Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Character Creation and Discussion

[AdmiralTigerclaw]

Thanks for all the delicious info Goose. It's really useful.

Anywho, I was actually enroute to petSMart when it hit me that I was going about assigning my Rank system all wrong. What I need to do right now is assign the effect as per how it should be viewed, and then let the assignment of rank based on estimated common obvervation, rather than half-guessing at power ranks and then going "Oh it's __ rank" or something.


So in that light, I'll throw in the following data.

Spoiler for Data:

Armor Defense Rating: *Apply matching magical attack power to real life examples.*
Functional up to impact of .50 cal anti material round from a fifty
Magical defense bonus of survival of non-direct hit of directed high explosive device.
Armor 80% mission kill failure with direct hits from non-directional high explosive weapon. But survivable.
Armor terminated with direct hit from kinetic energy impactor (120mm APFSDS round.), or directional charge high explosive. Fatal injuries 99%

Air Transit:
Maximum Sprint: MACH .8 standard flight mode; MACH 3.5 Supercruise configuration.
**Maximum Sprint denotes level flight at top speed with no complicating manuevers. Supercruise denotes all power shunted to velocity only. Amor mass and shape is not an issue for speed due to lack of manuevers and functional aerodynamics barrier.


Maximum Safe Turn (Ground Armor): 3 Gs (No G-force management.) 5 Gs (G-Force Management.)
Maximum Safe Turn (Air Superiority Configuration): 6 Gs maybe seven (No G-Force Management) 11 Gs (G-force Management)
** G force tolerance actually varies from person to person. However lower mass provides better function at higher G forces. G-force management is magically enhanced ability to withstand high G-operations on both physical armor stress, and internal body stresses of the operator. (Which explains why the near glass like frame of Fate can handle those insane snap manuevers when one stops to think about it.)


Attack ratings:

Rifle Configuration:
- Single fire: ~ equal to a fifty calibur HMG round.
- Automatic Fire: ~ equal to a 7.62 mm round.
--Projectile speeds are comproble to real bullet counterparts.--

LANCE Rifle Configuration: (Comparable energy delivery.)
- No auxilary charge: 25mm HEAP round
- Single Cartridge: M-203 (40mm) HE grenade round.

- WARNING - : High Energy Management Note:
- Maximum load and charge time. Energy of KE Penetraitor from M1A1 120 mm smoothbore APFSDS round. (Actual penetrator size is 22 mm.)
**All shot power levels can be aimed at targets up to 20 km away and travel at supersonic velocity. All shots are unguided and cannot be recalled once released. All shots are composed of high energy charged ion packets encased in magical containment barriers until impact. Technically making the Lance Rifle a magic powered Ion Cannon.

Cerberus DF:
Gatling Autocannon: 20 rounds/sec with energy delivery of 5.56 mm NATO round at a range of eight hundred meters. No accuracy however at any range greater than immediate combat range.

Bloodhound Breaker:
- Delivery of destructive force equal to M-67 fragmentation grenade. Max Homing and chasing range of Five thousand meters. Reletive launch velocity of 300 m/s

Spectre Barrage:
- WARNING - : High energy management note.
- Delivers repeated strikes equal to a BOFORS 40 mm cannon. Sustained fire of two rounds per 1.5 second interval for maximum of fifteen seconds before recharge/rest is required.

METEOR SHOWER:
- WARNING - : Extreme High Energy Management Note!
- Delivers MIRV Indirect fire strike with submunition rounds equal in force to 105 mm, 40 lb artillery round. Maximum MIRV of six round split.
** MIRV stands for Multiple Intercept Reentry Vehicle, which is just a fancy way of saying one shot splits into several that can go for different targets. Although in this case, all shots are unguided.


HIGH ENERGY NOTE: Excersize caution with use, and/or repeated use of this level of energy management. Suggest ample rest time between shots, or limited use altogether outside of special emergency situations.

EXTREME HIGH ENERGY NOTE: Excersize restraint of use in all but pretty much special order situations, as well as ample rest time and/or retreat from the engagement scenario after use.


Okay, maybe now we can assign a rank to it all. Those are pretty much how I imagine they should be in terms of effect, rather than just throwing ranks at it.

I'm gonna' get ready for bed.

Sometimes I feel somewhat fortunate that I don't have to worry about needing to have my characters overpower opponents, and instead I just have to worry about some obscure passage in some out-of-anime source contradicting the careful edifice of plot I have constructed.

The thing about writing all of this is that you're the writer. You can write whatever you want to. You can create a SSS-ranked mage if you really want to, because it's all only words on the screen anyway.

But apart from all the "military common sense" or "overwhelming superiority" arguments, there's really one question which overrides everything else:

Will this make a good story?

Does the mage need to be SSS-ranked (or S-ranked or A-ranked or D-ranked) in order to tell that story? Is it the absolute minimum rank needed for the plot? Why does the mage have that rank, for the meta-fictional purpose of the story?

The answer shouldn't be of the form "because logically, taking RL militaries into account", but it should be of the form "because at this point, I need the character to be able to perform this action, and that requires this rank at minimum". You're the writer: you create the character for the purpose he or she is meant to serve, and then you use all this military knowledge to explain why the character is that way.

A story is not merely made up of brief moments of superpowered characters hurling stars at each other. A story is made up of the events that will lead up to these moments of star-hurling; the climactic battles should not rest on a rickety foundation of half-hearted justifications.

There's no need to have a higher rank possibility "just in case". Why would they need that higher rank? Why does the higher rank have to be that high? If it serves no significant purpose to the story, then why have it at all? If it does, then is there any way you can reduce the rank without reducing the significance?

In other words, maybe you shouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight, but you also shouldn't use a cannon to kill a fly.

I agree with a lot of that, dk. To be honest, I tend to forget what rank I put a mage at until I look back at it (case in point; Glen was doing stuff way too powerfully for only being AA-rank, so I retconned him to AAA rank *shrug*).

Honestly, if it's well written, I don't care if we've got SSS++++++ characters running around. I'm here for a good story and to help others (and be helped in return) write a good story, and sometimes (okay, a lot of the time) throw in references to my favorite things while I'm doing it. And if a character needs to be god to do it, then by all means, go for it.

I'm gonna' get ready for bed.

That sounds pretty good. However, I'm going to agree that maybe we shouldn't be saying C-ranks and above. That final attack sounds like you'd put the C-rank in the hospital for weeks. Now, A-rank sounds a lot better.

Just some advice. If you want to keep it C, then by all means.

Okay, now my turn. I've been developing this thing for a while now and wanted to run it by you guys before I put it to paper.

Spoiler for New Barrier Jacket Armor System:

Type-G3C Barrier Jacket, Codename Ghost Armor

Spoiler for Background:

In MC0077, shortly after the JS Incident, Emili Nailo of the Order of Freelance Mages decided that the Air Wing needed a "step-up" when it came to defensive and offensive capabilities. The standard Barrier Jacket and Head-up Display Glasses weren't quite cutting it anymore; the HUD was oftentimes unreliable, and the Barrier Jackets, while flashy, weren't very capable of actual protection for the extremities, and more importantly, the head. Furthermore, except for Phoenix, Sidewinder, and Sparrow, the mass-production Storage Devices that the OFM used were becoming worn and overused, a result of poor manufacture. As a result, Air Wing mages were starting to take a hit in efficiency.

After talking it over with Erick, Emili used the OFM's contacts and networks to find people who specialized in Device manufacture and use. Two names that popped up, that were familiar to Emili, were Aurion Dauer and Shario Finieno. Aurion was busy at the time, so Emili contacted Shari, who agreed to help Emili on her little project. The two met in TSAB HQ during the Aus'ruf's rest/refit cycle, and together the two drew out the plans (with a little help from Sidewinder) for a working Storage Device that could handle the new ideas Emili had.

What Emili wanted was a bodysuit that gave maximum aerodynamic efficiency, thick magical protection, complete invisibility, a working Radar and HUD system, and had, of course, a "big gun". Given the limitations of the Storage Device AI, however, this wasn't feasible; the system mechanics of the SD couldn't handle the workload. Furthermore, the specifications were simply too much for your average A-rank to handle, let alone B-rank. Something had to be worked out, something quick and simple that wouldn't divide a mage's time too much, that wouldn't provide too much of a burden on their Linker Core, and would still be effective.

Emili found her answer, oddly enough, from Franz. An avid watcher of Earth programs (He had somehow acquired tons of it during a brief excursion to the planet), he had suggested something from a certain tokusatsu series of shows. Emili watched the show one night, and got her idea. It would definitely be something to run by.

Emili, in a fit of creative genius and wit, asked off for two-weeks leave while the ship went out on a mission to the middle of nowhere. It was granted the day of departure, and on that day, Emili and Shari locked themselves in a hole for two weeks to implement this plan.

It was fairly simple at a glance; use two Storage Devices instead of one. By using two, it cut the workload on both in half easily, as both the new Rifle-SD and the Armor-SD would run off of programs dedicated to their specific casts (in this case, shooting and protection, respectively). Of course, the problem was that this increased the workload of the mage's Linker Core, which would prove to be a problem. The answer for this was found in the Cartridge System... well, the spirit of it, anyway.

The Cartridge System revolved around using a magical burst of energy through a magic accessory to gain power rapidly in a short amount of time... but this was for offensive attacks. Shari took the idea of the CS and modified it for defensive purposes. She proposed the idea of a magical "charge", similar to a cartridge. Upon activation of the SD, the charge would activate and sustain the armor without a mage's intervention.

This was both a plus and a minus. On the plus side, this would mean that the mage would not need to sustain the armor with their own power. On the minus side, this would not allow the mage to restore the armor in the middle of a firefight, as the armor was tied to a Device that would act fairly independantly from the mage (that is, not reliant on him or her to exist). To restore the armor, the Storage Device would have to be deactivated, the charge restored, and then the Device reactivated. This would simply be impossible in a fight, when lives are on the line, and a minute could be an hour on the battlefield.

Using this concept, Emili and Shari were able to tie together Emili's ideas with the secondary Storage Device whilst using only minimal power from the Linker Core. The mage's Linker Core would provide power to the active radar system and the Heads-Up Display, which took a negligable amount of concentration to use (though to alter the radar to scan at longer ranges would require more power and concentration, and capped out at 500 meters, with the default at 25).

The rifle half of the equation would simply be a standard TSAB Storage Device, but with modern AI and a greater size limit on the kinds of spells it could cast. Essentially, they were modern variants of the S2U standard Storage Device, simply reformed into the shape of a heavy rifle. It consisted of the standard TSAB spells (Stinger Snipe, for example), and like standard Storage Devices, these operated strictly off of the mage's Linker Core. Newer SD AI's were more modular, and, given enough time in the hands of an engineer, could be fitted exactly to the user's specifications.

Emili and Shari toiled for all the two weeks they had, and by the time the ship came back, Emili and Shari had completed the first Prototype G3C, which was given to Emili, who performed tests on the Device during a mission. The Devices worked well together and worked optimally, and so Emili and Shari sent the concept and plans to the TSAB R&D, who had already been working on similar new types of Barrier Jackets. Though costly and thus limited to Special Forces units (such as certain Enforcers and the OFM Air Wing, for example), the G3C proved to be a success.

Spoiler for G3C Design:

A Sword Flight Mage pauses after killing a hostile monster.

