Fuck.

I was in such a hurry to rant and rave, I mixed them up again. Woe is me.

Oh well.

As for the gondola, the series is named Aria, but you'd have to ask Saint X more about it. All I got's a name.

@Saint X: What's this WIP you've got going?

Basically, it is an attempt to incorporate the Fate Stay Night story into the Nanohaverse, but made such that it develops Sophia's character, and has ramifications for the future of Belka.

The Pilgrim Duels is an old, recently revived but illegal tournament held to commemorate the greatest hero of the time. In the old days, the Duels were held by the Belka Clergy who kept watch over the Tome of Devotion which did the recording of the Hero's Linker Core and thus strengthened itself. The Hero himself had one of his wishes granted, and as always that wish would bring great prosperity to the land, as only the purest of hearts could win the Duels.

During the chaos of the Belka Implosion, the Convent rescued the only Tome of power they could find and hid it deep within the Sankt Alexei Vault, along with all the Ancient Belka devices, technologies, scriptures they could find.

Years ago, a group calling themselves the Opel Magi managed to steal the Tome of Devotion during the sacking of Renault years ago, the fire that killed every person that Kha knew, and turned him into the Cleric. However, that book was surprisingly incomplete, lacking over 330+ pages. In order to complete the book, they revived the Pilgrim Duels, but without proper supervision the games went out of hand, and the first games ended up in the almost complete destruction of an Outer World.

Kha had the missing pages, craved out when he came into contact with the Tome. After hearing of the games 1 year before meeting Hayate, Kha vowed to stop the thieves when they resurfaced again.

However, Sophia, both weighed down by her father's wish to revive the Games and participate as well as her heart broken by Kha choosing Fate over her, has other plans...

Thus begins the events of Nanoha/Cente Gravia.

Spoiler for Something like this:

"So how did it happen anyway?" Fate was the picture of innocence as always, added in with a dash of confusion this time.

"Well Shamal had to remove the transformation spell placed on Signum for a mission but she was talking to me while doing so and she ended up being a tad heavy-handed while performing the spell."

"And to think it actually manage to transform Signum into that form. What a thing to happen." Fate's expression of helplessness was apt for the situation they were talking about right now.

"Well, personally I don't think it's too much of a bad thing. The effect shouldn't be permanent and probably won't hinder Signum from performing her duties at all. In fact, she might loosen up for a bit."

"Really? How is that so?"

Hayate managed a short giggle before continuing. "Well she even asked for a sparing session with Erio-kun since she got back.."

"Oh. Lets go check on them Hayate-chan? I'm worried the two of them might be going at it too seriously with Signum in her current form and Erio eager for more practice."

"Let's just take a quick peek since it's around the corner then shall we?"

As they approached the training room, it was clear that Signum was..well slightly more enthusiastic than usual.

"Going easy on me just because I'm in this form? Come harder at me Erio!"

"Erm..no! I mean yes! I mean..I'm coming Signum-san!"

What Fate and Hayate heard next was a jumble of shouts and thuds. Curiously, a streak of red light zipped past them at that time.

"Hehe that'll teach that red-headed kid not to underestimate Signum!"

Fearing that Agito's prank had backfired on the sparring duo, the two hurried into the room.

"Erio! Signum! Are you two all right?" Fate's panicked call as she stopped at the door to check on them.

What greeted them wasn't too bad in some ways, and yet worst in others.

Strada and Levantine were strewn a good distance from them while the two in question was framed in the center by Fate's view from the doorway. Though the two's position did leave some good doubts about what had happened.

Signum's hair was undone, the ribbon normally holding it in place gone, leaving her flowing pink hair to cascade down over the sides of her shoulders and onto the floor, over her sitting position on top of her prone sparring partner.

Erio meanwhile struggled for air as he found himself pinned by Signum in two places. While Signum did appear younger, her assets were still respectable and still managed to suffocate Erio under them. Though this was nothing as Erio managed to push his face out of them and the pink hair surrounding his head to a much more embarrassing situation.

Signum was sitting onto of his waist while he had lied flat down on the floor with his arms around her waist.

Turning to face the visitors, their response was expected. Well not quite.

"Ah Hayate. And Testarossa. What brings you two here?"

"Ohh! Hayate-san! Fate-san too! This is a mistake! I-!"

"Isn't this too much for relaxing Hayate-chan?!"

Fate was beside herself while Hayate poured lots of oil onto the fire.

"Well Erio-kun is a boy and he is going to be at that age soon but I didn't expect Signum to reciprocate in kind that daringly.."

And what's this?

Spoiler for Omake!:

"Ohh! Hayate-san! Fate-san too! This is a mistake! I-!"

"Say no more Erio. I understand your situation perfectly."

"What? No! This isn't what it looks like! I just thought Signum-san would be a better person to practice with since you're always so busy..!"

"I had expected you to come find me for this kind of things Erio. Does this mean you do not trust me? Truly I'm disappointed."

"I'm sorry! I'll accept any punishment you'll mete out. Just forgive me please!"

"Well that would depend entirely on you whether I'll forgive you.."

"I'll do my best so please!"

"You'll do well with this kind of spirit." Fate said her hands went to Erio's chest and placed her face close to his, very very close. Fate's eyes were expanding Erio from within, and not mentioning the effect her breath was having on him as well.

A jolt came to Erio's mind as Fate's hand went lower. Much, much more lower.

"Huh?! What's this about Fate-san?"

"You wanted to learn about women and so I'm going to teach you.."

"Wait wait wait! That wasn't I meant! I-!"

"This will not do." Signum was a face of serious business as she cut in.

"And why is that?" Fate stopped mid-way though cuddling Erio.

For a moment, Erio thought he found his salvation. Well it depends, with what Signum had to say next.

"He came under my tutelage for this session first and I will not relinquish this claim. Even to you Testarossa. What he desires to learn, I shall be the one to teach first."

"WHAAAAAT?!"

"Mou, Signum. Erio is mine to begin with in the first place."

"That does not matter. I shall be the one to teach him anyway."

Erio looked towards his final hope of salvation.

"Looks like everyone's going to have fun with this. I still have some reports to wrap up so I'll have to leave first. Be sure to submit a report about what you learnt later alright Erio-kun? Ja-ne!" Hayate winked as she went out the door.

Which turns out he had none in the first place, leaving him to fend for himself.

"Erio." Signum's younger face was sorely testing his defenses.

"Erio.." Fate's face was inching ever closer to his..

"TASUKETE! AHHHHHHHHH!"

***

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-ompfh!"

Erio found his face, thankfully, to be neither in contact with Signum's nor Fate's but the cool hard surface of his room.

Realizing he had rolled out of bed, Erio heaved a great sigh. He had managed to solve the highly embarrassing situation earlier today but what was with the dream he just had?

Shaking his head and crawling back to bed, Erio swore he would stay off any more 'picture books' Chrono or Vice had to offer in the future.

Okay what the hell did I just write?

*RUNS*

...truth?

To think I was writing the section where we compare how similar Kha and Erio are, and another seems to be getting themselves in misunderstandable situations.

*BACK-FLIPS*

- Since ghadz wanted to arrest the OC for disturbing the peace, might as well do a bit of "intervention" the only thing i can think of was Virtue-tan erasing something...

Yup... the OC is scary...

Whether we come back again or not, it depends on you... </Setsuna>

Aqua and Aria by Amano Kozue...

lolx i watched someone do Bridget in Timezone and in record time lol

[AdmiralTigerclaw]

While I'm waiting for confirmation on possible feasability on the question posted last. Read up on everyone's Power Armor concerns.

First thing. I'm keeping the powered armor. It was designed by a robot fanatic (Cooper) after all.

BUT, I'm going to seriously attack and retcon right here, right now, and try and get it out of the way for good. So let the NERFing begin. *Gets out NERF Longshot.*

Spoiler for Breakdown:

Starting with the (Rejected for HAXX) Prototype. (Battery Device first armor)
Contains the following weapons modes:
- A rifle mode with two firing rates, single and automatic.
- A Powerful concentrated heavy magic sniper rifle. (Lance Rifle)
- A rotary cannon with the ability to fire a homing missile styled attack.
- An artillery mode with two types of attack. A Low power rapid shot Bofors level, and an indirect fire MIRV artillery cannon mode as its Finishing Move.

The Armor has two inbuilt configurations.
- Ground Armor
- Air Superiority

And the following special abilities.
Super strength (physical)
MACH strafe
Howler Flare
Supercruise.
Adv. Long Range sensors.

All this combined as one unit is considered HAXX. I have argued as stubbornly as I could but have lost, and now must capitulate to demands. So I will break the armor into mission specific areas.

To retcon the issue, the Prototype armor (ASSAULT BATTERY PLATFORM or ABP, who's original device is known as BATTERY, and it's core AI system in possession of Crash.) will remain, but was deemed by review to be too costly, and too unwieldy for less than excelent mages. (The target group.) It has been put into mothball as a refference system for the new armor configurations.

Cooper, as a Robot fanatic, just does not want to drop it, and has decided to split the system.

The New system will contain three forms of the Armor that have yet to be tested, but are mission modular.

Adrenus (After monster 'adrenaline' rush)
Olympian (After mega athletes and the Olympics)
Sorin (Mutated word for Soaring, as of Soaring through the skies.)

Each one covers an area with limitations to remove HAX. (Some adjusting may still be required.)

ADRENUS:
TYPE: Berserker
Adrenus Armor has the express purpose of turning any mage using it into a magical sledgehammer. Adrenus armor consists of the heaviest plating. (Chobham Armor Composite.) The Grav. Drive has been removed, and the system focused on heavy attack and defense. The Paladin GRAND artillery weaponry has been set for the Adrenus, it uses only heavy attacks, meant to bulldoze entrenched positions from the ground.

It will contain the maximum defenses, the magic booster system similar to blaster, as well as magnified barriers. It has the Paladin GRAND attack device, capable of combat fire at a sustained rate during the 'sprint period'. (See Below) But can still be fired with longer charge and recovery times during limited mode.

Its drawbacks are lack of air mobility, and maximum power run-time. The armor can operate indefinately, but mages can only utilize maximum power amping for very short sprint periods, known as SPRINT TIME. (Do not confuse with Sprint Minutes... This is NOT a Cell Phone.)

It's status is still BEING REBUILT (Ask Cooper). And not tested, or approved for mass production.


Abilities: HEAVY armor, MASSIVE physical strength, HEAVY Barrier, HEAVY attack VIA Paladin GRAND , Iron Howl for emergencies.


OLYMPIAN:
This is the current armor configuration for crash. It is the general purpose armor for use as an augment to sustain a mage during the battle. IT emphisizes efficiency and ability management with a slight 'jack of all trades' focus (Or lack there of.) to better deal with rapidly changing situations.

