And before I get yelled at for not posting this in the Magic And Tech thread, I already did. I was ignored.

*takes a deep breath*

Spoiler for Looongcrack:

15 years ago, a fire broke out at a high energy plant running an experiment it wasn't supposed to run. We all know that as the Precia incident, the one that killed Alicia.

This is where Rebuilt comes in. My crack says that fire was no mere accident, but a manipulative effort to create the spark that would ravage through vast areas of land. Several leylines that conduct power across had their failsafes sabotaged, and thus reacted violently to an otherwise isolated event.

The final effect was the sacking of by magical fire of several towns and provinces within a 50mile radius, and a slow spreading magical plague that corrupted all life and rendered many more areas inhabitable. Those destroyed in the fire included Renault, Kha's town of birth and hence the last stronghold of Ancient Belka, the original Sankt Alexei Convent.

We now call those places sealed within towering walls of concrete the Plaguelands.

Anatomy of a Plagued Town: Cerulean City

A short drive from the Scarlet Temple that monitors all of the Plagued's activity within the Plaguelands, Cerulean City of Renault is the first abandoned city one encounters. The tall destroyed buildings may be barren on the exterior, but in the daylight that is just a facade that hides the tortured and twisted beings within. At nightfall, these former human beings that we call the Plagued come out to hunt and feed. As they lack the rudimentary intelligence to make tools or do any complicated actions, the wall barriers starting from Scarlet Temple and spreading Westwards and Northwards to the next outpost managed by other groups is enough to contain the threat.

Reclaimation of the Plaguelands

Due to the threat of corruption and from mutated lifeforms, reclaimation of the destroyed areas have been at best slow in progress. Over 15 years, TSAB authorities and Belka officials have worked hard to only reduce the size of the Plaguelands to 45% of the maximum extent. The stubborn core of the Plaguelands still encompasses the provinces of Renault (Southern Plaguelands), Ferrari (Northern Plaguelands) and the Ground Zero of the accident that's sandwiched by the Plaguelands, the magiengineering industrial and residential center, Stratholme.

Reclaimed Lands

Due to safety concerns, no civilian movement are allowed on former Plagueland as the TSAB has imposed a 100 year cooldown on the area so as to be completely sure the land has gone benign. However, the several stretches of abandoned airports and cities have since been earmarked as training ground for TSAB personnel, letting their sometimes wanton training crumble the buildings into powder.

Knights, as part of their training, sometimes make forays into the Plaguelands to complete quests and earn Stars that boost their licence ranking.

Consequences for Late StrikerS

Several other sites, along with some areas within the Plaguelands, soon became the battlegrounds for the Battle of Cradle in late MC 0071. Jail had discovered several weaknesses in the TSAB's ground deployment due to the Reclaimed Lands, and used them to maximum effect, forcing personnel to battle in dangerous no-man's lands. The Reclaimed and Plaguelands also proved to be havens in hiding his stealthed equipment.

By the height of the brief civil war, the TSAB were all but stunned by the sheer amount of resources that Jail had at his disposal, as well as how much he had denied the Midchilda forces.

The Forsaken

Within the last 10 years, a new group of humans emerged in the Plaguelands. Living in the sewer network of Ferrari City, these fortunate individuals who retained their sanity despite the corruption, or had broken free from the Plague's Chaos taint called themselves the Forsaken, and carved out a meagre existence from their new home they call the Undercity.

For years the Scarlet Crusade, a branch of Radical Belka aimed at destroying all of the Plagued, crossed swords with the Forsaken, and it is only recently that under Carym and Kha's brokering, and Celestial Being's repeated intervention, that the Scarlet Crusade and Forsaken were reigned in. While the civilized world continue to hold distain for the contorted Forsaken, at least a fragile peace has settled in on the Plaguelands for the first time in over a decade. And Kha, even though a Cleric-knight himself, is on good terms with the Forsaken leader Lacus Lamperouge and continues to be one of the loudest voices for Forsaken reconciliation in the civilized world.

Forsaken sometimes do show up in the Reclaimed Lands, but as long as they don't get in the way of the TSAB, this truce shall continue...

Spoiler for Maho Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Alpha, Episode 1, Scene 3:

Light-years away, a different door opened.

Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.

Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.

For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.

Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.

April 4th, MC0080? she read. This report is three years old! What's she reading it-

Medical Report on Subject VT-001, Sankt Kaiser

Vivio was suddenly a lot more interested. A medical report about me? What, is there something wrong with me? And why are they calling me by my ancestor name? Narrowing her eyes, she began to read.

Captain Takamachi Nanoha,
This report is classified information, dated April 4th, MC0080, concerning the state of your adopted daughter's physical well-being. No one is allowed to see this report, not even your daughter, nor any higher-ranking friends or family. As such, this document is classified under Code OMICRON, For Your Eyes Only.

Your daughter's physical on March 21st has given the medical department some concern, believed to be related to her status as a biological copy of the Sankt Kaiser. The problem lies within her body's cellular structure; she shows the same problems as subject FT-001 (see the report on Harlown, Fate T. that we have sent you), though at an accelerated rate. We believe this to be because of prisoner JS-823543; he did not create your daughter to be a-

Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"

The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"

"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"

"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"

"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."

"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"

Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"

"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"

"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."

In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.

"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?

Vivio clenched her eyes shut and purged the thoughts from her mind. She was in no mood to think about this; the burning in her chest and the pain in her hand faded as she tried to focus on things that made her happy. Her friend, Syn, her mother, Fate, her sister, Keroko; anything that would take her mind off of the woman who was just below her, letting herself fall into despair.

