But they are an outlet for other ideas and psychic energy, and of course, terrorist scum found out you can get theories and ideas from these people that can be applied to advanced weapons technology.

Actually, the novel equivalent of TSR mentioned that Chidori had to hold herself back during mathematics, chemistry and physics exams. The Whispered ability has started leaking out of her at the time of TSR, and Chidori has to be careful not to answer exam questions in a manner that is above the level of a high school student. She is now not wiling to tell her classmates about her exam scores; the jump is too unnatural.

Hmm, but that sounds like whispered abilities happening uncontrollably, not her simply being a genius.

It's not an "ability". Chidori had simply obtained massive boosts on her understanding on chemistry, physics, and quantum mechanics. Give her a piece of paper and pen, and she could probably design an ArmSlave endoskeleton. A Whispered possess telepathic powers with each other, and they each also have a piece of unique knowledge no other Whispered possess (That's why Whispered are being captured and interrogated; they each know 1 special technology that are beyond normal science, like the lambda driver). But otherwise the boost in brainpower is universal across all Whispered, and not classified as an ability.

Trust me. She is now qualified as a genius; at least, as much as Tessa or her brother.

That's interesting, then. Makes you wish you could have that happen to you, kinda, like learn how to speak Japanese fluently in a matter of a short time.

Tabris · 2006-06-21, 22:00

That's a good point. As her abilities start to manifest, such a jump in grades would seem a little unreal. Examiners and her school would suspect her of cheating or something. Then again, what's real about FMP?

Anyways, Tessa >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>> Kanami

kanme is so hot and f.... sexy but she is in control (i don't like that about women).
on the other hand tessa is so cute and hot and of course innocent (that is the sexiest shit) but she knows how to get down to business. i think i'll go with tessa. (man, i wish she was real)

I don't believe Tessa is more innocent than Chidori. Check out the swimming pool scene in Fumoffu. Chidori has her moments of being vulnerable (just like Tessa) and expects Sousuke to save her.

I don't believe she's controlling. She's just a very outgoing person that's a bit aggressive.

I like that, as long as they don't try to control me too much. Kaname all the way, Tessa's a pale wimp comparatively.

gencbiba · 2006-07-20, 14:11

I love Kaname... Lol... Reason being that she is just the most beautiful anime character I have encountered so far. Her long blueish hair gives me goosebumps. As far as her being controlling, that's just a turn on. She isn't controlling up to the point of choosing everything for you but just when you make mistakes she tries to fix them up by beating the shit outa you.

Tessa imo is too weak and manipulative. She is responsible for relocating Sousuke in TSR. She thinks he is hers to control along with his special abilities to use the Arbalest. Like Sousuke says, "I don't remember selling my soul to Mithril." Those kind of women don't really appeal to me.

I personally would love to have someone like Kaname around. She is just so cute that it can't be put into words. However, the turn-off about Kaname is that she never reveals her true feelings to Sousuke. In TSR we see that she almost does but goes on to say that she loses her determination after one day. I would have really hoped to see her at least hug Sousuke in the end. If you think about it, she never actually hugs him and he doesn't really hug her.

Besides that, Kaname is just a blue-haired Goddess. Whenever she cries she is really cute... Lol... Anyways, I think that sends out my opinion.

Have a cookie. *hands gencbiba a cookie* That's the way I was thinking but I couldn't put it into words.

Masanori Ota · 2006-07-20, 14:23

Kaname puts up a stong front, but is actually weak on the inside. Tessa looks weak on the outside, but truely has a strong personality.

That's why Kaname needs Sousuke and Tessa doesn't, imho.

Tessa comes across as a needy person to me. She is pretty much all over Sousuke.

Masanori Ota · 2006-07-20, 20:03

That's how she acts, but she's badass when she needs to be, mark my words. She's gonna go postal with the TDD-1 after Amalgam pwns the island base, and just about every other Mithril base.

Get ready for a killing-spree, maybe even a wargasm.

gencbiba · 2006-07-21, 12:14

Kaname is stronger on the inside than Tessa. Who was it in TSR that was able to find Wraith and survive? Not only did Kaname use her physical strength, but without her mental prowess she would not have been able to do so.

If need be, Kaname is able to fend for herself as seen in TSR. Tessa lets her personal feelings get in the way too much and that is her weakness. Ultimately, the only reason Kaname seems as if she needs Sousuke is because she doesn't have the duty of controlling a submarine and she isn't protected by hundreds of professional soldiers. If Tessa was put outside of her role, you would see she would not be able to survive as effectively as Kaname has without Sousuke.

Kaname doesn't need Sousuke but rather loves him so she does not want to be seperated. Tessa knows she's been beat.

Masanori Ota · 2006-07-21, 14:34

I'm not going to argue that, because you're essentially right.

But perhaps they're both equally strong and intelligent, when it comes down to the bar. They're both hyper-intelligent Whispereds. Sure, Tessa is a little paler and weaker from being underwater and in a chair all day, but I wouldn't completely count her out. I think she might be a little bit more scary when pissed off than Kaname. We've seen Kaname pissed off countless times, but not so much with Tessa. I'm just waiting for her to bust out and lay the beatdown on Amalgam.

I did vote Kaname, btw. Tessa's a little bit more fun to analyze though, lol.

mt888 · 2006-07-22, 13:11

it was shown that tessa is more deadly then kaname when pissed in the novel COMO. kaname can scare the shit out of u but tessa is willing to do things that kaname cold never do, like killing someone.

Hmm... More people need to post!! Almost 200 people posted but over 7000 have viewed! What's up with that?

Masanori Ota · 2006-07-30, 21:21

Then stop posting.

...Whoops, I'm a hypocrite.

EDIT: Vallen Chaos Valiant, I love Masamune Shirow. Good avatar, though it's kinda small.

gencbiba · 2006-08-04, 23:40

I guess the topic is closed now eh? Kaname is the goddess and all Tessa will ever amount to is her servant. Us Kaname fans can all rest easy now!
