When the sequenced finished, Crash was left holding a rifle that looked more appropriet for putting holes in small vehicles.

'CRACK! WHOOMP!'

-DODGE?!

If the rippled distortion in the air was any indicator of the brief blue streak in the corner of her vision... something had just gone right past her ear at supersonic velocity.
As her head reflexively spun towards where the ripples were fading away, her mind quickly assessed the event. A Magic bullet of that velocity was simply not possible for a mage. And the range it just got fired at was on par with Nonoha's longest ranged busters. And the only thing that had kept it from hitting her right between the eyes, was tilting her head at the right moment.
The next thing she realized was that if there was an attack that could fire at this range like that, being stationary was not a good idea. She immediately lept sideways, taking off in a blur, intending to keep the shooter from getting another clear shot.

I'd still like to know the mass of the projectile and what kind of velocity decay you're expecting.

Wow, this place sure exploded yesterday!

Thanks.

I can understand that. At certain times, I experience frustration to put the scenes into words, and sometimes I feel like kicking the story into a wastebin. Maybe you'd want to co-author with someone, with you directing the ideas and the person putting it into writing? :3

That would surely be good, but everyone here has their own projects and stuff. For now, I will just stick to profile building.

What Sisters?

Right here...

"… They who are the Templars, the protectors of the Sacred Circle and Grand Cathedrals, oath-bound defenders of the Goddess’s will, guardians of the Princesses and the Holy Sisters …"

See, we do pay attention to what you write.

Thanks. I sort of forced the scenario to reflect on A's, since that's where they're more intimate. And as usual, Hayate needs more screentime!

Totally agreed.

Yep, I noticed that, so that's why I said they're "commonly" stored as programs. Since some spells can be cast without device, that sort of fits. I'm careful not to put "all", in any case, but yeah, I get the meaning.

Ah, I see what you did there now.

Wow, her story is very, very touching, and very well done. I dont know if Mayura's story is my favorite now...

Transformation Magic will come in very handy. She is certainly better at it than Iris, and since both girls apparently (waiting for the next parts ) have a similar line of work (infiltration and espionage), they could surely exchange ideas and tips, and could even work together at times.

And KirinoAsagi keeps proving why she is the leader.

Weird that Glock didnt say anything when Shinobu was mentioned this time... I guess he was already expecting it, being the 3rd time in the same day she is mentioned.

I mean, come on. Imagine seeing a battlegroup list which goes something like:

• Flagship: Big Red Button
• Backup Mobile Command: I Have A Cunning Plan
• Carrier: We Come In Peace
• Cruiser: Why Hello There
• Destroyer: Ask Questions Later
• Frigate: I Told You So
• Interdictor: Down Boy
• Scout: Are You Still There
• Diplomatic: Compelling Argument
• And Nanoha's personal ship, Defeat Means Friendship

Spoiler for long story is long:

BACKGROUND


Born in the Torii base of the US army, Kyoya is the youngest military brat of a family that
counts three children. As far as he can remember, he was always sensitive when it comes to
supernatural phenomenons, feeling things not meant to be felt, hearing noises that should
not be, etc... But never, he let it get in his way to enjoy life as it came to him.
He earned average grades during his school days but soon bored with the japanese life, he takes
training courses as scuba diver to work in various oceanographic expeditions.
In Spring 2010, he joined an american oceanographic expedition as soon as the opportunity
came to him.

In Spring 2011 (MC 71, A's epilogue), the american expedition has gone to Southern Atlantic
ocean to investigate the source of the "Bloop", this is here that his life has changed.
Indeed his submarine experienced a malfunction and began to sink, dragging him down to his
death.

But, much against his expectations, his life was saved by an unknown force. All it started
when he heard an ethereal voice. Realizing that it is the same thing as a telepathic call,
he instinctively replied and was engulfed by a sphere of light that brought him to the bottom
of the ocean where a structure was lying, concealed from the sight of men and their machines.
The light have then drawn him and his machine inside the structure, and he found himself alone
in a pitch black room that looked like it was the inside of an unknown beast. He then wandered
through corridors until he stumbled upon a structure looking like the equivalent of an egg-like
life support pod. Within the "egg", an humanoid form was floating, and much to Kyoya's surprise,
it was a female humanoid. The contact of Kyoya with the pod awakened the humanoid from a very
long slumber. She laid her eyes on the human, answered his silent request to save him by
repairing Kyoya's submarine, using powers that appeared as magical to KYoya, then she
fainted. The use of her powers after her slumber was exhausting. Kyoya then decides to take
her to his submarine. As if the structure was alive and self-aware, it cast a light around
Kyoya's machine and teleported him back to the surface.

It was his first contact with the alien who would be his companion for his future
adventures: Ynana, the last of an extinct alien race known as Aninaku. His encounter
with the alien would be the beginning of troubles, because a secret society, named the
Archons, wanted to get their hands on Ynana. Cornered and about to get shot, Kyoya was
forced to make a life contract with Ynana who chose him as her guardian and awakened
the linker core that was left dormant in his body.
After he gained his new powers, he disposed of the people who pursued him and began a
clandestine life with Ynana. He lived with her, in thailand, under fake identities given
by the thai mob, making a living of tuk-tuk driving, and smuggling of archeological items.
It was a peaceful life, where she befriended a young thai girl named Parinya, who acted
pretty much like a sister for Ynana.

It could have gone well, but Ynana showed signs that she was weakening during the spring
of 2012.
First, her alien organism was not fully protected against terran diseases, malaria being
the one that struck her.
Second, she has a symbiotic bound with the same structure where she was found, a spaceship
that crashed in the ocean during the last ice age. Kyoya has to find a way to sail to the
spot of ocean where he found her. This means risking to be discovered by the Archons who
were tracking them down. He took the risk, and they came, to take Ynana with them. Not the
wisest decision, as he experienced despair and thirst for revenge for the first time of his
life.
Ynana having given him the powers and the weapons, Kyoya swore to track down those who laid
their hands on Ynana. And worse should she die.

In his quest, regarding his powers, he went overboard, enough to be spotted by the TSAB
who sent the people who knew the most about Earth, the three Aces, and the Volkenritten.
Then a cat and mouse game started between the Aces, Kyoya and the secret society that
abducted Ynana. Needless to say that the rivalry, bitter at that time because of Kyoya's
rage and despair, was mostly to be blamed on misunderstanding.
This hide and seek game hit its climax right after Kyoya found Ynana who was on the verge
of death, on a remote island of the Atlantic ocean belonging to the archons. This event,
not helped by the fact that Kyoya was about to experience his own Bolivian Army Ending at
the hand of the Archons just when he cleared up the misunderstanding with the Aces,
triggered in Ynana an intense will to live and not die, and awakened the AI of her ship
to full activity.

Drawn by its mistress' distress, the ship rose from the depth of ocean and flew over the
island, hiding its presence by cloaking and jamming most of the electronic detection
systems in a 50 km radius, and unleashed what appeared to be combat drones to wreck havoc.
The ship, acting like a lioness fighting to protect her cub, went berserk, forcing the
Aces to deal with the drones gone amok. It needed the cooperation of Reinforce II with
a weak Ynana to dive within the matrix of the ship's AI and bring the AI back to its
senses, befriending being the shorter story.