Vivio swore not to be like that. If she had problems, she would talk about them! That's what family and friends were for! She would refuse to fall into sadness. That was not her! ...right?

Sitting up, Vivio nodded to herself. "Right. I am not her. I am not Nanoha Takamachi. I am Vivio Takamachi," it was the same speech she had given herself hundreds of times. Usually it helped. "I'll be damned if I will end up like that. I don't know what it's going to take, mama, but I know that one day, you'll get out of it..." she looked around her room as she said this - at the holes in the wall, the destroyed objects that littered the floor, the ripped posters and the computer that didn't work because Vivio had decided to throw it at Nanoha one day - and promised herself, not for the first time, that she would stop. "I have to... for her... for Fate-mama... and because it's not worth it, ne?"

She walked over to her satchel and picked it up. "Mama... I love you... really, I do... I just want to work things out between us... between all of us... before something bad happens..." setting the satchel down on her desk, Vivio pulled her cellphone out of her pocket and dialed a number, one that she had memorized. Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.

"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"
"...I did it again," Vivio said after a pause, opening a science text and flipping to the correct page.
"Ah," Syn said. "Who was the victim this time?"
"The wall again," Vivio said almost casually. Pulling a piece of paper from the desk, she began to write and talk at the same time. "I'm sorry, S... I told you I'd stop this."

"And I told you it wouldn't happen overnight, V," Syn said in an almost scolding way. From the sounds in the background, Vivio decided that Syn was at a bus stop; usually the one she took home. "It's only been two weeks since you asked for my help in this. You have to give it time; like I said, you have to vent your anger, talk yourself down, and then talk with someone else about what's wrong. So, spill."

"..." Vivio paused and leaned back in her chair, sitting on two legs. "Well... I saw something today. It was a report from three years back," At the thought of the paper, Vivio felt her anger rising again, but shoved it back down. "It was... about me..."

"Oh?" Syn sounded curious. "What was it about?"
"I'm not sure... Nanoha-mama kind of tried to hide it from me." Vivio began to chew on the end of her pen. "It's really weird... but I wanna know what's in it..."

"That does seems odd," Syn agreed. "What did you see on it?"
"Something about cellular structure, a relation between me and Fate-mama... and something about 'Omicron'-"
"Woah," Syn interrupted. "Omicron? That's one of the highest levels of TSAB security!"
"Is it? I don't know... maybe I read it wrong." Vivio suddenly became worried. What is it? Am I dangerous? Do I have a disease or something? "They listed me as 'Vee Tee dash zero zero one.'"

"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.

"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"

"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"

Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."

"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.

"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"

Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?

On the floor below, Nanoha lay on the couch with a hand clutching the Sankt Kaiser report tightly. An arm rested on her closed eyes as she wondered if maybe, for once, she should go up to Vivio's room and talk to her.

No... she decided. It would cause too much grief, for either of us...

Rolling over onto her side, Nanoha used both her arms as a pillow, and tried falling asleep.

I know Nanoha was supposed to be down in this arc, but DAMN... she's in a lot worse shape than I imagined her to be, and unfortunately all that negative energy's slowly leaking into Vivio with catastrophic effects

At least Syn's there to keep her sane And now the mystery begins.

uhoh:

Something I'm thinking about, I think I can classify the differences in TAIS and CRASH's random events.

Take a scenerio with a single adjustable desk chair in an isolated room.

If TAIS sits in the chair, I'm pretty sure the chair will find some way to slip out from under him or topple unexpectedly.

If CRASH sits in the chair, nothing happens. HOWEVER... Upon finding the chair to be slightly uncomfortable, he'll reach down and grab the adjustment handle.
Now, with normal bad luck, you'd expect the handle to just snap. Not quite. Instead, the air canister that allows you to adjust the chair height will break at the connection point of the handle, causing the canister to depressurize instantly and the chair to settle/collapse under Crash. This in turn would trigger weaker components of the chair to break and snap, resulting in the chair seeming to just fall apart uncerimoniously.

Put these two in the same room together, and TAIS' luck would be the same. However, the resulting effect of that luck would push Crash's aptitude into motion, and trigger a chain reaction that would amplify the results of Tais' luck a hundred fold.


TAIS is a trigger, and Crash is an amplifier.

By himself, Crash is neutral. He destroys propperty, but it somehow never hurts anyone.

Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.

In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.

How old is Belka? Would it be possible to have a part of ancient Belka people settling on another world, some millenium ago, losing all contact with the original Belka and deviating from the original deal as years, decades and centuries pass?

Nothing that will affect your history. Don't worry.

Nice!

Spoiler for Maho Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Alpha, Episode 1, Scene 3:

Light-years away, a different door opened.

Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.

Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.

For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.

Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.

April 4th, MC0080? she read. This report is three years old! What's she reading it-

Medical Report on Subject VT-001, Sankt Kaiser

Vivio was suddenly a lot more interested. A medical report about me? What, is there something wrong with me? And why are they calling me by my ancestor name? Narrowing her eyes, she began to read.

Captain Takamachi Nanoha,
This report is classified information, dated April 4th, MC0080, concerning the state of your adopted daughter's physical well-being. No one is allowed to see this report, not even your daughter, nor any higher-ranking friends or family. As such, this document is classified under Code OMICRON, For Your Eyes Only.

Your daughter's physical on March 21st has given the medical department some concern, believed to be related to her status as a biological copy of the Sankt Kaiser. The problem lies within her body's cellular structure; she shows the same problems as subject FT-001 (see the report on Harlown, Fate T. that we have sent you), though at an accelerated rate. We believe this to be because of prisoner JS-823543; he did not create your daughter to be a-

Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"

The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"

"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"

"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"

"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."

"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"

Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"

"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"

"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."

