Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

Name: Subaru Nakajima Age: 16 Gender: Female. Appearance: Subaru Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon Universe of Origin: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (from somewhere around the time of Sound Stage X) Personality: A boisterous and cheerful tomboy with a with a strong drive for self-improvement and a genuine desire to help others. Subaru is a hot-blooded and determined fighter who puts 100% of herself into whatever she's put her mind to, and who isn't afraid of hardship or pain if it means achieving her goals. She is a straightforward and honest soul, and tends to take things too personally when her efforts to help others fail. Abilities/Weapons: Mach Caliber: Subaru's Intelligent Device, a sentient magical AI built into a set of powered roller-blades. She assists Subaru with the casting of her spells and improves her magical efficiency, while also providing her with transport and tactical advice (as well as generally being a good friend). When not in use she reverts to her standby form, a blue crystal pendant. Revolver Knuckle: Subaru's second Device, non-sentient this time, taking the form of a large armoured gauntlet with two counter-rotating gears. Set above the the wrist is a revolver-like cylinder that is loaded with special cartridges filled with concentrated magic. These can be fired off to dramatically boost Subaru's mana pool. Half of a pair once worn by Subaru's dead mother, Revolver Knuckle is Subaru's main weapon. Magic: Subaru's magic style is a lot more in-your-face than other mages. Full spell list can be found here, but in general she uses magically-enhanced punches and mid-to-short-ranged shockwave attacks. Also notable is Wing Road, a mobility spell that creates a magical path through the air, allowing her to effectively fly using her roller-blades. Barrier jacket: Magical armour that provides Subaru with a substantial increase in durability. Can be summoned and un-summoned at will. Combat Cyborg implants: As a cyborg, Subaru is stronger and more durable than a normal human. Actually activating her implants increases her strength and durability even further, and also allows her to use her Inherant Skill Vibration Shatter, a powerful shockwave attack specifically designed to damage electronic equipment. Backstory: Subaru was born, or more accurately, created as part of a clandestine project to develop powerful cyborg soldiers, cloned from the stolen DNA of an elite mage and implanted with cybernetics at an early age. Luckily, the facility where she and her older sister Ginga were made was raided by the Time-Space Administration Bureau, and the pair were rescued and adopted by a kindly mage - the very same woman they had been cloned from. After this the pair lived a fairly normal life, until a turning point came when she was 11 years old. She was caught in a fire while visiting her father, and was saved by Captain Nanoha Takamachi, the TSAB Air Force's Ace of Aces. She found herself in awe of this powerful, unshakable woman, and was ashamed that all she'd been able to do herself was cry. This, along with the earlier death of her mother, inspired Subaru to make more of herself. Striving to emulate her hero, she joined the TSAB and became a mage. She was eventually recruited into a newly formed special unit and served under Nanoha herself, working to uncover and foil a plot that had roots in the same project that created her (Yes, this is an enormously abridged version of the events of StrikerS. More details are up in the wiki link above). Presently, her career has continued its upwards climb - she joined an elite disaster response and rescue unit, and is regularly rotated into service with the UMMA. Faction: UMMA

Shigeru Miyamoto himself appears and banishes the attackers from the kingdom? :P For a more serious suggestion, maybe have them be recalled by the Boss. They might be needed elsewhere, or just because the operation was unsanctioned.

Labyrinth of Touhou is a fun Etrian Odyssey-esque RPG with Touhou chars, for example.

PKMNB0Y

I've heard of that one, actually. I've played a bit of Etrian Odyssey 4, so I might check that out.

Subaru is best Nanoha. :D

Rin

That she is ^^ I'm quite fond of a lot of other StrikerS-era characters too (Nove and Cinque spring to mind) but Subaru is still my favourite.

I never got into Touhou. I like the idea of the big cast of interesting characters, but I don't have the reflexes for the gameplay XD. I've only ever played one schmup, and I've been told it's a lot easier than most touhous. Also, I realise I just signed up a second character, but a friend recently inspired me to go back and re-watch MGLN StrikerS, and now I'm kinda tempted to sign up as Subaru.