It still retains augmented physical strength, but has a focus on attacking targets at range and speed. The armor is lighter than the Adrenus which makes it move more fluid on the ground, but is still heavy. This armor is equipped with the Grav. Drive to allow it to fly, but it manuevers about as well as a fighter jet. Luckly, it retains the speed of a fighter jet and then some.
To deal with finding targets at range, a stripped down passive sensor system that was originally put into the ABP is equipped, as well as a conventional short range active target analysis system normal to most devices.
It is armed with the rifle mode, as well as the Lance Rifle, and the Rotary cannon is removed... It has the MACH STRAFE ability equipped for emergency manuevers, and Howler Flares for countermeasures.

To propperly maintain function, this armor has emphasis on the M.A.D. Management susbsystem, which manages regular and magical energy in the armor to one of three tasks. Mobility, Attack, Defense.

It's drawbacks are its lack of heavy specialization in power or mobility. It's spammable weapons are innaccurate and it has no homing magics. Only in skilled or experienced hands can the armor live up to fuller potential. (Only in skilled hands can the tradeoffs of MAD be managed well enough.)

Status is TEST PHASE (Retrofitted by Cooper from Original ABP Armor into Crash's current configuration.).

Abilities: Shot rifle (single and rapid), Lance Rifle, MACH Strafe, Howler Flares. Medium Defense OR Medium Offense OR Medium Mobility (At any one time.)

SPECIAL: Conventional armament can be switched out for express use of the Paladin Grand, or the Cerberus/Bloodhound combat systems. Depending on mission status.

SORIN

Sorin armor removes the HEAVY from the heavy armor. With only strength to match a physically fit person, going with only light composites only making it moderately tougher than normal barrier jackets. Emphasis is on maximum speed, and Agility at the expense of both power and defense. One may ask, why armor at all? The answer is limiting the magic directed towards creating barriers to protect against mere atmospheric side effects as well as maintaining safe air levels at high altitude, or even space itself, leaving more magic for managing speed and manuevering.

Much of the sensor suite from the original ABP armor was emphisized here, putting importance on detecting and engaging the enemy strictly on the mage's own terms. The Grav Drive is used more extensively, as well as the Mach Strafe and the Bunny Hop (Multiple Hop Mach Strafe up to four rapid consecutive MACH stafes... Yet to be tested.)

The Rotary Cannon is strictly used here, and it has a beefed up version of the old BloodHound Breaker, given improved standoff ranges, and a 'finisher' mode of the attack with shorter range called Bloodhound Pack (taking a considerable amount of time to ready) that fires a three round shot.

Disadvantages are lack of effective defense outside manuevering, lack of stopping power (Outside of having enough time for a Bloodhound Pack.) Very iffy melee abilities with no melee weapons, and only a strength level matching a fit person.

Abilities: Max Speed sustainable at high mach number (4), cerberus, Bloodhound Breaker (and BB Extended), Bloodhound Pack. MACH Strafe, Bunny Hop (Untested), howler flares.

Okay, Nitpick away.

Rebuilt of Signum

Spoiler for Signum, Servant Archer:

Signum, Servant Archer

Signum (シグナム), voiced by Kaori Shimizu, is a character in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's. She is the leader of the Wolkenritter (German > "Cloud Riders" or "Overcast Knights"), a creation of the Book of Darkness. She is generally seen as the cold one, but Shamal has said that Signum's heart has warmed since they met their mistress Hayate Yagami. Signum's weapon is a chain-link sword called Laevatein, and as a magical creation, she has no familiar. She is named for the Opel Signum, much like characters of Magic Knight Rayearth are named for cars, and her device appears to be named after the mythical sword Laevateinn, but due to the spelling it might be a homage to the fiery Armor Slave Laevantine.

Like Vita, Signum’s life before becoming part of the Book of Darkness is a blur. And even more so, as she only recalls being in service to the same princess as the other Wolkies with no recollection of her earlier life, and she sometimes feels that it is all the result of a case of double amnesia. And that feeling of loss sometimes changes to a sense of being in waiting; it’s as if whoever she once was is still looking for something.

Each of the Wolkenritter has had dreams of snippets from their days as the living, and Signum is no exception. But as the leader of the Guardian Knights, she hides it all to be the pillar of strength of the group, only indulging in them when she is alone, letting a surprisingly soft side, almost reminiscent of Caro’s childish innocence (), show...

Also, Signum finds Erio strangely familiar, and in trying to beat the deja vu from her mind forgot to return Erio's salute.

()

Road to StrikerS

In Nanoha/Cente Gravia, the Wolkies faced their hardest challenge in protecting Hayate, when she became the unfortunate target of 3 Servants and their Meisters. Despite successfully defeating the Servants, Signum, Vita and Tesla were mortally wounded, with Zafira and Shamal not that far from the edge either. Seizing the chance, another servant Assassin took advantage of the now defenceless girl. Vita, together with Signum and Tesla, wished for one more chance at any price, and the Tome of the Night Sky gave them that wish, bringing the Knights back as replacements for the Servants they defeated. Assassin was forced to make a hasty retreat.

However, the brief battle drained what little mana Vita, Tesla and Signum had, and they collapsed again.

Later rescued by Marge and her team, Signum returned canonized as Servant Archer, and had advanced cybernetics that reinforced her Valsaiga program body, making her attain an almost superhuman level of toughness. She later withstood two simultaneous attacks from both Dios and another of his masked allies, and still came out just minimally wounded, despite both men being powerful mages and claiming that they hit her deeply.

However, she is remains oddly vulnerable through other means, such as being drugged or passing out from ingesting food or drinks, such as Shamal's cooking or Liana's infamous health drink. Alcohol is another of Signum's banes.

After the events of Cente Gravia, Signum too misses Marge, but she often thinks of Marge’s solemn gynoid assistant Lambda of which they shared an almost sister-like connection due to similar personalities.

And after performing Unison with Agito, it seems that her Knight Armor changes slightly to resemble that of Lambda’s.

Who in the World is Signum?

This was a question the girls have puzzled over for years. Signum was the only Wolkie who had no recollection of who she was before joining the service of the same princess as the other Wolkies, meaning that she had suffered amnesia before that.

In Cente Gravia, the first theory proposed by Hayate used Kha's relation to the incredibly powerful being known as Thomas Kluize. In summary:

Spoiler for UHOH...:

The second but equally amazing theory was based on how Caro resembled Signum. Later, when Signum used transformation magic to turn herself into a young girl, the end result for basically a world-weary Caro with her hair styled like Nanoha's, adding more weight to the theory.

As expected, all this only gets on Signum's nerves.

Lightning No. 2

Ten years after the epilogue of A's, Signum became the sub-commander of the Lightning Squad of the TSAB, working under Fate, who worked under Hayate. Unlike Vita, however, she did not participate in training the trainees, under the pretense that she is an old fashioned knight and can only teach to them is to get close to their enemies and rip them apart.

However, near the end half of the series, she accepted the request of Erio Mondial to spar with him. And the knight couldn’t help note how that little boy reminded her of both Kha in the past, and of someone else buried deep within her memories.

Powers

Much like Raising Heart and Bardiche speak English, yet their masters understand them, the Wolkenritter's devices speak German. Translations are in parentheses.
Belka combat doctrine consists of 3 trees: Movement, Magical and Psionic.

Movement techniques focus on the body, strengthening it and facilitating the mastery of advanced melee battle finesse.

Magical techniques teach a Knight to infuse his/her attacks with enchantments and spells, turning the Knight into a devastating opponent.

And lastly, Psionic techniques focus on support skills like flight, teleportation, sensing, mental calculus and psionic communications, as well as other Belka skills like Mind Tricks and basic telekinetics. However, this tree is governed more by talent rather than training, and as such only the rarest of Knights go far in this tree, and those that do gain access to awesome traits like moving great masses with only their minds, creating psionic storms and even mind-control.

Signum is a skilled Knight, having expert mastery over magical and movement techniques, while her grasp of psionics, as evidenced by her flying capability and crystal-clear telecomms, isn't shabby at all.

Bogenform (Bow form) — Signum combines Laevatein with its scabbard to turn it into a longbow.

Nachladen — Not a real attack, just Laevatein reloading cartridges.

Telepathy — Not notable, as like flight and teleportation, all other mages in the Nanohaverse have it; however, her links appear to be strong with the other Wolkenritter, so it is tentatively listed here.

Schlangenform (Snake form) — Laevatein expands into chain-link form.

Schwertform (Sword form) — Laevatein returns to sword form.

Transformation — Signum performs a group transformation with Vita and Shamal.

Defensive Abilities

Knight Armour "Angelg" — Signum's battle costume is comprised of a battle dress designed for mobility, and armor plates. Although it is only referred to as "Armour" in the series, it seems to function similarly to the Barrier Jacket of the Mid-Childa magic system. Although Hayate discouraged her and the other Wolkenritter from fighting, she co-designed each of their costumes.

It may be Hayate's idea of a joke, but Signum noticed that after a recent design upgrade, she found her chest mantle a lot looser, and gave her assets rather unprecedented freedom.

Knight Armor "Vaisaga" — Signum's alternative battle costume created after Unison with Agito, shedding the extra gear for a more sleek and figure-complementing setting. It also bears a striking resemblance to the Knight Armor once worn by Lambda.

While it is not clear what settings changed with her armor swap, Signum did swap back to Angelg during Unison, when she prepared to fire Uberatna Sturmfalke.

Panzer Geist (Tank Spirit) — Creates a defensive aura, which surrounds Signum.

Offensive Abilities

Belka Magical Techniques

Hiryū Issen (飛竜一閃, Hiryū Issen?) (Flying Dragon Flash) - One of Signum's most powerful attacks, she spins Laevatein in Schlangenform and makes fire elemental energy run along the blade. A typhoon of flames is formed in the air between the segments of the blade, which is then thrown against the enemy. Though it falls in the Shooting-Type category, this attack has roughly the same power as Fate's Plasma Smasher, a Bombardment-Type Spell.

Karyū Issen (火竜一閃, Karyū Issen?) (Fire Dragon Flash) - Signum creates a shaft of flames and hold it as if was a sword. By swinging her arm, she can then throw the flames against enemies that are far away, hitting all enemies within her front-arc and more as it travels forwards for a short distance. She can also create this rod in her off-hand, allowing her to dual-wield Laevantine and the magic sword.

Shiden Issen (紫電一閃, Shiden Issen?) - Roughly translating to "Sword Flash", this is a weaker version of the Hiryū Issen with Laevatein in Schwertform that covers the sword's blade with flames to increase its attack power. Other than that, its just a regular melee strike.

Ougi, Tenryū Issen (Heavenly Dragon Flash) - An improved Shiden Issen that uses Laevantine as a core for the rod of fire. Signum unleashes the flames like Karyu Issen, hitting all enemies within her front-arc and more as it travels forwards for a short distance. However the flamewave travels faster and burns several times hotter.

