Background:
Satoshi was born in Yokohama, Japan, in the Mid-Childan Year 0050. His father, Kojiro Kazukuni, was an accomplished TSAB officer, serving under Clyde Haralown at the time. His mother, Lucette Kazukuni, was a Mid-Childan mage who was also working with the Haralowns, this time with Lindy Haralown. Satoshi never knew his father much, he was one of the unlucky few that was absorbed by the Book of Darkness when it was out of control on board the Hestia 21 years ago. He was also born with a knee defect which wouldn't enable him to participate in athletics. He had a lot of magical ability, though, as observed by his mother, and it was found out that his Linker Core was able to restore magic faster than a normal Linker Core. His dream was to follow in his father's footsteps, and his mother supported him in any way possible. His knee defect was just another obstacle, and Satoshi would willingly run to beat that, although he would fall down from the immense pain. Still, he kept going at it, and it was found out that the defect was slowly, but surely fading away, although he would have traces of that for the rest of his life, and that it could be back at random points of his life. It was found out that his Linker Core could also regenrate minor injuries, which led to the fading away of his defect. On a cold and rainy day in the year 0058, Satoshi was trying to find shelter while going home from his running when he fell and saw a obscure building, covered by trees and branches. Satoshi went in the building, and it led him down to a room where he found the device that he still uses today: the Dual Device named Cipher. It was a trap, though, since a hidden shadow-like apparition attacked him instantly. He was defenseless at first, but the device activated, citing that it was unlocked. Disregarding this, Satoshi managed to defeat the apparition with ease. It turned out to be a test which the Device had made, and that it proved that Satoshi had deserved to keep it, which he happily agreed. The Device also gave Satoshi another thing besides itself: the rarely-used style of Ustio, which he learned during his sudden fight. Upon going home, he has told his mother about the day and was more worried than happy. She decided to help Satoshi finally accomplish his dream, and send him to become a mage, and was sent to the TSAB training academy. He was an excellent trainee, and was seen from the instructors as having the potential to become great. He had also made a lot of friends in the academy, some of which would work with him in the later years of his life. During this time, he had met Chrono Haralown, and both of them became friends before Chrono was off to be trained under Admiral Gil Graham's twin familiars. He was selected to participate in a special program for studying new styles. This is where he found out about the limits about Ustio, and where he honed his skills.
He was then placed under the command of then-Captain Alexi Bulgakov, leader of the newly-formed Sky Squad, another person from Earth and another practitioner of Ustio. He taught Satoshi many of Ustio's spells, and taught him on how to fight with Cipher effectively within the time limit, and he became a sort of father figure to Satoshi. His unit, which included one other person from his academy days, Sydney Megane, were sent on several missions, dealing with unknown or highly dangerous objects, people, etc. Satoshi proved his worth in these missions, showing great leadership skills, while seeing many of his comrades and friends die, many in agony, including Teana Lanster's brother, which he had met the day before. On one mission before the final Book of Darkness incident, he was supposed to protect a group of injured mages, being caught in an ambush with a early prototype of the Gadget Drones, when one of them suddenly attacked the mages. Satoshi tried to block the shot off, but was too late, and was hit squarely in the Linker Core. By an amazing set of coincidences, though, the shot only managed to exactly go through the Linker Core 7 centimeters, and Satoshi, although he did not know it at the time, accidentally became the youngest person to bypass the Ustio time limit. He then spent 2 months in a coma, his Linker Core healing itself. After he woke up, he was advised to take a break, and so he did, going to Uminari City, where his mother had recently moved in. 5 days after he moved in, he was visiting the Uminari University Hospital to check his knee defect when he saw a girl in a wheelchair near him, reading a book. He commented on the book, and they talked for a while before going to her appointment. Little did Satoshi know, that the girl he spoke to, Hayate Yagami, would play an important role in the days to come. A week after that, he was sitting down on a bench when everyone seemed to disappear around him and the sky changed. From his experience, he knew that this was a magical barrier and stood up, hoping to see what or who casted it. One moment before, he was standing up, wondering what happened. The next, he was now in a fight with a pink-haired woman, wielding a device that looked like a sword. Fighting for what seemed like an eternity, the battle eventually came to a standstill, with both people severely injured and Cipher damaged. A decisive blow was prevented, as TSAB mages were arriving on-site. Before she left, though, Satoshi found out about the woman's name: Signum. The mages who arrived to the scene saw him gazing at his left, not caring about anything else, even his injuries. He recovered on-site, thanks to medical mages, and after testifying what happened, he went home, thinking about what had just happened. It wouldn't be long before the Kazukunis were ordered to go back to the TSAB Main Office. There, they were informed of the Book of Darkness case, and Satoshi was again interviewed to find out who had attacked him. He found out that the person who attacked him, Signum, was one of the Wolkenritter, and he was lucky, as he managed to not fall and get his Linker Core drained. With this, he requested that he be put back into service and to be with the group who were investigating the Book of Darkness. He was granted permission to do so, and although he wasn't put with the investigative team, he was allowed to get information to them. He met with Chrono again, pretending to not know him, but Satoshi couldn't keep it for long. He also met with Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Tesstarossa, and was amazed at both of their skills. Seeing that (and after hearing Chrono saying not to be on Nanoha and Fate's bad side), he decided to become friends with them. He then participated with the investigation, while keeping hidden from the Wolkenritter and visiting Hayate to help her, which was very hard to do. He also requested an upgrade to his Device, seeing how Cipher was damaged in his battle with Signum. Still, like everyone else, he didn't know who was behind this, until he was going back to the Uminari University Hospital to strengthen his cover. There, he saw Hayate, and to his surprise, Signum. Luckily, they didn't notice him, and he went to the appointment as planned. Going home, thinking about what happened, he decided not to tell the team until the time was right. He saw how Hayate and Signum were close, and he didn't want to break that, even though that more mages, more friends might die. He never told anyone, and as the investigation went to its twists and turns, he never got a chance to tell. After seeing the "masked men" himself, Satoshi suspected that it was someone else in the TSAB that was high-ranking, and he told Chrono about this. He didn't believe it at first, but when Fate was attacked by him, Chrono started to find out who they were. Before the final battle, he saw Hayate one last time, and saw how much pain she was in. Leaving a gift, Satoshi told her about the pain he went through while getting his knee back to normal and told her to bear what she was going through, it would get better eventually. Hayate agreed, and he left. When he heard about the situation with the Wolkenritter on the hospital, he want back running, only to find the Book of Darkness had been completed, and Reinforce was there. He managed to escape the field, but was forced to watch, as he didn't have Cipher yet, it was still being upgraded, and he believed that he wouldn't have done much good anyway.
He met up with the Wolkenritter again after the battle, and saw Signum again, as well as the others, and was surprised that Hayate could have magical abilities. Satoshi didn't see Reinforce that long, as he had little time to do so because Cipher's upgrades were complete. He also missed seeing Reinforce gone, as he had to be taught on Cipher's new abilities, and spent the whole day getting used to it. He visited Hayate after that, and consoled her with the loss of Reinforce. After that, he went back to his unit, working on several missions again. The case had affected him deeply, though, as he now wanted to have the ability to protect his friends, not just wish it. He had learned of Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate working for the TSAB itself. He was pretty mad of them at first, but eventually became used to it. He rose up through the ranks, eventually gaining Enforcer rank and also was given command of Sky Squad after his former captain got whole command of the 216th. He continued to see everyone, in spite of his new job, always finding some way to get his tasks done on-time. He was also present when Reinforce Zwei was born, standing quietly in a corner while everyone was crowding around her. His mother was in bad health during these times, though, and Satoshi was always concerned about her. Just a day after his 18th birthday, Satoshi's mother passed away, her last words being that Satoshi was like his father he rarely knew and to keep that always. He now seemed to be a bit depressed, always trying to hide that to not worry anybody. This stayed with him until the fire at the Mid-Childa 8th Coastal Airport happened 4 years ago. Being one of the first mages there, he managed to rescue a good number of people before reinforcements came. The people he rescued reminded him of his mother's words and of what everyone's life meant. After this he started to be more cheerful, and he changed for the better. When Hayate decided to make Lost Property Riot Force 6, Satoshi was one of the few mages that agreed with the unit, and made his commanding officer, the now-ranked Major Bulgakov agree with him. Despite Hayate's attempt to put him in LPRF 6, he refused, saying that he would do better here and joking that if he came there, he would be the cause of breaking the whole unit up because HQ would be pissed that the whole unit was taking all of the good mages away. He now resides in Mid-Childa, doing his job, although recent events have made him wonder what would happen now...
Personality:
Satoshi is pretty friendly, and a lot of people who met him have actually liked him. He likes to be with people, although sometimes, he wishes to be alone, for some reason or another. He is also a jokester, liking to make people laugh, but sometimes, his jokes are more annoying than funny. He addresses his friends and squadmates with their first name without honorifics, and he prefers to be called Satoshi, although some people, such as Hayate Yagami & Nanoha Takamachi, call him Sato-kun, which he takes in stride, although he addresses his superiors in a formal way. He also takes insults well, although if it goes too far, he can break and give whoever is doing the insult a world of hurt. He is very wise and very intelligent, helping fellow squadmates and others from trivial things to helping them with training, and is concerned when one has a problem. He believes that everyone can do what they want to do; anything stopping them is just an obstacle. Interested by how devices work, he regularly goes to either the Tech Department or the Lost Property Riot Force 6 Maintenance Station, where he just sits down and just stays there silently, while at the same time giving a bit of advice, although he has little to actually give. He's sometimes indecisive on some trivial stuff, such as what to eat, and he does seem like he's spaced out a lot when someone's talking to him, but he actually hears them, which gives some a bit of a surprise. In combat, though, he is a whole different story. Mostly dropping his easy-going and joking personality, except cracking a joke to ease his squad's tension on route to the mission site, he becomes dead serious about the mission and the lives of his fellow squadmates and friends, something that he learned from his father. He takes his opponents seriously, whether it is a powerful enemy or a weak one. He never underestimates an opponent, even with his skills. Inside, though, he's pretty shaken from seeing friends die and fearing that the friends he has now will probably be gone before their time.
