Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Character Creation and Discussion

[tshouryuu]

The general OC-thread timeline is too hard to figure out. Some of them are not even set down in stone yet, merely thoughts and such but I'm digressing. I remember someone saying we need a TSAB for the OC thread, What I think we need more is another Infinite Library librarian instead. Poor Elio is already doing his best to keep track of all our OC but we need someone to keep track of all the scenarios that keep appearing all over the place.

With that said, here's chapter 1.

Spoiler for Chapter 1 - Disappearance:

(The dark chamber of Clio's prison)

"Cold..."

"Its so cold..."

"Wait... warm air..."

"I feel warm... air..."

Opening her eyes, she sees nothing but darkness. However, she can feel that she is encased in ice with the exception of her right hand. This is where she feels the warm air. Instinctively, she calls upon her powers. Being dormant for so long, her powers were slow to respond. Slowly yet surely gaining in strength, the levels of mana in her start to increase. Reaching a suitable level, she starts channeling power to her hand, focusing hard on summoning one of her minions.

"<Raptus Summoning>"

A few feet away, a belkan summoning sigil springs into being and with it, emerges a creature of nightmares, one of Clio's summoned beasts.

[Go... Find those with sparks of power... bring them to me...]

[Do not be seen...]

Obeying its mistress commands, the creature leaves the chamber.

Repeating the process of summoning again, she calls upon additional creatures of which she sends half with instructions identical to the first and to the rest, she give then the task of breaking her free from her prison.

While the rest are working on breaking the mistress free, the hunters move swiftly, their senses dimly noting that they are deep underground. Searching about they slowly ascend and near to the surface, they discovered a large group of prey. Yet these are not the one that the mistress wanted for none of them possess the spark of power. Although they could easily destroy the prey, they would be detected. The mistress's commands were clear, do not be seen.

Settling down, they hid, waiting for the prey to leave so that they can venture past and find prey that their mistress wanted. Eventually, as the temperature lowered the prey left. Rousing themselves from their long wait, they proceeded towards the surface, passing by an area with cold, metallic ground. When they reached the surface finally, the hunters scattered, each going in a different direction.

One of the hunters, coincidently the first to be summoned, soon reached a town. Locating a pair of prey with sparks of power nearby, it slowly stalks them, waiting for the opportunity to capture one of them without being seen by the other.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Unaware that they are in danger, the two humans are chatting with each other.

"What a nice night. Too bad the two of us are stuck patrolling instead of relaxing, right Veronica?"

"Stop complaining Tylor. Can't you shut up for once? Ever since I got partnered with you, all you do is complain, complain and complain some more. Do something else for a change!"

"Do something else? Like what?"

"I don't know, your duty without complaining for once perhaps?"

"Duty? I didn't sign up with the Bureau just to do patrol duty in the middle of nowhere."

"Then why did you sign up for? Were you hoping to be discovered to be a prodigy like the Four Aces?"

"......"

"Ha! Got it in one didn't I?"

"Shut up. I need to take a piss."

"Sure, sure, avoid the subject... Hey wait! Don't just piss here in front of me!"

"Why? Scared to see something you might like?"

"Nah, just giving you a break this time. Seeing your little twig is gonna make me laugh and tease you for months."

"... I hate you."

"The feeling's mutual. Now get into the bushes or hold it in."

"Fine, fine. The bushes it is."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A chance! The prey have separated, but which one to attack? Deciding on the female, the hunter swiftly incapacitates her quietly and the only signs of this attack are a few scuff marks on the ground. Grabbing its victim, the hunter starts the journey back to its mistress.

Meanwhile, Tylor finishes up his "business" but sees no signs of his partner. Thinking that she has gone back to their lodgings and that she has left him there, Tylor proceeds back as well, complaining all the while. It would be when the dawn arrives that he would realize the truth. His partner Veronica has gone missing. In other surrounding towns, similar cases of people disappearing have also turned up.

For the next few days, a search is performed but there were no signs of the missing people at all. Then it happened again. People just disappeared without anyone seeing anything. Like before, the searchers found nothing. Sending a plea to the TSAB for help, they hope their investigators can help them find their missing people.

To be continued

Hmm.... I need a name for this ficlet... anyone got any ideas?

IMO, Meyrin isn't bad. But I much prefer AXC.

No needs. All is forgiven, right?

Of course.

Couple things about that...

If Round 2 is a tie, then that means 15 minutes went by without a clear hit, right?

Yup. Grandis'll get informed about Dunamists.

And in regards to Round 1 Arcas' victory:

Arcas could potentially win in 3 moves:

1 - Cast Afterburner, use in conjunction with Flash Move to get behind Grandis

2 - Cast Arc Shackle (see post here for description), Grandis blocks, bind takes effect

3 - Use any spell (probably Fire Shooter or Blazing Snipe) to tag Grandis.

But it is your story - do as you like.

