*presents medal of Backlog breakers to Aaron*

I retract my statements on the canon spells that Hayate has.. I wasn't aware that they were canon. Oh another complaint for me to level at 7arcs.

I'll be back later for the backlog.

Yup. Bad guy you wouldn't want to be unprepared to face.
Manipulative Business people are some of the villains I like to see in action.

Yeah...<.<

Spoiler for after notes:

Quick and dirty to get the idea there, after getting a sudden jolt here. Combining the traits of the Seeking Researcher and the Sewing Life Alchemist was much fun indeed.

In case anyone's wondering, this ain't no crack. I had this planned long ao and I do intend for this to come true, in one form or another.

SHOU!!! DIE!!!!!

Gut-wrenching scenario with a huge dose of mindf*ck...

Nice.

Vivio: Auuu~?

Noland: Then I shall swear once more. Let the earth and heavens know my vow! I am the Hammer. I am the sword in Your hand. I am the Gauntlet about Your fist. I am the Bane of Your foes and the Woes of the Treacherous. I am The End.

Suddenly, Fate and Nanoha gain a rather unsettling new housemate...

I'll see if I can throw together his spell list and put it up soon. From the looks of it right now... it's pretty nasty.

Spoiler for Varying level of SoD:

"First off, you have to remember that I am only a marginally decent tactician at best, though I think our many discussions have shown that by now. Anything I do or write with Tesla is thus influenced by my limitations. In a way this puts me closer to Seven Arcs way of thinking then many of the experts on this area we have here. Indeed, I did not see much trouble myself with many of the plans the TSAB executed untill it was shown to me.

Canon integration can be a tricky busines in that department. Sure, I could have Tesla point out all the stuff you guys discussed and make everything happy, but that would make Tesla the 'hero' of the story, the main character, and eventually, the Mary Sue. It's one of the many pitfalls in integration: Actually knowing more about the subject then the writers. You get the urge to point such things out and change them. The first is not bad, the second one is.

But I'm straying of the subject, you asked if Tesla ever protested to any of the plans? The answer is yes and no.

In episode 16, Tesla expressed fierce disapointment in the defencive measures taken in he face of a possible attack, she wanted more AMF trained forces on stand-by, and have mages be ready in Barrier Jackets to act in a moments notice. The fact that the people guarding inside were not allowed to carry devices was in fact protested against prior to the meeting, but Hayate explained that they were orders from Regius himself, and he was not about to change them.

Then we arive to another much discussed subject: The defence of RF6. This was not one which Tesla protested against, and the reason for that was very simple: Nobody had any clue whatsoever that Jail would actually come after Vivio. Hindsight is a wonderfull thing, but even on this forum nobody had any clue whatsoever that RF6 would be demolished so completely. The main target by all acounts seemed to be the meeting at the Ground Forces HQ, so that was where most of the defences were placed.

Fast forward to episode 20/21: Once again, from my basic point of view there is nothing inherintly wrong with these plans. The main characters are rare and powerfull mages, and also among the few that have anti-AMF training. Splitting them up to cover the large amount of threats seems like a natural thing. With the Cradle being the largest threat, the largest amount of power was send in that direction."

As you can see, knowing about the subject greatly increases ones critisism against it. Knowing very little about millitary stuff and having only casual notice of LoP, willing SoD becomes a lot easier.

Still, willing SoD is rather easy for me anyway. I am more knowlegable then most when it comes to melee combat, and I can still enjoy the Nanoha combat, despite the fact that if I start looking at it technically, it falls down completely.

I actually did some research into that and found this:


Reinforce II Knight’s Garb & The Book of the Azure Sky
(StS DVD2)
Ancient Belkan practitioners generally equip defensive attire known as “Knight Armor”, but the Guardian Knights wear “Knight’s Garb”, designed by Hayate. (Concerning this, details can be found in the “Book of Darkness Incident” data files) Similarly, the Unison Device Reinforce II dons Knight’s Garb when advancing to the front lines. As fitting the support-type Reinforce II, although it does not provide top-class protection, Knight’s Garb allows for more agile maneuvering. The Book of the Azure Sky is a storage device. Similar to Hayate, Reinforce Zwei’s personal device holds an enormous volume of magic data, which is not used independantly, but makes up half of the magic data available during a Unison.

So yeah, I was wrong, the Wolkies aren't wearing Knights Armor at all.

Whoops.

They're still called armor, aren't they?

Btw, the name came from this guy. You'll see why I picked his name for a good reason.

The Prize's own...

I think you're giving me a tad too much credit here it's not terrible, but let's not go overboard here.

:3 :3 :3

Not really sure quite what you mean but I'll hazard a guess that you're referring to several of them's seemingly boundless sarcasm and cynicisms. In which case you have my own personality to thank for that.

Yes, that.

Yeah Felix has been around him long enough to know most of his games... which sadly dosen't acutally really help him win any of those games.

It adds to the frustration, I daresay.

And to think it all started as crack I thought would be funny... Hell maybe that's why it works it is a pretty (fun)ny sort of pairing I suppose.It's funny cause it's true and I could totally see it happening as Vita dosen't strike me as being the most rational of thinkers when she's angry.

It's the TRUTH, anyway. Or partially, since Vita was after Nanoha's Linker Core and not life.:3

My entire idea with Pixy is that he really just dosen't care anymore he basiclly just dose whatever he wants really. He wasn't always like that though as will be hinted at a bit later assuming I can manage not to make it suck.

Well, that's what makes him, him.

I don't think I gave a ton of insight, but then again maybe my schooling in Criminal Justice is acutally doing something and I'm incorporating said knowledge subconsciously... or you're giving me too much credit again, the later seems more likely.

Didn't know some of those, so it amounts to something.:3

*TK Continues heroically resiting the urge to use Keroko in his fic basiclly just becasue*

*Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko**Use Keroko*



*ME RUNS LIKE HEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!*

From what I understand (having read of but not watch it) he was like the only good thing about the show.

I'm not one to judge that.

<Looks at Keroko>

Was he?

Indeed it can be fun to write sometimes it's such a bother to have to hand all that interaction on a plot of some kind no?

Yep. It also makes the plot easier to expound on.:3

Protective Aaron is protective.

You need to try harder Aaron!

I'm trying!!!T__T

If Goose is annoying you just bonk him on the head it's what I do, usually works. Then again he seems to have a sort of borderline hero worship thing going on with me at times... sometimes it's sort of creepy acutally. I think I kinda know what Nanoha felt like with Subaru.

Hmm...

Felix: It's not the Collateral damage that hurts... hell that's FUN.
Vita: Yeah it's the paperwork you have to do afterwards that hurts.

The meaning's not even acutally hidden it's bloody obvious after all what's one of the things that many people consider part of "becoming an adult"?

So it was...? >___________<

*TK rubs his temples and sighs* Just what we need more Sentai...

Aaron008R: It's not Sentai! It's Kamen Ride-*is shot*

Tk3997: <hefts gun> They're all the same to me.

Well that was the general idea glad to see you at least felt it was accomplished.

I've always thought ice was cool if I could control an element I'd totally want ice. If for no other reason then to COOL OFF MY DAMN ROOM, god it's hot in here!

Concurred...
Summer is not so fascinating for Summer-School takers. So hooott....

