Well a typical battle when the core switch is used:

Spoiler for length:

Enemy: *parries flurry of invisible sword strikes* A girl? How did you change?
Sakura: *gruff voice* Such knowledge is your enemy.

*pregnant pause*

Sakura: *bursts out giggling, normal voice* Oh I always sound sooo cool when I do that!
Kha: [Oi quit fooling around.]
Enemy: Don't take me lightly!!!
Sakura: *smiley eyes narrow into a glare, then lashes out suddenly*
Enemy: HU-AHH!
Sakura: *advances menacingly towards the others* Let's be friends...
Kha: [I really should tell Chario to stop mixing RH with the other IDs...]

In the end, she just mimicks whatever character comes to mind, except Saber-impersonation occurs most often. I certainly don't mind Aurion going about his mischief. Let's see what you see, like I always say. As for the oni-chan thing, unless someone clues him in he might totally miss the joke and think why is everyone laughing (if they are) when Fate's just greeting her older brother. In situations like this, Whispers is of no help in revealing what's going on.



Hmm... The Device itself has no more space to cram that inside, but the Libram, which follows the mage in spirit form, can accomodate it...

Sakura: [Father! Can I have it? Please! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease--] *silent mode*

Which would mean Sakura can materialize the Libram anytime she wants entertainment, and that might be in the wrong places. Luckily the Libram can be locked under Kha's control. But then this scenario could happen at the workshop:

Spoiler for A Day at the Workshop:

Sakura: [I'm so bored-attebayo!] *summons Libram, flips open and loads "Lucky Stars"*
Rein: Nani-nani? *watches OP* Sou this one desu. Hayate-chan's teaching the Knights how to do this.
RH: [I cannot loss the memory of Zafira in spandex.]
Bard: [Yes Sir.]
Sakura: [Can you say something else, Bardiche?]
Bard: [Yes Sir.]
Sakura: [That was exactly the same thing!]
Bard: [...Yes Sir.]
Sakura: [Mou! You's so square! I wonder how did RH-san withstand you long enough to make those for 4 children of yours.]
Bard: [...]
RH: *menacingly* [I... can be shot, Sakurazaki...]
Sakura: [And I can be fired you flat chested--]
Rein: *slaps both devices with a conjured harisen* Enough desu! Don't destroy the base!
Both: [Hai...]

*more brainless anime watching while Chario repairs the 4 junior devices*

Durandal: [Can we switch to something else? This is freezing my circuits...]
Sakura: [Freeze? Your circuits? Are you running a fever?]
Durandal: [My systems are blue.]
Sakura: [I can't tell whether that is good or bad...] *Lucky Stars shut off* [What shall I put on?]

*Chario's table erupt into cacophony*

Mach Caliber: *rushing steam sounds* [Gaogaigar!]
Cross Mirage: [No! X-Men!]
Sakura: [I don't have X-Men...]
Keyrikeion: [How about Pretty Cure 5?]
Strada: [Kamen Rider 555 please.]
Sakura: [Erm... Let's see...]
MC: [I want GGG! I want FINAL FUSION! I want...]
CM: [Don't you have Grenadier?]
Strada: [GGG's not too bad...]
KY: [But I haven't got a chance to watch Pre--]
MC+CM: [SHUT UP!]
KY: [Waaa...]
RH: [CHILDREN!!! BE NICE!]

*silence*

All 4: [Sorry...]
Sakura: [Ooh. You admitted it yourself. G-job!]
RH: [Sakurazaki...]
Bard: [You shouldn't be violent, Sir...]
RH: [Twitch]
Sakura: [Ahahahaha...!]
Rein: *intervenes again* Naughty devices get the fist!
Both: [Hai...]

Boy did that remind me of the weird Pikachu adventures. Pardon the mild OOCness. Btw RH and Sakura usually get along fine, its just that Sakura likes to create mayhem for fun, and it eats into RH's definition of freindship...

@Lowe: Haha... TSAB owns all interdimensional outposts but to earn more money they sell some of their unused bandwidth to civilian contractors for communications purposes, like cross-dimension cable. It's just that some stations have horrible reception, which is very common for cable like these, and that creates the LLLLQ raws that MC fans complain about. Sounds familiar? I'm sure.

But... Kay's 3 devices have such synergy... I see Sakura setting Shinji off on some frenzy and leaving Asuka to stop him while she hangs around laughing... I wonder what Rey would do?

Taken together, people would start asking Aurion and Chario why are they wearing ear-muffs in a laboratory dealing with quiet and delicate devices.

@dragon: Have you seen the 4komas Skane, Chaos and I been spamming? Well yeah you're not alone.

Are you telling me that you made the newbies' devices RH and Bardiche's kids???? Unexpected ^^UU. Nice antics btw. (Although Sakurazaki and RH don't seem to get along ) Oh: Harisen-mode Rein = Priceless

I know. I based their encounter on Nanoha & Yuuno's meeting, since that's how I planned to have them related to each other.

I know, the Arthurian influence is quite heavy (the family tree, the bloodline, the sword, blah-blah-blah). And I find your last statement a bit.... intriguing?

You and Sakura better get prepared. Alexandra's swordskill is quite blunt.

Quick Recap and Updates:

Spoiler for Ashton Marten: Still pending.:

Name: Ashton Marten Mcdouglas
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Birthday: February 29
Hair: Brown, low-cropped, often messy but when needed, his comb is not to far away, straightening it.
Eyes: Astral Blue- Similar to Subaru's.
Build: Medium build, strong arms and legs.
Height: 5'9"
Weight: he does not say, for fear of reprisals from girls.
Home World: Mid-childa
Magic System: Dei-Type (In Anime terms, it would be a gatekeeper's gate seal, with some Cyrillic Characters ringing around it.)
Magic Color: Green.
Mage Rank: BB+
Personality: A somewhat happy disposition. Loves acting cool but he sometimes doubts Himself. Loves to pester Subaru (and Subaru pesters back) and Tia is annoyed by the sight of him. He's neutral when it comes to Elio and Carol. Almost zealot-like but does not follow orders often, making him end up in trouble, sometimes.
Affiliation: Time-Space Administraion Bureau, Mobile Division 6 with the First Exatactical Group, Cross Squadron Under Hayate Yagami, TSABS Silvana. Call Sign "Cross 3".
Device: Praesulus (Latin for 'Director')
Device Type: Key Device, Combat Boost Support
Description: It resembles a jeweled, less armored white version of the right-hand Revolver Knuckle, though without the 'revolver', thus making it akin to Carol's BD (boost device). It has a clear crystal cross about 2"x 1.3" in area on the top of it, surrounded by four red stones at the corners.
Device History: In a previous mission of the trio, before the apperance of the Gadget Drones, they have managed to recover a group of devices known as 'Key Devices', devices that were held in mytical status in legends in all the dimensions- with powers beyond that of the established. So far, only a handful of these devices were ever activated, much less on Bureau Recruits. This is also the device from which Carol's device is based from, based on a research paper crafted from an illusive Bureau Admiral- also ranting that Uninterfaced mages (mages who have no devices- Like Yuuno), the only kinds who can easily cast supporting spells are few and far between . The device found its way into Ashton's hands when it went missing from the reseach lab when said person was about to recruit into the bureau- it turns out that Key Devices seek out their respective "keepers" when needed.

Offensive Skills:
- Since this device is for support reasons, the number of offensives it can manage is low, but he can still fight with other methods.

Kinetic Dart: basically generates and fires off a powerful dart made of physical matter, thus bypassing AMF fields. Can also be steered to hit the target anywhere.
Lancet: generates a medium-length metal lance from the device, allowing the user to hack and slash. Can also bypass AMF due to the physical nature of the weapon.

Defensive Skills:

Agile Shield: basically a seal shield, in the likes of round guard or plate shield, but can be moved faster.
Agile Guard: basically similar to protection, but can be used while moving at full speed.

Support Skills:
- the forte of a supporter mage! several of the skills are akin to Carol's, since this being the device Carol's was based upon. though some Carol-centric abilites are clearly lacking.