Probably a combination of two here.
I'm planning on Arcas winning the fire vs fire element match at first.

Okay, let's try to break this down.

What Stories (to your knowledge) are part of the general OC-thread timeline?

Even I'm not sure, I'll have to do research on that.

*puts on Yuuno glasses* I'm willing to take that job. Give me some time to do research in that regard, though.

Franz: "Subaru is Mecha-tan 1, Ginga is Mecha-tan 2, and Emili is Mecha-tan 3! Together, they can form Super Sentai Mecha-tan!

Glen: *twitch* "Did... you just really say that?"
Smith and Wesson: "THEY SHOULD GATTAI!"

Shana, Clannad, Myself;Yourself has turned out quite well for me... Da capo II... Not as good due to my personal selfish reason and taste Bamboo Blade made me buy it's 5 volume to read ahead Ninomiya-kun and Night Wizard I'm not too sure about... Did they get better after the second episode?

D.Gray-man has finally picked up the story as well And I've just caught up with ef - a tale of memories, which I think is rather good and have very interesting characters

All that's left is Gundam 00 and Dragonaut that I've yet watched.

P.S - Prism Ark is the only 'failure' Sigh... Why does this always happen to the show I anticipate the most every season?!?!

Meh, the only one I've been sticking with is Clannad. I started Gundam 00, but I can always catch up on that easily.

Originally Posted by Nightengale

Though the idea of the stunted magical growth looks mildly good, etc.

I've seen characters with odd magic, but never one that was impaired. That's part of Emili's theme: "Breaking limits."

So far Night Wizard and Gundam 00 has been able to hold my interest enough to keep me downloading every once in a while.

Clannad turns out to be surprisingly more entertaining then I initially thought, though the fact that the main lead is the girl I like the least is somewhat disapointing. Though that has made me itchy to start playing the game as soon as the translation comes out.

Prism Ark just doesn't stop disapointing me. Among one the my highest anticipated shows, I'm severely disapointed that this turned out to be a garbage license anime, only intent to squirt a bit more money without any thought. The anime has made me hate Hyaweh to the core in the very first episode, and not many anime can do that. Yet one more I want to play the game of, only this time to get real quallity instead of the garbage that is the anime.

Man, I still need to get around to watching Gundam 00 Just a quick question: which group should I dl from?

I'm downloading the Conclave & Mendoi ones, mostly because the have the biggest resolutions and highest quallity.

A well adjusted healthy member of society?

Nagging house wife Rein is WIN

Nagging wife isn't really Tsun though IMO, again probably more cutely huffy.

TK said good things for two straight day in a row

-_-'

Tk Voting for peace ?!

No voting for a different sort of war. As a military man I know invasions are messy and costly, and what have we to gain by conquering them? A horde of near mindless peons obsessed with a pairing that is our antithesis? It would be like welcoming in the insurgents and terrorist! They'd rally round to try and repel the invaders and we've got a quagmire on our hands. No the right approach is to slowly seed them with our superior goods marginalizing and making them dependent it, slowly and insidiously infecting them with our culture and turning them to our side without them even realizing it... Then once they're already pretty much in our hands we roll in on them Czechoslovakia style.

Victory through superior marketing instead of firepower.

Just a Precaution

Uh-huh. -_-

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! THE GATES HAVE BEEN OPENED!

TREMBLE AND DESPAIR! DOOM HAS COME TO THIS WORLD!!!



Sion: "Welcome... To my world..."

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Is that supposed to be arousing in someway? Sorry all I'm feeling is disgust.

I was hoping for something more intimidating for at least make them sound like a threat

Well that would imply they acutally are. They aren't though our stronghold is unassailable and there defenses weak.

We might get lucky !

He'd have to be Captain Tylor lucky...

*raise hand*

Does it have to be a good husband?

... Yes.

Jackass

Perv.

*Shiver*

Direct hit.

My life's work... To make people feel annoyed and/or happy...

...Usually at my own expenses, one way or another...

Master, where ever you are on this island... I've finally understood the responsibility of the power that you have given to me!!

You seem to be succeeding for better or worse.-_-

That's not true

They're rare, but there are a few...

They're are a few sane NxF too, but they're both freaks.

QFT. Which is why it's also fun mind you!

So why is it that Hayate always has to go through a kidnapping in order to make friends?

And... Stockholm Syndrome?

Well hey being kidnapped together is a pretty good ice breaker!

Yup, even if it isn't original, what matters is execution

[Teal'c]Indeed[/Teal'c]

So it seems, SouthEast Asia has some of the most corrupt countries

Don't think of it was corrupt think of it was happily unregulated!

So will this Tessa be a doujikko too?

Wouldn't be Tessa if she wasn't.

You could try coming here for a holiday someday then. Piracy is also rampant here.

The kind with AK-47 and RPGs or the one with DVDs?

