Kha, for once could you speak normally.....

Basically I scored more than 50 pts in that Fantasy Novel Test, for Memoirs of a Kaiser, that long stalled space epic involving the life of Sankt Kaiser Vivio the Third, Sakura Zaki, from farm girl to warrior to Empress to savior...

But to be honest I did borrow heavily from about every tale in the genre (like FSN King Arthur), spliced with CLAMP and some other random anime like Lodoss War Chronicles...

In short: the DUAL! formula of originality.

I failed gloriously by the standards set there. But since I wasn't trying to be original, I passed epically. After all, too many people strive for originality; it becomes original to be unoriginal!

[dkellis]

My fantasy novel is like a genderbent Zero no Tsukaima. Except not really.

But the basic concept is the same: girl from "our world" lands in a fantasy world. In this case, she's a yaoi fangirl who has a talent for the fantasy world's brand of (human) magic. (Then she turns to the dark side due to the "power corrupts" clause and has to be defeated by the other characters, but that's just cruft.)

Amazingly, that story only failed the one question (about people from the "real world" dropping into a fantasy world), and passed the rest. Then again, considering a failing grade if we get one "yes" answer to a question...

About the wiki: I've given up on trying to find another free wiki site, so feel free to start expanding on the Wikidot. This includes editing the main "start" page.

Basically, anything that is specifically not in the "faq" namespace, feel free to edit and add, and I mean anything. Please also follow the editing guidelines. Wiki moderators, please feel free to edit the "faq" pages as well.

If anyone wants to help with prettifying the place, let me know and I'll admin-ize you.

Once again, if anyone needs it, the site is http://ocnano.wikidot.com/ and the "secret password" is forcrackandthewhitedevil.

[Comartemis]

Yeah, I was reading through and saw universe and went WTF! Well seems ok, but I don't see what was wrong with the old background..

Just that I was having problems coming up with a political situation that would require the TSAB to interfere but then butt out when order is restored by the wrong side. This just simplified things a great deal by not getting the TSAB involved at all. The Fate Incident takes place at the same time as I had originally planned it, it's just that Alex wasn't involved with that incident.

But wasn't Belkan enhancement limited to it's weilder only?

Yes, and so is Asuna's magic system. The difference is that the Neo and Ancient Belkan systems make usage of magi-links (which manifest visibly as the triangular Belkan magic sigil) to a certain extent, where Asuna's system doesn't use any magi-links.

Here's the way I think it works; magi-links bind magical power from the atmosphere into programs which affect the mage and her surroundings in different ways. This is done using the linker core to harness magical energy in the atmosphere. But the core and a mage's body also has its' own magic which works much like Ki or Chakra and is exclusively an internal energy source except for extraordinarily skilled mages who can force it to manifest externally like regular spells. A mage's ability to do this depends entire on their body's ability to channel and control that magic, which is far more difficult than using magi-links. This system has been obsolete for centuries, ever since the Ancient Belka system became widespread, but Carim still has a few training holocrons in the Church's archives which can help Asuna learn this system. It's also pretty much the only system she can use, since her natural AMF prevents her from using magi-links the way 50 ton weights keep an infant from learning to walk.

There exists the possibility of this system making Asuna's linker core powerful enough to overcome her own AMF to an extent. If this happens, and Asuna becomes able to harness environmental mana using magi-links, she'll be able to use something like the Magic/Ki combo she uses in the Mahou Sensei Negima manga to boost her power into the stratosphere.

Snake should have gotten stingers.

That was the AI playing as Snake he has the Stinger it’s a level 3 special (His level ones are a FAMAS and a Ranbu Super, his level two is a C4 bomb, and he has a second level three that’s just hilarious). He also has his pistol (with three firing modes), grenades which he can roll or throw in both HE and Stun versions, he can put claymores down on the ground, he has a roll that’s nearly a teleport since it passes through the enemy and he's invincible during it (good for moving out of a corner), and he can turn invisible. (which is cool, but not a ton of use on AI which still seems to be able to see you find… cheating bastard.)

She has it acutally, I almost lost round three when I was messing around trying to look for a chance to land it instead of just whacking the foe.

Well if you want to go ridiculous high-end then you also get stuff like snake SURFING A MISSILE and besting guys with bullet deflecting force fields and bullet dodging speed in single combat… Snake takes “badass normal” too it’s most outrageous extremes. He’s basically the video game version of batman at this point.