Jizan Shikkūtō (Earth Slashing Swift Sky Sword, 地斬疾空刀) - Signum would charge Laevantine with fire beforehand while it is still in it's sheaths. Using it as a Batou technique, Signum unleashes it at an unsuspecting enemy with a quick swipe, sends fire blast towards the target if the enemy somehow managed to avoid getting struck at melee.

Suiryū Sōga (Flow of Claws and Tusks, 水流爪牙) - Signum charges Laevantine with fire, then swungs it down from above her head, releasing a column of fire that blasts through a line of enemies. It can be described as a typical Samurai ranged "blast from the blade" attack skill, akin to Inuyasha's Kaze no Kise or Kurosaki Inchigo's Getsuga Tenshou.

Sturmfalke (Storm Falcon) — Laevatein's attack as a bow.

Erhobener Falke (Exalted Falcon) – This is a higher powered variation of the normal SF, adding a magical bubble to SF’s tip that explodes on impact. The arcane explosion dispells a magical effect that was earlier applied to the target, allowing Signum to reduce the power of the target. Due to additional preparation needed, this shot cannot be strafed like the normal SF can.

Drei-Voranger Falke (Three-Headed Falcon) - A version of Sturmfalke that splits the bolt into 3 before launching, targeting different targets at once.

Hurrikan-Falke (Hurricane Falcon) - Launches a giant version of Sturmfalke that Signum holds back for a while to add spin to it before releasing, allowing it to "drill" through air and barriers alike, arriving at the target at unprecedented speed and is able to penetrate strong defences. This attack was based off of Kha's Caladblog II, a Traced spiral-shaped Armed Device that he uses as arrow.

Stern-heller Falke (Star Light Falcon) - A rare Sturmfalke that works exactly like the Starlight Breaker, absorbing residual magic to charge up a massive long-ranged shot much like a particle cannon’s. Targets hit by this bolt get burnt by starfire, reducing the ability of allies to heal the target. Due to the long cast time, Signum rarely uses this attack.

Interestingly, Signum always had this skill in her arsenal long before she could remember, and was not inspired by Nanoha, leading Hayate to make a rather disturbing conclusion of Signum’s past based on the relationship between Kha and Thomas Kluize.

Superatna Sturmfalke (Super Etna Storm Falcon) — A powerful version of Sturmfalke made by using Agito as the arrow. Signum draws upon all of her knowledge in shooting bows and uses them on this shot. As such, Signum her own magic as well as those still lingering around her, gathering it into her bow. Due to the ignition of expended magic as they are drawn into Signum, the Knight, who switches to Angelg in this attack, is given the appearance of an angel with giant fiery wings.

Visually, the attack is similar to the Angelg's Phantom Phoenix attack in magnitude, fiery opulence and sheer glory.

Belka Movement Techniques

Signum employs several basic Movement Techniques, and as such these are usually unnamed. She has 1 named MTs to date:

Sakkaku no Ken (Mirage Sword) — Signum launches herself at her opponent and deals a torrent of slashes to her target.

Sakkaku no Uta (Mirage Sign) — Signum carves two star shapes in the air and strikes through them, right through the enemy and pinning him in place. She then charges in and does five slashes on the enemy, which creates a pentagram. Signum then finishes it off by doing a final vertical slash.

Fūjinsen (Wind Blade Flash 風刃閃) — Signum sheathes Laevantine and gathers her maryoku, creating a "tornado" of mana around her. Blinking open suddenly, she rushes forward, faster than the eye can follow such that she leaves multiple images travelling up, down, left and right of her previous position while she herself is moving forwards. Signum does a quick unsheathe and slash at point blank range, right in front of the enemy.

Ōgi - Kōjinsen (Secret Technique - Light Blade Flash 奥義・光刃閃) — Signum performs the same motions as the Fuujinsen, with the only difference being where the Knight ends up. In the Ougi: Koujinsen, Signum ends up behind the opponent, and hits harder like a critical strike for Fuujinsen.

Later, when Signum's limiters were released, she uses this skill as an entire new attack altogether. Dashing straight towards the enemy, she delivers a multitude of slashes, effectively paralyzing the target. As a final strike, Signum readies herself, then swiftly slices the enemy horizontally in half, leaving the hapless Ex-Number to explode behind her.

The creator of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is noted as a fan of Super Robot Wars, thus fans has noted that Signum might be based on or is a homage to the heroine of Super Robot Wars Advance, Lamia Loveless. There have been a lot of similarities found between both characters:
• A lot of Signum's spells bear similarities to the attacks executed by the Angelg, Lamia's canonical mecha, particularly the sword and bow attacks (And although Angelg lacked a chain-sword, Laevatein's Schlangenform translates into 'Snake Form', while Lamia is also a name of a mythological snake demon). Furthermore, Signum's overall fighting style resembles that of Lamia's other mecha, Vaisaga.
• They are voiced by the same seiyuu, Kaori Shimizu, with her using similar voice level (she is also known to voice younger characters with lighter voices).
• Their have similar backgrounds:
• Signum was once an artificial intelligence within the Book of Darkness, with ruthless attitude, devoid of any personalities, but gradually changes as she served Hayate
• Lamia was created as an android only to fulfill orders, but after being surrounded with other people, she began to develop her own conscience and free will.
• They were somehow connected with men who were considered dead once:
• Signum fought against Zest Grangeitz, a former member of Capital City Defense Forces, formerly presumed to be dead.
• One of Lamia's predecessors in the W-Series is W15, based on the Shadow Mirror universe's Sanger Zonvolt, which was considered killed in action beforehand. Also later includes Axel Almer, who was thought to be dead in Original Generations, but came back alive in the Gaiden.
• Signum's color scheme matches Angelg's (Pink and white).
• In the final episode of StrikerS, Signum managed to perform an unison with Agito, resulting a new outfit resembling Lamia's outfit, colored in blue[5]
• Both of them also experienced events where they were thought to be dead, but in truth, they were still alive. They also underwent some reprogramming in process.
• In the end of A's, Signum was abruptly deleted by the Alia and Lotte Liese under Gil Graham, only to be called back by Hayate 2 episodes later, reprogrammed with more power and her memories intact.
• In the end of the bonus section of Original Generations, Lamia was abruptly killed by Wilhelm von Juergen. In the continuation of the events in Original Generation Gaiden, it turns out she was slightly reprogrammed by Duminuss and fell under her control.

Not much crack here... Except maybe when I get the Rebuilt Signum's Vaisaga KA picture ready.

The slight Caronum crack was just an inneudo; don't worry.

Shall I post the possible theories of Signum's past, as discussed by OCs and CCs too?

*runs*

You did include the Signum=Archer theory chart, which is good IMO.

And as always, Lamia Signum Loveless is made of .

I think I may do a remake of one of my OCs as well after this.

There's 2 ways about that, really. The idea behind it was that Mid-childa and Alhazred actually share moons of the same kind, and the coordinate point between the two moons on very precise moments actualizes a gateway to Alhazred.

So, the 2nd Terra System given to them is used to somehow distort the energy point of the coordinates and somehow put it in the very center of a planet. That, or the Terra System is used to actually 'teleport' Mid-childa several hundred-thousand kilometers off its actual plane into the center of that place.

If possible, I would also like to use something of that sort for an excuse to WHY exactly the moon-positioning of Mid-childa is weird and doesn't cause some sort of crash... because the coordinative patterns was forcibly disalligned and sustained through System Terra.



I don't even understand half of what I'm saying.

Yes, it was a fabricated lie. Should've been obvious.

As for the 2nd part, I mentioned the "earliest" precursor to TSAB, which... within my context is no less than 700 to 1000 years before canon time.

I'd like to think of it of a time when only less than 5 worlds had achieved 'the BARE' minimum of technology and magic to traverse dimensions and even then, it'd takes a LONG time to establish contact and travel the dimensional seas, unlike any of the teleport/2 hours ship ride thing in current timeline. >_<

My style of references.

Anyway, it's still rough. Aside from the "former king", Rel Del Cielo, the Prophet, original Jail, and a few others, the cast is not properly complete either.

Think Samus Aran and Metroid rather than GUNDAM.



At least I'm not over here calling in Super Robots.

Then there is the simple fact that this is a magical girl show, I would rather avoid this going too sci-fi. I can work with weapons that look like ordinary guns, cyborgs and spaceships, but I draw the line at power armor.

As far as power armors are concerned, I think it's along the lines of developmental issues. It's not a matter of canon and non-canon, it's just that it went into 'official' development limbo once magi-tech is advented dimension-wide. Upon that notion, everyone and their mothers invested in Devices and all that, and after several decades, whatever was left of Power Armors was probably too weak compared to appliances of Devices.

As for why nobody uses it, probably for around the same sort of reasons nobody wears plate armour these days, as well as the anime tendency for Less Is More clothes-as-armour. I mean, I'm looking at Schach's Barrier Jacket and I'm wondering how practical it would be, much less Nanoha's Barrier Jacket. I mean, Subaru's Barrier Jacket exposes her belly, which would otherwise be a big SHOOT HERE sign.

The feasibility of Power Armors so long as it's magi-tech involved seems to cover at most, the grounds of extra-power. Does having more screws and A.I storage and magi-chips allow superior control and performance while still being cost-effective?

It's clear canonically that specialized Intelligent are far more effective than regular ones. Yet at the same time, it's not fully implemented. There's a lot of what's going on, why, cost issues, but as far as it looks, I highly doubt Power Armors (( which WILL COST a lot more than I.Ds, if we take things into account )) can be a cost-effective inclusion.

Personally, as far as Nanohaverse is concerned, Power Armors seems most feasible as... a. weapons by crazy scientist improving of tech no longer improved/developed or b. a lesser bunch of TSAB or techno-corporate scientist experimenting on a prototype for power-armors.

To be honest, now that I remember, there is powered armor in the Nanoverse, or at least Fanon. The powered armor units used by the Erusian Military and Erusian Resistance during the War of Subjugation. And let's not forget the costs of such things as well - I doubt these units will see mass-production, since the costs are going to be huge. And even if the exoframe works and runs around, putting on the armor increases bulk, making you a bigger target, plus there's no real evidence that armor really helps against magical shots - there's inference that Barrier Jackets provide some protection, and that's a whole other shitstorm I won't get into at 4 am, plus bulking up is not a good idea in CQB; I remember reading that Delta Force, when doing an airliner takedown, doesn't use body armor because the idea is to strike fast and deadly.

I'm actually going to jump in the fray with this one, simply because it seems worthwhile. I'm going to use my G3C Ghost Armor as a foil to ATCs armor, simply because they seem to be complete opposites in function and serve as decent foils to each other.

From what I can gather, ATC's armor (the name escapes me; I'm going to call it Metal Gear for now) is designed to be a heavy-assault and augment armor, essentially turning the user of it into a mobile walking weapons platform . Metal Gear's equipment is designed to be able to pump the unit from a mere C rank to a AAA/S rank with the use of cartridges, along with giving them all sorts of nifty gadgets. In theory, this sounds like a good idea; turning a grunt into a AAA rank? Yes plz. In practice? Totally different.