The incident being over, the Aces offered Kyoya and Ynana to become contract mages as a
mean to "pay back" for the troubles they unwillingly raised. Kyoya saw the opportunity to
discover new horizons along with Ynana and her ship, and agreed.

Later, Parinya would join them, along with a friend of her, Antigone. Together, they will
form an exploration and recon unit named "The Conquistadores".

While they are officially a recon unit, patrolling in the borders of the TSAB's sphere
of influence, they are under the control of Hayate Yagami, reporting any potential
dangers such as Lost Logias or artifacts that could endanger everyone.

Spoiler for magic and combat style:

POWER

Kyoya is of the short-to-middle range offensive class. His magic spells are mostly
used for offensive purposes, especially rushing attacks with occasional ranged bursts
to fill the gap between his opponents and him.
His mage rank is AA.

His Intelligent Device comes in the form of a wrist watch in its sealed form. When it
is activated, it becomes a pair of two large armored red arm protections covering his
arms from the tip of his fingers to his shoulders; it has three black cogwheels on the
arm area that spins when Kyoya power up his attacks and two pairs of what would look
like dual exhaust pipes (it apparently help Kyoya into collecting wasted magical energy
or expel the exceeding one). It speak english like Raging Heart and Bardiche.

DEFENSIVE ABILITIES

* Barrier Jacket: From bottom to top. As barrier jacket Kyoya wears a pair of japanese
style leg protections over white baggy trousers with flashy flames printings from the
knee area to mid-thighs. Around his waist, a large metallic belt with a flaming eagle
belt buckle is tightened. His red jacket is opened but too small to cover his muscular
chest and six-pack. To complete the barrier jacket, Kyoya wear a red headband.

* Safety Field: The bread and butter autocast protection shield, similar to Fate's and
Nanoha's Protection. Giving an all-around protection but easily penetrated.

* Blazing Targe: Coming in the form of a fire round shield, it help Kyoya to withstand
any prolonged attack but can only protect from one direction.

* Backdraft Dash: It gives Kyoya the ability to fly while increasing his speed. And it
leaves funky fire trails like the De Lorean time machine from Back to the Future movies.

* Firestorm Burst: Kyoya uses a combination of the air oxygen and wasted magical energy
to create a fire detonation around him to repel an attack.

* Ifrit Seal: Kyoya's own take on binding spells. Not different from the Aces'.

* Breakout: Kyoya's way to deal with binding spells. How long it will take depend on
the complexity of the binding spell.


OFFENSIVE ABILITIES

* Salamander Blast: Kyoya's quick reaction spell. It comes as a short-to-middle range
fire blast coming from Dynamite Crusher, acting like a shotgun blast. It's shot while
Kyoya punch forward.

* Salamander Blast Uppercut: Kyoya's melee variation of Salamander Blast. Done with an
hopping uppercut maneuver.

* Crossfire Cutter: One of Kyoya's melee attacks. He crosses his arms while raising
over his head or lowering them below his waist then he perform a diagonal double arm
swipe that create a x-shaped fire attack that can cut through barriers like butter.
It's short-ranged. Its versatility allow Naoya to use it during most of Naoya melee
maneuvers, be it dashing, or jumping.

* Napalm Maelstrom: Kyoya's other melee-based attack. He clasp his hands together
while spinning and charging forward like a human torpedo, coiled in drill-like
trails of fire.

* Napalm Maelstrom Driver: Variation of Napalm Maelstorm. Its a grappling technique
involving Kyoya grabbing his foe then diving downward upside down while spiralling
in flames and crash onto the ground. If done on the ground, Kyoya first take off with
his opponent in his grip before diving down.

* Hellbaze Machine Gun: Kyoya's device's cogwheels spins so fast it create flames,
as Kyoya charges forward while litterally hammering the foe with a barrage of
punches. Its purpose is to shut down barrier jackets or knock down the opponent.
Or plain destroy the most dangerous enemies. It's motly his finishing move in
melee range, and it takes a very heavy toll on Kyoya's stamina, leaving him
completely exhausted and unable to defend.

* Gehenna Storm: Kyoya spreads his arms while the cogwheels of his device spins at
their maximum speed, while the pipes collect energy around them. As he power up, Kyoya
rears back then he lunges forward while thrusting his both arms forward, unleashing
a large twirling firebeam that can hold the comparison's with Nanoha's Divine Napalm.

Spoiler for Fluffy stuff:

TRIVIA

After having been befriended, Kyoya has been trained by Nanoha. It was one of
the hardest and troublesome students that Nanoha ever has. It was mostly
because Kyoya was easily distracted by Nanoha's assets. One of the other reasons
could be a complex drawn by the fact that Nanoha is not only younger, but also more
powerful than Kyoya. Something he often dispelled by his Don Juan and borderline
clown behavior.

He has tried many times to get a date with Fate, many of his tries met comically
epic failures.

Hayate looked like his younger sister, Isuzu. As a result, there are a sibling-like
relationship between the both of them. He once jokingly said they were competiting
over who would get the biggest harem. To this statement, Hayate replied that if
it was a harem competition, he should have gotten males as reversed mirror of her
own harem.

Signum was the one of the Wolkenritten who gave him the most trouble, as she was
the knight who forced Kyoya to resort to his Hellblaze Machine Gun, leaving him
open to Nanoha and Fate combined attacks and resulting in the befriending.
It didn't stop the both of them to feel a mutual respect.

He often made fun of Vita's permaloli appearance.

When the opportunity arise, he fake wounds or sickness to get in Shamal's office,
results get ugly for Kyoya as he was going borderline on harassement.

He always forget that Zafira has a wolf form, or the other way around.

He have as much consideration for Rein Zwei as he has for a Furby.

He consider Subaru as a long lost sister because of their near similarities in
styles.

His success to score with Teana has the same success rate as walking on the edge
of the crater of a volcano without falling in the lava, blindfolded and drunk.

He often commented Erio and Caro relationship as cute kindergarten romance.

Ginga is another of his targets, and met the same failures.




INSPIRATIONS

- Take Sanada Yukimura from Capcom's Sengoku Basara series in term of character
template and barrier jacket's design, add a twist of Ryo Saeba and Cobra for the
playful womanizer yet still competent as a fighter, a spoonful Sieger Neinhalt from
Samurai Shodown 2 for the Device design, you have Kyoya Kibagami.

- Salamander Blast = Captain Commando = Captain Fire from Marvel vs Capcom games.

- Crossfire Cutter is a nod to Souther's Nanto Oou Ken from Fist of the North Star
attacks.

- Napalm Maelstrom = Bison's Psycho Crusher.

- Napalm Maelstrom Driver = Hattori Hanzo's pile driver throw from Samurai Shodown.

- Hellblaze Machine Gun = Kenshiro's Hokuto Hyakuretsuken. He even does the famous
"Atatatatatatatatatatatatatata" while doing this move. That's Akira Kamiya for you.

- Geghenna Storm = Wolfgang Krauser's Kaiser Wave + random beam super.

- As for the backstory, the Archons, something like the Templar Knigths and the Rosicrucians.