Deflect: a shield enhancement that can deflect shots at some degree.
Reflect: a shield enhancement that can reflect shots by chance.
Accura (Accurate Cura): a healing spell that regenerates exactly 10% of a person's health per second.
Raise: increases defensive value of a target
Tune: increases accuracy and critical hit value of a target
Strech: increases range capability of a target. He uses this on Nanoha to enable her to snipe even farther with DB-X.
Haste: increases movement and attack speeds of a target for a time limit.
Hang: attempts to freeze the enemy targeted in its tracks. if sucessful, the target stops, slows down and speeds up randomly.
Drain: attempts to sap the enemy of his/her/its strength. if sucessful, targets suddenly tires or shuts down.
Block: attempts to bar the enemy's movement by putting up a wall of force, if sucessful the target hits the wall and gets damged and stops.
Boost Line: generates a pair of magic boost rails, allowing those inside of it to speed up movement- akin to a railgun. When used in conjunction with Subaru's Wing Road, it becomes a catapult, boosting those being 'launched'. He uses this on any ranged attack to further increase attacking power- one time he used it on Nanoha, making her Accel Shooter shots feel like Divine Buster hits on the enemy end- the same effect also occured with Tia. He also uses this on Erio to not just wreck one, but six AMF+APF (Anti-magic+Anti-physical field, called an I-field) drones with one move.
Gap Generator: the bane of all AMF emmitting devices! similar to Carol's field invalider, this spell generates a gap in the AMF field present, enabling those inside the gap to use magic, as if the AMF was not there.

History:
Much of his history was like that of a normal mid-childan child, happy family, happy life- a relative nobody, until he recruited in the bureau. After being caught with the Key device, he was monitored closely and educated separately- due to the still unknown nature of the device with him. during his academy days, he had also heard about the duo of Nakajima and Lanstar- the 'non-standard duo' as he called them. He graduated a realative commoner and was assigned to the mysterious ship Silvana, under the command of the illusive Admiral Kyla, the same admiral who submitted the paper on support magic. While on board, he and the crew of the ship had heard the events of MD6 and the Relics, but unfortunately, a much as Chrono or Carim would like, the ship was in a top secret mission, hunting a rumored X-class criminal called 'Fangwang'. A year later, MD6 was tasked by the chain of command to work with the Silvana on the case it was handling. Admiral Kyla took temporary command of MD6 in the process- being a higher authority than Hayate- thus enabling Hayate to join Nanoha and Fate in the sky once more- with two new subordinates as well- Him and another Dei-type warrior. But he has a secret in his lineage- he was one of the few recorded cases of being a 'reactive', a person who can fuse with another, turning into his/her weapon- and one of the forward stars will experience it- Final Fusion anyone?

Spoiler for Kyla Scrya: Updated:

Name: Kyla Scrya
Age: 37
Gender: Female
Birthday: July 12, Midchildan feast of Danaan.
Hair: Light Golden yellow, waist length.
Eyes: Grass Green
Build: even at her age, she's still desirable, with body statistics similar to Lindy.
Height: 5'9"
Weight:
Homeworld: Mid-childa
Magic System: Terra Variant Mid-Type
Magic Color: Green
Mage Rank: S+
Personality: She's a typical commanding tsundere.
Affiliation: Commander, First Exatactical Command and 106th transport division (known whimsically as the 'Phantom Maids'), Time-Space Administration Bureau, TSABS Silvana.
Device: Vulcan (named after a gattling-type gun of the same name), The "Gun of Resolve"
Device Type: Sealed / Key Device, Rapid Ranged Attack
Description: Akin to the handheld gattling gun of some games (image later), a six-barrel, 3000RPM, 2000RPM gattling cannon, firing neutral kinetic energy pulses, thereby bypassing AMF effects.

Spoiler for Snapshot of the Device under the previous Keeper- with 'Core Jacket' on:

- pardon but this screenie is the closest i can show you without drawing- which i don't ace at- really, i can't draw to save my life.

Device History: This device is a 'Sealed Device', a device that symbolizes a certain power of magic, as well as the medium in which the stability of the multiverse has been locked into during its creation. Being as such, anyone who holds one of the nine devices- a one-handed sword, a two-handed sword, a shield, a spear, a gun, a bow, a jewel, a staff and a book; can manipulate part of the laws of magic itself, bending it to his or her will. This device was found in a cache of device fragments while she and two of her fellow aces were investigating a Lost Logia case on Earth. at first, she didn't know that the crystal cross- the device on standby mode, was one of the devices they were looking for, and instead, she wore it like a piece of jewelry. After the team was broken up due to a fellow teammate retirng for married life, it suddenly activated during a sudden scramble, making the once melee natural mage to now take up the gun. After she had risen up to the position, she barely uses the device, due to a secret- and then, The new Aces come in...


Modes:

Gun Mode: The basic form of Vulcan. it's normal attack are simple shots of energy.

Mode Skills:
-Shotgun Burst: Fires all barrels at once, shot akin to a shotgun and similar to the Metal Storm system. Consumes one cartridge per release.
-Dance of the Gunner: 'Dances' and fires wildly, scattering shells into the area around her and the target. consumes 2 cartridges per release.
-Eagle Crusher: Fires ten charged shells in rapid succession, enabling it to shatter shields by chance and possibly pulverize the target due to the force of the shells. consumes 3 cartridges for release.

Launcher Mode: The device's barrels close up and only a singular hole in the middle of the barrel assembly appears, enabling the gun to basically become a magic bazooka, shooting 'rockets' of homing energy, the damage rate may be affected a bit by AMF, but still can deliver a hurting shot when it hits. the greatest drawback though is each shot consumes a cartridge per shot and the recoil can easily tire her.

Mode Skills:
-Powered Shot: a powerful focused shot of an energized missile.
-Cluster Bomb: an attack that fires a missile over an area and blows above the target, hitting the target in smaller damaging explosions. consumes one cartridge per release.
-Hyperblast: a much more powerful version of the Powered Shot, taking more energy and enabling the attack to do splash damage. consumes 3 cartridges, one for starting, one for charging and one for release.

Siege Mode: while in launcher mode, it can deploy a siege frame that encloses Vulcan in a mechanical shroud, enabling the gun/launcher to fire faster and much more powerful, but disabling the mage's movement (though she can aim in place) and ability to dodge, as the combined device and frame are too ungainly for movement.

Mode Skills:
-Compound Siege: a powerful, charged shot using the siege frame's booster to provide attack power and projectile speed.
-Cluster Blast: an attack similar to Cluster Bomb, but instead of blowing up above the target, the shot exits the barrel already clustered, spreads out towards the target/s and blows them up- a much more powerful version of the Shotgun Burst in a sense.
-Chain Rockets: a powerful shot of not just one, but three highly charged, extremely energetic rockets, boosted by the siege frame's booster and also by the magic power of Kyla. it consumes all seven cartridges of the clip- 1 for opening, 1 for charging, 2 for boosting and the last 3 for shooting the rockets themselves.

Normal Spells/Skills:
- Agile Shield: basically a relative of the round guard and round shield, but can be used while moving and in high speed.
-Evasive Guard: a relative of Protection and Defencer, though can be raised while moving and in high speed.
-Chant of the Gunner: a special song than allows her to be proficient with her device.