Let's look at cost, for starters. These things would have to be damn expensive, on par with a Main Battle Tank in the modern time if not more. Like Goose mentioned, it'd be a 30 to 300 syndrome. You could build one Metal Gear armor, or you could build 10 (using an example) Infantry Fighting Vehicles (not that the TSAB has those, I think). Cost does not outweigh utility. I'm sure if they could afford to mass-produce it, they would build legions of Metal Gear suits. But they can't. Maintenance costs alone would be scary.

Now let's observe what it does to the user. You're proposing that you take a C rank mage and turn them into an A rank at the least. Coupled with the Cartridge system, which is proven to strain the user's body, you're bumping them up to an S rank. If Nanoha, an S rank, is worn by using such a huge number of cartridges, I would think a C rank would die from them. I see these things being used in limited, very short, engagements; I would put an hour of operational time at the most. That's to prevent damage to one's Linker Core (well, permanent damage). But some engagements can last even longer, taking days.

Finally, let's just assume that a unit of Metal Gear-equipped ground forces goes haywire or rebels. Now you have a platoon of enhanced super-soldiers running around killing people willy-nilly. And you definitely don't want that.

I'm going to use my Ghost Armor now as a foil.

The Ghost Armor is designed to be a supplemental utility to the mage. To expound, it focuses on stealth while providing the mage with a defense thicker than your standard Barrier Jacket. This is because of the second Device that the Armor emits out of, the Charge Device, which processes and stores the armor. Running semi-dependently on the mage's Linker Core, the armor provides minimal wear and tear on their Core, allowing for extended engagements. The Storage Device that usually comes with it is a rifle-shaped Storage Device that allows for most standard TSAB attacks. Furthermore, the cloaking system, while the heat output it high, provides near-total invisibility, greatly increasing utility of mages when they're tracking their targets.

But like with Metal Gear, there are heavy drawbacks to why you will never see massive production of these things. First off, like Metal Gear, the cost is almost prohibitive. While not as expensive as Metal Gear, dedicated cloaking technology is still in its infancy, and thus costly to maintain. The armor itself, with all the bells and whistles it comes with, is also expensive. Totaling up the costs of everything, I'm going to estimate that it costs about 1/3 of that of Metal Gear. A 3 for 10 ratio, if you will. For one suit of Ghost Armor, you could build 3 IFVs. Not as bad a tradeoff as Metal Gear, but prohibitive enough that there are very few of these in production, and which is why I expressed that only some Enforcers and the OFM use it.

On the user, the wear isn't nearly as bad as Metal Gear. However, the drawback with Ghost Armor is the cloaking tech. The technology is extremely sensitive to user magic, and whilst cloaked a mage is unable to cast any spells, not even flight. This means that you're not going to be sniping a target from 3000 meters while cloaked. You're not binding someone while cloaked, and you're sure as hell not going to be casting anything defensive while cloaked. Though invisible, you're also totally vulnerable. Most people wouldn't like this, though others can see its function and adapt.

Finally, just for kicks, let's pit Emili against Crash. Ghost Armor versus Metal Gear. Emili is AA rank, and Crash is... well, I forgot, sorry. The point is that Metal Gear augments his rank.

If they start at range, then both would have a good fight. Emili is a combat specialist, and she enjoys ranged attacks. It would come down to Emili evading Crash's attacks, since Emili's Ghost Armor can't stand up to the power of Metal Gear's attacks, and Crash just standing there and taking it, because IIRC Metal Gear is really tough.

Time for T3H HERO of Rebuilt!

LIGHTNING-03
Rebuilt of Erio



Hmm... Wrong age?

Spoiler for Erio, Knight Rider:

Erio, Knight Rider

Erio Mondial (エリオ・モンディアル Erio Mondīaru?) is a character in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Along with Caro Ru Lushe, he is one of the many kids that Fate Testarossa met and befriended while on duty, and one of the few that she actively looked after. He resembles his Meister Kha a lot and is the lone male of Division 6's Forward Team. Hae has an unusually solemn personality for a boy and has a certain lack of common sense when it came to elements of an ordinary lifestyle.

He is named after the Suzuki Aerio and for the Ferrari Mondial or the Mondial Piega Strada motorcycle

Rebuilt for StrikerS

At least 6 years prior to StrikerS, Erio was taken away from his parents house. During the incident, he learned that he was an artificial human being created as a product of the Project F. Broken in spirit by the revelation and by being practically throw out by the couple that he had known as parents once they learned that the truth had been discovered, Erio was at the mercy of his captors.

During his tormented captivity of day after day of experimenting and indoctrination, Erio found the companionship of an older boy, a true-bred super soldier Null, someone he would come to regard as his older brother. It was during that dark time where Erio also discovered the voice in the wind, which later Acous would teach him was the voice of Mother Nature awakening another of her blessed Shaman sons.

In a strike of luck however, just as he and Null were about to be culled, he was found and protected by Fate Testarossa and the Grade Frame Exia piloted by Kha. Despite nagging doubts, Fate decided to take care of him shortly after.

Even though he was a legal member of the Harlaown family (since he had Fate as his guardian and Lindy Harlaown as his adoptive parent), Erio was placed under a special protection program by the Time-Space Administration Bureau and made to live at the TSAB's headquarters until he was 8 years-old. Not that it mattered; it made it easier for Kha and Fate to take care of him when they were there for pre- and post-mission deployment phases, which was very often for the busy couple.

Under the tutelage of first Fate and later Kha after the events of Cente Gravia, Erio eventually learned magic and the way of the Belka, and joined the Time-Space Administration Bureau's forces.

The Way of the Wind

Unlike Kha, Erio was not meant to be a Cleric-knight, but instead his mana affinity for Nature together with his talent of listening to the wind made him perfect to be a Shaman which were even rarer amongst the devout Belka. Acous, a Restoration Shaman himself, teaches Erio whatever Kha can’t, and schools him to be a promising force of natural balance. Acous is thinking that Erio could be meant for specializing as an Enhancement Shaman, one focused on the reinforced of the body to be a guardian of the elemental spirits.

Whatever the case, by the time when Operation StrikerS was due to begin, he was a young Private 2nd Class ranked "B" as a mage, and a freshly minted Rank-20 Page with a Probational Operation Licence, allowing him to gain Stars to rank up further in the hands-on rating systems that the Belka use to accredit their Knights and Meisters.

It is not known why does the wind has a penchant of whispering to Erio whenever he is near a young girl in distress...

I Am Lightning

Once transferred to the Mobile Division 6, Erio was placed under the command of his former guardian in the Lightning Squad and code-named "Lightning 3". It has been hinted that he and his squad-partner and technically adopted sister, Caro, are developing a romantic relationship.

At the end of the series, Erio asks to transfer to the TSAB-administrated world No. 61 and works with Caro at its planetary wildlife preservation. They live on-site, along with the recovering Kia, Quint, and Megane. Lutecia and Garyuu would be transferred on-planet, followed soon by the Numbers who were discovered to be Kha’s half-sisters.

Powers

Erio is a user of the Modern-Belka magic system, which complements the capacities of the original Belka system with traits of the Mid-Childa system. During his training, Erio received some tutoring from Fate, Kha and Acous, consequently learning a few of their spells.

Erio's specialties lies in electric-based elemental magic and high-speed close combat (probably also due Fate's and Kha’s training). Because of that, he was given the position of Guard Wing of the Forward Team, where he is supposed provide quick support to all his allies, regardless of their position in the battlefield. Erio possess a spear-like Armed Device named Strada.

Like Kha, Erio learned several tricks about stealth, and has a pair of shoes that can transform himself into an older individual. However, knock those shoes off and he changes back. He uses them to drive around in Kha’s vehicles.

And like the Meister, Erio learned some things about sniping as well.

Telepathy - Just like how it is the case with the Ancient-Belka System, Modern-Belka users usually have access to this ability.

Defensive Abilities

Barrier Jacket - Being a user of the Modern-Belka System, Erio's defensive outfit is referred as a Barrier Jacket instead of Knight Armour. It resembles Fate's Impulse Form Barrier Jacket thanks to the white overcoat and the steel shoes. As for everything else, it was derived from the same Jacket that Kha wore before he switched to Knight Armors.

Sonic Move - One of Fate's original spells that was passed down to Erio, it increases his speeds for a short period of time and allows almost instantaneous movement.

Lightning Shield - This temporary all-round barrier works like Fate's Thunder Arm, but covers all of Erio instead of just the arm. It also has 5 orbs that are consumed when the shield is struck, returning the attack with a bolt of lightning.

Offensive Abilities

Poetry World - Erio's attempt at a Reality Marble like attack. It was supposed to trap an enemy within a space that obeyed his own rules, but what happened was that the curious boy ended up creating a giant mana explosion that left him dazed but fortunately unhurt. That misadventure from attempting to copy his Meister earned him one of the harshest scolding from a worried Fate cracking under stress and borderline clinical depression.

In StrikerS, he never used the attack, but continues to attempt at creating the skill, this time under Kha's supervision.

Leutendes Licht (Brilliant Light) - Erio's sniping attack learned from Kha. While he is not as accurate as Kha, he's reasonably proficient and can swing by on ropes and cut powerlines while shooting. He does a stunt like that, hammering 3 shots into the Ganman-like Type-5 and downing it by the time he swooped past.

Blitz Schraube (Lightning Bolt) - A basic lightning spell taught by Acous allowing Erio to throw a bolt of lightning from his fist. Erio combos this skill with other attack and slashes as it is instant cast.

Kettenblitz (Chain Lightning) - Another lightning spell taught by Acous. Erio unleashes a bolt of lightning that jumps to nearby targets, allowing him to destroy several Gadgets at once.

Luftmesser - Using magic to compress and accelerate the air around Strada, Erio creates blades of wind and throws them at the target.

Speerangriff (Spear Attack) - Another spell learnt from Kha. Strada ignites its main thrusters in order to drive Erio in a high-speed charge attack, making it similar to Vita's Raketen Hammer. If compared to the Raketen Hammer however, it is impossible to acquire the necessary acceleration power unless there is a minimum distance between the targets.

Speerschneiden - The attack that cut a bridge apart in the third episode of StrikerS, its name was revealed in the DVD's booklet. Though it has a great attack power, its charging time makes it unsuitable for a direct battle. Instead, it is usually used as an obstacle remover.

Stahlmesser (Narrow Claw) - A blade of magical energy extends itself from Strada's tip and is then used to cut the target. Used in episode 05 of StrikerS against a Type-III Gadget Drone. It’s due to notice that the pink color that the blade presented at the said time was due to Caro's Twin Boost spell.

Thunder Rage - Another spell learned from Fate, Erio's variation is classified as a Magic-Enhanced Attack-type spell since a skydiving melee strike precedes the magic thunderbolts. (When Strada in Thunderstorm form in episode 17.)