The G3C was designed for maximum aerodynamic ability. As such, the armor is fully streamlined and skintight. Although not as thick all-around as Emili had wanted, the armor compensates by placing the most defense in key points on the body, with weaker armor covering the joints and hands and certain other areas to ensure flexibility (it functions more as a bodysuit in these areas, though noticably stronger). The helmet is full-face, thus ensuring maximum protection from hostile fire. Though the face is covered and the visor opaque, the heads-up display allows the mage to see what's going on around her. On top of the helmet are radar transmitters. Due to their position, the radar has a more accurate reflection when the mage is facing forward. The radar transmitter has good reception up to 10 meters in all directions - accuracy steadily declines from there - and the forward projection is completely accurate up to 25 meters. As such, mages are trained to "swivel" - that is, continuously look all around them.

The shoulder pads are fitted with barrier emitters, able to redirect softer attacks and small arms fire (important for the OFM mages) up to .45 caliber, and can disperse a standard offensive ranged spell enough to cause minimal damage to the armor itself (though the mage still gets to feel some of the magical damage). The emitters, while strong, are not initially connected to the mage's Linker Core. As such, they are quick to give out (tests show that the emitters can disperse one B-rank spell before dying) unless the mage powers them with her Linker Core. Since most mages do this anyway, it's not really an issue.

The blue lines and rings are an important feature, as they employ a first-generation personel cloaking device. This cloaking device does exactly as descripted: it causes the mage to vanish, save for minor light distortion whenever they move.

Finally, the spikes on the right shoulder, while seemingly serving no purpose at all, can serve as weapons in desperate situations.

The high heels, on the other hand...

Spoiler for G3C Capabilities:

General:
The G3C is one of the few General User Autonomous Barrier Jacket systems (GABJ for short) to exist. Normally, a mage must concentrate on the formation of the Barrier Jacket before it activates. Though normally a mage can forget about their Barrier Jacket after its activation, with some circles (like the OFM), which also rely on a heads-up display and radar system, along with being better protected, coupled furthermore with rapid spellcasting and extended periods of flight, can cause a wear on the mage.

Benefits to using the G3C Armor System:
The G3C takes these problems and fixes them. By using the Charge System, the armor can sustain itself for as long as it's needed. The radar and Heads-Up Display function fairly well for personal use, and the internal communications system allows for orders to be received and given quickly and easily without the need to concentrate on telepathy. Its skintight and aerodynamic properties allow a mage to fly easily (though it can get a little cold), and the material the armor is made to resemble (a mix of cloth, kevlar, and ceramic plating) is thick enough that, should the emitters go down, will still protect against magical, physical, and impact damage. The emitters, as noted before, can operate independantly for a short period of time.

The most radical and beneficial component of the suit, however, may lie in its cloaking device. With a simple thought, a mage can activate the cloaking device, becoming invisible at will. Though this comes with drawbacks (see below), it will nonetheless be quite useful. Already, Enforcers have proven its usefulness when apprehending criminal elements, as you cannot fight what you cannot see (although it's also wise not to take that expression literally).

Drawbacks to using the G3C Armor System:
First and foremost, the important thing to note is that the armor is not easy to repair, as noted earlier. Since it's formed from a separate semi-dependant Storage Device, and not formed from a mage's Linker Core, a mage doesn't have control over its restoration capabilities. Should the armor take damage (and inevitably, it will), a long and complicated process is necessary to restore the armor, one that is not easily done on the battlefield by stanard mages (note that this armor is geared toward use by B-rank and above mages, hence its versatility). On average, it takes fifteen minutes to restore and repair the armor after the Storage Device is deactivated, though higher-rank mages can do it in considerably less time (in a test, Enforcer 1st Class Fate Harlown performed the task in five).

Secondly is its semi-dependance. The armor was meant to last for prolonged engagements, thus the relaxed need of a mage to concentrate on it (indeed, due to the nature of the Device, there are only certain things that the mage can concentrate on). However, the barrier emitters do not take enough charge to matter in the long run. As such, a mage will continually need to power the emitters after they are knocked out.

Third is the cloaking device itself. Although it is extremely useful, it's really nothing more than a programmed spell in the Storage Device that is meant to activate along the emitter lines on the G3C armor. The cloaking device requires a considerable deal of power, and it's not recommended to use the spell running for longer than five minutes for your average B-rank mage, seven for A. Secondly, in the event that night-vision or infrared is available to the target, then the mage is advised to shut off the cloak. The spells emits an extremely large amount of heat signatures to the area around the mage, and so the mage becomes something of a beacon while cloaked; the total opposite of what you want when invisible. And lastly, while cloaked, a mage cannot cast any other spells, of any sort. A mage, thus, cannot fly and cloak.

Finally, and less of an issue with the armor as with the user. The G3C does not make the mage more powerful. It does not grant increased abilities, does not increase power, and does not help in any area other than defense. Some mages think it makes them more powerful, but this is false to the highest degree. The G3C armor system is designed to decrease the workload on a mage and provide better protection than the standard Barrier Jacket, not make the user superhuman.

So I'll say it again; G3C does not make a mage more powerful.

Spoiler for Armor Storage:

The G3C Armor system is stored in two parts; one is the Charge System and Activation Key, stored as something remebling a closed cell phone. To activate the armor, the mage has to open the Device (again, similar to a cell phone), type in the proper Activation Key, and have the AI confirm (it does this by saying, "Stand By") the key is correct. The second half of the Device, the AI itself, is stored in a belt the mage wears. When the devices are combined, the device says, "Ready", and the armor activates. Refer to the video below:

To deactivate the armor, the mage must use a certain phrase, usually custom to the mage (it's voice recognition, so an opponent can't simply guess the deactivation phrase).

Spoiler for Emili watched too many of Franz's shows.:

"Glen, Glen, watch this!"
"What?"

Emili half-dragged Glen into a certain part of the ship; a nice, open space, where the five mages of Lance Flight stood, waiting. Some of them, like Naomi, were smiling, and others looked nervous. "You have to watch this!"

"What is it? I have work to do..." Glen sighed, knowing he wouldn't escape Emili's iron grip (followed by Iron Will, of course). The mage had been on overdrive for the past month, it seemed, working with each of her flight's G3C suits for what seemed like an unncessary amount of time. "What's this about, Emili?"

"Just watch!" Emili said, giddy, as she and the other four mages stood in a line, with her in the center. "You know those shows that Franz is always watching?"

"Yeah..."
"Well, I got this idea. It's pretty cool! ...well, I like it, anyway." She smiled and looked at the other four girls. "Ready?"

"Ready!" The other four shouted in unison (Naomi is getting way too into this, Glen thought).

In one move, the five girls grabbed their Charge Device and flipped it open. They held out one hand in front as they typed in their activation keys. "Lance Flight!"

[Stand by.]

"Henshin! The girls shouted as one, slamming the Charge Devices with the AI Devices.

[Ready.]

As the girls drew their hands back, their transformation occured, multi-colored lines (one for each girl) spreading from the belt before flashing a bright color (the color of the lines) and revealing the five girls in their armored suits. Each one had been recolored, to fit the theme. Their cloak emitter lines reflected a color multiple shades lighter than the dark armor.

"Anna Petrov, Lance Black!" The first girl announced as her rifle formed, dropping to one knee and holding it against her shoulder with both hands.

"Chiisa Ivana, Lance Pink!" The second one yelled, twirling and holding her rifle loosely in one hand, the barrel pointing at the floor.

"Rachel Vasilie, Lance Blue!" The third girl shouted, twirling her rifle above her head once before standing sideways with the barrel pointing up.

"Naomi Jaeger, Lance Yellow!" Naomi said as Sparrow shifted into Naginata form. She twirled the Device above her head and slammed it stick-down, holding onto it with one hand and putting her other hand on her hip.

"Emili Nailo, Lance Red!" Emili finished the roll call, holding Sidewinder in Daggers Form to her sides, blades pointing backward.

"Super Sentai!" The girls shouted. "Lancenger!"

Glen... was speechless.

He opened his mouth to speak, then closed it. He half-expected a multi-colored explosion behind the girls.

"I..." he closed his mouth again. "I just have a couple questions..."
"What?" Emili stepped forward, her red armor gleaming from the glow of the cloaking emitters and the lights above.

"Are you going to do this... every time?" he asked.
"God, no!" Naomi denied. "We just did that to show off! No, most of the time it'll be pretty cut and paste... though "henshin" has a nice ring to it."

"Fair enough," Glen conceded, putting a finger to the side of his mouth. He looked up, then at Emili. "...is red the right color for you, Emili?"

"Very funny, dork," Emili teased, bopping Glen on the head.
"Hey, stop that," Glen brushed Emili away. "Okay... my final question..."

"What?"

"...Does this mean I'm the Sixth Ranger?"

[LoweGear]

FINALLY, I can attempt to break through this awesome technical backlog, which is a good read

With nothing to contribute to breaking down the exact numbers for all this tech though, all I can do is charge up and...

Spoiler for Our Mistress:

Prologue: Aftermath

Beep….Beep….Beep…

It was a sparse room, lightly furnished, designed for ease of access. A cluster of displays hovered in the air just over the centre line of the room. It didn’t matter that the information that they displayed was available elsewhere, just that those who were in charge felt more comfortable with them there. All of them had met her personally at one stage or another during their careers, a meeting that had changed them all for the better.

He entered the door closing behind him silently until it hit the wall with a muffled thud. He looked up hopefully towards the figure lying peacefully beneath the displays, wondering if there was any change. The figure showed no sign of having heard the door. ‘Well, it’s still early days after all. Given the extent of her injuries, it’s a small miracle that she’s alive at all.’

Bathed in the soft green glow of the displays, she looked a hundred times better than how she had looked when she arrived early in the morning. It was nowhere near her true condition, but the vision of her there bathed in such a glow gave him hope that the danger had passed, at least for the moment. A team of doctors and surgeons had worked for nearly half the day, even with the times where breaks had to be taken for fresh nurses to come in and take over. She was out of the worse of it, but time would tell how well she would recover. ‘And even if she does recover physically, none of us are sure whether she is going to be able to live on after what has happened.’

As he moved closer to the bed, the faint hiss of the ventilator could be heard. It was but one of a slew of devices that surrounded her. Satisfied that the devices were all functioning correctly, he doubled checked that all the catheters were firmly secured, before pulling the cover further up her body. He turned away from her after uttering a short prayer over her, heading for the door. If anyone had been watching, the glow of the devices would have revealed the tears flowing down his face.

He made sure that the door closed softly as he exited the room. ‘Time to get some rest, I’ll be glad once this night is over.’ As he made to move away from the patient’s room, a figure came around the corner.

“How is she?” they asked.

“As good as can be expected by one in her position. Better in fact. I’ve never dealt with injuries like these but some of the others have remarked that she’s a good few hours ahead of what they’ve experienced in these cases.”

The tension in the figure facing him eased considerably, “It’s going to ok right, she’d going to get better?”

He scratched the back of his head, “Well it looks good so far, I can’t make any guarantees though. Can you please get some rest now; you’re in no position yourself to be up at this hour, not with those injuries.”

“She’s going to live. No matter what. Their sacrifice is not going to be in vein.” With that they headed back in the direction of their room.