History:
Pre- Nanoha / A's
Born in the 26th administrated world, she was born as Kyla Kiramena, third daughter of the imperial priestess serving the emperor of that planet. As she was the third daughter, luckily tradition had stated that she no longer had to follow the footsteps of her mother and thus was allowed to choose her career, unlike her two older twin sisters- well both had liked the temple life and thus had decided to serve as priestesses. When she was four, she began to lean from her mother, the ancient magical arts, passed down from generation to generation- whether or not the child became a priestess or not. At age seven, she got her first glimpse of the Mid-childa system during an educational exchange between her school and one in that said system, where she lived and studied for an entire school year. Awed by the potential of magic during her exchange, she began to dig thru libraries and even her family's sacred archive, to learn other things about magic. And at age 9, she began to self-teach, what to her a new way of using magic, but was actually a higher and secret level of art in her family- Martial Magic. At ten, she was caught in her self-lesson sessions and instead of being reprimanded, she was praised for doing it. When asked what she wanted to be, she replied with only one line.
"I want to be a midchildan mage, and i'll be happy about it."
And with those words, she was once again sent to that system, but now she was going to live under the care of an uncle who was visiting them. Years pass and then, she entered the only non-military group that can train her to become a proper mage- the Time-Space Administration Bureau. During the day of admission, she had been assigned to room and group 14, along with two other newbies, Lindy Marksen, a midchildan citizen and a certain Momoko Kagurazaka, from a world she calls 'Terra'. And so began the training- in which batchmates had called Kyla the 'Martial Angel', the only one in the batch, who has no device- her teammate Lindy had a staff called 'Fairy Star' and Momoko had a nameless gold and red orbed device- which Kyla had affectionately called the 'Heart'. It was only at graduation when she got her first device, a pair of simple, power boosting bracelets- only holding her barrier jacket- called 'Elements'. Years pass by and team 14 eventually became the 'Gold Squad', with Lindy as the leader, with thier ship assignment the TSABS Starbreaker, under the command of Commodore Rhea Telostos. They began to gain popularity in the same way as the Aces of today (Nanoha, Fate and Hayate), successfully completing missions, no matter hard it was. Kyla then signed up for leave after the team was formally disbanded, with Momoko leaving for married life and Lindy going to command school, returning back to her planet for rest. It was there that she had met Mertholo or simply Mertho Scrya, a prominent archaeologist who was doing an excavation of her family home's garden after a new landscaping project had uncovered several artifacts. During her six months at home, she began to have a relationship with the young archaeologist, but he failed to secure a romantic one as she went back to tackle a request from her previous commander- Command School.
She finally met up with Lindy, who was now engaged and a pending ship captain. and in less time that Lindy took command school, she had managed to finish it with high marks, thus somehow ousting the next eligible ship captain candidate out of his spot. Kyla was given the Starbreaker and Lindy was assigned to be her vice- while assignments for the new bureau ship classes were being drawn up. it was also at this time when the young Scrya that she had met at home was also assigned during her first mission- paving the way for a romantic, off the scene relationship- which ended up in a double marriage for both commanding officers- and also leading to the "birth" of her son- but she hides a secret about that. Years later, with Lindy assigned to one of the newest ships of the bureau, she continued to ace up her missions, usually involving catching criminals and such- and on this note, the newly established bureau council had now asked her to lead a new unit- the First Exatactical Group or 1X as it was called by common agents. When the Starbreaker was finally retired, she assumed an office command post- hearing such stories such as the Jewel seeds and the Book of Darkness. And then, two years later, in one of the most dangerous missions ever undertaken, Kyla meets the Aces for the first time- the mission, stop a rampaging Lost Logia ship- the future TSABS Silvana.

- other details are still under scrutiny for canonical alignment -

Post StrikerS
The First Exatactical group, was currently in a mission to capture a rumored X-Class mage criminal called Fangwang. Since the danger level was that high, MD6 was also called in, along with various units of the bureau and Galactic Military, to assist.

And now:

Spoiler for Rurika: Still Pending:

Name: Rurika (family name hidden for security purposes)
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Birthday: May 23
Hair: Shoulder-length, straight brown
Eyes: crystal brown
Build: more of Tia's body build, but chest area is a bit... outmatched... a bit
Height: 5' 6"
Weight:
Homeworld: Earth
Magic System: Dei-Type (refer to Ashton's profile)
Magic Color: Yellow
Mage Rank: BB-
Personality: She's cool often, often creating a pseudo-Tia like reaction to Nanoha and the rest of MD6. but... you don't want to know- Ashton.
Affiliation: Time-Space Administraion Bureau, Mobile Division 6 with the First Exatactical Group, Cross Squadron Under Hayate Yagami, TSABS Silvana. Call Sign "Cross 4".
Device: Ballista (Latin for (cross)bow), the 'Bow of Salient Cause'.
Device Type: Key Device, focused range attack.
Description: I'll provide the image later, but it resembles a bow with instead of two ends, we have four, two on each end. almost looking like the letter 'X' with viewed on the front or back.
Device History: This device is a Key Device, a device that symbolizes a certain power of magic, as well as the medium in which the stability of the multiverse has been locked into during its creation- and supports a powerful spell contract that keeps alive a certain 'Mirror' and keeps her separate from a certain Ace. Being as such, anyone who holds one of the nine devices- a one-handed sword, a two-handed sword, a shield, a spear, a gun, a bow, a jewel, a staff and a book; can manipulate part of the laws of magic itself, bending it to his or her will.

Skills:
-Dual Shot: fires two fast shots.
-Multi-Shot: fires a single arrow, but then that arrow multiplies into a wall of arrows, allowing to hit multiple targets up front.
-Destruction Shot: fires a charged arrow that can pierce thru multiple enemies in a line, as well as impacting hard on shields.
-Strike Shot: fires an even more powerful charged arrow that can shatter shields at once, as well as pushing back the target.
-Echo Arrow Storm: fires off what basically looks like a charged form Multi-shot, but then each arrow that hits a target gives rise to four more arrows, and so on, until the energy imparted dissapates. her most powerful AoE attack.
-[Unknown Skill]: this skill is her most powerful, and can be used against single targets only, it is unknown because no one, not even the previous keepers, has done/seen it.

History:
I'll add this later... i have to go to bed.

Hey, it was just wishful thinking. I wouldn't have Almaria any other way as well.

Well a typical battle when the core switch is used:

Enemy: *parries flurry of invisible sword strikes* A girl? How did you change?
Sakura: *gruff voice* Such knowledge is your enemy.

Badass-moe? Sounds really cool to me. But I guess Aurion would annoy Kha's feisty device all the same by insisting that she's doing the imitations wrong; even prompting Almaria to speak the lines properly (Almaria is also a talented voice actress despite her disposition). I'd love to see her reaction to that.

And about the Onii-chan joke:

Spoiler for for conversation:

Fate: Thank you, Onii-chan.
Chrono: Don't mind it. *pats Fate on the head and walks away*
Aurion: *smirks* Hey Kha, you don't mind that?
Kha: Mind what, Sempai?
Aurion: So you don't get it huh? Well then, *does a convincing imitation Kha's voice* "Maah. I wish Fate called me that as well."
Kha: *flushes* Wha-what are you saying sem-(Aurion's already gone)pai?
*Two people approaches*
Hayate: K-Kha! you're.
Kha: Huh?
Nanoha: Kha-kun, I never thought.
Kha: Wha-
H & N: You're a SISCON!!!
Kha:
Aurion: *smirking while watching from afar*

My apologies in advance. And I also lack in Sakura's personality data to put in a suitable input for that scenario.

Hmm... The Device itself has no more space to cram that inside, but the Libram, which follows the mage in spirit form, can accomodate it...

Sakura: [Father! Can I have it? Please! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease--] *silent mode*

Which would mean Sakura can materialize the Libram anytime she wants entertainment, and that might be in the wrong places. Luckily the Libram can be locked under Kha's control. But then this scenario could happen at the workshop:

Boy did that remind me of the weird Pikachu adventures. Pardon the mild OOCness. Btw RH and Sakura usually get along fine, its just that Sakura likes to create mayhem for fun, and it eats into RH's definition of freindship...

Scaaaaary. And I didn't know Rein could do 'The Fist' as well.

@LoweGear: Man, your AI's have such chemistry. How come the devices don't overload when they lob logic bombs at each other? I can't wait to see how they interact with RH. Very interesting background for Kay, by the way.

@USB500: Very interesting. I'm amazed on how you re-engineered Arthur's story and incorporating it to Alexia's story. Now I'm looking forward to your 'Shirou' equivalent. Keep up the good work!

@Saint X: God, just how do you keep on churning out good characters so quickly? By the way, I've read your fic in FF.net. Just asking, but do you plan on altering Yuuno's profile here in this thread? Nice work!

I don't even know myself- and yes, it's scary... but that's a good question to take note of and answer later- i still have to take calls and earn money you know.

well, i still need the go-ahead of the majority of the people here before i post any fan-made modifications to canon characters to the board.

and probably, i'll post another one.