Spoiler for If you need a rough idea of how Kyoya's barrier jacket should look":

Story is full of crack, but nice crack. Maybe you should explain who or what exactly are the Archons? Also, just so you know, official sources say that a Linker Core is an organ (confusing but nothing we can do). I dont think you need to change anything, though, since Kyoya may have already had a LC, albeit a very weak one.

Another thing to note is that Kyoya's squad cannot be under Hayate's control because Hayate works for the Mid-Childa Ground Forces. She does not deal with space exploration or recon.

Some funny trivia you have there, too... Finally one of Nanoha's students taking note of her assets. And not only that, also trying to hit on Fate and Teana. This guy is looking for some quick death.

And moves based on fighting games = AWESOME.

melee range, and it takes a very heavy toll on Kyoya's stamina, leaving him
completely exhausted and unable to defend.

* Gehenna Storm: Kyoya spreads his arms while the cogwheels of his device spins at
their maximum speed, while the pipes collect energy around them. As he power up, Kyoya
rears back then he lunges forward while thrusting his both arms forward, unleashing
a large twirling firebeam that can hold the comparison's with Nanoha's Divine Napalm.

Spoiler for Fluffy stuff:

TRIVIA

After having been befriended, Kyoya has been trained by Nanoha. It was one of
the hardest and troublesome students that Nanoha ever has. It was mostly
because Kyoya was easily distracted by Nanoha's assets. One of the other reasons
could be a complex drawn by the fact that Nanoha is not only younger, but also more
powerful than Kyoya. Something he often dispelled by his Don Juan and borderline
clown behavior.

He has tried many times to get a date with Fate, many of his tries met comically
epic failures.

Hayate looked like his younger sister, Isuzu. As a result, there are a sibling-like
relationship between the both of them. He once jokingly said they were competiting
over who would get the biggest harem. To this statement, Hayate replied that if
it was a harem competition, he should have gotten males as reversed mirror of her
own harem.

Signum was the one of the Wolkenritten who gave him the most trouble, as she was
the knight who forced Kyoya to resort to his Hellblaze Machine Gun, leaving him
open to Nanoha and Fate combined attacks and resulting in the befriending.
It didn't stop the both of them to feel a mutual respect.

He often made fun of Vita's permaloli appearance.

When the opportunity arise, he fake wounds or sickness to get in Shamal's office,
results get ugly for Kyoya as he was going borderline on harassement.

He always forget that Zafira has a wolf form, or the other way around.

He have as much consideration for Rein Zwei as he has for a Furby.

He consider Subaru as a long lost sister because of their near similarities in
styles.

His success to score with Teana has the same success rate as walking on the edge
of the crater of a volcano without falling in the lava, blindfolded and drunk.

He often commented Erio and Caro relationship as cute kindergarten romance.

Ginga is another of his targets, and met the same failures.




INSPIRATIONS

- Take Sanada Yukimura from Capcom's Sengoku Basara series in term of character
template and barrier jacket's design, add a twist of Ryo Saeba and Cobra for the
playful womanizer yet still competent as a fighter, a spoonful Sieger Neinhalt from
Samurai Shodown 2 for the Device design, you have Kyoya Kibagami.

- Salamander Blast = Captain Commando = Captain Fire from Marvel vs Capcom games.

- Crossfire Cutter is a nod to Souther's Nanto Oou Ken from Fist of the North Star
attacks.

- Napalm Maelstrom = Bison's Psycho Crusher.

- Napalm Maelstrom Driver = Hattori Hanzo's pile driver throw from Samurai Shodown.

- Hellblaze Machine Gun = Kenshiro's Hokuto Hyakuretsuken. He even does the famous
"Atatatatatatatatatatatatatata" while doing this move. That's Akira Kamiya for you.

- Geghenna Storm = Wolfgang Krauser's Kaiser Wave + random beam super.

- As for the backstory, the Archons, something like the Templar Knigths and the Rosicrucians.

Spoiler for If you need a rough idea of how Kyoya's barrier jacket should look":

The Barrier Jacket looks sweeet, though he would be better suited under the command of Chrono, as Hayate isn't in charge of space exploration.

Scanning would show a C- ranker but official profile would show a B ranker? How would this be resolve?

I would imagine that someone with a max output of C- is not allowed to take the B rank test.

I would say he has after birth control, though I have no evidence to back up my claim.

Clones and artificially creted mages are the same, remember? Both are Project F material. It shows that Jail does has the capabillity of controlling, or otherwise steering, the aging process of artificially created mages.

Amy was just analyzing fast. Even then, she's probably not going off pure power. She'll also sees them firing, and can do a fast evaluation of their magic control efficiencies as well to approximately place them at AAA.

I disagree on this part. Ranks are always use to gauge the ower of mages, spells, items, to have someone who is C- ranked B would clash with the system. If Teana and Subaru were promoted mainly because they already were above C-level, then the reverse should also be true.

Actually, the first time those ranks showed up, they were already said to be not a power, but a coefficient. The fact that people are placed through a battery of practical tests rather than just having their linker core measured shows clearly that it is mostly about accomplishing tasks and thus is a coefficient test. If someone can do B-rank feats, the system does not care a whole lot whether his power is C or A.

In fact, the very rapid development of Subaru and co is itself a proof it is a coefficient. It is much more plausible for them to have been underactualized in technique than for them to have gone through major leaps in raw power output in a year.

[Pure aside]Wild Goose and ATC, about the radar business a couple of pages back. Birds are indeed filtered out of radar systems, but it is more a function of speed rather than RCS - the radar's MTI or doppler function filters away returns that show low velocity, even if they are huge (like chaff clouds). In the current world of stealthy missiles, no radar will throw away a small return if its speed is high.[/Pure aside]

Actually, the first time ranks showed up they were said to be power. It's Chrono who afterwards said thatpower isn't everthing. You can be AAA ranked in power, but if you don't know how to use it, its useless. That's where the practical tests come in, they force the participants to be able to use those powers, thereby increasing overall performance.

The way they trained and them being talented kids it doesn't surprise me. That aside, explain to me then why ever time we hear ranks being mentioned they are mentioned in terms of power. 'S-rank blast incoming' during Dieci's blast, for example.

I see it this way:

Official Mage Rank (acquired through tests) = skill
Calculated magic rank = natural magic power

I dont see how these two can be similar, as someone with high magic power does not necessarily know how to use such power.

The problem is that both of these ranking systems use the same letters.

In the end, I say this confusion is 7arcs' fault for not paying attention to these details, same as how they have disregarded plenty others.

With this, arent you agreeing with us in that the Official Mage Rank does not equal natural power rank?

Good lord this thread is intimidating.

Hoping you guys don't mind if I introduce myself to the thread and please bear with me as I try to get acquainted with this thread.

Being a lurker of the Fanfiction thread, I decided to meander on over here to take a gander and maybe join in. Nothing like 1100+ pages of posts to look at.

Time to read some of the backlog to at least try to figure out what's going on here.

Spoiler for ID picture:

Spoiler for long story is long:

BACKGROUND


Born in the Torii base of the US army, Kyoya is the youngest military brat of a family that
counts three children. As far as he can remember, he was always sensitive when it comes to
supernatural phenomenons, feeling things not meant to be felt, hearing noises that should
not be, etc... But never, he let it get in his way to enjoy life as it came to him.
He earned average grades during his school days but soon bored with the japanese life, he takes
training courses as scuba diver to work in various oceanographic expeditions.
In Spring 2010, he joined an american oceanographic expedition as soon as the opportunity
came to him.

