How I view the fall of Belka: - Until then, they were viewed as invincible until a sound defeat that made crumble the myth of the invincibility of Belkan armies. - Belka has stretched over a large number of territories, to the point that the resources allocated to law and administration has stretched thin, forcing Belka to give more power to native populations of conquered territories. - Mentionned populations start to make secession, this is especially true on the borders of the Empire where its hold is the weakest. - Unwelcomed disasters, like bad harvest for the agriculture sector, strikes from workers in the industry, and the natural disasters (earthquake, meteor fall, you name it) has make the faith and trust of the population in the emperor crumble. - Noblemen and generals want their part in the political and military power cakes and likely staged a coup in various occasions. - Then there are this war that has brought the empire to its knees, and made it history.

Na my anime watching is acutally quite limited and specific if it lacks pretty strong sci-fi elements the chances I've seen it are pretty poor; though they improve slightly if it's a comedy, but then plummets again if it has lots of angst.

@Sheba:
Kusarigama sounds like too much work for me to have figure out how to describe how the thing works. Like the sword/gun picture though @Keroko: Wouldn't the sword need a core since its a separate device? I wasn't sure if a device was capable of being split into two separate forms; we've seen a device split into two of the same weapon (Riot Zamber) but I'm not sure if it could sustain two separate forms.

So far I've trimmed it to 2 WarFishes and 1 RailHead, and loaded up on 2-man Broadside teams, plus a Pathfinder squad for pining and Markelights. Reorganizing my Tau FWs too, and debating Seeker upgrades. At this level though, I realized that 1500 points is actually very small... Quote:

The very line from the DVD booklet that the faith of Saint Church is very liberal plays completely to this idea. However, yes I know the Heresy thing was glaring. That's why I want to look at what Keroko is doing for Fall of the Empire and work from there. There may or may not be a Heresy; as of the latest, the only concrete thing I've said in the latest codex is that Sankt Kaiser and her Knights were wiped out fighting for humanity, and the effort to re-establish them comes from both Kha's knowledge that something is coming, and the Church Council wanting more political power, for better or for worse. Feel free to debate the latter point; I got that idea off how Singapore first got off the floor. Whether it'll also lead to an independent Belka is far off and riddled with minefields, so I can only say wait and see. Quote:
Also, Kha changed much of the monastic doctrine into a more liberal interpretation, just like what the Sankt Kaiser movement canonically did for the New Testament, which was already very liberal for a holy script. WH40K vets look at the Cleric-Knights and go "WTF are these even Grey Knights? These guys are pansy!" And to that end, it shows that I've succeeded in making them fit into Nanoha. Quote:

See, I was gonna make a GL-based character, Spiral and all, but figured you guys might take exception. We can reign in hot blood! Quote:
Point A: Yes, it's gonna be hard to fight with a swallow, or any other dual-bladed weapon. Darth Maul probably didn't pick it up in a day either. Looks damn cool if you're skilled with it, though. Point B and C: Here's where it gets awkward. I had an idea once to make a pair of Devices that were separate entities but had a unified AI. Why not try a dual-core Device? A cartridge chamber and core on each blade? Two separate AIs that work with a single Device? Yes, it's unusual, but I think it has merit. Note that I'll likely try this system out myself, assuming it doesn't get shot down. Quote:

Okay, full scale assault, all the Shock Enforcers and their commander in one shot...
Spoiler for Shock Enforcers:
I tore Lynn's history down and worked off a Mishima base instead. She starts out typical, but ends up in a seriously screwed up mission, and blames her own weakness for it, and developes her drive and determination. Mishima takes that and in turn teaches her his hard learned tricks and forges a strong mage out of her. I've scrapped half the Lind power concepts and I'm just going to ignore cool and spear mint until some later date. Right now she's just Lynn. As for the rest, I did Alexander's profile today, and did the check on Abby's to take care of the minor problem. Incidently, in Gray's profile, they managed to get a photo of him just after he finished showing off for a cute girl... They figured that was a more accurate portrayal of his face... |

Well, choosing the right colors for the clothes is important, you have to take the character's traits into account. I've seen artwork scans of game/anime characters before their appearance and colors were decided, some did look cool, but others were just plain wierd >_> Gundam 00 reference...the "Trans Arm" or whatever it is named It makes the Gundam glow red and drastically increases its speed. *runs*

I know, I know. He's seemingly way different from the cocky and confident Grandis that we all knew from the past. But I just had to do this. I felt something missing every time I reread Grandis' old profile. And I found out that 'I wanted to do something very different'. The old Grandis was likeable, sure. But there was a degenerancy with him that bugged me. Like with Aurion, I intend to completely break apart the common character mold and even some of the tropes in order to get a result as uniquely my own as possible! And so, Ohji Grandis came to be. How often does the non-hotblooded cool guy get the main girl? Don't worry, he's just more (MUCH more) refined now. The interactions with Hayate later on will still entail the same roguish flair. And I'd have to apologize in advance if anybody is planning or my have already written anything that involves an "Ore" Grandis. This is how he is now. And I intend to make him as likeable a character as possible! Oh. And making HayateXGrandis a success is a must too. >< Comments? He's much, MUCH less HAXX now compared to the old version. Though I'm open to some more suggestions. Thanks in advance. EDIT: Added pic.:3

BTW, the "red goes 3 times faster" thing is a nod to Char Aznable of the original MS Gundam. G00 is just the latest to use a variation. |

Well think about all the armed devices you see in A's and StrikerS.
Levantine? No core. Closest thing might be that dull gray orb in the crossguard. Graf Eisen? Might be the ball between the two hammer heads, but no obvious core here either. Revolver Knuckle? No core. Schwertkreuz? No core. Heck, no AI as far as I can tell. Strada? Nada. The absence of the AI core might be what makes Armed Devices so much sturdier than other devices, and hence able to utilize the cartridge system more easily.
