Concept which need to be poke hole at:
Concept 1: Spoiler for Psiale:
Concept 2: Quote:
Concept 3: (because 3 is a charm) Spoiler for Esper Synergy:
==== Unrelated to the above concepts: I think I will name the story after the Heroine of the story (seeing how the title (Railgun and Index are named after the main heroines). Tagline is probably either: When Realities cross paths and new path opens. or as a joke: In the sea of delusion known as Academy City, an imaginary(?) battle unfold with the Delusion world as the center stage!

Darn 5 days and still no net. Its like an eternity since I was been able to surf the net but being an hermit in the mountains has perks.
some character info on what I'm planning. I'm just renting right now so my current target is searching on gods/goddess for targets. The ideas are up for changes and still not final. I hope the next time I surf the net. Something useful/helpful is posted. Spoiler for fic info:
I'm still brainstorming for ideas and some may notice on the ideas for weapon I choose. yes like psycho pass, mahouka and air gear need more sci-fi weapons that can kill/challenge gods. Shiage needs more shot guns or AK russian rifles. Ahh! flash grenades, frag grenades and smoke screen grenades. Still need more ideas for this one. I'm also still not set on the title of the fic or the name of the organization.

........
I should do a fic proposal thingy one of these days. = Anyway about your story.... It feels Shounen-ish. I think that is the direction you are taking (nothing wrong unless you are not). I take it that it is kind of a cross-over with Campione considering that you are applying the concept in To-Aru-verse. Just feel kind of weird though. But who knows, the finish product might actually be awesome. *Cough*Esper's ability *cough* It is sci-fic, technically a weapon mentioned by canon to have the potential of challenging/over-taking God. It's just immature/developing at of the moment. With that aside, I think I will still post one of my crazier idea (insane sci-fic weapon) later (currently busy at the moment). Use it as you please because I would only be using the dumb-down version of it in my story.

shounen-ish? yeh I got that feeling when I'm saying how those 2 had fan girls but what I'm hoping for is a broken man or maybe a mercenary. It still in initial stage and YES! I don't like shounen stuff.
I'm also debating on too much sci-fi weapon or just go back to conventional weapons like a normal desert eagle, m-16 or Ak for Shiage and the normal way for Touma. Falcon punch the enemy. hmm.... that's also good but man. I just love to overuse dark matter. With all the possibilities one can make with it. For now I will probably scratch the stupid school setting and set up the mercenary setting. I want a mysterious group that hunts down gods, demons, phantasmal beings or divine beings, Apostles and youkai. Witches, magicians, to occult. They even hunt down drug dealers or crime syndicate. They are trying to get into the dark side of the world to fine the answer to get back. I say it before and I will say it again. I'm not good with slice of life style of writing. I can picture the battles, gore and killing but not the ordinary life setting and I'm trying to incorporate that because Tamni also has that but that's only at the beginning before all turns to hell. hmm hmmm hmm..... another idea is when Touma is loosing hope and starting to become like Kiri but Shiage suggest that why not come back to school? "boss your brooding too much, if we are returning home then it might be good if you continue your education" for Shiage education isn't needed. Accel and Kakine are way above that. But for Touma an average person that was lost in track. Having a normal life would probably balance him out. That's the idea I'm trying to get. But maybe 3 months is indeed short. Maybe a couple of years before the start of campione novels. I'm also debating the idea of why even bother sending those 4 into campione world. Why not merge the 2 worlds or setting? like the campione indeed exist but in secret but my problem for that is ...... while campione are indeed strong. they are just few of them and if you compare them to the setting of tamni. The characters won't be balance at all. Shiage in dragon rider might be bad idea <_< I just want him to shine but maybe the guerrilla tactics that he do is better for him.

Perhaps you should scrap the idea of God-slaying. Unless you want to show why attempts to kill god is a horribly bad idea..... Being revived and killed repeatedly or make things go really bad (turn out the God is actually the only thing that kept people from summoning the Outer-Gods successfully). Quote:

Mundane stuff made pure awesome either by exaggeration (e.g. EPIC Exam cheating), plain stupidity (operating on troll logic) or epic fail (due to Touma's bad luck). Slice of life can also be a little heart-warming by showing the softer side of the character (probably work for Accelerator and Kakine.) About Shiage: You might want to consider making him use his brain more often. (Esper and Magician are still humans, humans HAVE lots of weakness). And I think Campione's setting is shounen...so....it is kind of inevitable that the story may turn out Shounen-ish. = Here is my definition of Seinen and Shounen: Shounen: More optimistic with probably a few drama to make it dramatic. Friendship, courage and hard-work. With enough perseverance, you will succeed in the end. Even if you don't, there is always hope. Seinen: More pessimistic and a varying twist of cynical (however, if you are nice enough, give a little glimmer of hope at the end of the darkness). One sentence to sum it all up: Life is unfair, deal with it. If you still don't get it, trying subverting or perversion some of Shounen's theme. Unrelated note: I am attempting both at once.

but that's the whole point of campione. though I also doubt Touma will kill somebody but when push to limits. Its like it will be opposite of what he desires. All his battle in the past ended up in beating the enemy but not outright kill them. Even Styl view him as naive individual but Touma is a selfish tyrant that will trample all with his might.
I'm thinking a lot of things right now and lots of things to consider. hmm needs a lot more planning then. But one thing is for sure. Touma will ended up killing his opponents one way or another(but not all) plus when kiri, shiki or archer do the killing it doesn't fell shounen-ish.

By the way, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about how golems work in the toaru-verse.Specifically I read on the wiki that Sherry managed to switch the language from Hebrew to English but I'm wondering how she did that or what it meant by that. |

Killing is serious business for them. A failed attempt means.... well....let just say their opponents can do lots of scary stuff to them (*cough*Fate/zero Caster is not very nice person). To sum it up, their life are basically living hell. Killing and defeating their enemies doesn't make their life better. It is just something they do. Don't forget what I mention about Seinen: Shounen is hopeful and optimistic (to trick young boys into thinking life is awesome and wonderful but Seinen....is a Perversion of Shounen. The reason is actually simple: unlike Shounen where everything(good and evil) is clear cut, Seinen is similar to real world, life is not all black or white but in different shades of colors (not even grey). So it's more about dealing with what you can and accepting what you can not. = Quote:

People die from choking on meatball, killer bees and falling flower pot (killer litter). Why nobody use that? I think there at least 100 ways to kill a humans. Humans are actually quite fragile.... anything impalement in torso or head, we would be in serious trouble (considering that most of our vital organs are there)

But taking your question seriously the bow and arrow is not a very common weapon. It is a worse version of a gun so why would anyone with common sense bother to choose it over a gun? But people do get killed or defeated in quite creative ways, not just bullets. I once had Misaka cut a mecha in half using another mecha's giant sword arm. Quote:

The same reason a number of FPS still presents them as viable weapons. A compose bow or crossbows is stealth weapon- more silent than a gun even with a suppressor. I believe they could also penetrate ballistic body armor that was design against bullets and shrapnel. Not too sure how it would affect aerodynamics if you attach explosives though... But my point is, it's weird to hear 'A bullet between the eyes could kill 95% of all the powerful magicians and ESPers in the story yet no one uses them.' You mean they're *gasp!* human like us ?! In all seriousness, remember the setting of the story- you're less likely to find guns use in Japan unlike America.
