Regarding the links on the front page, links to Lowe's and Kha's new works, for example, will be added to Lowe's and Kha's respective OC lists (if they are not added already). For the rest, there is some stuff that I have not linked up yet, since I am not sure if they are final or not (often newly posted OCs are reworked and re-released soon after they are first posted). If anyone wants to add new links to the front page, just letme know. Quote:

The average would then be assigned to a scale which is used to relate the calculations to the canon ranks. Of course, one would need to compute statistics for the CCs to determine if they would fall under the scale (Nanoha's an S+ so her abilities should come out to between 6.67 and 6.99) Statistics: Close Range Power: 9:0 X 4 (10.0) with (Silencer Mode*) Mid Range Power: 7.0 X 1 (8.0) with Silencer Mode Long Range Power: 0.0 X 0 Total Power: 43 / 5 = 8.6 (9.6 with Silencer Mode) Speed: 9 (10 with Silencer) Skill: 9 (10 with Silencer) Reflexes: 9 (10 with Silencer) Total Agility: 9 (10 with Silencer) Mana Capacity: 7 (3 with Silencer) Mana Regeneration: 5 (3 with Silencer) Average: 5 (3 with Silencer) Physical Defense: 4 (1 with Silencer Mode) Magical Defense: 4 (2 with Silencer Mode) Total Defense: 2 (1.5 with Silencer) Overall Ranking: 7.15 C-:3.0-3.33 C: 3.34-3.66 C+: 3.67-3.99 B-:4.00-4.33 B:4.34-4.66 B+: 4.67-4.99 And so on for the higher ranks: A: 5.00-6.00 S: 6.00-7.00 SS: 7:00-8.00 SSS: 8.00-9.00 My below OC comes out as a 6.9, so he's a high S class. Again, we would have to agree on rankings for the CCs to determine if the scale is viable, or what changes would have to be made to make it accurate. If you haven't guessed, Silencer Mode is his limit break. So in a segue, I present to you my favorite of the Lords, Yeshu Malkanies. Spoiler for Yeshu:
Spoiler for Yeshu snippet:
I don't think Black Silencer will pass the hax-test, seeing that it has that whole "instadeath" thing going for it, but I really want to know what a sword slash could do other than...slash. Maybe I should just make Killing Edge 5000 the "limit break attack", that could work a lot better. |

I was going to make this my archival post, but then I discovered that I could only archive my story one chapter at a time; the post character limit is 50,000 characters, while each chapter of mine is about 30,000 characters (ie 30kb in plain text). Therefore, two chapters means 60,000 characters at least.
Am I allowed to post one after another? I know that last time I did so, I got warned for it. - Can someone please give me a quick run-down of the ranks and proper form of address for all the characters in StrikerS as of the end of the series? Spoiler for Cut for length:

Now all he needs is a whip, revolver, and fedora cap. Quote:
Incidentally, all this talk of sub-commanders and commanders? Well the actual rank of Commander (O-5) is naval; something that Chrono and Lindy were at one point or another. Calling Hayate "Commander", thus, is erroneous, as she's not part of the TSA Navy. Is this assuming she's promoted or no? I don't remember what rank Rein had in the series, but I'm prone to believe she's a Sergeant First Class. Quote:
Enforcer is a class, not a rank. I created a ranking system based off of the fact that they call Shari and Teana "Agent's Aides". This leads me to believe that Agent is a rank in the Enforcers. Thus, it may go something like this: 3rd Class, 2nd Class, 1st Class, Agent. Quote:
Quote:
Which is ridiculous, really. A helicopter pilot as an E-3? What?! I'm so gonna retcon that in my story. Alto's an O-3. Only officers are allowed to fly in the military. See above. He's been in the military for awhile, and is outside of the Stars/Lightning ranking system, so he could be a Major (O-4). Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
I'm going to guess that familiars are outside the ranking system. Quote:
Which annoys me, because after all that she should be higher, at least E-4 or E-5. Stick with Captain.

More accurately, she's in the Special Investigations division, and was once part of Genya's battalion, which is under the Ground Division. That said, we often scratch our heads and ask "so is SI under the Ground Division?" This I must admit I dunno. Promotion for her sounds likely. In PF's GuardianS, set 5 years later after StrikerS, Hayate is a Brigadier General. Sergeant Major in StrikerS, official military rank. Position, aide de camp. Quote:
Enforcers, like Kagerou mentioned, seem to be outside of the normal military rank. Kinda like FBI agents I suppose. Quote:
Quote:
Rank correct, but I agree with Kagerou. AFAIK, non-officers aren't allowed to actually fly. But Alto has a pilot's license, and the situation in StrikerS was such that RF6 lost their only pilot. So.... Sergeant is his military rank, even since his air force days. I don't think you could actually call "sniper" a rank though. Quote:

Retired officer? Quote:

Good luck with whatever you are doing. Quote:

I think they should be. But considering that Fate's an enforcer, and Arf is her assistant. Its possible she doesn't have an official rank.

