@ Treme - Don't you have male IS pilots? Kinda says something as well.

Admittedly, I like to make Male IS pilot look like a joke, is that a problem? Other than the fact that I had something against them?

.....

Edit: The Truth: I am just practicing/playing around with certain male archetype characters (just in case I am planning to use them in an original story)

Moar Edit:
Namely
A guy who looked like a girl,
A effeminate guy
A guy who is never sexually aroused
Ligis.... is supposed to be a guy with a dark past without showing sign of it.

[ZeroXSEED]

Destroy the AI of course. Even if alternate interpretation is used, it can easily break down to

1. Fulfilling her wish (As she is, well, a she, human-like entity with a wish)
2. Eliminating potential threat (When an AI became distressed, they also have the same potential to SNAP)
3. Kill her to free her from potentially eternal torment (being used FOR SCIENCE, of course)
4. etc.

Of course, alternate is alternate, the reason can be selfish or outright insane. Unless there's third option for unsealing her safely.

[Eratas123]

@'Sempai - Has Laura ever fought people in a real operation?

[Eratas123]

@ Treme - Making them jokes doesn't mean they're incompetent or worthless. Unless they absolutely do nothing and make the story worse no matter what they do, then that's just a bad character with no purpose other than be an ass. Patrick Star from Spongebob has become this.

[ZeroXSEED]

No explanation .

But from her monologue, seems like she never involved in any military operation for real.

[agetreme]

.... Nah, I am not that bad....

Both male OC pilot will have their own moment of awesomeness....

I lied about making them a joke

The truth is mentioned in the edit: I am just trying out/testing out their personality type.

Frankly speaking I had never done effeminate guy/ guy looked like a girl scenario before.... Guy usually stays as a guy.

[Eratas123]

@ Treme - I do effeminate guys, but it usually plays a part in the story isn't a good thing.

@ Senpai - Is there anything at all that she isn't good in in combat? ST edition, please.

[ZeroXSEED]

Laura is pathetic in a battle involving large melee weapon due to her body size, much to her chagrin. Ichika, Houki and Chifuyu is deadly efficient with I.S. blade (but then again Houki's weapon is smaller), Laura.... flailing herself around like an idiot trying to use Uchigane sword (overstatement)

Admittedly, Rin and other girls has similar problem, but they knew not to try.

Joan's real gender is played for laugh
Alex's situation is additional plot
new effeminate male character.....justified as in he is a performer/artisan, he just playing out a role given to him by god (being born with a bishounen face)

[Eratas123]

@ Senpai - Doesn't she have super strength?

@ Treme - What's the focus of the story, anyway?

[ZeroXSEED]

Super strength is useless if you have no power to brace against the inertia of the sword. Heavy build usually help counter the inertia effect. Basically, Ichika is strong AND heavy enough to hold it, while Chifuyu use her experience and Inertia to her advantage (using a swing technique), Houki is a combination of both, using smaller weapon and technique.

Laura has.... super strength, who backfire as faster swing means more force to pull.

[DarkJak2050]

Alright, I need a refreshment on the ages of the class years of IS Academy. Is it like this?

1st Years: 15-16 Years Old
2nd Years: 16-17 Years Old
3rd Years 17-18 Years Old

[Eratas123]

@'Jak - That's right.

@ Senpai - Doesn't her IS deal with the inertia?

Going home, be back in an hour.

[ZeroXSEED]

@ Jak
Yes, around that.

@ Eras

Doesn't mean she can use it without partial summon. I was talking about pure physical prowess.

Rin said BFS wielding was useless in normal circumstances, but when it comes to Ichika, there's no such thing as normal circumstances

Some alternative universe where politics are a little different..
Character's name： Shirogane Yuuya (Money if you find out how I made this name)
Gender: Male
Looks : Very Fit, Average then Tall Height.
Alignment :
Personality: Distrustful, Quiet, Grey Morality, Tsundere (Vegeta...lol.)
Powers : Only biological match for his IS-TSFhybrid.
Background : One of the only biological match for the custom made revolutionary IS-TSF hybrid. TSF were previously used bipedal mechs, TACTICAL STRIKE FIGHTERS. They became obsolete after the release of IS.

Several Super Alliances developed this IS-TSF hybrid, also known as TSS, Tactical Strike Stratos. It's main software was developed by USSA (United States of South America), Primary mechanical parts and the cores were supplied by AF (Atlantic Federation), and the rest of the parts were all covered by the SAU (South African Union). It was a highly secretive joint project, made to counter the IS, and to possibly put the TSF back in use.

Tactical Strike Stratos has several advantages over a IS.
Completely protects the User, with several layers of revolutionary plasma shielding, with armor that can easily defend against gravity shots, railguns, and most, if not all beam weaponry.

Extremely agile, almost as agile as a third generation IS. Speed is limited not due to technical limits, but due to biological frailty of the human body. It can be adjusted for physically strong humans. Can temporarily be raised to extremely high levels at situations where the user deems is life threatening. When raised to high levels, it can easily outspeed any IS, but if used for longer then 5 seconds, the user will experience possible loss of limbs, severe brain damage, numerous broken bones in the fibula and ribs.

Short Range Offensive capabilities are unparalleled to any IS, albeit risky due to all shielding turned off for energy compensation. Functions as what is called a "Glass Cannon".


However, it has several disadvantages

TSS is very rare, and requires use of 2 cores to make. Requires a specialist technician for maintained. Unpractical for generic warfare.
The user must be of incredibal physique, mentally and physically to handal the machine.
In addition, the TSS must do a biological match to the user, which will test its genetics marking and will automatically lock itself onto the user, which results it being only possible to be used by 1.
TSS is also very limited in long range offensive capabilities, although defensively strong, can be destroyed if attacked by several 3rd generation IS.

When short range offensive capabilities are activated, User will die with any attack from short, long, and medium range IS weaponry.


Shirogane Yuuya is sent to the IS academy for data collection, to see how well the acclaimed TSS does against the new 3rd Generation IS. He is told to attempt to befriend as many 3rd generation IS owners as possible, for statistical data results.

Disgusted at Ichika's denseness, in addition to his weak physical strength. Befriends Laura easily, and they easily share empathy toward each-other.

He is able to defeat most, 3rd Generation IS with ease. He is able to fight on par with Houki and Ichika in their best forms. 2nd Generation IS are not a even a match for him. However, if usually Houki or Ichika pairs with another 3rd Gen IS user, he is usually cornered.




I was really bored..Spare me if it was bad.

[ZeroXSEED]

*Sigh*

Security loopholes gone mad, that is.

[demino_hellsin]

@zero: There is a way... but it's mostly for lol and it gives Byakushiki a huge drawback. Well not that huge.

.

The tech is a little better than the previous one.

He is able to defeat most, 3rd Generation IS with ease. He is able to fight on par with Houki and Ichika in their best forms. 2nd Generation IS are not a even a match for him. However, if usually Houki or Ichika pairs with another 3rd Gen IS user, he is usually cornered.

This is my interpretation of the statement: Your character has advanced technology but no skill and is fully depend on his advance technology to win.

Is this correct?

[DarkJak2050]

And they said that security at IS Academy's the upmost importance...

Look what has happened in the first term and the beginning of the second term.

[ZeroXSEED]

@ Demi
Elaborate

@ Jak
Hence I said it's gone mad, so wrong that even fic writers acknowledge lack of proper security.

@ Anyone
Did you guys ever speculating how Ichika can pilot I.S. (besides "Tabane did it")?
