Probably only if he's from Japan, so I guess not. Subaru's name is always written "Personal-Family" order, despite sort of being a Japanese name.

He can traverse dimensions with the aid of a specific artifact. He plans to return to Earth and then sacrifice it.

Cool, officially approval-ize. Although you probably don't need a special artifact if you don't want one. I can remember more than one character doing dimensional transports through spells alone.

alright, it'll be just a spell. The artifact will be a funny lampshading of a MacGuffin, as Vonh Trevor says, "Oh no, you destroyed the artifact...that was sealing Maeldregor. Good luck fighting him."

Start without me, zzz. I've got a lot of stuff to do... I'll join up eventually, but not for a little while.

At least, I think you're waiting on me...

Here I go!


  • Name: Wilbur Countach

  • Age: 14

  • Place of Origin: Mid-Childa

  • Gender: Male

  • Appearance: Wilbur is shorter than average, and has black hair. His eyes are blue. He often wears a loose-fitting cassock, which is coloured grey and red. Underneath the cassock he wears tan-coloured cargo pants, and a black, thin long-sleeved shirt.

  • Personality: A bit haughty, and often (wrongly) assumes his skills are better than they really are. He's slightly excitable, as well. For the most part, however, he is a dependable ally, always willing to lend a hand. His height is a sore point.

  • History: Grew up in Mid-Childa, his father (a Mage himself) helping him to develop his magical skills - but he always kept a close eye on him, ensuring that Wilbur never did something destructive. If he did, he was often frogmarched over to the owner of the property/person, and forced to apologise. Wilbur naturally didn't like this one bit, and yearned for a chance to actually do something, preferably helpful to society at large, as he modelled himself on heroes. Thus, he soon found himself signing up with the TSAB. After a lot of hard work, eventually he ended up in Ghost Team.

  • Position: Centre Guard

  • Device: Turbine Zenith, a Device that roughly resembles a jet engine merged with a musket, coloured black. Wilbur gains a eyepiece with readouts. When it is not summoned, it appears as a bracelet. It has access to a cartridge system.
    • Turbine Zenith - Air Cutter: This mode is for close combat, creating a large bayonet at the barrel, turning the rifle itself into little more than a glorified shaft for it.

  • Barrier Jacket: Resembles his cassock, but has an intricate design weaved into it consisting of linear lines. It also appears to be made of a lighter material than his normal clothes, granting him greater freedom of movement. It is also red and grey. His shoes become bulkier to accomodate small jumpjets. His mana colour is light blue.

  • Abilities:

    • Flight: The aforementioned small jumpjets grant this.

  • Normal Magic:

  • Battler Flash: This is a transport spell in the vein of a Flash Step, allowing Wilbur to teleport rapidly. However, he needs to have line of sight with wherever he is going to teleport, even if he "knows" where the target is. He mostly uses the spell for evasion, but occasionally uses it for offensive purposes, teleporting to a foe before attacking and disappearing again.
    • Gale Barrage: This spell summons multiple lasers, capable of tracking their target. They are fairly weak, though.
    • Power Blow (Turbine Zenith only): This requires two cartridges to use (and has a charge-up time of 1-5 seconds), but in return is a strong beam capable of overwhelming weak-medium strength barriers.
    • Fighter Edge (Air Cutter only): This augments the bayonet's cutting power with magic, allowing Wilbur's attacks to be more effective.

He's a bit shorter than the average height of someone for his age - in relation to other characters (say, the other members of Ghost Team) he's probably shorter than them, though not to a serious degree.

Alright, here's my adversary. I didn't know how strong you wanted the adversaries to be zzz so I set her up with her ideal magic "build" so to say. If it's too much I'll nerf the offender abilities.

