*Hums 'Burning Rangers'*
Sooo... I finished up all the character-stuff on Rune, just need her bio... And her full name and title I gave her is: "Rune Juril, the Silver Dragoon". I had "Silver Dragon" but "Dragoon" is cool. Plus, Legend of Dragoon is seriously awesome.
Then I even did EDS-47's profile and bio. Though it's a tad... Dark.
Spoiler:
Involves rape.
And her title... No.47 the Tormented.
Then started a Varistan OC I haven't named yet but her title might be "Empress of War".
EDIT:
Ha! Page claimu!
I claim this page in the name of NanoFa- *Beaten and mugged*
Well, Where I'm currently at, it's about 10-15 mins into the new year already
Happy new year fellow comrades, may better anime, manga, and games come to us this year
My resolution is to have more fun than I did last year!
And here's a few small presents from yours truely....
Spoiler for more...:
...Oh yeah, for people who likes Lucky Star, but didn't know about THIS yet...
P.S - Going back to finishing Assassin Creed...
In the year of 2008...

Carlsberg Blockbuster Sunday has been a recent trendsetter for crack Cadia movies, and now we're granted two more:
Last month gave us Mr. & Mrs. T. 'nuff said about this movie rehash, the last time I directed one, it was called Mr. & Mrs. Li.
This month brings yet another project back to life, with Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha FileS aka "The Cleric Knights" gaining yet another sequel:
The Cleric Knights: AVP
After all, kicking alien butt is what the gray-ritter do best. Look out the sequel in the new year!
~~~
Last but not least, we have a new movie of the The Cleric Begins series starring Erio Mondial as the young Kha der Kleriker. This sequel is set a year after the first movie, just after he, also the last surviving Gundam Meister of the Silverna Team, leaves Tokyo. He had been redeployed on orders back to Belka by both the Church Council and Celestial Being as an old threat reared its head. New toys and relationships abound in this dark revisiting of Kha's past.
"People are dying. What am I supposed to do?"
"Endure. You can be the outcast. You can make the choice no one else can. The right choice.
Well...it's time to say: Happy New Year's, everybody!...anyways, some breaking to do now...

Background:
Beros was born on a planet a great distance from Mid Childa by the name of Barbaroi, a desert planet with few settlements save for the vast capital the "Crystal City" a city spanning the length of most continents. His family was, for lack of a better description, average. His father worked for the TSAB's regional office on the planet as an engineer in the Research and Development Department, while his mother was content to stay at home and look after domestic life. Beros grew up with his sister, attending school and studying like every other kid in the city. He became especially interested in the old Belkan magic and began a little at a time pushing out his other studies in order to learn more of the powerful if outdated Belkan. When Beros was fourteen a terrorist attack on the Crystal Cities TSAB headquarters killed his sister as well as seriously injuring his father. In a rage Beros set out into the desert after the terrorists armed with, the still experimental prototype weapon, Sleipnir which he and his father had been building.
For three days he chased through the wastes, unable to catch them, and now too far from home to turn back he eventually collapsed and blacked out. Sometime later he came round to find himself lying in the shadow of a strange woman he had never seen before. As an instant reaction he activated Sleipnir pushing himself from the sand in a rising arc, the blade aimed for the woman’s exposed torso. Sleipnir's basic form was that of a straight bladed sword, unlike the curved khopesh and scimitar swords of his world and was unique in so much as the entire length of the blade was carved with runes, Sleipnir's core was located in an amber gemstone set in the cross guard. In a flash however the woman brought up her own blade parrying Sleipnir, he blade, a long straight, single bladed weapon was not too dissimilar from his own.
Vaulting back he activated his Barrier Jacket for the first time taking in his opponent, she was older than him by some years, maybe in her mid twenties with pink tinged heir kept tidy in a ponytail. Her armour was not too different from his either, a long coat covering essentially civilian clothes with armoured boots and gauntlets.
Recalling his studies he summoned his Belkan emblem beneath him its amber glow totally outshined by the oppressive desert sun. Summoning wat strength he had left he commanded Sleipnir, saluting his opponent in the old Belkan way, he used his most unstable move Hyper Impulse, immediately he shot towards his foe, who merely saluted back.
It was over in an instant, he flew at her with all his strength, as he closed in her device expended a cartridge and wreathed itself in flames. At the moment he was about to connect she swatted him aside easily. He bounced once, hard, before coming to rest in one of the dunes a good fifty feet away. He looked up to see the woman walking towards him before he blacked out again.
