Booklet translations
レリックウェポン - Relic Weapon Details are still unclear at this point. The only pieces that can be confirmed are "a Lost Logia with an unclear purpose," and "a doctor engaged in physical modification." 竜魂召喚 - Dragon Soul Summon Fried, Caro's contracted dragon, normally accompanies Caro in a small form, but through a "Dragon Soul Summon" Fried can revert to its natural form. To have an enormous summoned beast with them, and to have the power of their natural forms ready at all times, Soul Summoning can be said to be an indispensable spell for summoners who normally have a summoned beast accompany them; however, because it is an advanced spell, the number of practitioners is small, even among summoners. Fried's natural form is a rare "flying dragon" from the Alzus territory. Fried can fly through the air with Caro on its back, breathing flames. 出力リミッター/能力限定 - Output Limiter / Ability restriction The set total number of mage ranks within each unit is basically an ambiguous standard, depending on connections or left to the whims of a Human Resources officer, which is used to prevent any particular unit from amassing powerful mages. Unlike equipment, this measurement can fluctuate (mage ranks can go up or down depending on examinations and updates). Since "Rank = the level of ability" is not true, these Limiter settings can be used to accommodate the rank restrictions to some extent, and there is an tacit understanding of this loophole. Limiters for high ranking mages normally restrict only output, and can only be released in extreme situations after receiving approval. This is similar to how a normal organization is restricted from carrying excessive weaponry during normal missions, only using such equipment in times of emergency. レリック - Relic A Lost Logia categorized as Dangerous. Up to now, their true purpose is unknown; however the existance of "someone" using Gadgets to collect them is the provisional basis for the creation of Riot Force 6. 聖王教会 - Saint Church A world religion, boasting the longest reach in the Interdimensional World. A religion with a history continuing since Ancient Belkan times, the "Saint King" of Ancient Belka received his calling as a prophet, and "the Saint Movement" was established to spread these teachings. Afterwords, since the Saint King accomplished great achievements time and again, in the present day the Saint King himself has become the idol of the belief. Even though there are some small differences in creed on different worlds or territories, compared to other religions "the Saint Movement" is relatively liberal, and because of that there are many believers. In many scenic areas, the churches are also well known sight-seeing stops due to their beauty. The Grand Cathedral in the Belka Self-Governing Region is especially well known for this reason, and so is a popular location for weddings among young people, such as Fate and Nanoha (Just kidding) I had Saint-ism instead of the Saint Movement at first, but that was just too weird for humbug. Anyone have any other suggestions for 聖王教? Woohoo, booklet tl suggestion backlog cleared. Any requests?

Thanks a lot, selkirk. Those translations are much appreciated. Saint Church sounds a little by Islam from the prophet to the movement get go. Movement seems to be the most appropriate term in the context, since religion-wise, there are little words that can be used appropriately.
*jots down stuff...wedding, pasta, religion...* As for the vague stuff... should had known. Since you've already accommodated to my request in record time too, I'll leave others for request.

Saintology? How about Haruhism, since we're talking about God Empresses here?

Somehow though, not too sure on the idea of an RP thread, too demanding. Having been involved in Forum RP's before, it's a pain when one or more important members hang up, leaving you to dry
On topic... *jots down notes on Saint Church and Mage Ranks*

I've seen people RPing Nanoha here and there.
The Church reminds me of Christianity more than anything else, with the bit about the prophet-figure becoming the object of worship. "Fellowship of the Saint-King' has a nice egalitarian feel, 'Order' if you want to harken back to the Belkan roots. Anyone else still lol at that shot of all of Belka's high-tech weapons amidst its crenellated walls? I'm still wondering how the Knights integrated with the normal military... if they did at all. If they were all like the Wolkenritter and focused on serving a single lord or cause rather than a state I'd think they'd be a real source of instability- there'd be a whole feudal shadow government, or at least power structure, that existed within what seems to have been a reasonably 'modern' society, architectual stylings aside. This info stuff is really great, btw. *goes back to read thread* |

The Sei-Ou sounds a lot like Moses or the Prophet Muhammad, but the movement is definitely similar to Christianity. It's possible then, that the Sei-Ou himself was a member of a more ancient faith, just like Jesus himself. A next question would be how this man eventually became the idol of the religion named after him. Either his followers worshipped him to the point of deifying him (regardless of what he himself thought), or he let his success get into his head and proclaimed himself as a God, just like what all the fake Messiahs throughout our own history has done. Spoiler for Thoughts for the OC thread?:

But this is one theory that began with the YnS' Belka Cross I saw in A's, and got unbelievably verified in StrikerS. Your's can hold as well.

[Mariel]Eh-EEEEEEEH?! [/Mariel]
I heard that from a translation of the time the Doc was explaining stuff to the numbers while they are heading out to their different deployment zones, where Sein is seen to have doubts. I think that was the time where I think I got this info from. What did he say then?
