Infinite Stratos Character Creation and Fanfiction Discussion

[blitz1/2]

After watching Kodomo no Jikan and (some romance H-ovas), I wonder if someone can rewrite a little bit of IS plot like how if Ichika was the world champion and works in IS academy as a teacher (so a little bit older than the cast) and the harem are his students. xD
It's also possible for Houki and Rin to still remain his osana najimis if the age gap is not too wide and if you want to include Chifuyu as a possessive imouto (wow, role reversal) is good. At least...(hopefully) you won't get a dense protagonist if he is older and more mature than the cast.

xD
Actually, I might get somewhere with this!

ISA Head Nurse Hirano Chiyo
Patient Log 15- “Ringing Cases”

“A long, drawn out, ringing.”
“Constant whining at night.”
“It’s like, when you were young and could hear those old televisions scream.”
“A ringing.”
“It was like shell shock sounds in video games.”

Every single case this week contained the same event; a white noise of sorts that grew in loudness at night. The first incident was attributed to the projectiles whizzing by in recent IS training practices. No later than an hour after the first girl came in and left, I had already received the same accounts from another. Today, I count it up to fifteen patients. With little else to say, I had to quickly deal with them and merely told them to avoid practicing with or around projectiles.
Half of them came back, complaining of the same symptoms. According to them, they nevertheless followed my advice, yet it still persisted. The cases baffled me. Upon examination, I found no internal ear problems, and brain reception to audible stimulus was perfect. I couldn’t come to any conclusions. I studied various dorm rooms, as they were claimed to be the sites of most events pertaining to the cases. I recorded on large levels of frequencies, and turned electronics on and off.

I found nothing. It became apparent that I’d have to put in some monitoring devices during the patients sleep times to see if the same problems came about. Two audio recording devices were placed; watching the door and patient (name withheld). A visual recording device was set up to include the patient and the door. A second smaller device recorded the window and desk.

What I found was… Eerie. After retrieving the devices, I discovered a strange reoccurring pattern of audio sounds throughout the night. The video cameras showed no visible anomalies or appearances on all three wavelengths; infa-red, heat, and visible light. I looked over the audio files and tried to attribute them to similar sounds typically found in electronics or ambience. It matched none. I gave the disk to a colleague of mine, hoping for a more professional and experienced approach. She returned with another strange discovery.

The audio patterns could be attributed to a specific but complex pattern; almost like speech. She tied numbers to each sound frequency, and found them repeating, yet in drastically different ways. She looked into code-breaking schemes but could find nothing more in the sounds. They were indeed equivalent to those described by my patients; a constant, high-pitched ringing. When replayed for them, they all affirmed its similarity. In addition, the sound level seemed to be much louder for them than myself.

They were quite obviously akin to the “mosquito ringtone” so many students have heard. I looked further into these cases for several months, discovering that a much larger demographic than those who had visited me were experiencing the same thing. By that time, I had alerted several other dorm authorities, searching for any student devices that possessed the ringtone. They were removed from three students, but the cases persisted. In no way could it then be said that ringtones were at fault.

I set up more recording experiments, not just in dorms twice each week over the course of four weeks. By the third week, a second anomaly had appeared; window video devices recording an alarmingly fast object just outside the room. Even under high speed replaying capabilities, the video could only capture two frames. What was visible was a small, long object, seemingly undulating across the glass from one side to the other. That was the only time it was seen. The same audio anomalies persisted, even outside dormitories.

Two months later, I was submitted with an entire classroom of students complaining of powerful headaches and strained ears. The teacher claimed they all started thrashing for a few moments in her class in but a split second. Seven were withheld overnight due to damaged eardrums.

To my horrifying conclusion, four of the seven were legally deaf by morning. The cases seem to be getting more and more violent; yet the culprit is not even close to discovered. Various theories have been postulated; a radiation leak, IS engine malfunctions while inoperative, and atmospheric solar rays. I have many doubts any of them are correct.

