Perrmissions And You

A little note about Hayate's Canon of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is the nature of the Book of Darkness, soon to be dubbed the Book of Blessed Wind/Azure Sky. As a extremely dangerous Lost Logia, it has several abilities that needs to be known to the community once the true nature of her sickness is released to the public.

The first is of course, the Defense Program. It is a dangerous weapon, which basically makes the book go out of control and kill worlds. This obviously needs to be stopped when it emerges in the finale of A's dependent on canonmates and such who may or may not be apped. It is a highly volatile regenerating program which required a massive energy cannon to destroy in space. Clearly people can come up with their own ideas on how to kill this thing later in DDD.

The second obviously is its function. The Book is able to absorb magic of any kind, and store it away into the pages, materializing as writing. This has the added bonus of granting Reinforce and Hayate the ability to access the spells of anyone's magic that is absorbed into it, and replicate it in battle or everyday use. Canonically Hayate has over a million potential spells from the many times it was filled up, and the potential for adding more is very high. This obviously requires permissions since we don't want Hayate's Wolkenritter attacking and draining someone who doesn't want to be drained. It would be appreciated to note in a reply what spells and abilities Hayate can eventually access through the book. As well as if you want to keep some people safe from a Wolkenritter attack.

The third here is mostly planning and plotting. When A's begins, the Wolkenritter will live in peace with Hayate for about two-three months before the beginning of A's but then begin their hunt for magic. If you want to be attacked, say so here and we can work out a private post dealing with the aftermath since the Wolkenritter are all currently NPCed.

Thank you for all your time, and have fun interacting with Hayate!

Hit any of mine (though if you hit Kano you'll get not even a page, like, two sentences if that, all she does is ambiguously talk to animals).

[lil_tanuki]

Hahahah noted. Maybe Kano should be hit for the sake of hilarious.

Aqua can get attacked down the line, assuming she hasn't been canon updated to the Realm of Darkness or anything.

Kendrix and all my immediate future characters = does not apply.

[lil_tanuki]

Got it.

[blahblahblah]

I think all my characters are fine... The Cures are obviously easy targets, being used to attacks that deal straight damage and not convenient energy-drain effects, and Totori won't really be able to do anything about them - then again, if they'd tell her their purpose, she'd probably let them take as much as they wanted and then start work on the strongest curative she knows at the time. Hayate will get whatever Cure stuff is applicable from Itsuki and Kanade, and will get item crafting magic from Totori.

Rita, on the other hand, creates a weird edge case. She herself is fine, and her party doesn't have magic, with one big exception. Estelle's magical condition is something that drives plot in the last act of the game, and I somehow think that draining her magic will have a severe negative effect on canon. So, uh, if we work out the Wolkenritter coming to Terca Lumireis, Estelle will need to be either kidnapped or otherwise absent at the time, because if they drain her we're getting a nonstandard game over (and the Book will probably be done). Hayate would learn Rita's artes as of when the Wolkenritter come calling, which could possibly be up to her early expert spells... I don't envy having to deal with Violent Pain. And heaven forbid if she somehow learns Indignation, that thing hurts.

That said, Hayate's Knights (and Hayate herself, in peacetime) are welcome in any of my characters' worlds, barring an objection from my castmates, for good intent or ill.

Too bad the Wolkenritter are notoriously bad at communicating, or this would be easy. And all right, sounds good.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Oh, dear.

[lil_tanuki]

Karen-oneechan, please don't hurt her kids too badly they're just trying to save her?

[justforyou]

Mami and Kirika can get attacked. Eva-Beatrice? Not so much....because that would be bad.

[lil_tanuki]

Sounds good to me!

You can attack Mir if you want-but fair warning, her Triangular Nuclear Core Loop may be incompatible with your systems. If it isn't, she'll offer up the spell to summon ELMA-DS and one to make rocks fall and everyone die.