Sides Subaru isn't even that strong IMO at least not compared to guys that clearly have real super strength.

*10 PSM and 50 Zerks pile out of Rhinos as Obliteraters teleport in*

"Run you little blue bastards! Run as fast as your stubby little legs will carry you!"

Eldar are nearly as bad what with there psy-storm, jumping tansports and morale killing banshees.

Simply giving it an AI and not bothering with it beyond that could work at well. It has worked for Levantine and Eisen so far.

That's more or less how it acutally works with most of them, only a few of them acutally have NO AI, but none of the AIs really get any development or deep personalities.

The idea of a bow using Syn is relatively new, actually, so you were first. Though lately giving her no melee skills has been seriously bugging me, especially since me and my friends are scratching up on our fightin skills for the upcomming LARP. >_<

Well if she has actual decent defensive magic (which I recall she dose) I don't see the need for serious melee skills. Basically melee skills just seem to detract and distract from an archer or shooters main job which shooting. Just like how an MMO mage isn't going to carry a sword even if he was allowed to us it he'd use some kind of speed or defensive buff and run if anyone got close, not take out a blade and start slashing.

But this is mostly my opinion which is that a ranged fighter need melee skills allot less then a melee fighter needs a few ranged skills. Again I point to Yunno as well who held off Vita for at least a while without even having a weapon to speak off beyond barriers.

Probably. I remember Signum creating a huge 'wha?' reaction, but since we never actually saw her use her bow again, it quickly dwindled in favor of Teana's guns

It dose seem to have been totally forgotten doesn't it? I'd have liked to see her use it more myself I think it could have made her better rounded. Although it could also be a choice on her part as well since being a battle manic she seems to enjoy getting stuck into it almost as much as acutally winning. But yeah any thoughts of the bow seem to have been quickly forgotten when Teana "John Woo" Lanster showed up.

If there is one thing we don't have to wory about in Nanoha, its realistically accurate weaponry.

Yeah any worry about that went out the window when Vita decided it would be neat to impersonate a super-robot.

When typing that I "Tk is going to love this" did cross my mind.

Well this is just what happens when you look at a system of combat or system in general and make logical extrapolations based on its observed behavior.

Uh-huh, well, genderbending Tk conjurs this image in my head:



You underestimate the power of genderbending.

Na, way too cute, the hair is the wrong color and way too long, and it doesn't matter WHAT gender I am I'm never gonna wear a frikkin choker! like I said if I was bent I’d end up as a huge scruffy looking boyish sort of female IMO (since a good bending should be somewhat true to its targets original form).


This plus glasses and maybe a slightly lighter shade of hair is about the closest example I can think of.

Certain level would be a given (even Asuna isný immume to everything) by the looks of it elemental magic should still work. It can already pass through AMF in Nanoha, and Asuna herself was frozen solid by Eva too.

It must be noted though that it's pointed out in Manga spells that active outside the boundry and create something solid or a nonmagical energy can then enter it, but it's also said that trying to do even magic INSIDE an dense AMF will result in miserable failure one would tend to think this applies just as much to Elmental as regular spells as normal spells. (this is reinforced (no pun intended), by Reinforce delcration that this would render her helpless despite what seems to be an ice affinty.

[tshouryuu]

Here is a little something that SaintX has been cooking for sometime that I have edited. It is the frame work for a few future OCs, one of them being Kriss Lanster (krisslanza)

Spoiler for Otome system:

Z-Type Highly-advanced Magi-Linker-core Emulator...
~~~

Otomes... This is the name given to the users of a very new, highly advanced, prototype experimental system, created by Admiral Kyla and her team to allow even non-mages to wield some of the powers of a mage. Although it seems very similar in execution to the combat cyborg system pioneered by the infamous Jail Scagletti, it is actually more similar to artificial mages but does not violate any ethical nor safety standards.

This idea was conceived by Admiral Kyla after she returned to Midchilda and seeing the results of JS incident. Seeing the disaster due to insufficient mages, she decided to embark on the creation of a new flexible, emergency fighting force that can be made up of non-mages in order to increase the amount of mages combatants in times of need. The central core of this new fighting force is a system known as the AY-VX System or more simply as the FOUNDER system.

Little is known about the origins of the system, and information have been few and far between within the hard-knit secret organizations of the First Independent Research and Experimentation of Developments Group (FIRED), its armed group the AX and even the well known Central Science & Development Bureau (CSDB), suggesting that the Admiral had used much of her knowledge, resources and capabilities as the Scrya Clan Matriarch and her rank as Admiral to seek out the technology in order to make her fighting force a reality.

The only piece of information that is known is simply a rumor that Admiral Kyla had even traded some "favors" to the CSDB head director in order to adapt whatever technology she already had and to supplement those that she didn't as Director Tsuzuki already had created and is currently in the midst of testing another system that has technology, similar to what she had envisioned (See Personal File: Corporal Scien, for more info). However, this cannot be confirm as both subjects are not available for comment.

In a nutshell, the system is composed of mainly 2 Components, the Founder and the Otomes. The Founder is a specially designed AI, controlling the entire system and the Otomes are the end users of this Master AI. One common feature of all Otomes are that they all wear gemstone-like earring worn on the left ear. This is much similar to that of a client-server computer architecture with the Otomes as the clients and the Core as the server. Further information of the Founder, Otomes and the common features of their devices will be discussed in the later parts of this document.

While the this system seems rather unwieldy and troublesome at times, it is deliberately designed that way as a failsafe to ensure that the users do not ever go rogue with their newfound powers as a simple command from Amiya or any Authorized Personnel (referred to as a "Master") will deny access to their powers. This also prevents inexperienced users from trying to access more energy than they are able to handle, thus ensuring safety for all.


The Founder:
~~~

The Founder System is made up of a few different systems working together as a whole, of which the main one would be the Core which is the Focal point of the entire system. This is the Master AI, affectionately referred to as Amiya, and she controls all operations of the system, like creating the Barrier Robes of the Otomes, controlling the Linker core emulators, relaying commands, instructions and communications to the users under her and acts as the CPU for the devices that the Otome uses. This makes the entire system comparable to a gigantic emulated Intelligent Device.

While Amiya has the capability of handling all the loads placed upon her with ease, she has a secondary support system which will activate when she experiences unexpected heavy loads - such as long battles and/or when too many users are connected. It eases the load on her by taking some of the more mundane tasks like communication, protocols and various protection measures that guards the entire system against external threats. This would allow Amiya to concentrate on quickly processing other much vital tasks.

As a back up, there is another system known simply as the Surrogate System that is geared to activate for specific situations. It deals with high priority emergency situations, such as when Amiya and her support systems are completely unavailable. As it taps into its own limited power source, only the higher level Otomes are granted access to maximize its operational times.

While not mentioned before, all Otomes have a limited range before their abilities are cut off which is also controlled by Amiya and as of this moment, the range is still limited over the testing base. Any Otome that exceeds this range will activate the default overrides, which forces them to land if they're in flight and then once on the ground, completely deactivate all their emulated abilities. Otomes exceeding the limited range while in combat situations had been considered but due to operational secrecy, this will not be discussed in this document.

Other notes: There is a rumor surrounding the Core and those rare personnel (not including the Superior Officers of the group) that have physically seen it claim that it is really a coffin of a person named Amiya. Most other AX personnel would however scoff at this rumor and would suggest, with a wicked smile, that the believers should have their heads examined... perhaps by the crazy and extremely perverted Director Tsuzuki.


