Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

I'm really sorry to @Dblade26, since I knew that bio was coming but managed to completely miss it.

Anyway, waiting on an answer to Rain's question for the newest one.

In the mean time, really looking forward to things picking up more!

Ishimura Hiromi

"Ohohoho~"

Hiromi placed a hand over her mouth as she laughed.

"Oh, how adorable, Ushio-chan," she said, smiling as she titled her head to one side. "Very well, let's go."

Her eyes traveled over to a few students who'd gathered nearby. Ah, staring at one of their betters and her maid like that... how rude. It was rather like staring at some sort of royalty? Not in a respectful manner at all, either. She was one of the people who would ensure their victory in this tournament, was she not? So such rudeness was intolerable.

"And we'll eat somewhere these people won't bother us," she added, gesturing to the students. They didn't seem to appreciate that comment at all, but Hiromi ignored the reaction and proceeded outward, beckoning to her maid. If they couldn't deal with it, it was quite simply too bad for them.

"I'm feeling quite partial to some more traditional food, today," Hiromi said.

Adachi Ruriko

So she'd blocked it. Well, even if it hadn't hit...!

Ruriko was outranged at the moment, which is why, when she wanted to take this into melee range, she had to get in closer. If this angle of attack proved less fruitful, then she would simply adjust Starlight Masamune itself. It could do a lot more then simply cut and fire off blasts of magical energy. And so, she followed the cut through the air, in time to intercept the glowing blade as it swung down. The sound of metal on metal cried out as it struck the side of Ruriko's blade, which skidded along it. Using the momentum of her own charge and slash, she attempted to deflect the swing and counterattack.

An aggressive counterattack could seal a victory quickly. But if the mock battle went longer, Ruriko could adjust.

She was the child of the Adachi family, and that meant she would not fail.

Assuuione (A Multiverse RP)- Open for Business!

Tachibana Hibiki, Holding Determination in her Fist

Hibiki's eyes followed the armored swordsman as he walked away. He'd helped them! ... Maybe he needed help too? It seemed like he was doing something important, and yet he'd told them where the exit was and walked off like that. It didn't really feel right to the girl to just leave after he'd helped them out... and so she took a step after him.

At least until Miku grabbed her hand and started pulling her out.

"Ah? Miku? But... what if he needs help too!"

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

I'm... I mean I'll be honest and say I just don't think I have enough experience to form an opinion in terms of D&D I guess. ^^;

I'm not sure that they'll have considered that yet, really.

I Became a Monster, But Why?!

"... Stops freaking out. Stops. Freaking. Out."

For a few moments, Ariana had been panicking. But now she was feeling rather angry. Okay, she could guess all these... things were people too. Which in fact made her quite a bit angry. Any nervousness and fear was shattered in a few moments with a storm of rising anger, fire burning up through the tiny girl's frame. The one who had tried to calm her down, now, was forgotten for the moment, as she furiously rounded on the others.

"WHY AREN'T YOU FREAKING OUT MORE?!" she snapped, pointing an accusatory finger, "You're all in the same situation as me, right?! Hell, I have it better then a lot of you! At least it's just my legs that are a spider! There's a snake, and dinosaur people, and... and... what the hell is wrong with you that you aren't freaking out?! Are you all idiots?!"

Ariana trembled for a few moments, then buried her face in her hands.

"I want to go home. I just want to go home. I don't want to have a spider for legs. I just want to go home."

It'd probably still fire magical bullets and stuff. I do mention Light Engines for a reason, you don't have to be the best ever with mana to use a Divine Gear effectively.

I'll admit personal mana stuff isn't very fleshed out, but Light Engines generally ensure if you have any, which everyone does, you can use a Divine Gear.

Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

The sociopolitical, economic and technological consequences of that revelation are insane.

Can we just assume that world history still turned out the same instead? Except with magic? Because the amount of things that would have been utterly changed is beyond my brain's ability to process.

@Crimmy

Roughly the same, yes.

Unless simply having a magitech weapon renders you bulletproof (which would also mean swordproof) and/or those magitech guns use none of the user's own mana a normal gun is still an effective weapon.

I know that normal guns are usually totally useless in anime, but that's only because the people who use them learned to shoot at the same place Stormtroopers did and the writers need some way to make it so that only the main cast can save the day.

I'm not expecting one shot kills here (metaphoricaly speaking.) It just doesn't make sense to me that extremely effective weapons suddenly become absolutely and hopelessly outclassed in every way once magic enters the picture.

@Silvan Haven

There's a decent amount of Ritual Technology that does render you bulletproof and requiring other ritual technology to actually deal with it. Keep in mind it was initially made to fight monsters... And some of them are contracts with gods.

Not only do a lot of modern guns flat-out not exist an have magitech alternatives to them instead, magitech would still outclass them if they did exist.

Important. Do we have instant noodles that cook instantly with magic?

@Crimmy

I don't know if that's quite a necessary advancement.

Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

Also an important point is magitech having existed for at least a hundred years in-setting, meaning a lot of your standard real-world guns don't exist at all anyway. ^^;

Since the last time the Gate of Samhain was opened was a hundred years ago... and Ritual Technology was used to force it shut again.

Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

Um... magitech completely outdoes mundane guns, though. Like... that is how the setting I have worked out works.

I mean there's literally no reason to use mudane guns. There's magitech guns if you want to use a gun.

I don't know why anyone would want to use a mundane gun when you can have magical gatling guns with infinite magic bullets that can turn into magic rocket launchers.