Well he's so undeveloped that almost anything goes, as long as it doesn't clashes with what's established in canon.

Pretty much actually going just by canon even the perv thing is kinda shaky.

Unfortunately I think I'll probably end up with one of those cubicle jobs. Though I'll try and get those technical support jobs where I don't have to be stuck in an office whole day.

Well good luck in that being stuck in an office can suck, my dad been working in banking (the computer systems for that handle transfer between them mostly, he didn't even go to college and now makes like 200+ a year... advantage of getting in on the ground floor) for a bit less then 30 years now and dosen't seem to mind. I could never do that though police work might not be like in TVs but at least my "office" will be a car with a 250+ HP engine.

I gave up on watching wrestling years ago, its just a load of bull nowadays.

Yeah I mostly watch MMA matches now (seeing one high kick to the side of the head just LEVEL a guy built of 250 pounds of muscle will get you hooked), wrestling can be fun for the comedy value at times though.

Well make that huffing and puffing Rein then, chasing Agito around for annoying her.

Yes that much better... and so cute.

Nahh...that's what makes it fun really, eliciting a reaction from her.

I wouldn't think it's too fun when said reaction involves eating your brain?

YES! Justice has been served!

Justice will always prevail in the end!

Hey cliches may be cliches, but fresh ideas are not infinite and don't just grow on trees so IMO its perfectly okay if something is a little cliche.

Everything has been done before by someone... probably the Simpson's, twice.

Though Vestrell's personality is definitely very different from Hecate.

Gee what gave it away, couldn't have been the cannibalism could it?

I can't imagine a Hecate sized mouth trying to devour me, though nibbling me suggestively works.

*Hecate sized moth tears off half of PA left ear*
PA: MOTHERFU*censored*

-tan? Did she suddenly shrink?

Pretty soon we'll have not only a UD Sentai but an OC-tan team too...

*Rereads FSZ's post* I forgot about that. Ok, now who has the video of it? *looks at S&W and Vice*

*Bonks PA on the head* Stop it little perv.

WHATAREYOUTRYINGTODOTOHAYATEKICKKKKUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

So asking for sex tapes of Maren is cool, but this isn't?

Looks quite interesting. A cyborg eh...

"We can rebuild her stronger, faster, better... more tsuny."

S-stop!!!!

This is for your own good! Stereotypic Generic Asian Dungeon master up the voltage!

"Ahh yes, his jewels will fry like skin of finely cooked Peking Duck!"

With those tiny paws? Hah! As if. *runs anyway*

*Vestrell jams her finger nails into PA eyes, hard*

I'll include maybe four of them. They'd do well in lightening the mood since Hayate will be kidnapped for a few days.

O'Neil: Don't worry girls we have lots of experience with kidnappings we'll get her back!
Felix: shouldn't that be you have lots of experience getting kidnapped?
O'Neil: Munro you're on point, go scout ahead.
Felix: Son of a...

And speaking of kidnap, I've got some completely cliche 'captive eventually gets to like the kidnapper' scenarios running in my head...

Hey if it ain't broke...

NOted.;D I'll do what I can.

*gives big thumbs up*

It dose seem to be getting more and more AU as the thread steers away from the insanity inherent in some of it's more outlandish aspects.

Star Wars Novels acutally aren't terrible for this they DO have people that try to check continuity, but SW is big and stuff slips through, writers also get near free reign with pretty much anything besides history or characters from what I can tell, they seem to enforce very little technical continuity. Which get's us shit like one novel talking about engaging enemy ships at 50 miles and another book discussing blowing up asteroids at 10 light minutes (I'm not making this up by the way), or one guy has shields falling from a handful of shots while others have the ships trading fire for hours with little damage, etc.

I've managed to get a fair idea, but mostly what I do now is consider NBC to be the main "background" and with various things being slight variations on it fanon AU basically, as long as you don't do anything to crazy most stuff can be made to fit in NBC with a bit of wedging and grease, it's also the main time line most OCs exist it so really serious interaction tends to take place in some variation on it.

The simplest solution might simply be to have the writer specify clearly what if any timeline, the timeframe, etc at the start of their works.
If we had a heading like that you could cut down on confusion quite a bit.

I know my OCs exist in one form or another in pretty much all timeliness since they're toward the periphery it's hard to alter the universe so much they can't appear in it. Though minor details change my OC in Guradaisn for instance won't have fought a major war, but rather a smallish border dispute.

I was thinking of incorporating to my OC-fied Fel, since Prism Ark is all about elemental spells. However, that would probably not go through the haxxbusters. So I'll probably have to go through with the haxx patrol when I start on her spell list.

(Update on OC-fied Fel: 70% complete, pending spell list and proper proofreading on history and stuff)

Still...don't lump me with Chaos. His laziness is different from mine.