In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.

"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?

Vivio clenched her eyes shut and purged the thoughts from her mind. She was in no mood to think about this; the burning in her chest and the pain in her hand faded as she tried to focus on things that made her happy. Her friend, Syn, her mother, Fate, her sister, Keroko; anything that would take her mind off of the woman who was just below her, letting herself fall into despair.

Vivio swore not to be like that. If she had problems, she would talk about them! That's what family and friends were for! She would refuse to fall into sadness. That was not her! ...right?

Sitting up, Vivio nodded to herself. "Right. I am not her. I am not Nanoha Takamachi. I am Vivio Takamachi," it was the same speech she had given herself hundreds of times. Usually it helped. "I'll be damned if I will end up like that. I don't know what it's going to take, mama, but I know that one day, you'll get out of it..." she looked around her room as she said this - at the holes in the wall, the destroyed objects that littered the floor, the ripped posters and the computer that didn't work because Vivio had decided to throw it at Nanoha one day - and promised herself, not for the first time, that she would stop. "I have to... for her... for Fate-mama... and because it's not worth it, ne?"

She walked over to her satchel and picked it up. "Mama... I love you... really, I do... I just want to work things out between us... between all of us... before something bad happens..." setting the satchel down on her desk, Vivio pulled her cellphone out of her pocket and dialed a number, one that she had memorized. Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.

"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"
"...I did it again," Vivio said after a pause, opening a science text and flipping to the correct page.
"Ah," Syn said. "Who was the victim this time?"
"The wall again," Vivio said almost casually. Pulling a piece of paper from the desk, she began to write and talk at the same time. "I'm sorry, S... I told you I'd stop this."

"And I told you it wouldn't happen overnight, V," Syn said in an almost scolding way. From the sounds in the background, Vivio decided that Syn was at a bus stop; usually the one she took home. "It's only been two weeks since you asked for my help in this. You have to give it time; like I said, you have to vent your anger, talk yourself down, and then talk with someone else about what's wrong. So, spill."

"..." Vivio paused and leaned back in her chair, sitting on two legs. "Well... I saw something today. It was a report from three years back," At the thought of the paper, Vivio felt her anger rising again, but shoved it back down. "It was... about me..."

"Oh?" Syn sounded curious. "What was it about?"
"I'm not sure... Nanoha-mama kind of tried to hide it from me." Vivio began to chew on the end of her pen. "It's really weird... but I wanna know what's in it..."

"That does seems odd," Syn agreed. "What did you see on it?"
"Something about cellular structure, a relation between me and Fate-mama... and something about 'Omicron'-"
"Woah," Syn interrupted. "Omicron? That's one of the highest levels of TSAB security!"
"Is it? I don't know... maybe I read it wrong." Vivio suddenly became worried. What is it? Am I dangerous? Do I have a disease or something? "They listed me as 'Vee Tee dash zero zero one.'"

"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.

"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"

"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"

Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."

"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.

"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"

Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?

On the floor below, Nanoha lay on the couch with a hand clutching the Sankt Kaiser report tightly. An arm rested on her closed eyes as she wondered if maybe, for once, she should go up to Vivio's room and talk to her.

No... she decided. It would cause too much grief, for either of us...

Rolling over onto her side, Nanoha used both her arms as a pillow, and tried falling asleep.

This is really starting to get really intriguing... Nanoha is... And more Syn-WIN here.
MOAR please!

Take a scenerio with a single adjustable desk chair in an isolated room.

If TAIS sits in the chair, I'm pretty sure the chair will find some way to slip out from under him or topple unexpectedly.

If CRASH sits in the chair, nothing happens. HOWEVER... Upon finding the chair to be slightly uncomfortable, he'll reach down and grab the adjustment handle.
Now, with normal bad luck, you'd expect the handle to just snap. Not quite. Instead, the air canister that allows you to adjust the chair height will break at the connection point of the handle, causing the canister to depressurize instantly and the chair to settle/collapse under Crash. This in turn would trigger weaker components of the chair to break and snap, resulting in the chair seeming to just fall apart uncerimoniously.

Put these two in the same room together, and TAIS' luck would be the same. However, the resulting effect of that luck would push Crash's aptitude into motion, and trigger a chain reaction that would amplify the results of Tais' luck a hundred fold.


TAIS is a trigger, and Crash is an amplifier.

By himself, Crash is neutral. He destroys propperty, but it somehow never hurts anyone.

Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.

In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.

Murphy has a soft spot for these two doesn't he?

... I think the Tais/Crash combination is going to be ideal in busting up Fate Alteration Machines, Laplace Demon Computers and the like... the concentration of BAD LUCK would mess up any calculation

...

Gemi-stigma! It's happening again!!! I wonder who's gonna sacrifice a powerful divine spell and do that baptism ritual to rebirth Vivio...

Spoiler for FYI...:

For those who are out of the loop, Fate had that disease with afflicts all clones born without blessing of the Naaru. In order to fix it, as part of Kha long fight against his destiny, he sacrificed the indomitable "Augen des Gottes", his only attack spell that really had bite and went through great lengths to "rebirth" Fate.

Needless to say, he succeeded. But losing that spell, and having stressed himself to near-unconciousness later almost cost him his life.

Like Mwu la Fllaga. Length of time spent "dead" included.

This is turning out really awesome.

Well not exactly as that. Its just that Knights do quests to level up literally, and they can go anywhere depending on the quest-giver. Its just that that big monster-filled hole is great for grinding quests.

Not that it matters. Kaempfer's dragonflight has several sisters, mothers and grandmothers to help out.

It's like a private army, if you look at the full family tree...

