Yeah you probably do. Because my signature has the links to all my characters thus far, so that people don't have to backtrack god-knows how many pages in order to find my characters :3

Wow...that really sucks.

Granted that if I get into shit my parents still scold me, but that's pretty much all they do.

@Keroko: You see? This is the kind of clutter Tk was talking about. Irrelevant discussions like these are perfect for the IRC channel :3

But then again, to each their own I suppose?

My parents used to let my sister and her friends drink beer in basement during parties after they took everyones keys and they somehow put up with me so they're like saintly or something.

This kind of clutter, maybe, but with it goes all the juicy OC-stuff as well.

Alas I can't get IRC on college computers.
Unless someone knows a Firefox plugin that can get me a working iRC client. Its about the only thing I can install.

[PhoenixG]

If you go to www.mibbit.com you don't need a plugin. There is a webbased client. Inlog info are written in the second post of this thread.

Well some school systems actually don't allow it. For instance, my college won't allow me to log in to Mibbit. I have yet to try an IRC client from my computer, but I have a feeling that it won't. But I'm hoping on trying it later, especially since MSN works fine on my comp and all.

I'm assuming that it has to do with the way the routers are configured and such.

[Keroko]

Hmm, depends. What kind of errors do you get?

[ghazghkull]

I don't get errors, it just won't let me log on at all.

I use Safari and Firefox, depending if I use a Mac or not, and in either case, it doesn't allow me to use Mibbit.

I'll have to try if my IRC Client works on my labtop later when I'm not in class :3

[Keroko]

So you try to login, but nothing happens? Or do you get redirected?

[ghazghkull]

Nothing happens. It just says "Offline." That and it seems that the browser won't finish the loading, so I'm assuming that there's some sort of security that's holding it off, therefore preventing me..............................

WHAT THE HELL?!! IT WORKS NOW?!!!!

*Sigh*

Anyways, Keroko, any chance I can get some sort of image for Syn's BJ? I'm going to need it for chpt 3.

Also, give me some examples of how Tesla talks? I'm not exactly sure how to go about making her snarky and such :3

Right...point taken and easily solved

Hmm... *imagines*
*shakes head*
N-no! Better not... >_>

Well...everything will be settled soon, one way or another

Time to introduce the final boss!!!

Interesting coat :3

And as for Tesla...That's going to be hard for me to do XD But I'll try. I'm not as witty so that might give me issues :3

[Fuyu no Sora]

Ahh, this is what I'm talking about. OC Thread has 4 pages ever since I left last night I wonder if things are finally starting to get back on track?

@ghazghkull: Randomness and friendly talk is what this thread is made of :3 (Besides the OC stuff of course :3 :3) so we don't consider it 'clutter'

@Thread: A bit busy atm so I'll tackle backlog later. Haven't forgotten about it.

So in short, you're happy that we're starting to have convos while on the forums, in between our actual OC-related posts eh? LOL XD

[Wild Goose]

Alright people, heads up.

Due to a number of Katagory II shitstorms in my personal life, I've been unable to fully spec White Tempest. As a result, rather than try any more on a balanced mix...

I present this OMGWTFBBQPWNHAX general outline.

Now, what we'll do is we'll take this HAX general outline and cut it down to something more manageble and realistic, and if someone can get a Halo 2 artbook or find more data on Covenant CCS-class ships it'd be a great help.

A few things to note:

In realspace, White Tempest is only slightly faster than an XV.

In Dimensional Space/Slipspace, it is FUCKLOADS FASTER than ANY TSAB ship in comission. (Source Halo: CE: Cortana "Covenant ships have always been faster in slipspace.")

Armament as follows:

Plasma Torpedo Launchers: x25, in tubes that face forwards, left, and right.

Pulse Laser turrets: x80, all over the ship.

Now, that's the base outline, time to refine it. I'm counting on you, guys!

(Yes I know this is hax, let's jointly bust this bitch together!)

I'll like to HB, but I have no clue about the power of those "Plasma Torpedoes" and "Pulse Lasers". Official stats are generally of no help in this. Where is Halo's Canon Analysis team?

Needles to say, this basically describes Keroko's defence in a nutshell.

This is Mel too - her battle plans tend to run on, well, instinct...

Now this just screams Tesla no matter how I look at it.

It screams Sevasti too - if I write one of the earlier 82nd cases, Sevasti (AAA+) beats another mage (SS) solely by better tactics. Though, to be honest, the other guy had the tactics level of Berserker...

Not only does Treize have über genetics of every sentoukijin and Vivio, now all of a sudden Jail played around with Koji? And Relic 11 at that? And he has the abillity to read hearts and change them? This reeks of Mary Sueness and Orochimaru Syndrome.

This is very much like the near-mistake I made with the scrapped Keroko/Vivio bond, which would have removed a lot of believabillity from Keroko and shoved her in the Mary Sue category. Fortunately I had people knocking sense into me. Don't make the same mistake.

Originally Posted by Kha

I agree with Keroko, that piece about Trieze's genetics was rather... if I'm allowed to say this, over the top? That's a awful lot of splicing to do, and the development and management of the resulting chimera... Let's just say that I've read too many sci-fi novels about what that really does.

And yeah, maybe the Vivio part was a bit too much
But the amounts of DNA are small anyway.

Though, in Koji's case...did you read the incident that gave him that ability?
Scaglietti wasn't actually involved, but he did provide the Relic, that whole "Experimental Relic Weapon" stuff was just to mess with Koji, tease him and hit where it hurts the most.