When he awoke he was in a cell. Charged with assaulting a member of the TSAB as well as possible additional charges of terrorism. The trial lasted from 2 weeks before it was finally decided that he was not a member of the terrorist cell and that he had mistaken the TSAB operative for one of the terrorists when he had attacked her. The woman, he learned was named Signum, and had petitioned for the assault charges not to go to the courts.
As he left the court on the final day, Signum, who he now seen many times in the courthouse, met him outside, placing a firm hand on his shoulder simply said "You I like. Will you come with me?" he followed obediently where he was taken to a coastal facility where he was introduced to Hayate Yagami, Signum’s superior. Hayate informed him that as he had impressed Signum he was to be granted a test to see if he had what it would take to join the combat team Signum was in the process of creating, a team designed to respond quickly to high level threats and neutralize them. Accepting the test he was led into a large communal room filled with people.

Amalia was born and raised on Mid Childa, the only child of a wealthy businessman she was allowed whatever she wished, unlike most children however this had little effect on Amalia who was a very quiet child, at the age of ten she entered TSAB army academies and quickly showed a great amount of magical potential.
Even with her power and wealth Amalia remained very quiet and grounded, though he self isolation meant she made few friends in the academies.
At the age of fourteen, she graduated the academy with numerous merits and honours and was transferred to the 3rd army battalion where she has been training since, she is considered a rising star in the army though she is yet to see active combat.
She was recently selected to participate in a trial for a new team being formed to deal with hazardous emergency situations, he comparative lack of experience will likely stand against her in the trial but her power and training should pull her through, she’s nervous about the trial as she will have to work with a partner who will be selected by the organizer on the day.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Beros stood at the top of the staircase, Signum to his left and Hayate to his right, the scene before him was bristling with people, all around his age, all mages. He scanned the room, they all looked pretty professional, talking in small group or making last minute checks to their devices. Instinctively he reached for his throat where the pendant that was Sleipnir’s dormant form rested only to remember it had been confiscated. He turned to speak to Signum but she held out a hand to stop him.
“Looking for this? It took me a bit of work but I managed to get the security forces to release it”
She held out the pendant towards him, its carved surfaces resembles a cross with the amber gem of Sleipnir’s core set in the center. He reached out and gently took the pendant, inspecting it for a moment before securing it round his neck.
“It seems you went to a lot of trouble for me, I don’t really understand why”
Although he was speaking to Signum his attention was back on the crowded room. He scanned from person to person, lots of ranged specialists he guessed, if this test was what he thought it was it was going to sting for a while afterwards.
“You’ll understand, soon enough. Ahem. ENTRANT 47! AMALIA FREJYA! PLEASE COME TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS”
Her voice cut through the noise of the crowd like a blade through paper, instantly the room was silent as a girl sat alone at the back of the room got up and slowly picked her way through the crowd towards the stairs. Signum and Hayate began to descend the staircase as he stood bemused, after shaking his head he quickly followed.
The girl reached the foot of the stairs simultaneously with Signum and Hayate while Beros was still a few steps behind, as he reached the bottom Signum stood to one side giving him a clear view of the girl, she was dressed simply in a pretty yellow summer dress with her blonde hair plaited in a long ponytail down her back, she glanced around nervously, aware that everyone in the room was looking at them.
“Beros, this is Amalia Frejya, she is to be your partner for the test, we’ll leave you two to get acquainted.”
Hayate was already a few step ahead before Signum turned to leave, Quickly turning he grabbed her arm to stop her.
“Wait! You haven’t even told me what this test is yet.”
Signum stopped and shrugged him off, turning slightly giving him a hint of the smile playing across her face.
“You’ll see when you get out there, wont you?”
She headed up a few more stairs before turning and shouting to the crowd.
“The test will begin in one hour! You all have your partners, I suggest you use this time to get to know each other better!”
With that she turned and ascended the last few stairs , shared a quick word with Hayate before the pair of them turned and left.
“So..” he said turning to the girl “Amalia was it? Guess we’ve got some catching up to do” He turned the girl around, linking arms with her and leading her back through the crowd.
“Ye-yes, Amalia Frejya, rank S mage, 3rd battalion” The girl finally managed to stutter out the sentence, with obvious difficulty.