Hmmm, backlog. I'll have to do bigger breakers for a while, concidering I'm also spending some leasure time in the fanfiction thread these days working on my non-Nanofate Dating Sim (staring Nanoha as the lead character).

In the beginning, yes. She was already labelled because of her parents, so she hid her eyes to avoid being labelled because of that as well (of course, the fact that very few people walk around with eyepatches totally escaped her six-year-old mind ) In the more recent days, she keeps it on because it radiates an aura badass, which she uses to much intimidate those who try to insult her.

Working on it, I'm still thinking on what her device should be... In my opinion, a device is very important for ones style of combat. Part of the reason why I'm not too fond of Teana's dagger mode is because it clashes with her style of combat. To me it's more a last resort weapon then a good melee weapon.

Well, while Nanoha didn't practice it herself, we know she did watch her siblings from time to time, so we can safely say that she does know a little about them.

Anyway, Sunny-chan isn't frontline staff, but now is on OJT as a melee combat instructor as Saint Church. As such there's not much chance of her meeting combat anyway.

As for your point, I'd like to point out that Artei's blade is just that, a piece of metal. But what makes it special is that it's made of Gerbera Straight, a rare metal that imbibes mana readily and strengthens itself. While Hina can't strengthen the blade passively like Artei can, the metal will absorb mana from attacks it intercepts and resist the attack fully, so a certain extent of course, and not as much as a Convocator can, but she then makes up for it with the rest of her skill.

Sou, a second person using a Gerbera Straight weapon has appeared... Gotta love Lowe Gowe's sword. :3

*runs*

In other words, instructor, but not a combatant, yes?

Any reason for the 'grandfather interdimensional trade' thing?

And before I get yelled at for not posting this in the Magic And Tech thread, I already did. I was ignored.

My personal theory is that those are remains of the last great war. It wasn't cleaned up for many years due to personel, time and money constraints, so in the end they smply gave up on cleaning it up and instead transformed it into the training parcours you see in Episode 1.

Spoiler for Maho Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Alpha, Episode 1, Scene 3:

Light-years away, a different door opened.

Vivio stepped inside her home and slid her shoes off, muttering a soft "I'm home." Stepping around the shoes, Vivio thought about walking straight to her room, but thought that maybe she should at least give her mom a cursory hello before starting her homework. Still my mom. She thought to herself as she walked through the corridor to the living room, heading to the kitchen in the back. The TV was on and muted, usually an indicator of Nanoha watching something she didn't like... this meant that she'd be in an even worse mood than normal.

Stopping at the threshold and peeking inside, she saw Nanoha sitting at the dining room table with her back to her daughter, reading a paper; probably work-stuff. This came as no surprise to Vivio; ever since Nanoha had come back from off-world, she landed a desk job in the TSAB facilities here in the city. Though she didn't quite understand it (having heard Nanoha's stories about flying and training others since she was six), she figured that whatever had happened had something to do with her... well, her.

For a while, Vivio said nothing as she watched her mom read. Nanoha was silent as she read, a hand playing with a strand of hair absently. Vivio imagined strained, half-squinted blue-purple eyes peering at the report, analyzing its contents and processing them for future reference. It might have been something for logistics, troop movement on the planet, or simply a memo reminding Nanoha about something important. Regardless, she was totally absorbed into it.

Vivio slowly walked up behind Nanoha, keeping her movements soft and her footsteps light, until she was totally behind her mother. She stretched up on her tiptoes, trying to get a good look at the paper.

April 4th, MC0080? she read. This report is three years old! What's she reading it-

Medical Report on Subject VT-001, Sankt Kaiser

Vivio was suddenly a lot more interested. A medical report about me? What, is there something wrong with me? And why are they calling me by my ancestor name? Narrowing her eyes, she began to read.

Captain Takamachi Nanoha,
This report is classified information, dated April 4th, MC0080, concerning the state of your adopted daughter's physical well-being. No one is allowed to see this report, not even your daughter, nor any higher-ranking friends or family. As such, this document is classified under Code OMICRON, For Your Eyes Only.

Your daughter's physical on March 21st has given the medical department some concern, believed to be related to her status as a biological copy of the Sankt Kaiser. The problem lies within her body's cellular structure; she shows the same problems as subject FT-001 (see the report on Harlown, Fate T. that we have sent you), though at an accelerated rate. We believe this to be because of prisoner JS-823543; he did not create your daughter to be a-

Nanoha suddenly started, grabbing the folder the report came in and throwing it over the papers she was looking at. "How much did you see?!"

The sudden shift in attitude caused Vivio to jump and back away from Nanoha. "Wh-what-"
"How much?!" Nanoha repeated, trying desparately to hide the documents. "You shouldn't do stuff like that, Vivio!"
"What's that report about?" Vivio reasserted herself and took a step forward, quickly shifting from surprised to suspicious. "Why is it calling me 'Sankt Kaiser'? What's wrong with my body?"

"It's nothing for you to worry about, Vivio!" Nanoha answered, picking up the last of the papers and stuffing them in the folder. "It's better if you just forgot about it, okay?"

"What's it about, Mama?" Vivio pressed. "Why won't you let me see? It's about me, my body, don't I deserve to know? Please!"

"..." Nanoha paused, looking away. "Listen, Vivio... I don't want you do know. You don't need to know. I wish I didn't know, either."

"Why is Fate-mama mentioned too?" Nanoha's weak defense had already collapsed; not surprising, as that was far too easy nowadays. "What's this stuff about celluar structures and accelerated rates? Mom, answer me!"

Nanoha simply looked away, unable to meet her daughter's eyes. "I... I can't tell you... I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" Vivio shouted at her, clenching a fist. "Why do you always do this?! Why can't you be normal anymore?!"