Besides, I'm not going to develop it more than this, it's just to explain some events, like why hasn't Relic number 11 been found (though if there's a 4th season of Nanoha that talks about it, I'm gonna get ION CANON'ed, hard! ), and Scaglietti could be lying...

So, please don't worry about it...
*runs*

Originally Posted by Keroko

Koji... is by far the worst of in this situation. He already has the 'everyone he encounters likes or loves him' atribute, and now he suddenly is an experimental weapon? Not only that, but he holds the illustrous Relic 11 to top it off? That is a major storyline impact there, concidering the importance the Relic had initially. Apparently it also gives him his amazing 'I can understand everyone and make everyone happy' powers... The amount of connections Koji has to CC's just keeps growing and growing, and that's not always a good sign.

To give my 2 pence on the matter:

Z, I gotta go with Keroko and Kha here. Genetic recombination is NOT a field you want to get into - even for a genius like Jail, the number of things that could go wonky when you start splicing genes together increases exponentially with the gene.

And as to Koji...you ARE essentially connecting him to most of the canon characters in one single move - which is something that I've done, to a degree, but it's justified.

Arcas got to meet a lot of the CCs and OCs due to one major difference between himself and Koji (Note: except for a few things, Arcas and Koji are a lot alike): his Device. Ascalon became famous throughout the Bureau, first as "No Man's Device" (owing to the fact that until Lawrence, no one could activate it), and then in the hands of Henry Lawrence, who became a famous knight, and was Arcas' mentor.

Please note: it was ONLY because of the fame of his Device that Arcas got to do even a TENTH of the things he's done - if he'd not had Ascalon, he probably never would've gotten to join Rogue Squadron, work the Far Spinward Station, and join the RAF - and that constitutes most of Arcas' character connections.

BUT, there is 1 thing you can do to change this: change either the Relic Number, or the source of the ability...say a neuroscience experiment gone wrong. Humans only use 10% of their brain...who knows what's in the other 90%...?


QUICK NOTE TO EVERYONE: EP. 2 currently underway - expect w/in 72 hours...

Pseudo scientific nonsense mostly.

A few things to note:

Data is sparse on Covenant warships and allot of there technology we know most of what we have from First Strike that deals with the Ascendant Justice even then we have large gaps as the novels, or main source of space combat info, are heavily slanted to the UNSC perspective.

In realspace, White Tempest is only slightly faster than an XV.

In Dimensional Space/Slipspace, it is FUCKLOADS FASTER than ANY TSAB ship in comission. (Source Halo: CE: Cortana "Covenant ships have always been faster in slipspace.")

The difference was acutally only like 4 times large but not exactly a quote un quote “fuck ton.”

Armament as follows:

Plasma Torpedo Launchers: x25, in tubes that face forwards, left, and right.

Insanely high even the Ascendant Justice Class flagship of first strike weighing in at over 3,000 meters (nearly twice the length of a CCS) only had seven torpedo launchers.

Pulse Laser turrets: x80, all over the ship.

Pulse lasers are never talked about really in banks or volleys IMO there are few weapons, but they're versatile capable of firing rapidly to engage incoming missiles and small ships and in slower more powerful burst to support the ships PTs against enemy warships. I'd say a perhaps a dozen to twenty emplacements spread out to cover all vectors would be more reasonable.

I'll like to HB, but I have no clue about the power of those "Plasma Torpedoes" and "Pulse Lasers". Official stats are generally of no help in this. Where is Halo's Canon Analysis team?

http://forum.spacebattles.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4
Type halo in the search box and you'll get more of it then you could ever want to know in agonizing detail.

A small summary but I’m kind of tried at the moment

Anyway the problem is the novels give few usable example to calc as they mostly fire them at ships made our of medals of indeterminate strength, but assuming rough parity with UNSC weapons (whose kinetic nature makes pinning down numbers easier) megatons per shot at least. The Pulse Lasers also cycle fairly rapidly and can be used to thin or even defeat hordes of missiles probably numbering into the thousands.

Plasma Torpedoes are basiclly a really shitty particle beam the novels even make this clear showing that the covenant don’t grasp that the plasma torpedo system could be used to feed a much deadlier beam instead of firing blobs of plasma down a magnetic tunnel. Cortana had no such issues and after some minor adjustments used them in beam form to slice enemy warships up like chainsaws through warm butter. Even in there normal inefficient mode they pack some punch able to wreck smaller UNSC ships with meters of armor plating with just a handful of hits.

These standard weapons are also used to burn the surfaces of planets so thoroughly nothing lives on them and most of the surface is transformed into jagged blackened glass when it’s over. The problem is all examples of these bombardments are as I can recall of indeterminate length, but not absurdly long (probably days at the most). So the firepower is still high though how high is debatable.

A trailer for Halo 2 for instance showed surface impacts easily seen from space that would have been into the gigatons at least, but this scene was never acutally in any of the games (Though earth was massively bombarded before Halo 3 with EU material saying only 200 million people survived the assault and we KNOW a large part of Africa was rendered uninhabitable to contain the flood)

I myself would peg the Pulse lasers at multi-megatons at a fairly rapid rate and Plasma torpedoes at low gigatons with a significantly slower rate of fire.

Halo weapons are wonky though at the high end we have railguns and nukes that can crack moons (clacs put Super MAC slugs well into the Teratons and the NOVA bomb cracked a moon and rendered an entire planet uninhabitable when detonated in orbit of it), and then at the low end infantry are still using assault rifles firing 7.62mm NATO ounds.