‘I hope you’re right. I really hope you do.’

****

Pain coursed through Agito’s body as she finally made it back to her room. Despite her bravado, the possibility that she wouldn’t make it was ever present in the back of her mind. While the doctor was correct that letting her body rest and recover was the best thing to do, what had happened kept playing in her mind, preventing her from getting to sleep.

We are the Wolkenritter, sworn guardians of the Mistress of the Night Sky. Death to those that attempt to harm her. Seeing that she has been hurt already, I’ll just have to make sure you have a fate worse than death.

You're probably all aware already, but don't expect updates for a little while..
Comments, flames, etc welcome.

Oh yes... death would be far too kind for the bastard who dare hurt our Princess Hayate!

DO need more please

Spoiler for John-117, Non Comissioned Officer of the Order:

*snip*.

The rest of the Armor, skills, etc will be posted later. Comments welcome.

He was AWESOME the first time around, and with this new and improved extended profile, he's transcended the mortal plain and become GODLIKE

Sorry for the long delay.

Through a non-altruistic act of saving his life, Elric turns to the dark side, understandable, but still rather sad to give in like that

And much Star Wars I sense in his final line

"Look, Major, that's not what-"

"I'm sorry Admiral, that won't cut it for me. You're saying that this is a go to hell option. Spellwork is an exacting business. You need to carefully regulate your power - you can't just dump in a shitload of power and expect the spells to work better. To get the best usage of this suit, I and my men would have to continually risk ourselves in training so as to master the power surge. I'm sorry sir, but it's not what fits our role."

"Besides," added Jack's Gunny, "We tend to specialise in fast assaults Sir, with little trace of our presence. These suits... they'll force us to use a bigger magical footprint. And don't get me started on the maintennace issues."

"Besides, who needs these things when gunny can turn water into explosives?!" yelled a more hotblooded member of the unit, and both Jack and the Gunny sighed.

"Basically, Sir, this is a good idea for an open field battle. But it's not the suit for us, since we're special ops."

"And what if you find Numbers?" asked the Admiral, and the Gunny shrugged.

"I'll just reach out and slap some demo on them, Sir."

No arguments there

Anywho, I was actually enroute to petSMart when it hit me that I was going about assigning my Rank system all wrong. What I need to do right now is assign the effect as per how it should be viewed, and then let the assignment of rank based on estimated common obvervation, rather than half-guessing at power ranks and then going "Oh it's __ rank" or something.

You're welcome, and that's what we're here in OC to do. The new guys show up, the haxbusting happens, and the concepts are rebuilt back up and then put into practice.

My attempts as follows.

Spoiler for Spoilered for lenght:

Armor Defense Rating: *Apply matching magical attack power to real life examples.*
Functional up to impact of .50 cal anti material round from a fifty
Magical defense bonus of survival of non-direct hit of directed high explosive device.
Armor 80% mission kill failure with direct hits from non-directional high explosive weapon. But survivable.
Armor terminated with direct hit from kinetic energy impactor (120mm APFSDS round.), or directional charge high explosive. Fatal injuries 99%

Armor looks decent and good, so no comments there.

Air Transit:
Maximum Sprint: MACH .8 standard flight mode; MACH 3.5 Supercruise configuration.
**Maximum Sprint denotes level flight at top speed with no complicating manuevers. Supercruise denotes all power shunted to velocity only. Amor mass and shape is not an issue for speed due to lack of manuevers and functional aerodynamics barrier.

Hmmmm. I'm pretty sure TK will complain that this is too fast, and then there's also the issue of powering this. IIRC, to be able to fly, manuvuer and fight in the air, you need to be A-ranked at minimum. I think this is a tad too fast - I'd suggest lowering the supercruise factor to maybe Mach 1.6 or less (hell, Tomcats don't regularly break the sound barrier... though F-22s do..) At any rate, looks possiby S-rank to me. Again, lower it.

Maximum Safe Turn (Ground Armor): 3 Gs (No G-force management.) 5 Gs (G-Force Management.)
Maximum Safe Turn (Air Superiority Configuration): 6 Gs maybe seven (No G-Force Management) 11 Gs (G-force Management)
** G force tolerance actually varies from person to person. However lower mass provides better function at higher G forces. G-force management is magically enhanced ability to withstand high G-operations on both physical armor stress, and internal body stresses of the operator. (Which explains why the near glass like frame of Fate can handle those insane snap manuevers when one stops to think about it.)

...off the top of my head I can't remember where the hell it is, but IIRC there was some discussion on this matter either 300 pages earlier or in the tech thread. At any rate, TK's position, which I remember, is that the wind is hitting Nanoha and Fate in the face, since it's whipping their hair about. G force management seems reasonable, when considering the fast stopping and moving of Flash Move and Sonic Move. TK will have to check this.

Attack ratings:

Rifle Configuration:
- Single fire: ~ equal to a fifty calibur HMG round.
- Automatic Fire: ~ equal to a 7.62 mm round.
--Projectile speeds are comparable to real bullet counterparts.--

The power looks alright and acceptable, the speeds.... iffy. IIRC, just last week or so there was a big ruckus in the tech thread regarding the speed of magical shots, which were determined to have lower velocities compared to conventional counterparts. These will have to be adressed by TK and occasional buster ark - but at first glance, you'll need to justify an ability which Nanoha doesn't seem to have.

Top o' me head, I'd suggest A for these two abilities.

LANCE Rifle Configuration: (Comparable energy delivery.)
- No auxilary charge: 25mm HEAP round
- Single Cartridge: M-203 (40mm) HE grenade round.

This appears reasonable, and I have no problems. For balancing, you may want to consider the 25mm taking a while to charge as a result of not having the shot of mana from a cartridge. I'd say B to A, given how Subaru's B-ranked Revolver Shoot is pretty darned powerful.

- WARNING - : High Energy Management Note:
- Maximum load and charge time. Energy of KE Penetraitor from M1A1 120 mm smoothbore APFSDS round. (Actual penetrator size is 22 mm.)
**All shot power levels can be aimed at targets up to 20 km away and travel at supersonic velocity. All shots are unguided and cannot be recalled once released. All shots are composed of high energy charged ion packets encased in magical containment barriers until impact. Technically making the Lance Rifle a magic powered Ion Cannon.

I'd say this is a bit much. Divine Buster seemed roughly tank-level to me. Furthermore, 20km is too far. I would suggest reducing it to about 3000 meters - Deici's cannon shot was approximately that distance, taking a rough estimate. We're looking at S-rank levels here, at the very least.

Cerberus DF:
Gatling Autocannon: 20 rounds/sec with energy delivery of 5.56 mm NATO round at a range of eight hundred meters. No accuracy however at any range greater than immediate combat range.

How long is the burst, and how much mana does this take up? without that data, I can't really comment. For example, if it's a one to 5 second burst, I'd say AA to AAA. Longer than that would be S in my book.

Bloodhound Breaker:
- Delivery of destructive force equal to M-67 fragmentation grenade. Max Homing and chasing range of Five thousand meters. Reletive launch velocity of 300 m/s

Rather fast for a homing grenade, with large range. Again, remembering what DK said, this chasing range of 5000 meters is a bit too far - if you must have long range, I suggest halving it. Why? Believability - none of the Aces except Hayate have demonstrated this long-range ability - and she was an artillery specialist blind-firing nukes, trusting on RF6 to spot for her. This is a bit too far and too powerful.

Spectre Barrage:
- WARNING - : High energy management note.
- Delivers repeated strikes equal to a BOFORS 40 mm cannon. Sustained fire of two rounds per 1.5 second interval for maximum of fifteen seconds before recharge/rest is required.

Depending on whether it's the Bofors L60 or the L70, you could have a maxium ROF of 4 rounds per second in burst mode. The current ROF you're using looks reasonable, but again, there's no mentions of how much power & cartridges this is using and taking. Without that, there is no adequete way of telling whether this is reasonable or hax.

METEOR SHOWER:
- WARNING - : Extreme High Energy Management Note!
- Delivers MIRV Indirect fire strike with submunition rounds equal in force to 105 mm, 40 lb artillery round. Maximum MIRV of six round split.
** MIRV stands for Multiple Intercept Reentry Vehicle, which is just a fancy way of saying one shot splits into several that can go for different targets. Although in this case, all shots are unguided.

I'm going to go on a limb and say S. Or AAA...TK would be a good person to look into this, as he's done some work involving artillery mages. But if you're gonna expect poor C-rank to do this... he's gonna be KOed for at least a week. Or two.

HIGH ENERGY NOTE: Excersize caution with use, and/or repeated use of this level of energy management. Suggest ample rest time between shots, or limited use altogether outside of special emergency situations.

EXTREME HIGH ENERGY NOTE: Excersize restraint of use in all but pretty much special order situations, as well as ample rest time and/or retreat from the engagement scenario after use.

Both are reasonable and make sense, so I think this should be alright.

Honestly, if it's well written, I don't care if we've got SSS++++++ characters running around. I'm here for a good story and to help others (and be helped in return) write a good story, and sometimes (okay, a lot of the time) throw in references to my favorite things while I'm doing it. And if a character needs to be god to do it, then by all means, go for it.

I recall deliberately writing Franz as A+ so that he'd have just enough power to use effective copies of Fate's spells, to fulfill his fanboy aspect, while still being decently powered in his own right... and also so that AMF would supress his power so much, I'd have an excuse to have him using an Assault Rifle. And also because he'd be more suck than he already was if he was S-ranked and kept getting pwnt all the time (poor Signum is sufferring from the Worf Effect).

Okay, now my turn. I've been developing this thing for a while now and wanted to run it by you guys before I put it to paper.

I like the Ghost Armor concept, and think it's quite well balanced, and I also note the two drawbacks: the high thermal sig and the inability to use magic. Both caveats will, I think, allow this to be considered balanced in the context of haxbusting for the concept...as for the heels.... um.... they can be used to stomp people with. Especially perverts. And much lol at the Super Sentai Lancenger team *laughs* All in all, a good effort!

...and if you need extra protection, you could strap on body armor over the suits....

To be honest, I was actually surprised by the Kamen Rider concept, but this is one of the less ridiculous henshins there are. And putting the device on the belt is just commonsense. Now all that's needed is to ... hmmm. Any suggestions?

Psycho: "Wanna bet the suit enhances the physical sensations?"
Leena: "That would definately be awesome. Girls! I'm coming after your burning hearts and your cute assets - I mean, asses~"
Psycho: "Mind if I join you?"
Leena: "Lol, don't mind if you do~"
Glen & Franz: *facepalm*

[AdmiralTigerclaw]

Such a scene is in need of the correct BGM.

Spoiler for Fleet Commander Thomas Johnson's Reaction:

ATC: *Looking at the video feed.* Now I remember why I prefer the GCFA over the TSAB...

PAUL: *Chuckling.* It's not THAT bad. They're just kids after all.

ATC: Give me the 151rst Tactical Starfighter Squadron without any magic over a bunch of girls playing Super Sentai any day of the week. Do those outfits... DO anything?

PAUL: Relax, I hear the magical barrier jackets provide the same protection as the older Titan A1 Armor suits.

ATC: With a squad of Armarines... They wouldn't last two minutes.

PAUL: For the record, if Duncan and Dozer are in charge, it'll last about... forty-five seconds.