The Otome:
~~~

The Otome is normally nothing more than an ordinary person. What makes them special is the ability to wield Mana despite having no mage abilities and this is only possible due to the Z-Type Highly-advanced Magi-Linker-core Emulator... which gives rise to their names, Otomes.

The most important (or second most important) thing to an Otome would be their GEM device, the gemstone-like earring that they wear. Standing for General Enforcement Matrix, it is technically a self powered storage device that receives communications from the Master AI. Within it is a small rechargeable power source that powers it as well as the technology to create the Barrier Robes (As to not confuse them with normal mages) and also the weapons of the Otomes, termed "Elements".

Mentioned just before is the Barrier Robe. While its purpose is very similar to normal Barrier Jackets in that they both provide protection for the users, there are two major differences. Built into the Barrier Robes is a Linker Core emulator which is the cornerstone of this entire system. Without this linker core emulator, this concept would be completely unfeasible. How it works is slightly similar to the concept behind Accumulatory Cannonfire spells (e.g The Starlight Breaker spell of Captain Takamichi Nanoha) in which raw mana in the atmosphere is first collected and then converted for use by the emulator. As the technology behind this is still unstable, the Master AI Amiya is required to control the conversion and collection process via the GEM device. As a side effect of the Linker Core emulator built into the Barrier Robe, the overall level of protection provided is approximately half that of Barrier Jackets but the physical attributes of the Otomes are just slightly higher than average.

The other difference is that the Barrier Robes are very vulnerable under AMF conditions and when there is a scarcity of Mana in the atmosphere such as when the mana is being collected for an Accumulatory Cannonfire spell by a powerful mage. In both cases, the default overrides will kick in but to protect the Otomes, there is a Hypercapacitor System, basically a small protected emulation Mana pool, allowing them to get to safety. This mana pool is only accessible under these two conditions or when Amiya gives permission to use it. If permission is given, the Otome will be in a state known as "Miryoku", which is basically Full Drive forms for normal mages except there is a time limit- usually around 300 seconds and has a penalty after use- usually not being able to use any magic except the default provisions of the Barrier Robe.

This next part will discuss the armaments of the Otomes, their 'Elements". For most Otomes, this is a standard weapon which is in the shape of a stave. It is comparable to the standard arm devices of Neo-Belka users but as it is not a real device, it has the vulnerabilities similar to their Barrier Robes. Conversely, since it is an emulated weapon, breaking or losing it is not a big problem for the Otome as the weapon can be simply be reformed almost all the time.

The other part of their armaments are the ribbons located below the bow on their lower backs. While not strictly a weapon, they are useful for a variety of stuff but it all depends on the imaginations of the Otome as they are extremely versatile. The better Otomes can use them in combat like weapons but how is strictly up to the individual. Most of the time, the Otomes don't use them as it requires quite a bit of training in order to use them at all.

~~~

Other notes
~~~
While the technology is not exclusive to females only despite the name of Otome, there are no guys who joined in the program. The most common reason cited was that they refused to wear a barrier robe that is mostly hot pink in colour which was the default colour of the normal otome barrier robes as chosen by Amiya.

Thoughts?

In WoW, nothing stops males from wearing a Hot Pink Dress, and frankly no one does because of other reasons that far outweighs looks, so if a system is good, why aren't there some guys?

(I confess, I can't keep a straight face while writing this post. )

The Knight-sisters in the combat wings of the Adeptae Belkarum use Precious Robes, and a remarkably similar system, and their gender-segregation is simply because they've always been an all-girl army, and with their being tied to the Light of the Kaiser (who is female) via divinated Sparks, it pretty much eliminates all chance of a male entering the Convent.

Simply put: maybe Amiya just doesn't like powering guys?

Neither can I.

Of course, in City of Heroes, costumes are not tied to game mechanics, and customizability is much-vaunted, which means that you can get some utterly horrendous sartorial abominations.

Makes for some fun roleplaying.

Guy: Hey, you tore my fashionably gorgeous new outfit!

Me: It's called assisted suicide. And no jury in the world will convict me.

[Kha]

And just to drive home the point, Cloth-armor classes are almost always DOOMED to wear gowns and robes in WoW, because all their best armor are as such. Some rebels have resorted to other itemizations, but they then lack the stats of a fully "gowned" player. Hence one of the reasons why I instinctively avoid playing mages, priests and the all-powerful Warlock.

Sadly, the plate-encased Paladins once had such an experience years ago; one of our armor sets turned us into Priests in gold. To me, it was a nightmare. (I've since changed my take on it, as came Blazer who made that gold dress look badass.)

However, bottomline was, a period of time I sucked up my RP-pride and wore a dress because it was good stats. That goes to show how a powerful system will attract people despite the looks.



@dkellis: That indeed, especially when you are leveling, you just upgrade piece for piece and ignore looks, resulting in a monstrosity that a veteran can immediately tell "Freshly Leveled". It's basically the game's subtle push for you to go and raid for a set of cool armor and in doing so play and pay more.

I'd gladly give a Gnome in a Hot Pink Dress a wardrobe malfunction, for the luls and brainsplatters that would follow. Going along with the RP:

Me: In the name of Victoria's Secret, I purge this fashion daemon!

That's because MMO's are stat-based, and swords generally have lower caster stats. In WoW you have several caster swords, which are pretty popular weaponry. In LARP's you see many mages carying swords, because casting spells takes time, and when you are fighting multiple enemies, having a sword to fend of while casting those spells is virtually a necesity.

I know, and its mostly my expertise with melee, and lack with ranged weaponry rearing its head. Its also much easier to write dramatic battlescenes with melee weapons, as having two people talking to eachother with melee weapons in hands is easier to read and write then doing the same with ranged weaponry.

But yeah any thoughts of the bow seem to have been quickly forgotten when Teana "John Woo" Lanster showed up.

I'll admit that my main source of inspiration was more playing Fate/Stay Night rather then watching A's too.

Actually, any worry about that went out the window when Fate showed up wielding a scythe.

Very true.

Spoiler for Otome system:

Z-Type Highly-advanced Magi-Linker-core Emulator...
~~~