Magic Style:
Ustio is a magic style combining Mid-Childa and Ancient/Old Belka, perfect for those that want to get in close, but still have several shooting abilities in mid/long-range combat. It forces the user to be aggressive in combat, but to think things through fast, giving the enemy either little to react or to confuse them into making a mistake. Its users are fast and deadly . Ustio's bombardment and shooting type spells are faster to fire in a hurry and take less magic to use, but are inherently slightly weaker due to the speed, since these types of spells are either used in a first strike or a way to get enemies "off your tail", so to speak. Its melee type spells are also faster, but suffer from having to use more magic and also being weaker than its original spell. It has several flaws, though. Its agressiveness can backfire on the user, provided that the enemy has enough time to plan out their attacks and if they're calm enough. It requires users to be physically and mentally fit, since all of the spells push the user's body and mind to varying degrees, depending on the spell itself. Most of the spells are actually, at the least, moderately draining, and can't be used by people with weak Linker Cores. The reason for this is that the style "overheats" the Linker Core due to the massive workload of the spells causing a lot of energy, and in an attempt to "cool" itself down, tires the user out. In Satoshi's case, his Linker Core actually worsened the condition, cutting the time by half. There are two known ways to pass this: either be born with a Linker Core that can handle the extra work or to get the Linker Core pierced by another energy/magical source 7 centimeters, which would have an octagon, circle, and a triangle on the area where it hit as a sign, but making the user be in a coma-like state until the Linker Core heals, using the extra energy to repair the wound, which also served as the "fan" to the extra energy. More than 7 centimeters, and the user would die an agonizing death. Less than that, and the sign would show; the user would probably die, albeit painlessly.This style is rarely used; those who have used it are either dead or have turned back on it and used the Neo-Belka style. Even at this stage, there are about 10 confirmed users of the Ustio style in TSAB active service right now, including Satoshi himself. Of those 10, 7 have been born with Linker Cores necessary to handle the pressure. The remaining 3, including Satoshi, have lived through the second option, with Satoshi being the youngest one to both live through the second option and to learn the style. Despite its rarity and flaws, it is a style not to mess with.
-Magic Circle:
One outer octagon and one inner octagon, with the outer one turning clockwise while the inner one turns counter-clockwise. Between the space made by the two octagons, there are four circles, having the Roman numerals 1, 50, 100, and 1,000 in a cross formation.
-Pros:
- Good hybrid style.
- Can handle almost all types of situations.
- Aggressive style in combat, which could make enemies falter.
-Cons:
-Aggressiveness can backfire.
-User has to be physically and mentally fit, and even then, the style is draining.
-Attack spells are draining if used in extended combat.
-Has a time limit to use, although there is a way to pass this.
-Method used to pass time limit is extremely dangerous.
Armament: Dual Device- Cipher Novus/Solo Pixy
Satoshi's Device, which has been with him since age 8. It seems to be a hybrid of an Intelligent and Armed device, but it has several noticeable differences. First, it's AI seems to be more advanced than standard Intelligent Devices, leaning to the ability and sophistication of Unison Devices. The AI also contains a personality, similar to its own user's. Dual Devices can speak in English,German, and Japanese, which is helpful to the user and the people around it. They could also address their user in several ways, or if wanted, to not call them any titles, which is what Satoshi has done. Similar to Armed Devices, it has a cartridge system, but the Dual Devices use caseless cartridges. Caseless cartirdges were made to address the problem of not having enough cartridges ready in an Armed Device. Caseless cartridges have all of the magical energy contained in the bullet-like shaped capsule themselves, contained by a special metal called Philomite to prevent the energy from blowing up the cartridge and possibly the user. Cipher can load up to 50 of these cartridges in a detachable box magazine, making it lighter in weight and meaning that Satoshi doesn't have to reload as much. The magazine is loaded parallel to the loading mechanism, making reloading easy, as Satoshi has to slide out the magazine, slide another one in, and push it in to lock. Unfortunately, Philomite is not cheap, and it is hard to make these types of cartridges, which means that Satoshi can't really use that much cartridges. The AI is also able to handle the cartridge system quite well, which is unusual for normal Intelligent Devices. It also has another unique ability: the Dual System. Apparently, Dual Devices can store one Storage Device to use if the user requests it or if the AI thinks that the situation is necessary to use it. The Storage Device will function as it has been set to do, but the AI has been replaced with another, more advanced version that is unlike regular Storage Devices. They can't be replaced or taken out, and all upgrades to it must be accepted by the main system itself. It has its advantages, as two Devices can be used for the energy drain of one Device and that they could be switched between themselves easily. These Devices can also make a shadow apparition of some person, although that can be activated only once. The Device still have a lot of mysteries though. For all of its ease and customization, its system is still researched, as most of the system code is encrypted and is hard to crack. The Devices have only been found, not made, and can't be used by anybody, except by special people. How it unlocks for certain people is still being researched, although there is the theory that Device can only be unlocked by someone with a Linker Core signature similar to who used it when it was first activated, although that has never been proven.
-Cipher/Cipher Novus- Cipher is the Main Device, and is the one Satoshi uses for most of his combat time. In its sealed state, it takes the form of a necklace that has 3 arrows forming a sort of airplane. In its unsealed state, it resembles a yari 20 ft long with a broad spade head. When Cipher was damaged during the fight with Signum, it requested an upgrade to its current form. The result, after a lot of disagreeing with Cipher is its upgraded form: Cipher Novus. Its sealed state is the same, but when unsealed, Cipher takes the form of a magari-yari (cross-shaped spear),which is the first form, Cross form. Cipher has two other forms: Defender Form, which takes the shape of a katakama yari (spear with a L-shaped blade), and Rush Form, which takes the form of a kama yari (cross shaped spear with the offshoots angled downwards). The Barrier Jacket also changes with the forms. Cipher's AI personality resembles Satoshi's own personality, although it will become blunt and stubborn at times.
-Pixy/ Solo Pixy- This is Cipher's Dual System Storage Device, and the one that Satoshi uses in special occasions. Pixy takes the form of a shotgun with a extended blade near the pump. When Cipher was damaged, so was Pixy, and an upgrade to Pixy was made. Solo Pixy, the upgraded form of Pixy, still has the form a shotgun, but the blade can be called if it needs to be. It is also upgraded to use ice-based attacks, similar to Chrono's Durandal. Pixy's AI personality is sort of a risk-taker and gambler, but is always a ready person.
Barrier Jacket: *Later*
Spells: *Later*
Trivia: *Later*
I have to go work on my homework now....I wish I didn't have to do it.
Very interesting. So, finally someone who knows not only the Aces (or should I say Strikers?) but Chrono as well. Shucks about the homework, but don't worry. We can feel your pain *looks at enourmous pile of homework and sighs*.
----------- Almaria:[Struggle Bind...] Sakura: *Rein-like mode* [Wha-? KYAAA! What are you doing?!] Almaria:[You'll have to forgive my impertinence... But it has been concluded that your fusion and actions with Kha-san would later cause a 73.82% chance of Keroko-san shooting Ion Cannon Breaker this time... This area (tech facility) is not to be damaged under any circumstances...] Sakura:[No! Hanaste! Father, help me!] Kha:(I'll leave this part to you, Kha the forum member.) Aurion: Almaria. Isn't that a little- Almaria:[I believe that the current discussion takes a higher priority than questioning my actions of preserving civility in this area right now. Please continue.]

While I know Keroko can be a bit twitchy when it comes to stupid comments, ICB is a little...
*sudenly remembers Keroko's personallity is 90% based on himself*
No, wait, yes she would.
@Flame: I'm jealous, I wish I could draw that well. Wicked looking blade.
Time for more insanity with the familiars and Mabiko too.
Spoiler for ...They have WHAT?!?:
A few months have passed since Mabiko accepted the job. To her suprise, she was posted in Hayate's new Riot Force 6 after initial magic level scans roughly placed her at a Natural A rank. Her arrival was not unannounced as she was met with some familiar faces as well as some new ones at the landing pad. Poor Zafira seemed to get the short end of the stick as ended up in charge of keeping all 5 sisters in line while Mabiko was out on missions or busy. However, Mabiko sensed her family's restlessness and talked with Shari about something. Soon the day of unveiling arrived. Hayate, Zaphira, and Signum were present along with Shari as Mabiko brought her 5 charges in.
Mabiko: You five have only been born 5 months and you're already causing trouble?
Mikoto: It's all Erika's fault, okaa-san. She's dragging us into explorin-
Mabiko: No excuses. Now do you know why we're here today?
Feena: If it isn't to reprimand us, okaa-sama, then I think we don't have any idea.
Mabiko: I have heard from Zaphira on how much you like to hear mission recounts. And I managed to get some paperwork filed through Hayate.
Leticia: Does that mean...
Mabiko: You will be joining me in the field once Zaphira has run you through combat training.
Erika: Finally! I was just thinking how bored it'd be now that I've basically been everywhere.
Mabiko: However, given your current sizes, that won't be happening, but I figure it's time to give you this.
Yuuki: Eh?
Reaching down and tying a pendant to each one, Mabiko then motioned for them to stand in the open area of the room.
Mabiko: Now look within yourselves and feel the new connection. Find the words to access the new connection within your heart.
Erika: Jyouketsu na honoo wa kono chi ni nagare.(Flames of purification flowing in my blood) Sono chikara de aku wo tataku.(Using this power to Strike evil) Comet Buster, Ignition!
Leticia: Kaze wo kiiteru no mama de.(Only listening to the great wind) Donna jyoukyou demo uketomete.(Being able to stop all situations) Comet Guider, Engage!
Feena: Atsui Tamashii ni chiisana karada.(A burning soul within a small body) Koutetsu no toushi de mirai wo michibiku.(Guided towards the future with steeled fighting spirit) Comet Core, Activate!
Mikoto: Seinaru shimei wo ukete. (Accepting the holy directive) Mizu no shizuku no you ni nagarete. (Flowing like a trickle of water) Comet Striker, Start Up!
Yuuki: Inochi wo kakureru daichi. (Life hidden within the earth) Subete no kizuna wo musuberu. (Forging all bonds) Comet Crasher, Go!
Five flashes of light later, the five foxes had the appearance 15 year old girls with fox ears and tail.
Zaphira: Hrm...looks like the training zone will be active for a while.
Erika's uniform was bright blood red, accentuating her waist-length blond hair and blue eyes while her right arm was completely armored up to the shoulder with the same armor used in Eisenfach. The same visor that Mabiko used is strapped around her eyes as the left side bears Mabiko's personal crest marked with a 2.
Feena was next, a silvery uniform from body to toe, matching her silver hair that framed her emerald green eyes, as 4 orbs shone from their imbedded places in both gauntlets, the center of the waist armor and the center of the breast plate. a Matching visor is sported with a 3 on the crest.
Mikoto was the mirror image of Erika, sporting the armor on the left side instead with a aquamarine blue uniform match her eyes while her ruby hair was tied in a high ponytail. Her visor was marked with a 4.
Leticiia was next, her emerald green uniform completely covering her while a full breastplate and facemask rounds out her armor. Her sapphire eyes peirce through the visor as her blonde high ponytail hangs the waist-length hair up a notch. On her visor side was marked a 5.
