Ugh.

Calm down. Yes. Calm down.

This is a work of FICTION.

[MeisterBabylon]

There, there...

But are we really going through with the Marisa-sensei thing? Cos the implications would be huge, the power levels impossible to contain, and all those IRC statements from Outer Cadia's Gensokyo veterans about their OCs having descended from yuri amongst Touhou characters (Noland from Yukari IIRC) would suddenly be true and in the face, if already implimented but swept under the carpet. Don't ask me for more details, what I know of Touhou was simply random scraps of information assimilated off IRC.

I have to admit though, I did draw plenty of inspiration from Gensokyo while designing one elvish Craftworld, but I found myself down-regulating many of the spells and abilities available to the residents, and some I have a good mind to just obmit.

I do hope you'd at least think about what this guy that everyone has called crazy is calling crazy...

The idea didn't involve yuri. However, I've long since abandoned that idea, returning to the humble peasant bloodline I had originally intended for Noland.

Also, Touhou girls are unbalanced like mad and waaaaaaay OP for use anywhere except in Gensokyo itself.

Behold, the invasion spreads.

[9taileddemon]

"Sir! We have reached our target and have just entered its orbit. We will be able to land within a day."

"Very good. Are the six of them prepared for entry?"

"Not completely sir. One has completed 95% of all preparations while the other five will need a little more time."

*sigh* "Annoying but not completely unexpected. Release Gokel as soon as he is completed and then release the others whenever they have finished all of their duties. It is time for Outer Cadia to welcome some new members."

Yeah just a little introductory post. I decided to stop lurking and actually post my OCs here. And comment on other people's characters/stories. Yay! Hope you guys can help me make them as good as they can be.

First character will be posted sometime this weekend.

See you then.

I'll just tell you to not feel upset if you don't get comments right off. People are mostly busy or distracted by something else. Comments will eventually come.

Don't forget they are mages.
They can cast spells without thier Devices, so the ability to shoot people is given all the time (Ok, no SLB but the anti-person/group stuff is possible).

Also there are some kind of special provisions, like Limiters (Maybe Limiters also can limit the magic of a mage to non-lethal only.) and the Devices themselfs, who are normaly smart enough to try to reason with thier partners and if nothing helps they still can refuse to help thier mage in killing people (Of course there are Devices who would not care if thier mage would start doing that ).

If I recall, you asked me previously whether Keroko could dodge Mirror right? Well, if I'm reading this correctly, pure dodging is going to be difficult. However, Keroko is also adept at using Blast Lancer as a countermeasure to incoming fire, so she is anything but helpless when fighting this adversary.

Regius and the High Council can't move openly to retrieve or destroy Zero, and with Carym personally protecting her politically, even legal wrangling gets harder. This adds fuel to the burning hatred and suspicion Regius has for the Church.

This raises several more questions. Even if by some inexplicable reason Kaprika was transported through Belkan routes, why did the Belkan attack the transport? Or for that matter, why wasn't the whole Cyborg leak traced back to its origin? You can't tell me that searches for this just stopped before StrikerS.

Originally Posted by MeisterBabylon

(I gave her a heart so shoot me. ) Not that Jail was forcing her to kill Kaprika too, just to wait for a chance to retrieve her. Others have to not only contend with Belka knights Karlheim and Cedric, they have to deal with Chrono's close protection sometimes, the Aces when they are babysitting, Cathedral Belka when they least expect it, butler Joseph O. Salim who is always around Kaprika, Saint Guard stormtroopers that routinely surround Carym, Anita and the Blutrabe sisters... The black-ops OFM had been given a strange order to take that girl by force, and despite an epic gunbattle, even they failed (though they didn't try as hard as they would if the order made sense).

But the attacks keep coming. And each time, it was always somebody else protecting her. It made her feel that she was a burden to the others (even Zero because of the harm inflicted just to save her) and was one of the reasons that spurred her to join the Church Knights as a youngling. In StrikerS, she graduates to Page under Tesla's tutelage, and follows her into Riot 6, setting up the rest of her story in StrikerS.

You're pulling in a lot of important characters here, even though bar Hayate who had some minor involvement through Genya, none of them really had any involvement with cyborgs before.

Even when she's out for the count, she feels that she's bothered Zero to come out and help, and so deserves to be sick.

.... So explain to me what the use is of giving her something like this then? It stretches the credibility to the point where even toilet paper offers more resistance, and it doesn't serve any plausible use?

