Infinite Stratos Character Creation and Fanfiction Discussion

[ZeroXSEED]

Something random:
*Picture of sexy girl*
Ichika: *Frozen*
Rito: *looks away* "AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
Dan: "Look at that waistline"
Saruyama: "BOOOBS!!!!"
Charles: *Drool*
Len: *Blank face*

Something more relevant

That was when Cecilia approached him, with a tray filled with western cuisine. She was visibly irked for some reason “Ooh, surprising, being lovey-dovey in the morning hmm? Did I disturb you?”

The close proximity left Rito aghast; it took him five second to be able to talk again.

“N-no, not like that, please have a seat, Alcott” He don’t want to have a contact with random girls in the morning, but he’s way too nice to offend them outright with no clear reason.

And yet, he changed his seating, one space away.

Stupid hormone.

“… What’s wrong, Reed-san? If it’s about the last night, I’m not angry anymore” Though rather than angry, she felt a little jealous… though, she had something that girl from class 1-4 lacks. And Rito already have a taste…

Cecilia was sure, it’s not really ‘love at first punch’, but something quite related. It’s not really as deep as she thought at first, merely a small crush. Still, it’s quite an improvement… at the very least; he had proven that her distrust for people of opposite gender is not an absolute truth

“Too close… no, what I mean is that we can talk properly this way, facing each other, yeah”

Cecilia was not a fool, and he’s really easy to read, so she didn’t buy that excuse…

Why's Cecilia so stressed?

Side note - How heavy would an IS be on averahe?

[ZeroXSEED]

Ah, maybe I made it too vague. The point is, Cecilia knew Rito is avoiding her for some reason. By this point, she's not really head over heel for him like she is for Ichika in canon, merely an infatuation.

It need six people to carry properly, so I guess somewhere around 200 kg

[Eratas123]

Isn't Cecilia more blunt and headstrong?

Would 10 people be able to fight off its grip effectively?

[ZeroXSEED]

Yeah, but this time, she's not only less cocky but also not clouded by 'mushy mushy' love. With the exception of 'innocent/clueless' girl like Lala or Laura, everyone is playing it smart when doing an approach to the guy they like.

Yes, even shy girl like Haruna or Houki who is constantly angry, have their own method of taking chance.

No, that won't happen.

[Eratas123]

I always got the feeling both her and Rin were friends.

But I thought you said you need only 6?

[ZeroXSEED]

They banter a lot didn't them? It's one kind of friendship as well

I mean to carry it when it's inactive, when it's active, I won't be surprised if the I.S. can throw a motorbike like flipping a plastic chair, and will do the same with people.

Yeah, weren't they always?

I never believed the whole 'half-Japanese' thing, their full names are in Japanese after all...

[Eratas123]

Yeah, but their appearance suggested otherwise. You can tell because the Japanese/Chinese characters have a slight tan while the Sarashiki's are ridiculously pale and red eyed. Not unreasonable people would think they were half something else.

TVtropes also mentions that Tatenashi has her name written in Kanji instead of the usual katakana.

@ Senpai - I saw TVtropes include them in the Les Yay trope

SIde note - I'm using old cartoons (X-men evolution, Batman Beyond, Justice League, WITCH, Spiderman etc etc) for ideas. So far, I at least seem to be getting some new ideas.

[ZeroXSEED]

I knew Batman and Superman, though not a huge fan of them. Rarely I use them as inspiration, probably due to the cultural difference (I heard it's more popular there)

Maya's just as white as Cecilia at least.

As for the eye color, is that really anything to go by? Maya's are green, Charlotte's are purple, etc...

As for TVtropes I just checked and that editor is going under the assumption that she is Russian...in which case you should write your name in Katakana ASSUMING your name ISN'T Japanese...because Katakana is Japan's writing system for foreign words.

I never thought of it as unreasonable...just never had a good reason to believe it.

Their names are totally Japanese btw, so they should definitely be written in Kanji/Hiragana.

[Eratas123]

@ Box - Dunno. I just make her half-russian to make her slightly more unique. Whether she's full or not isn't really important unless the story calls for it.

Besides, she may be Russian in nationality if not in genetics since she's a Cadet and they can choose their nationalities.

@ Senpai - Meh, I just use their character archetypes in fics Batman Beyond's Terry in particular reminds me of the Japanese Anti-hero.

[ZeroXSEED]

Hmm, how should I make Riko's character?

A total shrinking violet or hot blooded tomboy (basically gender-bent Rito)

[Eratas123]

Depends. Do you want Opposites attract or two peas in a pod? There's also the option of making her both: Hot blooded in most situations, but becomes a puddle of goo whenever it comes to romance or ecchi things.

[StratoSpear]

Which would invite more curiosity, a mysterious squad of odd-shaped jets or an unknown towering mech?

[demino_hellsin]

odd jets = curious

giant mech = full scale red alert and cautious drawing of guns and whatever weapons on hand.

[ZeroXSEED]

Hmm, so it's mixed character eh? I can work with that

Towering Mech for sure. Because the sheer audacity of it's presence alone can raise question.

[Eratas123]

Best way to assassinate some: Act clumsy about it so if you get found out, you can make it look like an accident. Works best when target is Chifuyu.

[demino_hellsin]

bump into them stab, walk away like nothing happened. done deal.

[ZeroXSEED]

Hmmm, does it sounds overboard if Lun's early 'retirement' from being an Idol is constant threats by crazed stalkers? I knew some case in real life but just want to be sure.