Yeah I wanted to try and make the device a bit less generic and at least have ONE device that wasn't basiclly window dressing among my OCs. I tend to focus heavily on the OCs, there combat powers, and tactics and such and think little about the devices this is probably part of my own personal bias I'm very much a "devices are weapons treat them as such" sort of guy I often treat them as sort of really advanced guns and little more.

So I've noticed.
For me, I tend to personalize devices a lot, regardless of how the owner tends to regard them...
The S2BU (Sucks to be you; aka GRUNT) sticks aren't very enticing to use after all...>.>

Notice I've never really invented a new kind of device or seriously played with even the existing ones everyone I have is basiclly using Intelligent, Armed, or Storage devices.

So am I.

... Not too much...>.>

I happen to think his spell list is perhaps my best ever... perhaps because it's like the only one I've ever acutally finished.

Lowe can't seem to fail at Romance if he tried he'd probably end up writing some sort of Shakespearean epic or something.

That's quite true...><

We can only hope It was getting boring without you around to make go @_@.

So I'm the swirly-faced PWN-puppy, huh? >.> <.< >.<

As is to be expected since you are the OC's top Hayate fan.

>_____<

(Oh well, I guess I really am.:3)

Don't worry buddy I'm behind you on that! We're sharing a time line after all and it would be... inconvenient if you failed.

So that's it, huh? <.< ()

Yeah... the LAST thing she needs is to be losing capabilities.

O'Neil is always bored don't worry about him too much.

Oh? I didn't know that...

He'll be back to lazing around soon enough...

Felix: I heard that!

I don't care.

Ethics are for chumps and real life this is fiction screw morals!

It's not a good idea to bleed when you're swimming with sharks...

QFT.

Sarcasm is something I can do as I said I don't take anything that seriously, at least not for long, my own works of fiction included. I've said this before but it always seems to happen that whenever I write anything of any real length sarcasm starts to creep in. I simply cannot do melo-drama to save me life.

To each his own styles...

No it's mine get your own!

Learn to share!!!

()

Acutally you need not worry much about that from a time line perspective I have the arc all planned and it ends sometime in early April. So you get about a month of cool down where most stuff ends back up at the status quo as far as the characters you’re using are concerned.

Err, no. I meant you might overtake the amount of work I've been able to release...><

If you’d like I can PM you a rough end game summary of the major changes and plot points.

Hmm. Nah. I'll rather be surprised.

Is all that I am to you people just VitaXFelix?!

No. But that is one of the things.

Seriously. Where's the additional element to point unsuspecting people to good stuff? Persuasion FTW!

The whole hero worship thing with TK is actually cuz 1) I admire TK's busting; 2) This is the best way I can mess with his head without getting ion cannons on my head :P

Awesome, Aaron. Awesome.

Thanks.

*nods while watching Aaron being chased by anembarassed Nanoha and Keroko*

CAN'T WE RESOLVE THIS MORE PEACEFULLY?!?!

Nanoha and Keroko: <Too busy blushing to listen>

Hey, I've got a name to concider. :3

Now it'll start getting scarier if you and Keroko-chan start switching places.

......

Don't tell me you have similar voices too...>_<

*runs*

Which is one of the parts that give people headaches. He looks like a girl, dresses like a boy, acts either way... GAAAH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?

They already knew eachother from the labs, so they simply remained in contact though letters.

As for references, Uomo only has two references, the first being Tachibana Saki of Snow Sakura, of whom his apearance has been taken, as well as parts of his personallity. The second is Han Solo, of whom the idea of his Barrier Jacket, IS, and other parts of his personallity are inspired.

Ah... Noted.
And of course, I should know Han Solo.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Random in-topic inclusion.

*runs*

Thanks.

Where did you get that idea from?! Jag's no sis-con at all!

*sics Jag on Aaron again*

As for the character changes, I was kinda uninspired while revamping the first two profiles so they did come out abit bland. I did try to steer him away from the berserker outline and change the addiction of drugs to usage instead, and to make him a character who's defined by his desire to survive. Guess it didn't work out too well in the end.

*lies in pool of own blood*

Just kidding...

But the effect is mostly the same, except that his case is a bit lighter.

Well didn't change too much about him so it was expected. Something for GenerationS perhaps? Don't worry I won't try to elbow into your plans but I'm quite curious about the 'similarity in future'. I'm up for a good device discussion, provided I have the time. As for being an unlawful contact, that door's always opened.

Thanks.

Hence why you should display the awesomeness of HayatexGrandis to make us switch camps.

Me: I SURE WILL!!!

Grandis: If you'd only write faster...

Me: >____>

Though the Hayaurion camp is firmly entrenched with long time popular support. Not that I'm one. =3

Actually that's a recycled spell that appears in almost every spell list of my OCs. I'm of the opinion denying mages of their devices is a good way to go.

It is...
It just sounds so convenient a bit...><

As for the dere-dere-dere side, Jas really isn't much of an tsundere so that will be hard to come by. I'll touch on her Hyper Happy mode instead when I can.

Her future road is pretty tough though. Then again, I'm a mean creator. The more I favor an character, the nastier I'm to them.

Moe was unexpected when I didn't provide an actual image to stand on.

She gives that kind of effect.:3

As for the reason why the Prize favors her so much, Jec stands as an keystone in their future plans, as well as her device. (Have fun guessing. ) I can safely say her future is the next clearly developed, and somehow tying into Nanoha and Vivio in different ways. =3

I'm going ;_; at the thought of it though.

Want MOAR details...>_<

Don't remind me. I still go at his pic after so long.

Looking forward to his entrance Keroko. =3

Me too. =3

I realized the original was a tad messed up so I figured why not change somethings while cleaning up?

And that's because C.C. is a wonderful image basis to draw on.

Concurred...

Just finished the Negima manga. As said by Lowe a long time ago, Katrina and Evangeline share so many similarities it's pure >_<. Speaking of which where's Aniki. :/

Dunno. I guess it's work-related.

Holy ****.

No competition here. Aaron's Backlog Breakers are always fun to read.

Thanks.

Edit: Oh yeah. Page claim for Aaron. XDD

Thanks again...

Thanks, anyway, Mirificus. I'll be using the 1st one.

Kudos on that of course goes to our OC tacticians, on-site and off-site ones alike.

Oh yeah...?

While in As, Reinforce Eins might have gotten killed, I swear it. Just get a diversion, and have Chief sneak up under Active Camo... *snaps fingers* you know the drill.

Objection!
Timelines and circumstances don't match well with the availability of ways to deal with her. And I seriously doubt she could be taken down just like that even if they were available!

I will also attempt a stupendous backlog buster ... after this week ends.

Thanks.

Yep, I did.

More developments (and shocking truths!) revealed later. Examination is a jealous time-hogger now.

Understood...

I'm glad you like it, because I didn't expected her to grow up like this myself. I took a few spoonfuls of ideas learned from classes and observations of current children behaviors to come up with this Vivio.

Leraphiel nee-chan will also be a surprise later.

Lazarus is pompous towards other Magi, but cannot do so against the BIG boss.

I busted my brains a few times writing that.

Revelation from Chrono imminent! ... In Chapter 11.

Small note on the Pentateuch Archive, in any case (kind of forgotten to explain this):

Spoiler for Pentateuch Archive:

A high-security confidential collection of important data and information locked by five selected personnel/members using five different authentication mechanisms: password (at least 16 characters), retinal scan, voice recognition, thumb print, and DNA verification (the interface can be made to accept several small drops of blood/lock of hair for immediate sequencing). Hence, the name Pentateuch Archive.