Yuuki was last, but still impressive with her ponytailed chocolate brown hair and blue eyes. Her Brown uniform covered her body to toe, her waist, legs, and feet completely covered in armor while she sported a visor with the side marked with a 6.
Mabiko: Kidou Rokka Dokuritsu Butai Skyfox, Shuugou!(Riot Force 6 Independent Team Skyfox, Assembled) Report to Zaphira for training exercise starting tomorrow. You have the rest of the day to familiarize yourself with your new humanoid forms. Go ahead and deactivate your devices. You will still retain your humanoid form, as it is you and not the device that is the source of this form. Ganbatte ne, atashi no taisetsuna musume-tachi.(Go for it, my precious daughters) Dismissed.
As Mabiko got fox-piled by her daughters, Hayate looked on with a slight bittersweet smile.
Hayate: She's straining herself.
Signum: Aruji?
Shari: She's hiding it , but Mabiko's linker core is being heavily taxed not only by both of her devices, but supporting 5 familiars and their own devices. At this rate, she might end up like-
Hayate: Not another word, Shari. I have seen Mabiko-chan in action before the creation of her new family though. She won't fall easily, but chances of her having the same circumstances are much higher since she works solo. The love for family pushes her to prepare them if the time ever came that they would be without her...
Zaphira: Anyways, I'm going to have Nanoha take a look at this training regimen.
Hayate: ...Mabiko-chan, just what is the nature of your lost logia...
Did I confuse you enough?
I'm not gonna bother counting references. I'm losing track of them as it is.
Ah yes, and I still have a hidden function for the girl's devices.
@Aaron
Maybe it is a good idea that I'm developing this way, given how those Einst are. You haven't put out ***** Regissuer or Alchimie/Alfimy yet either.
Histoy:
Kuro was adopted at a young age and didn't know much about his real parents. He did, however, keep two items he inherited from them with him at all times. As he grew up on Earth however, he had no knowledge of magic.
As a boy, he quickly became good friends with his classmate Sera while in elementary school and continued this friendship when they entered middle school. They talked to each other often and knew about each other's history and personality.
One day, while with Sera, the two items Kuro kepted started to shine, and then talk. He was startled by this as they never have done this before. One of the two asked to be given to the girl, Sera, and then gave further instructions. Following them, Sera transformed into a magical girl. Right after the transformation, a man appeared, demanding to be given the two items. The boy refused, which led to the man attacking the pair.
The two items, calling themselves intelligent devices, taught their two new masters about magic during the battle. The two learned quickly, and the girl was able to fend off the attacker. The devices then explained to the two about Kuro's real parents, who were a part of the TSAB before they died.
After the event, Kuro, who was incapable of using magic, still studied it through his intelligent device, specifically around tactics and strategies of magical combat while Sera trained secretly from her parents. They both knew that there was a possibility that the man will attack again, so they made sure to be prepared for whenever that might happen.
The day came when the man attacked again, but however, he brought along a bunch of others with him. He was a part of a criminal organization and knew that the devices the children had were not only powerful, but can accumulate a sum on the black market.
The two worked together in the fight, the boy analyzing the strengths, weakness, strategies and tactics of their opponent while the girl did the fighting. Although the combination was surprisingly effective, they were being overwhelmed. At this point, however, TSAB forces appeared, led by a man named Chrono Harlaown.
The criminals were arrested, and Kuro and Sera were both invited to join the TSAB. Knowing that they could use their new skills there, they explained their situation to their parents and were allowed to join the TSAB.
About:
Kuro is fairly serious in nature but can take a joke. He is usually very perceptive and often comments on things others don't notice. On the other hand, he doesn't talk much about things that are very obvious. He is, though, very supportive of Sera.
After he joined the TSAB, he got training in martial arts so that he could at the very least be minimally effective in combat, but mostly focused on strategy and tactics, as well as observing magic training. Despite having no magical power, he managed to get a front-line role as a tactician and in the same group as Sera. In this role, he coordinates the mages in battle, as well as analysing the enemy.
He was on the front-line because it gave him a better view of the battlefield, and that he didn't like observing battles from a monitor. In any case, his effectiveness at the rather new type of position was impressive, making 80% more efficiant at first, and even more so as time went by.
Kuro's device was modified to better suit his being a non-mage. Much more of its functions were focused on auto-casting spells, and later it was modified to be able to give it's user limited flight abilities.
Spoiler for Sera:
Name: Sera Gender: Female Age: 17 Hair Colour: Black Eye Colour: Blue
TSAB Mage Rank: AAA+ Magic Type: Midchilda Magic Colour: Dark Blue
Histoy:
Sera was also adopted at a young age and has no memory or information of her real parents. She met Kuro in elementary and became quick friends.
When Kuro's devices first started to talk, it surprised the both of them. The first device asked to be given to her and so he gave it to her. The device then told her that it has discover a possibly hostile mage in the vicinity and that she has potential to engage it in magical combat if necessary. Following its advice, she created a barrier jacket for herself and turned the device into its device mode.
The mage appeaered, demanding the devices from the two. After they refused, the mage attacked them. She quickly learned how to use the magic from her device and managed to fight back. Noticing that it was more trouble than it was worth, the enemy mage withdrew from the battle.
Knowing that the mage was likely to come back again, Sera started training with her device in magic combat, however, she didn't let anybody other than Kuro know about it. By the time the mage appeared again, she was considerably stronger.
However, that time she was vastly outnumbered. Although she was doing well with Kuro's help, the difference in numbers was too much. However, Chrono Harlaown soon came in with a squad of mages and the battle was decided. This was shortly after the Book of Darkness incident.
Sera and Kuro decided after the attack to join the TSAB, as it will, among other things, allow them to be much safer from similar attacks. In order to explain the situation to thier parents so that they can go join the TSAB, they received help from not only TSAB members stationed at Asura, but also from another Earth-born mage.
About:
Sera has a very cheerful personality and although she enjoys talking, she's actually not very social person. She likes to hang around alot with people she's familiar with but is often slow in interacting with strangers. She can be awfully curious and has a tendancy of sticking to something very strong but can be shortsighted and is easily tunnel-visioned.
She is one of the few Earth-born who are very proficient in magic but the origin of the ability, like her parents, are unknown.
In combat, Sera wields a spear-like Intelligent Device and has a tendancy to use ice-based spell attacks. She is also proficient in both defensive and support spells. She uses many dual-purpose spells, some of which act as both offense and defense at once, rather than single-purpose spells. Her fighting style, however, makes for a natural tendancy to make focus on a single target in exclusion of others.
Spoiler for misc:
Kuro has demonstrated alot of interest in learning more about his real parents, but Sera has shown little interest in her own real parents. As a result, Kuro has started to do his own research into Sera's real parents, having already learned alot about his own.
I might get to naming their Intelligent Devices later.
Sera's Intelligent Device comes from Kuro's real mother, while Kuro's comes from the father.
Kuro's real parents are MIA, but not confirmed dead. One of them is from Earth.
I probably screwed up consistancy somewhere in here, as I was doing it as I go.
'Spent the last few days trying to think of Kuro's profile. Sera's was just a few hours.
Hmm. Your characters looks like they'd fit in an RPG where you first start with one character of your choice before the other joins you later. Impressive.

A few months have passed since Mabiko accepted the job. To her suprise, she was posted in Hayate's new Riot Force 6 after initial magic level scans roughly placed her at a Natural A rank. Her arrival was not unannounced as she was met with some familiar faces as well as some new ones at the landing pad. Poor Zafira seemed to get the short end of the stick as ended up in charge of keeping all 5 sisters in line while Mabiko was out on missions or busy. However, Mabiko sensed her family's restlessness and talked with Shari about something. Soon the day of unveiling arrived. Hayate, Zaphira, and Signum were present along with Shari as Mabiko brought her 5 charges in.
Mabiko: You five have only been born 5 months and you're already causing trouble?
Mikoto: It's all Erika's fault, okaa-san. She's dragging us into explorin-
Mabiko: No excuses. Now do you know why we're here today?
Feena: If it isn't to reprimand us, okaa-sama, then I think we don't have any idea.
Mabiko: I have heard from Zaphira on how much you like to hear mission recounts. And I managed to get some paperwork filed through Hayate.
Leticia: Does that mean...
Mabiko: You will be joining me in the field once Zaphira has run you through combat training.
Erika: Finally! I was just thinking how bored it'd be now that I've basically been everywhere.
Mabiko: However, given your current sizes, that won't be happening, but I figure it's time to give you this.
Yuuki: Eh?
Reaching down and tying a pendant to each one, Mabiko then motioned for them to stand in the open area of the room.
Mabiko: Now look within yourselves and feel the new connection. Find the words to access the new connection within your heart.
Erika: Jyouketsu na honoo wa kono chi ni nagare.(Flames of purification flowing in my blood) Sono chikara de aku wo tataku.(Using this power to Strike evil) Comet Buster, Ignition!
Leticia: Kaze wo kiiteru no mama de.(Only listening to the great wind) Donna jyoukyou demo uketomete.(Being able to stop all situations) Comet Guider, Engage!
Feena: Atsui Tamashii ni chiisana karada.(A burning soul within a small body) Koutetsu no toushi de mirai wo michibiku.(Guided towards the future with steeled fighting spirit) Comet Core, Activate!
Mikoto: Seinaru shimei wo ukete. (Accepting the holy directive) Mizu no shizuku no you ni nagarete. (Flowing like a trickle of water) Comet Striker, Start Up!
Yuuki: Inochi wo kakureru daichi. (Life hidden within the earth) Subete no kizuna wo musuberu. (Forging all bonds) Comet Crasher, Go!
Five flashes of light later, the five foxes had the appearance 15 year old girls with fox ears and tail.
Zaphira: Hrm...looks like the training zone will be active for a while.
Erika's uniform was bright blood red, accentuating her waist-length blond hair and blue eyes while her right arm was completely armored up to the shoulder with the same armor used in Eisenfach. The same visor that Mabiko used is strapped around her eyes as the left side bears Mabiko's personal crest marked with a 2.
Feena was next, a silvery uniform from body to toe, matching her silver hair that framed her emerald green eyes, as 4 orbs shone from their imbedded places in both gauntlets, the center of the waist armor and the center of the breast plate. a Matching visor is sported with a 3 on the crest.
Mikoto was the mirror image of Erika, sporting the armor on the left side instead with a aquamarine blue uniform match her eyes while her ruby hair was tied in a high ponytail. Her visor was marked with a 4.
Leticiia was next, her emerald green uniform completely covering her while a full breastplate and facemask rounds out her armor. Her sapphire eyes peirce through the visor as her blonde high ponytail hangs the waist-length hair up a notch. On her visor side was marked a 5.