In Spring 2011 (MC 71, A's epilogue), the american expedition has gone to Southern Atlantic
ocean to investigate the source of the "Bloop", this is here that his life has changed.
Indeed his submarine experienced a malfunction and began to sink, dragging him down to his
death.

But, much against his expectations, his life was saved by an unknown force. All it started
when he heard an ethereal voice. Realizing that it is the same thing as a telepathic call,
he instinctively replied and was engulfed by a sphere of light that brought him to the bottom
of the ocean where a structure was lying, concealed from the sight of men and their machines.
The light have then drawn him and his machine inside the structure, and he found himself alone
in a pitch black room that looked like it was the inside of an unknown beast. He then wandered
through corridors until he stumbled upon a structure looking like the equivalent of an egg-like
life support pod. Within the "egg", an humanoid form was floating, and much to Kyoya's surprise,
it was a female humanoid. The contact of Kyoya with the pod awakened the humanoid from a very
long slumber. She laid her eyes on the human, answered his silent request to save him by
repairing Kyoya's submarine, using powers that appeared as magical to KYoya, then she
fainted. The use of her powers after her slumber was exhausting. Kyoya then decides to take
her to his submarine. As if the structure was alive and self-aware, it cast a light around
Kyoya's machine and teleported him back to the surface.

It was his first contact with the alien who would be his companion for his future
adventures: Ynana, the last of an extinct alien race known as Aninaku. His encounter
with the alien would be the beginning of troubles, because a secret society, named the
Archons, wanted to get their hands on Ynana. Cornered and about to get shot, Kyoya was
forced to make a life contract with Ynana who chose him as her guardian and awakened
the linker core that was left dormant in his body.
After he gained his new powers, he disposed of the people who pursued him and began a
clandestine life with Ynana. He lived with her, in thailand, under fake identities given
by the thai mob, making a living of tuk-tuk driving, and smuggling of archeological items.
It was a peaceful life, where she befriended a young thai girl named Parinya, who acted
pretty much like a sister for Ynana.

It could have gone well, but Ynana showed signs that she was weakening during the spring
of 2012.
First, her alien organism was not fully protected against terran diseases, malaria being
the one that struck her.
Second, she has a symbiotic bound with the same structure where she was found, a spaceship
that crashed in the ocean during the last ice age. Kyoya has to find a way to sail to the
spot of ocean where he found her. This means risking to be discovered by the Archons who
were tracking them down. He took the risk, and they came, to take Ynana with them. Not the
wisest decision, as he experienced despair and thirst for revenge for the first time of his
life.
Ynana having given him the powers and the weapons, Kyoya swore to track down those who laid
their hands on Ynana. And worse should she die.

In his quest, regarding his powers, he went overboard, enough to be spotted by the TSAB
who sent the people who knew the most about Earth, the three Aces, and the Volkenritten.
Then a cat and mouse game started between the Aces, Kyoya and the secret society that
abducted Ynana. Needless to say that the rivalry, bitter at that time because of Kyoya's
rage and despair, was mostly to be blamed on misunderstanding.
This hide and seek game hit its climax right after Kyoya found Ynana who was on the verge
of death, on a remote island of the Atlantic ocean belonging to the archons. This event,
not helped by the fact that Kyoya was about to experience his own Bolivian Army Ending at
the hand of the Archons just when he cleared up the misunderstanding with the Aces,
triggered in Ynana an intense will to live and not die, and awakened the AI of her ship
to full activity.

Drawn by its mistress' distress, the ship rose from the depth of ocean and flew over the
island, hiding its presence by cloaking and jamming most of the electronic detection
systems in a 50 km radius, and unleashed what appeared to be combat drones to wreck havoc.
The ship, acting like a lioness fighting to protect her cub, went berserk, forcing the
Aces to deal with the drones gone amok. It needed the cooperation of Reinforce II with
a weak Ynana to dive within the matrix of the ship's AI and bring the AI back to its
senses, befriending being the shorter story.

The incident being over, the Aces offered Kyoya and Ynana to become contract mages as a
mean to "pay back" for the troubles they unwillingly raised. Kyoya saw the opportunity to
discover new horizons along with Ynana and her ship, and agreed.

Later, Parinya would join them, along with a friend of her, Antigone. Together, they will
form an exploration and recon unit named "The Conquistadores".

While they are officially a recon unit, patrolling in the borders of the TSAB's sphere
of influence, they are under the control of Hayate Yagami, reporting any potential
dangers such as Lost Logias or artifacts that could endanger everyone.

Spoiler for magic and combat style:

POWER

Kyoya is of the short-to-middle range offensive class. His magic spells are mostly
used for offensive purposes, especially rushing attacks with occasional ranged bursts
to fill the gap between his opponents and him.
His mage rank is AA.

His Intelligent Device comes in the form of a wrist watch in its sealed form. When it
is activated, it becomes a pair of two large armored red arm protections covering his
arms from the tip of his fingers to his shoulders; it has three black cogwheels on the
arm area that spins when Kyoya power up his attacks and two pairs of what would look
like dual exhaust pipes (it apparently help Kyoya into collecting wasted magical energy
or expel the exceeding one). It speak english like Raging Heart and Bardiche.

DEFENSIVE ABILITIES

* Barrier Jacket: From bottom to top. As barrier jacket Kyoya wears a pair of japanese
style leg protections over white baggy trousers with flashy flames printings from the
knee area to mid-thighs. Around his waist, a large metallic belt with a flaming eagle
belt buckle is tightened. His red jacket is opened but too small to cover his muscular
chest and six-pack. To complete the barrier jacket, Kyoya wear a red headband.

* Safety Field: The bread and butter autocast protection shield, similar to Fate's and
Nanoha's Protection. Giving an all-around protection but easily penetrated.

* Blazing Targe: Coming in the form of a fire round shield, it help Kyoya to withstand
any prolonged attack but can only protect from one direction.

* Backdraft Dash: It gives Kyoya the ability to fly while increasing his speed. And it
leaves funky fire trails like the De Lorean time machine from Back to the Future movies.

* Firestorm Burst: Kyoya uses a combination of the air oxygen and wasted magical energy
to create a fire detonation around him to repel an attack.

* Ifrit Seal: Kyoya's own take on binding spells. Not different from the Aces'.

* Breakout: Kyoya's way to deal with binding spells. How long it will take depend on
the complexity of the binding spell.


OFFENSIVE ABILITIES

* Salamander Blast: Kyoya's quick reaction spell. It comes as a short-to-middle range
fire blast coming from Dynamite Crusher, acting like a shotgun blast. It's shot while
Kyoya punch forward.

* Salamander Blast Uppercut: Kyoya's melee variation of Salamander Blast. Done with an
hopping uppercut maneuver.

* Crossfire Cutter: One of Kyoya's melee attacks. He crosses his arms while raising
over his head or lowering them below his waist then he perform a diagonal double arm
swipe that create a x-shaped fire attack that can cut through barriers like butter.
It's short-ranged. Its versatility allow Naoya to use it during most of Naoya melee
maneuvers, be it dashing, or jumping.