Because it's usually meant to seal away highly important data, the sequence of seals are known only to those who participate in the process. Unlocking the Archive would require repeating the same order of persons who locked it, though the authentication mechanisms can be made to accommodate for unforeseen circumstances (such as death of a person, which eliminates thumb print and retinal scan from use), with a minimal requirement of passing three out of five of the mechanisms.

Regardless, the system is sensitive enough to log in attempts to unlock it, and would self-destruct in the case that it was forcefully breached through hacking or inability to fulfill the unlock requirements without required time-frame. A second chance is given in the event that the system was not forcefully opened, possibly by accidental activation, but that was all before the message contained within would be eliminated from the memory forever should another failed attempt ensued.

Sounds very effective!

Well, you are the top Hayate fan.

Anti-army more than anti-personnel, then?

*scribblesscribble* Might be useful later in my fic as well.

Ohoh... ()

I wonder if it'll ever remove the deep-seated image of Hayaurion, in any case. But, we can all but try, ne?

Not try. I'll DO it!!!
()

Harumph! I'll see if I can manage it!

(Probably not, I've already busted some along the way ._.)

Good luck.

魔導師の食事 - A mage’s diet
For mages, Mana in the atmosphere is linked together in an organ, the “Linker core”, and stored within their body. For quick replenishment, a balanced diet consisting of sugars, carbohydrates and proteins is essential, as are a variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain a healthy body. Therefore out of necessity, mages undergoing hard training during their early growth period eat a much larger diet compared to an ordinary person. Furthermore, pasta and other noodle-type foods are easily digested, so these types of food, known as ｢Loading Foods」, are loved by many mages, since they allow for quick energy and Mana replenishment.

You'd notice that Mana is generated within the Linker Core, and replenishment comes primarily from food and rest. While Vivian may not be a glutton, Mana is a form of energy that has its source from food, which exemplifies the fact that it's a form of physical energy that can be changed to power normal metabolism (law of energy conservation and the first law of thermodynamics). And such energies are consumed by the cells to do work; the more you have it, the more they work, and eventually they either become resistant or die.

If Vivian has "delayed aging" simply because she's brimming with Mana, Hayate is a potential candidate for such "divine manifestation", because her mana pool is large enough (SS). Yet, Hayate is not, so your argument is invalid.

And really, if Mana can be used to do everything, one wonders why there is no supra-godlike mage characters (SSS+) in entire Mid-childa. It can even be that they perish faster because of too much Mana.

Wow thanks for the Info!
Especially the Idea of "perish faster because of too much Mana". May make my Carnage even more dangerous for it's user.

This?!

This is pretty dress!

Yes, that.

Well like I said you can blame me for that I tend to assume the worst and thing realistically (cynically) about most things. That said my total disgust with angst means that I still seem to be producing one of the most idealistic pieces in the damn thread... oh teh ironies.

It adds to the frustration, I daresay.

Almost immeasurably so.

It's the TRUTH, anyway. Or partially, since Vita was after Nanoha's Linker Core and not life.:3

Well that's what she says now, but at the time... bitch messed up her hat it was personal.

Well, that's what makes him, him.

For better or worse...

Felix: Definitely for worse.
Vita: Yeah it's not even really up for discussion.

Didn't know some of those, so it amounts to something.:3

Yep. It also makes the plot easier to expound on.:3

Not really sure what you mean here, but I know in my case most of my ideas are basiclly having some nifty brain fart about some cool interaction or scene which I quickly begin writing which is then quickly followed by "Hmm I'm probably gonna a plot to string all this crap together" at which point I then attempt to construct one.

Basically this entire fic and plot grew out of "lol VitaXFelix!!!" and the need to crap out some reason they'd be forced to spend time around each other...

I'm trying!!!T__T

Do or do not there is no try!

So it was...? >___________<

Sigh... Naive Aaron is so naive.

Aaron008R: It's not Sentai! It's Kamen Ride-*is shot*

Tk3997: <hefts gun> They're all the same to me.

Well it is… really when all you guys start going on about Ranger this and Rider that I tend to take that as a queue that I’ll have some free time to go read some news from the defense industry or just technology in general. Seriously while you guys are all screaming about transformations, combo attacks, and special moves in IRC I’m often off reading crap on wikipedia and stuff. For instance did you know that the destroy HMS Glowworm (least manly ship name EVER) rammed the German cruiser Admiral Hipper after expending all her torpedoes and coming under massive fire from the vastly superior ship during the invasion of Norway in WWII thus earning her captain the Victoria Cross?

Wikipedia really is the greatest thing ever even if it dose have some problems.

That could almost make a decent AU Don't expect me to write or read it though her and the knights are basiclly my favorite characters in the show after all.

Hmm, well technically the Yami no Sho could revive the knights over and over again, so that wouldn't really happen. What would happen though is that our far more profesional observation teams would spot the Wolkies doing their daily activities and trace them back to Hayate, then they'd wait untill she was alone and step in to detain and negotiate with her, Hayate would understand what was happening and call her knights off while everyone figured out a more peacefull sollution to the problem.

Alpharus is the oldest of the Primarch at age 45, the other Primarch were cloned later when Alpharus proved that a mage cloned from the Royal Line were great leaders and fighters, Alistina is the second Primarch, cloned from Vivio's genetic data when she was born, and acted as her personal bodyguard since then. Noland could have been the third (the uneven numbers are all male, while the even numbers are female).

Hehe, this will make Noland's reaction to Keroko even more brilliant. >3

Thank you, that makes it a lot easier to work with him, and I already have figured out a reason why the blood on his hands matches Vivio too.

Basically? Yes. The remaining characters are either wimps, annoying, useless moe-blobs, or any combination of the three. The plot was horrible, the lead girl had the most horrible VA I've ever heard, the main lead's best friend was the most annoying character I've ever seen and so on and so on. The only two characters who were somewhat amusing were Hachi (the male punch-bag of the story) and Shinya, who's horrible sense of direction and bluntless was somewhat amusing.

If it wasn't for Jun, I would have never watched that piece of Garbage they seemingly call anime. If you watch anime, watch it for Jun. If you don't like Jun, don't watch it at all.

Trouble is, there is no peaceful solution. You know that if the Book doesn't get fed, it will consume its master instead.
The "least harmful option" is also the most risky one. Awaken the administrator program and then wrest control from it to Hayate, just like in the anime.

Because I don't recall Shamal teleporting when she was out shopping for dinner, or Vita teleporting when she was playing cricket with the old men. Like I said: During their daily activities. Whereas the Arthra crew never found them, our vastly numerous teams surely would. They'd, say, notice Shamal when she was shopping, follow her back home, and relay the information to their temporary base.

I know, but there are more peacefull ways of doing so then what happened in the anime. Hayate won't stand for her knights to go into battle with people from the bureau, already eliminating combat. After that, we would have time to research it. Also note that the program took control because Hayate was in a state of despair, if Hayate was fully concious, then regaining control would be much easier. At the very least they could relocate everyone to a safe place, like an uninhabited world, and commence the operation, having the Arc en Ciel on stand-by in case things go wrong.

Of course, that is assuming there really is no other option. At that time they were sort of hard-pressed to stay alive, they didn't really have the time to figure out a good solution. With time and effort, it could very well have been possible to rewrite the Yami no Sho and revert the damage done to it, reverting it back to the Yaten no Sho. Yuuno did have more information on the Yaten no Sho then even Reinforce had.