Yuuki was last, but still impressive with her ponytailed chocolate brown hair and blue eyes. Her Brown uniform covered her body to toe, her waist, legs, and feet completely covered in armor while she sported a visor with the side marked with a 6.
Mabiko: Kidou Rokka Dokuritsu Butai Skyfox, Shuugou!(Riot Force 6 Independent Team Skyfox, Assembled) Report to Zaphira for training exercise starting tomorrow. You have the rest of the day to familiarize yourself with your new humanoid forms. Go ahead and deactivate your devices. You will still retain your humanoid form, as it is you and not the device that is the source of this form. Ganbatte ne, atashi no taisetsuna musume-tachi.(Go for it, my precious daughters) Dismissed.
As Mabiko got fox-piled by her daughters, Hayate looked on with a slight bittersweet smile.
Hayate: She's straining herself.
Signum: Aruji?
Shari: She's hiding it , but Mabiko's linker core is being heavily taxed not only by both of her devices, but supporting 5 familiars and their own devices. At this rate, she might end up like-
Hayate: Not another word, Shari. I have seen Mabiko-chan in action before the creation of her new family though. She won't fall easily, but chances of her having the same circumstances are much higher since she works solo. The love for family pushes her to prepare them if the time ever came that they would be without her...
Zaphira: Anyways, I'm going to have Nanoha take a look at this training regimen.
Hayate: ...Mabiko-chan, just what is the nature of your lost logia...
Did I confuse you enough?
Yes, yes you did. Anyway, FIVE combat familiars? She's gonna get strained like Nanoha eight years ago.

@Aaron
Maybe it is a good idea that I'm developing this way, given how those Einst are. You haven't put out ***** Regissuer or Alchimie/Alfimy yet either.
***** Regissuer is WAAAAAY too much, even if subjected to a shrink ray. And we don't have Neviim, remember?
And about Alchimie, I'm still working on her. Thanks, anyway.
After checking most of the characters created so far, I see we are missing some antagonists. So here I go with my newest project. Yes, project, as I have here five new characters.
But first, here is Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the introduction to them.
Spoiler for Episode 01 - Part 1:
Episode 01: The Beginning – Part 1: Introduction - Dr. Scaglietti’s Log
~open log
How interesting.
What do they think they are, trying to start a war against the Time-Space Administration Bureau?
No matter. They are still my clients and this will prove to be quite the opportunity to test my newest creations. They are paying well, after all... Huh? Who is it?
Green-haired Woman: Doctor, here are the five chosen subjects for the next experiment. Scaglietti: Ah, let me see them...
Scaglietti: Hmm, again four girls and one boy. Woman: Yes, I think we can safely assume from now on that girls have better compatibilities with Relics. Here is the first one.
Code Name: LRW #59: Aeolos
Real Name: Iris (Last Name unknown)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Origin: 56th Non-Administrative World
- Found when she was 2 years old. Raised in Research Facility #34
- Compatible with Relics #24 (87%), #52 (54%), #28 (45%)
Woman: This girl has excellent potential with Relic #24. Scaglietti: Which Relic is this? Woman: It is a wind elemental Relic. It was found a couple of years ago lifting a whole city in Unidentified Planet #12. We assume that the Relic can also control gravity, but all tests in that matter have failed so far. Scaglietti: 87% is a good percentage. Lets see the next one.
Code Name: LRW #60: Rhadamanthys
Real Name: Natalia Lanster
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Origin World: none
- Clone. Raised in Research Facility #34
- Compatible with Relics #66 (85%), #53 (42%), #36 (29%)
Scaglietti: *shocked* Relic #66? Rhadamanthys? Are you sure? Woman: Yes, we were also surprised. Scaglietti: One of the most unstable Relics we have found so far... one that is said to contain a living creature. Rhadamanthys, the "Judge of the Underworld"... how fitting. This will certainly be interesting to see.
Code Name: LRW #61: Gaia
Real Name: Doesn’t have one
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Origin: Research Facility #34
- Genetically enhanced
- Compatible with Relics #15 (88%), #26 (85%), #52 (83%), more>
Scaglietti: No wonder this boy made it out of the Relic compatibility tests. Woman: Yes. He was specifically created to be compatible with Relic #15. Scaglietti: Ah, I remember now. An earth elemental Relic with the enough power to shake an entire continent... But 88%? Is that the best he could have done? Woman: Our tests do not go much further. Only once have we attained 90% compatibility. What are more interesting are his high compatibilities with other Relics as well. Scaglietti: Hmhmhm... This is most exciting. In the future I'll definitely have to try to fuse two Relics. Woman: But Dr.! Such thing would be too dangero-- Scaglietti: Don't worry, I know the risks. Continue.
*The woman calms down a bit... and continues*
Code Name: LRW#62: Amphitrite #2
Real Name: Ashelyn Miter
Gender: Female
Age: 11
Origin: 84th Non-Administrated World
- Raised in Research Facility #34
- Compatible with Relic #58 (79%)
Scaglietti: 79%? Don’t we have a better Relic for this girl? Woman: Our client specifically wanted to use these five kids, so we have no other choice. Moreover, they wanted a well-rounded group so they could control Land, Sea, and Air. Scaglietti: I don't like it very much, but proceed.
Code Name: LRW#63: Gwendolyn
Real Name: Sarah Alicia Lushien
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Origin: Mid-Childa
- Found when she was 4 years old. Raised in Research Facility #34
- Compatible with Relics #60 (96%), #49 (81%), #55 (73%)
Scaglietti: 96%?! That's incredible. Woman: This is the highest compatibility level we have ever reached. And the results are constant. Scaglietti: She can probably be as powerful as Lutecia. What are the specs of Relic #60? Woman: So far our tests have not uncovered any abnormal powers or capabilities... Only that... Scaglietti: Only what? Woman: Apparently this Relic has unlimited energy... In theory, if it acts as a Linker Core, the user would never run out of stamina. Scaglietti: An unlimited source of energy... Why havent it been used as a power source for our experiments? Woman: While we have run various tests, we still cannot find a way to extract and use its power. Scaglietti: Well, that's not surprising. Anyway, lets proceed as planned. Woman: Understood.
…Gwendolyn, huh? I am must lucky. I will be able to see her growth alongside Lutecia's.
~close log
Spoiler for Episode 01 - Part 2:
Episode 01: The Beginning – Part 2: The First Strike
Natalia: Wow, the TSAB sure is serious. They even brought a floating battleship. Iris: Flying! Not floating... Natalia: That's the same thing! Iris: You make it sound so cheesy... Rhea: And what is this weird encampment? Gwendolyn: This is one of Yokera’s primary trading routes. No wonder why they asked us to defend it. Natalia: Bleh, I don’t like this desert already… there is…sand…*bleh* all over the place… Ashelyn: Ahaha~ I think this place is fun~ Rhea: Yeah, first time we come to a place like this. Iris: Alright, let’s get this over with. I’ll take care of the flying battleship. Gwendolyn: OK. Rhea, can I count on you to disable their land forces? Rhea: Leave it to me! Gwendolyn: Thank you. *kind smile* Rhea: *blushes* N-no need to thank me, Gwendolyn-san. Gwendolyn: Ashelyn and Lily, please support Rhea. I will go with Iris. Ashelyn: OK! Natalia: Ack! I told you not to call me Lily! Gwendolyn: *giggles* Don’t go on your own this time, Natalia. Natalia: … Do you still not trust me? Gwendolyn: That’s not it. I trust every one of you the same. I just don’t think your powers will be needed in this battle. …Your Relic is the most powerful of our five, but also one that has yet to be controlled by anyone. I believe you can—no, I know you can master it. But you have to be patient. Natalia: … Ashelyn: Don’t worry, Gwen-chan! I will keep an eye on Lily. *giggles while looking at Natalia* Natalia: *mad* *grabs Ashelyn and starts tickling her* Ashelyn: Aah~ Let me go! Gwendolyn: OK, let’s go, everyone!
Natalia: Iris… come here. Iris: Hm? Natalia: *whispers* Don’t let Gwendolyn kill anyone, OK? Iris: *smiles* Yeah. Don’t worry, I will kill them all before they get to her. And you do the same with Ashelyn. Natalia: Of course. Rhea, you, and I are all we need to finish the job.
Gwendolyn: Hey, we will leave you two behind! Natalia: Ah! We’re coming.
The TSAB was indeed serious about shutting down the encampment. Their ground forces were numerous, with tanks, mobile artillery and ground mages. And the air support included a flying battleship of great proportions. While they would have easily accomplished their goals, they did not predict the impossible.
Iris: That battleship is huge. It must be their mobile headquarters. Gwendolyn: Yes. If we disable it, the battle will be over. Iris: Gwen, stand back a little. Gwendolyn: Alright. Do you want a power enchantment? Iris: No, I want to do this myself.
Iris closes her eyes and a greatly deformed Mid-Childan-like blue magic circle was summoned beneath her feet. As she opens her eyes, Iris extends her right arm and points at the huge battleship in front of her. And only with her pure will power, the atmospheric pressure of the area around the battleship started going up exponentially.
Flight command 1: Commander! Something is not right. The atmospheric pressure is rising... and fast! We’re losing altitude! Flight command 2: We’re also losing control of the ship! Commander: What is going on? …Ugh--!
With her eyes now glowing navy blue, she slowly moves her right arm downwards. With just a simple movement of her arm, the air around the ship unconditionally moved in the desired direction. Because of the sudden change in air pressure, a couple of tornados were formed in the vicinity.
Iris: J-just a bit more… It’s too big; I will have to increase the pressure… Gwendolyn: Don’t push yourself too hard or—
At that moment, Iris lost some of the control over the tremendous power she was trying to command. The sudden fluctuation of pressure in the area around the ship caused an electro-magnetic explosion that disabled the ship and all the mobile vehicles in the area.
Iris: A—Ahh~! Damn you... I will... control you... Gwendolyn: Leucosia! Leucosia: Enchanter Field: Magic Limiter
This time a perfect Mid-Childan magic circle was summoned. This time, it was white. Gwendolyn imbues Iris with a magic field that limited the output of the relic’s power. Thanks to Gwendolyn's incredible amount of energy and magic control, her enchantment was able to stop Iris' magic outburst.
Leucosia: Enchanter Field: Magic Control
Because of Gwendolyn’s apparently unlimited source of energy, she is able to sustain more than one field enchantment at the same time.
Iris: *pants pants* Gwendolyn: Are you OK? Iris: Y-yes, thank you. I'm in control now. Gwendolyn: *giggles* You almost had it. Next time I'm sure you will do a lot better. Iris: ... Gwendolyn: What is it? Iris: ...I just keep thinking... If it wasn’t for you, we would all be dead by now. Gwendolyn: ...
As Gwendolyn was lost in thought, a very powerful earthquake erupted. The earthquake opened a huge crater below the ground force’s tanks and mobile artillery, disabling most of them.
Iris: I see Rhea did not have any trouble over there. Gwendolyn: Yeah... Iris: Gwen. Gwendolyn: Hm? Iris: Thank you. Gwendolyn: *blushes* F-For what? Iris: *smiles* For looking out for us. But let me tell you one thing. Gwendolyn: ... Iris: We won’t let these relics control us. We won’t die. Trust us. Gwendolyn: B-but... I do! Iris: We all may not have anywhere to go, anything to look for, or any place we can call home, but... *looks at Gwendolyn* Gwendolyn: ... Iris: We have someone to go back to. *smiles* Gwendolyn: ...
Tears stared to roll down. Tears of relief, as she now knows that her new powers can be useful to those she cares for. Tears of joy, as she is finally part of something special.
Gwendolyn blushed and tried to hold the tears up.
Iris: *smiles* Come; let’s get out of here before they find us. Gwendolyn: ... Uh-huh...
The five reunited after a successful mission. They were then sent back to Research Facility #34 in Mid-Childa, where Dr. Scaglietti was waiting to check out the newest results.
Spoiler for Episode 01 - Part 3:
Episode 01: The Beginning – Part 3: A Step Forward
*Mid-Childa
*Inside secret Research Facility #34
Natalia: *pants pants*
Iris: Hey, Lily, you’re still trying to pull that off? Natalia: Iris, Ashelyn… Hm! Shut up, Iris. I know this can be done. Ashelyn: Your Relic is still unstable… maybe you should rest a little before— Natalia: *pats Ashelyn on the head with a smile and giggles* You sure worry too much. But don’t; I will control this thing no matter what. Ashelyn: *blushes* Ah! Those wounds… let me take care of them. Natalia: … Ok… Say, where are Gwendolyn and Rhea? Iris: Scaglietti asked Gwen to go see him personally. Apparently something happened. Natalia: I see. Soon we will leave this place and we will be used as weapons again, huh? Iris: … Ashelyn: … Natalia: Oh well, at least its better than staying inside those damn tubes. Gwendolyn: We won’t be used as weapons anymore. Everyone: Gwen!
Gwendolyn: …And that is the situation. Iris: Heh. That Administration Bureau is not as ignorant as I thought. Natalia: Idiot, you thought they wouldn’t notice? That company—eh—what was the name… Joker?—well, doesn’t matter anymore… That company has been gathering all kinds of weapons and spaceships for the last few years. They even had enough wealth to hire us! Gwendolyn: Their mistake was to try and smuggle those Relics here in Mid-Childa. I heard the TSAB now has a special unit dedicated to track down Relics. Iris: That’s very interesting. I wonder what kind of mages they have. Rhea: No matter who they have, they are no match for us. Natalia: Heheh. When we fight them we will kno—Wait. What’s our new mission anyway? Gwendolyn: *smiles* We won’t have any more missions. Ashelyn: … What will we do now then? Rhea: The Dr. told us that we can leave the facility and do whatever we want! Natalia: What? That sounds way too suspicious. What did he create us for then? Gwendolyn: His only objective is to research and study our growth. Iris: Heh. That dirty old man. Ashelyn: We are… free… then? Gwendolyn: Lutecia went out to search for something important to her. Do any of you have something you would like to do?
As they looked at each other, they noticed how similar they were. They had nothing outside the facility walls. They only had themselves.
Ashelyn: I… I just don’t want to be separated from you all. Rhea: I have nowhere else to go… since I was created here… Natalia: Rhea! We told you not to talk like that! Ashelyn: Yeah! It doesn’t matter if you were created; you’re still a living person like any of us! Rhea: … Sorry. Iris: Gwen, how about you, I can tell you have something in mind. Gwendolyn: Well, yes. I am going to hunt down all the Relics I can. Iris: Relics? Why would you need those? Gwendolyn: I made a pact with Dr. Scaglietti. If I bring him a Relic, he will use it on another of our friends, and free them. Natalia: Wait, why don’t we just destroy this damn facility and save everyone? Gwendolyn: Their bodies will not survive outside of those capsules for long. Ashelyn: But the process can go wrong and they could die! We are very lucky to still be alive. Rhea: … I heard from some of the people here… that they would rather die than stay inside those capsules… Gwendolyn: … Ashelyn: … Natalia: … Iris: … Natalia: Then, it’s settled. Let’s do this. Gwendolyn: Wait, you don’t have to do this. It is very risky. We will most likely have to fight against the TSAB! Natalia: What are you talking about; we are friends, aren’t we? Rhea: I will follow you anywhere you go! Ashelyn: Yes! Let’s go together! Iris: I guess we have no other choice but to follow you, then. You can’t possibly fight against the TSAB alone. Gwendolyn: You guys…
Hmm. Your characters looks like they'd fit in an RPG where you first start with one character of your choice before the other joins you later. Impressive.
I'm not exactly sure of how I should feel about this.
Most awesome there, Kieth is very VERY stylish with the scarf, giving him a ninja look (his overall style reminds me of DaiRaiOh ). And Partizan looks quite deadly, especially in Gram Form.
*two thumbs up*

EINSTS
First off, I'll be showing their units. Please note that the images are SD versions of the real units.
Unit Name: Einst Knochen
Height: Varies
Weight: Varies
An Einst that looks like a reptilian monster made out of bones. It is the most basic, yet versatile units of the Einsts. It has powerful and sharp claws and teeth, and is also shown to be able to detach and use its 'horns' as boomerang like weapons Its name "Einst Knochen" means "Once Bone" in German.
Unit Name: Einst Glied
Height: Varies
Weight: Varies
An Einst that looks like plant-like tentacles suited in armor. It is mainly a ranged unit based on its ability to shoot powerful lasers from it's head. Its tentacles are frighteningly efficient in ensnaring and trapping opponents; though, thankfully, it is not too durable. Its name "Einst Glied" means "Once Limb" in German.
------------ Almaria:[Struggle Bind...] Sakura: *Rein-like mode* [Wha-? KYAAA! What are you doing?!] Almaria:[You'll have to forgive my impertinence... But it has been concluded that your fusion and actions with Kha-san would later cause a 73.82% chance of Keroko-san shooting Ion Cannon Breaker this time... This area (tech facility) is not to be damaged under any circumstances...] Sakura:[No! Hanaste! Father, help me!] Kha:(I'll leave this part to you, Kha the forum member.) Aurion: Almaria. Isn't that a little- Almaria:[I believe that the current discussion takes a higher priority than questioning my actions of preserving civility in this area right now. Please continue. (directed at me)]
-----------
Anyway...
Unit Name: Einst Gemuet
Height: Varies
Weight: Varies
A monster that resembles an empty suit of heavy armor. Out of the basic Einsts, this one has the best defense and also a frightenigly powerful offense. It flings and controls it's armor parts around at will as weapons, sometimes even 'eating' the target by a horrid expantion of the belly area to form a large mouth. Its name "Einst Gemüt" means "Once Emotion" in German.
Unit Name: Einst Regisseur
Height: over 25 meters
Weight: unknown
An extremely large and powerful Einst that is over 25 meters tall. The Einst Regisseur possesses parts from Knochen, Glied and the Gemüt forms as well. This giant beastiality has four vine-like tentacles spreading from its left arm and a giant claw on its right. Its body is composed of the purple armor seen on the Einst Gemüt, and it has wings, horns and a twin-tail made of bones. This monstrosity can decimate an extremely large amount of space in only a few minutes. Its name "Einst Regisseur" means "Once Director" in German.
Unit Name: Neu Regisseur
Height: over 80 meters
Weight: unknown
The leader of the Einst Series. Born from one of the planets that spawned the many races of the galaxy. Its duty is as the overseer of the galaxy, and to keep the peace. Should there be any unbalance or dangerous elements that will threaten the peace, such as the recent conflicts involving Lost Logia, the Einsts will move to destroy it and wipe it off the face of existence. Neue does not see itself as God, and it is stubborn in its job as the galaxy's security guard. In its evaluation of the ever-warring races of te galaxy, it has determined that the mankind must be destroyed. And thus, Neue Regisseur orders the Einst Series to move, in order to create a new universe. In itself, it is a most frightening creature of demonically high magical power. Its name "Neue Regisseur" means "New Director" in German.
And now for more info:
- The Einsts consider themselves as the protectors of the balance in the galaxy. And have deemed the Ancient Logians as dangerous and set out to wipe them out. The Logians were somehow able to use their advanced technology to banish them forever in the place in-between dimensions for all of eternity, or so they thought.
- The seal on their prison is to be weakened by Precia Testarossa's attempt to get to El Hazard. They are to be released from their prison one year later. And they spend the next nine years observing the new civilization of the vastly different universe.
- Unlike in the SRW Universes, the basic Einsts are now only slightly larger than most humans.
Thanks to The Gate of Magus website for most of the info and the sprites.
I''ll add more later.
EINSTS!!!!
Nice additions to our basic villain roster there, I don't especially want to get into with Gemuet (seeing his OGS attack against SRX made me go ) And the Regisseurs are VERY large even here

Name: Kuro Gender: Male Age: 17 Hair Colour: Black Eye Colour: Brown
Histoy:
Kuro was adopted at a young age and didn't know much about his real parents. He did, however, keep two items he inherited from them with him at all times. As he grew up on Earth however, he had no knowledge of magic.
As a boy, he quickly became good friends with his classmate Sera while in elementary school and continued this friendship when they entered middle school. They talked to each other often and knew about each other's history and personality.
One day, while with Sera, the two items Kuro kepted started to shine, and then talk. He was startled by this as they never have done this before. One of the two asked to be given to the girl, Sera, and then gave further instructions. Following them, Sera transformed into a magical girl. Right after the transformation, a man appeared, demanding to be given the two items. The boy refused, which led to the man attacking the pair.
The two items, calling themselves intelligent devices, taught their two new masters about magic during the battle. The two learned quickly, and the girl was able to fend off the attacker. The devices then explained to the two about Kuro's real parents, who were a part of the TSAB before they died.
After the event, Kuro, who was incapable of using magic, still studied it through his intelligent device, specifically around tactics and strategies of magical combat while Sera trained secretly from her parents. They both knew that there was a possibility that the man will attack again, so they made sure to be prepared for whenever that might happen.
The day came when the man attacked again, but however, he brought along a bunch of others with him. He was a part of a criminal organization and knew that the devices the children had were not only powerful, but can accumulate a sum on the black market.
The two worked together in the fight, the boy analyzing the strengths, weakness, strategies and tactics of their opponent while the girl did the fighting. Although the combination was surprisingly effective, they were being overwhelmed. At this point, however, TSAB forces appeared, led by a man named Chrono Harlaown.
The criminals were arrested, and Kuro and Sera were both invited to join the TSAB. Knowing that they could use their new skills there, they explained their situation to their parents and were allowed to join the TSAB.
About:
Kuro is fairly serious in nature but can take a joke. He is usually very perceptive and often comments on things others don't notice. On the other hand, he doesn't talk much about things that are very obvious. He is, though, very supportive of Sera.
After he joined the TSAB, he got training in martial arts so that he could at the very least be minimally effective in combat, but mostly focused on strategy and tactics, as well as observing magic training. Despite having no magical power, he managed to get a front-line role as a tactician and in the same group as Sera. In this role, he coordinates the mages in battle, as well as analysing the enemy.
He was on the front-line because it gave him a better view of the battlefield, and that he didn't like observing battles from a monitor. In any case, his effectiveness at the rather new type of position was impressive, making 80% more efficiant at first, and even more so as time went by.
Kuro's device was modified to better suit his being a non-mage. Much more of its functions were focused on auto-casting spells, and later it was modified to be able to give it's user limited flight abilities.
Spoiler for Sera:
Name: Sera Gender: Female Age: 17 Hair Colour: Black Eye Colour: Blue
TSAB Mage Rank: AAA+ Magic Type: Midchilda Magic Colour: Dark Blue
Histoy:
Sera was also adopted at a young age and has no memory or information of her real parents. She met Kuro in elementary and became quick friends.
When Kuro's devices first started to talk, it surprised the both of them. The first device asked to be given to her and so he gave it to her. The device then told her that it has discover a possibly hostile mage in the vicinity and that she has potential to engage it in magical combat if necessary. Following its advice, she created a barrier jacket for herself and turned the device into its device mode.
The mage appeaered, demanding the devices from the two. After they refused, the mage attacked them. She quickly learned how to use the magic from her device and managed to fight back. Noticing that it was more trouble than it was worth, the enemy mage withdrew from the battle.
Knowing that the mage was likely to come back again, Sera started training with her device in magic combat, however, she didn't let anybody other than Kuro know about it. By the time the mage appeared again, she was considerably stronger.
However, that time she was vastly outnumbered. Although she was doing well with Kuro's help, the difference in numbers was too much. However, Chrono Harlaown soon came in with a squad of mages and the battle was decided. This was shortly after the Book of Darkness incident.
Sera and Kuro decided after the attack to join the TSAB, as it will, among other things, allow them to be much safer from similar attacks. In order to explain the situation to thier parents so that they can go join the TSAB, they received help from not only TSAB members stationed at Asura, but also from another Earth-born mage.
About:
Sera has a very cheerful personality and although she enjoys talking, she's actually not very social person. She likes to hang around alot with people she's familiar with but is often slow in interacting with strangers. She can be awfully curious and has a tendancy of sticking to something very strong but can be shortsighted and is easily tunnel-visioned.
She is one of the few Earth-born who are very proficient in magic but the origin of the ability, like her parents, are unknown.
In combat, Sera wields a spear-like Intelligent Device and has a tendancy to use ice-based spell attacks. She is also proficient in both defensive and support spells. She uses many dual-purpose spells, some of which act as both offense and defense at once, rather than single-purpose spells. Her fighting style, however, makes for a natural tendancy to make focus on a single target in exclusion of others.
Spoiler for misc:
Kuro has demonstrated alot of interest in learning more about his real parents, but Sera has shown little interest in her own real parents. As a result, Kuro has started to do his own research into Sera's real parents, having already learned alot about his own.
I might get to naming their Intelligent Devices later.
Sera's Intelligent Device comes from Kuro's real mother, while Kuro's comes from the father.
Kuro's real parents are MIA, but not confirmed dead. One of them is from Earth.
I probably screwed up consistancy somewhere in here, as I was doing it as I go.
'Spent the last few days trying to think of Kuro's profile. Sera's was just a few hours.
I already like their names, a pair named "Black" in japanese and italian And also nice dynamic there, Kuro as the brains and Sera as the magical brawn (and at Sera's one track mind, somehow I can relate )

Spoiler for ...They have WHAT?!?:
A few months have passed since Mabiko accepted the job. To her suprise, she was posted in Hayate's new Riot Force 6 after initial magic level scans roughly placed her at a Natural A rank. Her arrival was not unannounced as she was met with some familiar faces as well as some new ones at the landing pad. Poor Zafira seemed to get the short end of the stick as ended up in charge of keeping all 5 sisters in line while Mabiko was out on missions or busy. However, Mabiko sensed her family's restlessness and talked with Shari about something. Soon the day of unveiling arrived. Hayate, Zaphira, and Signum were present along with Shari as Mabiko brought her 5 charges in.
Mabiko: You five have only been born 5 months and you're already causing trouble?
Mikoto: It's all Erika's fault, okaa-san. She's dragging us into explorin-
Mabiko: No excuses. Now do you know why we're here today?
Feena: If it isn't to reprimand us, okaa-sama, then I think we don't have any idea.
Mabiko: I have heard from Zaphira on how much you like to hear mission recounts. And I managed to get some paperwork filed through Hayate.
Leticia: Does that mean...
Mabiko: You will be joining me in the field once Zaphira has run you through combat training.
Erika: Finally! I was just thinking how bored it'd be now that I've basically been everywhere.
Mabiko: However, given your current sizes, that won't be happening, but I figure it's time to give you this.
Yuuki: Eh?
Reaching down and tying a pendant to each one, Mabiko then motioned for them to stand in the open area of the room.
Mabiko: Now look within yourselves and feel the new connection. Find the words to access the new connection within your heart.
Erika: Jyouketsu na honoo wa kono chi ni nagare.(Flames of purification flowing in my blood) Sono chikara de aku wo tataku.(Using this power to Strike evil) Comet Buster, Ignition!
Leticia: Kaze wo kiiteru no mama de.(Only listening to the great wind) Donna jyoukyou demo uketomete.(Being able to stop all situations) Comet Guider, Engage!
Feena: Atsui Tamashii ni chiisana karada.(A burning soul within a small body) Koutetsu no toushi de mirai wo michibiku.(Guided towards the future with steeled fighting spirit) Comet Core, Activate!
Mikoto: Seinaru shimei wo ukete. (Accepting the holy directive) Mizu no shizuku no you ni nagarete. (Flowing like a trickle of water) Comet Striker, Start Up!
Yuuki: Inochi wo kakureru daichi. (Life hidden within the earth) Subete no kizuna wo musuberu. (Forging all bonds) Comet Crasher, Go!
Five flashes of light later, the five foxes had the appearance 15 year old girls with fox ears and tail.
Zaphira: Hrm...looks like the training zone will be active for a while.
Erika's uniform was bright blood red, accentuating her waist-length blond hair and blue eyes while her right arm was completely armored up to the shoulder with the same armor used in Eisenfach. The same visor that Mabiko used is strapped around her eyes as the left side bears Mabiko's personal crest marked with a 2.
Feena was next, a silvery uniform from body to toe, matching her silver hair that framed her emerald green eyes, as 4 orbs shone from their imbedded places in both gauntlets, the center of the waist armor and the center of the breast plate. a Matching visor is sported with a 3 on the crest.
Mikoto was the mirror image of Erika, sporting the armor on the left side instead with a aquamarine blue uniform match her eyes while her ruby hair was tied in a high ponytail. Her visor was marked with a 4.
Leticiia was next, her emerald green uniform completely covering her while a full breastplate and facemask rounds out her armor. Her sapphire eyes peirce through the visor as her blonde high ponytail hangs the waist-length hair up a notch. On her visor side was marked a 5.
Yuuki was last, but still impressive with her ponytailed chocolate brown hair and blue eyes. Her Brown uniform covered her body to toe, her waist, legs, and feet completely covered in armor while she sported a visor with the side marked with a 6.
Mabiko: Kidou Rokka Dokuritsu Butai Skyfox, Shuugou!(Riot Force 6 Independent Team Skyfox, Assembled) Report to Zaphira for training exercise starting tomorrow. You have the rest of the day to familiarize yourself with your new humanoid forms. Go ahead and deactivate your devices. You will still retain your humanoid form, as it is you and not the device that is the source of this form. Ganbatte ne, atashi no taisetsuna musume-tachi.(Go for it, my precious daughters) Dismissed.
As Mabiko got fox-piled by her daughters, Hayate looked on with a slight bittersweet smile.
Hayate: She's straining herself.
Signum: Aruji?
Shari: She's hiding it , but Mabiko's linker core is being heavily taxed not only by both of her devices, but supporting 5 familiars and their own devices. At this rate, she might end up like-
Hayate: Not another word, Shari. I have seen Mabiko-chan in action before the creation of her new family though. She won't fall easily, but chances of her having the same circumstances are much higher since she works solo. The love for family pushes her to prepare them if the time ever came that they would be without her...
Zaphira: Anyways, I'm going to have Nanoha take a look at this training regimen.
Hayate: ...Mabiko-chan, just what is the nature of your lost logia...
Somehow, I was more expecting "Kitsune Sentai MabikoRanger", but that's just me Good thing Mabiko's a female, or we'd have a harem on our hands... wait a minute, there is Zafira... And somehow, the word "fox-piled" made me grin uncontrollably, especially with the image of these girls Hoping to see more of the Kitsune Musume, aka Skyfox in the future.

Spoiler for Introduction - Part 1:
Part 1: Introduction - Dr. Scaglietti’s Log
~open log
How interesting.
What do they think they are, trying to start a war against the Time-Space Administration Bureau?
No matter. They are still my clients and this will prove to be quite the opportunity to test my newest creations. They are paying well, after all... Huh? Who is it?
Green-haired Woman: Doctor, here are the five chosen subjects for the next experiment. Scaglietti: Ah, let me see them...
Scaglietti: Hmm, again four girls and one boy. Woman: Yes, I think we can safely assume from now on that girls have better compatibilities with Relics. Here is the first one.
Code Name: LRW #59: Aeolos
Real Name: Iris (Last Name unknown)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Origin: 56th Non-Administrative World
- Found when she was 2 years old. Raised in Research Facility #34
- Compatible with Relics #24 (87%), #52 (54%), #28 (45%)
Woman: This girl has excellent potential with Relic #24. Scaglietti: Which Relic is this? Woman: It is a wind elemental Relic. It was found a couple of years ago lifting a whole city in Unidentified Planet #12. We assume that the Relic can also control gravity, but all tests in that matter have failed so far. Scaglietti: 87% is a good percentage. Lets see the next one.
Code Name: LRW #60: Rhadamanthys
Real Name: Natalia Lanster
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Origin World: none
- Clone. Raised in Research Facility #34
- Compatible with Relics #66 (85%), #53 (42%), #36 (29%)
Scaglietti: *shocked* Relic #66? Rhadamanthys? Are you sure? Woman: Yes, we were also surprised. Scaglietti: One of the most unstable Relics we have found so far... one that is said to contain a living creature. Rhadamanthys, the "Judge of the Underworld"... how fitting. This will certainly be interesting to see.
Code Name: LRW #61: Gaia
Real Name: Doesn’t have one
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Origin: Research Facility #34
- Genetically enhanced
- Compatible with Relics #15 (88%), #26 (85%), #52 (83%), more>
Scaglietti: No wonder this boy made it out of the Relic compatibility tests. Woman: Yes. He was specifically created to be compatible with Relic #15. Scaglietti: Ah, I remember now. An earth elemental Relic with the enough power to shake an entire continent... But 88%? Is that the best he could have done? Woman: Our tests do not go much further. Only once have we attained 90% compatibility. What are more interesting are his high compatibilities with other Relics as well. Scaglietti: Hmhmhm... This is most exciting. In the future I'll definitely have to try to fuse two Relics. Woman: But Dr.! Such thing would be too dangero-- Scaglietti: Don't worry, I know the risks. Continue.
*The woman calms down a bit... and continues*
Code Name: LRW#62: Amphitrite #2
Real Name: Ashelyn Miter
Gender: Female
Age: 11
Origin: 84th Non-Administrated World
- Raised in Research Facility #34
- Compatible with Relic #58 (79%)
Scaglietti: 79%? Don’t we have a better Relic for this girl? Woman: Our client specifically wanted to use these five kids, so we have no other choice. Moreover, they wanted a well-rounded group so they could control Land, Sea, and Air. Scaglietti: I don't like it very much, but proceed.
Code Name: LRW#63: Gwendolyn
Real Name: Sarah Alicia Lushien
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Origin: Mid-Childa
- Found when she was 4 years old. Raised in Research Facility #34
- Compatible with Relics #60 (96%), #49 (81%), #55 (73%)
Scaglietti: 96%?! That's incredible. Woman: This is the highest compatibility level we have ever reached. And the results are constant. Scaglietti: She can probably be as powerful as Lutecia. What are the specs of Relic #60? Woman: So far our tests have not uncovered any abnormal powers or capabilities... Only that... Scaglietti: Only what? Woman: Apparently this Relic has unlimited energy... In theory, if it acts as a Linker Core, the user would never run out of stamina. Scaglietti: An unlimited source of energy... Why havent it been used as a power source for our experiments? Woman: While we have run various tests, we still cannot find a way to extract and use its power. Scaglietti: Well, that's not surprising. Anyway, lets proceed as planned. Woman: Understood.
…Gwendolyn, huh? I am must lucky. I will be able to see her growth alongside Lutecia's.
Natalia: Wow, the TSAB sure is serious. They even brought a floating battleship. Iris: Flying! Not floating... Natalia: That's the same thing! Iris: You make it sound so cheesy... Rhea: And what is this weird encampment? Gwendolyn: This is one of Yokera’s primary trading routes. No wonder why they asked us to defend it. Natalia: Bleh, I don’t like this desert already… there is…sand…*bleh* all over the place… Ashelyn: Ahaha~ I think this place is fun~ Rhea: Yeah, first time we come to a place like this. Iris: Alright, let’s get this over with. I’ll take care of the flying battleship. Gwendolyn: OK. Rhea, can I count on you to disable their land forces? Rhea: Leave it to me! Gwendolyn: Thank you. *kind smile* Rhea: *blushes* N-no need to thank me, Gwendolyn-san. Gwendolyn: Ashelyn and Lily, please support Rhea. I will go with Iris. Ashelyn: OK! Natalia: Ack! I told you not to call me Lily! Gwendolyn: *giggles* Don’t go on your own this time, Natalia. Natalia: … Do you still don’t trust me? Gwendolyn: That’s not it. I trust every one of you the same. I just don’t think your powers will be needed in this battle. …Your Relic is the most powerful of our five, but also one that has yet to be controlled by anyone. I believe you can—no, I know you can master it. But you have to be patient. Natalia: … Ashelyn: Don’t worry, Gwen-chan! I will keep an eye on Lily. *giggles while looking at Natalia* Natalia: *mad* *grabs Ashelyn and starts tickling her* Ashelyn: Aah~ Let me go! Gwendolyn: OK, let’s go, everyone!
Natalia: Iris… come here. Iris: Hm? Natalia: *whispers* Don’t let Gwendolyn kill anyone, OK? Iris: *smiles* Yeah. Don’t worry, I will kill them all before they get to her. And you do the same with Ashelyn. Natalia: Of course. Rhea, you, and I are all we need to finish the job.
Gwendolyn: Hey, we will leave you two behind! Natalia: Ah! We’re coming.
The TSAB was indeed serious about shutting down the encampment. Their ground forces were numerous, with tanks, mobile artillery and ground mages. And the air support included a flying battleship of great proportions. While they would have easily accomplished their goals, they did not predict the impossible.
Iris: That battleship is huge. It must be their mobile headquarters. Gwendolyn: Yes. If we disable it, the battle will be over. Iris: Gwen, stand back a little. Gwendolyn: Alright. Do you want a power enchantment? Iris: No, I want to do this myself.
Iris closes her eyes and a greatly deformed Mid-Childan-like blue magic circle was summoned beneath her feet. As she opens her eyes, Iris extends her right arm and points at the huge battleship in front of her. And only with her pure will power, the atmospheric pressure of the area around the battleship started going up exponentially.
Flight command 1: Commander! Something is not right. The atmospheric pressure is rising... and fast! We’re losing altitude! Flight command 2: We’re also losing control of the ship! Commander: What is going on? …Ugh--!
With her eyes now glowing navy blue, she slowly moves her right arm downwards. With just a simple movement of her arm, the air around the ship unconditionally moved in the desired direction. Because of the sudden change in air pressure, a couple of tornados were formed in the vicinity.
Iris: J-just a bit more… It’s too big; I will have to increase the pressure… Gwendolyn: Don’t push yourself too hard or—
At that moment, Iris lost some of the control over the tremendous power she was trying to command. The sudden fluctuation of pressure in the area around the ship caused an electro-magnetic explosion that disabled the ship and all the mobile vehicles in the area.
Iris: A—Ahh~! Damn you... I will... control you... Gwendolyn: Leucosia! Leucosia: Enchanter Field: Magic Limiter
This time a perfect Mid-Childan magic circle was summoned. This time, it was white. Gwendolyn imbues Iris with a magic field that limited the output of the relic’s power. Thanks to Gwendolyn's incredible amount of energy and magic control, her enchantment was able to stop Iris' magic outburst.
Leucosia: Enchanter Field: Magic Control
Because of Gwendolyn’s apparently unlimited source of energy, she is able to sustain more than one field enchantment at the same time.
Iris: *pants pants* Gwendolyn: Are you OK? Iris: Y-yes, thank you. I'm in control now. Gwendolyn: *giggles* You almost had it. Next time I'm sure you will do a lot better. Iris: ... Gwendolyn: What is it? Iris: ...I just keep thinking... If it wasn’t for you, we would all be dead by now. Gwendolyn: ...
As Gwendolyn was lost in thought, a very powerful earthquake erupted. The earthquake opened a huge crater below the ground force’s tanks and mobile artillery, disabling most of them.
Iris: I see Rhea did not have any trouble over there. Gwendolyn: Yeah... Iris: Gwen. Gwendolyn: Hm? Iris: Thank you. Gwendolyn: *blushes* F-For what? Iris: *smiles* For looking out for us. But let me tell you one thing. Gwendolyn: ... Iris: We won’t let these relics control us. We won’t die. Trust us. Gwendolyn: B-but... I do! Iris: We all may not have anywhere to go, anything to look for, or any place we can call home, but... *looks at Gwendolyn* Gwendolyn: ... Iris: We have someone to go back to. *smiles* Gwendolyn: ...
Tears stared to roll down. Tears of relief, as she now knows that her new powers can be useful to those she cares for. Tears of joy, as she is finally part of something special.
Gwendolyn blushed and tried to hold the tears up.
Iris: *smiles* Come; let’s get out of here before they find us. Gwendolyn: ... Uh-huh...
The five reunited after a successful mission. They were then sent back to Research Facility #34 in Mid-Childa, where Dr. Scaglietti was waiting to check out the newest results.
Spoiler for Introduction - Part 3:
Part 3: A Step Forward
*Mid-Childa
*Inside secret Research Facility #34
Natalia: *pants pants*
Iris: Hey, Lily, you’re still trying to pull that off? Natalia: Iris, Ashelyn… Hm! Shut up, Iris. I know this can be done. Ashelyn: Your Relic is still unstable… maybe you should rest a little before— Natalia: *pats Ashelyn on the head with a smile and giggles* You sure worry too much. But don’t; I will control this thing no matter what. Ashelyn: *blushes* Ah! Those wounds… let me take care of them. Natalia: … Ok… Say, where are Gwendolyn and Rhea? Iris: Scaglietti asked Gwen to go see him personally. Apparently something happened. Natalia: I see. Soon we will leave this place and we will be used as weapons again, huh? Iris: … Ashelyn: … Natalia: Oh well, at least its better than staying inside those damn tubes. Gwendolyn: We won’t be used as weapons anymore. Everyone: Gwen!
Gwendolyn: …And that is the situation. Iris: Heh. That Administration Bureau is not as ignorant as I thought. Natalia: Idiot, you thought they wouldn’t notice? That company—eh—what was the name… Joker?—well, doesn’t matter anymore… That company has been gathering all kinds of weapons and spaceships for the last few years. They even had enough wealth to hire us! Gwendolyn: Their mistake was to try and smuggle those Relics here in Mid-Childa. I heard the TSAB now has a special unit dedicated to track down Relics. Iris: That’s very interesting. I wonder what kind of mages they have. Rhea: No matter who they have, they are no match for us. Natalia: Heheh. When we fight them we will kno—Wait. What’s our new mission anyway? Gwendolyn: *smiles* We won’t have any more missions. Ashelyn: … What will we do now then? Rhea: The Dr. told us that we can leave the facility and do whatever we want! Natalia: What? That sounds way too suspicious. What did he create us for then? Gwendolyn: His only objective is to research and study our growth. Iris: Heh. That dirty old man. Ashelyn: We are… free… then? Gwendolyn: Lutecia went out to search for something important to her. Do any of you have something you would like to do?
As they looked at each other, they noticed how similar they were. They had nothing outside the facility walls. They only had themselves.