* Napalm Maelstrom: Kyoya's other melee-based attack. He clasp his hands together
while spinning and charging forward like a human torpedo, coiled in drill-like
trails of fire.

* Napalm Maelstrom Driver: Variation of Napalm Maelstorm. Its a grappling technique
involving Kyoya grabbing his foe then diving downward upside down while spiralling
in flames and crash onto the ground. If done on the ground, Kyoya first take off with
his opponent in his grip before diving down.

* Hellbaze Machine Gun: Kyoya's device's cogwheels spins so fast it create flames,
as Kyoya charges forward while litterally hammering the foe with a barrage of
punches. Its purpose is to shut down barrier jackets or knock down the opponent.
Or plain destroy the most dangerous enemies. It's motly his finishing move in
melee range, and it takes a very heavy toll on Kyoya's stamina, leaving him
completely exhausted and unable to defend.

* Gehenna Storm: Kyoya spreads his arms while the cogwheels of his device spins at
their maximum speed, while the pipes collect energy around them. As he power up, Kyoya
rears back then he lunges forward while thrusting his both arms forward, unleashing
a large twirling firebeam that can hold the comparison's with Nanoha's Divine Napalm.

Spoiler for Fluffy stuff:

TRIVIA

After having been befriended, Kyoya has been trained by Nanoha. It was one of
the hardest and troublesome students that Nanoha ever has. It was mostly
because Kyoya was easily distracted by Nanoha's assets. One of the other reasons
could be a complex drawn by the fact that Nanoha is not only younger, but also more
powerful than Kyoya. Something he often dispelled by his Don Juan and borderline
clown behavior.

He has tried many times to get a date with Fate, many of his tries met comically
epic failures.

Hayate looked like his younger sister, Isuzu. As a result, there are a sibling-like
relationship between the both of them. He once jokingly said they were competiting
over who would get the biggest harem. To this statement, Hayate replied that if
it was a harem competition, he should have gotten males as reversed mirror of her
own harem.

Signum was the one of the Wolkenritten who gave him the most trouble, as she was
the knight who forced Kyoya to resort to his Hellblaze Machine Gun, leaving him
open to Nanoha and Fate combined attacks and resulting in the befriending.
It didn't stop the both of them to feel a mutual respect.

He often made fun of Vita's permaloli appearance.

When the opportunity arise, he fake wounds or sickness to get in Shamal's office,
results get ugly for Kyoya as he was going borderline on harassement.

He always forget that Zafira has a wolf form, or the other way around.

He have as much consideration for Rein Zwei as he has for a Furby.

He consider Subaru as a long lost sister because of their near similarities in
styles.

His success to score with Teana has the same success rate as walking on the edge
of the crater of a volcano without falling in the lava, blindfolded and drunk.

He often commented Erio and Caro relationship as cute kindergarten romance.

Ginga is another of his targets, and met the same failures.

In contrast to the relative care placed towards getting the bullet out, fire control seems to be more or less handwaved - the requirements are more or less listed but no firm solutions are written out.

For starters, I'm really curious as to the ranging method the rifle used for this. Coincidence is impossible because there's only one scope. Stadia is usually not this accurate. Laser or active ranging might get that precision but warns the target.

What I'm more interested in is how did the Lance Rifle determine this little piece of info. And where is the compensation for air pressure and temperature, since we are getting technical about this...

Where is the thermal, exactly? The compensation value for the same thermal is different depending on whether it is 5 meters or 4900m away, as its its "thickness" - is the heated area 500m thick, or 1500m? How can the rifle tell all of this from a ultimately 2D view on a smartscope?

(As an aside, the 2D views you can see on the ship, from the way they are consistently 2D, are probably from hastily deployed magi-cameras, brought on site by the wonders of transportation, so they are kind of diferent from your smartscope).

COOPER: Ranging? I've given Batter the best device sensor package I could pack into the space available. And you ask how it RANGES? KEY! Where's M.E.G.A.S.?

KEY: No you can NOT powerbomb him!

COOPER: Awwww COME ON!!!!

KEY: NO!

And "the aimpoint shifted". He had laid his aimpoint after the target was ranged on Fate's head. before the environmental compensations were calculated. Now the displayed aimpoint is different. But we are about to turn on the stabilizer to lock in the azimuth and elevation for the shoot and Crash has not yet replaced the new aimpoint onto Fate's head. Or are you saying his power armor is already starting to jerk Crash's arms around?

CRASH: Jerk my arms? Last time I checked the thing made it so I could RELAX my arms without dropping the weapon.

Great, he's locked in. Actually, I hope the armor was helping him out some while he was aiming as well.

CRASH: Really? I thought an earlier line "The nice thing about the Olympian armor system was that he could take these kind of shots fully standing, as if he were braced on a tripod." made it rather obvious myself.

By the way. Since the rifle seems to commit to a fixed elevation and azimuth several seconds before firing, what is the plan if the target moves between the Lock and the Completion of the Charge Cycle?

CRASH: Oh my god, oh my god, we're all gonna' die?

Somehow, no other device feels a need to bother their users about their heart rate and linker core status. Why the change?

COOPER: Test Force man. Who do you think I work for? The Naval Assault Division?

So turn on the Auto Guard, Bardiche! That oughta be a clue!

An honest mistake there. I forgot about that one, never seeing an autoguard defense for that kind of surprise, but rather Fate snapping her hand up to guard with a microbarrier.

Actually, it was probably far more, which is why its creator got pillored.

Eh?

None, and nearly none.

First is none because, if it had mass, it would be a banned projectile. And second is nearly none because it's a scientificly designed magic bullet with a leading edge and outter surface to produce no friction, and no leading edge air compression. (Having the leading edge smaller than the molecules in the air itself helps.) Thusly, the only thing slowing it down would be actual direct hits on the leading edge with air molecules.



I'll work on fixing things up more tonight. I did this sequence at three/four in the morning.

It's speculation if Quattro was still up and about at the time, would she have been able to keep the ship going normally?
Given time and his knowledge of Al Hazard tech, he could eventually come up with a bypass. But he'd still want to have Vivio on hand, just in case.
Thefore, Jail would want something as close to the original Saint Kaiser as possible. Preferably with no such nasty modifications.

Hm, you think so? Jail seems like the type to be like-
Actually, come to think of it, what were Jail's plans? Rise the Cradle, pwn Midchilda, and... what? Eat the TSAB with the Cradle? Go on a galactic asskick spree?

But that's beside the point. You're probably right about the "timebomb" one though.

Originally Posted by Keroko

What if whomever had created Vivio did a poor job at it, and when accelerating her growth, never really engineered a reverse. Considering the small timeframe between Vivio's capture and the activation of the Cradle, it's reasonable to say that Jail didn't have the time to fix the problem, so he decided to use the Cradle to eliminate the primary threat first, and fix Vivio's state after things calmed down. Unfortunately, due to the disruption of his plans, Jail never got to repair Vivio's state.

This shifts the blame from Jail to whatever random scientists were responsible for Vivio's engineering, while having only a minor impact on the story.