Also, on a minor note, actually feeding the Yami no Sho also speeds up the tempo it eats its host. Not feeding it is actually delaying he entre ordeal.

Of course, this is all just baseless theorycrafting.

Nicely done, and do forgive if I miss things. Work stacked on top of Randomness of the Day + Bloodrage means I miss the cheese for the crack.

I think SaSword is a better pet since he's so small and hard to hit. Not to mention the insanity that would ensue then they're trying to get him off

Hmm, well technically the Yami no Sho could revive the knights over and over again, so that wouldn't really happen. What would happen though is that our far more profesional observation teams would spot the Wolkies doing their daily activities and trace them back to Hayate, then they'd wait untill she was alone and step in to detain and negotiate with her, Hayate would understand what was happening and call her knights off while everyone figured out a more peacefull sollution to the problem.

Makes you wonder why good old Gil didn't think of this. Yeah yeah, I know, demands of the plot and all, but I say he had more sinister motives than what he let us see, 'till he got caught and came up with that "I'm doing this to make her happy!" bullshit.

The "least harmful option" is also the most risky one. Awaken the administrator program and then wrest control from it to Hayate, just like in the anime.

I don't see what's so risky about that. Call in a device meister, get a professional opinion and possibly debug the thing instead of trying to destroy it (betcha none of the book's previous masters would've thought to do that; too power-hungry) right off the bat. If that doesn't work, evaluate all other options and take those if you find any. If you can't, have Hayate, the Wolks, Nanoha and the crew ship out to some uninhabited planet and awaken Reinforce there, just to be safe. The worst that'll happen is that Hayate will lose control to Reinforce (and there's no reason why she would, since she wouldn't be forcibly put to sleep at first and can assume control immediately) and die a bit sooner than normal.

[Sheba]

More and more people going to watch Maid Guy? Just to warn you guys, the only laughs you should expect is the kind you usually get from the likes of Jim Carrey's first comedies or American Pie. The cheap kind. No subtle wordplays or cultural jokes.

But this show is really worth the watch for Kogarashi's insane antics. And his "kukuku".

At the very least they could relocate everyone to a safe place, like an uninhabited world, and commence the operation, having the Arc en Ciel on stand-by in case things go wrong.

One hitch. How are they going to awaken the Book without feeding it? That's actually why I labelled this plan as most risky. Not that it was awaekend in a populated area.

With time and effort, it could very well have been possible to rewrite the Yami no Sho and revert the damage done to it, reverting it back to the Yaten no Sho. Yuuno did have more information on the Yaten no Sho then even Reinforce had.

And none of it seemed to have any hope. Everything in A's seemed to give the impression that the Book was not only corrupted, but corrupted in such a way that undoing or avoiding the corruption was impossible. Like someone purposefully designed it in such a way, like a certain anime studio for example...

Also, on a minor note, actually feeding the Yami no Sho also speeds up the tempo it eats its host.

Another mistranslation again? I recall one of Yuuno's briefings from the Library that the Book will consume its host if it isn't fed with magic from other mages. It does consume its host after it awakens, but that's a different event.

[Comartemis]

The fact that the Wolks show up pretty frequently in Uminari should be a pretty damn big hint that they live in the area, or that there is something of interest to them in the area. They engaged Nanoha and the rest, what, two or three times in the same city? Someone would've picked up on that. Sure the first time they were after Nanoha's linker core, but why would they have come back once they got that? And that's not even counting the bureau forces they dispatched in that area prior to Nanoha's involvement.

I actually wondered why they didn't catch that the first time I watched A's. I mean, someone should have picked up on that. Unless the Wolkies had some unnatural fascination with Uminari, it's kind of obvious once you look at it with a decent eye.

That said, I bet the Wolkies would have figured out they were being tailed before long. They're a pretty sharp bunch; unless Hayate files a missing person report because they stayed away for a while (:3), I bet they could stay out of trouble long enough to finish the Book.

History:
Felix was born on a fairly unremarkable administered world near the core of TSAB space his family was upper middle class family his father and mother ran an accounting business together it seemed rather unlikely Felix would be anything but ordinary. During his youth his parents where often busy with there business and Felix had allot of unsupervised free time; he didn’t really use it particularly wisely. From an early age he was never a particularly nice child and frankly his parents didn’t help by being very lenient with him even when they where around. His big mouth often landed him in fights, but luckily he quickly became nearly as adept with his fists as wit. If one where to take a look at his currently sealed juvenile record they’d see a string of petty offenses ranging from underage drinking, to fighting, to petty theft and vandalism.

By his early teens it began to look more like he was destined for prison more then anything else. Something that would change everything happened around this time though Felix’s family had no know history of magic talent but all the same around when he hit 14 to 15 he started to display significant power in it. He didn’t take this as a sign to shape up or be more responsible either though. Acutally his first thoughts were how he could use them for profit roughing people up for other people seemed like a good place to start and pretty soon he was working as muscle for various legal and less then legal local business. At 18 while on one of these jobs he and some others with him got into a confrontation with there counterparts from another employer words became heated, devices were drawn, and when the dust settled two of the other guys were dead.

Felix decided this would be a good time to skip town and before the bodies where even cold and without even bother to say goodbye to anyone skipped town to parts unknown and never went back. For the next two years or so he drifted from world to world finding work where he could. It wasn’t nearly as easy as he’d hoped and these two years are some of the least fondly remembered of his life as he often had to work menial manual labor jobs and was indeed homeless for significant portions of this period. While drifting though he found a job that would change his life rather dramatically for better or worse; the war on Osea was starting up and the word was out that for anyone with magical talent and minimal morals lucrative contracts were there for the taking. The paychecks on offer had more zeroes behind them then Felix had ever seen and he was quickly signed up and on his way.

The war turned out to live up to it’s billing and Felix quickly found himself plunged into the mess head first; his first sortie happened the day he arrived and that set the pace for the rest of his time on that crap hole. Combat was constant, fast, and unforgiving it made those that lived well honed killing machines and weeded out the weak with ruthless efficiency. Felix’s lack of morals or compassion served him well he looked out for himself first and everyone else second and mercy was not a word in his vocabulary he was going to survive and anyone that got in the way was going to die. That was the basiclly the mentality he flew under for the first six months or so of the war most of the guys around him where just as bad or worse and so did little to change that attitude.

Overtime he began to gain something of a reputation he proved to have a knack for air to air combat and after a few months was considered to be one of the top aces in his theater. Felix cared little about that and was mostly interested in the fact more confirmed kills netted him cash bonuses. This reputation brought him to the attention of the allied “Ace of Aces” though Tony Jones known more commonly by nearly everyone as “Cipher” was recruiting members into a sort of mercenary dream team a small but elite unit intended to act as a shock unit in the soon to be commenced counter offensive operations.

Felix signed on mostly because the new position promised a much higher salary at first he was rather un-enamored with his leader he considered him overly idealistic and was at times openly antagonistic to him despite his reputation. He was at first convinced he was going end up leading them all there to deaths on some fool heroic quest. He found something of an ally to this view in another member of the unit “Solo-Wing Pixy”, Pixy was less antagonistic and a bit more philosophical about things though.