"I..." Nanoha seemed on the verge of tears... again. "Vivio, I... I can't, okay? I can't show you."
"..." Vivio narrowed her eyes and lowered them to the ground. "Why are you doing this, mama? What happened to our family? Why are you pushing us all away now? What gives you the right to hurt my feelings this way?!"

"...it will be easier... in the long run," Nanoha said unconvincingly. "For you, and for me."
"Liar," Vivio said, her voice cracking slightly. "I hate this... you've been like this for years... I want my old mama back... not you!" Vivio turned around and stormed out of the kitchen, her hair like fire trailing behind her. Nanoha didn't watch her go, but as she heard Vivio run up the stairs and slam her door shut, she sank to her knees and put a hand to her mouth. The papers she so desparately hid from Vivio dropped to the floor, forgotten, as she sank into deep despair.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered to the air. "I can't protect you anymore... I can't stop destiny, Vivio... and I can't make it less painful," she looked to the floor, her hair falling across her shoulders like water. "I'm so sorry..."

In her room, Vivio, in her rage, threw her satchel at the far wall. She screamed, a cry of sadness of anger, and clenched her fists as tightly as she could and rammed one into the wall next to her door, cracking it vertically and splintering the drywall, forming another sore spot on a wall that already had dozens. Finding solace in the throbbing pain in her hand, Vivio dropped down on her bed. Holding the hand gently, she fought back tears of two different kinds of pain.

"I'm just like her..." she said to herself. Mama, I just want you back... but I can't even look at you without either getting angry. What's wrong with me?! What are you hiding?

Vivio clenched her eyes shut and purged the thoughts from her mind. She was in no mood to think about this; the burning in her chest and the pain in her hand faded as she tried to focus on things that made her happy. Her friend, Syn, her mother, Fate, her sister, Keroko; anything that would take her mind off of the woman who was just below her, letting herself fall into despair.

Vivio swore not to be like that. If she had problems, she would talk about them! That's what family and friends were for! She would refuse to fall into sadness. That was not her! ...right?

Sitting up, Vivio nodded to herself. "Right. I am not her. I am not Nanoha Takamachi. I am Vivio Takamachi," it was the same speech she had given herself hundreds of times. Usually it helped. "I'll be damned if I will end up like that. I don't know what it's going to take, mama, but I know that one day, you'll get out of it..." she looked around her room as she said this - at the holes in the wall, the destroyed objects that littered the floor, the ripped posters and the computer that didn't work because Vivio had decided to throw it at Nanoha one day - and promised herself, not for the first time, that she would stop. "I have to... for her... for Fate-mama... and because it's not worth it, ne?"

She walked over to her satchel and picked it up. "Mama... I love you... really, I do... I just want to work things out between us... between all of us... before something bad happens..." setting the satchel down on her desk, Vivio pulled her cellphone out of her pocket and dialed a number, one that she had memorized. Calming herself down and trying desparately to feel normal, she sat down to do homework. As the phone rang, she picked up a pen and set it next to her left hand. While she reached in her satchel for a book, the other line picked up.

"Hey, V," Syn greeted. "...are you okay?"
"...I did it again," Vivio said after a pause, opening a science text and flipping to the correct page.
"Ah," Syn said. "Who was the victim this time?"
"The wall again," Vivio said almost casually. Pulling a piece of paper from the desk, she began to write and talk at the same time. "I'm sorry, S... I told you I'd stop this."

"And I told you it wouldn't happen overnight, V," Syn said in an almost scolding way. From the sounds in the background, Vivio decided that Syn was at a bus stop; usually the one she took home. "It's only been two weeks since you asked for my help in this. You have to give it time; like I said, you have to vent your anger, talk yourself down, and then talk with someone else about what's wrong. So, spill."

"..." Vivio paused and leaned back in her chair, sitting on two legs. "Well... I saw something today. It was a report from three years back," At the thought of the paper, Vivio felt her anger rising again, but shoved it back down. "It was... about me..."

"Oh?" Syn sounded curious. "What was it about?"
"I'm not sure... Nanoha-mama kind of tried to hide it from me." Vivio began to chew on the end of her pen. "It's really weird... but I wanna know what's in it..."

"That does seems odd," Syn agreed. "What did you see on it?"
"Something about cellular structure, a relation between me and Fate-mama... and something about 'Omicron'-"
"Woah," Syn interrupted. "Omicron? That's one of the highest levels of TSAB security!"
"Is it? I don't know... maybe I read it wrong." Vivio suddenly became worried. What is it? Am I dangerous? Do I have a disease or something? "They listed me as 'Vee Tee dash zero zero one.'"

"I'll look into it," Syn assured her. "If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
"How are you going to find out?" Vivio asked, though she was fairly certain she knew.
"Same way I find everything out! Dad's computer!" Syn said. From the sound of her voice, Vivio knew she was smiling like a Cheshire cat.

"Just don't get caught, S," Vivio told her as she sat the chair back down on four legs and stared at her science book.
"I won't! Trust me, V!"
"...okay." Vivio sighed. "One day, I'm gonna have to bail you out of jail, aren't I?"

"Nah," Syn assured her. "You won't be able to! You'll be sitting next to me in the cell!"
Vivio's eyes widened. "What?"
"Well, you know, I'm sure we'd get in trouble by having sex in the park-"
"Syn!" Vivio gasped, taking the bait. "Why would you-" Vivio was interrupted by Syn's full-throated laughter.
"You believed me again!" Syn said gleefully.
"...you know I'm not in the mood for jokes, Syn..." Vivio huffed.
"Yeah, but you feel better now, don't ya?"