Possible and likely (hypothesis: feel free to shoot down).
I have another idea, though; that Vivio isn't the first Sankt Kaiser clone, but the first perfected one. Until Jail's tampering with her disrupted her body's functions, she would have lived to be as long as the SK himself (hm, this might be interesting; a too perfect clone that, later, would develop the same problems the original might have; some rare disease or something. *shrugs* Just a thought.

Anyway, growth acceleration is possible, given the right kind of chemical/hormonal treatment, and termination of aging may also possible (if we consider that in the current timeline, they have found a gene or genes that affect cellular senescence and silence them). That's because when the Numbers are already adults, if we affect them with full-body treatment targeting the said gene/s, slowing the aging process can be theoretically done.

The reverse, however, is a more unstable process. It can be done, but uncontrollable. Suppose you affect Vivio with a treatment that accelerates her cellular mechanism, she might be dead by now, or two years after, or maybe even at 60. Of course, this makes it possible that she'd be dead at 17, but the current problem lies in the way Vivio is living: she does not seem to be suffering from any post-treatment dysfunction. Even if she doesn't age, some of her organs should have started to lose functions. And I think we know how dangerous that can be.

Sometimes it's not always physical. It can also be mental/psychological. Part of it is her upbringing, but remember that Vivio has become a very violent girl.

This is good too .
So far the idea I have is a little bit of all of the ones proposed (again, feel free to rip apart; I want this to be a good, fair mix of realism/Nanoverse magic).

Basically, forced maturation from "birth" to six years of age affected Vivio in an unexpected way; I'm going to say that the scientist responsible didn't do it right, as Jail was pressuring him and forcing him to work faster at it. He thus made Vivio mature too rapidly (I'm going to assume that there's a certain point that you can reach when forcing a body to grow; if you go above that point, you start messing things up). As a result, parts of Vivio's brain have become damaged, making her slightly more erratic; If stressed, Vivio can get more extreme with her emotions (which happens a lot), and she's violent; moreso than anyone else her age (Fortunately, Syn helps to drive it down a little).

Furthermore, when Vivio was implanted with the Relic, it caused her Linker Core to go haywire, further accelerating her body's functions (since I know so little about the LC other than "lol mana", I'm leaving it at that). Couple this with the forced removal by SLB beam spam, and it's essentially left Vivio's body a wreck.

My Star Wars riddled brain does not cope with such names. I'm too used to seeing names like 'Judicator' 'Home One' 'Chimaera' and 'Executor'

Mess with it? Oh, no, I'm finding more stuff to throw on Nanoha's shoulders as we speak. Certain incidents I've made up, events in the series proper, etc.

And I agree with you about the ship names. Though I've switched from Star Wars to Halo in recent years.

Same shape, but with technical differences on the inside.

EDIT MYSELF: I'm out on the web trying to find a way to calculate the zoom factor required to put a human sized target perfectly in the scope view area at five thousand twenty meters... I'm not finding even a formula for calculateing appropriet zoom ranges...

EDIT 2:
Just remembered I have this program called Terragen. A random terrain generator and 3D rendering program. It has controls for camera and target positions that are quite good. I'll use that to calc a zoom factor. (And right now, it's looking to be an insane factor over 100.)

Input from my sisters made me make a slight adjustment to the Syn/Vivio shop. Here's the updated version:

I dont see how these two can be similar, as someone with high magic power does not necessarily know how to use such power.

The problem is that both of these ranking systems use the same letters.

In the end, I say this confusion is 7arcs' fault for not paying attention to these details, same as how they have disregarded plenty others.

With this, arent you agreeing with us in that the Official Mage Rank does not equal natural power rank?

I'd rather call it 'official rank' and 'paper rank' if someone is found with a AAA abllity, he will take the AAA test. They'll be trained before they take the test, but they will give him the AAA test as suits his measured rank, and they will repeat taking that test untill they aquired that rank.

The rare disease bit may conflict with Fall of an Empire, though.

Actually, they weren't. First, Amy says that both are AAA mages while watching them. Then she rattles off the power values, and makes an offhand remark on how they exceed Chrono in the measure of power. Then Chrono rattles off his speech. It is clear that the entire measurement wasn't pure power.

If a rank is mostly about power first, there is no way Chrono can ever exceed them. If we say that 1.27 million is AAA, and Chrono is under 1.27 million, then he cannot be a AAA+ unless rank is ultimately about coefficient.

The way they trained and them being talented kids it doesn't surprise me. That aside, explain to me then why ever time we hear ranks being mentioned they are mentioned in terms of power. 'S-rank blast incoming' during Dieci's blast, for example.

Because power is one part of the coefficient. In fact, in the manga, speed, range and even controllability of ammo is also split into those letter grades.

[Sheba]

Can't they have a power scale like richter scale? Something like <1 = lol puny humans, 10 or 12 = Jesus Christ, Buddha and John Murdock.

I think there is a bit of misunderstanding on my part in terms of the meaning of coeficient, what exactly does it mean?

Spoiler for long story is long:

BACKGROUND


Born in the Torii base of the US army, Kyoya is the youngest military brat of a family that
counts three children. As far as he can remember, he was always sensitive when it comes to
supernatural phenomenons, feeling things not meant to be felt, hearing noises that should
not be, etc... But never, he let it get in his way to enjoy life as it came to him.
He earned average grades during his school days but soon bored with the japanese life, he takes
training courses as scuba diver to work in various oceanographic expeditions.
In Spring 2010, he joined an american oceanographic expedition as soon as the opportunity
came to him.

In Spring 2011 (MC 71, A's epilogue), the american expedition has gone to Southern Atlantic
ocean to investigate the source of the "Bloop", this is here that his life has changed.
Indeed his submarine experienced a malfunction and began to sink, dragging him down to his
death.

But, much against his expectations, his life was saved by an unknown force. All it started
when he heard an ethereal voice. Realizing that it is the same thing as a telepathic call,
he instinctively replied and was engulfed by a sphere of light that brought him to the bottom
of the ocean where a structure was lying, concealed from the sight of men and their machines.
The light have then drawn him and his machine inside the structure, and he found himself alone
in a pitch black room that looked like it was the inside of an unknown beast. He then wandered
through corridors until he stumbled upon a structure looking like the equivalent of an egg-like
life support pod. Within the "egg", an humanoid form was floating, and much to Kyoya's surprise,
it was a female humanoid. The contact of Kyoya with the pod awakened the humanoid from a very
long slumber. She laid her eyes on the human, answered his silent request to save him by
repairing Kyoya's submarine, using powers that appeared as magical to KYoya, then she
fainted. The use of her powers after her slumber was exhausting. Kyoya then decides to take
her to his submarine. As if the structure was alive and self-aware, it cast a light around
Kyoya's machine and teleported him back to the surface.

It was his first contact with the alien who would be his companion for his future
adventures: Ynana, the last of an extinct alien race known as Aninaku. His encounter
with the alien would be the beginning of troubles, because a secret society, named the
Archons, wanted to get their hands on Ynana. Cornered and about to get shot, Kyoya was
forced to make a life contract with Ynana who chose him as her guardian and awakened
the linker core that was left dormant in his body.
After he gained his new powers, he disposed of the people who pursued him and began a
clandestine life with Ynana. He lived with her, in thailand, under fake identities given
by the thai mob, making a living of tuk-tuk driving, and smuggling of archeological items.
It was a peaceful life, where she befriended a young thai girl named Parinya, who acted
pretty much like a sister for Ynana.

