Well, there'd have to be a good reason for the secrecy. We can rule out male-dominated countries (probably STILL the United Arab Emirates) because they'll be the first to jump out and lay claim to having a male IS pilot (and then justify it as men being superior to women). A corporation or Intelligence agency may be more likely, and it would have to be circumstances wherein keeping this secret is more important than the potential rewards.
The reasoning for why he can use an IS should be sound, because to date there's no definitive word on why Ichika can pilot an IS short of he's Chifuyu's brother and that maybe (just maybe) Tabane might have done more than she admits to the system to allow him access. Also note that there's probably no shortage of fic ideas about male IS users, so if you're going to write it it better be original yet plausible. Genetics is the obvious one (being related to the Orimuras or the Shinononos). Why not get someone with physical deformity or some sort of condition wherein he can't function at all without an IS or similar exoframe? Kind of like Stephen Hawking---maybe even write it that Tabane (out of pity or even just for shits and giggles) let him have access to an IS, but he's unable to function without it? Another possibility: http://ironman.wikia.com/wiki/NTU-150_Armor

- Thus why I said "Obvious".
Why do you think my fic has a female character who CAN'T pilot an IS (and gets her ass whooped by a side character in an IS)? At the time I started, everyone else was going the obvious path.

It's not really that good. And I'm at the stage that I'll be glad when I'm finished writing it, since it's stressing me out intensely.

Gents, please, I'm not propagating male IS users to be superior or some shit. All I had in mind was a story whereby there is a male pilot that precedes Ichika but was never made known to the world. In other words, he doesn't get thrown into ISA and starts robbing girls' hearts. His very existence is known within a small development team.
Think about it, the implications of his ability being made known would throw the world into a frenzied manhunt. Unlike Ichika, he doesn't have the luck to be protected by a neutral nation. Of course, circumstances can vary. Said character may not even be involved in anything grand and flashy like our CCs are in, probably something small, out of world and probably ending up with that male pilot either dying or disappearing for good.

It would be a summer day in Australia that I would find myself writing about winter in the north of Japan and struggling to keep up with it.

I wonder how easily is it for this world to be swayed by the media - considering what they've done. If overflowing the channels with glorified images of IS is a part of the Plan, then would a single line of critic on IS division, ISA, IS Governmental Bodies,... would paint you a target for the media moguls? |

How do I do the thing where you guys write part of a story you write. Like what wave hawk did. I have something that I want your opinion on. Last edited by coco6561; 2015-01-26 at 09:17. |

Luckily, there is an easy method: start throwing ideas around in your head until they stick. Then, if it has the faintest tint of "American from hugely dark and complex past (or no past) is second male IS pilot / ERMAHGURD I WANT TO SELF INSERT" obliterate it from your mind and thought process. It worked for me... eventually.
Also, wavehawk, I can see why you are having trouble writing about a cold setting when it's warm. I have the exact opposite problem, i.e. I'm trying to write about the middle of August at ISA while there's a thick layer of ice on the roads.

The two main reasons I'm writing the finale in a blizzard area is because: 1.) I wanted to draw a difference between IS Academy (summertime, lots of fun, happiness) and Hokkaido (wintertime, life-threatening danger, utter misery) 2.) It's also a nod to Greg Rucka's Graphic Novel Whiteout The comic, not the movie). Strongly recommend you guys pick it up and read it. Not a superhero comic, more detective thriller. And also why my jokes tend to be so sarcastic in actual writing: http://www.gregrucka.com/wp/wp-conte...iteout-pg3.jpg - Actually Spear--the Pretender angle might actually work. Instead of someone who just happens to have the ability to pilot IS, you have a character who's a master impostor--someone who can (in a very short span of time) be able to learn and apply skills and talents that he had no knowledge of just prior. He's a different kind of genius, originally groomed to become the ultimate spy...then he does the unexpected: he somehow 'learns' to pilot an IS. Obviously this is earth-shattering, because if the ability to pilot an IS is a -Learnable Skill- as opposed to a -Genetic Requirement-...that means a lot of people will want to pick his brain and figure out how he did it. And since he was initially intended to do black ops work, no government or company will ever admit responsibility for him. And since he's an impostor, he has no real identity: EG legally speaking he's not a 'Person' with human rights under law, so the organization can do whatever they want with him.

This reminds me I've yet to explain how this Mr Hero character I borrowed from Erastas can fly an IS. I simply added him as a side character and a complete anomaly that has the people he encounter baffled.