Massive Multiversal Crossover

Name: Casidhe (or just Cas) Age: Chronologically, 3 years old. Mentally and physically, she is roughly equivalent to an 18-20 year-old. Gender: Female. Appearance: In daylight, in darkness, close-up. Roughly 5 feet tall. Pale blue-grey skin, harder than a human's and craggy in places, like bark. Her "hair" is an arrangement of thick orange petals, and she has bright orange eyes. In the dark, glowing orange veins are visible along her body and along the edges of her hair-petals, and her eyes glow as well. Canon, AU, or OC?: OC Universe of Origin: Guild Wars 2 Personality: Adventurous and nearly fearless, Cas relishes new experiences and will try almost anything once. Though friendly and cheerful, she has a tendency to keep things close to her chest and tries to deal with problems by herself before asking for help. When she first awoke she had penchant for pranks and tricks, although these were always harmless and she has since grown out of them (well, mostly). One thing she did retain from her early years is a love of heights and huge views. Her race can telepathically sense the emotions of others of their kind around them - subsequently, she has some trouble reading the body language of other races without the help of her empathic link. She's gotten a lot better over the years of her life, but she still doesn't always get certain social cues. Her people also tend to be free and generous with their affection, which can lead to some awkward situations among outsiders. Finally, her people have a saying - "A true sylvari should have two hearts: one soft and pliable as hot wax, and the other as hard and impenetrable as an icy diamond. The first, he should show to his companions, the second, to his enemy." True to this, Casidhe's bubbly cheerfulness quickly change when her companions lives are in danger, the girl becoming cold and almost merciless when defending them. Abilities/Weapons: - Two large ornate pistols, essentially mundane revolvers. She has a few special ammunition types she can use to make them more effective: Smoke cartridges, which don't contain any bullets but can be used to mask an escape or cause a distraction; and poisoned shots that leave the target dazed and woozy. - Two daggers, grown from special trees in her homeland. - Cas is surprisingly stealthy for someone with glowing orange hair. She has been trained to move quietly through a variety of terrains and conditions. She is a very agile and evasive fighter, with keen reflexes and a knack for acrobatics. - She is also an extremely skilled airship pilot, although how much use that will be is debatable. Backstory: Casidhe is a sylvari, a race of intelligent humanoid plants. Grown in pods hanging from their mother, the enormous Pale Tree, they first gain awareness inside a mental simulation called the Dream of Dreams. This dream world is built from the combined memories and experiences of the entire syvlari race, allowing the young dreamers to safely learn about the outside world from within their mother tree before they emerge, fully-grown, from their pods. They then go out into the world and feed their experiences back into the Dream, so the next generation of saplings can be even better prepared. The Dream is not quite a hive mind, but it is a constant connection in the back of a Sylvari's mind, and they broadcast their emotions to any others who are nearby. Shortly after awakening, Casidhe knew she wasn’t meant to linger beneath the Pale Tree like some of her kin. One of her first jobs was showing non-sylvari travellers around the grove, and their tales of the outside world kindled a love of adventure in her heart, and she left on her own journey as soon as she was able. After roughly a year of wandering, she encountered soldiers of the Vigil, a multi-racial organisation dedicated to fighting the Elder Dragons (her universe’s greatest existential threat, ancient primordial beings of terrible power). The sense of purpose that the members of the Vigil possessed intrigued the young sylvari, but what truly captured her imagination were the organisation’s cutting-edge magitech airships. It wasn't long before she signed up and set her sights on the becoming a pilot. Although her rise through the ranks was tough, she stuck to her guns with an almost obsessive focus, and after a year she was recognised as one of the better pilot recruits around. Cas’s world has actually known about the existence of the multiverse for hundreds of years. The human race is not native to the planet Tyria. Those that live there now are descendants of a group of humans who came to the world through the Mists (Tyria’s term for the space between the worlds), led by six powerful interdimensional travellers the humans now worship as gods. Tyrian mages and scientists have been studying the Mists for generations, but only recently did they start to really explore them. Casidhe was chosen to pilot one of the early Mistship expeditions, and when contact with the UMMA was made she decided to stay on as one of Tyria’s liasons with the organisation. Faction: UMMA

I've also posted, but I didn't really have much to say and I wasn't sure about "spawning" any bad guys for Blake and co to deal with. I'm also going to hold off on introducing my salad girl until I've worked out a good way to do it. I don't think it'd be a good idea to just dump her into an existing scene.

Blake, UMMA Vessel Tanngrisnir "Roger!" Blake turned to look at her two companions. "We're pretty close to the civilian areas, let's go!" With that, the black-clad girl set off down the crew corridor, heading for the civilian berths.