He sat her down at a table near the far end of the room “Beros Amizigh, AA rank Knight” He sat beside her “And this is my partner, Sleipnir” He took the pendant from round her neck and held it out towards her, the gem pulsed and the synthesized voice croaked “Hello”
She looked at him for a moment, then held up her hand showing a silver ring with a single Amethyst set in the centre “This is my partner, Mjolnir” the device pulsed and a gravely mechanical voice answered “Guten Tag” Withdrawing her arm she looked around “The competition looks tough, think we can do it?”
He followed her gaze, taking in the details of each person as they passed. “I don’t even know what this trial is going to be, I’ve not been given any information” he gestured to the exit where Signum had left them. “All they told me was that it would be a test to see if I had what it takes to join Signum’s team”
She shrugged “That’s all we really know either, but from what I’ve read about Signum, I’m going to hazard a guess that it will be a combat test”
---A short time later---
Beros stood beside Amalia as the other candidate filled in around them, they had been lead to a large plateau outside the facility where Signum was to give them their instructions. The weather was cold and damp, not at all like his home, though having spent the last few weeks here he was beginning to become accustomed to it. He glanced at Amalia who was talking quietly to herself and staring at the ground.
“We’ll be fine, there’s nothing to worry about!” He beamed at her and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, though he wasn’t sure who he was trying to convince, her or himself. He was about to continue trying to assure her when he looked up, realizing the plateau had gone silent, looking above the heads of the other candidates he saw Signum in the distance ascending onto a stage at the front of the crowd, she had changed from her uniform into he Barrier Jacket and her device Laevatein rested easily at her side. She was followed closely by a woman he had not seen before, Dressed all in green, she looked calm and serene with beautiful calming eyes. As Signum took center stage the new woman took a position a few paces behind her.
“You have all been selected for this on your own merits” Signum’s voice carried easily across the crowd. “As many of you have guessed, this is a combat test, you all have partners who you must work with” He cast a glance towards Amalia who was still staring at the ground “You will be transported to a specially built arena, the rules are simple, this is only a test, therefore your devices have all been programmed to fire only training bullets and deal non-lethal damage from attacks, this does not mean a hit wont hurt. I will be watching all of the time, each team fights alone, you are not permitted to team up with others to gang up on people. I suggest you all activate your Barrier Jackets” She turned to the woman in green and talked to her quietly as the crowd began, at first one by one, then small groups, activating their Barrier Jackets.
He turned to Amalia while taking hold of Sleipnir. “Come on, she said we should activate our Barrier Jackets. Sleipnir. Set Up!” the device bleeped its approval “Drive Ignition. Barrier Jacket Active” came the little mechanical voice’s response. In an instant he was stood with the rune carved longsword in his grip “Its been too long friend” he quickly sheathed the weapon and looked expectantly to Amalia.
“Oh, right. Um…Mjolnir. Set Up!” She held the ring to the sky as it bleeped approval. “Ja! Sperre Jacke Aktiv!” In a flash of purple light she stood, her hair now loose over her Barrier Jacket which comprised of a metal breastplate, a skirt with armour plates, an armoured leg clasp, black stockings and combat boots, in her hand she now held her device in its active form, a full length stave with a snarling dragons head at one end and an engraved hammer at the other. At first he could not locate the core on the device, but upon a closer look he realised the dragons eye was Mjolnir’s core which now pulsed with a dim lilac light.
“If you are all ready then we shall begin” Signum’s voice once again commanded the attention of the crowd as the last few barrier jackets were activated. “Shamal will transport you all, there is no time limit on the trial, it ends when I say it does. Shamal, if you would” The woman in green stepped forward and nodded she cleared her throat then spoke with a soft but surprisingly well projected voice “Don’t worry everyone, ive done this plenty of times before, good luck to you all, I hope you all give it your best and try your hardest” With that she flung her arms out to the sides, summoning an ancient Belkan mage circle not too dissimilar to his own. An instant later an enormous version of the symbol appeared beneath all the candidates, and in a flash they were in a completely different location. Looking around he realized he was alone with Amalia. A field screen appeared before them, Signum stood in the center of the screen with Shamal behind her. “Each team has been placed in a different place to avoid a giant melee on the get go. To those of you using cartridge systems you are advised to watch the amount of cartridges you use as there in no set time limit, you wouldn’t want to run out of power would you? Good luck to all of you. Signum, out.” The screen disappeared and they were left stood alone.
“He’s got four currently in and I’m carrying another twelve, not good odds for an extended combat, ill have to careful” He turned to Amalia “I guess we should explore the immediate area, see what advantages we can make use off” He looked around again, it appeared to be an urban environment, drawing Sleipnir he headed for the nearest building…
Have a good new year guys ^.^
Nice characters, and the story is also interesting, too.