Spoiler for Ponder:

In the vacuum of emotions that hung in the air, Fate Testarossa Harlaown tried to ease herself back in her desk chair, wanting to ease the ill-feeling permeating in the air, the ephemeral residue of a scorned soul.

She could not.

Sighing heavily only relieved her of the tension in her body, but her thoughts still processed to make sense of the events today.

“It was our decision.”

Yes. It was their decision, she convinced herself in her soliloquy. It was the conclusion of the people who had been with the young girl that day, who had seen her every move, her every action. And their collective judgment gave them reason to believe the girl was lacking. Lacking in the necessary aptitude, skill, and ability to pass the standards set by the TSAB.

Yes, their decision was correct.

“Our decision. Ours…”

She sighed once again. For only minutes before, she had thought otherwise…

-----

“Private Smith?”

She had asked the spaced out Clerk in front of her, minutes before the maelstrom. Her final report was nearly finished, and the two “Linebackers” as Private First Class Remington Smith, and Private First Class Colt Wesson were collectively referred to, was poring over them. They had to, as their responsibility to the subject of the papers, the young examinee mage, and their female charge Mai Enna.

They had to, but both were somehow inattentive of their task. Wesson sat in the office’s long, brown straight couch, seemingly flipping the pages of the report like flipping was the activity. And Smith, who sat in the chair in front of her across the desk, was equally bored, more like looking at the report for the sake of looking rather than reading.

She could’ve excused them of seniority over the abilities of the examinee – after all, they had known Mai far better than she had, despite meeting her in about the same time roughly 5 and a half years ago.

But… her intuition told her that these two were thinking about more than these reports. Beyond these reports. Both lost in musing over what seemed to be a most pressing thought.

It bothered her greatly.

For, as the head examiner personally who personally oversaw Mai’s exam from beginning to completion, who was the Enforcer who traded blows with the young girl, who had received live magical attacks and spells from the girl and retaliated in return, with the greatest possibility of injury to both of them; She was in the best position to assess the girl’s skills, to evaluate her abilities, measure her composure, her knowledge.

And, asides from one…minor incident, she had found the girl’s overall display most excellent.

Which is why she wondered why she wasn’t the one performing such pondering, the same level as her two guardians in this room were performing.

She had to know.

“Private Smith, Private Wesson. What’s wrong?”

A hand slammed down loud on her desk no sooner had she asked. Smith slowly threw the report he held with his right hand unto the table’s surface, with a most heavy sigh and a determined gaze. Similarly, Wesson had laid his copy on the glass coffee table.

The former spoke first, his tone polite, yet with a solid edge.

“Enforcer Harlaown sir, me and my brother feel that Mai shouldn’t be allowed to pass this exam.”

This was a joke right?

“Smith, I’ve already passed Mai based on my judgment, and I’ve already told her of this. Surely you kid.”

Unfortunately, Wesson also revealed his thoughts.

“Smith’s correct. Mai cannot be allowed to pass this exam”

Fate was visibly incredulous. It was unbelievable. To think that these two could say something like that…

“Smith, Wesson, what is the meaning of this?” she asked them, the confusion and disapproval in her voice increasingly pronounced. The two normally happy-go-lucky Backers clearly meant business.

Smith sat up straight, then turned to face her.

“It mean’s we disagree with your result, which you made despite what just happened back there!”

“You mean Mai’s illusion attack?”

“Exactly.”

Truth be told, recalling that event had made… no, still made Fate shiver, those crimson eyes, glaring at the depths of her soul. That indescribably feeling of dread… She could not remember what she had seen then, what Mai had made her see.

But her body could never forget, and at that instant when she tried to recall that memory, cold sweat trickled down her forehead, and her hands could not stop trembling.

She knew she had been horrified beyond description.

But she still couldn’t understand.

“I don’t understand. According to our intelligence, Mai’s illusion spells are part of her intrinsic abilities as a mage, and there are no limitations on the use of such spells in the exam. Mai had used them to her advantage during the final moments of the individual combat exa-“

“And you would’ve been a nervous wreck now had we not saved you.”

Smith’s interjection stopped Fate in her tracks. He was right.

Had the Linebackers not quickly intervened in the battle like they had, the illusion would’ve gone to full effect, and she would’ve been in even worse shape now.

But…

“It was a decision she made on her part, as an examinee willing to do what it took to defeat me. And as a previously known and disclosed ability, she can’t be considered cheating. It’s my own fault as her opponent that I let my guard down. Tell me the truth now you two, what’s going on?”

The brother’s sober expression was something she didn’t expect.

“Ms. Fate… we’d like you to understand.” Smith spoke up, his features softening, almost smiling about a happy thought.

“Mai… she’s a very special girl. No matter what trouble she caused us both, even if she very frequently puts us more times in the infirmary than any enemy we face out in the field, Mai is, and always will be, someone that both me and my brother care about a lot.”

