Current You know you're getting old when you start getting excited after discovering a new cleaning product that makes it SO, SO MUCH easier to clean stains from the bathroom floor.

"Humanity takes great pride in three things. Their willpower, their greed and their mortality.

Their will and endless greed allows them to grow and ascend past other creatures
But their mortality denies them divinity

It's a delightful purgatory between being Fallen and being Divine"

One way to balance it out would be to make it so Anya had to switch between channels to view things through a ThirdEye, rather than giving her a single unified vision. That way not only would deploying too many of them simultaneously be a little overwhelming to keep track of, but while using one Anya would be functionally defenseless and reliant on someone literally watching her back until she switched back to her main augmentation.


If that was used by anyone else, information overload would be a real problem. But Anya's augmentation also deals with that. Since Anya is usually away from where the conflict would happen, her main augment is something like an alert for her to GTFO of things get ugly.

'Silenced' firearms are still surpringly load, and generally the term 'suppressed' is used instead. Most people would easily hear a silenced pistol firing either in the street outside their house or from a couple of rooms away inside the building. However, the sound tends to be significantly different from what most people associate with a gunshot, and such sounds tend to be disregarded as background noise and not reported or recorded.

Also it's a little easier to tag someone without them knowing when all you have to do is pull a pin and slip the ThirdEye into their pocket surreptitiously, rather than shooting them in the back.


A supressor only deals with the noise the bullet makes when getting out of the rifle and not with the Sonic boom the bullet makes when travelling through the air.

Anya's rifle, due to not being a normal gunpowder rifle, is already pretty silent. The suppressor only makes it even quieter. That would deal with any hopes of someone to pinpoint her location due to the sound (since the only ones able to hear anything at all are those right besides her target, and even though,be able to pinpoint her location due to the fact that the thing producing the noise is the bullet, not the rifle. The Sonic boom is just a reminder that someone just killed your friend over there)

Unfortunately, dealing with the Sonic boom is completely different. In order to make a 'completely silent' weapons, a couple of things are needed, which the most notable is a subsonic rifle and ammo.

A slower bullet would not produce the characteristic Sonic boom that it does when passing by someone, but in the other hand, less speed means less range and penetrating power. In order to deal with this issue, heavier bullets would be needed to raise the projectile's penetration power at the cost of a heavily reduced range.

<Snipped quote by 13org>
I'd suggest that the bullet type would be a little smaller than the standard version you've described so far, since it would have to be able to fit into the 4x30mm rounds standardly used by her rifle. This would mean less refined sensors and reduced battery size. Overall that would make for a shorter life, smaller range unit which could be quickly and messily deployed at greater range, and would be inferior to the larger version which would require more planning and logistics to place.

Basically, if Anya has the time to get one of the other devices into place manually then it would be better to do that, but in a situation where she needs to quickly establish a sensor net in a hurry, the bullet type would allow her to get on point far faster.

Would the transmission range affect her augmentation in any way? Could Anya use the bullet types as a 'signal repeater' if she needed to relocate in a hurry and would be moving out of range of devices already in place?


Great idea. Making the bullet type less powerful, with less range and unlike the normal device, lasting only a few minutes would make it so the normal devices would still be the better choice, and the bullet type only a 'backup' if things don't go as planned.

Their range is pretty ridiculous, so that isn't something Anya should be too worried about.

Oh and I had already posted an IMG for the bullet type on my CS XD

In that case Anya might want to replace the explosive with a thermite charge instead. Explosive would shatter the device, but may leave some components intact, while a thermite charge would melt the device, transforming it into a molten lump of slag metal which would be worthless to anyone wanting to salvage the tech.

Plus it'd be a little more discouraging to anyone attempting to tamper with one of them.


Great idea. Thermal charges it is.

<Snipped quote>
I'd advise against making the hum too audible, since as it is Anya could plant the device on a vehicle or even a person without them noticing too easily. This could then be used to 'map' an area as the target moved through it, especially if she tagged a security guard or sentry working a patrol route.


Silent it is then.

From the way I'm reading the description of her perception augmentation, it sounds similar to Hinata Hyuga's genetic ability in Naruto, where she has a full awareness of everything around her but with the additional option of focusing her senses in order to extend the range of her ability upto 10km in a certain direction. By using the ThirdEyes Anya does something similar, but unlike Hinata, who could just stand on top of a building scanning everything for 10km around her, Anya would have to find some way to deploy her devices to a location before detecting what was there.

This raises a couple of questions for me.
  • Does a ThirdEye need to be manually activated by pulling the pin, or could it be activated from a remote location after it had been placed somewhere earlier?
  • Can the ThirdEye be fired from her rifle, allowing Anya to deploy them at a considerable distance? If deployed in this manner, would the pin be removed as the device was fired, or could it be activated only after reaching its target (or somehow being intercepted)?

If they can be deployed in this way, Anya would take on similar skills to Saito, the sniper from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, whose cybernetic targeting eye is able to be linked to satellite systems giving him 'perfect' aiming capabilities. Unless the feed is hacked and the target knows he's aiming at them, allowing them to avoid his shots as he makes them (as seen in the first season's second episode Bōsō no Shōmei TESTATION.)


