Noble Arms: The ASEAN War - Thread Three, the Darkest Hour

Nil

La Trinidad de Manila Academy - 11/12/2022, UTC+8

After the day had been won Nil did her best to try and remember the events, after all they liberated a whole city, or conquered or whatever term was correct.

They the diplomats did some great talking about things, and then they did some shooting and Nil was the target then… uhh, Zap?
And finally they stormed the enemy Headquarters, lots of smoke and loud bangs, it wasn’t the best part, plus Myron yanked away some paper from her hands, as if she was going to eat them! Well she did get the idea after the fact but still… she wasn’t eating them yet!

Admittedly, Nil didn’t remember much of that day, a white coat said it could have been the side effects from LoSS oF COnsciOUsNesS and eLectrOConvULsivE tHeraPy without ANestHeSIa, whatever that means.

But it didn’t really matter because Callie was back! Even if Noel and Qingshe were now gone… Still, already the day after the mission she was feeling sorta festive, truly Nil never grieved for long, although it’s hard to say if it’s because of a lack of memory, maladaptive behaviour or just another of her quirks.

La Trinidad de Manila Academy - 12/1/2022, 5:20, UTC+8

It was another amazing night for Nil, the Academy was beautiful and quiet in the dark, the soft whooshing of the wind ever reminding of the well-maintained green park, a luxury many places don’t have. Then there’s the others sleeping, oh and there are new faces as well, safe to say they wouldn’t spend a night without the white haired oddity stalking by when they should be sleeping.

But alas, everything has to end, twilight slowly illuminated the outside and soon the giant sky lightbulb would rise from the city… or maybe it was more of a torch, it only illuminated half of the planet so it got to be directed like a torch?

At the end of her musing, Nil saw Myron walking around the dormitory corridors, the man did usually wake up early but this early, and he’s knocking on every room? Even Nil could tell something was up.

When the time came for Myron to knock on Nil’s room he didn’t hear anybody answer, Nil simply slid behind him without saying a word, then following him the moment Myron realised she was here, _{probably thanks to someone he had already got awake.}

Flashback

_Monogatari
By every account Shinku should have led a life in high society, luxurious, sheltered and a tool for the system, or at least it should have been for someone hailing from Nara Clan's Main House who inherited the prestigious Shiei Shōgun. Instead Shinku found herself in the middle of internal & external clan wrangles, amidst the circumstances regarding succession birthrights, Shinku, including her family left Yume with scorn & migrated to Konoha. Having disavowed associations with the Nara, the family bear Majire, taken after her mother's surname.

Although it's a loose whim situation to bear, the Hokage Shikaue, fellow kinsmen & her uncle, sheltered the Majire Family against said grievances. The family integrated as middleclass residents employed in the Konoha Military Police Force, helped them get by. However, the same cannot be said for Shinku, by the decree of shinobi rights of Hinoan Constitution, Kekkījutsu Shinobi are to be surrendered to their clans but the law remains unclear regarding post Chūnin Graduation.

When time came to choose, Shinku desired to overcome her disposition & be the ultimate judge of her life. That's why she's drawn herself to the cause of Uruha, an ambition of a friend’s lifetime while for Shinku it’s a path to find a life of significance.

性格
性格

Individuality

_Kokoronaka
Deadpan and vigilant by nature, Shinku puts up relationships slowly to a tortoise pace, conforming to those she trusts but nonconforming most people. Shinku is zealous for anything that's ostentatiously comely or so impressive, like Ninjutsu and Chakrascitechnology, obsessively grasping something petty yet practical for the rule of cool. Amidst the extremes, Shinku is ironically the voice of reason in Uruha.

The Eclipse Wheeled, Majestic Threelegged Onyx Bird, Divine General, Asuraga is a species of avic mahoraga, in the Ninshu Bible, it's one of the underworld's finest birds. A chimeric splice between a phoenix, raven and peacock, this is an Onyxbird with the ability to adapt and build resistance to any Jutsu, for it's a hunting fowl to sinners. Asuraga is the most difficult Shikigami to tame because of the human-like intelligence it possess.