Over the following months though Cipher proved an extremely capable leader able to lead them to victory and win battles without the ruthlessness and violence he himself tended to advocate. At first this vexed and annoyed him not least because it was making his own opinions and worldview harder and harder to defend. Finally after awhile he began to grudging accept that perhaps there where other ways to do things besides his own though still luke-warm his attitude toward Cipher became at least grudgingly respectful and he was willing to follow his orders without much debate.

His exposure to Cipher also gave him a bit of perspective on his old habits and how many others he’d associated with still behaved. He wasn’t all that proud of what he saw and he slowly decided that while he’d probably never be as idealistic or well centered as Cipher was he could perhaps still endeavor to be slightly less of a self centered douche all the same… This change culminated in him acutally throwing himself in front of Cipher and taking a stab wound to the gut meant for the other mans back at the very end of the war. This is something he doesn’t like to talk about and still insist is quite possibly the stupidest thing he’s ever done.

It took several months for him to recuperate after the war and by the time he was back on his feet the war was over and everyone had scattered to the four winds. Back on his own he went back to what he’d done before… well sort of. While he became a freelancer again he now stuck to legal jobs and made some effort to stay out of trouble unless it was really necessary to get into it. He eked out a lower middle class living as a private investigator, security, and sometimes bodyguard on several core TSAB words for the next few years.

It was around then that the second major life altering event smacked him upside the head when he found and after much harassment by the kid was forced to adopt Alan. Anyone that had known Felix back when he was 18 to 20 would have suffered a heart attack at the idea of him raising a child. Indeed even when it happened he was hardly the ideal parent but by some minor miracle he made it work: mostly. It was also around this period he got back in contact with Pixy and Cipher he’d talked to both a few times since the war, but it was only now that they began to have more regular contact. Pixy took to training Alan and the three would occasionally take jobs together.

Roughly 6 years before the JS incident the third major event occurred a general in the TSAB Air Force was hunting for talent, preferably outside the TSAB rank structure proper. He came looking for Cipher and Cipher wasn’t adverse to what he purposed and he intern when to Felix and Pixy intern. Felix was the most reluctant of the three, but a steady paycheck would be nice (he hadn’t totally lost his attachment to cash after all)
and working for the TSAB could have its perks… He agreed and all of them signed on with O’Neil.

O’Neil ran a number of legal and less then legal groups and operations under the somewhat amorphous Special Operations and Private Contractor Command for the Air Force. He mostly used this position to overstep Air Force authority whenever it was the expedient way to solve a problem and to generally push his own view of how the TSAB ought to work. Felix and company where part of one of the more public faces of his activities they often worked on non-administered worlds and the frontier basiclly doing anything that required allot of power and slightly grey morals. Felix liked certain aspects of the job and hated others, but overall he found the work fairly agreeable.

Once he had them hooked O’Neil made numerous attempts to get the various mercs he employed to “go pro” as it where and flat out join the TSAB. At first none jumped at the chance although as they became more and more tied to the TSAB the reason for refusal started to sound a little lame. Finally in MC 075 Cipher gave and took a commission, Pixy followed not long after, Felix stubbornly held out the longest but in the end finally gave in early MC 077. Numerous others had also been recruited by O’Neil and in the political chaos following the JS incident he accelerated some of his originally longer term plans… and Felix lucky bastard he is got to be right in the middle of these.

Personality:
Felix even today is a bit of an ass, okay more then a bit and while people that have known him for many years can assure you he used to be worse even today he can be abrasive to say the least. Perhaps his most outstanding trait is an overriding and pervasive cynicism about nearly everything and a bottomless well of sarcasm to match. Some deal with life with humor or stalwart resolve Felix uses sometimes fatalistic and almost always negative sarcasm instead.

To see him display anything besides indifference, loathing, or sarcasm is very rare. People close to him know it’s vaguely possible for him to express more positive emotions, but they also know he nearly never dose. Even after decades he’s still suppress such things almost by instinct and perhaps also out of some desire not to appear “weak”.

Ethically and morally he’s a bit better the Felix of today values most laws to a point though like his closest friends he’s big on upholding the “spirit” of them sometimes at the expense of the letter. He’s acutally been known to give his enemies the chance to surrender nowadays too though if they waive that right he shows them little mercy. He prefers his fights lopsided and stacked and has no qualms about beating on someone weaker then him.

Magic Abilities and Combat Style:
Primary Specialization: Ranged Air to Air Combat
Flight Rank: AAA+
Composite Offensive Rank: AAA+
Composite Defensive Rank: AAA-
Composite Support Rank: C
Composite Electronic Warfare Rank: C+

Felix is acutally a very stereotypical Mid type mage almost an archetypal example acutally effectively totally excusing close combat and yet not much the worse for the decision. His experience on Usea alone has given him more real world experience in mage to mage aerial combat then almost anyone in the TSAB, never mind the 15 years that followed that. This has given him a wealth of practical experience in countering and dealing with all manner of situations and tactics. Indeed this wealth of knowledge was the main reason O’Neil decided to have him placed as an instructor.

As noted Felix disfavors close combat and he often treats practitioners of it with a certain amount of distain considering many of them either crazy and or a tad thick. He’s a great proponent of ranged combat and perches a doctrine of maneuver and ranged fighting over close combat. He’s not stupid though and realizes that at times the enemy will get close and so he has a solid defense and knows how to avoid or break out of close combat if it happens.

Aerial combat is where he’s most comfortable and he’s an accomplished flier and few mages are noticeably more agile or quick in the air then he is. Even so he’s also well equated with fighting on the ground as well and another thing he tends to stress is that cover and concealment can be just as vital as using the right spells in combat. He’s not at all adverse to hiding and exploiting terrain to gain a tactical advantage and indeed it’s a common tactic for him when direct confrontation seems disadvantageous. While not a tactical or strategic genius he’s none the less capable of planning and thinking ahead and relays less on intuition and more on thinking ahead in combat.

His focus is very much combat oriented though he has minimal support or EW capabilities.

Device:
Device name: Murru
Device type: Intelligent Device fitted with a cartridge system.
Appearances and overviews:
Storage: A spiffy sand colored beret, very stylish and color coordinated with his current uniform.
Standard Deployed Form:

The devices default form on activation it’s well balanced with the obvious caveat of being a nearly useless close combat weapon. Most of his spells are available in this mode, though a good number are weaker then in…

Assault Form:
(disclaimer, not mine in ANYWAY ripped off some guy on DA that I can't remember all props to him though)

The devices second and final form in this mode Felix gains access to the few spells he can’t use in standard form, and most of his others gain a power boosts at the expense of speed and increased energy demands. The weapon is also somewhat bigger and though still a terrible close combat weapon it’s long enough to kind of use as a club…

Barrier Jacket:
Standard: A fairly innocuous brown trench coat that falls to the ankles, acutally plain enough to be reasonably worn on the street without looking like a total dink. Underneath is a set of black slacks and button up white shirt. Even really calling it armor is a stretch, but it’s inconspicuous, not constrictive, and can be worn on the street which was the general idea.
Assault: The outer jacket is maintained but armored grieves, shin guards, and a vest with shoulder extensions are added. Protection is increased but overall speed is decreased and any pretenses of stealth are lost.

Spells (minor reworking underway):
Defensive:
Protection:
Your bog standard auto-guard simple, effective, timeless.
Reinforced Protection:
Mark II 360 energy bubble, again nothing fancy.
Round Shield:
Gee I wonder what this dose…
Countermeasures:
A sort of magical chaff it spits out a number of small short ranged magical projectiles that detonate in the path of pursuing homing projectile and tend to foul their guidance and movement abilities making evasion or interception easier.