ATC: Just how can this organization afford to act like children?

PAUL: Well, in their defense, they ARE more paramilitary than full military, despite having a naval force.

ATC: Twelve Cruisers! TWELVE! I don't call that a fleet, I call that a detatchment from a task force. *Sigh.*

PAUL: Dimensional Coast Guard maybe? Look, just because Admiral Haralown had stated he was bringing the 'entire fleet' doesn't mean he was bringing the entire combined force of the TSAB Navy. Maybe he only brought the 'fleet' under his command. Maybe he meant a Battlegroup. You know how these Paramilitary types get everything mixed up.

ATC: *Sigh.* Well, at least the outfits are cute, even if they're about as practical as an entire batllion of Armarines against Megumi.

PAUL: Sir, sending Megumi into a fight just isn't fair...

ATC: ...

PAUL: ...for everyone else.

ATC: ...

PAUL: ...

ATC: You sent her against a batallion of Armarines didn't you?

PAUL: A division actually.

ATC: How long?

PAUL: ...

ATC: HOW LONG?

PAUL: Eight seconds.

*THUD. Thomas 'Tigerclaw' Johnson's head hits his desk.*

ATC: Damage costs?

PAUL: Rather steep, but she was holding back, so it's not as bad as it could have been.

ATC: Paul?

PAUL: Yessir?

ATC: A piece of Advice. If someone is classified as a Goddess, you don't send ground troops. If said Goddess is a VALKYRIE, you don't send anything less than a fleet. If said Valkyrie Goddess is MEGUMI, you destroy the entire star system thrice over if you like to win... Other wise you surrender immediately.

PAUL: Talking from personal experience there?

ATC: In my defense, I can overpower her with brute energy. But ten thousand years of close combat skill with the power of a class four is hard to fight against fairly.

PAUL: Well, it is hard to deal with Wave of Binding. When you learn to freeze time as well, maybe you'll be on even footing.

ATC: Wave of Binding? PAH! I took a swing and passed THROUGH her and took the flat side of Regulus to the back of my skull. She LOVES to catch you with that Wave of Nothing ability. But enough about that... Compile a tactical report on those... *COUGH* ...those Barrier Jacket systems and send them down. They may be kids, but that doesn't mean they don't desserve full attention and credit.

PAUL: Operational statistics only?

ATC: Full tactical analyssis. Any pointers you can give them. I'd rather those kids be capable of stomping Armarines then let them knowingly dive head first into a situation where a shot from even one stolen M-550 Reconciliator would turn them into insta-gib at 3000 meters.

PAUL: Got it.

ATC: Dismissed.

O_o; Oops. Got too far into character.


EDIT IN:

Hmmmm. I'm pretty sure TK will complain that this is too fast, and then there's also the issue of powering this. IIRC, to be able to fly, manuvuer and fight in the air, you need to be A-ranked at minimum. I think this is a tad too fast - I'd suggest lowering the supercruise factor to maybe Mach 1.6 or less (hell, Tomcats don't regularly break the sound barrier... though F-22s do..) At any rate, looks possiby S-rank to me. Again, lower it.

I think I can build an 'excuse' for an experimental system that allows for a higher overall top flight speed.

Spoiler for Technical Fun:

I think, with magic controlling a perfectly shapable barrier... I could, with mechanical and computer assistance of a device, create a virtual, magical pulse detonation engine. Such as the barrier would consist of a central cone around the person flying, and an inverted cone outside this forming the shape of an engine intake without ANY mass at all. Then simply applying the fluid dynamics involved in a REAL PDE, create conventional propulsion. I could generate the propulsion either by just magical compression (Probably energy intensive), or I could use a more efficient method of using a small amount of magical energy to evenly heat the volume of air in the 'engine' to simulate supersonic detonation of the air and expanding it. (Because magic could -evenly- heat the air, it would be even faster to 'detonate' and 'expand' than any form of explosive gas since all points would heat simultaniously, compared to the transit time of any explosion in existence.
All of this would be controlled by the AI of the Device, since there's no way a person would be able to keep track of hundreds of pulses a second.
This would pretty much take magical propulsion and provide a means in which to bypass the magical energy limitations and using conventional physics to boost things. It would also explain a few things.
As far as drawbacks, such a system would be pretty much straight line flight, used only for out running or intercepting. It would require level accelleration, and time to burn up to speed, not lending it very well to snap point manuevers. The large 'surface area' of the barrier would also explain why there's such a deep sonic boom compared to the actual size ofthe traveling object, as well as explaining the loud whine at accelleration and the thunderous roar generated in-flight.
As a bonus, because you're dealing with an 'engine' with virtually no mass. You have the thrust of a jet/Pulse Det. engine with a fraction of the mass it has to push. So even with the small size of the engine compared to one that would be needed in real life, you have an incredible thrust to weight ratio. And with a magical barrier, you have near perfect aerodynamics.

And before Haxbusters strike, a good Idea doesn't mean it has to be Nanoha's idea/power. In this case, I doubt she'd ever even CONSIDERED the speed boost she could get by turning her magical barrier into a virtual jet engine. And thus, why this is the realm of a TEST department. People who come up with new and innovative ways to do things, and then test how they work.

And again, the device would be doing all the math intensive work to keep this MPDE functioning correctly. After all, computers have to do it with the test engines anyway.

[Wild Goose]

To quote Teal'C: "Indeed."

Well, off to bed. Night, folks.

Also note that Japanese, like most asian languages, is annoying. The same word for Fleet is used to refer to detachments and battlegroups.

Furthermore, only one word can describe the above scene. Hax. Remember, TC, this is the NANOHA OC thread. Nanoha. Remember that context. Keep it focused in your mind. Stay on target! :P

And I'm pretty sure Master Chief and Ivanovich would protest at not being considered badass enough to take on an entire division by themselves (so long as they had enough ammo, at any rate. :P)

To be honest... I'm a bit unhappy with it.
It differs a bit from the original concept and lacks some stuff I wanted to describe...
Ah well... it won't be the last one.

Yeah.. it definitely has some Star Wars vibes... but I took that one from another source

CINEMA of the Battery Device Test Incident: (Of course, the second part Incomplete)
P1: http://www.sheezyart.com/view/1441314/
P2: http://www.sheezyart.com/view/1506219/
-------


NAME: 'Crash' (Callsign)
GENDER: Male
Physical Appearance: Nondescript male, short haircut. Athletic build, scared up something fierce.
Allignment: Chaotic Good
DEVICE: Battery
POWERS: Walking Murphy's law. (AKA: Everything just goes WRONG around him.)
+ SKILLS: Evaision, Catastrohpic Survival

PROFILE:

Time Space Administration Beaurau Experimental Systems Test Force (T.S.A. B.E.S.T. F.) Test Pilot, leading unit (Unit 01) Callsign known only as 'Crash'. As a Cadet, he recieved this callsign as the first ever cadet to 'successfully' crash and wreck a full sized TSA Dimensional Cruiser, while it was still powered down and in drydock, resulting in massive damage to the docking facility, and terminal catastrophic damage to the cruiser.
'Crash' had somehow, survived the incident, not only alive, but for the most part, completely unhurt. (Discounting cuts and such.)
Crash had become known throughout his cadet days, as a man with a motto. He could break ANYTHING. Records, rules, equipment, vehicles. 'He's a walking murphy's law' some had said. Some younger cadets even suggested he was cursed or immortal, as he seemed to get into more crazy and violent accidents than it should have been physically possible to do, and even more physically impossible that he pretty much walked away from nearly all of them.

He was assigned to TSA BEST F, the Test Force which helped develope experimental magical technologies and equipment, putting his 'talent' to good use by finding the flaws in new equipment, vehicles, and technology. And find those flaws he did. Crash's test piloting has seen him litterally walk away from 126 'fatal' accidents with nothing more than a shrug, while the entire command staff gawked each and every time, and the test force commander commented about having a heart attack, each and every time... Including 34 'fatal' accidents that occured while the TSA was modernizing the Belkan cartraige system for current, stable use. These included seven dimensional incidents, four of which had class SS+ level magical explosions that rocked TSAGCOM itself.
His piloting is... unique. Crash isn't much of a fighter, but his talent for finding weird ways to break things has developed into a skill in which he can make vehicles and equipment do things that seem to defy logic itself. Often, the term 'The Unsung Aces' has been attatched to him and the test force for their abilities in general. His extensive testing of magical weapons has gained him moderate skill in their use all across the board, especially with most of the ranged magical firearms available.
In the few times he's been deployed in emergencies, he's somehow managed to find the most collatteral inducing and destructive way to deal with a situation. (Much to upper TSAGCOM's displeasure come budget time...)

As of late, Crash has been promoted to be the lead pilot of the Test force, working on the COMBAT BATTERY project to produce a device that can provide all around heavy combat effectiveness to even mages of negligable power levels. After a particularly violent accident during the project, which involved strangely enough, a PVC pipe, duct tape, a paperclip, and chewing gum as the triggers, Crash was quoted as calling the project... 'An absolute BLAST!'.
Whether or not that was because he'd just been blown 200 meters by a magical explosion, or because he thought it was fun, has never been determined.

In the late phase field testing of the BATTERY system, he was redirected to an active intercept role during a major flight test of the new system, where he was promptly cut off from Test Force Command and TSAGCOM before being engaged by six of the Imfamous 'Numbers' Combat Cyborgs. It was believed they were after some of the experimental tech being used in the battery, and was using their artifact raid on the auction to the east as cover. Crash managed to prove the effectiveness of the Battery system and its flexibility by not only actively engaging them, but surviving against these well trained killers for the eight and a half minutes it took to scramble reinforcements to assist him.
Crash has been awarded permenant use of his model of the Battery system for his actions in that incident. And strangely enough, he hasn't broken it yet...



DEVICE PROFILE:

Combat Battery (As in, Artillery Battery, or Weapons Battery.)
REFFERENCED NAME: "Battery"
DEVICE TYPE: Active AI Intelligent Magic Support Device [Test Type]
SYSTEM SPECS: Combat Oriented Armor and Weapons configurations.
AI TYPE: Modified F Type, limited personality, emphisized situational management. Dual Core Redundancy

COMPACT STATE: Dog Tags on a military necklace.

DEPLOYED STATES:
Armor Configurations of Heavy Ground Mode, Intercept, and Air Superiority Mode.
Weapon Configurations include STANDBY, Standard Rifle, Lance Rifle, Cerberus DFC, and Paladin Grand.

NOTES:
The Combat Battery is a self contained magic assisted power armor and weapon system. It includes all the trimmings of normal magical devices such as amplification and control, as well as boosting from the cartraige system. It also contains a number of non-magical systems such as the Grav Drive, a self sealed environment, physical high mass armor plating, and physical lifting capacity of two tons. It contains a magical and non-magical sensor suite and situational awareness system that matches a dimensional cruiser in all but range. The AI that operates the system is smart enough to work and understand as a decent partner with just about any master, gathering information needed, performing operations as required on its own, and essentially doing all the tasks required in the background of a combat situation, such as target profiling, threat assessment, and tracking.
Battery's voice is male, the engineers opting to have the more harsh, and critical tone to get the attention of its master as needed. Battery is programed to speak clearly in technical terms, often using informative commands such as 'PRIMED', 'AFFIRMATIVE', and 'NEGATIVE', allowing it to be understood and communicated with, even under situations where it may be difficult to hear or understand the device.