Oh, trust me, it won't be as easy as 'hey, I wanna be an Enforcer' and done. Even with the experience, elite-mage treatement and string-pulling from both Fate and Keroko it will take a full year before Keroko can even begin as a serious Enforcer.
Wouldn't she need examinations first anyway?

Wait, so you're going to actually show some sort of Signum/Agito backstory? Or are you going to wing it somehow with Signum seemingly not really knowing Agito?

Geist MX gaped. “That stance… it can’t be!”
He charged at the Automated Defence Programme, all the way through the air while dodging projectiles fired by the monster. He reached the core of Geist MX, and fired a defensive Reppuken to repel the monster's tentacles.
He charged the fist. “Squall…”
Then he lunged forward.

I've always thought, based on something I can't remember rightly at the moment, that the mere ability to fly requires magic rank A at least. I've chosen to interpret this as meaning as the ability to defy gravity under one's own power (without the use of, say, Wing Road, or riding something that can naturally fly) while also being able to perform other strenuous actions; in other words, the flight ability is second nature to these mages, and they can do so without concentrating that much.
However, I've just read this, specifically the "Mage Rank Examination" section, which states "Also, on average Armed Forces member are usually ranked D~C, while B rank is known to many Air/Ground mages to be an unpassable wall at first."
Am I reading it incorrectly, or does this mean that the Average Air mage, which I'm assuming to mean those nameless grunts who are there mainly as cannon fodder or to be impressed by the Aces/Strikers, but can still fly, does not, in fact, have to be rank A?
Now, the members of the 37th CIAA (with the exception of Nova) are ranked A and above, entirely because I assumed that rank A was a prerequisite for flight. In light of this, though, I have to ask: should I downgrade their ranks? I'd rather not have them be more powerful than absolutely necessary, since I'm pretty bad at thinking up of challenges for the really powerful characters that doesn't translate into a kryptonite weakness or sheer brute force.
If it helps, and for those unfamiliar with the 37th CIAA (still without a proper unit name, despite Ivey's insistence on "Boobies" somewhere in there), this is one of those units which are tasked to investigate and apprehend notorious criminals, like mad scientists who are slightly less accomplished than Jail Scaglietti or Precia Testarossa. They are not elite or well-known, and in fact they are seen as a unit just dead-end enough to send enforcers with troublesome personality quirks to, but not so bad as to be completely hopeless.
I'll have some new Original Characters (well, two villains, one of whom is a mad scientist type) soon, I promise.
Yes, this was somewhat of a loophole in a sense. We know for sure none of those fliers are Air Force members, and yet seemingly most don't attempt flight-training unless they're at a certain level as well.
Rankings are never really requirements in the first place imo, just that being averagely A seems to be the general standard acceptable averagely to be able to engage in flight combat semi-effectively, juggling between flying and fighting.
And maybe what Teana/Nanoha was referring to was attempting flight-training at the Air Force academy, which seems to value better quality/air-combat strength. The Ground Force air mages were never shown to be that good of flight combatants anyway, most of them seem to be around Hayate's level of high-speed flight combat which revolves around floating, then shoot.

Random thought: it's the Year of the Rat (yes, I know all about the difference between Solar and Lunar New Year). Rats are rodents. Ferrets are rodents.
Therefore, please welcome the Year of the Yuuno. Maybe this year he'll get lucky.

Inbetween cooking potluck dinners, serving overtime addict DoTA players and just general holiday business in general, I think Backlog Breaking's gonna take the backseat for a while.
Still, HAPPY NEW YEARS to OC, and welcome the Year of the Yuuno

Well, the AND, AFTERWARDS booklet that speaks of the post-StrikerS conditions of the characters, based upon my shoddy reading, might be marginally wrong, mentioned that...
Vivio seems to be frequenting the Infinity Library for reading material, and her relationship with Yuuno is going well.
Or something like that, I know it states that Vivio/Yuuno are in good terms, and Infinity Library relates to Vivio's reading materials.
So maybe... just maybe, Yuuno might've played his cards right for S4 since we know that in A's to StrikerS, he made the pivotal 'ultimate-path-diverging-choice' by refusing to go with Fate/Nanoha/Hayate on their holiday, which was a trigger to RF6 being formed..