Movement Powers:
Flight:
This is ridiculously obvious, but he is a rather good flier with considerable practical experience in aerial combat with other magic users. He flies via simple gravity manipulation and has no wings or anything.
Burner Rush:
A bog standard movement power, turn it on and move faster over a short distance not much else say.

Mics:
Restrain Lock:
Bog standard binding spell attempts to immobilize the arms and legs at the wrists and ankles respectively.

Offensive:
SR Magic Missile, MR Magic Missile, LR Magic Missile:
All are effectively the same spell but with escalating range and accuracy and proportionally decreasing power and numbers with the pre-fix letters denoting Short, Medium, and Long Range variations. Often abbreviated simply to SRMM, etc pretty much just a minor variant of the shooting spells most ranged oriented mages utilize. SRMM are launched in packs of 10 to 12, MRMMs 6 to 8, and LRMM in groups of 4 or 5.
Burst Fire:
His device simply fires a stream of unguided and weak magic bullets mostly used to harass and disrupt casting or as a defensive spell against incoming fire. Range on the bolts isn’t inherently poor, but accuracy is which restricts its use to short range for the most part. If the targets are quite weak on the defense though it can be used as a kind of long range shotgun to house an area with a rain of bolts and keep a targets head down.
Assault Blast:
Pretty much just a magic missile but only one bolt instead of several and with allot more striking power as a result, loading cartridges can increase its power fairly dramatically until it approaches the level of things like Divine Buster (though only against one target). Without using cartridges though it’s a fairly standard middle of the road attack pretty good accuracy, pretty good power, pretty short casting time.
Flak Shot:
Similar to assault shot but instead of relying on a direct impact upon getting near the target it can explode bombarding them and a fair sized area with a spray of magic “shrapnel”. It can also be set to impact and explode directly on a target, in which case it dose only a bit less damage then Assault Blast but also still has a limited but notable AOE competent. In either case it takes more power to cast and isn’t quite as accurate, it normally uses a single cartridge, though as with Assault Blast several can be loaded to scale up it’s power.
Shield Breaker (Assault Form required):
A surprisingly innocuous looking upper tier attack it consumes several cartridges and yet produces a beam superficially similar to those many mages pump out in machine gun like fashion. That’s acutally part of what makes it so dangerous… it doesn’t look that dangerous. Underestimating it is a mistake that has cost many their lives the beam might not look that powerful or be all that spectacular, but its penetrating power is extreme. It pierces all but the strongest shields like they aren’t their and a Barrier Jacket is child’s play and once you’re past those… well even a wound just a couple inches across through you’re torso tends to be quite fatal. The beam sadly has no real tracking capabilities, but is very fast and difficult to avoid if the shot is well aimed.
Maser Breaker(Assault Form required):
Felix’s ultimate “f*** off” attack like various other sorts of “breaker” spells it’s a collection type that involves harvesting residual magical energy into one hell of an energy blast. It also takes about 2 weeks to cast, well not really but it can feel like it in the middle of a battle.

As an alterative to the above he can like some other mages also load a rather ludicrous number of cartridges to gain much the same effect faster though he’s reluctant to do that since as he puts it. “Okay think of the worst hangover you’ve ever had, you got it? Okay now imagine it’s twice as bad and it lasts like half a week.”

And Just to round out my Power Trio I finally present you with a Proper (mostly) complete Profile for...

Spoiler for Solo Wing Pixy:

Name: Harry Foulk
Other names/alias: Garm-2, Solo-Wing Pixy
Age: 37
Birthday: June 15
Height: 5’8
Weight: 155 Pounds
Eye color: Green
Hair color: Dusty Blond
Origin: Administered World Usea
Composite Mage Rank: S-
Magic Type: Belka/Mid Hybrid
Magic Color: Red
Element Preference: none
Affiliation: Formerly Independent Mercenary, currently Assistant Enforcer
Position/rank in TSAB: Deputy Enforcer

History:
Pixy’s early history is hazy and he doesn’t really talk about it even amongst his close friends the most that’s know is that he appears to have no blood related family to speak of and that he was born somewhere on Usea. Official records provide little to go on either and before he appeared amongst the mercenary forces during the Pan-Usea war about 15 years ago his he was effectively a ghost. This mystery and his brutal efficiency in combat though quickly earned him a fearsome reputation among the fliers in that war.

He earn his more common name after the entire flying wing he was part of was annihilated and he pushed on and obliterated the enemy and the objective nearly single handily. He barely made it back from the ordeal and it was consider a minor miracle or “magic”. A off hand joke about a pixy doing it when combined with him soloing a mission intended for a wing of mages quickly got out of hand and the name he would carry with him for decades was born.

As noted Pixy had a rather fearsome reputation during the war this wasn’t even so much do to him being sadistic or brutal so much as willing to do whatever it took to win. The problem came up due to the fact that winning in that sort of war often necessitated allot of violence… Pixy had a somewhat bizarre attitude about the entire thing on the one hand he seemed to accept that the violence was inevitable and accept it to some degree, but on other also at times seemed to be greatly disgusted by it. As things dragged on and the war seemed to become more about the various attacked nations using it as an excuse for a land grab and less about opposing unjustified aggression the later feelings seemed to take over in force and he began to view everyone involved in the entire thing as morally bankrupt.

The last straw was the detonation of the enhanced nuclear bombs by the NBF in the ensuing chaos he disappeared and most assumed he’d simply gone AWOL. He had, but not simply to fade away and him and others like him feeling that every governmental institution on the planet was beyond saving had a plan to fix things… by destroying all of said institutions; violently.

Of coruse destroying the global order isn’t easy it takes something big to do it like say a monstrously large enhanced nuclear bomb lowered into a super caldera on an unstable inland in the middle of a sea that most of the major powers on the planet bordered. The tidal wave alone would probably kill millions and ruin most of the planets economies the ash and shoot that would blanket the planet and cause a minor ice age would finish the job. A more reasonable person might note that there was no assurance that what emerged from this genocide would be better then what preceded it and indeed it would likely be worse. These people should know that terrorist are rarely all that rational and it was felt by this group that the current order was so corrupt that anything that followed it’s death could scarily be worse…

The group, Pixy among them, came frighteningly close succeeding in there plan but were finally stopped with mere minutes to spare. Pixy was badly wounded in the battle that preceded this and the few that even knew he had been there assumed him to be dead directly following the battle. Indeed by all rights he should have been killed but he ended up being rescued by locals and nursed back to health his saviors oblivious to fact he’d tried to kill them all not long before.

This entire incident caused him to vastly rethink his world view and with nothing better to do for months then sit and brood he eventually came to the conclusion his previous feelings had been monumentally misguided and he’d been narrowly prevented from doing something utterly unforgivable and given a second chance. With that he decided to do what he could to make up for his actions starting with somehow trying to even the score with the man that had saved him from himself: Cipher, well Felix too he supposed though truth be told he didn’t feel THAT bad about stabbing that bastard.

It took him awhile be he eventually found both of them Cipher was remarkably willing to forgive and forget, Felix took quite a bit more prodding but eventually came around mostly when he got Pixy to agree to take over training his recently adopted kid. Apparently getting regular breaks from having to take care of the little monster to him at least just about made up for being stabbed. While rumors about him persisted the fact was the only two people that could have truly linked him to any wrong doing regarding the entire mess were Felix and Cipher and since neither of them were talking Pixy was basiclly in clear legally.