  • Name: Akira Kurosawa
  • Age: 16
  • Place of Origin: TSAB
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: Long hair dyed a bright orange color and tied into a single side tail to the right. She also has blue eyes, is slightly tall for her age and has a fairly athletic body.
  • Personality: Akira is a bright, polite and warm young woman who tries to be optimistic at all times. She's a hard worker, determined and quite responsible with an excellent ability to manage tension and stress. However all of this only applies superficially. Akira doesn't rightly know what to do with free time, so when given nothing to do she grows incredibly nervous and restless. She feels a constant urge to improve herself and a deep seated fear of failure coupled with a great deal of guilt. She will not allow herself to show any weakness at any time and slowly but surely the pressure of living constantly at the test is slowly building up. At the rate she lives her life she will most likely break.
  • History: Born as the younger and more introverted of a pair of twins she lived her early life protected and supported by her older sister. When both girls were only 6 years old their home was destroyed due to an accident involving a Lost Logia the TSAB was attempting to secure. During this incident her older sister Minami exhibited prodigious amounts of magical power as she stopped the flames of the explosion from affecting her little sister. However she didn't come out of this unscarred as her untrained use of magic ended up causing severe injuries to her body. During the confusion of the rescues Akira and Minami were taken into care by Scaglietti's organization. They expected to heal Minami and make use of her powers, unfortunately by the time they got their hands on the girl her state was so severe she couldn't be salvaged. Instead they decided to use Akira instead, hoping the younger twin would prove as talented as the unconscious one. Akira agreed to work and train for them willingly as long as there was hope that her sister would recover. Since then she has been put through a rigorous training lasting from morning until late in the night which gave Akira barely enough time to collapse exhausted into the bed. While her skills were barely above the average Akira proved to be the most stable person to result from such a grueling training. What she doesn't know is that her sister, which she gets to visit every time she succeeds at an assignment, has been dead for five years. The machines which Akira believe are keeping her sister alive and slowly improving her health are only there to make her body simulate a deep sleep. The lie has been perpetuate since the hope of recovering Minami has been a great motivation for Akira to continue fighting.
  • Device: Gungnir - A cold blue device shaped in the form of a spear crossed with a rifle. The spearhead is split in two by the lower part allowing the magic of the cartridge system and physical projectiles to leave the weapon as they are fired.
  • Barrier Jacket: Consisting of a short black top, white shorts, boots and long white jacket with little blue details over all. Besides these she also wears mechanical devices on her arms and head to further improve her combat capabilities.
  • Abilities:
    • Normal Magic:
      • Flight
      • Attack Shooting Spell - Snipe Shoot - A long range spell with fairly good accuracy and firepower. Akira's variant requires a projectile and a cartridge to power it.
      • Support Decline Spell - Cold Nova - Summons a construct similar to a miniature black hole, which absorbs both heat and magic in the area in which it is summoned. In only a couple of seconds an area of around a 100 meters around it will reach a temperature of 0 °C. All magical attacks passing through it's area of influence will lose some of their strength. This is a spell of great importance to Akira as it allows her to set a sort of buffer zone between herself and her foes as she attacks from great distances.
      • Defense Shield Spell - Ice Shield
      • Capture Bind Spell - Steel Chain - A bind spell which summons ice cold chains to bind the target's movement.
      • Support Transport - Recall - Allows Akira to instantly transport to up to two locations marked by a sigil she has to manually place in the place she wishes to return to.
  • Special Skills:
    • Snipe Time - An Ability acquired thanks to the mechanical devices she wears. It allows her to aim quickly in situations of great stress, allowing her to snipe even when attacked from medium and short range fighting.

The only thing I'd say is that the temperature black hole thing needs at the very least a long-ish (at least in the context of the verse) cast time, and only a few zones active at a time. Since spamming it would be pretty unfair.

Three minutes casting time and maximum three zones active at once seems fair?

Hmmm since activating the Cold Nova would put people on the alert of her presence, maybe she can wait three minutes to prepare the spell but delay the activation after she has taken her shot?

That sounds fine. The delayed thing is okay as well. I was mostly worried about using the fields to spam frostbite/brainfreeze-like effects until the opponent is incapacitated.

I won't make any ruling on mandatory series knowledge, but it would definitely help to watch at least a few clips or something to get a feel of the 'verse.

