Anyway, a few pages back (uhhh...actually about 20 pages or so....), one of the members asked me to draw a full bodied sketch of Fate's Sonic EXA Form and her Plasma Form. So, here it is. This is the final design for the Plasma Form and Bardiche Delta Form. It looks quite different compared to the first version (for those of you who have seen it). XD
Full bodied sketch of Sonic EXA Form with Bardiche Haken Form: Spoiler:
Plasma Form and Bardiche Delta Form: Spoiler:
For Asclei, you could see Silvance's secondary form--Twin Blade Form. In here, you could also see the first form of his barrier jacket which is the Delta form. At the bottom, you could see Asclei in his barrier jacket secondary form--Levia Form. Some of you probably already know the special functions of the Levia Form. Spoiler:
Anyway, for those of you who saw my sketch of Fate performing a CPR to Asclei...you could say that event had some impact to Fate. Asclei in the other hand doesnt remember much about it. Spoiler:

Oh, forget it, Keroko. You are hopeless. I give up trying to explain. You are consistently misinterpreting what I say on the matter. In Comar's work, RF6 took on a number of roles that were previously held by several different units: several, not the entire TSAB. Those units which have had their jobs taken away would be very unhappy. RF6 showing other units that it can do special missions better would also create friction. Comar never said that RF6 was taking on every single mission of the TSAB. Heck if you want a more recent example, Task Force Ranger in Mogadishu, who were the subject of the book and movie Black Hawk Down. The young Ranger grunts were wowed by the Delta Force operators, much the same way RF6 wowed the TSAB grunts. Captain Steele, the Ranger commander, hated Delta Force, however. You know what? Forget it. It's pointless for me to continue. Your attitude right now is "I've made up my mind - don't confuse me with the facts." Quote:

@Comar: Interesting setup for Durandal. Will talk/discuss more when I get back later tonight. Heading in early for opening duties. Garh on the promotion fast track to Main Chair - aka Shift Controller for Stores and CSC. Main Chair's like the AWACS or Forward Air Controller of Domino's. @-Fate-: Nice job on the drawings.... I don't really like the wide cuffs on the sleeves though. They'd get in the way when she's swinging Bardiche around.

It's even replaced my mental image of Shin Sonic... The blade design of TBF, while the hilt is completely different, resembles Tausend Kreuz in Falchion mode, but I guess this coincidence came from solving the same design problem: making a sword that could fit together. Plasma form gave me lots of miko vibes (shape+sleeves me thinks ) and yes I have to agree the large cuffs look good, but may be rather intrusive. Also, theories say Fate's Impulse (or any heavier armor form) was used over Sonic because of her limiters restricting her ability to maintain highly energetic jackets, which is why once the limiters were removed, at the Riot 6 epilogue Fate henshins straight to Sonic. Probably just me, but because of this theory I find Fate having heavier armor after StrikerS a bit jarring. And at first it was vibes, now I'm getting it confirmed. It seems Fate is turning into a tsundere. And I believe the older members recall me saying that the "casting Fate as the older tsun onee-chan to Chrono" crack would be Kha's (and mine) ultimate fantasy... Also, could you help me draw something... ^^;;; EDIT: Once again, in case you missed it, Kha's latest profile (3rd Edition) can be found here. 4th Edition has left alpha testing and is entered into closed beta testing. Not long more... And the 5th Edition will probably come out after World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is released.

First off, I would like to extend my welcome to you, Welcome Mirron. Secondly, I'm not sure if you mentioned this before but would you be making an Alternate Universe or would you be following Canon? Finally, I thought Velka/Belka was more of the melee kind of magic while Mid was like the ranged kind O_O Something like Warrior and Magicians i suppose. For weapons i suggest swords, polearms, spears etc. all the melee weapons commonly used. Or maybe a knife might be intresting ^^

I'll try and follow canon as best I can. As for Velka magic, I was basically right. If you're curious, the current plan is a spear weapon with ice magic, probably named Gungnir, but I'm not sure what I can do for an alternate mode or two as far as a spear goes. Although there are lots of spear-like weapons in existence, I'm not sure I want to go with something too similar to the original form, simply because making it different than the basic form in terms of abilities will be difficult if they are similar designs.