In but just one school week, another malicious incident occurred. However, this one ended in death. In the very same room I had captured the strange object on the window, the rooms two occupants were found dead and mutilated. Exact condition is withheld. Since then, the ISA has undergone lockdown. Students are not allowed to leave the dormitories, and a much larger staff has been deployed to monitor hallways. Audio anomalies still continue, some complaining of an even louder decibel level in specific areas.

Even with extra hands, two more students have been found dead. One student in particular claims of constant headaches. Her room was examined and the audio level of the ring was found to be near deafening to most other students. She was removed from the premise and admitted to my ward.

I hope the problem is solved soon.

--------------------------------------------

Shivering temperatures and a skimpy suit; not exactly what one would think of as the best combination. Yet, the nippy freeze didn’t affect the young woman in the IS. Standard shields that accompanied every unit also prevented unsatisfactory temperatures from affecting the pilot. The soldiers beside her trudging in the snow however, were chilled to the bone, even with heavy, warm, Russian military uniforms. The team of eight stalked across the turf of thick sleet, knee-deep in frozen water. A blizzard of biblical proportions battered them the entire way.

What they were doing out there specifically was far from detailed. Command gave a quick order to suit up and head out; apparently another one of those silly crashes popped up. Nothing was ever found, and even if there was something there from some place unknown to us, likely the “special” guys got there first. Times like these up in Siberia were routine. A crashed plane here. Ruined train there. Occasionally these coincidental unconfirmed crashes showed up. Nothing was ever found anyways.

Yet, orders were orders, and they followed like dogs. Silly dogs. Trudging on and on, the storm never seemed to let up, let alone make way. The eight-man team chugged forward like drowning cats amidst a tropical storm. Garbled radio messages transmitted distances on occasion of their distance to the supposed site. Very rarely could the message actually be decoded amidst the wind and low signal.

Just a few minutes ago –or hours, no one could tell- a message claimed but a few tens of meters to go. Despite the short distance, no one had any sight of anything but white ground and a dark sky. In the indiscernible periods of time they continued to walk, a large structure became apparent. Like a white ghost melting into view, this large, leaning tower of Pisa stood forth. The group halted and sent out a message that they had arrived; how they were sure? It certainly wasn’t a rock, or anything manmade for that matter. Like a spiked pyre of smooth white metal, it presented itself as a monstrous object unlike anything ever seen.

If the squad could make one conclusion, it was that they weren’t alone. Sessile as it may seem, they immediately went on edge, raising weapons and checking surroundings. If it was indeed alien, it could very well be hostile as well. No message from command ever came back. The squad stood on an even thinner ledge.

Nothing sounded. Even the winter storm seemed to fall silent in the ironically heated atmosphere. Then, a rush. A shockwave like that of a bomb pounded the squad, keeling over some and winding those who were entrenched in the snow. The IS stood still.

With yells the men and women stood, shaking in terror and fear. The dark surroundings and the silence of the world were fearsome enough, and now the tower seemed to move. Its permanent residence buried in the snow quickly abandoned its calm life and rippled with life-like movement. Splinters of white elongated structures stretched and expanded, its white exoskeleton-like body forming into long spinal forms. Almost like that of a flower blooming, it unraveled and untwisted.

To the squad, it was pure horror; such an alien thing presenting itself so dramatically. With no sense of leadership and without a way to go, one of the paranoid soldiers fired. The silence was broken, and in a split second it seemed like the wind picked up again. Flashes from the barrel lit up the snow, and the creature before them shivered at the projectiles.

They did nothing. The white coverings that protected much of the beast’s true flesh was unharmed and unaffected. In the adrenaline and madness of the situation however, the man could not discern such a fact. He fired madly at the creature, harming its softer skin by simple accident. It turned and rose, sending out moans of pain and anger. Several soldiers had also released their fear, firing blindly at the beast. Though it seemed to be moved by the show of force, it did not budge from its original spot. Mags empty and the beast no longer stirring so madly, the squad calmed itself, staring frighteningly at their target.