Chest armor reminds me of stormtrooper armor. I know that's a bad thing for many, but from me, it's a compliment.

Antagonist faction featured in Journeyers: The Majestic Twelve

Affiliation: Formerly the Alwion Empire, now the Alwion Confederacy.

What are they: The Majestic Twelve, as they were called before the civil wars, were the twelve generals of the armed forces of the Empire. Now they serves the Confederacy. The generals are the heads of the twelve most powerful clans of the Confederacy. Other than the military matters, the generals are also competent in different fields, ranging from medias, research, magic studies to weapon industry and logistic.

Their role in Journeyers: They are basically the heads of the twelve armies of the Confederacy. While the power of the armies varies from one army to the other, a single Majestic hold a power that rivals the Aces, pride of the TSAB. It is not unlikely that one of them will be after the group of the Colonel Yagami, to capture her and her friends, and bring them to the Confederacy.
On the battlefield, they may very well be the ones who will give the most trouble to the Aces, the Strikers and the Volkenritters who stayed in Mid. Not to mention that each of them are escorted by nine of the 108 Immortals.

Ethics: They follows a code of honor vaguely comparable to the code of honor of the european medieval knights. However, their role in the politics of the former empire implies that their loyalty to the former imperal clan Vickers, the ideals of Alwion itself or the people of Alwion changes from one individual to another. It is very possible that all of them have their own agenda.

The Majestic Twelve and a short description of them:

Spoiler:

Spoiler for The 108 Immortals:

The 108 Immortals



Powerful combat cyborgs manufactured to serve a Clan leader and occasionally "cleanse" a planet. Each of the Majestic Twelve are given nine Immortals, and the Immortals usually battle in three groups of three. It is rumored that a trio is needed to cleanse a third of a world. They can generate plasma, are able to fly, they are highly resistant and the nanites almost turned them into non-organic lifeforms that can regenerate as long as they have energy and matter, with a heavy preference for metal. They however have a crucial flaw that will be revealed way later.

Spoiler for Inspiration:

Inspirations: The idea is very vaguely taken from the Nanto Roku Seiken. The name is from the game Deus Ex. Then I rolled with them and made this antagonist group.
The names of the Clan are taken from defunct British manufacturers.

First question that popped into my mind: When exactly does this antagonist faction appear in the Nanoha timeline?

Aaaw, though why do I get the feeling this is not going to be as easy as it sounds?

No one known, who could be that skilled to aproach at the point of giving a clean headshot? The autposy revealed that the bullet came from a personal short gun, not good enough to hit in the target at distance. Conclusion? Someone aproached Nanoha close enough to perform the shot, but why Nanoha didn't stop the attacker? It would had been easy for her... unless it was someone that she knew... someone that she trusted enough to don't suspect of a murder, I think I'm going somewhere here.

While I am very much in favor of the opinion that Barrier Jackets are effective weapons against common weaponry, and that defensive spells can withstand an impressive amount of pounding before going down, I am also of the opinion that without these defenses, even Nanoha is as vulnerable as any other person. A surprise attack would kill even her.

That said, the premise is intriguing.

Calm down. Yes. Calm down.

This is a work of FICTION.

Yes. Fiction. At times you look like you're not even trying to realize that Nanoha is not a military show, but a sci-fi fantasy show with a military ring to it.

Besides, Devices are more then just weapons. They are also communication devices, data management devices, agenda's, training aids...

Oh come now, have you forgotten who you are talking to? Not only do I lack knowledge of the Touhouverse to properly realize just ho powerful the cast is, I'm also someone who wants his characters to be balanced. When I port a character, I never port them wholesale.

That said, yes I am going through with this whole Marisa-shishou thing.

"Does our first contacts with the Confederation date from way before the official contacts." Nigel started.

"Affirmative" Carla nodded.

"The coming of Fiana Vickers in TSAB's zone of influence during MC 070, then the ensuing request of political asylum from her servants, has caused your department to send undercover agents in the Confederation's territory, correct?" Nigel continued.

A silence was the only answer from Carla. A silence that could be interpreted in many ways.

First unofficial contact wtih Alwion happened way back in 0070, when the revolution was about to meet its bloody conclusion with the execution of the imperial family, excepted Lady Fianna who was still a one year old baby. First diplomatic contact with the Confederacy happened shortly after the Marriage Incident. Journeyers and its events take place in MC0079.