That said, if you propose a character idea I'll certainly work with you smoothing out the details.

Alright, here's an attempt at a character sheet.

  • Name: Athena Rëimes

  • Age: 14

  • Place of Origin: Ruwella

  • Gender: Female

  • Appearance: Athena is a somewhat tall, leggy platinum blond with piercing red eyes and chin length hair.

  • Personality: Athena is generally hostile towards strangers, her attitude comes off as abrasive in an informal attitude and is naturally untrusting. But she acts very professionally when the situation requires her to. She does however, treat those she knows well enough with kindness, particularly those within or with affiliation with the Saint Church. Because of her past, she Does Not Like Men, and generally maintains a detachment when having to interact with them.

  • History: Athena was born on the world of Ruwella, during her childhood she found it difficult to make friends, she was often teased by her peers, which were mostly boys, which only became worse when she discovered that she was magically inclined. As her personality became more spiteful she began to lash out at those around her with unsophisticated magical attacks. Her attitude quickly became uncontrollable and she was forcibly placed in the care of the Saint Church where she was trained to control her magical energy, and taught how to control her own impulses. Eventually she was transferred to the main branch on Mid-childa where she applied to the TSBA to provide a useful outlet for her destructive urges, becoming a member of Ghost team.

  • Position: Forward Striker

  • Device: Longinus, a red colored orb attached to a long arm bracelet. When in combat mode, forms a crimson steel colored gauntlet and a small shield like unit mounted onto it. A large, long lance like drill being affixed at the front. An Ancient Belkan-type weapon equip with an automatic pump action cartridge system.

    • Barrier Jacket: Consists of a black tank top, a red short sleeved collared short jacket, a belted black short skirt, Red hairclips, and a pair of low heeled thigh high boots.

  • Abilities:
    • Normal Magic:
      • Flight
      • Quick Step: For a split second can move faster then the eye can see; when used in conjunction with melee attack becomes Quick Attack.
      • Mirage Duplex: Creates false images of self that are dispelled upon being attacked.
      • Glanzen Bohrer: Longinus expends a cartridge, spending a few moments to charge and infuses its drill with a powerful magical energy for maximum penetration.
      • Gewitter Schwall: Requires a cartridge, the drill begins to emit multiple bolts of lighting, which shoots and arcs wildly from the source. Inaccurate but powerful, the strength of which increases the more magic saturates the area.
      • Panzer Schild: A shield type defense spell.

Overall it seems like an interesting idea, the biggest thing that stands out to me is Fake Silhouette is actually the signature technique of one of the canon characters, and is known to require significant amounts of concentration/magic to work, so it might not suit a brawler very well. Also, Flash Stepping is generally reserved for Fragile Speedster and Glass Cannon builds, but if you really want to keep it, consider a different name, as "Flash Move" is Nanoha's (or perhaps Raising Heart's) specific name for it.

Other than that, though it seems a bit overpowered, I love the idea of Gewitter Schwall's sort of close-range Starlight-Breaker-ness. Maybe that's a move that Athena (maybe come up with a last name?) works with Nanoha on perfecting over the course of the plot, considering that the White Devil's hissatsu waza works on a similar principle.

Okay, those are my thoughts, now opening the floor to any of the other players who want to say something. Also, feel free to argue with anything I say. I won't guarantee anything will change if you do, but I don't want to seem like a complete Omnipotent Arbitrator (tm).

