ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

DIVIDER - N/A: DUE TO HER UNIQUE NATURE, ASSASSIN IS ABLE TO DIVIDE HER CHASSIS INTO SMALLER UNITS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF ACTING INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER WHILE SHARING A SINGLE MIND. PARAMETERS OF THESE DIVIDED UNITS ARE GREATLY REDUCED, BUT THE POWER OF OTHER ABILITIES REMAINS UNDILUTED, ALLOWING ASSASSIN TO POTENTIALLY ACT AS A NIGH-UNDETECTABLE CITY-WIDE SURVEILLANCE UNIT.

PROJECTILE (THROWN) - A: ASSASSIN IS ABLE TO THROW PROJECTILES WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO RIVAL A MODERN FRIGATE'S LIGHT RAILGUN TURRETS.

MASTER OF ECM - A: ASSASSIN'S ABILITY TO ACCESS OUTSIDE SYSTEMS IS UNPARALLELED, ALLOWING HER TO EASILY MANIPULATE DATA, REPROGRAM AND EVADE SECURITY SYSTEMS, AND BREAK ALL MODERN FORMS OF ENCRYPTION WITH STARTLING EASE.

RETREAT - C: THANKS TO SMALL, EMERGENCY SPACIAL DISRUPTION UNITS, THIS SERVANT IS ABLE TO ALL BUT GUARANTEE A SUCCESSFUL RETREAT FROM ANY FOE, WITHOUT EXPOSING HERSELF OR HER MASTER TO COUNTER-ATTACK.

SELF-MODIFICATION - C: ASSASSIN IS ABLE TO UPGRADE AND ENHANCE HERSELF WITH ANY TECHNOLOGY SHE ACQUIRES, THOUGH DOING SO CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE UNPREDICTABLE PARAMETER FLUCTUATION.

NOBLE PHANTASM DETECTED. SCAN RESULTS FOLLOW.

PRISMA - THE LIGHT OF CIVILIZATION:
A BRACELET CAPABLE OF CREATING FIELDS THAT CONTAIN AND COMPRESS PHOTONS INTO A NEAR-SOLID STATE.
THESE 'HARD-LIGHT' CONSTRUCTS CAN ONLY LAST SHORT PERIODS BEFORE DETERIORATING, BUT ARE INCREDIBLY DURABLE UNTIL THEN.
THE BRACELET CAN CREATE NOT JUST BLADED WEAPONS, BUT ALSO SMALL BARRIERS AND SHIELDS.
THE DETERIORATION OF THE HARD-LIGHT STATE RESULTS IN A PRISMATIC EFFECT, GIVING THE CONSTRUCTS A RAINBOW-LIKE HUE AND CREATING A SLIGHT VISUAL DISTORTION, MAKING JUDGING THEIR EXACT LOCATION DIFFICULT.

RANK: C-
TYPE: ANTI-PERSONNEL NOBLE PHANTASM
RANGE: CLOSE TO LONG
MAXIMUM TARGETS: 1 OBJECT

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

RIDING - B: THIS SERVANT HAS A COCKPIT CAPABLE OF HOUSING THEIR MASTER, AND ADDITIONALLY MAY TRANSFORM INTO A VEHICLE CAPABLE OF HIGH SPEED FLIGHT, INCREASING THE AGILITY PARAMETER BY ONE POINT WHILE ACTIVE BUT WEAKENING OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES.

INSTINCT - A: SABER POSSESSES A PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS MODULE THAT ALLOWS HER TO 'FEEL' THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION DURING COMBAT. AT THIS LEVEL, IT RESULTS IN A SIXTH SENSE CLOSE TO PRECOGNITION AND REDUCES ALL PENALTIES FROM REDUCED VISION AND HEARING BY HALF.

NOBLE PHANTASM DETECTED. SCAN RESULTS FOLLOW.