The Twelve Clans who are mainly the vassals of the Imperial Family are as old as the history of Alwion. (there are of course many other minor clans). They begins to be known as the Majestic Twelve shortly before the one last civil war that led to the collapse of the empire and its replacement by the megacorporate state.

Okay, no problems there then. Though when were the 108 Immortals created then? Also around MC 0070?

[Sheba]

They were created during the last civil war, around MC0068.

Addendum


MC 0065-0070: Alwion last civil war. Casus Belli: Disastrous harvests resulting in slow economical collapse. And the slow fading of magic with equally devastating results. Yes, Alwion was one of the first to be affected.
MC 0068: The first of the 108 Immortal are manufactured.
MC 0069: The Revolution, backed up firstly by the Gloster Clan who wanted peace then by some of the twelve major clans. The clans just did not foresee that the revolution protagonists would go bolchevik on the imperial family later on. Starting with the far related cousins.
MC 0070: After a journey of several weeks, the maid and the butler of the Vickers imperial family, with the late heir of the Clan Hackworth, managed to go through the border separating the TSAB from the newly born Confederacy, bringing with them the last survivor of the Vickers. The heir of the Clan Hackworth, Lady Maeva's big brother, dies in the hands of Sir Rinaldo, while managing to buy time for the three people he was escorting.

Questions that can only Karlheim's story can solve. Unfortunately... it's too major to be revealed here. But you do raise a valid point; even though at no point were officials were involved or in the know of the recovery, thus containing the spread of information, this however meant that Kaprika should not have had contact with the Aces. At the same time, Karlheim does not have the resources to feed her alone; Kaprika needs a proper guardian...

That means she meets the Aces, but as a girl Karlheim rescued and needs help taking care for. This is if I were to keep to the current plans mostly intact; otherwise I'll attempt another way around it. It will only be revealed who she really is in StrikerS. She gets her maintenance in the meantime from Artei, and he is more than capable at doing it.

And Jail was not found out was simply because the terrorist group had many fish to fry and, before they got to the core, was ultimately destroyed later that year, cutting short their chase and hence why I never worried about it in the first place.

The new change would limit the damage.

Because all this is before she gains the ability to use it. Kaprika and Zero eventually working together is a questline of its own, in StrikerS, where her true identity is revealed, Jail enacts his failsafe in Kaprika, and Kia begins to move the chess pieces for the next stage. The end point is that Karl and Kaprika both master Tracing, Karl being proficient with magical copies while Kaprika can reproduce anything conventional.

Kia is planning something, and her children eugenically from birth all part of it.

But I don't think she's anywhere Eldritch, is she, unlike in my fandom...

I'm still reading up on Marisa, but my best guess is that she might be a Warlock...? She's a bit too whack, despite her talents and ability to stand up to one, to be a full Autarch in rank and command.

Reimu would be great on an anti-grav jetbike though!

Calm down. Yes. Calm down.

This is a work of FICTION.

I disagree and think you're looking at this from the wrong perspective, your thinking military you SHOULD be thinking police.

Police Officers are always on duty and always expected to be armed in fact many departments REQUIRE that the officer always be in possession of a weapon even when "off duty". The TSAB military is a hybrid organization with some military aspects, but in the absence of a large external threat it's main mission is law enforcement hence it will often act more like a giant state police agency then an army. It wouldn't surprise me if like most Police a TSAB Officer witnessing a criminal act while off duty would be expected or even required to intervene to stop it and thus would also be expected to be armed in order to do so.

[AdmiralTigerclaw]

So here's a thought...

What would you guys think about the fight between the Forwards and Zed-01 in the Cranagan battle? I want to make this villain as scary as possible for this fight. I'm figuring that unlike in his first appearance, where he was disabled from effective combat almost immediately, this time he proves just how dangerous he is by keeping the forwards and Crash AND Lynn occupied quite nicely...

All while this music plays:

Actual Boss Fight

The autposy revealed that the bullet came from a personal short gun, not good enough to hit in the target at distance. Conclusion? Someone aproached Nanoha close enough to perform the shot, but why Nanoha didn't stop the attacker? It would had been easy for her... unless it was someone that she knew... someone that she trusted enough to don't suspect of a murder, I think I'm going somewhere here.

It's very, very simple:

Fate killed her.

To skin her and wear her skin while rubbing herself erotically.