Otomes... This is the name given to the users of a very new, highly advanced, prototype experimental system, created by Admiral Kyla and her team to allow even non-mages to wield some of the powers of a mage. Although it seems very similar in execution to the combat cyborg system pioneered by the infamous Jail Scagletti, it is actually more similar to artificial mages but does not violate any ethical nor safety standards.

This idea was conceived by Admiral Kyla after she returned to Midchilda and seeing the results of JS incident. Seeing the disaster due to insufficient mages, she decided to embark on the creation of a new flexible, emergency fighting force that can be made up of non-mages in order to increase the amount of mages combatants in times of need. The central core of this new fighting force is a system known as the AY-VX System or more simply as the FOUNDER system.

Little is known about the origins of the system, and information have been few and far between within the hard-knit secret organizations of the First Independent Research and Experimentation of Developments Group (FIRED), its armed group the AX and even the well known Central Science & Development Bureau (CSDB), suggesting that the Admiral had used much of her knowledge, resources and capabilities as the Scrya Clan Matriarch and her rank as Admiral to seek out the technology in order to make her fighting force a reality.

The only piece of information that is known is simply a rumor that Admiral Kyla had even traded some "favors" to the CSDB head director in order to adapt whatever technology she already had and to supplement those that she didn't as Director Tsuzuki already had created and is currently in the midst of testing another system that has technology, similar to what she had envisioned (See Personal File: Corporal Scien, for more info). However, this cannot be confirm as both subjects are not available for comment.

In a nutshell, the system is composed of mainly 2 Components, the Founder and the Otomes. The Founder is a specially designed AI, controlling the entire system and the Otomes are the end users of this Master AI. One common feature of all Otomes are that they all wear gemstone-like earring worn on the left ear. This is much similar to that of a client-server computer architecture with the Otomes as the clients and the Core as the server. Further information of the Founder, Otomes and the common features of their devices will be discussed in the later parts of this document.

While the this system seems rather unwieldy and troublesome at times, it is deliberately designed that way as a failsafe to ensure that the users do not ever go rogue with their newfound powers as a simple command from Amiya or any Authorized Personnel (referred to as a "Master") will deny access to their powers. This also prevents inexperienced users from trying to access more energy than they are able to handle, thus ensuring safety for all.


The Founder:
~~~

The Founder System is made up of a few different systems working together as a whole, of which the main one would be the Core which is the Focal point of the entire system. This is the Master AI, affectionately referred to as Amiya, and she controls all operations of the system, like creating the Barrier Robes of the Otomes, controlling the Linker core emulators, relaying commands, instructions and communications to the users under her and acts as the CPU for the devices that the Otome uses. This makes the entire system comparable to a gigantic emulated Intelligent Device.

While Amiya has the capability of handling all the loads placed upon her with ease, she has a secondary support system which will activate when she experiences unexpected heavy loads - such as long battles and/or when too many users are connected. It eases the load on her by taking some of the more mundane tasks like communication, protocols and various protection measures that guards the entire system against external threats. This would allow Amiya to concentrate on quickly processing other much vital tasks.

As a back up, there is another system known simply as the Surrogate System that is geared to activate for specific situations. It deals with high priority emergency situations, such as when Amiya and her support systems are completely unavailable. As it taps into its own limited power source, only the higher level Otomes are granted access to maximize its operational times.

While not mentioned before, all Otomes have a limited range before their abilities are cut off which is also controlled by Amiya and as of this moment, the range is still limited over the testing base. Any Otome that exceeds this range will activate the default overrides, which forces them to land if they're in flight and then once on the ground, completely deactivate all their emulated abilities. Otomes exceeding the limited range while in combat situations had been considered but due to operational secrecy, this will not be discussed in this document.

Other notes: There is a rumor surrounding the Core and those rare personnel (not including the Superior Officers of the group) that have physically seen it claim that it is really a coffin of a person named Amiya. Most other AX personnel would however scoff at this rumor and would suggest, with a wicked smile, that the believers should have their heads examined... perhaps by the crazy and extremely perverted Director Tsuzuki.


The Otome:
~~~

The Otome is normally nothing more than an ordinary person. What makes them special is the ability to wield Mana despite having no mage abilities and this is only possible due to the Z-Type Highly-advanced Magi-Linker-core Emulator... which gives rise to their names, Otomes.