It stood still, completely unwound and elongated. The organism was like an octopus of sorts, from what the men could barely discern in the blizzard. Its tentacles covered in white plates not unlike a centipede’s outside armor. The head, what it may be was out of sight, but from an earthen biological standpoint, they proposed its position.

Their horrors were realized when the beast swiped at the squad. In but a single slash, one tentacle batted away the IS and four soldiers. The firing began yet again, and the chaos was brutal. Men left and right rose or never stood again. Blood showed up across the ice. Human parts were dismembered and strewn about. The un-moving creature destroyed the squad, killing all but the woman and her IS.

I had risen to the sky, tired of stomping around in the snow. Its two machine guns had already been unloaded twice, yet the beast was unharmed. Small arms fire was inevitably useless. Thus, the MPIS unleashed its heavier weapons; twin shoulder rockets. The explosion that ensued mutilated the beast, tearing tentacles off and shattering its armor. With only a few rounds to spare by the end, it seemed the creature had been subdued. What appendages were still intact dropped, and it ceased to make sounds of any kind.

The pilot had barely broken a sweat, yet her entire squad was gone. She strained to hold back tears, despite the adrenaline that fueled her veins. The IS floated back to the ground and stood still for a few moments. The trip would be lonely coming back.

But the trip was to be cancelled. The woman had no time to react when several dark green tentacles shot out from the creature’s center, ensnaring the frame with ease. The machine failed to free itself, as one by one, limbs were torn from their very sockets. With the design of the machine, the pilot was saved from being damaged herself, even as it was torn to pieces. The shields failed, and a wave of sheer cold blasted her skin. She went into a short lived shock before several tentacles picked her up.

With a bloody second, she was dead, torn in two and thrown to the snow. The creature roared, shaking the ground underneath as the IS parts were seemingly ingested. Lights penetrated the snow, and the storm passed in the blink of an eye. It was as if god himself silenced the fury of nature and gave blinding light to the world below.

Quick write-up rough draft for the prologue. Bleh.

On another note; I need to know from you people. (If any) Which OC's would you like to be seen in my fanfiction? Sadly, my inefficiency can't accept every one, so only one per person, unless you have to have several. If you have no inclination in the first place, don't fret, my feelings aren't hurt in any way.

Just realize not all of them may survive.

ELS! ITS THE ELS!!

The countries allied are USA, Russia, UK, France, China, also the five permanent members of the UNSC (United Nation Security Council). In the series we have seen at least 4 or 5 if not all the countries allied with this treaty. The only ones I dont think (Or can't seem to find) are the Arabians, and the Spanish.

There's a misconception here. When I first came up with the theory, I noted that only those armed with nuclear weapons have appeared with powerful IS and are part of Ichika's harem. These happened to be the permanent members of the Security Council as well. I believed that this was why the author gave the snark jibe at the US and the UNSC in general comparing them to "global yakuza" in the manga.

- UK, France and China are confirmed to have personal IS reps.
- Russia and US both have reps; Russia having hired a Japanese girl (light novel) and the US being the student with the personal IS in Class 1-3 mentioned in the 2nd/3rd episode of the anime. It is highly likely they would become part of Ichika's harem.

That means all of the permanent members of the UNSC have been represented in the Ichika Harem.

Following that pattern, that leaves just 4 other countries with nukes: Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. I've already argued that the author conveniently replaced India and Pakistan with Germany and Japan (now part of the Ichika Harem), and it can be argued that Phantom Task represents the Kim Dynasty (which is waiting to be added into the harem per light novel).

Therefore, I decided to represent Israel with my own country (which shares so many parallels with Israel it ain't funny), Singapore. To break the pattern so far, I made Karon an imouto-type character who has a non-sexual relationship with Ichika, his "little sister not related by blood". This is part of the character building done under my main fic, [IS: Shooting Star].