Configuration wise, the battery has a number of mission set modes enabling it to perform as well as an A rank Mage.

Internal Barrier Jacket: The primary, all purpose body glove barrier jacket is custom for the Battery, providing full body protection in a utilitarian manner that can be supported by modular add-ons of the main configurations. Unsurprisingly, it is not visually impressive compared to the more flamboyant jackets of the main TSA forces. However, it works.

ARMOR CONFIGURATIONS:

Heavy Ground Mode: The HG Mode consists of a strong overlayed combat exoskeleton over the barrier jacket. This armor is solid metal plating consisting of magic forged super density tungsten carbide and titanium alloys. It masses in at more than three times the weight of a large adult male human. However, it can withstand impact from up to S ranked attacks and still allow just about any pilot to walk away from the assault with only inconveniencing physical injuries. Granted, the armor is made for pilot survivability, not to withstand multiple heavy attacks, so armor functionality after S level hits is questionable.

Interceptor Mode: Power routing of the Battery is diverted from defenses to use of the inbuilt Grav-Drive system that allows the massive armor to gain flight mage ability. At a cost of defensive barrier power and magical weapons power, the armor can achieve straight flight performance surpassing the speed of aireal mages.

Air Superiority Mode: In the event of a manuever intensive air combat situation. The battery armor is designed to Jettison the heavy external armor and activate a lighter, more aerodynamic frame for the purpose of being able to direct more energy to airborne manuevering. Defenses are far weaker as a result, and the mode is suggested only for those who can keep up with the performance boost.

DEVICE WEAPON CONFIGURATIONS:

STANDBY: The weapon can be docked into the back of the armor and placed in standby mode when the pilot needs his/her hands free.

Rifle: The 'Device Mode' of the Battery weapon's system. Unsurprisingly, as a combat oriented device, it's highly utilitarian and rather spartan in non-combat features. The Rifle mode fires magical rounds with either single fire, or automatic/burst fire modes.

Lance Rifle: For the times when the mage just wants to reach out and touch someone, the Lance Rifle mode is an impressive peice of magical weapon's design. Ressembling a Barret M82A1 in design, the mode can fire a compact, high energy SS level projectile at three times the speed of sound at a range of twenty kilometers and hit a target the size of a sheet of paper dead center. This is achieved through the Battery's AI performing the critical targetting management operations such as calcularing horizon curviture, magnetic, optical, and magical interference, as well as digitally and magically stablizing the firing platform. A full power class SS shot requires four cartraiges, and significant charging time, but is capable of smashing just about any magical defense with enough leftover energy to overpenetrait right into other targets. The physical backblast from a single shot often sounds like an artillery cannon being fired and has a strong enough concussion to knock unprepared mages clear off their feet.

Cerberus DF Mode: The Dogfight Cannon configuration, known as Cerberus, employs pretty much a 'spray and pray' factor. In a situation where aireal magical dogfighting with high speed, snap manuever targets is a factor, leading and hitting with well aimed shots just isn't feasable. The rapid fire gatling setup in this mode sprays hundreds of low power, dumb magical shots a second, acting like brilliant tracers to attempt to hit targets in the fight. The overal logic is to overwhelm with numbers rather than overpower. The secondary fire mode, a high power homing shot known as the BloodHound Breaker, fires a fast moving magical missile object that will chase a selected target for up to five kilometers to inflict level A rank damage with a cartraige load.

Paladin Grand: When the mission calls for the Big Guns, the Paladin Grand artillery cannon is where it's at. Although it has almost no practical use in close range combat, it's few firing modes allow the pilot to engage in heavy fire support of any other mage group that requires it. The deadly accuracy of the Spectre Barrage allows light artillery level firepower to be repeatedly placed on target, rapidly firing a series of deadly high power explosive magic shells on the fly. It's final attack however, the deadly high energy Meteor Shower, fires a single round... the Ballistic magic round of the Meteor shower attack is a MIRV, the shot being calculated by the AI to be fired high into the sky, where it fractures at sub-orbital altitude to rain down on the target position with a devastating hail of magical explosions. The exact number and size of the fracturing can be controlled by the pilot or AI depending on what they want for area spread and damage per submunition. To fire a Meteor Shower however, requires a full five cartraiges, and is a difficult and time consuming attack to fire.


OTHER ABILITIES:

1 - The Battery device can duplicate a number of conventional magical attacks, ranging from the Divine Buster, to the Iron Howl, and does have an inventory of various attack propperties for magical bullets.

2 - M.A.C.H. STRAFE: The experimental emergency movement technique, known as the Magic Assisted Compression Hop, is being tested out with the Battery. This manuever uses sub-dimensional micro-compression to fold the space between two points for the pilot, and causes a rather sudden change in position. The rapid change in position often produces a sonic boom on entry into the strafe, and a loud crack of thunder at exit due to air moving out of the way of the pilot's body and or aerodynamics barrier. The manuever can be self sufficient from any mage pilot at a range of up to 500 meters before additional cartraige power loads are required. The nature of the move being a dimensional hop rather than a physical motion means that it also does not have any effects on momentum, or the conservation thereof. Meaning that it can be used to effectively change direction without bleeding speed in the conventional sense. Overall, the name 'MACH' Strafe, often misleads mages into thinking the pilot has performed a sudden, seemingly impossible high-supersonic short range manuever.

3 - HOWLER Flares: Special designed rapid fragmentation micro Iron Howls. Used to create a more or less confusing cloud of light and noise to dupe magical targetting and tracking. Since they're of significantly lower power than a full scale Iron Howl, they're much easier and quicker to deploy in an active high speed air battle.

4 - Variable Magnitude Cartraige Loader: Also in the list of Battery's inventory, it the new experimental VMC Loader, designed to be able to feed different SIZED magical cartraiges in expectation of an eventual shift into more mission specific power levels for cartraiges, ranging from conventional, to triple charge high power loads. The larger, reinforced jetison plate and active force ejection port ensure that spent cartraiges are moved clear of the device more more effectively.

CAUTIONS:

Battery Device is still in the Test Phase. Although functional, it still contains a variety of unproven techniques and unforseen problems. The use of the compact Grav. Drive simultaniously while activating a long range dimensional transport is among many of the untested features. Also, due to the high stress nature of the systems of the Battery, the operational time between maintanance operations on the device and armor is under careful review. It would be catastrophic to give the device to a non-flying mage of low power in the event the Grav. Drive has a total system failure in mid-operation. Until these systems are thoroughly tested for dependability and cleared for C rank or lower mages, the Battery Device will remain classified as a Special Operations and Test Division magical device only.

That should keep it all compact.

Somewhat I want to see the Battery Device in action.

They were completely awed, their jaws dropping to the floor at the most marvelous display of Super Sentai TAMASHII to ever hit this side of the Bureau, in all of Midchilda!

"Sughoi..."
["Amazing..."]

"Kakkoi!"
["Cool"]

"Kirei da ne!!!"
[It's beautiful!!!"]

But most of all... they were frustrated. Or at least they appeared to be.

"They beat us to it..." Julie asked in offense... while her wide open eyes sparkled with much envy.

"And with such magnificient armor and transformation!" Mayura exclaimed, trying to wipe away her uncontrollable drool.

But all objections were silenced by the hand that raised to the air and pointed to the heavens with much conviction.

"MINNA!!!!" Asagi's booming conviction echoed through the air.

"Let us not envy our fellow Five-Colored Warriors, who have shown such purely impecabble and and awesomely incredible display of SUPAA SENTAI TAMASHII!!!!!

DAKARA!!!!
[That's why!!!]

With much grace, and in a single motion her hand reached into her pocket, and she raised her arm to the sky, holding an immaculately white cellphone.

"We must rejoice that the spirit we fight for, is ALIVE in the hearts of all great warriors!!!!!"

And Mayura and Julie's eyes were filled with much warm tears overflowing with joy.

"Leader..."
"Sempai!"

"Yosh Minna, IKUSO!!!!!!!!"

And all three proudly raised their cellphones high above their heads, and with their voices in unison...

"READY!!!!!"

... they ran their phones through their shoulders...

"START UP!!!!"

... And with a flash of light, unveiled their true forms!!!

"HATENAKE BOUKEN SPIRITS!!!!!!!"

I've been wanting to OC the Astray Girls as far back as the early days of OC, though recently did the idea for Super Sentai Astrays stick

And Kamen Rider/Super Sentai has been a most recent fad indeed, and actually had solid plans for introduction... but only with Kagerou's post did my five-minute crack engine crank at full power

The intro was crack, but the Astray Sentai is here to stay

Very nearly forgot to credit Master FlameSparkZ for the drawing

ATC: Give me the 151rst Tactical Starfighter Squadron without any magic over a bunch of girls playing Super Sentai any day of the week. Do those outfits... DO anything?

PAUL: Relax, I hear the magical barrier jackets provide the same protection as the older Titan A1 Armor suits.

ATC: With a squad of Armarines... They wouldn't last two minutes.

PAUL: For the record, if Duncan and Dozer are in charge, it'll last about... forty-five seconds.

ATC: Just how can this organization afford to act like children?

PAUL: Well, in their defense, they ARE more paramilitary than full military, despite having a naval force.

ATC: Twelve Cruisers! TWELVE! I don't call that a fleet, I call that a detatchment from a task force. *Sigh.*

PAUL: Dimensional Coast Guard maybe? Look, just because Admiral Haralown had stated he was bringing the 'entire fleet' doesn't mean he was bringing the entire combined force of the TSAB Navy. Maybe he only brought the 'fleet' under his command. Maybe he meant a Battlegroup. You know how these Paramilitary types get everything mixed up.

ATC: *Sigh.* Well, at least the outfits are cute, even if they're about as practical as an entire batllion of Armarines against Megumi.

PAUL: Sir, sending Megumi into a fight just isn't fair...

ATC: ...

PAUL: ...for everyone else.

ATC: ...

PAUL: ...

ATC: You sent her against a batallion of Armarines didn't you?

PAUL: A division actually.

ATC: How long?

PAUL: ...

ATC: HOW LONG?

PAUL: Eight seconds.

*THUD. Thomas 'Tigerclaw' Johnson's head hits his desk.*

ATC: Damage costs?

PAUL: Rather steep, but she was holding back, so it's not as bad as it could have been.

ATC: Paul?

PAUL: Yessir?

ATC: A piece of Advice. If someone is classified as a Goddess, you don't send ground troops. If said Goddess is a VALKYRIE, you don't send anything less than a fleet. If said Valkyrie Goddess is MEGUMI, you destroy the entire star system thrice over if you like to win... Other wise you surrender immediately.

PAUL: Talking from personal experience there?

ATC: In my defense, I can overpower her with brute energy. But ten thousand years of close combat skill with the power of a class four is hard to fight against fairly.

PAUL: Well, it is hard to deal with Wave of Binding. When you learn to freeze time as well, maybe you'll be on even footing.

ATC: Wave of Binding? PAH! I took a swing and passed THROUGH her and took the flat side of Regulus to the back of my skull. She LOVES to catch you with that Wave of Nothing ability. But enough about that... Compile a tactical report on those... *COUGH* ...those Barrier Jacket systems and send them down. They may be kids, but that doesn't mean they don't desserve full attention and credit.

