Well, a battle team composed solely of Strikers could be interesting too.

I suppose I could switch over to gunner as well. But do you think we're set as far as native Japanese?

Almost done with my gunner. Was considering a linker but direct combat is more my dudes style and bombs are cool weapons.

Going by actual racial percentages in Japan, probably not. But it's probably fine to make foreigners, as long as there's a reason why they're in the Japanese academy rather than elsewhere???

Heh, yup. I'm still writing my own Gunner. She's almost done, though.

Just going to throw in a post that I'm currently linking up a Linker, if that's no problem. I'd say it's around halfway done, and it should be ready pretty soon, hopefully.

Well, this place certainly got much more active in the last few hours than I was imagining. Anyway let’s begin with the important stuff.

@MsMorningstar
Your character is ok with me as well. You can more her to the CS tab.

@OliveYou
As long you are sure that you wanna play a character that has little to no combat abilities, she’s ok on my end. Wait for @TheWindel’s opinion.

And I'm guessing students can't take their Armaments out of school grounds? Is there a similar lock in place for their psychic powers?


As a rule of thumb they should leave their Armaments behind when they are out of duty, unless given the authorization to bring them out. Locking powers is possible, but too shady so that doesn’t happen normally.

@Burger
From what I’m understanding, there’s no way that your character can wield such a heavy weapon without relying on her transformation, which lasts for short periods. It makes no sense if she can do so.

I suggest you review that before I can give her the green light.

@Saltwater Thief
I like her simple but effective build. She’s ok with me. Just wait for @TheWindel’s opinion.

I suppose you can keep her as a Striker.

I suppose I could switch over to gunner as well. But do you think we're set as far as native Japanese?


That would be appreciated. Also, you don’t need to do a Japanese character if you don’t want to, that was just a suggestion to make things more balanced.

Just going to throw in a post that I'm currently linking up a Linker, if that's no problem. I'd say it's around halfway done, and it should be ready pretty soon, hopefully.


You’re welcome.

That was more of a spitball. It's stated that people have higher physical prowess from psychic capabilities, and I didn't really see a quantifiable strength I could compare it to. Didn't know how hard I was supposed to go, so it's been nerfed down to the weight of a normal small person.

People with psychic abilities can be stronger than normal, indeed. However, you wrote down that even a strong Striker would have difficulty handling that weapon without providing any explanation about how she could do so when not using her transformation. The logical conclusion is that she can't use her own weapon when not transformed based on your description alone.

The weight was indeed excessive for a weapon that seems to be just a simple big stick, a sword of that size that weighed more than 8 pounds would already be impractically heavy IRL, just for the sake of comparison.

Just a quick question on the topic of the invaders, if that's no problem. What exactly do they look like, and what are they capable of in a combat scenario? My sample post might make use of them, as long as that doesn't cause any issues, and I want to make sure that I'm not portraying them inaccurately.

I did, I thought. I never said people other than her couldn't wield it, I said that it was so heavy it was difficult and bizarre to use. The blade becomes weightless when swung in clean arcs, which is how Yui uses it. Okinami isn't actually a sword meant for brutes, it's a sword that relies on perfect technique. A brute would be thrown off balance because the blade can shift from near weightlessness to super heavy in a split second.

The point of the sword is its weight, sort of. It's not just a big sword that cleaves things in twain because it's big. It's supposed to be a sword that's used with non-standard forms. A second body rather than an extension of the arm, so to speak.

And Yui isn't supposed to be a master of it. She has some aptitude, but she's still supposed to learn how to perfectly use it.

There are many types of them, the only thing they seem to have in common is the desire to destroy everything. As far as appearances and combat capabilities go, it varies too much between different kinds.

PS: here are some examples of relatively common types of enemies though.

https://simg3.gelbooru.com//images/fc/c1/fcc17e697d0248ff9e3b5293c1dac2d8.jpg

https://conversations.rabb.it/7945d62c-2235-49ab-b878-238d9ad932ba.jpg

The first ones are mostly melee attacks that come in packs, while the latter are more specialized types with well-rounded abilities that generally don't attack in large groups since they are kind of elite units.

None of this really makes much sense, in my opinion. The description of the weapon doesn't even mention how it is able to become "weightless" since it would need some kind of mechanism to work like that. This isn't fantasy, but rather sci fi so things need an explanation, even if it's one that requires suspension of disbelief to work.

On that subject, if the blade becomes weightless, it's contradicting description because its weight will be useless if it loses it while being swung. You can't really disregard conservation of momentum like this without an explanation that fits the setting.

Is she manipulating the differing weights with her psychic ability?

@KoL Worth noting because I often use a -booru for picture hunting; they don't allow you to link directly to their images. You can see it through your link because of some weird shenanigans, but all the rest of us get is a 403 Error. You'd have to copy them to a more open-hosting image site like imgur to do so.

That aside, thanks for the acceptance!