Wesson joined in. “No matter what we may be to everyone else, we are still Mai’s guardians and instructors. Believe us when we say that there’s nothing we want better than to see her reach her goals with her own hands, and that nothing would make us prouder than to see her pass this exam. But…”

“She… “ Smith picked up on Wesson’s more somber tone. “She broke a promise. A promise between the three of us.”

“A promise?” Fate asked, curious.

“A promise to restrain herself. We had asked her not to use her illusions at any point in the exam, for her very own sake.”

“Why would you ask her to do that… unless…”

Smith’s last words triggered an insight into their intentions. And at that moment Fate finally saw a glimpse of what they were trying to say.

“It’s dangerous isn’t it?”

Wesson nodded in a sad reply. “Glock neglected to add it into the intel, but Chaos Illusion Spells also take a toll on Mai’s body when they are used, and unlike most of her spells these illusions degrade her both physically, mentally and psychologically. Each time she uses illusions, her own brain is exposed to unusually higher levels of Dark Chaos energy, and extended periods of use could potentially destroy her mind.”

“And that time…” Smith continued, a much sadder expression now. “When she assaulted you with her spell… she was using a more powerful spell than usual, thus why you still feel the effects even if you don’t remember anything.”

Fate saw Smith clench his fists, his anger slowly simmering. “Had it gone much longer, she could’ve killed the both of you. At the cost of her own life she was that desperate to win! To defeat you!!

In a damn Enforcer Exam!!!”

It hit her right then. She understood now. Their intentions for their crazy proposal.

Fate understood what the two brothers felt. The worry, their anxiety, and their concern for a person they cared for. She knew all too well.

“Despite these Linebackers, I do agree.”

All three in the room looked to the new female arrival by the door. As if on cue, here was another person who could understand the delicate issue at hand.

“Teana.”

The young Enforcer-in-training walked over to the desk, reports in hand, with a reminiscent look on her face.

“I’m sorry to have eavesdropped on your conversation, but I have to agree with these Linebackers. She shouldn't be allowed to pass.”

The truth at last. LineBackers were angry at her for breaking a promise, which Mai herself seemed to have forgotten somehow. I crave for more!

Me: Ne, Hayate....
Hayate: Hmm?
Me: *shows her above post*
Hayate: Haha, that's very nice of him. Btw, Esta-san...
Me: ?
Hayate: How's the new spell list you're working on for me?
Me: Meh, still in the progress. Canon and the Hammer of Divine Inspiration hate me sometimes, I think.
Hayate: That one's done though, right?
Me: Heh, which one?
Hayate: This one:

Spoiler for That one:

Freischütz

Rank: SS
Damage: Instant death, or severe and continuous damage
Speed: N/A
Range: 300m
Manuvuerability: N/A
Casting speed: Long
Aria:

"I swear, on my Name as the Meister of the Night Sky, that I offer myself as the material for these Bolts of Piercing Death. Cast them from my flesh and bones, baptised by my blood and tears. My soul is their prize; awake awake, the lust for carnage and decay.

Fly, fly, let them fly. Through the forests and over the fields. Six shall find a faithless heart, the seventh will take a hapless fool.

Silence, let none warn him/her"

Hayate's darkest creation, the Freischütz is a projectile of the purest malice that will hit without fail any target she wishes. Nothing can defend from it, nor could it be fooled by illusions and decoys. Only sheer luck (lots of it) can prevent a direct hit.

As Hayate intones the aria, waves of darkness flow from her and converge into a black orb of concentrated negativity. At the very moment she commands it to fly, the Freischütz would have already blown through the heart of the victim (vital core for those without a heart), regardless of distance and protective measures. The effect is instant; no amount of agility can evade it. Even if the Freischütz somehow misses the heart, it can still deal substantial damage and pain if it hits any part of the body, and corrodes the body and soul with a debilitating curse.

The Freischütz is not without its faults. It can only be used against animated (but not necessarily living) beings. Every time Hayate uses it, intense pain (as if she has been pierced by thousands of white-hot needles) runs all over her body. At the same time, a faint black snake-like tattoo will slowly grow all over her body, darkening and spreading over her body with every shot. The tattoo and the accompanying torment (physically and mentally) will remain with her until she removes it with a tedious purification ritual, after which she will be unable to use the Freischütz for at least one moon cycle. Six is the maximum number of shots allowed if the curse tattoo is not removed. The seventh shot will not be under her control, hitting (and killing) anything at random (including herself). If she is not killed by the seventh shot, the curse will then activate and claim her life as payment, her soul lost in oblivion forever.

Me: .................. WHY are you asking about this one?
Hayate: Haha, well, maybe I should do some testing before you put it up with the rest.
Me: Errr.... I think that's not...
Hayate: *surrounds me with Blutiger Dolch* Please? *smiles sweetly*
Me: A..ahh.. Of course, be my guest! (Her fangs are showing!!! )
Hayate: Thanks.