PAUL: Operational statistics only?

ATC: Full tactical analyssis. Any pointers you can give them. I'd rather those kids be capable of stomping Armarines then let them knowingly dive head first into a situation where a shot from even one stolen M-550 Reconciliator would turn them into insta-gib at 3000 meters.

PAUL: Got it.

ATC: Dismissed.

O_o; Oops. Got too far into character.

Wondering who this Megumi is now... she sounds H4XX

Though actually, these 'weaboo' Sentai girls ( ) are ex-TSAB, honorably discharged after completion of mandatory service time. And they may look like that, but they can still kick righteous amounts of ass

Spoiler for Technical Fun:

I think, with magic controlling a perfectly shapable barrier... I could, with mechanical and computer assistance of a device, create a virtual, magical pulse detonation engine. Such as the barrier would consist of a central cone around the person flying, and an inverted cone outside this forming the shape of an engine intake without ANY mass at all. Then simply applying the fluid dynamics involved in a REAL PDE, create conventional propulsion. I could generate the propulsion either by just magical compression (Probably energy intensive), or I could use a more efficient method of using a small amount of magical energy to evenly heat the volume of air in the 'engine' to simulate supersonic detonation of the air and expanding it. (Because magic could -evenly- heat the air, it would be even faster to 'detonate' and 'expand' than any form of explosive gas since all points would heat simultaniously, compared to the transit time of any explosion in existence.
All of this would be controlled by the AI of the Device, since there's no way a person would be able to keep track of hundreds of pulses a second.
This would pretty much take magical propulsion and provide a means in which to bypass the magical energy limitations and using conventional physics to boost things. It would also explain a few things.
As far as drawbacks, such a system would be pretty much straight line flight, used only for out running or intercepting. It would require level accelleration, and time to burn up to speed, not lending it very well to snap point manuevers. The large 'surface area' of the barrier would also explain why there's such a deep sonic boom compared to the actual size ofthe traveling object, as well as explaining the loud whine at accelleration and the thunderous roar generated in-flight.
As a bonus, because you're dealing with an 'engine' with virtually no mass. You have the thrust of a jet/Pulse Det. engine with a fraction of the mass it has to push. So even with the small size of the engine compared to one that would be needed in real life, you have an incredible thrust to weight ratio. And with a magical barrier, you have near perfect aerodynamics.

And before Haxbusters strike, a good Idea doesn't mean it has to be Nanoha's idea/power. In this case, I doubt she'd ever even CONSIDERED the speed boost she could get by turning her magical barrier into a virtual jet engine. And thus, why this is the realm of a TEST department. People who come up with new and innovative ways to do things, and then test how they work.

And again, the device would be doing all the math intensive work to keep this MPDE functioning correctly. After all, computers have to do it with the test engines anyway.

So essentially, you're creating what amounts to an aircraft hull with engine using magical barriers, nice

Concept certainly wouldn't be alien to the Nanohaverse... Fate in StrikerS episode 5 certainly seemed to have a barrier protecting her as she went into full speed to intercept the Gadget Drones.

Can't see any problems here. I've got a vague idea of the energy involved in these situations so I'm not going to place a rank on it.

Air Transit:
Maximum Sprint: MACH .8 standard flight mode; MACH 3.5 Supercruise configuration.
**Maximum Sprint denotes level flight at top speed with no complicating manuevers. Supercruise denotes all power shunted to velocity only. Amor mass and shape is not an issue for speed due to lack of manuevers and functional aerodynamics barrier.

I'd be cutting the speeds of both modes. TK's already looked into the whole thing. There's no evidence to suggest that the majority of mages even attain speeds that get anywhere near the speed of a modern helicopter (which is why they're used to ferry them around in the first place). The current speed of your standard mode would be achieved by the cream of the crop (S ranked and above.) The supercruise mode is just out of the speed of everyone.

If anything, your supercruise speed should drop to ~ Mach 1 where it'll match the top speed of the best flight mages in the TSAB, with the normal speed dropping to a level much much lower than your current speed.

Attack ratings:

Rifle Configuration:
- Single fire: ~ equal to a fifty calibur HMG round.
- Automatic Fire: ~ equal to a 7.62 mm round.
--Projectile speeds are comproble to real bullet counterparts.--

The power is about right, although projectile speed is too high.

- WARNING - : High Energy Management Note:
- Maximum load and charge time. Energy of KE Penetraitor from M1A1 120 mm smoothbore APFSDS round. (Actual penetrator size is 22 mm.)
**All shot power levels can be aimed at targets up to 20 km away and travel at supersonic velocity. All shots are unguided and cannot be recalled once released. All shots are composed of high energy charged ion packets encased in magical containment barriers until impact. Technically making the Lance Rifle a magic powered Ion Cannon.

Cut the range, cut the speed. As it is now, both speed and range would be something like SSS+++++++

Cerberus DF:
Gatling Autocannon: 20 rounds/sec with energy delivery of 5.56 mm NATO round at a range of eight hundred meters. No accuracy however at any range greater than immediate combat range.

This is putting Macross Spam into nanoha. It doesn't quite work that way...

Bloodhound Breaker:
- Delivery of destructive force equal to M-67 fragmentation grenade. Max Homing and chasing range of Five thousand meters. Reletive launch velocity of 300 m/s

Again, cut the range, speed and power. Comparing it to the Nanoha's accel shooter, this thing is way beyond it in terms of all three factors.

Spectre Barrage:
- WARNING - : High energy management note.
- Delivers repeated strikes equal to a BOFORS 40 mm cannon. Sustained fire of two rounds per 1.5 second interval for maximum of fifteen seconds before recharge/rest is required.

The rate of fire seems ok, although I'm not sure about the power...

METEOR SHOWER:
- WARNING - : Extreme High Energy Management Note!
- Delivers MIRV Indirect fire strike with submunition rounds equal in force to 105 mm, 40 lb artillery round. Maximum MIRV of six round split.
** MIRV stands for Multiple Intercept Reentry Vehicle, which is just a fancy way of saying one shot splits into several that can go for different targets. Although in this case, all shots are unguided.

This is obviously something like Hayates Bombardment spell.. Power is going to be in the S ranks. If not higher..

I can't say that the spell list is getting any better in terms of making them Nanoha friendly.... Based on what's been shown in the series so far, here's my rough estimate on the top power rankings (as achieved by mages).

Flight Speed. Mach 1
Projectile Speed. Mach 1
Spell Range. The very extremes would be the bombardment spells which probably reach out to ~10km, but for the standard mages, range is cut back substantially to ~ 1km as the max. More skilled mages would have ranges out to ~2km, although these would be more specialised, (The canon Number, nanoha, etc.)
Spell Power A small bomb? roughly... Not too sure on the numbers..

Spoiler for Reaction:

They were stunned.

They were amazed.

They were completely awed, their jaws dropping to the floor at the most marvelous display of Super Sentai TAMASHII to ever hit this side of the Bureau, in all of Midchilda!

"Sughoi..."
["Amazing..."]

"Kakkoi!"
["Cool"]

"Kirei da ne!!!"
[It's beautiful!!!"]

But most of all... they were frustrated. Or at least they appeared to be.

"They beat us to it..." Julie asked in offense... while her wide open eyes sparkled with much envy.

"And with such magnificient armor and transformation!" Mayura exclaimed, trying to wipe away her uncontrollable drool.

But all objections were silenced by the hand that raised to the air and pointed to the heavens with much conviction.

"MINNA!!!!" Asagi's booming conviction echoed through the air.

"Let us not envy our fellow Five-Colored Warriors, who have shown such purely impecabble and and awesomely incredible display of SUPAA SENTAI TAMASHII!!!!!

DAKARA!!!!
[That's why!!!]

With much grace, and in a single motion her hand reached into her pocket, and she raised her arm to the sky, holding an immaculately white cellphone.

"We must rejoice that the spirit we fight for, is ALIVE in the hearts of all great warriors!!!!!"

And Mayura and Julie's eyes were filled with much warm tears overflowing with joy.

"Leader..."
"Sempai!"

"Yosh Minna, IKUSO!!!!!!!!"

And all three proudly raised their cellphones high above their heads, and with their voices in unison...

"READY!!!!!"

... they ran their phones through their shoulders...

"START UP!!!!"

... And with a flash of light, unveiled their true forms!!!

"HATENAKE BOUKEN SPIRITS!!!!!!!"
["Infinite Adventurous Spirits!!!!!!"]

MADOUSHI SENTAI!!!!

BELKARANGER!!!!!



SANJOU!!!!!!!!

Belkarangers? Should that not be the *cough* BAKARANGERS

That was awesome though.

Indeed. Although I don't think that anyone's going to guess how she ends up like that in the first place..

@ Kagerou.
The concept of it sounds good. Nicely balanced as well with the drawbacks to it as well.

Looks like a vastly upgraded version of the Barrier Jacket that I was tossing about earlier on (sometime last year..) Which had a limited stealth capability which kicked in after 2 minutes of being static, and only worked for that location.

Anyway, as far as spell ranges... I think we're underestimating Hayate's power level. I'm reviewing Episode 11 of strikers at this very moment and:

Spoiler for Technical Review of the GODS:

Hayate gets released to S rank, which she calls 'more than enough'.
Hraesvelgr's shot, looking at that map, is hitting a LOT farther in range than a mere few kilometers. (Judging by the land mass features on the map.)
It's impact is also causing a massive blast area far larger than any mere artillery shell.


Review the following.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../dronesize.jpg
A flying drone as shown above is roughly a two meter long vehicle, with a 2.5 meter wingspan.
Experience with range shooting of targets has shown me that a one meter target, which is a human upper torso, looks roughly like a small dot at any range further than about two-hundred to two-hundred fifty meters.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...velgrblast.jpg
In the above image, the drone targets in the far distance just above the divide between the cloud and blue sky, are similar in visual appearance to what a 300 meter upper torso target appear as. Essentially, indistinct small blobs or dots. Since drones are larger by several times, but appear the same, I can easily conclude that those drones are roughly three-hundred, to four hundred meters away from the camera position in the shot.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...dchildamap.jpg
The Hraesvelgr shot completely annihilates the entire group. (Group E.)
This indicates that Hraesvelgr has an effective destructive blast radius in excess of 200 meters. In fact, the destructive force radius on Hraesvelgr is potentially far larger, because the destructive energy is contained as a weather phenomina rather than an outright blast.
However you want to calculate that feat, it is in far excess of any 'small bomb' in existence.
In fact, this mere S rank attack has a blast radius that exceeds a Massive Ordinance Air Blast bomb. (MOAB) AKA, the (now second) largest non-nuclear weapon in modern use.
...By a factor of three. Who knows what kind of shockwave it would create if it wasn't Magically contained. And this isn't even a max-yield S rank... if her comment of S rank being 'MORE than enough' is to be taken at meaning.

One Hraesvelgr wave consists of five shots. Putting the estimated energy of this at 15 X the destructive power of a single MOAB.

Context in the episode indicates that she fired Hraesvelgr multiple times after they had shown off the first attack. And she hadn't even broken a sweat before she fired off a Diabolic Emmission (Ep 12), which looking at the city blocks just being engulfed by the attack, is on the physical scale of a tactical nuclear weapon.