And yes, i still have a bank of characters here... but some of them have no magic and only stand as romantic rivals- and mayhem will ensue. on that same note, Kha also has tons of OCs and modded characters

@Kha

that is scary... people might run for their lives if that happens in the workshop

---

Question: What defines an Ace in the bureau anyway?

- i don't like the sound 'five successful kills' as defined by the terran Flight Ace

I was thinking of how many missions accomplished or an 'index rating', combining number of missions, time spent, difficulty and overall rating....

Name: Rurika (family name hidden for security purposes)
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Birthday: May 23
Hair: Shoulder-length, straight brown
Eyes: crystal brown
Build: more of Tia's body build, but chest area is a bit... outmatched... a bit
Height: 5' 6"
Weight:
Homeworld: Earth
Magic System: Dei-Type (refer to Ashton's profile)
Magic Color: Yellow
Mage Rank: BB-
Personality: She's cool often, often creating a pseudo-Tia like reaction to Nanoha and the rest of MD6. but... you don't want to know- Ashton.
Affiliation: Time-Space Administraion Bureau, Mobile Division 6 with the First Exatactical Group, Cross Squadron Under Hayate Yagami, TSABS Silvana. Call Sign "Cross 4".
Device: Ballista (Latin for (cross)bow), the 'Bow of Salient Cause'.
Device Type: Key Device, focused range attack.
Description: I'll provide the image later, but it resembles a bow with instead of two ends, we have four, two on each end. almost looking like the letter 'X' with viewed on the front or back.
Device History: This device is a Key Device, a device that symbolizes a certain power of magic, as well as the medium in which the stability of the multiverse has been locked into during its creation- and supports a powerful spell contract that keeps alive a certain 'Mirror' and keeps her separate from a certain Ace. Being as such, anyone who holds one of the nine devices- a one-handed sword, a two-handed sword, a shield, a spear, a gun, a bow, a jewel, a staff and a book; can manipulate part of the laws of magic itself, bending it to his or her will.

Skills:
-Dual Shot: fires two fast shots.
-Multi-Shot: fires a single arrow, but then that arrow multiplies into a wall of arrows, allowing to hit multiple targets up front.
-Destruction Shot: fires a charged arrow that can pierce thru multiple enemies in a line, as well as impacting hard on shields.
-Strike Shot: fires an even more powerful charged arrow that can shatter shields at once, as well as pushing back the target.
-Echo Arrow Storm: fires off what basically looks like a charged form Multi-shot, but then each arrow that hits a target gives rise to four more arrows, and so on, until the energy imparted dissapates. her most powerful AoE attack.
-[Unknown Skill]: this skill is her most powerful, and can be used against single targets only, it is unknown because no one, not even the previous keepers, has done/seen it.

History:
I'll add this later... i have to go to bed.

Kyla's getting a load more background than the last time I saw her. Martin too. Btw, I've decided to use your term "Reactive" for the trait of a "fluid Linker Core". Hence Kha's "Reaction activate!" command when he intends to swap cores.

Can't really say much cos we work directly on those. But Rurika's new to me, though I think I know where she's coming from. AltS 2 yup? Oh and StrikerS would also determine Kha's fate, as in, whether he ends up with Fate, or Sophie, who is set to appear in the 3rd chapter of Point of Light OVA.

I'd love to see her reaction to that.

Kha: Why do I don't feel like helping her...?

Well, I wouldn't mind.But I think its safer if we ask the Mod first.

Question: What defines an Ace in the bureau anyway?

- i don't like the sound 'five successful kills' as defined by the terran Flight Ace

I was thinking of how many missions accomplished or an 'index rating', combining number of missions, time spent, difficulty and overall rating....

I have no concrete idea about that. But I'm willing to bet on reaching AAA rank. If I remember correctly, the three Aces aren't the only ones in the bureau to have that title.

Hey, that gives me an idea. I'll do an update around the weekend about some more skills, anti-AMF tactics and random data; as well as Aurion's relationship with the New Stars. I'll try to make it as side-story like in order to avoid jarring canon. Thanks.

I think that description of an Ace in Nanoha would be quite adequate, as the "5 kills rule" of determining Air Force Aces in the real world would not quite fit in here.

And win for GaoGaiGar and G-Gundam there

I think Genesic's intro would fit Nanoha better though...

Good thing that Alexandra isn't assigned under Hayate, otherwise.......

I have edited Alex's profile, and please click on the spoiler for her abilities.

Spoiler:

DEFENSIVE ABILITIES
Listed below are Excalibur’s defensive abilities known to date, and all of them had once been used by Arthur (with the exception of Lionheart abilities). Those marked ** are categorized as Noble Illusions.

• Barrier Jacket: the suit is the typical Middle-Age knight’s shining armour, with blue/golden yellow colour scheme and flexible armour made of composite material (when Alexandra deploys her Barrier Jacket, it gains a body-hugging outlook). This suit is not just the flashy costume, but also refers to an invisible defensive field generated by the costume, reducing or eliminating any serious injury from events such as an impact with a building.
• Bastion: Alexandra’s first spell, this is Excalibur’s auto-guard magic. Although weak it can absorb attacks from all directions.
• Avalon: a powerful shield that protects its caster from oncoming attack. There are three variations of this spell: the Sealed Form version is merely a wall of barrier magic, while the actual sheath is used as a physical shield in Camelot Form.

• **Lionheart Avalon: Avalon's third form, the sheath dissipates into countless particles and immerses its user into a tranquil domain, virtually a “portable fortress”. Lionheart Avalon is considered a Noble Illusion.

• Wind Walker: deployed, this ability enhances Alexandra’s agility and increases her evasion rate. It is characterized by contrails that mark her movements.
• Seal of the Heavenly King: Alexandra uses this spell to bind a target. The amount of time required to activate the spell depends on the complexity of the target. It is characterized by the “royal seal” symbol that decorates the sealing bind.
• Bind Break: Alexandra tempts to deactivate a binding or imprisoning spell. The amount of time required to deactivate depends on the complexity of the target magic.
• **Delirium Ring: one of Excalibur’s Noble Illusions, it is available only after Lionheart Form is accessed. Excalibur consumes all energy crystals (or cartridges) and converts the energy to form a barrier. Once deployed, Delirium Ring cancels any other abilities within the perimeter, and those trapped inside it will have nowhere to escape.

• Delirium Break: Alexandra slams Excalibur onto the force field and shatters the perimeter inside the ring. It causes the area inside the barrier to be ‘distorted’, inflicting heavy damages on targets.

OFFENSIVE ABILITIES
Listed below are Excalibur’s offensive abilities known to date, and all of them had once been used by Arthur (with the exception of Lionheart abilities).

On other occasions, though, Excalibur is used mostly for hand-to-hand combat.

• Lion’s Roar: Excalibur’s basic area-of-affect attack. Alexandra shouts a battle cry and slams Excalibur onto the ground, unleashing a powerful shockwave that can knock out anything.
• Burning Impact: Excalibur’s basic “particle beam” attack. Alexandra activates Excalibur’s Shooter Form and aims the “deployed blade” at selected target. It is roughly on par with Takamachi Nanoha’s Divine Buster.
• Barrier of the Wind King: an ability that compresses and rotates the air around Alexandra’s blade. The wind circulation distorts the refraction of light, inducing an illusion of surreal world. This property makes it difficult for opponents to parry Alexandra’s lunges and thrusts, as they cannot discern the length or width of the blade. Furthermore, the pressurized air can be offensively expelled once in the form of an intense gust. Coupled with Energy Crystal Compressor, Barrier of the Wind King can be sustained for a long duration time.
• Sword of the Heavenly King: the ultimate physical attack Excalibur can offer. Alexandra combines 75% of power supplied from the Energy Crystal Compressor with her Spirit Wave and channels them into the blade. Then Alexandra charges at target and slashes the target with the ‘light blade’ in backhand position. The flow of energy coming from Excalibur’s blade is more than enough to nullify most attacks and can even penetrate even the strongest of barrier spells.
• **Sword of Promised Victory: the most powerful of all Noble Illusions, Alexandra channels all her energy into the sword’s nano-generator where it is processed and turned into a yellowish beam engulfing the entire blade. The resulting ‘sword of light’ reaches the edge of the sky and can be seen as far as hundreds of miles away. It is so powerful it can slice through mountains in one swipe, but as Lionheart Excalibur was never activated during Arthur’s reign, its actual strength is arguable.