The most important (or second most important) thing to an Otome would be their GEM device, the gemstone-like earring that they wear. Standing for General Enforcement Matrix, it is technically a self powered storage device that receives communications from the Master AI. Within it is a small rechargeable power source that powers it as well as the technology to create the Barrier Robes (As to not confuse them with normal mages) and also the weapons of the Otomes, termed "Elements".

Mentioned just before is the Barrier Robe. While its purpose is very similar to normal Barrier Jackets in that they both provide protection for the users, there are two major differences. Built into the Barrier Robes is a Linker Core emulator which is the cornerstone of this entire system. Without this linker core emulator, this concept would be completely unfeasible. How it works is slightly similar to the concept behind Accumulatory Cannonfire spells (e.g The Starlight Breaker spell of Captain Takamichi Nanoha) in which raw mana in the atmosphere is first collected and then converted for use by the emulator. As the technology behind this is still unstable, the Master AI Amiya is required to control the conversion and collection process via the GEM device. As a side effect of the Linker Core emulator built into the Barrier Robe, the overall level of protection provided is approximately half that of Barrier Jackets but the physical attributes of the Otomes are just slightly higher than average.

The other difference is that the Barrier Robes are very vulnerable under AMF conditions and when there is a scarcity of Mana in the atmosphere such as when the mana is being collected for an Accumulatory Cannonfire spell by a powerful mage. In both cases, the default overrides will kick in but to protect the Otomes, there is a Hypercapacitor System, basically a small protected emulation Mana pool, allowing them to get to safety. This mana pool is only accessible under these two conditions or when Amiya gives permission to use it. If permission is given, the Otome will be in a state known as "Miryoku", which is basically Full Drive forms for normal mages except there is a time limit- usually around 300 seconds and has a penalty after use- usually not being able to use any magic except the default provisions of the Barrier Robe.

This next part will discuss the armaments of the Otomes, their 'Elements". For most Otomes, this is a standard weapon which is in the shape of a stave. It is comparable to the standard arm devices of Neo-Belka users but as it is not a real device, it has the vulnerabilities similar to their Barrier Robes. Conversely, since it is an emulated weapon, breaking or losing it is not a big problem for the Otome as the weapon can be simply be reformed almost all the time.

The other part of their armaments are the ribbons located below the bow on their lower backs. While not strictly a weapon, they are useful for a variety of stuff but it all depends on the imaginations of the Otome as they are extremely versatile. The better Otomes can use them in combat like weapons but how is strictly up to the individual. Most of the time, the Otomes don't use them as it requires quite a bit of training in order to use them at all.

~~~

Other notes
~~~
While the technology is not exclusive to females only despite the name of Otome, there are no guys who joined in the program. The most common reason cited was that they refused to wear a barrier robe that is mostly hot pink in colour which was the default colour of the normal otome barrier robes as chosen by Amiya.

Thoughts?

I keep wondering why woman from a clan of archeologists would go ahead and create battle units...

There is surely one or two guys who don't care about something like that (And even it's someone like Ginka from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki ).

*Raises hand* I get to use magic, awesome weapons and, most importantly, fly and all I have to do is wear a pink robe? I don't think the fact I'm wearing a pink robe will register in my head untill I get over the initial 'I get to fly!' rush.

However, bottomline was, a period of time I sucked up my RP-pride and wore a dress because it was good stats. That goes to show how a powerful system will attract people despite the looks.

The shoulders and helmets were worth it. In fact, I still think that to this day, Judgement was worth the robe, 100%.

There has never been a more awesome Pally armor ever since.

Don't look at me. I didn't make it. It was amusing to see how many of these questions fit to stories that I've actually read though.

Also the point of the test was to make an original story. Although that concept is pretty much flawed from the start.

I reckon it's fine as is.

Exactly my point. And after you get used to it, you'll somehow kid yourself into thinking otherwise. Such is the human mind.

And here's probably the biggest point: you're in a unit ultimately dominated by girls! You'd either be hen-pecked or King of the Harem, and there are people who go for either situation.