INVISIBLE AIR - BOUNDARY FIELD OF WIND:
AN INVISIBLE SWORD. WITHOUT EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY TO SEE THROUGH VISUAL OBSTRUCTIONS, GAUGING THE SIZE OF THIS BLADE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
THIS NOBLE PHANTASM IS PROTECTED BY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY THAT RENDERS IT INVISIBLE, BUT THE SWORD ITSELF IS NOT TRANSPARENT. RATHER, BY MANIPULATING AIR CURRENTS TO AN EXTREME EXTENT, IT CREATES A VORTEX THAT REFRACTS LIGHT AROUND IT.
THE VORTEX SURROUNDING THIS SWORD MAY BE VIOLENTLY UNLEASHED. DOING SO WILL REVEAL THE BLADE, BUT THIS CAN ACT AS A HIGH-POWERED ATTACK THAT IS DIFFICULT TO DEFEND AGAINST.

RANK: C
TYPE: ANTI-PERSONNEL NOBLE PHANTASM
RANGE: CLOSE TO INTERMEDIATE
MAXIMUM TARGETS: 1 OBJECT

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

INDEPENDENT ACTION - C: THIS ABILITY ALLOWS A SERVANT TO REMAIN ACTIVE EVEN WHEN THE POWER SOURCE FROM THEIR MASTER IS CUT OFF. WITH RANK-C, THIS SERVANT CAN REMAIN ACTIVE FOR A DAY EVEN AFTER LOSING THEIR MASTER.

NOBLE PHANTASM DETECTED. SCAN RESULTS FOLLOW.

BELLEROPHON - REINS OF THE HEROIC CAVALRY:
WHILE IN USE, ALL ABILITIES ARE RAISED BY ONE RANK, AND DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES RISE REMARKABLY.
A CONTROL UNIT CAPABLE OF REPROGRAMMING SOFTWARE AND REWORKING HARDWARE ON A REMARKABLE SCALE, BELLEROPHON ALLOWS RIDER TO TURN ANY VEHICLE OF SUFFICIENT SIZE AND POWER INTO AN ARMORED SHELL, ENHANCING HER SKILLS AND GRANTING HER INCREDIBLE FIREPOWER.
THE NAME OF THIS NOBLE PHANTASM AND THE TARGET IT WAS USED UPON SEEM TO MERELY BE COINCIDENTAL.

BELLEROPHON IS THE NAME OF THE YOUNG MAN IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY WHO SUPPOSEDLY MANAGED TO RIDE PEGASUS.

RANK: A+
TYPE: ANTI-STARSHIP NOBLE PHANTASM
RANGE: 200 KM
MAXIMUM TARGETS: 500 INDIVIDUAL TARGETS

Yay! It's time for another Anna quest thread! I know you're all eager (if you're not eager, please pretend you are anyway? :D) for this ride to begin, but for this quest thread, I'm hoping things last longer, and I want you guys all to have a hand in not just shaping the character's actions, but also in shaping their personality and traits before the game even starts. With that in mind, let's start with the questions!

