Infinite Stratos Character Creation and Fanfiction Discussion

[Eratas123]

@ Zero - Of course, this both helps and hinders them both since he never bothered saying he was Gynophobic. Oh well, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Also, do you have some tips so this doesn't look like an asspull? It might seem like an asspull to readers if Tatenashi suddenly decides to take him just because of injuries. The plan is because FRACTURE refuses to place him at a public hospital or any of their wards due to Mactavish being a dick and telling them he'll attack anyone no matter the situation.

@ Stratos - She calls them that even outside of class, this is shown in the beach arc.

@ demino_hellsin - I think so, apparently smells a bit like coal.

[HasuMasu]

Yes it does, but personally I find it hard to stomach.

Btw, I'm talking about the gunpowder question.

And Stu point + 1, it's a good plot point but we really need a believable reason.

Then that can be a reason in itself, either FRACTURE specialized hospital or a place with incredible measure of security and is related to I.S. ..... uhh, anyone else can help?

They are still her students during then so I guess that makes sense.

Inami is a stranger to her. Not only is he not her student, he doesn't even hold any relations to the IS community(aside from the tragic event during White Knight's appearance).

Not to mention he basically crashed into her life(in a non-romantic way, mind you) in a shiny battle-armor. One could only wonder how she still hasn't called any IS to go police on him yet.

I thought I said Rachel Browning looked something like this: http://konachan.com/post/show?md5=b8...f6f2969fdcd830

Someday I will use this video.



Also, wouldn't singing IS cores be something like... Vocaloid?

Fillia's profile, submitting for some hardcore deconstruction and editing.

Spoiler for Fillia Auckburn:

Name: Fillia Auckburn
gender: female
age: 15
Date of birth: August 13
Hair: Short blonde boyish
eyes: slate gray
Nationality: American
Address: IS academy dormitories

Personality:
Fillia is a tall girl standing at 182 cm in height. She is normally very upbeat and straightforward with the people she meets. Most people come across her as a very earnest person with girlish interests. However this doesn't mean that she is in anyway lacking in common sense, she seems to have a spartan determination and is willing to put up with most anything to achieve her goals.

Fillia is very insecure because of her looks. To put it mildly, she would be the campus prince character in shoujo manga's all-girls' school if she were in one. For all intents and purposes she is very androgynous. It does not help that her growth did not spread to wanted curves but instead went straight to her height. Fillia admires her sister very much wishing that she had her sister's docile feminine beauty, instead of inheriting the same great skills and affinities with the IS.

It is noted that between the sisters neither of them have short fuses, the elder sister, Elmyra has been known to be angry enough that one could physically feel it without actually her showing it. Fillia has a much longer temper but the way she expresses it is potentially more destructive considering her favorite venting method is to fly an IS.

Skills:
As mentioned before Fillia is an extremely adept IS pilot. Her skills are second to none in her training group prompting her to be placed in a location of higher difficulty, like the military IS squadron. It was actually requested by both sisters that Fillia be placed in Elmyra's squad.

Fillia's skills rest in close ranged combat. She excels in hand to hand combat and has a strangely unique talent at dual wielding pole-arms. Her strikes are powerful and accurate though they lack technique. Her combat strategies are very brash and easy to read, but it's not difficult for her to adapt and find another way. She has some skills in ranged combat but this is limited only to a stationary post. Fillia is very unskilled with a ranged weapon when it's in the middle of a dogfight or shooting in mid-motion. Though not quite as abyssmal as her ranged dog-fighting skills, Fillia also exhibits a great drop in accuracy under pressure, the only time she ever seems to make good shots is in the firing range or when her targets are not aware of her.

Her standard position in an IS team is rear support or front point, though she has the potential to be a sweeper, as noted by Elmyra. Sweepers are special individuals who have been recognized as the ace of aces capable of performing missions on their own. This term isn't common and seems to be a slang term amongst some parts of the American military. Though this can also be viewed as a euphemism for black ops agents that are essentially one man armies.

Fillia, despite wanting to be more feminine, is very much into trading card games. She gains much attention for winning smaller tournaments in her community. Some say she is actually good enough to participate nationally.

