You Don't see them generally, but Revolver Knuckle uses a... well, revolver loading system. There is one time where it is displayed in full view:

Spoiler for IS: Silver Retriever:

Then it was me. Ignore what I said.

Originally I planned a swallow blade. 'Till I began to think its:
A. Hard to imagine how to fight with one for me
B. Where in the world does the cartridge sit without being in a very awkward position?
C. On that same note, where would the core be? Since its a Midchildan made device and all

So I began to plan other ideas:
1. Swallow blade
2. Katana
3. Sword/gun combo (So yes two devices)
4. Gunblade (Suggested by someone else )

Open to suggestions but I prefer a blade of some sort due to her friendship with Signum and helping Vivio with her own swordsmanship.
A sword-gun combo sounds really cool. The Cartridge system is obvious with the gun, and the sword can use a similar system to Levantine. The core would be along the side of the gun, similar to Cross Mirage. The sword doesn't need a core per-se, as you already have it in the gun.

- Mentionned populations start to make secession, this is especially true on the borders of the Empire where its hold is the weakest.

- Unwelcomed disasters, like bad harvest for the agriculture sector, strikes from workers in the industry, and the natural disasters (earthquake, meteor fall, you name it) has make the faith and trust of the population in the emperor crumble.

- Noblemen and generals want their part in the political and military power cakes and likely staged a coup in various occasions.

- Then there are this war that has brought the empire to its knees, and made it history.
And that's a perfectly viable way to view it.

The red worked fine in the above shot... But I'll play with various screens and colors for a while, thanks for the input.

Then you should probably know that there isn't much about Hikaru that can be ported. Hikaru is an 'angel', a battle doll whom we only get to see move during the fights, and she never speaks a word. There's no past, no secret history, all we have is her in combat. Her fighting style and personallity in combat (really, even though she doesn't say a word, she has quite a presence).

That has up and downsides means you can do lots of stuff with her character wise, but also means that her history and backstory is rather thin.
Define 'rush down.' She doesn't buldozer in without a plan (having low armor, that gets you killed the moment you're up against a smart oponent) but uses her speed to her advantage, getting close before the enemy has a chance to react (circumstancial, but its the idea) or getting behind them and lay traps. Analyze, use the speed and agillity to avoid attacks while revealing none of yours untill you know you can strike.

I'm trying to limit anymore SG crack though and besides him pretty much the entire cast of my fic is now genuine OCs. (well Pixy and Cipher are tributes obviously, but are tenuously related to there source material at best, plus since Cipher was basiclly a blank slat I've pretty much created his characterization from the ground up anyway)
O'Neil deserves to stay because he's O'Neil, that's all the excuse needed. :3 And I have no problems with Pixy and Cipher, the best ports are ports that don't require you to have seen/played/read the original, both of them do just fine in that department.

True, but like I said, I know this machinema maker. This one was a rotten apple in the basket.

Things were a lot less... anxious back then though.

One of the main reasons I leave Aspect Mages as a reference only. It's a fairly unknown magic style that's far in decline anyway <_<

Well, technically his 'Divine Beings' aren't divine at all. The Naaru are basically giant mana batteries (concidering their energies can be drained and used without their concent), which is a lot more plausible.

If you have time, please Visit my FFN Profile - the link's on my sig, and read my fic... yes all current 96 chapters of it, leave a review or two and some suggestions.

And if I have time, another OC contract perhaps?

That reminds me to work on that fic.
Will do, later. Kinda busy at the moment. It's late and vacation's over. -_-;