Vivio paused, thinking. She realized that it felt like a small bit of weight had come off of her shoulders. "Uh... well, yeah... I do."

"See? I treat you well, V," Syn said. "Leave it to me to cheer you up, okay?"
"I don't wanna rely solely on you, S," Vivio deadpanned.
"I know, but it's nice to need each other, right?" Syn told her.
"...yeah." Vivio smiled.

"I'll tell you what I find out, V," Syn assured her.
"Okay. I look forward to it, S,".
"Bye, V,"
"Bye, S,"

Vivio hung up the phone and put it down on her desk. She always knows how to make me feel better. she mused as she dived into her homework. I wonder how?

On the floor below, Nanoha lay on the couch with a hand clutching the Sankt Kaiser report tightly. An arm rested on her closed eyes as she wondered if maybe, for once, she should go up to Vivio's room and talk to her.

No... she decided. It would cause too much grief, for either of us...

Rolling over onto her side, Nanoha used both her arms as a pillow, and tried falling asleep.

.... You're a cruel person, giving me all that Syn character development and hitting it spot on. It's like Tesla all over again!

As for Nanoha, I find it likely that she is so down, concidering the madness revolves around Vivio. I mean, we know Nanoha gets emo when things revolve around Vivio, we've even been shown that in the anime.

Something I'm thinking about, I think I can classify the differences in TAIS and CRASH's random events.

Take a scenerio with a single adjustable desk chair in an isolated room.

If TAIS sits in the chair, I'm pretty sure the chair will find some way to slip out from under him or topple unexpectedly.

If CRASH sits in the chair, nothing happens. HOWEVER... Upon finding the chair to be slightly uncomfortable, he'll reach down and grab the adjustment handle.
Now, with normal bad luck, you'd expect the handle to just snap. Not quite. Instead, the air canister that allows you to adjust the chair height will break at the connection point of the handle, causing the canister to depressurize instantly and the chair to settle/collapse under Crash. This in turn would trigger weaker components of the chair to break and snap, resulting in the chair seeming to just fall apart uncerimoniously.

Put these two in the same room together, and TAIS' luck would be the same. However, the resulting effect of that luck would push Crash's aptitude into motion, and trigger a chain reaction that would amplify the results of Tais' luck a hundred fold.


TAIS is a trigger, and Crash is an amplifier.

By himself, Crash is neutral. He destroys propperty, but it somehow never hurts anyone.

Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.

In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.

Amplifier? Ooh, the ideas that make their way into my head right now. Now this is an idea I really like.

… or at least, that’s what Asagi would want you to believe.

Asagi was born into the inner circle of wealth via parents Allen and Amelia Colwell, the 4th generation heads of Colwell Heavy Industries, one of the largest manufacturers of heavy industrial and commercial equipment and vehicles in Midchilda. As the only child, and with no male siblings forthcoming, Asagi became the sole heir to her family’s legacy; as such was raised with all the expectations of the day when she would take over responsibility for the multi-million dollar family business.

This decadent and secure lifestyle of preparation and study did not appeal to the young Asagi, who seemed to long for something more, a meaning and purpose to her life beyond the prospect of being heir to the family fortune. Eternally bored and hopelessly apathetic it seemed that she was doomed to a life of predictability and clockwork.

That meaning soon came knocking into her doorstep one day via a visit from her long-time friend Mayura Labatt, who had just returned with her family from a vacation on Earth, the 97th Administered World. Bearing gifts from her trip Mayura excitedly showed off her spoils to the normally uninterested Asagi, one of them being a DVD of an entire season of the live-action show “GoGo Sentai Boukenger” .

----------

“Even in this era, there are those that venture into unknown worlds.

They are called “Adventurers”.”

----------

It only took 25 minutes. But a burning passion had been ignited. And when she found out that this was only the tip of the iceberg, Asagi was hooked permanently.

Her obsession known as “Super Sentai” was born.

Endowed with the newly inspired values of Courage and Justice, Asagi aspired to become like the transforming heroes she idolized. It helped that she had innate magical aptitude, and had been a prominent figure in sports, particularly the swordsmanship known as “Kendo”. And so despite her parent’s misgivings, she enrolled into the Time Space Administration Bureau Cadet Academy along with her friends Mayura Labatt and Julie Liu Ming to train as Bureau mages at the age of 13.

By this time the events of the Book of Darkness case had accelerated the revival of Belka-style combat magic, and the three girls were chosen to partake in study under the now three-year-old experimental Class 0061-Q, the first batch of cadets to learn the discipline to be known as Neo-Belka. It was here that they displayed their uncanny prowess in close combat and martial arts. Asagi in particular was known as the best swordfighter of the class, and was even considered to be close to the league of known melee specialists like Fate Testarossa and the Wolkenritter Signum… if only she didn’t have a penchant for Super Sentai-inspired theatrics and drama, which earned her and her friends - now calling themselves the “Belkarangers” - equal parts amusement, frustration and disbelief amongst their peers and superiors.

The most memorable of these incidents was during their final live-fire obstacle course, when Asagi, Mayura and Julie performed a 2-minute long flashy transformation and roll call complete with lighting effects and fireworks… in the middle of combat with hundreds of training rounds and ordnance flying everywhere. Incredulously enough, the three girls not only managed to complete the course completely unscathed, but also nabbed the 2nd fastest time for the class, losing only by a couple of seconds to Cadet Glock Heckler.

------

Eyes rolled at the reading of the last part.

“You know what I’m gonna say about that Kay.”

“I didn’t say anything. See?”

With tongue in cheek, Kay continued typing.