Personal History:
Fillia was born and raised in a family of four with a father, a mother and an older sister. Mr. Auckburn is a sales clerk at small department store so he doesn't have sundays or holidays off. Mrs. Auckburn is an assistant at a designer botique. The two sisters weren't without parental love, however this left them to practically raise themselves. Elmyra was pretty much the one Fillia looked up to, even though Fillia was the one who got involved in fights on her sister's behalf.

It was middle school when Fillia was ripped from her normal everyday life into the world of IS. She was screened and found to be an exceptional talent in IS. Her abilities far exceeded any of her peers then. It was also the time that Fillia was growing out of her childhood tomboyishness and finally found a guy she liked. It was very unfortunate that the guy she liked saw her as one of the guys because of how she looked and acted around him. Fillia however did not give up and continued to pursue him until he finally gave her a chance a year before graduation.

Summer just after graduation, Fillia was in one of her regular IS training camps as requested by the government. She was being pressured into attending IS academy but she didn't want to leave her life in America behind. During one of her practice flights, she is attacked and captured by a terrorist group named HustleBack. Fillia is taken back to the terrorist camp where she is beaten, tied-up and was to be killed. However this was averted due to the actions of Rong who intervenes and claims to find a course of action that would prove to be more productive than just killing her. This results in her being spared. Some time later she speaks with Rong who gives her the daily meal and generally takes care of her. She asks why someone as young as him is the guard. He only tells her that it's because he was the one recognized to be the best in handling her because he'd already shot her down once, implying he was the one that captured her. This infuriates Fillia and she throws insults at his silent facade. One night she manages to overhear some loitering terrorists say that they would have found some other “use” for her had Rong not staked his claim already. Fillia confronts Rong with this and denies her claims to be misguided. He only tells her that he finds use of her and that is that.

Fillia spends the better part of three months with HustleBack, though more with Rong and the resident mad scientist cum pervert, Croixas. Helping them refine the same machine that had defeated her, AE Swordbreaker. During those times she was allowed to mount her IS and to try to escape as best as she could, each time Rong would deploy and drag her back. It came to the point where she began to treat it more of a game than an actual escape. Denying Stockholme Syndrome, Fillia only says that she feels at ease with Rong and Croixas saying they don't seem to be malignant in any way. Rong stares at her and shakes his head while Croixas just bursts into laughter.

Those months she spent with those two, she'd grown attatched to them. She was not ashamed nor was she regretful that she met them. She knew that they must've been involved in a lot of crime and bad things but she could really see some good in them, especially Rong. She remembered how tortured he looked when he tried to recall his past after Fillia tried to get the teen to open up to her.

Finally at the third month, Rong talks to her and assists her in calling for back-up from the US military. HustleBack is assaulted the next day at midnight and Fillia breaks out. Fillia takes her IS and rejoins her sister who had joined the rescue team. They supress the terrorist threat. Fillia break away to look for Rong and speak to him for one last time. She meets with Rong but she doesn't notice her sister and the American IS squadron were following her. They attack Rong assuming that he is an enemy. Fillia's words to reason fall on deaf ears. Rong is overpowered by the team after a struggle and is detained by America.

Back at home, Fillia reasons with her sister to help Rong in his case. Despite knowing that Rong is a terrorist, Fillia vehementaly states that there were reasons for his actions. Elmyra agrees but Fillia is only promised a possibility of lightening the sentences on Rong.

Fillia returns to school, expecting for things to return to normal. She sees her boyfriend and excitedly calls his attention. He does not notice her but calls the attention of another girl, Fillia's best friend. The two greet each other and kiss, Fillia's world shatters and she confronts the two. She learns that in her 3 month absence the two had mourned her loss and as time passed they sought each other for support before they realized that they had feelings for each other. Fillia is furious and screams at the two of her ordeal. She calls them things she was sure she would regret but could not help herself from screaming. She breaks down crying and is led to the clinic. After some time her sister goes to pick her up and tries to help Fillia pick up the pieces of her broken heart.