ORIGINAL ABILITIES
These abilities are created during Alexandra’s training sessions with Nanoha, and bear no relation with other abilities.

• The Midnight Carnival: this is a ceremonial spell that means Alexandra will recite incantation phrases in her Briton tongue while making circular motion with her hands. Then she breaks the resulting “force field” and creates the illusion of a surreal world. The Midnight Carnival is roughly similar to Noble Illusion, except that she can perform this ability at any time.
• Blade of Silver Moon: Alexandra’s preferred melee attack, she first jumps into the air and does a speedy slash downwards at selected target. If the move connects, the opponent will be lifted high in the air, while Alexandra lands on the ground and makes a pose. After some comments, the opponent is freed from air suspension with spontaneously appearing crescent-like slash. Because of the speed of the first slash, this move is very hard to avoid (but it IS possible). When augmented with her Spirit Wave and Excalibur’s Energy Crystal Compressor, it can literally destroy a heavily-armoured target.
  

Spoiler for click for Excalibur undergoing transformation into Lionheart Form:

Currently working on Merlin's background and trivia on Alex. And I'm thinking of pairing her with Anna as a team in Lyrical of Time (still haven't resumed working on it yet).

Too much of a self promotion don't you think?

She's borderline crazy-moe, borderline angry-moe, borderline psycho-moe and very borderline moe, and with her own Linker Core that was born when her original form fused with its other half she's basically a human soul stuck in a device, hence why she's way more random that Rein. Imagine the chaos if she starts pestering Kha for a Unison form after meeting Aurion's, and the kid gives in...

*shudder*

So that BJ in Fangirl Mode was more like when I typed *glittery look* I decided maybe this was funnier and went *Fangirl Mode* and it evolved into *Barrier Jacket in Fangirl Mode*. Bottomline is, I've no idea what that looks like. And it may be too disturbing to find out. (Dr Octopus with breast-seeking appendages deshou? :shudder: )

Actually all this was a little over the top; 4koma rank character distortion for fun deshou? They hit it off when Hayate finds Kha watching anime from his Libram while recovering from the attack against the commercial shuttle he was on (Thanks for the idea!) and that's when all the conversational anime references start flying really fast... But not to the point of being reckless on the field (Apart from Sakura's random comments and warcries, but that's after her birth.). On this note, Carim also knows Kha, having worked with him on several occasions, the first being in the next OVA chap which is timed to be during "A's Epilogue". And its a reference from 4koma again that she's interested in cosplay (but not over the top as shown in 4koma). Which leaves the avenue open for Verossa to be one of the club, and that oni-chan reaction of his in epi 6 doesn't bode well for him.

Yes Hayate's trench coat replacement for Kha's Panzerform was skipped because it was another reference:

Spoiler for Mistaken Identity:

Chrono: Durandal?!
Durandal: [Yes, Master.]
Chorno: Not you! Him!

Chairman Durandal's coat from GSD. Mecha-maniac Kha strikes again, who complements Mad Engineer Shari in wanting to build mecha forms for all devices. No seriously, the biggest thing Kha wants to work on really is the Fate-mobile. Whether he gets a chance depends on StrikerS.

For fun Hayate's coming up with ideas for Schneiderform, which focuses on increasing Kha's DPS at the expense of defence. But since Kha doesn't really need to do damage (the other Aces way outstrip him in that dept ) and just tank every single thing thrown at them, the priority to build one is low and exists as more of a hobby for both Velka Meisters.

Hahaha! Excellent! TKS really knows how to make things better(worse?). And by the way, who's A and E?

Well she was quiet for once, which is a relief some times. Sakura has her sane moments, when she's serious (her self-declared goal is to be a potent Device in battle, another random note I dumped into her file) but contrast that with her maximum level of whackiness outside of real conflict...

That A and E is a R's doujin thing. A = Nanoha, C = Fate and E = Hayate, and it was supposedly about their cup sizes, which in StrikerS has totally torn apart.

Hey, that gives me an idea. I'll do an update around the weekend about some more skills, anti-AMF tactics and random data; as well as Aurion's relationship with the New Stars. I'll try to make it as side-story like in order to avoid jarring canon. Thanks.

That GGG ref is another joke, this time compiled from 2 sources in the universe

Spoiler for explanation:

- Hayate appearing on Space (as opposed to Time ) magazine holding an Ace of Spades with the bolded headline "Trump". This was later used in a TSAB recruitment drive, with the 3 Aces posing with a Ace that supposedly represents them, and the fourth being a male mage with a censored face that declares "This could be YOU! TSAB. A Career of Infinite Possibilities."

- Sakura screaming [YOSHYA! KOR FUZION!] before Reactive Core fusion with another mage and [KLE! RI! KAAA!!!] after Kor Fuzion is complete even though its Kha's Linker Core fusing onto target mage's body, inviting discomforted sweatdrops from everyone present. She uses [DNA Digivolve!] sometimes...

I built the universe in such a way that due to my- no, Kha's reference habit can accomodate most canon and non-canon works, I hope. Even love rivals for Fate's attention are welcome.

I actually have planned a short Guest Trainer of the Day cameo for Kha as a one-shot for that (though it'll be a while before I actually get to it.) but I got to change the cool-Kakashi act for someone in FF.net has already made a mess out of it. But some ideas:

Spoiler for StrikerS interactions:

Subaru: the finer points of close-in combat without her device, for inside an AMF its best to rely on one's self. That means the Velka movement techniques like Flash Step, Flash Jump and Flash Push (which sounds like For- um never mind. ), and maybe some unarmed martial fighting styles. Barrier training too, considering that she's been specialized into a tank. Maybe he might recommend her for plate armor fitting. I'm thinking of the skimpy WoW female type gear. At the moment, only Kha's Knight Armor seems closest to true plate armor (because I equated modern plate armor = mechanical armor ). Nanoha's mail/leather is just haxx.

Teana: Sniper and spotter training. Kha's Leutendes Licht, his only range spell, is a spammable but inefficient medium ranged, semi-automatic conefire spell and the + variant is a slower, extreme ranged, protection-piercing shot that can deal with AMFs, but can only take out 1 target at a time because of the reload speed. As such, he has experience in this department to offer. Also, in AltS Kha sometimes serves as a bombardment spotter due to his "Whispers" ability, a side-effect of a Reactive Linker Core, allowing him to sneak in, detect all magic and device operations within a long range, mark them, then distribute the coordinates via the battlefield psynet for a devastating rain of fire from either "Juggernaut" Vita (This idea's from you, Lowe! Thanks!) for more precise, low energy hence less detectable attacks, Nanoha for bigger AOE, or battleship cannons, even the TSAB headquarter's Controlled Dimensional Dislocator (In simple terms a Rift Generator ) for the ground-wasting hurt. Oh wait, Nanoha's enough for that. So he can provide pointers for being a spotter, considering that Nanoha's still the Mothership of the Riot 6. Oh and while he's at it, how to avoid getting hit by Nanoha while spotting.

*dodges several Accel Shooters from an annoyed Nanoha*

See? And um... No Starlight Breaker with civilians about... So er... Put that down... Yeah I'm sorry for that comment... It's just an example... Hehehe...

Erio: He already has some grasp of the basic Velka movement techniques like Flash Jumps and running on walls, and so Kha would focus on that, as well as sharpen his spear skill. He's closer to Erio than the others due to the similarities between both of them, and from the fact that he treats the boy as his Page. (Btw Fate has insisted that Erio's Meister name be "der Lancer" for "der Rider" seems more like a bad joke.) Fate's got a part of influencing him to take on a paternal role here. After all, I've got this image stuck in my head, and it's of Fate driving, Kha sitting beside her, and the kids Erio and Caro in the back seat while they head out for dinner on der Kleriker's treat. Awww...

Caro: His experience in boosting or Blessing to be exact would come in handy. However, since his magic system is totally different from hers, and even how their magic works (Caro transmutes the person's attributes using additional Core energy to increase the person's stats, while Kha calls for divine influence upon the mage's attributes to boost them), he'd probably focus on the essence of boosting, which is about the projection of one's concern for that person. (I think) Under Fate's influence, Kha might be turned into a father figure for her as well. Awww...