Hayate is flying Los Angeles class nuclear missile submarine in terms of firepower.

Going back a second to Hraesvelger, the map showing the trajectories has land mass markings that look rather interesting. Judging from the size and shape of the features, those shots have been fired over FAR greater a distance than a mere ten kilometers (a little under five miles.) I can see clusters of islands and such in different areas as a long winding penensula in the left upper corner.
This map is overlayed over another map, which, looking at the grid markings for lattitude and longitude, this appears to be the northern hemisphere map of midchilda. It's a notable detail, but I can't make any use of it since the overlay map in front of it has the transit data of the shots.


Anyone else want to tell me that six 40 lb 105mm howitzer shells are S class attacks when we've got someone firing what equals 93,700 lbs of high explosive in one salvo? (Let alone direct each of the five shots at the same time.) *Cocks head to the side.*

Like I said, put me in charge of spearheading the classification system, and we cannot fail.

Many catgirls were ruthlessly slaughtered in the making of this post.

I'll start by mourning for the poor catgirls, and then continue smashing them with a hammer!

Now, back to the beginning of your post:
bofors and AC-130U level of firepower in an exoskeletal suit...
...that can be used by just about every bootstomper mage in the tsab...
... you be the judge on how plausible it sounds to get firepower like that to the regular bootstompers in tsab. Compare it to giving those to every single unit in the regular army...
...how about no?

Now, i did say that hayate's blast radius was around 300-400 meters... but you do have a point in the distance category, that map shows her firing those rounds FAR.

Though, looking at the longitude latitude's you pointed out, that map's all whack, or they're all positioned at the north pole of midchilda or something...

But i have to disagree on you about how the magical explosion works, it's not like the normal physical explosion which is created when a substance (or couple of them) react to a trigger (or to some other substance), which causes an explosive reaction.

From what we've seen, magical explosions are made from channeling energy into a package and releasing that energy when it reaches the target, reasoning?
Damage control, a regular explosive reaction is largely uncontrolled, you blow it up, you can't say anything about what blows up in it.
Mages on the other hand have been shown to be able to distinguish between physical and magical damage, even hayate with her diabolic emission didn't level the city blocks even though the spell enveloped them... and she's shown to be in the blast radius herself

so there's no need to limit the blast radius, as there's only enough energy to envelope the drones in the explosion radius... and after knocking down 9 formations, she is shown to be heavily panting (ep 12, around 5:50), clearly showing the amount of stress those shots put her through.

as a side note, a nuclear missile armed los angeles class submarine has tomahawks armed with nuclear warheads that have 200kt yield and looking at the about 15kt yield of hiroshima (blast radius 1mile, fireball/heatwave causing fires withing 11 square miles)... i don't think we can compare hayate to THAT...

I'm unsure as to how much the difference in magical energy spending is when using something that does physical damage as opposed to doing 'only' magical damage.
Because hayate is shown to be panting when blowing up 9 groups of drones within something like 300-400 meter radius of the blast center, but seems to be just fine after casting diabolic emission with radius atleast a mile across...
...though the power seems to be rather weak with diabolic emission, what with the numbers actually flying out of it, seemingly allright.

Well, that should have enough stuff for you to chew on for a while
can we now leave hayate alone and concentrate on you getting your mini gundam through this haxxbusting operation that has now spanned about 5 pages?

I think the main problem is that you're trying to incorporate 'mundane' military terms, calibers and physics into magical terms, ranks and effects, and you seem to think that they can be directly compared and converted, when the very foundations of the two are fundamendally different (IE the normal vs magical explosion i presented.)

Generally the nerfing you've been doing so far is starting to look good to me too, and i think we can leave the prototype unit at a bit higher level than the later mass produced versions... but i still think you need to tone it down by a bit, the computer can't be doing everything for the pilot so you do need to regulate the power, by quite a bit.

You should take into consideration Aurion and Almaria's old Pschic Link. Because one thing to remember is 'No link' = 'fake'. This makes sense, I must admit. If you're going thruough with this, provide the Psychic link, if only a phantom one. And of course, I want the reappearance to be AlternateS-exclusive. :-/

Spoiler for Warning: incoming rant.:

For a lot of the OCs and scenarios introduced in this thread, I have the odd and probably unenviable position of Not Getting It. The characters have some strangely-named super moves which they shout out and seems to be kind of flashy, and the thread goes wild with how "hot-blooded" or "awesome" it is, and I'm just sitting here completely confused by all the reactions. This may be aggravated by the large fonts sometimes used, which I always associate in my head as someone screaming right in my face, with the result that I'm feeling like I've been shouted at continuously for a significant period of time, and my ears are ringing despite not actually having heard anything as such.

Now, this is not saying that references are Bad. Off the top of my head, I have stuff from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (possibly the most recognizable for people in this thread, since it's the one I've pushed the most), Lucky Star, the Marathon series of games, the System Shock games, Slayers, Ranma 1/2, Revolutionary Girl Utena, the Discworld books, the new World of Darkness systems (primarily Mage: The Awakening and Changeling: The Lost), ReBoot, the City of Heroes MMORPG...

An advantage I've had with all this is that apart from maybe The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Lucky Star, I'm assuming that nobody else will have heard of whatever I'm drawing inspiration from, and so I try to make it my own as much as possible, such that the reader does not have to have seen whatever it is that special move came from in order to appreciate why it is special.

Therefore, I can make the characters like someone else from an established series, but with their own quirks and flair. Ivey is like Konata from Lucky Star, but she isn't Konata with a name change. Reiz is like Mikuru from MoHS, but she has her own personality that diverges from Mikuru's. (For one thing, Reiz has a spine, and has been known to lose her temper.)

References are fun, but they should not be important enough to take over a significant plot point. A throwaway line or two is fine, but if you turn it into a major aspect of the story, please provide enough context for the rest of us to understand.

tl;dr: References should be references. Crossovers should be crossovers. Neither are bad, but the two are not the same thing.

As for the mecha-references thing, I'm not a mecha anime fan, and in fact I don't really like mecha anime. My favourite mecha anime would probably be Magic Knight Rayearth, and that's about it.

Well said! That's how I modelled my two more prominent OC's (Aurion and Grandis). Though if almost complete originality is taken into consideration Almaria is completely my idea.

Truth. Now that you think about it, she also suffers a bit in my fic. Hopefully, I can provide some passable mindscrew in GenerationS as well. The sort of despair in helplessness schtick as well as decisions to kill, sacrifices, betrayals, etc...

Hayate:



She'll come out as a person with a stronger fortitude in the end, nonetheless.

In short, I want my story as canonically feasible as I can. And Yep, it's fun! Though I'm having particular trouble with portraying Hayate in combat due to excessive shafting.

I'd like to ask now (everyone who won't mind), how would you expect her to hold out in relatively close range? The initial idea is that she has a year under her wing for some training on mid to melee-range self-defense. How should she hold out against someone like say... Vita? As it is now, I'm imaging a large possibility of cries of, "She's supposed to do better!" or "She's not supposed to be THIS good!" or both. So I would like a general opinion. Her spellcasting is better now, BTW. But still way slower than most.

But I'm doing the others this a bit later, after enjoying MOAR Persona 3(Am bout to fight the monthly Third Boss in July) and doing even more important schoolwork. As well as moving into another condo unit.

Type-G3C Barrier Jacket, Codename Ghost Armor

Spoiler for Background:

In MC0077, shortly after the JS Incident, Emili Nailo of the Order of Freelance Mages decided that the Air Wing needed a "step-up" when it came to defensive and offensive capabilities. The standard Barrier Jacket and Head-up Display Glasses weren't quite cutting it anymore; the HUD was oftentimes unreliable, and the Barrier Jackets, while flashy, weren't very capable of actual protection for the extremities, and more importantly, the head. Furthermore, except for Phoenix, Sidewinder, and Sparrow, the mass-production Storage Devices that the OFM used were becoming worn and overused, a result of poor manufacture. As a result, Air Wing mages were starting to take a hit in efficiency.

After talking it over with Erick, Emili used the OFM's contacts and networks to find people who specialized in Device manufacture and use. Two names that popped up, that were familiar to Emili, were Aurion Dauer and Shario Finieno. Aurion was busy at the time, so Emili contacted Shari, who agreed to help Emili on her little project. The two met in TSAB HQ during the Aus'ruf's rest/refit cycle, and together the two drew out the plans (with a little help from Sidewinder) for a working Storage Device that could handle the new ideas Emili had.

What Emili wanted was a bodysuit that gave maximum aerodynamic efficiency, thick magical protection, complete invisibility, a working Radar and HUD system, and had, of course, a "big gun". Given the limitations of the Storage Device AI, however, this wasn't feasible; the system mechanics of the SD couldn't handle the workload. Furthermore, the specifications were simply too much for your average A-rank to handle, let alone B-rank. Something had to be worked out, something quick and simple that wouldn't divide a mage's time too much, that wouldn't provide too much of a burden on their Linker Core, and would still be effective.

Emili found her answer, oddly enough, from Franz. An avid watcher of Earth programs (He had somehow acquired tons of it during a brief excursion to the planet), he had suggested something from a certain tokusatsu series of shows. Emili watched the show one night, and got her idea. It would definitely be something to run by.

Emili, in a fit of creative genius and wit, asked off for two-weeks leave while the ship went out on a mission to the middle of nowhere. It was granted the day of departure, and on that day, Emili and Shari locked themselves in a hole for two weeks to implement this plan.

It was fairly simple at a glance; use two Storage Devices instead of one. By using two, it cut the workload on both in half easily, as both the new Rifle-SD and the Armor-SD would run off of programs dedicated to their specific casts (in this case, shooting and protection, respectively). Of course, the problem was that this increased the workload of the mage's Linker Core, which would prove to be a problem. The answer for this was found in the Cartridge System... well, the spirit of it, anyway.

The Cartridge System revolved around using a magical burst of energy through a magic accessory to gain power rapidly in a short amount of time... but this was for offensive attacks. Shari took the idea of the CS and modified it for defensive purposes. She proposed the idea of a magical "charge", similar to a cartridge. Upon activation of the SD, the charge would activate and sustain the armor without a mage's intervention.

This was both a plus and a minus. On the plus side, this would mean that the mage would not need to sustain the armor with their own power. On the minus side, this would not allow the mage to restore the armor in the middle of a firefight, as the armor was tied to a Device that would act fairly independantly from the mage (that is, not reliant on him or her to exist). To restore the armor, the Storage Device would have to be deactivated, the charge restored, and then the Device reactivated. This would simply be impossible in a fight, when lives are on the line, and a minute could be an hour on the battlefield.

Using this concept, Emili and Shari were able to tie together Emili's ideas with the secondary Storage Device whilst using only minimal power from the Linker Core. The mage's Linker Core would provide power to the active radar system and the Heads-Up Display, which took a negligable amount of concentration to use (though to alter the radar to scan at longer ranges would require more power and concentration, and capped out at 500 meters, with the default at 25).

The rifle half of the equation would simply be a standard TSAB Storage Device, but with modern AI and a greater size limit on the kinds of spells it could cast. Essentially, they were modern variants of the S2U standard Storage Device, simply reformed into the shape of a heavy rifle. It consisted of the standard TSAB spells (Stinger Snipe, for example), and like standard Storage Devices, these operated strictly off of the mage's Linker Core. Newer SD AI's were more modular, and, given enough time in the hands of an engineer, could be fitted exactly to the user's specifications.