Shiden Issen (Lightning Flash) - A variation of one of Signum's technique. As opposed to Signum who covers Laevatein's blade in flames to increase its attack power, Erio concentrates electrical energy in his fist and punches the enemy to deliver an electric blast.

LIMITER BREAK: Granado es Strada

Perfect Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnfNA2GZMrY

Because the Zamber Blade was too heavy for little Erio to wield, Erio sought to find another method to break through Garyuu's speed and the insect cloud. And true to his Meister's words about thinking out of the box, Erio did it.

Instead of the usually over-sized nature of Limiter Breaks, Erio's was puny, in fact, Strada shrunk during Full Release, into a gladius-like two-hander with Strada's spearhead lenghtening to that of a sword, the rest of the head becoming it's core, and the hilt shrinking to just enough room for him to grasp with both hands. At the end of Strada is a half-chopped bike chain.

His Barrier Jacket changes appearance, to Sonikferm. His Jacket becomes closed by a button in the front, he gets longer pants, and the tails of the jacket becomes tattered, as seen in the above video.

The logic behind Granado es Strada (or Strada, You Are Grand in Latin) was that by releasing all his mana channels, then transmuting more of Strada's mass to mana, then compressing the rest into a more solid blade, Erio created a blade that was 3 times sharper then before, and he himself boosting his speed by 3 times. And he could increase his speed further by 3 times every 3 minutes up to 3 times before hitting his current physical limit.

As a result, Garyuu lost sight of Erio several times, and barely managed to keep him at bay. Ultimately, the incredible speed and endurance of Erio was the straw that broke the camel's armor.

Meister and Page, Father and Son

Kha and Erio share many similarities:

- Both have red hair.
- Both have a certain lack of common sense in everyday situations.
- Both emphasize speed in their combat styles.
- Both use spear-type devices in their first release mode, and can use swords.
- Both "hear" things.

- Erio hears the whispers of the wind.
- Kha hears the whispers of magic around him.

- Both often find themselves in harems to be the only male in the group.
- Both are, on track record, irresistable to women their age.
- When attacked, both often get injured first over the girls in the team.

And all the general points are canon facts.

Thank your Meister, Erio, for I made you Grand.

Not a lot of crack as well, but can you spot the VA refs in the post?

And can you think of any more things that Kha and Erio are alike?

Thread:

And here's a small WIP that will detail some things about shim...

Spoiler for WIP: Escape from Ground Central:

15th floor, north stairwell.

"Okay..." he then said to the band of classmages (corny classmate mages mixed word), as he wheeled the yo-yo in to the corner. "This is now the floor most occupied with the enemy machines..."

"And that weird secretary with the long nails..." Eika, one of the three Terrans (yes, from the 97th) replied, clutching her newly created device (thanks to an injured TSAB engineer back at the 16th floor) Raijin.

The two other Terrans, Karen and Kotoha, nodded in agreement, clutching thier newly created devices as well (thanks to said engineer), with two other Midchildans, Mike and Renee nodded.

"Okay... let's take a look." Bridget spoke, opening his visor and opening a screen for everyone to see. "More of the big balls and a lot of the smaller ones- and no sign of the strange secretary. And there's the elevator to the 10th floor on the other end- we need to get to that if we're ever going to get out- we have some classmates back at the lab tending to Mr. Minoru so we have to be quick."

"But if one big ball we're already strained against it, that's about five in the hall... possibly more- what chance do we have?" Karen asked.

The group was silent for a while and finally, Bridget stood up and pulled the yo-yo quickly.

"Me."

"What do you mean 'you'?" Mike asked.

"She's in the special section in the academy- a section reserved for magical 'oddities' and 'geniuses'... her magic seal is different from any enforcer we know- heck we don't even know what it is..." Kotoha commented.

"Not to mention that her attacks simply went thru while ours were of no use against that strange barrier." Karen added.

While they were talking about the observations, Bridget was simply walking towards the corner, Eika noting and suddenly following him.

"Hey..." she called out. "Hey... Hey i said!!!" she again spoke, grabbing his hand.

"What is it?"

"I'm not allowing you to get yourself killed."

"I have to do what i have to do..."

"Aren't you stupid?!!"

That question echoed along the floor, alerting the gadgets, making them advance slowly. The humans were now alerted to the incoming intrusion.

"What are you doing Eika?!!" Bridget asked, removing the hand that was holding his.

"Like what I've said, I'm not allowing to get yourself killed until you tell me your name..."

"Suit yourself... we'll settle this later." Bridget then spoke and ran towards the corridor.

"That idiot..." Eika could only comment as the rest caught up.

The gadgets now stopped as they locked on to the templar.

Target locked on...

"Hi there..." he then greeted them, twirling his yo-yos round and round. "You seem to be a big family..."

Analyzing Target... Acquiring Signature...

"What's she-" Mike tried to ask, but was stopped by Eika.

"Distraction..." Eika spoke softly.

"What do you-"

"Luring the machines so that we can pass... or something else."

By this time, the yo-yos were now back on his hands, and with one flick of the right wrist, two yo-yos were now on the right- bringing the total to three. Then with one smooth arc, he clipped the third yo-yo on the top of his ring, an engaging sound heard as it seemed to link with it.

Target Signature Acquired...

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

Target has been designated High Priority! Target has been designated High Priority! Target has been designated High Priority!

AMF IMMUNE! AMF IMMUNE! AMF IMMUNE!

Engaging...

Not one, not two but three of the ball gadgets charge towards him, making him flinch a bit, but as they were closing the gap, they suddenly stop.

DANGER... DANGER... DANGER...

Target Energy Level increasing... Levels comparable to S Rank...

DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!

Excercising Extreme Caution...

Well, the reason for the above warning...

"Roger... Overdrive Engage..."

"You got it!" a teddy bear hologram suddenly appeared on his shoulder and spoke.

"A... Teddy... Bear..." Eika could only think. "You've got to be kidding me..."

A rather hollow metallic "click" was heard, and then, the ring that surrounded the Templar's waist began to spin- in opposite directions. the sound that emanated from it was like a jet engine being spooledup. The whine then increased its pitch as the ring sped up.

24 other recruits to lead to safety... in 30 floors, 3000 rooms filled with gadgets, and at least 1 Number inside... (number may increase if Kha decides to add more...)

And outside, mayhem...

And you're the only non-Mid or Velkan in the entire planet (with a slight chance of beating gadgets) as of that moment!

What will you do Bridget?

On another note, the Sky Girls are now here!

Spoiler for Something like this:

"So how did it happen anyway?" Fate was the picture of innocence as always, added in with a dash of confusion this time.

"Well Shamal had to remove the transformation spell placed on Signum for a mission but she was talking to me while doing so and she ended up being a tad heavy-handed while performing the spell."

"And to think it actually manage to transform Signum into that form. What a thing to happen." Fate's expression of helplessness was apt for the situation they were talking about right now.

"Well, personally I don't think it's too much of a bad thing. The effect shouldn't be permanent and probably won't hinder Signum from performing her duties at all. In fact, she might loosen up for a bit."

"Really? How is that so?"

Hayate managed a short giggle before continuing. "Well she even asked for a sparing session with Erio-kun since she got back.."

"Oh. Lets go check on them Hayate-chan? I'm worried the two of them might be going at it too seriously with Signum in her current form and Erio eager for more practice."

"Let's just take a quick peek since it's around the corner then shall we?"

As they approached the training room, it was clear that Signum was..well slightly more enthusiastic than usual.

"Going easy on me just because I'm in this form? Come harder at me Erio!"

"Erm..no! I mean yes! I mean..I'm coming Signum-san!"

What Fate and Hayate heard next was a jumble of shouts and thuds. Curiously, a streak of red light zipped past them at that time.

"Hehe that'll teach that red-headed kid not to underestimate Signum!"

Fearing that Agito's prank had backfired on the sparring duo, the two hurried into the room.

"Erio! Signum! Are you two all right?" Fate's panicked call as she stopped at the door to check on them.

What greeted them wasn't too bad in some ways, and yet worst in others.

Strada and Levantine were strewn a good distance from them while the two in question was framed in the center by Fate's view from the doorway. Though the two's position did leave some good doubts about what had happened.

Signum's hair was undone, the ribbon normally holding it in place gone, leaving her flowing pink hair to cascade down over the sides of her shoulders and onto the floor, over her sitting position on top of her prone sparring partner.

Erio meanwhile struggled for air as he found himself pinned by Signum in two places. While Signum did appear younger, her assets were still respectable and still managed to suffocate Erio under them. Though this was nothing as Erio managed to push his face out of them and the pink hair surrounding his head to a much more embarrassing situation.

Signum was sitting onto of his waist while he had lied flat down on the floor with his arms around her waist.

Turning to face the visitors, their response was expected. Well not quite.

"Ah Hayate. And Testarossa. What brings you two here?"

"Ohh! Hayate-san! Fate-san too! This is a mistake! I-!"

"Isn't this too much for relaxing Hayate-chan?!"

Fate was beside herself while Hayate poured lots of oil onto the fire.

"Well Erio-kun is a boy and he is going to be at that age soon but I didn't expect Signum to reciprocate in kind that daringly.."

And what's this?

Spoiler for Omake!:

"Ohh! Hayate-san! Fate-san too! This is a mistake! I-!"

"Say no more Erio. I understand your situation perfectly."

"What? No! This isn't what it looks like! I just thought Signum-san would be a better person to practice with since you're always so busy..!"

"I had expected you to come find me for this kind of things Erio. Does this mean you do not trust me? Truly I'm disappointed."

"I'm sorry! I'll accept any punishment you'll mete out. Just forgive me please!"

"Well that would depend entirely on you whether I'll forgive you.."

"I'll do my best so please!"

"You'll do well with this kind of spirit." Fate said her hands went to Erio's chest and placed her face close to his, very very close. Fate's eyes were expanding Erio from within, and not mentioning the effect her breath was having on him as well.

A jolt came to Erio's mind as Fate's hand went lower. Much, much more lower.

"Huh?! What's this about Fate-san?"

"You wanted to learn about women and so I'm going to teach you.."

"Wait wait wait! That wasn't I meant! I-!"

"This will not do." Signum was a face of serious business as she cut in.

"And why is that?" Fate stopped mid-way though cuddling Erio.

For a moment, Erio thought he found his salvation. Well it depends, with what Signum had to say next.

"He came under my tutelage for this session first and I will not relinquish this claim. Even to you Testarossa. What he desires to learn, I shall be the one to teach first."

"WHAAAAAT?!"

"Mou, Signum. Erio is mine to begin with in the first place."

"That does not matter. I shall be the one to teach him anyway."

Erio looked towards his final hope of salvation.

"Looks like everyone's going to have fun with this. I still have some reports to wrap up so I'll have to leave first. Be sure to submit a report about what you learnt later alright Erio-kun? Ja-ne!" Hayate winked as she went out the door.