Question #1:
What gender are you?
  • A- Male
    B- Female
    C- Not Applicable
    D- I don't care
Question #2:
What is your greatest wish?
  • A- Fame
    B- Wealth
    C- Happiness for myself
    D- Happiness for others
    E- A world without conflict
    F- To end the world
    G- Other (please post your own suggestion if you vote this)
    H- I have no wishes.
Question #3:
Do you have many friends?
  • A- I have a few close friends
    B- I have many friends
    C- I don't have many friends because I'm bad at socialising, but I would like to make more
    D- I don't have time for friendship
    E- I have no use for other people
    F- Do tools count as friends?
Question #4:
Are you a skilled fighter?
  • A- I'm no good in close-quarters, but I'm a crack shot.
    B- I'm deadly with a blade or with my bare hands, but I detest firearms and other ranged weapons.
    C- I prefer to take my enemies by surprise, with any method or tools available to me.
    D- I am equally skilled at range and up close.
    E- I am not good at physical combat.
    F- I can fight, but I refuse to kill.
    G- I hate conflict.
Question #5:
How do you feel about magic?
  • A- What? Magic isn't real.
    B- It's a useful tool, but Magi waste lifetimes trying to perfect it at the expense of all else. I know enough to get by and don't waste time with the rest.
    C- I love it, of course. Magic is where I excel.
    D- It's evil. Obviously.
    E- I can see its use, but I'm terrible at it.
    F- I wish I was better with it. There's only one type of magic I can use.
    G- I'll master it someday.
Question #6:
What was your childhood like?
  • A- It was a happy, normal childhood.
    B- It was terrible.
    C- I don't remember.
    D- I didn't have a childhood.
Question #7:
Do you consider yourself very smart?
  • A- I'm smarter than most people, I guess, but not a genius.
    B- I'm about average.
    C- I'm not very smart, but I try hard.
    D- I consider everyone else dumb.
    E- I'm a genius.
Question #8:
How much do you value the lives of others?
  • A- I'd never do anything to hurt another person, unless I needed to protect myself or another.
    B- I guess about as much as everyone else? It sucks that people die, but if I don't know them, then it doesn't affect me too much.
    C- I don't.
    D- I value lives, but I realise that sometimes innocent lives are expendable.
    E- Their lives are only meaningful when they end.
    F- I only care about a few select people. Nobody else is worth anything.
Question #9:
Choose one of the following:
  • A- Sword
    B- Spear
    C- Bow
    D- Club
    E- Book
    F- Horse
    G- Knife
    H- Wildcard
That's all the questions, voting is really easy, just follow this simple step!

Q1: C
Q2: G Creating a utopia by any means necessary. The utopia may not be something most people consider utopian, though, but it fits your definition of it perfectly. You have a somewhat different moral code, but you follow it like it's the most important thing.
Q3: F
Q4: C
Q5: B
Q6: D
Q7: A
Q8: D, mostly because people are needed for the planned perfect world, otherwise C would do
Q9: D

A character with a different standpoint, it doesn't look at things the way we do. It wants to create a world it considers perfect, regardless what people may think about such a world. Many of our concepts are foreign to it.

Whoo, I love these things!

1.B - Female
2.H - No wishes
3.C - Bad at socialising
4.B - Close combat fighter
5.A - No magic
6.B - terrible childhood
7.A - clever but not a genius
8.D - values life, but understands that innocent people are sometimes expendable.
9.G - Knife


I'm picturing a little urchin girl who was kicked out by her abusive father at a young age so she has no concept of weath, love or belonging. She has a challenging life surviving on the streets begging and thieving, but she wants to lead a better life.

[21:18] <DanielHawking> Let me know how serious you think I am with that
[21:18] <Siber> 5:A
[21:18] <Siber> no magic, can't be serious
[21:19] <Anna|Tablet> Magic is spr srs
[21:19] <Siber> Though, I think you might be robocop.
[21:20] <Anna|Tablet> Votes seem to be swinging somewhat towards a genderless thing with no childhood.
[21:21] <Anna|Tablet> So
[21:21] <DanielHawking> Robocop
[21:21] <Anna|Tablet> Maybe robocop

Do you have to be active every day or is once every 2-3 days alright?
If so, my submission will be the following:
#1: A- Male
#2: G- The absolute end of all corruption, hate, whatever else drives (relatively) sane people to kill.
#3: C- I don't have many friends because I'm bad at socialising, but I would like to make more
#4: F- I can fight, but I refuse to kill.
#5: F- I wish I was better with it. There's only one type of magic I can use.
#6: C- I don't remember.
#7: A- I'm smarter than most people, I guess, but not a genius.
#8: D- I value lives, but I realise that sometimes innocent lives are expendable.
#9: C- Bow (Though I'm curious what the wildcard is.)

Basically someone who lost his entire memory and identity, but somehow has found something to replace the latter.