Yeah, my original idea was for it to be a bullet, so she could fire it from her rifle, but I thought that it would be too OP, wouldn't it?
Currently the Third Eye needs to be manually deployed, either by Anya herself or by someone else. After someone pulls the pin, its already activated.

Maybe it would also be interesting to make it also a bullet type. Thinking about it, both would have different applications. The device would be good for mapping closed areas where Anya doesn't have a direct line of sight. Such as buildings & etc. For that, Anya would need to go there scout the place herself, or send someone to do it.

The bullets would be faster and easier to deploy, but there are obvious drawbacks to them, drawbacks that actually prevent them from being op...
Well... even though Anya's rifle is silenced, people nearby can still hear as the bullet hits the ground/wall/etc. or see the obvious hole on it. That would prevent her to simply just shoot it wherever she wants and create a huge field where she has a 'perfect aim'.

Now the big question is: Would it be fair for the bullet type and the device to have exactly the same range and drawbacks?

PS: love ghost in the shell <3
@Genni

The explosives are really harmless. If it gets detonated while you hold one, the max that it will cause its probably small bruises... nothing serious.

About the hum, I was thinking in making it audible... but what are your thoughts on the ThirdEye as it is right now?

15m maybe its an ok size, since its small and Anya can carry a considerable amount of those with her (if I had to give numbers... I would say around 25-30. since they can be 'stacked' on top of one another, taking basically the same space an AR mag would.)

About the hum, 15m should also mean that if she wanted to have a good 'information net', she would have to spread a good number of those on a building.

All in all, its range is what will dictate if its too strong or too weak. What do you think?
@Genni

Anya can replicate it with enough materials. Since its not an overly complex device, it doesn't require that much in terms of raw materials. And with enough understanding (aka, if someone gets their hands in one of those and reverse engineer it) they can replicate it as well.

The thing is that it is only useful to those with the same augment as Anya. To everyone else, it only works as a sub-optimal, localized signal repeater.

PS: added another small drawback to the Third Eye, and now it has only 15m range.

Considering making the low hum audible to everyone if one pays enough attention, so the device is easier to find (well... they'll know that its something strange the second they see it... lol)
Bast Ragoczy


Bast could just activate his card on the carriage right now, but at that moment, he was really interested on Lord Barensia. He seemed to be quite a good man for what he saw until that moment. Eilidh's presence there only made things even more interesting. Unlike the other day, Eilidh was sober. Her steely stare when she shook Bast's hands and her composed posture were certainly fitting of a centaur knight. Lord Barensia's expression and tone of voice when he saw Eilidh were certainly... intriguing... Surely worthy of investigating. But the biggest surprise was yet to come... Lord Barensia's next line would open a big mischievous smile on Bast's face...

"Are... you two together? As in, 'together'?" Lord Barensia asked.

Immediately after that, Eilidh's posture and composure were utterly and completely shattered, as the centaur woman replied to the man, flustered and noticeably redder than normal.

"And here I thought that I had a chance... She rejected me without even a second thought!" Bast said, putting his hand over his chest making a pained expression, followed by a hearty laugh.

"Women are surely hard to understand, don't you agree, Mr. Barensia?" He said, with a wink to the man.

"Anyways, leaving my wounded heart aside... Yes, I've heard quite a few things about the Barensia... Including the fact that you are very influential around this town." Bast said, taking another sip of his tea.

"Regarding what I wanted to talk, other than your magnificent manor, which I'm quite interested to know who built it, I wanted just to have a nice talk. As I said before to your guards, having good contacts is never enough." Bast continued, smiling.

"That said, ask me anything you want, and I shall answer you. Of course, I will take the same approach!" Bast said laughing.

"Well, firstly, as a rather personal question... Are you familiar with the names Lord Araghast and Lord Joshua? If so, what are your feelings towards them. And... If you allow me, as a side question... What are your feelings about Demi-Humans in general?" Bast asked, carefully watching Lord Barensia's reactions.

@PaulHaynek@Silver Carrot
OK!!! Finally fixed my 2nd CS img!! lol

Also, I don't really have many ideas of the Districts, but I want to get my CS approved, soo I'm choosing one on random LOL

PS2: Did some small changes and added a very interesting device to Anya's CS (Thanks to @Genni voting for her ) that will allow her to better fulfill a supporting role when in a mission together with a team.

And... I'm still uncertain on which one to use LOL




IM SO MAAD T___T

Lost the IMG for my 2nd CS and can't find it again...
So guys... I finally need to make a choice. Help me out on this one will ya? XD

Why broken IMG? T____T



@Mara

Almost XD one of my CSs is focused on melee combat.

Something akin to a stalker

But her fighting style is rather different from an assassin's. Different enough so it won't be classified as the same thing XD
@Genni
Now I'm worried that someone might claim my ideas lol

Or make anything similar... Bcos then I'll feel tempted to make another CS