It could have gone well, but Ynana showed signs that she was weakening during the spring
of 2012.
First, her alien organism was not fully protected against terran diseases, malaria being
the one that struck her.
Second, she has a symbiotic bound with the same structure where she was found, a spaceship
that crashed in the ocean during the last ice age. Kyoya has to find a way to sail to the
spot of ocean where he found her. This means risking to be discovered by the Archons who
were tracking them down. He took the risk, and they came, to take Ynana with them. Not the
wisest decision, as he experienced despair and thirst for revenge for the first time of his
life.
Ynana having given him the powers and the weapons, Kyoya swore to track down those who laid
their hands on Ynana. And worse should she die.

In his quest, regarding his powers, he went overboard, enough to be spotted by the TSAB
who sent the people who knew the most about Earth, the three Aces, and the Volkenritten.
Then a cat and mouse game started between the Aces, Kyoya and the secret society that
abducted Ynana. Needless to say that the rivalry, bitter at that time because of Kyoya's
rage and despair, was mostly to be blamed on misunderstanding.
This hide and seek game hit its climax right after Kyoya found Ynana who was on the verge
of death, on a remote island of the Atlantic ocean belonging to the archons. This event,
not helped by the fact that Kyoya was about to experience his own Bolivian Army Ending at
the hand of the Archons just when he cleared up the misunderstanding with the Aces,
triggered in Ynana an intense will to live and not die, and awakened the AI of her ship
to full activity.

Drawn by its mistress' distress, the ship rose from the depth of ocean and flew over the
island, hiding its presence by cloaking and jamming most of the electronic detection
systems in a 50 km radius, and unleashed what appeared to be combat drones to wreck havoc.
The ship, acting like a lioness fighting to protect her cub, went berserk, forcing the
Aces to deal with the drones gone amok. It needed the cooperation of Reinforce II with
a weak Ynana to dive within the matrix of the ship's AI and bring the AI back to its
senses, befriending being the shorter story.

The incident being over, the Aces offered Kyoya and Ynana to become contract mages as a
mean to "pay back" for the troubles they unwillingly raised. Kyoya saw the opportunity to
discover new horizons along with Ynana and her ship, and agreed.

Later, Parinya would join them, along with a friend of her, Antigone. Together, they will
form an exploration and recon unit named "The Conquistadores".

While they are officially a recon unit, patrolling in the borders of the TSAB's sphere
of influence, they are under the control of Hayate Yagami, reporting any potential
dangers such as Lost Logias or artifacts that could endanger everyone.

Spoiler for magic and combat style:

POWER

Kyoya is of the short-to-middle range offensive class. His magic spells are mostly
used for offensive purposes, especially rushing attacks with occasional ranged bursts
to fill the gap between his opponents and him.
His mage rank is AA.

His Intelligent Device comes in the form of a wrist watch in its sealed form. When it
is activated, it becomes a pair of two large armored red arm protections covering his
arms from the tip of his fingers to his shoulders; it has three black cogwheels on the
arm area that spins when Kyoya power up his attacks and two pairs of what would look
like dual exhaust pipes (it apparently help Kyoya into collecting wasted magical energy
or expel the exceeding one). It speak english like Raging Heart and Bardiche.

DEFENSIVE ABILITIES

* Barrier Jacket: From bottom to top. As barrier jacket Kyoya wears a pair of japanese
style leg protections over white baggy trousers with flashy flames printings from the
knee area to mid-thighs. Around his waist, a large metallic belt with a flaming eagle
belt buckle is tightened. His red jacket is opened but too small to cover his muscular
chest and six-pack. To complete the barrier jacket, Kyoya wear a red headband.

* Safety Field: The bread and butter autocast protection shield, similar to Fate's and
Nanoha's Protection. Giving an all-around protection but easily penetrated.

* Blazing Targe: Coming in the form of a fire round shield, it help Kyoya to withstand
any prolonged attack but can only protect from one direction.

* Backdraft Dash: It gives Kyoya the ability to fly while increasing his speed. And it
leaves funky fire trails like the De Lorean time machine from Back to the Future movies.

* Firestorm Burst: Kyoya uses a combination of the air oxygen and wasted magical energy
to create a fire detonation around him to repel an attack.

* Ifrit Seal: Kyoya's own take on binding spells. Not different from the Aces'.

* Breakout: Kyoya's way to deal with binding spells. How long it will take depend on
the complexity of the binding spell.


OFFENSIVE ABILITIES

* Salamander Blast: Kyoya's quick reaction spell. It comes as a short-to-middle range
fire blast coming from Dynamite Crusher, acting like a shotgun blast. It's shot while
Kyoya punch forward.

* Salamander Blast Uppercut: Kyoya's melee variation of Salamander Blast. Done with an
hopping uppercut maneuver.

* Crossfire Cutter: One of Kyoya's melee attacks. He crosses his arms while raising
over his head or lowering them below his waist then he perform a diagonal double arm
swipe that create a x-shaped fire attack that can cut through barriers like butter.
It's short-ranged. Its versatility allow Naoya to use it during most of Naoya melee
maneuvers, be it dashing, or jumping.

* Napalm Maelstrom: Kyoya's other melee-based attack. He clasp his hands together
while spinning and charging forward like a human torpedo, coiled in drill-like
trails of fire.

* Napalm Maelstrom Driver: Variation of Napalm Maelstorm. Its a grappling technique
involving Kyoya grabbing his foe then diving downward upside down while spiralling
in flames and crash onto the ground. If done on the ground, Kyoya first take off with
his opponent in his grip before diving down.

* Hellbaze Machine Gun: Kyoya's device's cogwheels spins so fast it create flames,
as Kyoya charges forward while litterally hammering the foe with a barrage of
punches. Its purpose is to shut down barrier jackets or knock down the opponent.
Or plain destroy the most dangerous enemies. It's motly his finishing move in
melee range, and it takes a very heavy toll on Kyoya's stamina, leaving him
completely exhausted and unable to defend.

* Gehenna Storm: Kyoya spreads his arms while the cogwheels of his device spins at
their maximum speed, while the pipes collect energy around them. As he power up, Kyoya
rears back then he lunges forward while thrusting his both arms forward, unleashing
a large twirling firebeam that can hold the comparison's with Nanoha's Divine Napalm.

Spoiler for Fluffy stuff:

TRIVIA

After having been befriended, Kyoya has been trained by Nanoha. It was one of
the hardest and troublesome students that Nanoha ever has. It was mostly
because Kyoya was easily distracted by Nanoha's assets. One of the other reasons
could be a complex drawn by the fact that Nanoha is not only younger, but also more
powerful than Kyoya. Something he often dispelled by his Don Juan and borderline
clown behavior.

He has tried many times to get a date with Fate, many of his tries met comically
epic failures.