The hilarious other parallel is that there are enough girls (current and potential) for Ichika to star in Amagami SS; again I parodied that with my romance-centric side story, [Infinite Stratos: SS].

You should notice that both titles [IS: Shooting Star] and [Infinite Stratos: SS] are plays on each other.

Well... Shit. The Alaska Treaty dictates that any technology developed for IS must be shared with the rest of the world. It was a thinly disguised method of ensuring that Japan could not pull another White Knight on them, but at the same time it screws with what the other nations can do with the technology. The Treaty allows entities to keep their technology secret until the first field test, and allows all research and testing to be done on neutral territory, which is the ISA, without having to reveal such details. Mass-production still requires a complete audit of the technology however.

All that bull renders all our parading of super prototypes null and void, not to mention blows a big hole in my Yggdrastratos core energy collection system being a guarded recipe.

There's the other problem that the Merlion even in her current state is still too powerful for the arena, considering how quickly Laura went down. However, the VT system showed that IS can remodel themselves, which gives me the avenue to better conceal the Shooting Star IS when they are flying their covert missions.

I'll be reworking Karon's profile this weekend to take into account the newly discovered restrictions as well as her new looks. For the current Merlion will become the covert face of the unit. I'd have to redo the Yggdra system and desociate them from IS as well, so this 3.5G schtick would just mean late 3rd Gen IS model rather than some lolscience power supply that uses a person's brain and willpower as energy.

As a rule of thumb, he's basically a genre savvy Kamina, who succeeds most of the time and pumps the melodrama into everything he sees, including affairs as mundane as going to the bathroom. To him, there is apparently some value of character or plot development in everything.

Now, from a more objective standpoint, Ray's true talent can said to be that whatever he sets his mind to, he accomplishes not because of luck alone, but through extensive preparation and information gathering. When you already get to the burning bridge, it's too late for plans that's why you have to plan ahead, so when the crisis hits, all you have to do punch it with all your strength and press forward. Yeah?

Do I expect him to die? Hell yes, but not before making it to the Final Five and passing on his will to someone else, and only then going out in a blaze of glory against ridiculous odds. Cue Badass Creed:

"Molōn labe!" ~ "Come and take them!" attributed to King Leonidas I of Sparta, for obvious reasons.

Would I be surprised he survives? Very.

"So, I am the last man on Earth? ...Gosh, I can't wait to see who's the last WOMAN on Earth!"

[Asuras]

With the simple name of "Kamina" in my mind, I had the utmost intention to kill him in a fiery death of agonizingly ridiculous baddassery.

But not before taking out at least 3 A-AIS in one swipe.

I'll take your description to heart. Anyone else?

Taken from here

It says that the ISA is the only one place where entities can flaunt their technology w/o global disclosure- so all those super prototypes can still be there- only when their tech is passed on to general use does it need to be disclosed.

[Terminator98]

Would you want to include my own Stoic half psycho boy Hikari Alex?
He might be fitting as he's in a dark organization that likes to put its nose everywhere something fishy happens...

You might need to put some references to Lyn though, as the reason why he can drive that IS of his is largely linked to her.

Aliens ftw!

Chapter 3 is STILL in the works, although around 75% complete. World Of Tanks has been making me busy again...

[MeisterBabylon]

I'd throw my OCs in, but as I said earlier, Shooting Star would only be ready for aliens at the end of Infinite Stratos, after they've gotten all their plots done and mid season upgrades broken into.

That's about... 3 years from canon present.

They can be used now anyway, Sherry, Marina, Hokusui, Three and Karon, just that they won't be as awesomesauce as later.




EDIT:

Quick patch to Karon's profile, now that I found an image fitting of her. And yes, the Orimura Imouto is strong with this one.

Im digging your theory bro. Im going to be doing some digging see what I can find out more about relations to to the real world with this story. It seems to me like there could be more flawless character development and presentation (Given that Laura in a mere 4 episodes, Hated Ichika, Got mad at Chifuyu, Fought and got her ass beat, Then claimed him her "wife" or "bride" what have you. With a kissu kissu. ~chu~....)