Emili and Shari toiled for all the two weeks they had, and by the time the ship came back, Emili and Shari had completed the first Prototype G3C, which was given to Emili, who performed tests on the Device during a mission. The Devices worked well together and worked optimally, and so Emili and Shari sent the concept and plans to the TSAB R&D, who had already been working on similar new types of Barrier Jackets. Though costly and thus limited to Special Forces units (such as certain Enforcers and the OFM Air Wing, for example), the G3C proved to be a success.

Spoiler for G3C Design:

A Sword Flight Mage pauses after killing a hostile monster.

The G3C was designed for maximum aerodynamic ability. As such, the armor is fully streamlined and skintight. Although not as thick all-around as Emili had wanted, the armor compensates by placing the most defense in key points on the body, with weaker armor covering the joints and hands and certain other areas to ensure flexibility (it functions more as a bodysuit in these areas, though noticably stronger). The helmet is full-face, thus ensuring maximum protection from hostile fire. Though the face is covered and the visor opaque, the heads-up display allows the mage to see what's going on around her. On top of the helmet are radar transmitters. Due to their position, the radar has a more accurate reflection when the mage is facing forward. The radar transmitter has good reception up to 10 meters in all directions - accuracy steadily declines from there - and the forward projection is completely accurate up to 25 meters. As such, mages are trained to "swivel" - that is, continuously look all around them.

The shoulder pads are fitted with barrier emitters, able to redirect softer attacks and small arms fire (important for the OFM mages) up to .45 caliber, and can disperse a standard offensive ranged spell enough to cause minimal damage to the armor itself (though the mage still gets to feel some of the magical damage). The emitters, while strong, are not initially connected to the mage's Linker Core. As such, they are quick to give out (tests show that the emitters can disperse one B-rank spell before dying) unless the mage powers them with her Linker Core. Since most mages do this anyway, it's not really an issue.

The blue lines and rings are an important feature, as they employ a first-generation personel cloaking device. This cloaking device does exactly as descripted: it causes the mage to vanish, save for minor light distortion whenever they move.

Finally, the spikes on the right shoulder, while seemingly serving no purpose at all, can serve as weapons in desperate situations.

The high heels, on the other hand...

Spoiler for G3C Capabilities:

General:
The G3C is one of the few General User Autonomous Barrier Jacket systems (GABJ for short) to exist. Normally, a mage must concentrate on the formation of the Barrier Jacket before it activates. Though normally a mage can forget about their Barrier Jacket after its activation, with some circles (like the OFM), which also rely on a heads-up display and radar system, along with being better protected, coupled furthermore with rapid spellcasting and extended periods of flight, can cause a wear on the mage.

Benefits to using the G3C Armor System:
The G3C takes these problems and fixes them. By using the Charge System, the armor can sustain itself for as long as it's needed. The radar and Heads-Up Display function fairly well for personal use, and the internal communications system allows for orders to be received and given quickly and easily without the need to concentrate on telepathy. Its skintight and aerodynamic properties allow a mage to fly easily (though it can get a little cold), and the material the armor is made to resemble (a mix of cloth, kevlar, and ceramic plating) is thick enough that, should the emitters go down, will still protect against magical, physical, and impact damage. The emitters, as noted before, can operate independantly for a short period of time.

The most radical and beneficial component of the suit, however, may lie in its cloaking device. With a simple thought, a mage can activate the cloaking device, becoming invisible at will. Though this comes with drawbacks (see below), it will nonetheless be quite useful. Already, Enforcers have proven its usefulness when apprehending criminal elements, as you cannot fight what you cannot see (although it's also wise not to take that expression literally).

Drawbacks to using the G3C Armor System:
First and foremost, the important thing to note is that the armor is not easy to repair, as noted earlier. Since it's formed from a separate semi-dependant Storage Device, and not formed from a mage's Linker Core, a mage doesn't have control over its restoration capabilities. Should the armor take damage (and inevitably, it will), a long and complicated process is necessary to restore the armor, one that is not easily done on the battlefield by stanard mages (note that this armor is geared toward use by B-rank and above mages, hence its versatility). On average, it takes fifteen minutes to restore and repair the armor after the Storage Device is deactivated, though higher-rank mages can do it in considerably less time (in a test, Enforcer 1st Class Fate Harlown performed the task in five).

Secondly is its semi-dependance. The armor was meant to last for prolonged engagements, thus the relaxed need of a mage to concentrate on it (indeed, due to the nature of the Device, there are only certain things that the mage can concentrate on). However, the barrier emitters do not take enough charge to matter in the long run. As such, a mage will continually need to power the emitters after they are knocked out.

Third is the cloaking device itself. Although it is extremely useful, it's really nothing more than a programmed spell in the Storage Device that is meant to activate along the emitter lines on the G3C armor. The cloaking device requires a considerable deal of power, and it's not recommended to use the spell running for longer than five minutes for your average B-rank mage, seven for A. Secondly, in the event that night-vision or infrared is available to the target, then the mage is advised to shut off the cloak. The spells emits an extremely large amount of heat signatures to the area around the mage, and so the mage becomes something of a beacon while cloaked; the total opposite of what you want when invisible. And lastly, while cloaked, a mage cannot cast any other spells, of any sort. A mage, thus, cannot fly and cloak.

Finally, and less of an issue with the armor as with the user. The G3C does not make the mage more powerful. It does not grant increased abilities, does not increase power, and does not help in any area other than defense. Some mages think it makes them more powerful, but this is false to the highest degree. The G3C armor system is designed to decrease the workload on a mage and provide better protection than the standard Barrier Jacket, not make the user superhuman.

So I'll say it again; G3C does not make a mage more powerful.

Spoiler for Armor Storage:

The G3C Armor system is stored in two parts; one is the Charge System and Activation Key, stored as something remebling a closed cell phone. To activate the armor, the mage has to open the Device (again, similar to a cell phone), type in the proper Activation Key, and have the AI confirm (it does this by saying, "Stand By") the key is correct. The second half of the Device, the AI itself, is stored in a belt the mage wears. When the devices are combined, the device says, "Ready", and the armor activates. Refer to the video below:

To deactivate the armor, the mage must use a certain phrase, usually custom to the mage (it's voice recognition, so an opponent can't simply guess the deactivation phrase).

Spoiler for Emili watched too many of Franz's shows.:

"Glen, Glen, watch this!"
"What?"

Emili half-dragged Glen into a certain part of the ship; a nice, open space, where the five mages of Lance Flight stood, waiting. Some of them, like Naomi, were smiling, and others looked nervous. "You have to watch this!"

"What is it? I have work to do..." Glen sighed, knowing he wouldn't escape Emili's iron grip (followed by Iron Will, of course). The mage had been on overdrive for the past month, it seemed, working with each of her flight's G3C suits for what seemed like an unncessary amount of time. "What's this about, Emili?"

"Just watch!" Emili said, giddy, as she and the other four mages stood in a line, with her in the center. "You know those shows that Franz is always watching?"

"Yeah..."
"Well, I got this idea. It's pretty cool! ...well, I like it, anyway." She smiled and looked at the other four girls. "Ready?"

"Ready!" The other four shouted in unison (Naomi is getting way too into this, Glen thought).

In one move, the five girls grabbed their Charge Device and flipped it open. They held out one hand in front as they typed in their activation keys. "Lance Flight!"

[Stand by.]

"Henshin! The girls shouted as one, slamming the Charge Devices with the AI Devices.

[Ready.]

As the girls drew their hands back, their transformation occured, multi-colored lines (one for each girl) spreading from the belt before flashing a bright color (the color of the lines) and revealing the five girls in their armored suits. Each one had been recolored, to fit the theme. Their cloak emitter lines reflected a color multiple shades lighter than the dark armor.

"Anna Petrov, Lance Black!" The first girl announced as her rifle formed, dropping to one knee and holding it against her shoulder with both hands.

"Chiisa Ivana, Lance Pink!" The second one yelled, twirling and holding her rifle loosely in one hand, the barrel pointing at the floor.

"Rachel Vasilie, Lance Blue!" The third girl shouted, twirling her rifle above her head once before standing sideways with the barrel pointing up.

"Naomi Jaeger, Lance Yellow!" Naomi said as Sparrow shifted into Naginata form. She twirled the Device above her head and slammed it stick-down, holding onto it with one hand and putting her other hand on her hip.

"Emili Nailo, Lance Red!" Emili finished the roll call, holding Sidewinder in Daggers Form to her sides, blades pointing backward.

"Super Sentai!" The girls shouted. "Lancenger!"

Glen... was speechless.

He opened his mouth to speak, then closed it. He half-expected a multi-colored explosion behind the girls.

"I..." he closed his mouth again. "I just have a couple questions..."
"What?" Emili stepped forward, her red armor gleaming from the glow of the cloaking emitters and the lights above.

"Are you going to do this... every time?" he asked.
"God, no!" Naomi denied. "We just did that to show off! No, most of the time it'll be pretty cut and paste... though "henshin" has a nice ring to it."

"Fair enough," Glen conceded, putting a finger to the side of his mouth. He looked up, then at Emili. "...is red the right color for you, Emili?"

"Very funny, dork," Emili teased, bopping Glen on the head.
"Hey, stop that," Glen brushed Emili away. "Okay... my final question..."

"What?"

"...Does this mean I'm the Sixth Ranger?"

Now THIS is what you call a henshin device!

Damn, You should have Shari borrow data from Aurion. His Barrier Jacket has a similar feature to the passive cartridge load stored in Reishiki. (Yes, he needs to charge his Barrier Jacket for at least a day or two for full utilization, as quickly recovering his purged spell-units is a hassle) as well as the independent systems of his VKA-units(the extra devices).

Would you mind that? ^^ It's okay if you don't want to though...

They were stunned.

They were amazed.

"Sughoi..."
["Amazing..."]

"Kakkoi!"
["Cool"]

"Kirei da ne!!!"

But most of all... they were frustrated. Or at least they appeared to be.

"They beat us to it..." Julie asked in offense... while her wide open eyes sparkled with much envy.

"And with such magnificient armor and transformation!" Mayura exclaimed, trying to wipe away her uncontrollable drool.

But all objections were silenced by the hand that raised to the air and pointed to the heavens with much conviction.

"MINNA!!!!" Asagi's booming conviction echoed through the air.

"Let us not envy our fellow Five-Colored Warriors, who have shown such purely impecabble and and awesomely incredible display of SUPAA SENTAI TAMASHII!!!!!

DAKARA!!!!
[That's why!!!]

With much grace, and in a single motion her hand reached into her pocket, and she raised her arm to the sky, holding an immaculately white cellphone.

"We must rejoice that the spirit we fight for, is ALIVE in the hearts of all great warriors!!!!!"

And Mayura and Julie's eyes were filled with much warm tears overflowing with joy.

"Leader..."
"Sempai!"

"Yosh Minna, IKUSO!!!!!!!!"

And all three proudly raised their cellphones high above their heads, and with their voices in unison...

"READY!!!!!"

... they ran their phones through their shoulders...

"START UP!!!!"

... And with a flash of light, unveiled their true forms!!!

"HATENAKE BOUKEN SPIRITS!!!!!!!"