Which turns out he had none in the first place, leaving him to fend for himself.

"Erio." Signum's younger face was sorely testing his defenses.

"Erio.." Fate's face was inching ever closer to his..

"TASUKETE! AHHHHHHHHH!"

***

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-ompfh!"

Erio found his face, thankfully, to be neither in contact with Signum's nor Fate's but the cool hard surface of his room.

Realizing he had rolled out of bed, Erio heaved a great sigh. He had managed to solve the highly embarrassing situation earlier today but what was with the dream he just had?

Shaking his head and crawling back to bed, Erio swore he would stay off any more 'picture books' Chrono or Vice had to offer in the future.

Okay what the hell did I just write?

*RUNS*

What did you just write? I'll tell you what you just wrote...

MUCH WIN AND AWESOME



Too bad the latter was just a dream... or was it?

Regarding the barrier jacket vs power armor again.

It can also be explained a la Dune. In Duneverse, the introduction of personal force field-based shields made not only projectiles obsolete and laser too dangerous for everyone, but also eliminated the need for personal armor (while on Arrakis, wearing a shield is too dangerous because of the worms, wearing something like a power armor is ridiculous and stupid because of the nature of Arrakis itself).

Maybe in Midchildia, the ability to cast magical shields did the same. And if one was too worried over his/her personal protection, there are barrier jackets that does its job way better than a full plate, without crippling someone's mobility. (and living up to the sci-fi/fantasy trope that less plates = better armor class!)

Spoiler for Erio, Knight Rider:

Erio, Knight Rider

Erio Mondial (エリオ・モンディアル Erio Mondīaru?) is a character in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Along with Caro Ru Lushe, he is one of the many kids that Fate Testarossa met and befriended while on duty, and one of the few that she actively looked after. He resembles his Meister Kha a lot and is the lone male of Division 6's Forward Team. Hae has an unusually solemn personality for a boy and has a certain lack of common sense when it came to elements of an ordinary lifestyle.

He is named after the Suzuki Aerio and for the Ferrari Mondial or the Mondial Piega Strada motorcycle

Rebuilt for StrikerS

At least 6 years prior to StrikerS, Erio was taken away from his parents house. During the incident, he learned that he was an artificial human being created as a product of the Project F. Broken in spirit by the revelation and by being practically throw out by the couple that he had known as parents once they learned that the truth had been discovered, Erio was at the mercy of his captors.

During his tormented captivity of day after day of experimenting and indoctrination, Erio found the companionship of an older boy, a true-bred super soldier Null, someone he would come to regard as his older brother. It was during that dark time where Erio also discovered the voice in the wind, which later Acous would teach him was the voice of Mother Nature awakening another of her blessed Shaman sons.

In a strike of luck however, just as he and Null were about to be culled, he was found and protected by Fate Testarossa and the Grade Frame Exia piloted by Kha. Despite nagging doubts, Fate decided to take care of him shortly after.

Even though he was a legal member of the Harlaown family (since he had Fate as his guardian and Lindy Harlaown as his adoptive parent), Erio was placed under a special protection program by the Time-Space Administration Bureau and made to live at the TSAB's headquarters until he was 8 years-old. Not that it mattered; it made it easier for Kha and Fate to take care of him when they were there for pre- and post-mission deployment phases, which was very often for the busy couple.

Under the tutelage of first Fate and later Kha after the events of Cente Gravia, Erio eventually learned magic and the way of the Belka, and joined the Time-Space Administration Bureau's forces.

The Way of the Wind

Unlike Kha, Erio was not meant to be a Cleric-knight, but instead his mana affinity for Nature together with his talent of listening to the wind made him perfect to be a Shaman which were even rarer amongst the devout Belka. Acous, a Restoration Shaman himself, teaches Erio whatever Kha can’t, and schools him to be a promising force of natural balance. Acous is thinking that Erio could be meant for specializing as an Enhancement Shaman, one focused on the reinforced of the body to be a guardian of the elemental spirits.

Whatever the case, by the time when Operation StrikerS was due to begin, he was a young Private 2nd Class ranked "B" as a mage, and a freshly minted Rank-20 Page with a Probational Operation Licence, allowing him to gain Stars to rank up further in the hands-on rating systems that the Belka use to accredit their Knights and Meisters.

It is not known why does the wind has a penchant of whispering to Erio whenever he is near a young girl in distress...

I Am Lightning

Once transferred to the Mobile Division 6, Erio was placed under the command of his former guardian in the Lightning Squad and code-named "Lightning 3". It has been hinted that he and his squad-partner and technically adopted sister, Caro, are developing a romantic relationship.

At the end of the series, Erio asks to transfer to the TSAB-administrated world No. 61 and works with Caro at its planetary wildlife preservation. They live on-site, along with the recovering Kia, Quint, and Megane. Lutecia and Garyuu would be transferred on-planet, followed soon by the Numbers who were discovered to be Kha’s half-sisters.

Powers

Erio is a user of the Modern-Belka magic system, which complements the capacities of the original Belka system with traits of the Mid-Childa system. During his training, Erio received some tutoring from Fate, Kha and Acous, consequently learning a few of their spells.

Erio's specialties lies in electric-based elemental magic and high-speed close combat (probably also due Fate's and Kha’s training). Because of that, he was given the position of Guard Wing of the Forward Team, where he is supposed provide quick support to all his allies, regardless of their position in the battlefield. Erio possess a spear-like Armed Device named Strada.

Like Kha, Erio learned several tricks about stealth, and has a pair of shoes that can transform himself into an older individual. However, knock those shoes off and he changes back. He uses them to drive around in Kha’s vehicles.

And like the Meister, Erio learned some things about sniping as well.

Telepathy - Just like how it is the case with the Ancient-Belka System, Modern-Belka users usually have access to this ability.

Defensive Abilities

Barrier Jacket - Being a user of the Modern-Belka System, Erio's defensive outfit is referred as a Barrier Jacket instead of Knight Armour. It resembles Fate's Impulse Form Barrier Jacket thanks to the white overcoat and the steel shoes. As for everything else, it was derived from the same Jacket that Kha wore before he switched to Knight Armors.

Sonic Move - One of Fate's original spells that was passed down to Erio, it increases his speeds for a short period of time and allows almost instantaneous movement.

Lightning Shield - This temporary all-round barrier works like Fate's Thunder Arm, but covers all of Erio instead of just the arm. It also has 5 orbs that are consumed when the shield is struck, returning the attack with a bolt of lightning.

Offensive Abilities

Poetry World - Erio's attempt at a Reality Marble like attack. It was supposed to trap an enemy within a space that obeyed his own rules, but what happened was that the curious boy ended up creating a giant mana explosion that left him dazed but fortunately unhurt. That misadventure from attempting to copy his Meister earned him one of the harshest scolding from a worried Fate cracking under stress and borderline clinical depression.

In StrikerS, he never used the attack, but continues to attempt at creating the skill, this time under Kha's supervision.

Leutendes Licht (Brilliant Light) - Erio's sniping attack learned from Kha. While he is not as accurate as Kha, he's reasonably proficient and can swing by on ropes and cut powerlines while shooting. He does a stunt like that, hammering 3 shots into the Ganman-like Type-5 and downing it by the time he swooped past.

Blitz Schraube (Lightning Bolt) - A basic lightning spell taught by Acous allowing Erio to throw a bolt of lightning from his fist. Erio combos this skill with other attack and slashes as it is instant cast.

Kettenblitz (Chain Lightning) - Another lightning spell taught by Acous. Erio unleashes a bolt of lightning that jumps to nearby targets, allowing him to destroy several Gadgets at once.

Luftmesser - Using magic to compress and accelerate the air around Strada, Erio creates blades of wind and throws them at the target.

Speerangriff (Spear Attack) - Another spell learnt from Kha. Strada ignites its main thrusters in order to drive Erio in a high-speed charge attack, making it similar to Vita's Raketen Hammer. If compared to the Raketen Hammer however, it is impossible to acquire the necessary acceleration power unless there is a minimum distance between the targets.

Speerschneiden - The attack that cut a bridge apart in the third episode of StrikerS, its name was revealed in the DVD's booklet. Though it has a great attack power, its charging time makes it unsuitable for a direct battle. Instead, it is usually used as an obstacle remover.

Stahlmesser (Narrow Claw) - A blade of magical energy extends itself from Strada's tip and is then used to cut the target. Used in episode 05 of StrikerS against a Type-III Gadget Drone. It’s due to notice that the pink color that the blade presented at the said time was due to Caro's Twin Boost spell.

Thunder Rage - Another spell learned from Fate, Erio's variation is classified as a Magic-Enhanced Attack-type spell since a skydiving melee strike precedes the magic thunderbolts. (When Strada in Thunderstorm form in episode 17.)

Shiden Issen (Lightning Flash) - A variation of one of Signum's technique. As opposed to Signum who covers Laevatein's blade in flames to increase its attack power, Erio concentrates electrical energy in his fist and punches the enemy to deliver an electric blast.

LIMITER BREAK: Granado es Strada

Perfect Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnfNA2GZMrY

Because the Zamber Blade was too heavy for little Erio to wield, Erio sought to find another method to break through Garyuu's speed and the insect cloud. And true to his Meister's words about thinking out of the box, Erio did it.

Instead of the usually over-sized nature of Limiter Breaks, Erio's was puny, in fact, Strada shrunk during Full Release, into a gladius-like two-hander with Strada's spearhead lenghtening to that of a sword, the rest of the head becoming it's core, and the hilt shrinking to just enough room for him to grasp with both hands. At the end of Strada is a half-chopped bike chain.

His Barrier Jacket changes appearance, to Sonikferm. His Jacket becomes closed by a button in the front, he gets longer pants, and the tails of the jacket becomes tattered, as seen in the above video.

The logic behind Granado es Strada (or Strada, You Are Grand in Latin) was that by releasing all his mana channels, then transmuting more of Strada's mass to mana, then compressing the rest into a more solid blade, Erio created a blade that was 3 times sharper then before, and he himself boosting his speed by 3 times. And he could increase his speed further by 3 times every 3 minutes up to 3 times before hitting his current physical limit.

As a result, Garyuu lost sight of Erio several times, and barely managed to keep him at bay. Ultimately, the incredible speed and endurance of Erio was the straw that broke the camel's armor.

Meister and Page, Father and Son

Kha and Erio share many similarities:

- Both have red hair.
- Both have a certain lack of common sense in everyday situations.
- Both emphasize speed in their combat styles.
- Both use spear-type devices in their first release mode, and can use swords.
- Both "hear" things.

- Erio hears the whispers of the wind.
- Kha hears the whispers of magic around him.

- Both often find themselves in harems to be the only male in the group.
- Both are, on track record, irresistable to women their age.
- When attacked, both often get injured first over the girls in the team.