_{Kage Shihai | Type: Hijutsu}
Hijutsu Level: A | Skill Level: A+

Shadow Ruler is the impeccable secretart of the Nara clan to bind spiritual chakra with shadows through the use of shadowgraphic hand-signs. Yin Chakra becomes Shade Style to allow the abundance of Yin to cast shadows as the ideal element in use as it binds to Yang Chakra, Yin can't overpower Yin without the physicality and presence of Yang Chakra, so this means that the physical anchor to the spirits is the caster itself. The Hijutsu works in four ways, Absorb, Bind, Disarm & Release in either or in tandem.

Noble Arms: The ASEAN War - Thread Three, the Darkest Hour

Nil

Appearance:

Name: Nil

Age: 19-20 (assumed)

Nationality: Danish (assumed)

Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Stang
A simple rigid staff that has a bright blue glow which produces a faint light, Nil can move Stang via telekinesis.

Noble Arm Rank: C rank

Stat Rankings

Power B
Speed C
Range A
Persistence C
Precision C
Potential D

Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: glowy hitty thing, Kinetic Projectile, Telekinesis, Short/Medium Range

Noble Arm Abilities:

Conjured Staffs, Stang can be create copies that are indistinguishable from the original, Nil can also control them just like the original and create more copies from said copies, maintaining a few copies has little affect on stamina but maintaining a huge amount has a much larger toll.

Telekinesis, Nil can control Stang and its copies telekinetically when doing so the staff has effectively 100 times of its original weight, which is around 1kg.
Telekinetic movements are usually not particularly fast unless Nil launches the NA as a projectile in which case it can go up to 1000m/s and get ~10kms away and has equivalent power to a tank round, unfortunately unlike a tank Nil cannot shoot accurately at that range and has an effective range of 300m on a human sized target without taking impact shock into consideration.

Enhancement, Nil can boost her durability to be able to resist 1-2 additional blows or bullets but it also makes her especially resistant to shockwaves, when using this ability Nil glows blue, especially the hair, eyes and tearducts.

Accuracy Tests

The target used was human sized, 200 rounds were shot for each range apart from the 270meters range where 50 rounds were shot.

Percentage of direct hits only takes into accounts hits that directly hit the target dismissing possible damage dealt through other means.

Percentage of lethal hits takes into account any shot that produced lethal damage either by a direct hit or as the effect of impact shockwave.

Misc Abilities:
Nil can fluently speak Danish but can barely speak other languages such as English, Thai and Filipino.
Nil can also eat many inedible materials without seemingly suffering from it, such as wrappers and paper.

Personality: Nil usually doesn't speak much but she can be direct and blunt, she usually seeks to be around people but doesn't do much when in company.

*Likes: food, people, smashing stuff

*Dislikes: too much noise, long conversations, being alone for long stretches of time

Fears: Drowning (she can swim but she panics when in deep water)

Bio:
Subject designated name: Nil
Subject birth name: N/A
Subject weight and height: 55kg / 170cm

Description:
Nil joined Thailand's military in 13th of May 2015, the day prior meeting with military personnel in Pattaya and being documented as an Arms Master for the first time.
Nil has been unable to answer most questions about her past to the point where her age and nationality can only be assumed, the most commonly agreed theory is that she is from Denmark, as danish is the only language she can speak fluently, and that information about her was lost in the 2009 ransomware attack to the Danish government's databases where many citizen's personal data was erased.
Nil displays some lack of understanding of human interactions and common knowledge, she has been a slow learner with things like learning a new language, monetary value and proper eating, despite this Nil seeks to be around other people and is uncomfortable when left alone for a long period of time.
Medical scans have shown that Nil is human and the lines on her body are likely related to her Noble Arm and not some biological condition, this is exemplified when she uses her Noble Arm and the lines on her body begin to emit a stronger glow.
In the last few years Nil has supported various field operations and displayed a level of obedience and calmness during tense situations, since the start of the ASEAN war she has been active in Vietnam and Thailand and joined the ASEAN joint military, she only recently arrived in the Philippines, arriving in Lingayen shortly after the fighting began.

*Current Goal: Being alive, eating

Military or Civilian Rank: Sergeant of the Thai Military and jointed ASEAN military

Noble Arms - The ASEAN War, Second Thread

@Sanity43217

Overall I like it, a couple of things:

Duplicate isn’t very clear,
does he need to land the killing blow to absorb an NA’s energy?
if he uses that energy to replicate an ability, does he eventually run out?
what if he absorbs too much NA energy? maybe he never tried but what would happen in your opinion?

for stats
Precision in more like C, not like his ability can be controlled that finely
Power… how much does he have without energy from other NA? take that as the base and he can reach A by absorbing, use B(A) or C(A) to indicate this

”That’s one big lizard.” Liv said while Jericho transformed into a dragon with scales black as the night.