It was VERY-subtly hinted, that Shiraishi likes a Hiiragi sister, and I mean REALLY subtle...
The most 'obvious' hint is the ending song he sang in episode 18.
Too subtle for my taste.
Well, I'm far more interested in that Code Geass : Lost Colors game. Seems to be...far more diverse.

Wasn't Yuuno one of those spying on Vivio during her lessons at the end of StrikerS, along with Nanoha and Arf?

I'm busy trying to find a way for my new OC not to have a magical rank of S, but based on her capabilities required for the story, which aren't so much powerful as broad, she's going to be AAA at least.
If it helps, her boss has a D rank at most, and that's just because I like the idea of using mage telepathy.
In the meantime, here's a brief snippet of the 37th CIAA's first encounter with her:
Spoiler for Nocturnal theft:
"For unchecked dangerous magical weapons fire within city limits," Rancer growled as he sped through the air, "and attempted grand larceny, you are hereby under arrest." He dodged a chaff minibomb, which exploded in a magical lightshow behind him. "Be under arrest, will you?"
A display popped up just above his peripheral vision. "Reinforcements are in place," Nova said calmly.
"Reinforcements? What reinforcements?"
"Ya-hoooo!"
Ivey waved at him madly from the open cockpit of what looked like a "Big Daddy" ED-209 combat walker. "I'm ready to fire when you are, Rancer!" she said enthusiastically, as the mecha's guns lit up with charged magical energy.
"Ivey?" Rancer said in disbelief as he swerved to avoid another minibomb. "What are you doing in that thing? Are you even certified for it?"
"Don't sweat the little details! Main capture guns ready!"
"Dammit, Ivey, don't- just don't do anything without my signal, okay?" The mysterious stealth-suited woman was flying straight towards the building Ivey's mecha was perched on, and Rancer quickly calculated angles. It would be based largely on guesswork and luck, but with the Big Daddies, accuracy was not especially important.
"Rancer, I've got a good bead on the target, any moment now."
"Not yet..." At this distance, the woman could easily dodge the capture net, which would then hit Rancer dead-on. While Rancer was fairly certain that the thing was non-lethal, friendly fire was still frowned on rather heavily by the powers that be, and they would definitely lose their quarry-
The woman coasted upwards, as something dropped from her arms.
Rancer bit back a rude word. "Target has abandoned objective, repeat, target has abandoned objective!" There was no time for a sudden directional change at these speeds, so Rancer simply cut his flight and let gravity do most of the course correction work, diving towards the case. As far as he knew, the composite latticework could absorb any amount of impact damage, but it didn't pay to take chances. "Ivey, now!"
"Fire!" Ivey screamed.
Events became very busy at that point. Rancer grabbed the case, and hugged it to his body, spinning around to engage aerobraking maneuvers up and away from the building he was about to splat into. He could see the lightning bolt crackle from the Big Daddy's guns towards the woman, who was illuminated starkly in silhouette for the briefest of moments. He could also see the deceptively gentle fluttering of the chaff minibombs floating towards Ivey's position.
"Oh, for- Deflection Shield!"
A transparent bubble sprang into existence around Ivey, who ducked as the explosions went off. Perhaps fortunately, the chaff minibombs exploded prematurely, setting each other off before they could do any major damage, but for several seconds it was far too bright to see anything.
"-ancer? Rancer! Ivey! Are you two all right?"
Rancer oriented himself, and carefully drifted towards Ivey's position, lest the ringing in his ears cause his head to fall off. "I... I'm fine, ma'am. Shaken, but fine."
"Same here," Ivey said. All of them were using voice communications only, until the thaumic interference from the explosions cleared up enough for the software to compensate. "My sensors are down, though. Did we get her?"
"Negative," Nova said sadly. "A teleportation spell was detected just before impact, cast from a remote location. It's being traced now, but the route seems to have been gimmicked."
"So that's why the target came here," Rancer realized. "It was a pre-arranged extraction point. They must have planned it long in advance."
"At least they got away empty-handed," Ivey said hopefully.
Rancer shook his head. "Not even that," he said, flipping the case open. It was empty. "I'm afraid that we're going to have to call this mission a failure."

Creator-Kun: Don't worry... we'll cover his back, now that Chaos is back... we're still deciding if we're going to rift a thread or two with the Controlled Dimensional Dislocator. Probably not... yet
Andrei: on the other hand, this might spawn more poking on him... if current trends in the forbidden zone are in the same rate... And i don't like that too...
