Yup, just read it.

As I said, Innocence and spirit of youth, and thus Idol Singer technically must be chaste (doesn't stop her from sneaking in disguise to date her boyfriend though).

[Eratas123]

@ Senpai - So how do fans tend to react when they get into relationships? I've heard that some rabid fanboys actually called the Voice Actors when they heard their idol in the idolm@ster game got boyfriends

@ Yachi - 14 more.

And burning Kannagi merchandise after find that titular Nagi used to have a boyfriend in her past life. She may not be an idol singer, but otherwise she has most of the requirement minus being a singer and an idol.

I was confident I'm not going to get it.

[Eratas123]

@ Senpai - What about reactions to real life idols? I doubt people are crazy enough to make threatening phone call- Actually, I can see that happening.

That happens, but they're mostly vocal minority. Who act like a toughest guys in the world while they actually has no life outside hobbies.

No offense, true fans never loath their idol for their choice but never defend them blindly if their idol did a mistake.

This has me confused. I wasn't going to explore parallel timelines in the current remake officially, so having Yuriko and Irish at the same time might break something.

<-- this was what I was trying to break to Eras. Didn't want to kill the popular ship so I let him carry on...

In other news, I was also toying with the idea of an male IS frame. While the Rafless was one such option, I quickly found that I couldn't land the thing.

But try as I might deviate from the humanoid form, I always ended up with:

Spoiler for Exhibit 1:

Replace the Huckbein with a male pilot in IS frame.

I wanted a frame with an inverted triangle, large shoulders, big arms, and somehow, no legs but a jetbike. The closest I got was the Devil Gundam, with a bike for a butt. You know how that went down with the art department...

Do you guys know of any mecha from other universes like this? I'm trying not to use RideBacks. They are close, but I want something beefier.

[ZeroXSEED]

This maybe? I know it's less beefy but... DOUBLES AS MOTORCYCLE!

[Eratas123]

@ Meistah - Um.....it looks like a Gundam Besides, that thing looks way too big to be partially summoned or even dodge anything. Why don't you try looking for mini mechas on deviantart? Otherwise, you can ask Stratos for designs since he's making a story based on this concept.

Side note - They weren't even supposed to be shipped I only did it because Zero told me and that you didn't mind. They were supposed to be like brother and sister. I should probably go back to that Balancing LI's is annoying

[HasuMasu]

The picture you posted of the purple thingy isn't so bad you know?

[Eratas123]

@ Meistah - Do you want it to be Ironman thin or more bulky than that? They separate into either powered armor or mini mecha's respectively.

The Ea and their endless supply of IS. The Caliphate which came before and their ability to throw Chastity Engines up every week. Max lampshades very early that the ST@RS have enraged an enemy that somehow has the monetary power of a whole country. While the Caliphate was largely sponsored by a group of states, the level of organization and technology, and their lack of self-proclamations, of the Ea is only possible if the 1st world is involved somehow. But no one in the public eye is that crazy.

Exploring this mystery is the main storyline through my fic. Perhaps I should spinoff the idol parts as a side story...

Don't forget another faction that is trying to steal things and take people with them to somewhere even more crackier.

@ Male IS idea: well i don't have suggestions too lol.

[Eratas123]

@ Senpai - Was it ever stated that Ichika has no memories of his parents or is that just fanon? They apparently left when he was 5 or so, he should still remember at least a bit of them.

[HasuMasu]

Nope, he doesn't remember them, no pictures either.

Ichika's 'first' memories is him meeting Shinonono....

[Eratas123]

@ Senpai and Box - The hell? That's really odd. He should remember even some things from being an infant since the brain remembers them.

[Eratas123]

@ Senpai - And Ichika never found this odd? He met Shinonono when he was about 5, that means he has no memories prior to that so that's really odd.

[HasuMasu]

It's not odd if he's a clone/adopted/alien/taco.

His usual reaction: if something is trivial/ problematic, forget it/ paid no attention to it.

Take the girls for example, he actually hesitates to reform the bonds between him and Houki or Rin at first, because Houki is being cold and Rin being stubborn. Him began to solve the girls' problem is a hidden character development.

[Eratas123]

@ Box - I say he's a taco. That's why he doesn't like girls, he's focused more on his own kind (food). Just look at the food porn he goes to.

@ Senpai - So does he gradually recover his memories in sacred twins? Ichika gets glimpses during specific parts in Shadow and they get more and more clearer as the story goes on.

Yes, he does, the memories about him and Madoka, locked in a bright room similar to a hospital ward, when they're 3 years old, hence very fuzzy.