She then turned to the clown. ”You’re right Brandon, let’s deal with the stragglers now that they’re divided, Yaorin can easily handle that lizard.”

Brandon might not be that fun, but he can clown on his enemies when necessary. Also he’s receiving a command from Setsuka-sama, again!? When did this birdbrain ingratiate himself to their most benevolent lady? This is no laughing matter, but the jester was grinning nonetheless.

At least he will deal with the boys back at the castle, plus Gwen was taken away and should be safer for now, now who is left?

_{Fylkirlén Forest}

---

Sensors of Red Ice detected someone entering the forest, no doubt members of Fenix Tear. ”Hopefully there’s no one left of the Rebel Alliance after the last purges.”

The white trees had been a long known issue, this ancient forest still retains the holy magic of whatever event once defined it, now it’s just a hiding place for those who oppose Frú Setsuka. Why did they build the Blood Fort so close to the forest?

In any case, red ice minions can’t hold themselves for long in this place. Liv reabsorbed her nearby minions, gulping a torrent of the red liquid back into her own system, leaving ice statues in place of her constructs.

”Sorry Rauða, can’t keep playing around, let’s finish this quick.” In a moment she formed a slab of ice, snowboarding all the way to Fylkirlén, not only is it a fast transportation but also fun.

One scene of vampire snowboarding later…

Finally her prey in sight, with a rush of energy Liv chilled the group of Gwen, Ayuna, Ceri and Lucas, slowing down their movements and reactions, dashing around the trees to hide her position still.

”Høhø, you Phoenixes can either surrender or face the might of Setsuka-sama and her best forces!”

In a millisecond glance Liv already identified the main threats of this group, a Glyph Mage with likely a large reservoir of spells, but can he maintain his campfire and fight back at the same time?

And then there’s… Gwen? ”Again!?” Wasn’t she taken back to Blüdenfort? ”That useless clown!”

Nil

Cambodian National Assembly Grounds, Phnom Penh - 11/11/2022 around 8:30 UTC+8

Nil had, although warily, acquiesced to let Myron lead the team. He never seemed like the type to lead a rescue mission with guns blazing, but if no one was going to protest then it surely wouldn’t be Nil, especially not on the field.

So she simply followed the herd, she had felt somewhat dizzy since she woke up. May have been the head frying, or the bullets, maybe both… But at least these are intact! she thought while putting her ear muffs off and then on again.

Seems like Myron will send them in, at least it wasn’t the first time for Nil, better create a few Stangs just in case, maybe eleven, eleven is a good number.

---

Once inside Nil didn’t wait for any order or even to acquire targets, this time she was going to shoot first and ask questions… possibly never, really.

As 11 high-speed staves hit the walls, possibly eviscerating some unfortunate sods in the way, dust and debris immediately filled the room, crumbling on the walls in a few seconds. Unwillingly she made it harder for the enemies to shoot them, but also allowed the Prime Minister to run away with the convenient cover of dust.

Nil then threw herself on the ground, recalling Stang while trying to figure out what the others were doing.

She couldn’t see Marta with this mess.
Myron was also in the fight, although it was hard to tell if he was waving his hand due to the debris or if it was a hand signal for a command.
Henri was shooting and shouting… about… pry? r? it was hard to tell with the muffs and gunfire.

So she crawled where she saw papers near some guy who ran, there were maps and classified documents, there must be things to pry about in there.

At that moment Nil realised… she can’t read Khmer.

Noble Arms - The ASEAN War, Second Thread

@AtomicNut As discussed privately:

- limit how many replicas Lightbringer can make (1 or at most 2)
- his replicas can be B-rank at best, if he replicates an A-rank NA then it’s going to be nerfed at B
- he can have however many F-rank NA as he wants, they’re basically hyper durable knives
- Overall Rank is B, every Stat gets the (S) added after it, to signify those stats can vary because of the replica NA and postmortem absorption
- Power goes up to C because of Detonate as an ability
- Lower Potential to C or D, we know he has infinite growth potential, but that is by replicating and absorbing other Noble Arms, not by creating new abilities of its own, I could argue even F potential is fine for him.