[quote]Its more that I loathe chat programs with a fiery passion rather then being traditional. Main reasonis that I have a relatively low typing speed then most chatters, meaning that I usually can't get a word in between or otherwise have to correct myself because other people got ahead of me. -_- Its very demotivating, and quite honestly, I like the 'I'll post when I feel like posting' flow of a forum because I don't have to pay atention all the time. Definitely agree on that last point. Quote:
If we assume Knight's Armor really means our usual mental image of armor - you know, at least moderately hard stuff, its superior defensive properties against physical blows, all else being equal, is mandated by physics. The quote tells us more about Mid's warped conception of "armor" than anything else. Quote:

To select one consequence that matters to you, since there is no proof of tactical competence in the TSAB, we can't have any OCs with tactical competence. Say good-bye to Tesla, or rewrite her until she's as much of a dumba*s as the others. In fact, there are already more known RF6 haters than there are confirmed tactically competent people (at best, we have people who have not yet made total fools of themselves) ... There are also more known RF6 haters than there are users of "Aspect Magic" while we are at it... Get my drift? By the way, I won't call this one Miltaku, just realist. |

The public might still view them as heroes or super soldiers, but that's because most of the public is idiots where military matters are concern. People still celebrate Custer's Last Stand which is nothing but a tragedy of ego, overconfidence, and idiocy. Inside the military proper there standing is probably worse off for RF:6 people that knew and supported them will probably be able to see they where working under some artificial handicaps, but even so there performance was merely passable not stellar.

If you’re going to be attacked with an edged weapon, bullets, or high intensity directed energy weapons though a BJ is not effective protection. This is shown over and over by mages always either dodging, intercepting, or using barriers against even the fairly low level conventional weapons used by drones and the TOTAL worthlessness of the jacket against a bladed weapon as shown by the attack on Vita (and Nanoha herself several years earlier). Also by "magical defense" I meant protection against glowly energy bolts and such not your asinine "invisible force feild of power" crap. Quote:

The best we can do is take a look at how the people in that anime act, and then extrapolate from there. Which, in turn, depends on how idealistic/cynical you want to be. After all, take a look at Card Captor Sakura, which is indeed an anime (set in the present day) about people, and then start listing the differences between the character interactions there and the character interactions in Real Life. If it can happen with one anime, it can happen with others, including MSLN. |

Wow!! Very nice!!!!!! XD Very well done! Although the wide cuffs, that does seem quite impractical, considering that it'll more than likely just be a hindrance to Fate's combat abilities. Despite the sex appeal the barrier jackets had, they were still designed for functionality. At least from what I could tell based on the way the Garb/Armour/Jackets were designed anyways.

The instant Regius has entered the picture, the writers has broadened the scope of potential human interaction beyond skittles and marshmallows. They have shown that, yes, there are people and camarillas in the TSAB who dislike the Aces, or even RF6, for whatever reason. And parallels can be drawn from not just real life but also in many works of fiction, like Legend of Galactic Heroes, X-Files or even House. If you guys thought that Regius is a dick, I think he is just a tree in the forrest; the possibility that Fate can be framed by the TSAB equivalent of Internal Affairs, that Hayate can be backstabbed by hidden factions for petty reasons, etc, is still up in the air. And should not be denied with "hey, it's just a magical girl show". If Nanoha S1 & S2 is your naive child, StrikerS is your teenager discovering the cruelty of adult world.

Thank you Saint for the latter answer, and I'm glad I'm not alone in the Velka department. On CCS, I did know it had lots of overpowered abilities, but I tend to not think about it. As for my character, spears are what I decided on, and I'm probably going to do an extended mode, akin to Vita's giant mode, and some other mode, although what I'm not sure. I'll need to think about it still. And I might take even longer to get to this character due to the lack of time I have online.

However, I'd like to write a StrikerS story from the viewpoint that in the end, Everything Will Be All Right. Idealistic, optimistic, and, as mentioned, "skittles and marshmallows".
I believe that I have the right to do this and not be criticized for it, because I don't think that it factually contradicts canon. If it does, please let me know, with detailed cited sources. |

'Mokay, a bit too many people dived into my posts to quote them.
To sum up: My biggest problem with the 'higher-ups would hate RF6' is the contradiction that apears in my eyes with the treatment the Aces recieved in the past. Being elite mages, they were praised and recieved promotions because of their elite status. If everyone, including the higher ranks (who gave them those promotions) 'loved' the Aces like that, why would that suddenly turn into resentment when they join one unit? That's what I don't understand about this in a nutshell. *dives into backlog* |

But do not forget, that despite the majority of them may love the aces, there will always be people who do not think like the majority. It's like a vote. Oh sure a lot of people has voted for one thing, but there is always that small percentage of people who do not support that one thing the majority has voted. It could be because they just don't like it, or maybe because they think it's something that shouldn't even be there in the first place, or is something that is ruining the "status quo" so to speak. Then look at it at the level of peers. Oh sure, they may be number one on the block, loved by many. But never, never in human nature, will those people be loved by all. We can claim it to be so, because it's the majority. But there will always be people who hate them for what they are good at. It's natural to dislike or despise a peer that's better than you. It's just human nature. That is the issue of this argument. Despite it being a Magical Girl anime, there is still aspects of human nature that we just cannot ignore that is integrated into the series. We do that, and then it just becomes an ideal anime that doesn't follow the what has been established so far in anime.