#50: Jan 24th 2011 at 9:58:24 AM

  • Name: Reaver, General of Vengeance
  • Age: 2-3 years old
  • Place of Origin: Mid-Childa, Project Weather-Breaker Facility
  • Gender: Female from appearance, but in actuality has no gender
  • Appearance: Topping out at almost six feet tall, Reaver is gigantic compared to most mages it seems. When she was designed Reaver was given a very feminine shape, much to the amusement of several of the designers, one of which said that “This robot will be the kind that turns heads right before lopping them off”. However, even though Reaver looks very feminine, it would be a bad mistake to think of her as fragile. Reaver’s body is assembled out of magic reinforced armor plating, which serves a purpose as a really heavy set of Knight Armor. Colored in White, Pink, and Gold, she stands out like a sore thumb anywhere she goes. It doesn’t help that the designers included a pair of angelic wings to assist in flight control as well, which just adds to strangeness of the design.
  • Personality: Reaver is quiet, cold, and very determined to get her vengeance. Until you push her buttons, then she turns hot, full of fury, and can’t keep her voice from reaching shouting levels. Her basic personality is based slightly on Signum, but fearing that a robot that was so close to Signum might have problems fighting her, her personality was given an overhaul.
  • History: After the Book of Darkness incident, where Hayate Yagami and her knights were taken into TSAB custody, fears were raised among some parties about her temperament considering the near absurd amount of power she possessed while being so young. General Raiz at the time was especially concerned, given that he had pushed for criminal charges to laid and had been denied. Worried that Yagami and her knights might turn on the TSAB, Raiz quietly ordered countermeasures to be drawn up to deal with her knights. It was quickly realized that training any special group of Mages would draw attention, as any mage sufficiently powerful enough to directly challenge Vita, Signum or Zafria, would already be noted by others in the TSAB and attention would be drawn to the effects to turn them into anti-knight mages. So Raiz went another direction and ordered the creation of artificial means to deal with the Knights. Rather than use the Artificial Mage creation process, with lead to creation of Fate and Erio, the creators of Project Weather-Breaker worked on a series of Drones to take them out. However, the drone design instead was turned into creating a synthetic combat machine, literally a magical robot based on a human form to fight the Knights. The result was the first initial prototype, nicknamed Inferno General, based heavily on Signum. Inferno General is a fully sentient AI, very similar to an intelligent device. However, the program ran into problems. Just like an Intelligent Device, Inferno General had the ability to reject commands. It was too late to change its programming, so an attempt was made to forcefully take the AI offline. As far as Raiz knew, it had…by collapsing the entire underground testing area on top of it, burying it more than a mile under the ground. However, Inferno did survive, renaming itself Reaver and swearing to avenge it fellows. For it was not the only one buried under the ground. The other two prototypes, considered kin by the first one, were also buried, but damaged beyond repair. Having never come online, the other two would have been based on Vita and a close ally of Yagami’s, Takamachi. It took months of digging for Reaver to come to surface, and it is close to making a break through…
  • Position: Frontline Assault, (original specification when asked during development)
  • Device: As an AI inside a robotic body, Reaver literally is her own device. Powered by a magical reactor, she does use the Cartridge system to power some of her weapons, such as her bow and shield, but she doesn’t need them totally to function in combat.
  • Barrier Jacket: See Appearance
  • Abilities: It should be noted that unlike the vast number of mages and drones, Reaver does not need to exactly verbalize her attacks. She sometimes does still though, although it might be a side effect of her personality at times.
    • Normal Magic:
      • Reaper Shot – Reaver charges up her bow and unleashes what appears to be a bolt of magical energy which shoots through the air with a scream that is ear-piercing. In actuality, it creates a solid projectile inside the energy bolt and hurls it at a target. This classifies it as a mass based weapon, and thus is highly illegal in TSAB jurisdiction.
      • Blast Shot – Reaver charges up her bow and fires a burning projectile from it, causing an explosion upon impact.
      • Shield Buster – Firing a bolt of red energy from her shield, this serves as Reaver’s secondary ranged attack while she is wielding her sword.
      • Knight Rapier – This is less of an attack and more just verbalizing the activation of her sword’s energy blade.
      • Burning Angel Kaboom! – Reaver’s supposed ultimate attack, she renamed it, deciding the original name of “Suicide Strike” was too boring. Literally, Reaver surrounds herself in burning magic while wielding her sword and just rams herself into a target area, setting off an explosion. This was designed as a last ditch attack if Signum proved too hard to take down. Obviously, Reaver does not use this on just anyone, as it stands a good chance of disabling herself as well.
    • Special Skills (if applicable): N/A
