Hmm, I'd probably go with a sped boost of some sort if I can work out a justification for it...

Um, the idea is that what she did sort of bashed the Neuroi open long enough for the core to be shot, at the moment. ^^;

Lost Cause said
No, that was Francesca. Erica had wind magic. (Which she used in the movie to punch a Neuroi so hard it exploded.)

Oh yeah!! Uuuhhhg.... I need to rewatch that movie! XD

And I'm back. Shattered, but back.

So... I am really stumped for a backstory here. ^^; I mean I guess she's had some successful engagements thus far, but, um... Hmmm...

On the plus side, picture's finally completely finished so um yeah!

Slightly tweaked Siobhan's CS to emphasis her role as, uh... tank.

Nanami almost has art for her, but it needs a lot of fixing.

Looking good for both! Well done!

As for the backgrounds, just a reminder:
I'm not asking for anything super comprehensive! It just needs to a small tid bit of how your character is a strike witch and why she's being placed in the 509th, and that can be as simple as "that's just her assignment" or something. You can always flush out your bios later, I just need something basic and simple at the very least.

I am very glad to hear that, it makes things a lot easier. ^^;

Linking since it's on the other page! That's Odilia finished, finally. I hope she's okay. ^^;

Name: Anette Beaulieu

Age: 16

Appearance: See above

Nation: Gallia

Rank: Sergeant

Striker Unit: Arsenal VG-39

Weapon: Fusil-mitrailleur Modèle 1924 M29 machine gun

Magical Ability: Blaze Burst: Anette is able to vastly increase her speed, whether in flight or on foot, for short periods of time. However, if she uses it for longer than a short burst, she will quickly find herself becoming exhausted. This is what allows her to use her shield as a battering ram.

Animal Familiar: European Rabbit

Personality: At first glance, one of the best ways to describe Anette would be as a strange, silly goofball with an utter lack of any kind of sense whatsoever. It's rather miraculous, most people would think, that she's even on the front lines at all with her silly attitude. Anette tends towards making strange comments, especially about her fellow witches, and has an almost eternally-optimistic viewpoint of the war. She feels like no matter how bad things get, there's no way that they'll ever let the Neuroi win. Unfortunately, this means she has a tendency to goof around... absolutely whenever she gets the chance. Anette thinks that it hurts to be serious all the time, so if there's ever a chance to act more silly and bright, it should be taken. However, there is a sharp contrast between this and her attitude when she has entered combat. Not only is she focused, but she's on fire. Anette burns with the desire to take down Neuroi and cover her fellow Witches. She's there to help win this war, and that's what she's going to do! It's such a shocking contrast that people who don't know her well are often surprised by the shift. In spite of her goofball attitude whenever she has the chance, or her burning spirit in combat, Anette can quickly be flustered in certain scenarios.

Bio/History: A fairly new Witch, Anette earned attention when one of her moves in her first dogfight was to ram the Neuroi using her shield, destroying a large portion of its body and allowing the other Witches to destroy its core. This is what got her assigned to the 509th.

So her backstory is kind of tiny but yeah. ^^;

Both accepted! Hoorah! With that, Lost Cause is the only one with an unfinished CS. But for the sake of not letting this freeze up any longer, I'm starting to type up the first IC post of the RP!

She's just short of the finished version of her artwork and a basic backstory now.

Great! IC IS UP!!! Feel free to post about the witches interpretations leading up to the arrival at base or however you want to do it. I left the "intro sequence" a bit vague as to what the witches in the truck are doing on purpose to allow the optional telling from their perspective of the experience.

So I hope that intro for Anette was good. ^^;

Twas excellent ^_^

I... Will probably introduce Odilia tomorrow, since it's 02:10 right now. ^^; Hopefully I'll come up with something decent.

On the plus side, I have started actually watching Strike Witches and am currently on episode 6, so... Yay~ Hopefully that will help somehow.

Awww boo!

I guess I can be patient til then!

Keep up the great work guys! Once everyone's responded I'll post the next intro stuff then will try to get some free roaming action time before we hit our first big engagement of the day!

So happy to get this finally going though! Looking awesome so far.

A friendly PSA from Aleranicus to the group:

Amicable breakups are not much more fun than one-sided breakups.

Also, kittens are fuzzy. Pet them often.

Once Rin and Lost Cause post, I'm planning on sort of letting everyone interact and what not freely before any big event.