-------

Nonetheless, Asagi, along with Mayura and Julie graduated with flying colors, and served under the 79th Ground Batallion under General Hiram Maxim’s command for 8 years, alongside squadmates Shinobu Nakajima, Darry Milfuelle, and underlings Remington Smith and Colt Wesson.

They were honorably discharged from service after their mandatory term ended in October MC0072 – only a few weeks before the 79th would be engaged in the “Hell Girl” incident, which would see the loss of many of their former comrades, including the devastating loss of close personal friend Shinobu Nakajima.

In memory of her fallen friend, Asagi has founded the Search Guard Successor Foundation (or S.G.S.), a secret privately-funded freelance organization working closely with the TSAB dedicated to searching for and cataloging Lost Logia (which Asagi refers to by the alternative term “Precious") in the hopes of preventing more Lost Logia incidents from happening. Recently the SGS once lent limited aid to the Bureau’s special taskforce Riot Force 6, providing anonymous tips and information regarding the location of various artifacts and Lost Logia.

Today, Asagi’s Belkarangers continue their hunt for Lost Logia, and fighting to prevent the valued artifacts from falling into the wrong hands… and looking cool, snip and awesome while doing so, in the spirit of the show long ago that changed her life forever.

-----------

Personality:

If there’s one word to describe Asagi, it would be this:

EXTREME

Asagi is a person who lets her emotions take over and run wild in a rampage once something ignites her passions, and for maximum effect nothing gets her passions burning more than a good dose of Super Sentai.

She’s a person whose emotions and feelings reach the limits of the emotional spectrum: in a single moment she can experience the highest of highs, then crash into the lowest depths of depression, then a minute later rebound into a ball of energy like the best thing in the world just happened. And once her mind has been set on a particular task at hand Asagi’s persistence to complete it borders on the unbelievable: much like trying to stop a speeding truck with your bare hands, Asagi’s stubbornness in completing what she started is impossible, lest one is willing to become Supermanto stop her. This stubbornness is legendary amongst everyone she meets, and especially her friends.

Along with these emotional highs Asagi has a flair for the dramatic bordering into the absurd. Given the choice between two equally effective plans in any situation, Asagi will choose the most direct method and transform it into the flashiest, most dramatic, most explosive operation ever complete with DYNAMIC ENTRY, HENSHIN, ROLL CALL and SPECIAL EFFECTS, and sparing no expense and pulling no punches in execution no matter how ludicrous the plan may sound on paper.

(Mayura and Julie call this the “Dynaman Syndrome”, aka “You can never have too many explosions”).

Thankfully her two friends refine her plans into a more sensible working draft before execution.

But full of energy doesn’t mean totally mindless: Asagi was raised as heir to a massive multi-million dollar industrial company built on technology, and as such has the smarts to participate in business and financially related matters, and when absolutely required she is able to play the role of the dainty, restrained and gentle young princess, graceful and elegant in manner and poise.

(It has been suggested that perhaps it’s the massive amounts of energy trapped and repressed when Asagi acts in such a manner that explains where her… explosive behavior afterwards.)

Still, for all her loud and rash behavior Asagi is surprisingly difficult to anger, perhaps due to the optimism she has acquired over the years, and her naturally forgiving nature (some have dubbed her the Goddess of Forgiveness for it). But as with everything she does, once her wrath has been released her fury shall not be sated until her grudge lies on the floor in the puddle of their own blood, preferably chopped up into tiny little pieces (Thankfully Mayura and Julie have prevented Asagi from progressing past the point of making the victim unrecognizable) – or she is appeased through a good showing of "MOERO RESCUE TAMASHII".

All this has stemmed from Asagi’s love of the show that defined her life: Super Sentai. She breathes, she eats, she sleeps, she dreams – in short, she LIVES Super Sentai. Her devotion to Super Sentai has sometimes bordered on the downright OBSESSIVE, like the infamous Shopping Spree of 2011 that left many a retailer on Japan several thousand dollars richer, store shelves empty, and has caused many less fortunate Super Sentai fans in much wailing and gnashing of teeth as stores waited to be restocked of their much beloved merchandise.

As is the case with many who are exposed to Japanese culture and are enamored by it, Asagi intersperses Japanese a lot into her speech, sometimes with unintelligible results. And one of Asagi’s pet peeves is in people bunching together Super Sentai with its Americanized counterpart Power Rangers, going out of her way to ‘educate’ people on the difference between the two franchises, and on how the latter is inferior to the origina-

-----

“Kay, what'd I tell you?"

“Sorry Glock… couldn’t resist.”

*backspace*

-----

… the two franchises.

Despite her many eccentricities (or perhaps because of it), Asagi is still well-loved by those closest to her, especially Mayura and Julie, and her unrelenting perseverance and determination has at least earned her the respect of many of her colleagues. Also, her unique brand of Super Sentai wisdom and energy has rubbed off a few people not only with Mayura and Julie, but most notably on the gunslinger pair Remington Smith and Colt Wesson, transforming them into the crack duo they are today.

Take a scenerio with a single adjustable desk chair in an isolated room.

If TAIS sits in the chair, I'm pretty sure the chair will find some way to slip out from under him or topple unexpectedly.

If CRASH sits in the chair, nothing happens. HOWEVER... Upon finding the chair to be slightly uncomfortable, he'll reach down and grab the adjustment handle.
Now, with normal bad luck, you'd expect the handle to just snap. Not quite. Instead, the air canister that allows you to adjust the chair height will break at the connection point of the handle, causing the canister to depressurize instantly and the chair to settle/collapse under Crash. This in turn would trigger weaker components of the chair to break and snap, resulting in the chair seeming to just fall apart uncerimoniously.