Took me hell long to grab everything, and then I sold him because at that time I felt WoW had become pointless.

And thinking back, was that helm reponsible for me masking Kha...? I've absolutely no recollection of that but the resemblance is uncanny...

Now I've rerolled into a Hunter, but Khathecleric is making a comeback. Maybe I'll grab all the imitation blues for the new set!

Hell even guys in FPS do it when there no stat bonus to speak off and unlike you guys I have picture proof!

- Canon timelines, characters, and concepts are going to be the primary advantages I can see. We don't have to ask for confirmation on the differences between Knight's Garb and Knight's Armour; if it's not known, we can say so. If new information comes out, we can edit it.

- Current candidates for wiki hosting are BluWiki and Wikispaces. This is entirely because I don't want to bother with anything more complicated than "sign up and go". If anyone else has a better alternative, I'm open to suggestions.

- From previous experience, the main hurdles are going to be migration and maintenance.

- Migration: You'll have to copy your characters (and stories, if you want) to a whole new location, and learn a new formatting system. BluWiki and Wikispaces use MediaWiki, which Wikipedia uses (and more or less sponsors). I'm also conversant in PmWiki, plus the custom style TVTropes uses. Hence, I know how hard it is to convert from, say, BBCode to MediaWiki. It's extra work, pretty much.

- Maintenance: While the wiki content technically maintains itself, the primary problem I experienced with previous wikis is spam. Spambots are going to start converging on any remotely-open wiki, so either I'll need a dedicated group of people who are willing to check the wiki every day to remove spam edits, or we pray that the wiki hosting has a spam-control solution.

Any further suggestions or alternatives? I'm willing to pass the reins on to someone else with more ideas on what to do, if necessary.

Also, start thinking of names for the wiki, to save time. Both as a site name, as well as a domain space (ie blahblah.wikispaces.com or something).

EDIT TO ADD: Incidentally, for full disclosure: the wiki will be made anyway, since I wanted to make a wiki for my own characters anyway (for my own convenience). I just figured that I should offer to expand on the concept, to make it a community thing rather than a personal endeavour.

I'll be waiting a day or two for replies and opinions. If there's nothing concrete by then, I'll start it anyway.

EDIT AGAIN: Also, if there are no name suggestions, I'll come up with my own. And I really suck at naming.

Think of it as an incentive.

EDIT YET AGAIN: If you need an example of what I'm thinking about, something like this, although probably not as refined, since I also suck at site design. (Another volunteer position, there.) It's pretty much just a character repository with convenient wiki-linking capability.

Thanks for the effort, Dk.
Will be joining there eevntually.:3

リインフォース消滅後ははやて個人の魔力のみですが、魔法の運用が滞りなくできてるのはリインフォースの残 した遺産のおかげということで。

-リインフォースの遺産とは?
都築 「魔力運用と、現在保有している魔法の使い方」についての知識とか...。
たとえば普通の人が、ものすごく高性能のコンピュータをぽんと渡されたとして、やりたいことがあっても知識 や経験が無い状態だとなにもできないじゃないですか。
ソフトが入っていても、何を立ち上げてどんな項目を選択すればいいのかもわからない。
リインフォースが残したものは、はやてが自分のパソコンを操作するための情報を懇切丁寧に書き込んだ、分厚 いマニュアルみたいなものなんだと思います。
「××をしたい時は、○○を立ち上げて△△を選択して」みたいな。
リインフォースが使えたり、魔導書に蒐集された魔法に関する情報や使い方をマニュアル化したものがはやての 記憶に記録されていて、はやてはそれを参照することで魔法を使える...という感じじゃないん でしょうか。
だから、リインフォースができたことは大抵はやてもできるし、当面は困らない。
ただ、これから新しいことをやっていこうと思ったら、多少の応用はきいてもやっぱり最初から覚えなきゃいけ ないと思いますけど。

