just to add to this:
if he could produce an ammunition that allowed anyone to pick up a gun and shoot mages dead, every bad guy in ordered space would be after him and his family to get it. He or his family WOULD have been abducted and WOULD have had it tortured out of them... Hell, Scaglietti would have done to get orichalconium ammo for his gadget drones, making them a serious threat instead of a nuisance, and the Bureau would have been promptly rolled over. And as for claims he couldn't do so...Due + infiltration + pickpocketed sample + reverse engineering = ???? Bottom line, if something so potentially paradigm shifting existed, it would have been taken, exploited and the paradigm would have been shifted, with Mages going from top dogs to little more than a footnote overnight... |

Also, Mid's GF wouldn't have such a problem dealing with rogue mages and miscallenous criminals if they had handguns. Handguns may be "outdated" against mages, but they're still effective against non-magical criminals who can't throw up a magic shield. And check out the StrikerS manga ch4 pg21, "all physical attack-based weapons have already been outlawed. Weapons and combat now rely PURELY on magic." |

You wish... If he got put in that squad he'd be the wingman; for Rouge 11. He's the new guy after all though I still haven't decided where exactly he gets put though take heart in that he'll acutally have some skills in the fic though he'll still be a klutz, but a significantly more deadly klutz and I've got a possible pairing in mind that dosen't involve him being beaten on for no gain.

For lulz, Lowe and I were thinking of Jack Jr. and Arara, since both tend to be rather laid back. Arara would be the Mistress of Missile Spam while Jr. would be the Skilled Gunfighter.
...and I'm thiking of crossing OCT into Gundam SEED, with such things such as the march of the old dudes: TK, Jack Sr, and Lowe (yeah alternate OCT continuity ) and Aaron going beercan spam: TK uses Guinness, Lowe uses San Miguel, Jack Sr. uses Bud, and Aaron uses Pocari Sweat . Oh and he uses a VF-22S.

I'm not a raider-type person. One of the reasons I'm jumping with joy over the anounced plans for WotLK (every instance will have a 10 man version) is that I will finally have a chance to see endgame content. Ironically, I am hapilly leveling a pally right now. Quote:

Amuzingly, Macross also gave me a perfect scene of Keroko in combat: Its short, but it works. Imagine the blue beams red and you have Keroko in combat.

Yeah when I saw the tag system I had to add "khrack" to it. =3

Now shall we add another KaixKeroko pairing into the multitude of multiverses...? Quote:
(Keikakudoori... ) Yeah Trapping is much more complicated than Seduce or Sheep. First, settle with the group what mark you are going to trap. The most common for Hunter freezes is the Blue Square. Looks like an iceblock, so the significance is there. Second, drop the trap in advance. The group is probably not going to wait for you to refresh your trap's cooldown, so make it quick. And drop it away from the group if possible. You may have to kite the mob backwards some distance into a moderately distant trap if there's a lack of room. Third, wait for the tank to start the pull, then you pull. People recommend Rank 1 Arcane Shot, but for safety I always use Distracting Shot because that ensures the bugger's on me, especially when a Pally throws his Captain America shield the mob's gonna be quite stuck to him. This also allows the mob to stay on you after trap wears off even though the healer has gotten a few heals off on you, allowing you to chain trap. Forth, stop autoshooting the moment you pull by hitting Escape, or by adding /stopcasting at the end of your pullshot macro. This would prevent you from breaking your own trap! I don't use macros cos sometimes even Distracting gets resisted, or the mob is stubbornly on the tank, so the extra autos and whatever I throw in would help get them off ASAP. However, this comes at the cost of lag causing you to miss the Escape, and you break ur trap. Fifth, have room to kite. Chain trapping requires you to buy as much time in between traps as much as possible, as the cooldown is 30s, but the duration is 20s. Drop the second trap after the first triggers ASAP, and have the mob do so running to get to you. Every extra second used in that 10s gap counts. Sixth, know how to kite. Some mobs cannot be CC'd at all, so there will be times where you have no choice but to draw fire for quite long. And this is where the Hunters separate from the Huntards, the former can kite until he forgets that his group is yelling at him to Feign Death and send the mob back (happens to me too often. ), and the latter gets killed outright, and the mob runs back and wipes the group. Kiting requires your 3 slows: Frost trap, Concussive Shot and Aspect of the Cheetah (slows the mob down by relativity. ). Drop Frost, wait for tank to pull, then pull. Keep moving backwards until the mob hits the trap. And keep DPS on him; you don't want the mob to clean aggro and run back when you aren't done with it. I get lazy and just sting him, though the recommended tactic is running-jumping-ArcaneShot. The mob's on the trap. Good. Now Aspect on and keep running! Once he's out of the trap, Jump-Concussive and keep going, turn around once in a while to Sting him and keep going. It is preferred you jump-turn-sting-turn and land facing the same direction as you were first facing. Think of it as going into bullet time. Second Frost ready, drop it quick! From here on out, its all about cycling through your CDs and making sure you have a slow up and not get damaged, otherwise your Aspect's Daze will be the death of you. Seventh, be alert. As a hunter, once you're done trapping, you'd be free to just DPS. However, that means you are free to trap again when the need arises, and you should. The mage would be sheeping, the lock'd be seducing, the druid is busy tanking, so you're the hero now. Being a Marksman gives you Scattershot, which you can use to spray the mob's face and daze him long enough to drop a trap on him and freeze him, saving the healer. A Beast Master would sic his pet on the mob, and Intimidate him for a trap. A Survivor could attempt to trap the mob and hope the healer doesn't die too quickly, or he could Wyvern Sting, then as the sting wears off unload Distracting and Arcane, then pop Deterrence to dodgetank for a bit. And scream at the tank to pay attention! This means that the mob has been asleep for 8s and if the tank hasn't done anything at the point, its his fault. ... ... ... WoW what an essay. :3 Quote:
My pally is stuck at level 18, as I'm leveling a new pet from the Wailing caverns, so its from 17 to 70. Now at 62. And now I'm adding moar to Tk's Macrack. I cii what you did thar.