In the ensuing years he hung around with and continued working with the pair and eventually followed Cipher into the TSAB. He was the second of the three to make his joining official and was shuffled off into the Enforcer as an assistant to an acquaintance of O’Neil’s the better to have more people he was in good standing with through out the various branches of the TSAB…

Personality:
Pixy today is an often jovial likeable sort of fellow that can always crack jokes and see the lighter side of situations; at the same time he’s also a hardened killer unrepentant of his sometimes gruesome profession or most of his sometimes bloody past. He’d buy you a drink at a bar and then try and kill you the next day if he happened to encounter you on the wrong side of a battle, and if you and him both survived and met up back at the bar afterward he’d buy you another drink.

Wised to the sometimes less pleasant side of world, but not quite broken by it he knows how things often are but can still be optimistic about what the future might hold. This wasn’t always the case and it took a beating and a near death experience to reach this level of enlightenment, but hey no pain no gain right? Overall he tends to view his life now as a second chance and attempts to live it well and thoroughly. Some might ask why he then keeps venturing onto the battlefield but it’s quite simple really: Life just isn’t worth living if it’s boring.

Pixy isn’t as optimistic as Cipher sometimes, but nor is he as cynical as Felix and serves as something of a mediator between them able to see and interact with both men’s point of view while still keeping his own. He’s extremely loyal to both as well and will assist either in an instant if the need is truly great, no matter the consequences. Still his loyalty to Cipher is foremost and he won’t argue with or questions the man’s decisions once they’re well and truly made.

This somewhat carefree approach off the field belies his persona as a hardened fighter on the field of combat. Pixy has killed many people over the years and has few compunctions about adding to the list to quote him:

“One killing is emotionally draining, a few hundred are just slightly numbing.”

Pixy long ago lost any particular susceptibility to the horrors of combat and rattling or instilling fear in him is nearly impossible. Likewise he has little fear of death having at times remarked he already should have died and is living on borrowed time anyway. That said he doesn’t seek death in anyway; he merely accepts it as a possible result anytime one ventures onto a battlefield. It’s equally difficult to enrage or provoke him and overall he often seems to treat combat more like an interesting, if sometimes twisted, sport then a life and death struggle. That said he’s playing to win and in any serious encounter he doesn’t hold back in the slightest.

Magic Skills:
Primary Specialization: Close Range Combat/Air to Air battle
Flight Rank: AAA+
Composite Offensive Rank: S
Composite Defensive Rank: AAA-
Composite Support Rank: C
Composite Electronic Warfare Rank: D

Pixy’s magical style is a sort of hodgepodge of anything he’s found that works the main thing that unites it all is a focus on direct close range oriented fighting which he favors due to its quote “Elegant simplicity” namely it’s focus on killing the enemy as expediently as possible. All that said his style is closer to Neo-Belkan then anything else and officially it’s listed as such. Arguably though this sort of “catch as catch can” style of drawing from a large number of sources rather then a single doctrine or school has made him more rather then less effective.

As noted overall theme of his combat style is a focus on straight forward physical power applied at close range and intended to overwhelm and destroy the enemy. Non-lethal or general purpose magic is not something he’s particularly adept at. But having spent the better part of his life spent drifting around various battlefields has made him an extremely deadly and able fighter inside his comfort zone and adaptable to dealing with situations outside it.

His weapon of choice is a simple and classic straight double edged hand and half or longsword as with other users of such weapons he’s also know to employ the scabbard as a second weapon for blocking or offense.

Barrier Jacket:
Pixy Jacket is very similar to Ciphers standard jacket though with red rather then blue trim it also has only has this one mode.

Device:
Name: Morgan
Type: Armed
Appearance:
Stored: A small switch blade (and totally usable as a weapon in said form)
Active: A fairly simple longsword with a white blade and a red hilt with a pair of upward slanted cross guards. Cartages are contained in two extensions jutting up a few inches from the hilt onto the flats of the blade and eject downward from the pommel after use.
Modes:
Only the above, once active the sword is the only form it takes.

Spell List:
Pending.

Yeah, yeah Fic I know but these are more fun to do and I don't have to think as much while I'm taking my finals Profiles for Keller, Macmillan, and Miller are in the works and will probably appear short as well. Anyway I'll comments on some of the posts today later.

The weapon is also somewhat bigger and though still a terrible close combat weapon it’s long enough to kind of use as a club…

If the power boost involves longer charging times and increasing energy demands, is it really still an energy boost. Can Felix get back the speed in Pistol form, for example, by reducing the time of his charge? Do you mean to say Assault Form handles more energy?

Countermeasures:
A sort of magical chaff it spits out a number of small short ranged magical projectiles that detonate in the path of pursuing homing projectile and tend to foul their guidance and movement abilities making evasion or interception easier.

Is it effective only against SAH and AH missiles, or does it affect passive homing as well?

Mics:
Restrain Lock:
Bog standard binding spell attempts to immobilize the arms and legs at the wrists and ankles respectively.

OK, (since you said you were doing this) but what happened to:
Illumination: Used to support the Magic Missile series. Basically an emission of pulse-coded magical energy that bounces off the target to provide a beacon. While Illumination is Active, Murru must be aimed at the target, within a 60 degree wide Allowable Steering Error Circle, and will not be able to support any other attacks. Should Illumination cease for any reason, all Magic Missiles self-detonate.

Illumination will attempt to automatically track the target as long as it is in the ASE, but may lose it to interference. Tracking is generally reliable (except versus ECM) in lookup situations. In lookdown situations, however, tracking may become unreliable depending on the reflectivity of the ground and the velocity of the target.

If the velocity is high, both missile and illuminator will generally reject ground clutter (even if ground reflectivity is high) and homing continues.

Otherwise, should the target have a high emissive signature, the illuminator will automatically track the target cued by the passive direction finding system, but the SAH system of the Magic Missiles may prove inadequate and the missiles may home on the ground. Therefore, in such a situation, Murru will automatically switch to Command Guidance. However, due to the limitations of passive ranging with the tiny baseline of a device, there may be a fall off in accuracy.

Should both the reflective and emissive signature of the target prove inadequate for tracking, Murru will warn Felix to switch to SACLOS. In this case, Felix can line up Murru's sights on the target. If Felix cannot spot the target optically, the engagement fails.

Incorporate as much of the above as you wish.

Offensive:
SR Magic Missile, MR Magic Missile, LR Magic Missile:
All are effectively the same spell but with escalating range and accuracy and proportionally decreasing power and numbers with the pre-fix letters denoting Short, Medium, and Long Range variations. Often abbreviated simply to SRMM, etc pretty much just a minor variant of the shooting spells most ranged oriented mages utilize. SRMM are launched in packs of 10 to 12, MRMMs 6 to 8, and LRMM in groups of 4 or 5.

I can understand increasing the propellant burn time to increase range, but how are you planning to increase "accuracy". What is accuracy here anyway? Is it like SR Magic Missile has a range of 50m and a CEP of 2m and LR Magic Missile has a range of 500m and a CEP of 50cm?

Burst Fire:
His device simply fires a stream of unguided and weak magic bullets mostly used to harass and disrupt casting or as a defensive spell against incoming fire. Range on the bolts isn’t inherently poor, but accuracy is which restricts its use to short range for the most part. If the targets are quite weak on the defense though it can be used as a kind of long range shotgun to house an area with a rain of bolts and keep a targets head down.