*leaves*


Me: ....

The cockroaches are crying... And the ravens gather for their feast...

*prays for Lowe*

A very ridiculous spell IMO. I don't see why anyone would want to use a spell like this.

Spoiler for off-topic, Fall season turnout:

Oh yeah, out of curiosity, it's been close to two months already since the start of the new fall season, how are the individual shows that you all have intended to watch at the start turn out?

Shana, Clannad, Myself;Yourself has turned out quite well for me... Da capo II... Not as good due to my personal selfish reason and taste Bamboo Blade made me buy it's 5 volume to read ahead Ninomiya-kun and Night Wizard I'm not too sure about... Did they get better after the second episode?

D.Gray-man has finally picked up the story as well And I've just caught up with ef - a tale of memories, which I think is rather good and have very interesting characters

All that's left is Gundam 00 and Dragonaut that I've yet watched.

P.S - Prism Ark is the only 'failure' Sigh... Why does this always happen to the show I anticipate the most every season?!?!

Fall has been ok for me so far. Clannad is proving to be very entertaining; Gundam is intriguing but IMO still to early to consider it EPIC; Rental Magica is the surprise of the season for me; Night Wizard is pretty cliche but it isnt too bad; Dragonaut is another so-so cliche one; Prism Ark is a huge disappointment not only because of the piss poor excuse for animation quality but also for its lack of conforming to the original material; Ninomiya-kun is just your regular fanservice series of the season, nothing to expect from it but just take it at face value; and Shana II is great so far though I'm a bit annoyed by the lack of action.

The rest are some that I haven't watch, probably won't watch, or haven't watch enough to make any comment.

Which get's us shit like one novel talking about engaging enemy ships at 50 miles and another book discussing blowing up asteroids at 10 light minutes (I'm not making this up by the way), or one guy has shields falling from a handful of shots while others have the ships trading fire for hours with little damage, etc.

I remember a large discussion over what part of the mandalorian war to use for an RPG. What was written in the books, or what was given by the games?

Duly noted.

If we had a heading like that you could cut down on confusion quite a bit.

My method is simple, anything I write is main fanon timeline, NBC basically. if it is alternate, I will specifically state so. Hell, even Keroko-week is NBC, which is why I was patrolling around for OOC behaviour during the week.

Keroko tends to vary, in NBC she is obviously how I've written her. But in AlternateS, for example, she features as Nanoha's cousin.

“Chrono James Halaown just saved the lives of 42 innocent people in this train tonight. And does anyone knows he exists? No. If people don’t know he exists, how can they love him?” With that, C took out a pen-sized device and proceeded to put on his pair of killer shades.

A bright flash lit up and the faces of the people onboard the mangled remains of the train felled into a relaxed and dreamy state.

“Next time a dude comes flying in through the back of a subway train and calls you move to your ass, you do EXACTLY as he says . Not until the killer drone that he is warning the people about bursts through and then you people start moving and panicking about your lives .”

The passengers were coming back into focus and C hastily flashed them again.

“Thank you for traveling with Cranagan City Trains. We apologized for the accident and thank you for your cooperation. We hope you will continue to support our services. That will be all.”

With that, C exited the subway and out into the streets of the city.

~~

“I know what you’re going to do. You’re going to wipe me aren’t you C? That’s why you brought me. To prevent me from making a ruckus .” V said in a rising voice ending in a bawl.

“Sorry man.” C whipped out his shades and device before flashing V.

“Forget all this. Go out, find a girl, fall in love get married and have lots of kids.”

V turned around to look at his fellow diners at the pie shop with a dazed expression.

C motioned to a orange-haired woman in twin pony-tails sitting by the counter.

“I’m sorry but my friend over here is kinda shy but he thinks you’re really hot .”

The girl on look over to the still dazed V and smiled shyly. V just gave a wide grin.

~~~

“And I learned to get along.

And so you’re back from Outer Cadia.

I just walked in to find you with that sad look on your face.

I should have changed that stupid lock.

I shoulda have made you leave your key if I had known for one second you would be back to bother me.

Go on now go. Walk out the door..”

“Yuuno. Bring your head in from that window before I rolled it up in there .” C said with a tone of slight irritation.

“Got it.” And went back down onto his seat.

“Hm hm hm hm. Hmm hmm hmm hmm.” Yuuno toned.

“Yuuno! ”

~~

C came out from the pizza store to find Yuuno barking in tune to “Who let the Rats out” on the Merc’s CD player and cut the music short with the car controls.

“What? ”

~~~~

Spoiler for for above said scene:

“All right all right I’ll give you G.” With that, Z went on his speed dial and handed his cell over to Nanoha.

Nanoha took the phone and turned around with a smug smile.

The voice that greeted her on the other end was not what she had expected.

“Z? Is that you Z? I can be Agent A. You hear me? I can be Agent A…” went the voice before Nanoha chucked the phone over her shoulder in disgust.