And all the general points are canon facts.

Thank your Meister, Erio, for I made you Grand.

Not a lot of crack as well, but can you spot the VA refs in the post?

And can you think of any more things that Kha and Erio are alike?

I knew that picture would end up somewhere sometimes.

Well, I don't know what else I should say, apart from the fact that-



So I guess Kha & Erio have LOTS in common now, eh?

Thank your Meister, Erio, for I made you Grand.

Not a lot of crack as well, but can you spot the VA refs in the post?

And can you think of any more things that Kha and Erio are alike?

I smell more Warcraft refs, especially Chain Lightning and Lightning Shield, oh how I love those

Where did the dansen craze come from?! I'm reporting a epidemic rise in dislocated sacral joints and pelvic hematomas across all anime characters at my clinic!!!

And in other news, Vivio might have Horner's Syndrome. Slight sympathetic nervous damage to the ocular nerve can result in lack of sympathetic stimulation interferring with the development of pigmentation. Advanced surgery beyond our current level of techonology can fixed the affected SP nerves, thus returning her control over her entire face, but as evidence by Vice's little sister and Cinque, the nerves headed into her eye were too delicate to operate on, leaving the Kaiser heterochromatic.

Knowing that I studied medicine so that I can diagnose anime characters? PRICELESS.

I'll put off checking more out tomarrow, when I'm bound to have answers and nitpicks to work on.

For the time being, here's a fill in for FOX.

Spoiler for FOX, rough draft:

Izumi 'FOX' Miyazaki

Spoiler for Fox's BGM:

Spoiler for Fox's Battle Theme:

" Izumi Miyazaki"
CALLSIGN: FOX
RANK: Captain
POSITION: Best Force ATS, Unit 02.
AGE: 14
MAGE CLASS: C (3.7 points average from score sheet.)

Almost from the moment she could walk, Fox has been a most interesting young girl. She has a profound understanding of basic mechanical principles that borders on genius. Barely beyond toy blocks, she has been known to completely dissassemble and reassemble simple devices on her own. By Age Five, her profound understanding allowed her to learn and execute a basic martial arts move just by watching it. Though flawed, it was executed well enough that it was suggested she be enrolled in early self defense courses.
By age nine, she had been enrolled in several courses, and while not a master in any of them, was profficient enough to be quite formidable in hand to hand combat. By now, it was easily noted that she was Impatient, and despite near genius level mechanical ingenuity and application of mechanical force, she couldn't keep up with the theory side, which included bookwork, math, and other non physical materials.
At age twelve, she opted to join the TSAB, and was assigned after her training to the TSA BEST FORCE's Active Test Squadron under Crash. This proved to be quite a good choice. She immediately latched on to the walking demolition derby that is Crash like a big brother.

Izumi currently has extreme proficciency in Jeet Kun Do, Akido, and Jujitsu... Her mechanical skills are well advanced enough that she can predict performances of equipment on sight almost as well as test equipment, making her a good aid to the mechanics, and an astounding vehicle pilot. Though young, she is already an aircraft pilot, and considerably skilled, able to tangle with the likes of the BEST Force's localized vehicle squadrons, Mouse and Yellow. Her proficiency quickly earned her the callsign FOX, after the crafty way in which she used her understanding and translated it directly to combat areodynamics.
Magical Review found that asside from Fox's borderline paranormal understanding of the mechanical, she barely even registers any magical abilities at all.
Noted on the side, it seems that Izumi has a startling ressemblence to a fictional character named Asuka Langley Sorhyu, in both looks, and spunky personality. She has often heralded the nickname 'Second Child', which strikingly fits her position of Unit 02 of the ATS. She also sometimes takes on a momentary attitude of supreme superiority that mirrors her fictional counterpart that Crash has nicknamed the 'Langley Effect'
Izumi has been selectively ranked outside of standard procedure to fill the second-in-command slot under Crash for the roster in the ATS unit by Maj. Gen. Roland. She holds the Officer rank of Captain.

ABILITIES:

Mechanical. If it has moving parts, she can figure it out, in minutes. Often times she can after only doing it once, dissassemble and reassemble mechanical devices faster than those who've worked on them for years.

Martial. While not master rank, she is a black-belt in three hand to hand arts and in the process of learning fencing. She can, and has completely floored Crash for particular insults in single deft moves.

Piloting. She's very good, able to make outdated vehicles perform right up to their envolopes and beyond in ways most pilots are afraid to even attempt. Her short stature also allows her to operate on lower G force diffusion settings, which gives her a better feel for the vehicle's movement through three dimensional space.

The Langley Effect (As dubbed by Crash.)
In moments of superiority, Fox assumes a posture and attitude that makes even the toughest and most stubborn feel humiliated and dehumanized to the point of felling like the moss on the underside of a rock. Of course, with such a position comes an equally vicious possibility of an equally humiliating reversal. She tends to use it only when she feels to have the upper hand in verbal clashes.

OVERALL (MAIN PROFILE AT TOP)

I'm just kind of working in pockets today... don't know why.

EDIT: And just to clarify. Fox's understanding of mechanical force has direct precidence to her physical skills. Understanding the application of transfer of momentum, leverage, and all those fun things are pretty much the CORE of martial-arts. Making her quite frightening. If going bare handed against someone like Vita, who tends to charge and smash, we'd be seeing the most hilarious turnover fight EVER when this (barely registering in magic) character deftly puts Vita (A powerful knight) through a course of throws and grapples... I'm laughing just thinking about it. Redirection of an opponent's force and momentum can be nasty stuff.

[Sheba]

And in other news, Vivio might have Horner's Syndrome. Slight sympathetic nervous damage to the ocular nerve can result in lack of sympathetic stimulation interferring with the development of pigmentation. Advanced surgery beyond our current level of techonology can fixed the affected SP nerves, thus returning her control over her entire face, but as evidence by Vice's little sister and Cinque, the nerves headed into her eye were too delicate to operate on, leaving the Kaiser heterochromatic.

Knowing that I studied medicine so that I can diagnose anime characters? PRICELESS.

Neltharion can be useful at times, and this is indeed one of those few times.

As for the Spawn sounding like the Swarm, that's not surprising. It's a heavy influence, after all. See the bottom of the post for the currently cataloged Spawn forms.

And Ariadne wasn't a who, it was a what.

I'm not sure who it was in the beginning that asked for the exec summary, but something like that would go a long way towards having the idea accepted here in thread. Provided that you give a reason, a good reason as to why you want/need the armour in the first place.

Personally I think that due to the modular nature of the Nanohaverse, it's possible, though unlikely, for powered armor to exist. As I stipulated, it's more cost-effective for a mage to create their own Barrier Jacket/Knight Armor than create one for them; hence why I don't see ATCs or my armors being used extensively.

To their credit, they were able to salvage the good parts of it and have turned it into a storyline that while is outside of the boundaries of canon are still close enough that it is still plausible.

As Goose explained . The first draft of Erusia and the final draft are literally worlds apart.

But the concept behind Erusia's first iteration still float around, in a much different sense.

About Aurion... yes. For some reason, the image of him leaning on two legs kind of stuck on me *shrug*.

As for what happened to Ariadne... well, that's a secret~.

And yes, Glen and Id have this feeling of losing control. The Id of Alpha is slightly different from the Id before.

As for the Cleric boys both senior and newly-minted over the last 8 years, I guess they have all the work cut out for them.

I'd like to think of it of a time when only less than 5 worlds had achieved 'the BARE' minimum of technology and magic to traverse dimensions and even then, it'd takes a LONG time to establish contact and travel the dimensional seas, unlike any of the teleport/2 hours ship ride thing in current timeline. >_<

Ah, at least your reasoning for the fall of Al-Hazared is more... original. Wait'll you see mine XDDD.

Rebuilt of Erio



Hmm... Wrong age?

Spoiler for Erio, Knight Rider:

Erio, Knight Rider

Erio Mondial (エリオ・モンディアル Erio Mondīaru?) is a character in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Along with Caro Ru Lushe, he is one of the many kids that Fate Testarossa met and befriended while on duty, and one of the few that she actively looked after. He resembles his Meister Kha a lot and is the lone male of Division 6's Forward Team. Hae has an unusually solemn personality for a boy and has a certain lack of common sense when it came to elements of an ordinary lifestyle.

He is named after the Suzuki Aerio and for the Ferrari Mondial or the Mondial Piega Strada motorcycle

Rebuilt for StrikerS

At least 6 years prior to StrikerS, Erio was taken away from his parents house. During the incident, he learned that he was an artificial human being created as a product of the Project F. Broken in spirit by the revelation and by being practically throw out by the couple that he had known as parents once they learned that the truth had been discovered, Erio was at the mercy of his captors.

During his tormented captivity of day after day of experimenting and indoctrination, Erio found the companionship of an older boy, a true-bred super soldier Null, someone he would come to regard as his older brother. It was during that dark time where Erio also discovered the voice in the wind, which later Acous would teach him was the voice of Mother Nature awakening another of her blessed Shaman sons.

In a strike of luck however, just as he and Null were about to be culled, he was found and protected by Fate Testarossa and the Grade Frame Exia piloted by Kha. Despite nagging doubts, Fate decided to take care of him shortly after.

Even though he was a legal member of the Harlaown family (since he had Fate as his guardian and Lindy Harlaown as his adoptive parent), Erio was placed under a special protection program by the Time-Space Administration Bureau and made to live at the TSAB's headquarters until he was 8 years-old. Not that it mattered; it made it easier for Kha and Fate to take care of him when they were there for pre- and post-mission deployment phases, which was very often for the busy couple.

Under the tutelage of first Fate and later Kha after the events of Cente Gravia, Erio eventually learned magic and the way of the Belka, and joined the Time-Space Administration Bureau's forces.

The Way of the Wind

Unlike Kha, Erio was not meant to be a Cleric-knight, but instead his mana affinity for Nature together with his talent of listening to the wind made him perfect to be a Shaman which were even rarer amongst the devout Belka. Acous, a Restoration Shaman himself, teaches Erio whatever Kha can’t, and schools him to be a promising force of natural balance. Acous is thinking that Erio could be meant for specializing as an Enhancement Shaman, one focused on the reinforced of the body to be a guardian of the elemental spirits.

Whatever the case, by the time when Operation StrikerS was due to begin, he was a young Private 2nd Class ranked "B" as a mage, and a freshly minted Rank-20 Page with a Probational Operation Licence, allowing him to gain Stars to rank up further in the hands-on rating systems that the Belka use to accredit their Knights and Meisters.

It is not known why does the wind has a penchant of whispering to Erio whenever he is near a young girl in distress...

I Am Lightning

Once transferred to the Mobile Division 6, Erio was placed under the command of his former guardian in the Lightning Squad and code-named "Lightning 3". It has been hinted that he and his squad-partner and technically adopted sister, Caro, are developing a romantic relationship.