Sooner or later, he's going to realize that he won't have enough dinars left to buy Terran niche cartoons off the MC shelves.

I'm still thinking about other staff, but so far the most developed one is Shari when Kha met her at HQ FutureTech Labs, which could include Aurion as well. He's good at fixing Devices, and building them based on blueprints no matter how incomprehensible they seem, possibly include some simple modifications, but not inventing or reinventing them. Hence he buys extra storage devices in booster packs and as well as schematics to level his Engineering. Updating later with more ideas.

EDIT: Oh more posts while I was typing. Let's see...

And win for GaoGaiGar and G-Gundam there

I think Genesic's intro would fit Nanoha better though...

"This is the ultimate God of Destruction..."

That *alarted* was on purpose, and the original word was *alarmed*. Seven Arcs must have combined alerted and alarmed into 1 word for maximum emphasis. Engrish FTW!

Actually all but the penultimate stanza of Genesic fits really. This was what I came up for the Raising Heart Evangelion (New ultimate mode that's still sitting on the drawing board) activation:

"This is the ultimate Goddess of Destruction. The perfect embodiment of pure courage. The blade within the Ace of Hearts. She is... Queen of Starlight, Takamachi Na-no-ha!"

Well it was a suggestion of what I thought that might be applicable to Alexandra, not an imperative so I dun mind if you didn't take it...

Yeah she'd hear no end to her barrier jacket, and have problem prying the Riot 6 commander off of her, and off possibly her chest too.

Spoiler:

DEFENSIVE ABILITIES
Listed below are Excalibur’s defensive abilities known to date, and all of them had once been used by Arthur (with the exception of Lionheart abilities). Those marked ** are categorized as Noble Illusions.

• Barrier Jacket: the suit is the typical Middle-Age knight’s shining armour, with blue/golden yellow colour scheme and flexible armour made of composite material (when Alexandra deploys her Barrier Jacket, it gains a body-hugging outlook). This suit is not just the flashy costume, but also refers to an invisible defensive field generated by the costume, reducing or eliminating any serious injury from events such as an impact with a building.
• Bastion: Alexandra’s first spell, this is Excalibur’s auto-guard magic. Although weak it can absorb attacks from all directions.
• Avalon: a powerful shield that protects its caster from oncoming attack. There are three variations of this spell: the Sealed Form version is merely a wall of barrier magic, while the actual sheath is used as a physical shield in Camelot Form.

• **Lionheart Avalon: Avalon's third form, the sheath dissipates into countless particles and immerses its user into a tranquil domain, virtually a “portable fortress”. Lionheart Avalon is considered a Noble Illusion.

• Wind Walker: deployed, this ability enhances Alexandra’s agility and increases her evasion rate. It is characterized by contrails that mark her movements.
• Seal of the Heavenly King: Alexandra uses this spell to bind a target. The amount of time required to activate the spell depends on the complexity of the target. It is characterized by the “royal seal” symbol that decorates the sealing bind.
• Bind Break: Alexandra tempts to deactivate a binding or imprisoning spell. The amount of time required to deactivate depends on the complexity of the target magic.
• **Delirium Ring: one of Excalibur’s Noble Illusions, it is available only after Lionheart Form is accessed. Excalibur consumes all energy crystals (or cartridges) and converts the energy to form a barrier. Once deployed, Delirium Ring cancels any other abilities within the perimeter, and those trapped inside it will have nowhere to escape.

• Delirium Break: Alexandra slams Excalibur onto the force field and shatters the perimeter inside the ring. It causes the area inside the barrier to be ‘distorted’, inflicting heavy damages on targets.

OFFENSIVE ABILITIES
Listed below are Excalibur’s offensive abilities known to date, and all of them had once been used by Arthur (with the exception of Lionheart abilities).

On other occasions, though, Excalibur is used mostly for hand-to-hand combat.

• Lion’s Roar: Excalibur’s basic area-of-affect attack. Alexandra shouts a battle cry and slams Excalibur onto the ground, unleashing a powerful shockwave that can knock out anything.
• Burning Impact: Excalibur’s basic “particle beam” attack. Alexandra activates Excalibur’s Shooter Form and aims the “deployed blade” at selected target. It is roughly on par with Takamachi Nanoha’s Divine Buster.
• Barrier of the Wind King: an ability that compresses and rotates the air around Alexandra’s blade. The wind circulation distorts the refraction of light, inducing an illusion of surreal world. This property makes it difficult for opponents to parry Alexandra’s lunges and thrusts, as they cannot discern the length or width of the blade. Furthermore, the pressurized air can be offensively expelled once in the form of an intense gust. Coupled with Energy Crystal Compressor, Barrier of the Wind King can be sustained for a long duration time.
• Sword of the Heavenly King: the ultimate physical attack Excalibur can offer. Alexandra combines 75% of power supplied from the Energy Crystal Compressor with her Spirit Wave and channels them into the blade. Then Alexandra charges at target and slashes the target with the ‘light blade’ in backhand position. The flow of energy coming from Excalibur’s blade is more than enough to nullify most attacks and can even penetrate even the strongest of barrier spells.
• **Sword of Promised Victory: the most powerful of all Noble Illusions, Alexandra channels all her energy into the sword’s nano-generator where it is processed and turned into a yellowish beam engulfing the entire blade. The resulting ‘sword of light’ reaches the edge of the sky and can be seen as far as hundreds of miles away. It is so powerful it can slice through mountains in one swipe, but as Lionheart Excalibur was never activated during Arthur’s reign, its actual strength is arguable.

ORIGINAL ABILITIES
These abilities are created during Alexandra’s training sessions with Nanoha, and bear no relation with other abilities.

• The Midnight Carnival: this is a ceremonial spell that means Alexandra will recite incantation phrases in her Briton tongue while making circular motion with her hands. Then she breaks the resulting “force field” and creates the illusion of a surreal world. The Midnight Carnival is roughly similar to Noble Illusion, except that she can perform this ability at any time.
• Blade of Silver Moon: Alexandra’s preferred melee attack, she first jumps into the air and does a speedy slash downwards at selected target. If the move connects, the opponent will be lifted high in the air, while Alexandra lands on the ground and makes a pose. After some comments, the opponent is freed from air suspension with spontaneously appearing crescent-like slash. Because of the speed of the first slash, this move is very hard to avoid (but it IS possible). When augmented with her Spirit Wave and Excalibur’s Energy Crystal Compressor, it can literally destroy a heavily-armoured target.
  

Sakura: [Final Fantasy? Did Squall use those skills? Gotta ask RH-san, she plays the menus so fast no one knows what spells the game has. And even the lousiest movie of the series got referenced...]
Kha: *slaps forehead* SPIRIT WAVE! No wonder I thought I heard that somewhere before.

Ah an Arms Warrior type. It's pretty balanced, and I can see she uses more fighting techniques rather than magic spells. She'd pass off fairly well as a Velka Meister for that matter.

Just a peek, this is a pencil drawing of Tausend Kreuz I made way back before StrikerS was launched, and you can see some similarities with it's spearhead and Strada. Scary. Some skills mentioned there have been dropped since, but the 2 firing modes are there. But also, pardon my tardiness, it was a sketch I made on a boring day, and then I just passed it to X for his fic.

Spoiler for Tausend Kreuz:

As you can see, Kha's mecha love got the better of him, and that resulted in a rather... unwieldy spear. Tou often ribbed him about the "homemade rifle" after Kha finished adding the CVK system.

I'm currently working on the lineart of TKS, which replaces the complicated hand-made CVK system used by TK with a Metal Storm barrel loading system and refines the older device's clunkiness. After that I gotta do cleaning up, but that'll be when I get access to Photoshop again, and that's when I get back to SG. When that's done I'll post it.