“HEEEYAAAA! ” Went the wolf-man and kicked Nanoha square in the jaw, rising up and suspending in mid air ala Matrix style.

Nanoha was not impressed, straightening her dislocated jaw before proceeding to blast Z out of his glass office in a cute giant pink beam with Rampaging Heart.

~~~~

G was about to crush the cockroach under his feet before he left his foot hanging.

The cockroach scurried out from under his foot hurriedly.

“Now that’s real kind of ya. Bless you and thanks .” The cockroach thanked.

“No problem.” G replied, before realizing in all his sanity that a cockroach had thanked him and he had replied in kind non-chalantly.

G look to the night sky in bewilderment, his ruffled gray hair and beard matching his bewildered state of mind and expression perfectly.

~~~~

Once the video was finished, C looked over to find G glossy-eyed.

“Saint. You got involved didn’t you? You fell in love with the Princess and and hid the Light on Mid didn’t you? ”

G was clear to clear up and respond. “No time to lose, we’re looking for the Light now.”

C sighed and went on with clean-up duty.

Flashing the young couple, C went on to intone his message to them.

“Go on a holiday. Take her somewhere nice for a proper holiday. Spend more than 10 dollars this time round. And get some decent clothes before you do that .”

The spectacled red-haired young man nodded dumbly.

“You.” He said to the pinked haired girl. “Get some nice sexy clothes and dress up for your man. Treat him nicely this time .” Dumb nod in agreement.

“And after when you two get back, clear up and get out of you mother’s house to start you love nest you hear me?” C then hurriedly went to catch up with his partner.

Two dumb nods now.