In other words, a Vulcan cannon.

Flak Shot:
Similar to assault shot but instead of relying on a direct impact upon getting near the target it can explode bombarding them and a fair sized area with a spray of magic “shrapnel”. It can also be set to impact and explode directly on a target, in which case it dose only a bit less damage then Assault Blast but also still has a limited but notable AOE competent. In either case it takes more power to cast and isn’t quite as accurate, it normally uses a single cartridge, though as with Assault Blast several can be loaded to scale up it’s power.

So. Is it time fused or proximity fused?

Shield Breaker (Assault Form required):
A surprisingly innocuous looking upper tier attack it consumes several cartridges and yet produces a beam superficially similar to those many mages pump out in machine gun like fashion. That’s acutally part of what makes it so dangerous… it doesn’t look that dangerous. Underestimating it is a mistake that has cost many their lives the beam might not look that powerful or be all that spectacular, but its penetrating power is extreme.

The beam sadly has no real tracking capabilities, but is very fast and difficult to avoid if the shot is well aimed.

I must wonder how many mages are stupid enough for this. I mean, there's Felix, pumping cartridges and charging up for this "Shield Breaker". How many of them will really judge the thing by its visual appearance? And if it is only <=2 inches wide (as your description implies) and so fast, how can they even make a judgment based on seeing an "innocuous looking bolt"? They will be dodging as best as they can upon seeing a wickedly fast incoming bolt that obviously had a lot of oompf placed into it! If they even see that tiny thing at all...

You ever had the urge to write something after just seeing an image? No wait... most of us do. I did so this morning, after seeing this image in the image thread:

Spoiler:

Spoiler for A moment in the mind of Syn:

Math classes are boring. Very boring. On the bright side, having a firm grip on the subject does give me the liberty to my eyes and mind wonder, and enjoy the nice views outside.

Though right now, the best view is to my right.

Sitting next to you and watching you chew on your pen in boredom. A most casual sight if there ever was one, and yet I could hardly wish for a better one.

It’s been almost two years now since Vivio joined with us, and it seems she managed to fit in perfectly. She had a bit of a stumbleblock at the beginning –after all, being the daughter of one of the most famous mages in the TSAB tends to attract a lot of questions- but she dealt with it just fine.

Of course, being that she was new I felt sort of responsible to look out for her. Calling some order to the pushy ones asking questions was easy enough, but you still had to deal with the curiosity.

Then again, this class is very easy going, and easily accepts new or strange things, so I shouldn’t have been worried.

But I always felt a bond between us ever since we first talked. Was it because you never asked questions to my strange appearance? I am quite tall, after all, and the eyepatch often gets questions fired at me.

Or maybe it was because of our similar backgrounds? Both of us have family high up in the Bureau, after all.

Regardless of what it was, I would never want to forsake the friendship you and I forged that day.

When was it then, I wonder, that these feeling of friendship turned into something... more?

Or maybe it was always like this. Maybe it was ever since you walked into this classroom, proudly stating your name and giving everyone that adorable smile of yours.

Yes, that smile.

That smile which I love and cherish, the smile that makes you shine so much.

It really isn’t that hard to see why I have grown to love you.

Because I love you, Vivio.

My precious V.

Note: This is not Alpha canon, this is a more likely case scenario in what could eventually become kerokanon, if there is ever an S4 released. This is based on Vivio growing up far less angsty.

It’s a pretty standard “gun gets bigger it hit harder” sort of deal the exact mechanics barely even matter. Also this is admittedly not all that clear but the jacket and device aren’t linked it’s entirely possible to use the Assault Form of the Device with the standard jacket and vice verse. Basiclly if you must have an then answer yes Assault Form can handle more energy but pays for that by lower efficiency and hence increased time and mana consumption.

Is it effective only against SAH and AH missiles, or does it affect passive homing as well?

Dude its magic, if the bolts home it screws with them at least a little it’s vague for a reason.

OK, (since you said you were doing this) but what happened to:
Illumination: Used to support the Magic Missile series. Basically an emission of pulse-coded magical energy that bounces off the target to provide a beacon. While Illumination is Active, Murru must be aimed at the target, within a 60 degree wide Allowable Steering Error Circle, and will not be able to support any other attacks. Should Illumination cease for any reason, all Magic Missiles self-detonate.

Illumination will attempt to automatically track the target as long as it is in the ASE, but may lose it to interference. Tracking is generally reliable (except versus ECM) in lookup situations. In lookdown situations, however, tracking may become unreliable depending on the reflectivity of the ground and the velocity of the target.

If the velocity is high, both missile and illuminator will generally reject ground clutter (even if ground reflectivity is high) and homing continues.

Otherwise, should the target have a high emissive signature, the illuminator will automatically track the target cued by the passive direction finding system, but the SAH system of the Magic Missiles may prove inadequate and the missiles may home on the ground. Therefore, in such a situation, Murru will automatically switch to Command Guidance. However, due to the limitations of passive ranging with the tiny baseline of a device, there may be a fall off in accuracy.

Should both the reflective and emissive signature of the target prove inadequate for tracking, Murru will warn Felix to switch to SACLOS. In this case, Felix can line up Murru's sights on the target. If Felix cannot spot the target optically, the engagement fails.

Incorporate as much of the above as you wish.

I’ve covered this before I never advocated only a single guidance package in fact I said repeatedly I think spells can use many different ones as needed even while looking superficially very similar. Thus the magic missiles can be heat seeking, SA, or command guided as directed but there is no reason to have 10 different versions of them listed when the only thing changed is how they track the target which would only ever matter in a story context and so would be addressed at that time.

I can understand increasing the propellant burn time to increase range, but how are you planning to increase "accuracy". What is accuracy here anyway? Is it like SR Magic Missile has a range of 50m and a CEP of 2m and LR Magic Missile has a range of 500m and a CEP of 50cm?

Fine be a nit picky ass but basiclly the extra “thrust” means they’re more nimble and so can track targets better (which they’d have to since the target will have more time to evade) thus resulting in higher hit rates and thus “accuracy”. CEP isn't really applicable to a guided missile meant for air to air combat as it's pretty much "hit or it dosen't count" hence accuracy is IMO a better word IE: how often the spell can be expected to find it's mark and strike the intended target.

In other words, a Vulcan cannon.

Or it basiclly just shots like a real automatic rifle or pistol albeit weakly.

So. Is it time fused or proximity fused?

Probably could be either a fair point I admit I didn’t really consider then again most of the spell list was basiclly a straight rip and was composed quickly some months ago most of the new stuff was in the history.

I must wonder how many mages are stupid enough for this. I mean, there's Felix, pumping cartridges and charging up for this "Shield Breaker". How many of them will really judge the thing by its visual appearance? And if it is only <=2 inches wide (as your description implies) and so fast, how can they even make a judgment based on seeing an "innocuous looking bolt"? They will be dodging as best as they can upon seeing a wickedly fast incoming bolt that obviously had a lot of oompf placed into it! If they even see that tiny thing at all...

Dude it’s hyperbole to make it sound powerful I’d never write some guy just standing there and trying to tank it without a good reason. Even so it dose in fact look quite innocuous once it’s actually shot obviously if the guy see him charging it up he's going to know something is up. Also keep in mind that this is "really fast" as compared to most Nanoha beams which still hardly makes it relativistic or anything.