Seems fine here. I see coming onee-chan interaction along this line, and I wonder how Joseph would turn out to be like. I hope for his sake it's not "Yuuno Scrya no Suspension".

now, to answer that question like i promised.

basically i tend to take from real life references and see if any of them fit in the scope of the work being done. if they fit, then they go into the holding tank for further detailing.

once in hold, i never let go of a profile until i got the right combination of this and that, and voila- an OC worth placing in any work.

the term 'so quickly' is a misnomer- what 'took me a couple of hours', started life a few months ago

on the issue of altering the profile, i am almost finished- i need more data though to complete it and the permission

@Kha

why don't you churn out the types of grunts you have in that libram of yours?

[still reading the Otome Daisen proposal]

and maybe we can churn out Bureau instructors during the three's training period

Grunts? What do you mean by that?

The instructors. Hmm... I realized I used my only model I built for Touareg, so going to have to think of a new one. I did make Carim teach Hayate a bit of things, but at that time she was still a Knight so most of it Hayate had to teach herself. But no doubt with only 3 AVKs, the real Old Velka tradition is more or less lost to time. There are several characters from which the Aces could draw their lessons from (Graham, Chrono, Lieze twins, Lindy, Leity etc.) so I'd recommend a magic trainer, and a good one, and that he dies before StrikerS?

I'm a Tomino fan, and I grow most of my characters by killing even more OCs around them. Kha's the perfect example of that done in my standard of moderation.

[Keroko]

@USB500: Whoa, Final Fantasy reference anyone?

I especially like the names you thought for your attacks, I'm currently in th process of 'refining' attack names, as most of Keroko's spells (including the ones not listed in the small version) are, well, basic...

Imagine the chaos if she starts pestering Kha for a Unison form after meeting Aurion's, and the kid gives in...

*shudder*

Dear lord, Kha on sugar high....

Well she was quiet for once, which is a relief some times. Sakura has her sane moments, when she's serious (her self-declared goal is to be a potent Device in battle, another random note I dumped into her file) but contrast that with her maximum level of whackiness outside of real conflict...

So, in other words, its a self-proclaimed goal that she only remembers when it suits her?

That reminds me, I have to draw Artherion one of these days... unfortunately I can't draw very well (one of the reasons why I prefer photoshopping I guess )

From my perspective, though, It's a beautifull weapon. I can see some of the similarities with Strada (maybe we should knock on their doors and tell them to stop reading our minds, ne?) but to be honest, were Strada is pretty much basic, Tausend Kruez is more refined, with more details. Key difference, but it makes TK a beter looking weapon.

I'm a Tomino fan, and I grow most of my characters by killing even more OCs around them. Kha's the perfect example of that done in my standard of moderation.

*Looks around in obvious denial* Well, I never do that!

... Okay, so maybe I'm guilty of that as well. Nothing builds a character better then a bit of drama. Hell, Keroko was practically born in a slaughter!

Almost... weekend.... I'll have time soon. Soooooon.

[LoweGear]

@USB500: *takes a look at Alex's abilities*

I smell delicious copypasta on Barrier of the Wind King... although asides from that, I like all most of Alexandra's spells. And Excalibur's Lionheart form looks like something a lumbering Space Marine would wield (mind you, I love Space Marines), although it doesn't look like the kind of blade wielded by an Arthurian warrior. Still, the lineart is awesome

@ Kha: Tausend Kreuz looks awesome there, although it really does appear too fat and bulky for a spear. No matter, it looks cool anyway Waiting for TKS and your upcoming better drawings.

[Nightengale]

Heh, sorry for not really commenting on any of the recent ones. Real life's a pain when one has to shift homes, tons of work abound. Maybe I'll put out something, a drawing of OCs, devices, or some writeout within the week. Who knows?

The idea of Cloud's gimmicky Advent Children sword as a device...wouldn't the Gunblade be an ideal Belka weapon? It's already got a slot for bullets and cartridges, depending on the model, and the concept of shooting for a boost is pretty much the same too in some ways.

Hmm...Maybe I can use that as Isdera's secondary weapon.

@USB500: sometimes, things that don't mix and match, look good together.

@Kha: why am i not surprised that very blueprint exists? [Hears Dio saying 'must destroy'- "keep it down!"] that reminds me, i must buy some graphical paper to do some of my designs.

-the Gunblade is one of the best weapons suited for the forum, fits appropriately, though some items, such a shield [which I'm planning to build as an A.D. in a later OC], are also appropriate.

---

well on the lines of the TK/TKS, can you guys give me suggestions for any 'thousand/millennium' A.D. ideas for my work, except a shield- because that is already in my creation list.

and on a side note, i think we must merge the fiction discussion thread and this one- that thread is kinda getting neglected now you know.

- later

*shudder*

*Imagines a psycho-Kha*
That girl really got her priorities as being the best device possible. But, on a more realistic note, if Kha and Sakura somehow pulls of that crazy combination, I'm willing to bet that it would be infinitely safer than a technology-forced sync like Aurion's; given Kha and Sakura's fluid cores.

So that BJ in Fangirl Mode was more like when I typed *glittery look* I decided maybe this was funnier and went *Fangirl Mode* and it evolved into *Barrier Jacket in Fangirl Mode*. Bottomline is, I've no idea what that looks like. And it may be too disturbing to find out. (Dr Octopus with breast-seeking appendages deshou? :shudder: )

*shudders*

Actually all this was a little over the top; 4koma rank character distortion for fun deshou? They hit it off when Hayate finds Kha watching anime from his Libram while recovering from the attack against the commercial shuttle he was on (Thanks for the idea!) and that's when all the conversational anime references start flying really fast... But not to the point of being reckless on the field (Apart from Sakura's random comments and warcries, but that's after her birth.). On this note, Carim also knows Kha, having worked with him on several occasions, the first being in the next OVA chap which is timed to be during "A's Epilogue". And its a reference from 4koma again that she's interested in cosplay (but not over the top as shown in 4koma). Which leaves the avenue open for Verossa to be one of the club, and that oni-chan reaction of his in epi 6 doesn't bode well for him.

Well she was quiet for once, which is a relief some times. Sakura has her sane moments, when she's serious (her self-declared goal is to be a potent Device in battle, another random note I dumped into her file) but contrast that with her maximum level of whackiness outside of real conflict...

That A and E is a R's doujin thing. A = Nanoha, C = Fate and E = Hayate, and it was supposedly about their cup sizes, which in StrikerS has totally torn apart.



That GGG ref is another joke, this time compiled from 2 sources in the universe

Spoiler for explanation:

- Hayate appearing on Space (as opposed to Time ) magazine holding an Ace of Spades with the bolded headline "Trump". This was later used in a TSAB recruitment drive, with the 3 Aces posing with a Ace that supposedly represents them, and the fourth being a male mage with a censored face that declares "This could be YOU! TSAB. A Career of Infinite Possibilities."

- Sakura screaming [YOSHYA! KOR FUZION!] before Reactive Core fusion with another mage and [KLE! RI! KAAA!!!] after Kor Fuzion is complete even though its Kha's Linker Core fusing onto target mage's body, inviting discomforted sweatdrops from everyone present. She uses [DNA Digivolve!] sometimes...

I built the universe in such a way that due to my- no, Kha's reference habit can accomodate most canon and non-canon works, I hope. Even love rivals for Fate's attention are welcome.

Oh I see. Interesting points you've got there. (And more of Sakura's craziness ) Especially the Space Magazine part. Makes me wanna see it.

I actually have planned a short Guest Trainer of the Day cameo for Kha as a one-shot for that (though it'll be a while before I actually get to it.) but I got to change the cool-Kakashi act for someone in FF.net has already made a mess out of it. But some ideas:

Spoiler for StrikerS interactions:

Subaru: the finer points of close-in combat without her device, for inside an AMF its best to rely on one's self. That means the Velka movement techniques like Flash Step, Flash Jump and Flash Push (which sounds like For- um never mind. ), and maybe some unarmed martial fighting styles. Barrier training too, considering that she's been specialized into a tank. Maybe he might recommend her for plate armor fitting. I'm thinking of the skimpy WoW female type gear. At the moment, only Kha's Knight Armor seems closest to true plate armor (because I equated modern plate armor = mechanical armor ). Nanoha's mail/leather is just haxx.