[agetreme]

Reworking profile due to new information.......

[Keroko]

On the flipside, episode 8 just gave a minor level of justification for Kyral and mine's cybernetic enhanced characters.

Go us!

[Terminator98]

Ok, updated all my chars. Either reformatted some info or added some stuff.

Spoiler for Links to all my OCs:

Characters:

Hikari Alex

Hikari Haruka

Kanzaki Lyn

Sarah Delavalliere

Sophia Rainer

Enrique Espada


IS:

OD-EXIS-01 "Belial"

OD-MPPIS-01R "Silver Maiden"

OD-MPPIS-01M "Lumine"

OD-EXIS-02 "Alsiedes"

Who somehow predate the release of IS wtf?

At least we know that the timeline before the release of IS has already deviated as a result, with the tech level of the world already higher than ours by a certain amount. That's should ease off some fire on me.

That's bloody fast!!




~~~New Intelligence Data Updated~~~

Karon has been completely overhauled.

Most of the character building bits are the same, with a bit more info about Kha-nyan's catty habits. Her photo has changed to fit the Orimura little sister role better. (I also discovered that the profile already specifies her having short hair, but somehow I shopped a pic with long hair. Oops. ) As the short hair resulted from a particularly nasty fight later in the story, so any fanart drawn with her with long hair is still accurate.

As promised earlier, I reworked the sneaky mass production technology so as not to clash with the Alaska Treaty (and included a jibe at the water issue. )

The IS design on the other hand has been completely redone, and the result is a simple suit can fits Karon's bill better. It allows me to have both the beamspam cake and eat the kungfu cake.

Btw, if you notice any "Imouto Imouto" (I used Find and Replace function) please let me know.

So that means Termie you're going to need to reevaluate the I-Type Vandam Imouto.

[Wild Goose]

...surprisingly the only story i feel like writing involves IS at a peripheral level.

You have an IS on an overwater solo flight. It goes down. Who are you going to call?

These people, that's who.

"Emergency scramble! IS down!"

"Artemis Two Zero and Helios Eight Five, scrambling."

It is legimate Kyral.. Meister said that she cuts her hair later. BECAUSE HER BEST FRIEND'S IN A COMA AND SHE'S CHEATING ON HER BY TAKING HIS DEPRESSIVE BOYFRIEND...

oh wait, that's not it. :P

Coming up with the last member of Alex's harem... been working more on revisions than on finishing that damn chapter. XD


edit: Also coming up with a throughout explanation of how the Plasma projector works, leaving the tech-savy people less dissapointed...

[Kyral]

True, so true... after that shuttle incident she just... ah wait. Oo;

Actually it was more that her hair color didn't matched and I failed to read that she actually still has gray colored hair. The new picture threw me off balance.

[MeisterBabylon]

The grey colored hair was because of my limited shopping ability. I wanted to turn it black from the start, but I failed to do successfully...

You could always shade the original color black? Sorry...



Btw, I'm missing the anime reference here... What shuttle accident?

[Kyral]

Yeah I could do that without problems.. but it pains me to change my pictures. Call it "artist's pride".


Actually I wanted to write "car accident" but I thought I stay a little Sci-Fi...

I'm not 100% sure but I think Terminator was making a KimiNozo reference.

[Terminator98]

@Kyral: Yep.

Ok.. I've decided that I'd change Sophia's unit so that it's more unique and not an amalgation of Haruka's and Sarah's units...

Also, Alex's newest Harem entry is coming up soon, should post em when I wake up (plus complete exlpanation about the plasma stuff and how it works. Should also get a sneak shot of the OD-EXIS-02 Samael.)

[MeisterBabylon]

It was my fault too, never clarified the correct color.

So yeah... That 'shuttle accident' from Kiminozo... I see. XD