Fillia listens to a hesitant Elmyra at the dinner table as the elder Auckburn talks about Rong not being able to escape his sentence. Apparently the terrorist was to be used as a lab rat for research on the AE. Fillia is listless but absorbs the information all the same. She opens the TV hoping not to remember what transpired that afternoon. The TV shows news on IS academy where the top headline is about a young man being the first ever male IS pilot. Fillia thinks back to those past three months and what she came back home to. In order to save Rong and to get away from “home” for a little while, she tells the US government that she would go to IS academy but only under the condition that Rong is to be a fellow student to act as her bodyguard. The government is reluctant but finds it the best way to solve all their problems.

She's a somewhat naive and very ardent person. Please understand that I have no idea how the female mind works and these stuff are just based on assumptions and completely random ideas.

To me, she's the type of person who'd rather die than surrender her will.

[Eratas123]

@ Zero - I'm trying to avoid getting Stu points so I think I'll have to come up with a good reason or just go with the original plan.

Also, FRACTURE may have high security but they also have valuable materials such as expensive medicine's, other patients that he could possibly attack or valuable personnel. They don't want to risk those by treating someone they think could go rogue at any time. Tranqs have proven ineffective so they're not going to try that again.

Of course, Tatenashi possibly just doesn't care since she thinks he won't go berserk at all. She recorded the "interrogation" and she's shown to be careless at times in canon so it's not that odd for her to assume that he won't be able to do much considering one of his arms is broken and he's struggling to stay conscious due to having been forced out of a coma.

@ Meister - I meant Stark, I know Brownings at least a C.

@ Stratos - She only calls friends that, I think. Notice she calls Maya Yamada-kun and not by first name even if they hang out outside of school.

[ZeroXSEED]

Maybe Eras meant Ange Stark....

I suppose I could make some rectifications to the scene then

[Eratas123]

@ Zero - Is the reasoning above okay? It adds some character flaws to all of them.

@ demino_hellsin - How high up is Fillia's sis? Fillia seemed to think she could help Rong out.

[demino_hellsin]

Elmyra's the top military IS pilot(or somewhere up there anyway.).

She's not ranked too high up(I haven't given her an appropriate rank yet).

However, she's considered too precious of a pilot to lose/anger. (EDIT: I originally planned for Elmyra to be the american representative of mondo grosso one, but I made a change and just turned her into the "understudy" of america's IS rep then)

Yep, Tatenashi might be very skilled and very cunning, but she's also very reckless. Apart from being very dense/ selfish in a way... I think I'll use this mindset when writing her, it's more bearable than the canon depiction.

[Eratas123]

@ demino_hellsin - Does Fillia know Natasha Fairs?

@ Zero - Irish himself lampshades the fact that she's willing to some trust in him despite his background and actions. She just smiles and says she knows what she's doing (uh-oh). Irish is very physically weak from the injuries so she thinks it'll be harmless. But you should never underestimate what a person trapped in a corner will do.

I'll add some scenes here depicting the differences of how the protags feel about being in IS academy. Ichika feels like being back home, Kyuukai is curious, and Irish is apathetic.

Is it okay?

[demino_hellsin]

Fillia is aware of Natasha but does not know her personally. Fillia does not know her competitors for Natasha's position.

[Eratas123]

@ demino_hellsin - Shame, might've added some interesting dialogue and fleshing out of Natasha for the Silverio Gospel arc.

Actually, Ichika DO feel like strangers in the Academy, but glad that almost everyone close to him is in ISA so he could call it a second home.

As for dense/ selfish, it's about Kanzashi and Ichika (as well as Saki, in case of To-love-Ru Stratos).

She often overestimate people around her and pressed herself hard to advance further, only to realize that those people are fall into exhaustion trying to catch up with her or plainly gave up and took different path than her, left her all but alone in the frontier.

[demino_hellsin]

@eratas: I have a feeling the author will give her more depth(maybe?). Plus I don't even have a clear image of the cast to work with yet. Closest I have is Ichika.

[Eratas123]

@ Zero - Then I guess Irish is the difference then. He fully knows he's no match for her but he'll still try to be there for her as her partner. This also provides their development since he calls her partner in the beginning as a way of distancing himself and only helps her to do his job. Later on he calls her that to show that he trusts her and that he'll always try to help her even if he can't do much/catch up to her or do much.

@ demino_hellsin - Doubt it, closest she got was being attacked by M in V6.

All sorts of girls exist, I think Karon's strangeness somewhat proves it...

This profile reads well, so it clears the stage.