Hayate looked like his younger sister, Isuzu. As a result, there are a sibling-like
relationship between the both of them. He once jokingly said they were competiting
over who would get the biggest harem. To this statement, Hayate replied that if
it was a harem competition, he should have gotten males as reversed mirror of her
own harem.

Signum was the one of the Wolkenritten who gave him the most trouble, as she was
the knight who forced Kyoya to resort to his Hellblaze Machine Gun, leaving him
open to Nanoha and Fate combined attacks and resulting in the befriending.
It didn't stop the both of them to feel a mutual respect.

He often made fun of Vita's permaloli appearance.

When the opportunity arise, he fake wounds or sickness to get in Shamal's office,
results get ugly for Kyoya as he was going borderline on harassement.

He always forget that Zafira has a wolf form, or the other way around.

He have as much consideration for Rein Zwei as he has for a Furby.

He consider Subaru as a long lost sister because of their near similarities in
styles.

His success to score with Teana has the same success rate as walking on the edge
of the crater of a volcano without falling in the lava, blindfolded and drunk.

He often commented Erio and Caro relationship as cute kindergarten romance.

Ginga is another of his targets, and met the same failures.




INSPIRATIONS

- Take Sanada Yukimura from Capcom's Sengoku Basara series in term of character
template and barrier jacket's design, add a twist of Ryo Saeba and Cobra for the
playful womanizer yet still competent as a fighter, a spoonful Sieger Neinhalt from
Samurai Shodown 2 for the Device design, you have Kyoya Kibagami.

- Salamander Blast = Captain Commando = Captain Fire from Marvel vs Capcom games.

- Crossfire Cutter is a nod to Souther's Nanto Oou Ken from Fist of the North Star
attacks.

- Napalm Maelstrom = Bison's Psycho Crusher.

- Napalm Maelstrom Driver = Hattori Hanzo's pile driver throw from Samurai Shodown.

- Hellblaze Machine Gun = Kenshiro's Hokuto Hyakuretsuken. He even does the famous
"Atatatatatatatatatatatatatata" while doing this move. That's Akira Kamiya for you.

- Geghenna Storm = Wolfgang Krauser's Kaiser Wave + random beam super.

- As for the backstory, the Archons, something like the Templar Knigths and the Rosicrucians.

Spoiler for If you need a rough idea of how Kyoya's barrier jacket should look":

Artei: You know my pain! ANIKI!!!
Sophia: /facepalm. Looks like we got 1 more troublesome womanizer to deal with...
Kha:

Yeah Artei's one of the rabid skirt-chasers of the thread, along with S&W, but recently Arisa's been keeping him on a tight lease...

I like that BJ! Very Dynasty Warrior in feel and I can see the fire in his attacks. And I believe Kenshiro Kaempfer would agree that a flurry of punches isn't right without ATATATATATATATATATA!

Conquista?!

And is Ynana by any chance inspired by the Singing Ship sci-fi series?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*The Aces are on the stage, all sporting guitars that match their BJ coloration*

Hayate: Itsu mo Kinkyuu Rabu Kooru~ <3 (Always on an Emergency Love Call~ <3)
*Hayate sways energetically. She then holds her thumb to her ear and her pinky beside her mouth and winks, sending a small heart shape from her eye flying.*

Nanoha: San no Eisu to na no ni- (Even though were three Aces-)
*Nanoha raises three fingers on her left hand while her right is over her heart, swaying as well.*

Fate: -Jeiru Scagriieti! (Jail Scaglietti!)
*Fate, also swaying, holds up a picture of Jail Scaglietti*

3Aces: AH~!
*With mock distressed expressions, the Aces huddle together with their wrists behind them and their legs placed together, as if they were bound.*

3Aces: Hijou sennuke deddo hiito (Breaking out the emergency line… Dead hit!)
*The Aces dislodge from each other, revealing their devices in portable forms from behind their backs.*

Nanoha: Chotto- (Sort of…)
*Nanoha sets up Raising Heart and twirls it*

Fate: -ya sotto- (secretly…)
*Fate sets up Bardiche and swings it sideways*

Hayate: - ja dai haado~! (die hard~!)
*Hayate sets up Schwertkreuz and thrusts it front of the screen. Then cue to a shot with three of them in combat poses.*

Hayate: Are you ready?
*The Aces line up and points at the screen.*

Fate: Koukai sasete ageru~… (Gonna make you repent~…)
*Fate smiles sweetly as she converts Bardiche to Zamber form*

Nanoha: ~ageru~ (~make you~)
*Nanoha smiles just as sweetly as she changes RH to Exceed mode*

Nanoha: Pink,
Hayate: White
Fate: & Yellow
*The Aces faces are shown corresponding to their magic color, speaking their color as their turn comes.*

Nanoha & Fate: Puraido kakete- (With our pride at stake,)
*N&F flank Hayate with their right hand on their heart*

Hayate: Taiho suru~! (were gonna arrest you~!)
*Hayate waves her forefinger playfully with a wink, entering Unison mode*

3Aces: WOW~!!!
*The three Aces pose together.*

3Aces: Muteki no Raisensu Supesharu Forisu (We are the Invincible Licensed Special Force!)
*The Aces in their corresponding military division uniforms do a cheerleading dance in front of the RF6 building.*

3Aces: Romantikku ni dai-tsuiseki! (Were in pursuit of Romantic!)
*The three Aces pose side by side in different outfits, from kimonos, to cheerleading uniforms, to pajamas, to racer girls, to casual wear, to wedding gowns*


Subaru: GO!
Teana: GO!
Erio: GO!
Caro: GO!
*The Strikers appear one by one, pumping their right fists upward once.*

Nanoha: Purofesshonaru~. (We’re professionals~.)
*With Nanoha carrying a coffee cup at the center, the three Aces pose in maid uniforms. Nanoha leans foreward and hands over the cup to the screen with a smile.*

Fate: Kugizuke ni naru~. (We’ll freeze you in your tracks~.)
*Fate, wearing a night gown is playing on a piano with Hayate and Nanoha flanking her, also in night gowns. Fate looks towards the screen while singing.*

Hayate: Kidou Rokka no Serebu~... (The Riot Force 6’s Celebs~...)
*At a beach, with Hayate as the center this time, the three blushing Aces in swimsuits lean provocatively on a single tree. Hayate reaches over and wraps her hands around the other two girl’s waists.*

3Aces: It's Judgment time!
*Nanoha points RH to the screen, Fate swings back her Zamber, while Hayate raises Schwertkreuz, the Tome of the Night Sky flicking pages.*

3Aces: MAHOURANGER~!!!
*Triple Ace Breaker!*

3Aces: Chu-chu-chu, Mahou, Mahou~
*Nanoha throws another flying kiss, Fate winks cutely, and Hayate hides her mouth behind her tome and bats her eyelids*

3Aces: Girls in trouble! Hands up!
*They all sway some more, spins, before Hayate glomps the other two, causing them to collapse in a heap while giggling.*

I wanted to use Keroko-chan as well. But it was hard finding room so I had to make do with the canon Aces...





I don't know what came over me!

But hey, there's quite a bit if fanservice and in this madness... So I hope it works...

I'll comment on the rest later... probably tomorrow. But Sheba, you're character is mighty interesting! I currently don't see anything tooo objectionable. And his womanizing tendencies are WIN!