Mostly for convince, I am re-adding chapter 1, and I'll bust some crack (It spawns from every building!)
Spoiler for Chapter 1 Repost, Irregulars Or tales from the 12th Magical Assault Team:
Master FieryAeon, I believe we should be allowed our 1 mille get, then lock, and rebuild a new thread. It is approaching unbearable to have to read this many posts. dkellis,FieryAeon,Kagerou, I thought Ginga was a Master Sergant in StrikerS, if I saw episode 15 correctly. That seemed off, so thanks for the corrections. krisslanza. Does the release make the character glow and use the power of their emotions? SHINING FINGERR *Is destroyed by the Shining Gundam* Melodius Trueheart Spoiler for Sniped for Justice:
This sounds interesting. He has a grudge against the TSAB, and this is going to be an interesting foe if the other OCs meet him... For the Pope! *flies to rome* |

And yeah, this is pretty much a remnant Belkan Empire. Basically one planet. If I can dig up the mini-history I wrote on it I'll link it here. Basically after the fall of the Belkan Empire proper, the survivors (of course, I didn't read the Cradle/Ark theory by then) fled to a nearby planet; they had a big fight (over how the new Belka would be run, and over religious topics: the aristocrats/nobles wanted to uphold the new religion, the common people and the artisans wanted to deify the Saint. The losers were kicked off the planet and eventually became the Saint Church under the TSAB's protection. |

...Well, yeah, Dr. Jones has a revolver, but I kinda think Yuuno would be better off with the Holy Pistol. <.< I find that I am unable to place the same level of nuance with English when it comes to sibling relationships. I normally don't use much Japanese, but for brother/sister interactions... I have to use the Japanese. Hell, in real life, I call my sister Onee-chan. (well, the chinese version. I suck at pinyin, so I translated it to Japanese.) (No, she's not really my sister... sorta adopted. Married w/2 kids.) Quote:

While her rise to E-9 is damned fast, it's not without precedent; writing on SEAL Qualification Training in his book Earning the Trident, retired SEAL & former CIA officer Dick Couch met with a SEAL Master Chief who made E-9 in 8 years. The MCPO admitted he had to bust his ass and work like hell to get there. Quote:
Regarding Shamal, it's Doctor, since she's apparently an MD. Her rank, if the TSAB follows Earth style, would be at least Captain (O-3), but she'd be called doctor. No idea about Zafira (Kagerou has him as a Warrant Officer in Alpha). Hayate being adressed as Commander is technically correct so long as the term used is "shirei", which refers to a commanding officer of a unit/installation. It's different from Chuusa, which refers to a Navy O-5 (Commander) or Army O-5 (Lt. Colonel). ...and let's not get started on Kanchou/Taii/Taisa, all of which can mean "Captain" depending on context (Kanchou = Ship captain/Skipper; Taii = Ground forces Captain (O-6); Taisaa = Navy Captain (O-6), or Ground Forces Colonel (O-6)).

Frankly, fansubbers are the LAST people you want translating military ranks... particularly when the anime uses JGSDF or JASDF ranks, which are totally foreign and alien from the standard ranking system used by most Japanese anime (shoui, chuii, taii, etc). Mostly because these were ranks used by the Imperial Japanese Army. Only the JMSDF uses IJN/IJA ranks today. Quote:

Spoiler for The Gospel According to Saint John Moses Browning, Chapter 1:
Reader: "This is the Word of God." Congregation: "Praise be to God, amen." (I'm Anglican. Lapsed, but still Anglican.) ...On a side note, it's probably a good thing there are no TSAB Marines. They'd kick the Army's ass so hard it wouldn't be funny. (Currently, Army officers in Iraq are saying the Marines have adapted faster to COIN than the Army and are doing well, leading by example. Imagine, an Iraqi Army with Marine ethos.... dangerous.)

Pardon my French, but I say let the post get up to 1000, then lock. That way its a sort of nice thing for the members and we get a new thread soon. Melodius Trueheart So, these are just the last of the Belkans. I may have to talk with you then, because I was planning on dealing with Belkan ruins on my next writeup. Wild Goose Wow, the Gospel is good, but your translation is quite odd, I would use the New Standard FBI version... I wonder if Subaru would go Belkan on us though... Spoiler for Belkan Knight Subaru:
