It does, actually. Runessa has one. Problem is, we don't know the limits of this license. It could be TSAB personel only.

TheShinySword · 2009-08-13, 10:28

Awesome sauce, thanks Keroko, I'd forgotten about Runessa.

Wild Goose · 2009-08-13, 11:48

Most likely it's TSAB personnel only, and only issued if said personnel is in areas where there are a lot of mass weapons and said personnel will need to be able to defend themselves - which was the justification I had for the Erusian Gardai in keeping their guns.

Having never applied for such licenses, the OFM resort to keeping their guns hidden

Oh, thank you! Hm, I guess that does answer my question in a way (heh, and confirms my ears that I was hearing "Tee-ah" instead of "Tay-ah")...so if the full name is officially "Teana" and is pronounced (Ti)(a)(na) and the nickname is just pronounced (Ti)(a) then I probably ought to start spelling it Tea since the pronunciation didn't change and therefore the spelling probably ought to stay the same.

I think I liked "Tia" better because I keep wanting to read "Tea" in the English way, as in "the stuff Lindy puts sugar and milk in" when I know it's a two-syllable nickname, whereas "Teana" would be pronounced in English pretty much the way it's pronounced in Japanese (er, I mean the way the Japanese pronounce the character named Teana, not the way they would pronounce the Japanese syllables (Te)(a)(na)...).

I'd add non-magic field personnel to that list. Kind of a 'you don't have magic, so here is a gun instead' kind of thing. Runessa did go into the field as well after all.

MeisterBabylon · 2009-08-14, 06:20

I'd also like to add that because canon never really dwelt much on the topic, there's plenty of grey areas and inherent contradictions for a fandom creator to work with and expound on. At least, that's my kind of thing.

Is it possible to make a Velka cartridge( or a group of them) detonate or explode without using a Velka Device, such as shooting one with some sort of projectile or striking it hard enough with something?

We've never seen cartridges be subjected to such treatment, AFAIK, so we don't know. Sounds like something to theorize about in Magic and Tech.

TheShinySword · 2009-08-21, 00:12

Where did all the wolkies work prior to StrikerS? Were they all with Hayate?

Keroko · 2009-08-21, 02:46

Yes, they were all part of the same unit, as noted in the A's manga.

TheShinySword · 2009-08-21, 10:07

And by stirkerS they've all been moved, as shown in the StrikerS to A's manga. (Ended up doing my own research) thanks anyway

DezoPenguin · 2009-08-21, 17:43

Two questions today (woo!):

1. Can all the Numbers fly? We see Quattro, Sein, and Tre airborne...and I think Dieci in ep. 12. But on the other side, Wendi always zips around on her board instead of flying normally, and both of the Type-0s are stuck Wing Roading it around. Are there any Numbers we know can't fly?

2. Is it ever explicitly stated what happens to familiars when their masters are killed? I would assume that since they draw their magic from their masters that they'd die too, or at best immediately revert to being a "normal" animal...

Keroko · 2009-08-21, 18:00

We haven't seen much of Cinque, but we've never seen her fly, so I guess she's on the 'grounded until further notice' list.

Ironically, though you call Sein airborne... she isn't. She needed a Type-3 to fly her around in StrikerS. She can 'swim' through solid material though.

Nove is grounded as well, using Wing Road to fly.

Dieci... is another possibility. We've never seen her fly, so like Cinque, she's on the 'grounded until further notice' list.

On question number two, not to my knowledge, no. But perhaps there are untranslated sources that hold the answer.

Password · 2009-08-21, 18:27

I don't think Dieci can fly. She required Quattro to carry her around when they were running away in Ep. 12, after all.

As for Cinque, she's listed as (Ground) in her information card.

Nanya01 · 2009-08-21, 18:34

I KNOW Otto can fly.

She was in the air hovering and blasted Shamal and Zafira in episode 17.

Sette can fly. (Seen with Tre in episode 17)

I think Deed can fly as well.

Thanks to everyone who answered (I'd forgotten Quattro was carrying Dieci in ep. 12, too...)! Is there any information about Due specifically?

Nya~n · 2009-08-21, 23:05

Not much on Due, despite the fact that she's the hottest character in the series.
OK, fine, shoot me, I'm terribly biased when it comes to Due.

What we've got from her character bio in the official site...
Specialty: Espionage, assassination
Inherent Skill: Liar's Mask
Inherent Equipment: Piercing Nail
Flight Capabilities: None

I don't know if this has been discussed in the M&T thread, but:

What is the generally accepted baseline mage rank required for one to have enough power to create and maintain a familiar? Also, if one mage is too strained in order to easily provide constant power to a familiar, is it possible to share the flow of magic required to maintain a familiar between multiple mages? Finally, does the TSAB have a seperate Magic/Tech research branch, and what is it called? Thanks!