*Coma chokes and dies on the Macross crack*
Blargh. Question for the haxxbusters. I'm rethinking Kiritsugu's design and at the moment he's basically turning into an S-rank version of Teana sans illusions. However, for one of his device's modes I'm considering putting in a nerfed version of the Blaster System. The idea is that instead of boosting his beamspam capabilities (something Kiritsugu doesn't use except under special circumstances), only the bits are used in order to enhance his ability to lay down covering fire and attack an enemy from multiple angles. These are controlled by 'sugu's device and only place a moderate strain on his Linker Core, about as much as the average Full Drive form. Thoughts/Opinions/Flames?

Using bits as harassing weapons to distract and pin down enemies is nothing new and we've seen it before in Gundam; in the context of Nanoha however it is pretty new. The concept has merit tactically, though it'll be up to the opposition to look for flaws and exploit it.
*me straps on OPFOR gear* I would tend to disagree with your statements on moderate strain from full drive, but that will be left for later when i get back from work, i'm getting late as is. At any rate if you want him to have a similar setup to Nanoha, you're going to need to make him an S-rank just for the sake of power believeability. And stop the choking and dying and drama. It was worse last year when 40k crack was everywhere. At least Macross is a fair bit more positive and happier than 40k.

Ho-kay, here's the first part of Kiritsugu's complete bio, consisting of his basic statistics and his history. I think this checks out pretty well as far as the timeframe is concerned, but the only way to know for sure is to run it by you guys.
A note for any present Star Wars buffs: the Zetrandi Corporate Alliance is an Expy of the Corporate Sector, and has the same lack of respect for civil rights that CorSec does. Everyone who isn't familiar with CorSec, just think of it as American capitalism gone horribly horribly wrong. Spoiler for Kiritsugu's history and basic statistics:

So let me get this straight... you already imported Keroko into the Macrossverse? Quote:
Still, its easier then playing a Pally, where people expect you to tank, heal, DPS and keep yourself alive, all from the start and no questions asked. Actually, I can dance on my own traps and not have them triggered. Quote:

I'm back.
Ehh. So this is what I get for staying away for one week. My still-to-be updated works becoming no longer accessible. Sigh... Reincoding time.=/ And I guess I'll be working on the backlog during Friday or Saturday. Anyway... Hello, everyone. I guess you could say I'm back. Though I'm gonna be less active for a while since I'm at my thrid and presumably final year in college. (Trimestral System) I'll be putting some extra effort in this time to make my parents' investment's work well in my education after all. So I see it's goodbye OC Eins. *sob* I was never able to give her a proper goodbye... T_T In any case, I guess that's life. Plenty of work to come, but I don't mind.:3 To make up for my lesser activity. I'll try to make up the quantity with quality. And not just any type of quality. It's the quality known as: OC-QUALITY!!!! A new start and a new beginning... Then might as well say it. once again, fellow Cadians inhabiting our lovely new Outer Cadia Zwei... Yoroshiku. I'll be looking forward to an entire world of creativity and enjoyment with you and the soon to be new members again. Let's make this thread another big success like her Onee-chan! Dewa! ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ After filling the 24,480 (or 12,240) pages of the Lost Logia called Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Character Creation and Discussion Thread, or more affectionately known as Outer Cadia... The time for her, Outer Cadia Eins to take her well-deserved rest. Now, with Outer Cadia Zwei with us, we will continue to carry on the future for her and everyones sake! GO FORTH AND PROSPER, OUTER CADIA ZWEI AND OUTER CADIANS NEW AND OLD!!! Spoiler for Commemorative Pic:
OC1 was fun and meaningful. And let's make the same apply here! CHEERS!!! FOR THE REBIRTH OF OUTER CADIA!!!!! And of course, progress report. GenerationS is coming along. Chapter three might get quite longer than the past two chapters or might get split up into two with developments first and action later. 6,000 or so words in there right now. So... Back to work for me. But I'll be back later on several instances. once again, Yoroshiku, minna!