-はやても修行するタイプですか?
都築 必要に応じて勉強や習得はもちろんしていくとは思いますが、なのはやフェイトとは若干方向性が違うかもしれ ません。
なのはやフェイトは、どこか「競技者」な面がありますから、習得や鍛錬の方向性が最終的に「自分個人がより 強く、上手く」ということ帰結する。
単一戦力として強くなることに価値を見いだす....強い自分を武器に仲間の役に立つというか 。
エース体質なんだと思います。
でもはやては、自分個人が万能・無敵になる必要は必ずしも無いと思っている部分あるんじゃない かと。
自分の守護騎士たちをより動きやすい形で動かしてあげられるようにするとか、一緒に事態に当たる仲間たちの 能力を認識した上で、最適で最上の支援法を選択するとか...。
はやての思考はそういう方面にむいているかと思います。育ってきた環境も、なのはやフェイトは常に「自分が 」何かをしなくてはならない状況だったのに対して、はやてはいつも誰かに何かをしてもらっていて、それに対 して自分が何をしてあげられるか、ということを考えてきた面があると思うので...。

-むしろクロノに似ていますか?
都築 はい。クロノとはやては気が合いそうです(笑)。
能力を競う「競技者」ななのはやフェイトに対して、クロノやはやては、球技のキャプテンや監督のような感じ で...。
陸上や水泳のような競技は、能力で明らかに劣っているものが上の立場の敵に勝つことはほぼ不可能ですが、実 際の戦闘や球技のようなゲームであれば、そうでもない。
はやてやクロノは、そういう状況で戦略とかゲームメイキングに気が回るタイプなんじゃないかと 。
ちなみに、なのはとフェイトは自分の速球がうたれたら「もっと速い球を投げられるようになろう」と思う人た ちだと思います(笑)。

-はやてと融合型デバイスの設定は、どちらが先につくられたのですか?
都築 はやてのほうが先です。
初期では闇の書は「望まずして突然持たされてしまった大きすぎる力」というだけで、そのほかの設定はそれほ ど細かく決まっていませんでしたが...。

-ところで、はやての料理は誰かに教わったのでしょうか?
都築 基本的には、図書館で独学とか何じゃないでしょうか。
多分ヴォルケンズ(ヴォルケンリッターたち)がくるまでは、ひとりで趣味としていろんなものを作っては「ひ とりやと食べきれへんなー」とかしょんぼりして冷凍保存したり、大人数向けの料理を「作ってみたいなー」と 思いつつあきらめていたのが、急に家族が4人も増えて一気に情熱に火がついたんじゃないかと。
自分が庇護したい相手がいて、その人たちが自分を頼りにしてくれるというのは、はやてにとってはとてつもな くうれしいことですし、そういう場はどこまでもがんばれる子だと思うので...。
逆に言うと自分個人のためにはあんまりがんばる気がないってことだったりもするんですが...
そういう意味では、はやてはエースよりも指揮官向きで、同時に騎士たちや、自分が生み出したリインフォース Ⅱの母親でいるのが一番居心地のいい場所なんじゃないでしょうか。

Spoiler for Translation:

-In the last scene of A's ep13,Hayate was going to transform.Does she have transform skill?
Tsuzuki I think Hayate had mana of quantity same as Nanoha and Fate or slightly more than them if she healthy grew up.
All of her mana was forcibly made to save into "The book of the darkness" and she regained it entirely after awakening.
When she was fighting in ep12,it was the state that savings and mana of Reinforce were united.
After Reinforce disappeared,she has only mana of own.But she can use magic without stress,because there is the inheritance which Reinforce left.

-What's Reinforce's inheritance?
Tsuzuki It's a thing such as the knowledge about "the management of mana and the usage of magic".
For example,If a common person suddenly got a very high-performance PC,he cannot do what he want to do because there are not knowledge and experience.
Even if software was installed,he does not know what application he should start and which menu he should select.
I think Reinforce gave Hayate a thing like the very thick manual which Reinforce exhaustively and painstakingly wrote in information for Hayate to operate her PC
Like "When you want to do ××,start ○○ and select △△".
Information about magic Reinforce used and collected by Knights recorded in memory of Hayate,and she can use magic by referring to it.
So,Hayate can do most thing Reinforce can do and she is not troubled with using magic for the time being.
But,When she is going to do that is totally new, she must parctice and train it from a beginning.

-Is Hayate a type to train herself,too?
Tsuzuki (omit)

-If anything, is she the type that resemble Chrono?
Tsuzuki (omit)

-Which did you plot earlier,Hayate or the Unison device?
Tsuzuki (omit)

-By the way,did Hayate learn cooking by somebody else?
Tsuzuki (omit)

I translated only a point about the magic. Excuse omitting other part.

THanks for translating! That cleared up some of the conflicting ideas I had.

BTW, would you mind if I asked what Tsuzuki said in

-Is Hayate a type to train herself,too?