At the end of the series, Erio asks to transfer to the TSAB-administrated world No. 61 and works with Caro at its planetary wildlife preservation. They live on-site, along with the recovering Kia, Quint, and Megane. Lutecia and Garyuu would be transferred on-planet, followed soon by the Numbers who were discovered to be Kha’s half-sisters.

Powers

Erio is a user of the Modern-Belka magic system, which complements the capacities of the original Belka system with traits of the Mid-Childa system. During his training, Erio received some tutoring from Fate, Kha and Acous, consequently learning a few of their spells.

Erio's specialties lies in electric-based elemental magic and high-speed close combat (probably also due Fate's and Kha’s training). Because of that, he was given the position of Guard Wing of the Forward Team, where he is supposed provide quick support to all his allies, regardless of their position in the battlefield. Erio possess a spear-like Armed Device named Strada.

Like Kha, Erio learned several tricks about stealth, and has a pair of shoes that can transform himself into an older individual. However, knock those shoes off and he changes back. He uses them to drive around in Kha’s vehicles.

And like the Meister, Erio learned some things about sniping as well.

Telepathy - Just like how it is the case with the Ancient-Belka System, Modern-Belka users usually have access to this ability.

Defensive Abilities

Barrier Jacket - Being a user of the Modern-Belka System, Erio's defensive outfit is referred as a Barrier Jacket instead of Knight Armour. It resembles Fate's Impulse Form Barrier Jacket thanks to the white overcoat and the steel shoes. As for everything else, it was derived from the same Jacket that Kha wore before he switched to Knight Armors.

Sonic Move - One of Fate's original spells that was passed down to Erio, it increases his speeds for a short period of time and allows almost instantaneous movement.

Lightning Shield - This temporary all-round barrier works like Fate's Thunder Arm, but covers all of Erio instead of just the arm. It also has 5 orbs that are consumed when the shield is struck, returning the attack with a bolt of lightning.

Offensive Abilities

Poetry World - Erio's attempt at a Reality Marble like attack. It was supposed to trap an enemy within a space that obeyed his own rules, but what happened was that the curious boy ended up creating a giant mana explosion that left him dazed but fortunately unhurt. That misadventure from attempting to copy his Meister earned him one of the harshest scolding from a worried Fate cracking under stress and borderline clinical depression.

In StrikerS, he never used the attack, but continues to attempt at creating the skill, this time under Kha's supervision.

Leutendes Licht (Brilliant Light) - Erio's sniping attack learned from Kha. While he is not as accurate as Kha, he's reasonably proficient and can swing by on ropes and cut powerlines while shooting. He does a stunt like that, hammering 3 shots into the Ganman-like Type-5 and downing it by the time he swooped past.

Blitz Schraube (Lightning Bolt) - A basic lightning spell taught by Acous allowing Erio to throw a bolt of lightning from his fist. Erio combos this skill with other attack and slashes as it is instant cast.

Kettenblitz (Chain Lightning) - Another lightning spell taught by Acous. Erio unleashes a bolt of lightning that jumps to nearby targets, allowing him to destroy several Gadgets at once.

Luftmesser - Using magic to compress and accelerate the air around Strada, Erio creates blades of wind and throws them at the target.

Speerangriff (Spear Attack) - Another spell learnt from Kha. Strada ignites its main thrusters in order to drive Erio in a high-speed charge attack, making it similar to Vita's Raketen Hammer. If compared to the Raketen Hammer however, it is impossible to acquire the necessary acceleration power unless there is a minimum distance between the targets.

Speerschneiden - The attack that cut a bridge apart in the third episode of StrikerS, its name was revealed in the DVD's booklet. Though it has a great attack power, its charging time makes it unsuitable for a direct battle. Instead, it is usually used as an obstacle remover.

Stahlmesser (Narrow Claw) - A blade of magical energy extends itself from Strada's tip and is then used to cut the target. Used in episode 05 of StrikerS against a Type-III Gadget Drone. It’s due to notice that the pink color that the blade presented at the said time was due to Caro's Twin Boost spell.

Thunder Rage - Another spell learned from Fate, Erio's variation is classified as a Magic-Enhanced Attack-type spell since a skydiving melee strike precedes the magic thunderbolts. (When Strada in Thunderstorm form in episode 17.)

Shiden Issen (Lightning Flash) - A variation of one of Signum's technique. As opposed to Signum who covers Laevatein's blade in flames to increase its attack power, Erio concentrates electrical energy in his fist and punches the enemy to deliver an electric blast.

LIMITER BREAK: Granado es Strada

Perfect Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnfNA2GZMrY

Because the Zamber Blade was too heavy for little Erio to wield, Erio sought to find another method to break through Garyuu's speed and the insect cloud. And true to his Meister's words about thinking out of the box, Erio did it.

Instead of the usually over-sized nature of Limiter Breaks, Erio's was puny, in fact, Strada shrunk during Full Release, into a gladius-like two-hander with Strada's spearhead lenghtening to that of a sword, the rest of the head becoming it's core, and the hilt shrinking to just enough room for him to grasp with both hands. At the end of Strada is a half-chopped bike chain.

His Barrier Jacket changes appearance, to Sonikferm. His Jacket becomes closed by a button in the front, he gets longer pants, and the tails of the jacket becomes tattered, as seen in the above video.

The logic behind Granado es Strada (or Strada, You Are Grand in Latin) was that by releasing all his mana channels, then transmuting more of Strada's mass to mana, then compressing the rest into a more solid blade, Erio created a blade that was 3 times sharper then before, and he himself boosting his speed by 3 times. And he could increase his speed further by 3 times every 3 minutes up to 3 times before hitting his current physical limit.

As a result, Garyuu lost sight of Erio several times, and barely managed to keep him at bay. Ultimately, the incredible speed and endurance of Erio was the straw that broke the camel's armor.

Meister and Page, Father and Son

Kha and Erio share many similarities:

- Both have red hair.
- Both have a certain lack of common sense in everyday situations.
- Both emphasize speed in their combat styles.
- Both use spear-type devices in their first release mode, and can use swords.
- Both "hear" things.

- Erio hears the whispers of the wind.
- Kha hears the whispers of magic around him.

- Both often find themselves in harems to be the only male in the group.
- Both are, on track record, irresistable to women their age.
- When attacked, both often get injured first over the girls in the team.

And all the general points are canon facts.

Thank your Meister, Erio, for I made you Grand.

Not a lot of crack as well, but can you spot the VA refs in the post?

And can you think of any more things that Kha and Erio are alike?

The only joke I think I spot is the Brilliant Light spell; his use of it mimics the way Yoko uses her rifle in TTGL.

At least there aren't any Chiri references in it.

Spoiler for OFM Report: Encountered Spawn Forms:

Form 1: Infection Form


The smallest and most numerous of the Spawn forms encountered. An Infection form is about the size of a slightly oversized chihuahua, complemented by a thin carapace and gnashing teeth, along with those two massive scythes it has for dorsal arms.

All Spawn forms have a resiliency to magic, and the Infection Form is no different. An Infection form has been observed to take C-rank spells with surprising effectiveness considering its size, and some Infection Forms have been observed taking an A-rank spell's damage and somehow surviving. However, like all Spawn, they show a weakness to physical and mass-based attacks; even a single round from an MA5C will kill an Infection Form.

The Infection Form is so named for its ability to produce viscous green biomass from its mouth and scythes, which can infect and mutate people, zombifying them into what are called Human Combat Forms.. Coupled with their own ability to infect people using their bodies, further enhancing their abilities than simple infection.

Form 2: Human Combat Form


Usually encountered where there are Infection Forms, the Human Combat Form is a much more formidable adversary than the standard Infection Form. Human Combat Forms usually resemble whoever it is they used to be, though usually the Spawn has no regard for the human body and modifies it to its will.

Like the Infection Form, the Human Combat Form has a surprising resiliency to magic, able to withstand a B-rank Spell easily, though like the Infection Form they occasionally show a heavy resistance to higher-ranked spells. Their primarily weak to mass-based weapons; usually ones that have a high or heavy burst output. The Battle Rifles can take them out from a distance given time, but the Sniper Rifle is so powerful it simply blows through the Combat Form without really harming it. The Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles are very effective against the Human Combat Form, but the Shotgun is the best, almost always literally blowing apart the Human Combat Form.

Some Human Combat Forms are truly frightening; some are able to wield Storage Devices as clubs, but others have shown enough control to actually cast spells. How they manage this is unknown at the time, but frightening nontheless.

Form 3: Unknown Combat Form


A far less encountered but much more dangerous Combat Form, the UCF is a monster to behold. Standing a full 3 meters tall, the Unknown Form seems to be based off of some monster from times long ago, and only show up when in areas with heavy Infestation. The Combat form is extremely powerful, and a single swipe with its bladed hand can overturn a Warthog.

The magic resiliency for the Unknown form is very high, able to withstand a B-rank spell several times before capitulating. Their sheer mass makes it difficult for mass-based weapons to harm them, though it also makes them heavily vulnerable to Sniper Rifles. Sustained bursts or two shots from a Shotgun are sufficient in downing one.

Other than that, the Unknown Form has no real strengths.

Form 4: Carrier Form


A peculiar creature, usually created when a Combat Form is too damaged for battle. Standing at 2 meters tall and obviously very wide, the Carrier Form is known for running into battle, exploding, and releasing up to five Infection Forms. Resiliency is weak to everything. Just don't stand within 5 meters when the thing explodes.

Form 5: Hydralisk Form


A rarely encountered form (fortunately), the Hydralisk form is an extremely deadly variant of Spawn encountered in nests and biomass cores. The Hydralisk is a huge monster, two and a half-meters tall and weighing up to two-hundred kilograms. Its primary weapons are its scythe-arms and hundreds of poisonous spines it can hydraulically fire.

Resiliency is heavy. The Hydralisk has been observed to tank up to AA-rank spells easily, and one Hydralisk was reported to have tanked an S-rank spell, though this is unconfirmed. On the mass-based side, it is recommended to use Battle Rifles and Sniper rifles to engage the Hydralisk, as their range makes it unable to strike you with its scythe-arms. If you must engage in melee, use the Shotgun and aim for the head.

Perhaps its most deadly ability is its intelligence. Hydralisks are the coordinators of the Spawn, and have been observed directing units into battle (see Ariadne).

Form 6: Ultralisk Form


The most frightening Spawn Form to date. The Ultralisk is a massive walking behemoth at least the size of a Scorpion tank, though massive beasts twice the size have been observed. Their primary weapon are two large blades on their tusks.

Fortunately the most rare of forms to date, the Ultralisk is truly a tank. Nothing short of space-bound beam cannons are believed to harm it when it comes to magic, and only sustained fire from a Scorpion's main cannon can injure an Ultralisk. The last time one was encountered took 3 Scorpions to down, each firing in tandem.

The only weakness of an Ultralisk is its slowness; even a Scorpion can outrun the Ultralisk.