“Wanna go for a holiday ?” Both nodded and got up from the couch.

~~~

“Two days ago I was still licking stamps down in an postal office. I’m asking you to believe who you are.” G explained earnestly.

“Everyone is sad when it rains.” Fate said incredulously.

“No baby. You’re not sad when it rains. It rains because you are sad.”

~~

“It’s not fair .” Fate looked to C with a sad expression.

“Never is .” C replied with same look on his face.

~~

“Well that she’s gone back, how are we going to clear up this mess ? The whole of Cranagan saw us tonight !”

“Still green Slick .” G whipped on his shades and took out his device.

C caught on and followed suit just in time before a blinding flash came from the trio of black towers that stood in the middle of Cranagan City.

“Aww man. I gotta get me one of this babies soon! ”


And one last one for laughs.

Spoiler:

Haha I used to love the cartoon when I was younger! K kicked major ass of course my favorite was when they gained superpower from an alien doohickey and K basically became the thing, and J a ballerina, sorry had his “natural agility enhanced”. The ep with the 6 inch high alien invaders were they end up going Godzilla inside their spaceship was pretty hilarious too.

Sounds like great fun.

Was frikkin awesome.

*Finds the concept of a poster being "OOC" pretty funny*

Really though I’ve just been feeling good for the last couple of days since I got back most of my midterms and did quite well on them, even I have my happy periods from time to time, I have a paper I should be working on instead of being giddy mind you, but I'll just half ass it at the last minute like always.

Friendship through superior bondage? binding?

Well it keeps them from running away while you get to know them anyway.

Yeah pretty much what I'd do though it's only recently become an issue with this side story I'm ponder, but yeah this side will be a slight AU of what I had planned.

Keroko tends to vary, in NBC she is obviously how I've written her. But in AlternateS, for example, she features as Nanoha's cousin.

I don't even really need to do anything that radical since up until just before StrikerS none of my OC where really tied in much to canon.

You have no idea how many times I read through the manga and turn on my video player to re-watch episodes just to get reference materials, not to mention the wiki (which I still feel is severely lacking) and some stuff from AS-Nano's site.

Well you might be able to do something about at least one of those.

That too, though my severe lack of motivation led me to do badly in my course. But to be honest I really lost all interest in the course over a year ago, really dumb to have gone through so long in the course only to realize I didn't like it so, a little too late.

I'm not terribly motivated to bust my butt, but I do like what I'm taking so I can get the energy up when I really need it.

I've been feeling terribly lazy lately, lack of motivation does that. I didn't do as well as I could have in my course this year, simply because of that. Which is why I always tell my juniors and younger friends to always consider things through before choosing a course. Don't pick one you live to regret.

And here I am on the up swing coming OUT of a lazy spell, but that could be because a major holiday is coming up and the family is getting together for the first time in quite a while.

Still...don't lump me with Chaos. His laziness is different from mine.

His laziness is different from everyones.

Fall has been ok for me so far. Clannad is proving to be very entertaining; Gundam is intriguing but IMO still to early to consider it EPIC; Rental Magica is the surprise of the season for me; Night Wizard is pretty cliche but it isnt too bad; Dragonaut is another so-so cliche one; Prism Ark is a huge disappointment not only because of the piss poor excuse for animation quality but also for its lack of conforming to the original material; Ninomiya-kun is just your regular fanservice series of the season, nothing to expect from it but just take it at face value; and Shana II is great so far though I'm a bit annoyed by the lack of action.

The rest are some that I haven't watch, probably won't watch, or haven't watch enough to make any comment.

I have to admit I've been finding it hard to find time to watch half what I've download... I've got a pile of backlogged eps for most series...

Good Lolicon images aren't as easy to dig up as it may seem!

KimiKiss is better than I thought it'd be, but it's still around above average due to it's normal nature.

Moyashimon, Minami-ke, Kaiji, Ghost Hound are so far, the most entertaining for me. Moyashimon is made of CUTE MICROBES FUCK WIN, Minami is Lucky Star without the fail and overrepetitive repetitive jokes, Kaiji's pace is a little slow, but it's entertaining, and Ghost Hound has that surrealism to it.

"Nothing outstand..." ?

Blown away, I wasn't yet. But Clannad and now ef has a firm grip on my attention... To me, the story has been great so far... Though I find myself skipping to the Hiro/Kei/Miyako love triangle more often than I should

Shana has been rather boring for the last 2-3 episodes...

I should start on that soon too

*raises hand* Ano, what exactly does "NBC" mean? *is seeing too many acronyms lately*

If anyone says "news studio," I'll end them.

Well that's quite simple it means Nuclear, Biological, Chemical... wait I don’t think that’s what you meant. No it means “New Belka Chronicles” short hand for the main fanon timeline.

New Belka Chronicles. It was thought up by Kha as a gather name for all his scattered scenarios, and has become the anacronym for the main OC-thread timeline.

IMO, Meyrin isn't bad. But I much prefer AXC.

If what I read in ff.net is any indication, so does 99% of anyone who's actually SERIOUSLY WATCHED the source material, and isn't pulling things out of their ass.

Is that when Grandis makes his "Lord of whatever" statement?

(BTW, Lord of Dunamists will be the title the God-Empress gives him in LegendS...)

Clannad turns out to be surprisingly more entertaining then I initially thought, though the fact that the main lead is the girl I like the least is somewhat disapointing. Though that has made me itchy to start playing the game as soon as the translation comes out.

Prism Ark just doesn't stop disapointing me. Among one the my highest anticipated shows, I'm severely disapointed that this turned out to be a garbage license anime, only intent to squirt a bit more money without any thought. The anime has made me hate Hyaweh to the core in the very first episode, and not many anime can do that. Yet one more I want to play the game of, only this time to get real quallity instead of the garbage that is the anime.

Unfortunately, I'm busy working on a backlog of animes that have precluded me from watching more of the current shows running (mainly DCSS, ARIA the NATURAL, and Nagasarete Airantou).

But from what I can say of the shows that I've watched this season is that a lot of these shows are at least somewhat disappointing.

Now, let's be honest - the shows this season have a pretty tough act to follow: Gurren-Lagann, School Days, Seto no Hanayome, and To the Terra are just a FEW of the well-done series this summer. So, there's bound to be at least SOME disappointment.

Still, for all the hype the shows of this season has had, few have really delivered.

Top 5 shows Hyped this Season (IMO):

Da Capo II: I watched the first 3 episodes fansubbed, then deleted them and just went to Random Curiosity (my #1 anime blog) to get the ep summaries. And while I was hooked @ the beginning, the show shows no signs of advancing Yoshiyuki & Koko's relationship, or of even CHANGING it. At least for the original, there was the whole "when are Junichi & Nemu going to get together?" sort of thing.

Prism Ark: I want to play the game SOOO badly - if only to see what I'm missing. Practically all I hear from bloggers (who've played the game) is that the anime adaptation is crap. I'm going with them on this one.

CLANNAD: I keep watching CLANNAD for the following reasons. 1 - it's KyoAni, and so far they have yet to produce a wholly sucky series. 2 - from what I've read of the game, this promises some actual ROMANCE. As opposed to say, Kanon, which was still good, but made the romance feel forced. 3 - in the blind hope that it's simply not hit the hot streak yet. For me, CLANNAD still has hope, but is definitely not living up to its hype.

Gundam 00: Don't watch - though most of the bloggers are saying that for a Gundam series, it's started out pretty well. To which I say: SO DID DESTINY.

Shana: Shana II seems to be focusing less on the hack-and-slash angle and more on the relationship angle. Which is fine with me, but unfortunately it's still lacking the EPIC of season 1. So, while not bad, currently not living up to the hype.


Are there ANY good series this fall?

Thanks, I liked it too

Poor Elio is already doing his best to keep track of all our OC but we need someone to keep track of all the scenarios that keep appearing all over the place.

With that said, here's chapter 1.

Spoiler for Chapter 1 - Disappearance:
