My version of FemIchika doesn't think with her heart. Well sort of not. She just does what she thinks she has to do at that time.

EDIT: She's also a lot more cruel than Ichika when pissed off

[Eratas123]

So....she's sort of a bitch?

[demino_hellsin]

I prefer to say she's over the top. She's kind of like charlotte when angry. Only very vocal about it. Not to mention hands on... though she has almost no capability to follow through on threats, she somehow always does them as if she always could... :| played mostly for laughs haha

A Mysterious exoskeleton unit secured around the same time as mysterious I.S.-like entities attacked. It was apparent that the pilot has no hostile intention, however because the lack identification, I.S.A. decided to secure the unit and it's pilot for further inspection.

As the machine rendered inoperable due to the lack of substance called Nanoskin, only data provided by the pilot and from it's recorded sortie against attacking unmanned I.S. can be relied on.

The unit itself has maneuverability surpassing any I.S. recorded up to date in spite of inferior power output, further, it was capable to transform between humanoid "Attacker" form and avian "Glider" form, switching between flexibility and mobility in less than three second.

However, it has nonexistent defensive mechanism, laking both armor and protective barrier. The pilot claimed that nanoskin provided the protection required for the pilot from high-g and air resistance, as well as enemy weaponry and various kind of hazard that he might encounter in the battlefield.

It's total firepower is at best mediocre, barely enough to defeat I.S. with low-to moderate defense.

Fragile Speedster ahoy.

[demino_hellsin]

not really. Sounds like it can take hits and dodge them but not dish them out.

[ZeroXSEED]

1. It has firepower comparable to well-balanced I.S., meaning it can dish it out for sure. (Though the weapon selection pool is tiny, I admit)
2. It can transform between two modes, allowing higher mobility level than I.S. (but has inferior acceleration)
3. It doesn't have armor and is dependent on advanced gel-like substance (nanoskin) for pilot protection and operation, that last 21 minutes even without taking hits, and quicker if it receive any damage. Meaning it has even dinkier endurance than ByakuShiki.

Of course, in Canon, Sonic Diver are armed with conventional (if advanced) weapon, rather than I.S.-like Overpowered guns, I have to adjust it accordingly

[demino_hellsin]

2nd gen IS weapons are normally scaled large caliber conventional firearms. It's the 3rd and 4th gen that go into the sci-fi generation.

The only IS known thus far that's preceding 2nd gen with energy weapons is White Knight and that was built by Tabane herself. At least, that's how I perceive the development history of IS in canon universe.

[ZeroXSEED]

Yeah, I Imagine the pistol would be much more powerful than I.S. SMG (Compare 44 Magnum and 9mm), but with much lower capacity. The Folding cannon would be classified as medium-heavy weapon (more than rifle but less than cannon).

High Voltage sword would be banned in tournament fight, but will easily pierce barrier with constant exposure (it has the weight of physical blade and limited plasma properties of beam sword). And the plasma claw is self explanatory....

[Eratas123]

Back to the techwank?

[ZeroXSEED]

Yeah, kinda. Discussing AU!Ichika's unit here.

[demino_hellsin]

I agree the sword would be banned, but by itself it wouldn't really harm the IS, instead directly the pilot.

Over-all, I still think it doesn't pack the same punch as top tier IS. I mean the Revive is already prettywell-armed with similarly conventional weaponry and it requires a lot of pounding before it can smash through an IS shield.

[ZeroXSEED]

Okay then, let me get the final result

G2J2 Shinden = 2.5/5 for Gunfight, 4/5 for melee, 6/5 for mobility, and 1.5/5 for defense (With barrier refit)

Rafael Revive Custom 2 = 4/5 for Gunfight 3/5 for melee, 4.5/5 for Mobility, and 3.5/5 for defense. Special Packet "garden Curtain" add 1.5 for defense, 0.5 for Gunfight and -1.5 for mobility

[demino_hellsin]

I approve of that rating!

The sonic diver really suits Ichika because it'll probably rely on its sword most of the time. Though the shooting weapons are useful I doubt they'd see much use since it'd be inefficient for combat. It'd be for engaging soft units and such.

[ZeroXSEED]

Of course, he later get touch of Yukihira and... well, you know. He'll turn into Glass Ninja.

Even with Shield generator kit took from wrecked I.S. frame, it's still has much inferior defense, at least it's operational time can be improved.

EDIT: And we still conflicted to choose between Self-cest and crossover ship, sigh

[demino_hellsin]

... I think I have an idea that you might find interesting and yet repulsively cliche

[ZeroXSEED]

Feel free to share, this is a forum after all

[demino_hellsin]

When he gets Yukihira, its power source must be extremely powerful to cut through IS shields. So instead of integrating it, they kinda just strap it on the diver. The power souirce in this case is small energy capsules collected from IS cores AKA akatsubaki. kinda like e-caps. one e-cap = a few seconds of use of Yukihira pending on power output. On max maybe 0.5 seconds? More rule of cool than sake of usefulness. Just that it seems kind of appropriate as well considering the situation of their mecha.

[Eratas123]

Why not make a self cest and crossover ship love triangle?

[ZeroXSEED]

I.S. grade batteries that could only be charged by other I.S., like how E-CAP can only be charged by Minovsky generator...

DEMI! YOU GENIUS!

*get it on the note*

@ Eras

I'll try to talk about it to Sis, every Idea is worth a try.

[Eratas123]

Then again, you need a reason as to why fem!Ichika likes him and vice versa. If I met an opposite of me, I'd treat her like a sister.