Teana: Sniper and spotter training. Kha's Leutendes Licht, his only range spell, is a spammable but inefficient medium ranged, semi-automatic conefire spell and the + variant is a slower, extreme ranged, protection-piercing shot that can deal with AMFs, but can only take out 1 target at a time because of the reload speed. As such, he has experience in this department to offer. Also, in AltS Kha sometimes serves as a bombardment spotter due to his "Whispers" ability, a side-effect of a Reactive Linker Core, allowing him to sneak in, detect all magic and device operations within a long range, mark them, then distribute the coordinates via the battlefield psynet for a devastating rain of fire from either "Juggernaut" Vita (This idea's from you, Lowe! Thanks!) for more precise, low energy hence less detectable attacks, Nanoha for bigger AOE, or battleship cannons, even the TSAB headquarter's Controlled Dimensional Dislocator (In simple terms a Rift Generator ) for the ground-wasting hurt. Oh wait, Nanoha's enough for that. So he can provide pointers for being a spotter, considering that Nanoha's still the Mothership of the Riot 6. Oh and while he's at it, how to avoid getting hit by Nanoha while spotting.

*dodges several Accel Shooters from an annoyed Nanoha*

See? And um... No Starlight Breaker with civilians about... So er... Put that down... Yeah I'm sorry for that comment... It's just an example... Hehehe...

Erio: He already has some grasp of the basic Velka movement techniques like Flash Jumps and running on walls, and so Kha would focus on that, as well as sharpen his spear skill. He's closer to Erio than the others due to the similarities between both of them, and from the fact that he treats the boy as his Page. (Btw Fate has insisted that Erio's Meister name be "der Lancer" for "der Rider" seems more like a bad joke.) Fate's got a part of influencing him to take on a paternal role here. After all, I've got this image stuck in my head, and it's of Fate driving, Kha sitting beside her, and the kids Erio and Caro in the back seat while they head out for dinner on der Kleriker's treat. Awww...

Caro: His experience in boosting or Blessing to be exact would come in handy. However, since his magic system is totally different from hers, and even how their magic works (Caro transmutes the person's attributes using additional Core energy to increase the person's stats, while Kha calls for divine influence upon the mage's attributes to boost them), he'd probably focus on the essence of boosting, which is about the projection of one's concern for that person. (I think) Under Fate's influence, Kha might be turned into a father figure for her as well. Awww...

Sooner or later, he's going to realize that he won't have enough dinars left to buy Terran niche cartoons off the MC shelves.

Heh. Nice interactions you've got there. Then it would seem to be safe to assume that Kha is all professional around the two Forward Stars, right? And maybe I should think about more teasing from our resident nutcase for your two lovebirds there, eh?

Just a peek, this is a pencil drawing of Tausend Kreuz I made way back before StrikerS was launched, and you can see some similarities with it's spearhead and Strada. Scary. Some skills mentioned there have been dropped since, but the 2 firing modes are there. But also, pardon my tardiness, it was a sketch I made on a boring day, and then I just passed it to X for his fic.

Spoiler for Tausend Kreuz:

As you can see, Kha's mecha love got the better of him, and that resulted in a rather... unwieldy spear. Tou often ribbed him about the "homemade rifle" after Kha finished adding the CVK system.

I'm currently working on the lineart of TKS, which replaces the complicated hand-made CVK system used by TK with a Metal Storm barrel loading system and refines the older device's clunkiness. After that I gotta do cleaning up, but that'll be when I get access to Photoshop again, and that's when I get back to SG. When that's done I'll post it.

Wow... Nice design you've got there. Too bad I can't really draw decent images so I won't be able to show Reishiki and Almaria properly.

I smell delicious copypasta on Barrier of the Wind King... although asides from that, I like all most of Alexandra's spells. And Excalibur's Lionheart form looks like something a lumbering Space Marine would wield (mind you, I love Space Marines), although it doesn't look like the kind of blade wielded by an Arthurian warrior. Still, the lineart is awesome

Yes, it is a delicious copy-pasta, since Alexandra is obviously... Saber

I never thought of Squall's Gunblade when I first designed Alex.

Alex: someone's making fun of me...
Anna: don't worry, oneechan! I will make him pay! Miata, Vios, Meteor!
Miata/Vios: Admis d'Ordre.
*Annabelle casts Meteor and aims it at Aaron008R. Leonidas palms his face in disgrace.*

okay, enough with that.

JOSHUA MERLIN

Spoiler for click:

The youngest person ever to take the seat of Royal Institution Wizardry’s vice president, (he is 25 during the Glastonbury Attack) Joshua is appointed by his late father to conduct a study on Arthur’s history and its impact on the modern Britannia. He is, however, more interested in the king’s Intelligent Armed Device and its importance in part of Arthurian legend. For seven years he studies Excalibur and even attempts to vainly unlock it. He soon realizes the device won’t respond to other people and suspects it has something to do with the Arthur’s last will on his dying day. His theory is that Excalibur will only respond to the king’s descendant who inherits his true blood, but for 900 years it has been a belief that Arthur and Guinevere never had a child. Only when Alexandra activates the Device during the AMF machines’ raid on Avalon does he believe the king did have a descendant. On top of that, he sees Alexandra’s eyes turning colour when she invokes Excalibur; Arthur had been known to change his eye colour every time he summoned Excalibur.

Much in the same way Arthur taught by Merlin, Alexandra is tutored on Excalibur’s abilities and art combat by Joshua. After appointed by Alexandra’s parents to become guardian, Joshua vows he will do anything to keep her out of harm, raising concern whether he is intending to put his life on the line for the king’s heir.

Joshua is a Support-type mage. He never enters battlefield and chooses to provide support for friendly units from safe distance. His abnormally high magic defence and evasion rates make him a tough opponent to take out in duel; he is often referred to by colleagues as “The Untouchable Tank” for this reason. Unlike other Support-class mages, Joshua is also an accomplished lancer and has once led the Royal Cavalry Regiment before retiring to concentrate on the wizardry institution.

Joshua’s ultra-great-ancestor was responsible for teaching “Wind Walker” to Arthur, and for 900 years it has been the Merlin Clan’s trademark ability. His magic colour is scarlet.

Joshua’s abilities are as follow:

• Wind Walker: deployed, this ability enhances Joshua’s agility and increases his evasion. It is characterized by contrails that mark her movements. Unlike Alexandra’s version, his version is top-notch.
• Evolution Lance: this ability explains how Joshua uses his lance (named Estima) in simultaneous strokes at the same time, protecting him from oncoming attacks while at the same time delivering ferocious attacks on the opponent. This is considered the most challenging and demanding of all lance combats, requiring intense focus, high level of skill and mastery of other lance forms.

TRIVIA

Spoiler:

These are trivia on Alexandra (there are also some for Anna thrown in).

• While never actually activated Lionheart Form along his lifetime, Arthur had been known to use Noble Illusions more than once.
• Arthur once had a pet lion he acquired from the ambassadors of the Serengeti Empire. He named it Richard. Interestingly enough, Alexandra also has a plush lion doll she got on her 5th birthday. It, too, is named Richard.
• Arthur’s full title, when transliterated from Old Briton, means “Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot, Master of Excalibur and Unifier of Britannia.”
• Alexandra knows nothing of rock music, yet one of her original abilities is named “The Midnight Carnival”. She says she remembers listening to a “peculiar song” while waiting for the bureau to pick her up at the airport. Inspired by the song, she uses the song’s title as the namesake for her ability.
• Alexandra likes chocolate.
• Despite being a shy girl, Alexandra already has a fan club dedicated only for her back at her hometown. The trait continues after she moves in to Mid-Childa, where she unconsciously becomes a man’s magnet. She is described by many as “the true village girl.”
• Joshua has twelve sisters, and all of them are named based on flowers.
• Excalibur has what is considered to be the finest sense of sarcasm, and often quarrels with Reinforce Zwei even over minor issues.
• Annabelle states that she wants her future husband to have the charming quality of a Spanish matador, a knight of virtue who will protect her from danger.
• Annabelle enjoys cosplaying, and this puts her on endless argument with Leonidas. Her favourite character is May from Guilty Gear XX Slash.
• Annabelle hates mice, and she despises of Gundam SEED.

These are only a few. I don't know what else I should throw in.

You guys are good with character-making...makes me jealous....I'll post mine up later, if I can get through the week...