Put these two in the same room together, and TAIS' luck would be the same. However, the resulting effect of that luck would push Crash's aptitude into motion, and trigger a chain reaction that would amplify the results of Tais' luck a hundred fold.


TAIS is a trigger, and Crash is an amplifier.

By himself, Crash is neutral. He destroys propperty, but it somehow never hurts anyone.

Now, if we have someone with GOOD luck, perhaps that could be used to advantage. Have a moment of good luck that seems bad at the start, sends Crash into a trigger for a chain reaction, and watch as it saves their lives by bringing something down on an opponent they hadn't noticed.

In any scenerio case, the whole MOUSETRAP effect would be entertaining to watch. Pure comedy gold.

Not exactly. I think its a bit more different than that. Tais's bad luck is with living things while Crash's is with mechanical ones.

Taking the above example, putting Tais alone in a room does nothing while I think Crash would somehow break stuff. Putting them both together isn't a mousetrap effect, its more likely to be a domino effect where Tais would trigger Crash's bad luck who in turn would trigger Tais's. The end result would more like be (in the very absolute worst case scenario) total destruction of the building where the room is located and maximum embarrassment (and most likely some injuries) to everyone in the building. And both of them would be blamed.

Although the most likely thing that would happen (in my opinion) would be Crash breaking something in such a way which would somehow attract someone to the room and the conclusion that person would naturally make when looking in would be something perverse was going on, judging from the positions/situation the two are in.

Right, less talk, and more PROFILE TIME

And this first part is for the FIERY ADVENTURER

Spoiler for length:

*snips for length*

Next part, skills and abilities!!!!!

Some references to Gundam, Jigoku Shoujo, LOTR, Power Rangers, some gun names/brands as well as to some japanese things that I didn't get, but not so much to make it excessive or too banal.

In particular, the purely shameless, blatant and deadpan style of your tongue-in-cheek parody is very entertaining. I say this is pretty good...after all, every dog (or fodder character) should have their day. Looking forward to more of this stuff

PS: Have you got a character called Koch or Jackhammer, by any chance?

Part of me wants to hop into this creating business sometime soon, but I shall observe for now how things are done first for a bit, and take some pointers first before beginning

Spoiler for FYI...:

For those who are out of the loop, Fate had that disease with afflicts all clones born without blessing of the Naaru. In order to fix it, as part of Kha long fight against his destiny, he sacrificed the indomitable "Augen des Gottes", his only attack spell that really had bite and went through great lengths to "rebirth" Fate.

Needless to say, he succeeded. But losing that spell, and having stressed himself to near-unconciousness later almost cost him his life.

Like Mwu la Fllaga. Length of time spent "dead" included.

This is turning out really awesome.

Not that it matters. Kaempfer's dragonflight has several sisters, mothers and grandmothers to help out.

It's like a private army, if you look at the full family tree...

(And I hereby stage my comeback!)

Kaempfer's relatives wouldn't be starring in the upcoming Dragon Wars then by any chance?

In short... everything would still be Tais' fault, since he's the one affecting Crash?

You should, it's quite fun really

The only things you need to really remember when creating a character here is to not make them GODLIKE H4XX or anything like that (unless you're creating a villain), self-moderation is a virtue most sought after here Asides from that, GO CRAZY

And Welcome to the OC

Probably In any case, Tais's luck isn't THAT bad, if you look carefully, there is usually a silver lining somewhere to slightly offset his bad luck, although not necessary at him.

Welcome to the thread. The best way is for you to create one and we'll go over it. If its h4xx or something, we'll tell you what's wrong. Don't worry, we're prepared to chop it down to size if needed :P :evil gleam in eye:

Being at the wrong place, wrong time with a Luck ranking of F is pretty used for male characters in a comedic series, but it's hilarious, and that's what counts!

1. Clear all existing tasks in the way of OC life.
2. Create a character. Avoid h4xx (IMPERATIVE)

*sigh* Whats with all the sentai madness lately? I can't bear to to break all these backlog.

Am still kicking, but have been trying to adapt to working life this few weeks. To be honest, I don't think this job really works for me so I'm considering my options.

Anyway, seeing a lot of new people around. I'm lazy so I'll just say hi to all the newcomers. I'm the not very famous lurker. Have lots of pending stuff that I feel I think I'm on the verge of getting done. (mind you still got lack of ideas)

Seeing a lot of missing people. Any idea where FSZ, C2F, and Erio is?

[Liingo]

OTL..... not enough time to do much tonight... Hopefully I'll get to things tommorrow.. either that or the next night..

*wave* Welcome to the thread XD.

You've probably noticed already but it's a fairly friendly place in here. If you're looking for ideas, there's a whole bunch of character profiles listed on the very first page of the thread (post 5). I would normally link it, but I'm about ready to drop to sleep..

The thread has gotten slower in recent times, but you will ineveitably wake up to find pages of discussion so I hope you're ready for the backlog that can approach without warning Learning to read what's important for you is a good skill to develop, since there's normally a number of discussions going on at the same time.

Just keep in mind that you're making an OC for the Nanoha verse, so adjust accordingly for it's power rankings and we(the haxxbusters[I'm one]) won't be too fussed. What you do can affect what the rest of do in here( See phoenixflare and his OC pulling story) so having it relatively balanced just makes it easier for the rest of us to draw you into this seemingly cracktastic world of ours

Have fun, and I'll look forward to your OC, as well as the pretty pictures XD.

Edit: FA, Erio's gone off on some trip and should be back something this week. Not too sure about FSZ. And I think(could be wrong here) C2F has started NS...

Hope things turn out good for you, no matter what happens.

Ok, definately time for me to sleep... Night all.