Ashelyn: I… I just don’t want to be separated from you all. Rhea: I have nowhere else to go… since I was created here… Natalia: Rhea! We told you not to talk like that! Ashelyn: Yeah! It doesn’t matter if you were created; you’re still a living person like any of us! Rhea: … Sorry. Iris: Gwen, how about you, I can tell you have something in mind. Gwendolyn: Well, yes. I am going to hunt down all the Relics I can. Iris: Relics? Why would you need those? Gwendolyn: I made a pact with Dr. Scaglietti. If I bring him a Relic, he will use it on another of our friends, and free them. Natalia: Wait, why don’t we just destroy this damn facility and save everyone? Gwendolyn: Their bodies will not survive outside of those capsules for long. Ashelyn: But the process can go wrong and they could die! We are very lucky to still be alive. Rhea: … I heard from some of the people here… that they would rather die than stay inside those capsules… Gwendolyn: … Ashelyn: … Natalia: … Iris: … Natalia: Then, it’s settled. Let’s do this. Gwendolyn: Wait, you don’t have to do this. It is very risky. We will most likely have to fight against the TSAB! Natalia: What are you talking about; we are friends, aren’t we? Rhea: I will follow you anywhere you go! Ashelyn: Yes! Let’s go together! Iris: I guess we have no other choice but to follow you, then. You can’t possibly fight against the TSAB alone. Gwendolyn: You guys…
Next time: The character profiles, and Part 4: "The Inevitable Encounter" (working title). I hope you like it.
Nice job Erio! Really nice stuff you got here. Is it me or is Spaghetti getting more and more annoying? Those girls act pretty much like any other girl would, except they got picked up by the wrong guy -_-. Wonder what will happen to them next chapter...
Oh, can we use them in the combined fic? It would be very interesting if we could.
After checking most of the characters created so far, I see we are missing some antagonists. So here I go with my newest project. Yes, project, as I have here five new characters.
But first, here is Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the introduction to them.

Natalia: Iris… come here. Iris: Hm? Natalia: *whispers* Don’t let Gwendolyn kill anyone, OK? Iris: *smiles* Yeah. Don’t worry, I will kill them all before they get to her. And you do the same with Ashelyn. Natalia: Of course. Rhea, you, and I are all we need to finish the job.
Gwendolyn: Hey, we will leave you two behind! Natalia: Ah! We’re coming.
The TSAB was indeed serious about shutting down the encampment. Their ground forces were numerous, with tanks, mobile artillery and ground mages. And the air support included a flying battleship of great proportions. While they would have easily accomplished their goals, they did not predict the impossible.
Iris: That battleship is huge. It must be their mobile headquarters. Gwendolyn: Yes. If we disable it, the battle will be over. Iris: Gwen, stand back a little. Gwendolyn: Alright. Do you want a power enchantment? Iris: No, I want to do this myself.
Iris closes her eyes and a greatly deformed Mid-Childan-like blue magic circle was summoned beneath her feet. As she opens her eyes, Iris extends her right arm and points at the huge battleship in front of her. And only with her pure will power, the atmospheric pressure of the area around the battleship started going up exponentially.
Flight command 1: Commander! Something is not right. The atmospheric pressure is rising... and fast! We’re losing altitude! Flight command 2: We’re also losing control of the ship! Commander: What is going on? …Ugh--!
With her eyes now glowing navy blue, she slowly moves her right arm downwards. With just a simple movement of her arm, the air around the ship unconditionally moved in the desired direction. Because of the sudden change in air pressure, a couple of tornados were formed in the vicinity.
Iris: J-just a bit more… It’s too big; I will have to increase the pressure… Gwendolyn: Don’t push yourself too hard or—
At that moment, Iris lost some of the control over the tremendous power she was trying to command. The sudden fluctuation of pressure in the area around the ship caused an electro-magnetic explosion that disabled the ship and all the mobile vehicles in the area.
Iris: A—Ahh~! Damn you... I will... control you... Gwendolyn: Leucosia! Leucosia: Enchanter Field: Magic Limiter
This time a perfect Mid-Childan magic circle was summoned. This time, it was white. Gwendolyn imbues Iris with a magic field that limited the output of the relic’s power. Thanks to Gwendolyn's incredible amount of energy and magic control, her enchantment was able to stop Iris' magic outburst.
Leucosia: Enchanter Field: Magic Control
Because of Gwendolyn’s apparently unlimited source of energy, she is able to sustain more than one field enchantment at the same time.
Iris: *pants pants* Gwendolyn: Are you OK? Iris: Y-yes, thank you. I'm in control now. Gwendolyn: *giggles* You almost had it. Next time I'm sure you will do a lot better. Iris: ... Gwendolyn: What is it? Iris: ...I just keep thinking... If it wasn’t for you, we would all be dead by now. Gwendolyn: ...
As Gwendolyn was lost in thought, a very powerful earthquake erupted. The earthquake opened a huge crater below the ground force’s tanks and mobile artillery, disabling most of them.
Iris: I see Rhea did not have any trouble over there. Gwendolyn: Yeah... Iris: Gwen. Gwendolyn: Hm? Iris: Thank you. Gwendolyn: *blushes* F-For what? Iris: *smiles* For looking out for us. But let me tell you one thing. Gwendolyn: ... Iris: We won’t let these relics control us. We won’t die. Trust us. Gwendolyn: B-but... I do! Iris: We all may not have anywhere to go, anything to look for, or any place we can call home, but... *looks at Gwendolyn* Gwendolyn: ... Iris: We have someone to go back to. *smiles* Gwendolyn: ...
Tears stared to roll down. Tears of relief, as she now knows that her new powers can be useful to those she cares for. Tears of joy, as she is finally part of something special.
Gwendolyn blushed and tried to hold the tears up.
Iris: *smiles* Come; let’s get out of here before they find us. Gwendolyn: ... Uh-huh...
The five reunited after a successful mission. They were then sent back to Research Facility #34 in Mid-Childa, where Dr. Scaglietti was waiting to check out the newest results.
Spoiler for Introduction - Part 3:
Part 3: A Step Forward
*Mid-Childa
*Inside secret Research Facility #34
Natalia: *pants pants*
Iris: Hey, Lily, you’re still trying to pull that off? Natalia: Iris, Ashelyn… Hm! Shut up, Iris. I know this can be done. Ashelyn: Your Relic is still unstable… maybe you should rest a little before— Natalia: *pats Ashelyn on the head with a smile and giggles* You sure worry too much. But don’t; I will control this thing no matter what. Ashelyn: *blushes* Ah! Those wounds… let me take care of them. Natalia: … Ok… Say, where are Gwendolyn and Rhea? Iris: Scaglietti asked Gwen to go see him personally. Apparently something happened. Natalia: I see. Soon we will leave this place and we will be used as weapons again, huh? Iris: … Ashelyn: … Natalia: Oh well, at least its better than staying inside those damn tubes. Gwendolyn: We won’t be used as weapons anymore. Everyone: Gwen!
Gwendolyn: …And that is the situation. Iris: Heh. That Administration Bureau is not as ignorant as I thought. Natalia: Idiot, you thought they wouldn’t notice? That company—eh—what was the name… Joker?—well, doesn’t matter anymore… That company has been gathering all kinds of weapons and spaceships for the last few years. They even had enough wealth to hire us! Gwendolyn: Their mistake was to try and smuggle those Relics here in Mid-Childa. I heard the TSAB now has a special unit dedicated to track down Relics. Iris: That’s very interesting. I wonder what kind of mages they have. Rhea: No matter who they have, they are no match for us. Natalia: Heheh. When we fight them we will kno—Wait. What’s our new mission anyway? Gwendolyn: *smiles* We won’t have any more missions. Ashelyn: … What will we do now then? Rhea: The Dr. told us that we can leave the facility and do whatever we want! Natalia: What? That sounds way too suspicious. What did he create us for then? Gwendolyn: His only objective is to research and study our growth. Iris: Heh. That dirty old man. Ashelyn: We are… free… then? Gwendolyn: Lutecia went out to search for something important to her. Do any of you have something you would like to do?
As they looked at each other, they noticed how similar they were. They had nothing outside the facility walls. They only had themselves.
Ashelyn: I… I just don’t want to be separated from you all. Rhea: I have nowhere else to go… since I was created here… Natalia: Rhea! We told you not to talk like that! Ashelyn: Yeah! It doesn’t matter if you were created; you’re still a living person like any of us! Rhea: … Sorry. Iris: Gwen, how about you, I can tell you have something in mind. Gwendolyn: Well, yes. I am going to hunt down all the Relics I can. Iris: Relics? Why would you need those? Gwendolyn: I made a pact with Dr. Scaglietti. If I bring him a Relic, he will use it on another of our friends, and free them. Natalia: Wait, why don’t we just destroy this damn facility and save everyone? Gwendolyn: Their bodies will not survive outside of those capsules for long. Ashelyn: But the process can go wrong and they could die! We are very lucky to still be alive. Rhea: … I heard from some of the people here… that they would rather die than stay inside those capsules… Gwendolyn: … Ashelyn: … Natalia: … Iris: … Natalia: Then, it’s settled. Let’s do this. Gwendolyn: Wait, you don’t have to do this. It is very risky. We will most likely have to fight against the TSAB! Natalia: What are you talking about; we are friends, aren’t we? Rhea: I will follow you anywhere you go! Ashelyn: Yes! Let’s go together! Iris: I guess we have no other choice but to follow you, then. You can’t possibly fight against the TSAB alone. Gwendolyn: You guys…
Next time: The character profiles, and Part 4: "The Inevitable Encounter" (working title). I hope you like it.
*applauds*
Awesome, not only for Scaglietti, but for giving us these likable "villains" as well (love their interactions ).
Although I'm a bit iffy on their premise... if Scaglietti's true methods are suddenly revealed in StrikerS, these poor girls (and one boy) will have their premise bulldozed by canon
A nitpic though... Are Gaia and Rhea the same person? Because I didn't see Rhea's profile in the first part
Nice profile there, will be looking forward to Part IV
@ Meophist: That is a very good coincidence then.
Wait a sec... *double checks*
Actually, Sera means "evening" in Italian, must've gotten my blacks confused. (since evening does conjure up images of black) Still, it's a nice naming coincidence though.
For reference, "Nera" (or "Nero" )would be italian for black.

Actually "Sera" means evening. "Buona Sera" = "Good Evening". Lowe must have gotten confused
I was yes. Since I had previously used the term in a defunct character named Sera Noir (I wanted it to very roughly translate to "Black Evening", using two different languages). Guess the darkness stuck more

She's gonna get strained like Nanoha eight years ago.
That is a very good coincidence then.
