I suggest a car-name thread based off of all the new characters who are also based off of cars. Extensive list can be found here:

Mods, I was thinking that since I noticed that a "create-own-character" thread already exists (at least, in Gundam Sub-forum) can anyone of you create one for Nanoha sub-forum? It should be partially related to the fanfic thread since it may contain materials of the Nanohaverse that are fan-made.
Thanks. |

Believe me, ask any of those questions in the Generic or episode threads, and I can assure you that there'll be at least 3 or so people getting back to you within the hour (Or, at least before the day ends...)

I'm going to take the opposite view here

I don't object to the thread but it might be more sensible to give the thread a wider range such as Popular and Cultural References in Nanoha. This way the thread can cover any modern reference (such as the use of car names for the characters) as well as any cultural context (such as the use of different languages for the devices). I'm sure there must be some Sci-Fi and Fantasy refernces in the series as well as real-life settings. Quote:
So, it seems there is some support for both ideas (from different Mods ). As monir suggested, make a convincing opening post here and if it emphasises the right qualities then we will split the post off and create a new thread. Please try and encourage discussion so they don't become "write only" threads |

I see that we can post OCs, take them apart, balance them, then build on the backstory. However there's a chance that people might not be willing to offer up OCs for the picking for fear of spoiling their own stories. It took quite a while to get the fanfic thread to open up. ^^ However if this thread is opened I'm willing to help it along.

Sounds like fun! I already got a character ready to be submitted. (Just need to work on a few details ) The only worry I have is that, as soon the thread is opened, there will be a huge inflow of created characters and no room for discussion, so only the latest submissions will receive proper discussion. (This is only at the beginning, of course) The problem is, I dont know how we can handle this. |

Actually that'll be a good thing, but I dun think it'll be that big a prob. If it does flood, I suppose we need someone to be putting in effort to keep at characters in view. Probably like how Skane tracked our bets for Epi 5, except with links to the earlier posts containing the chars?

Now that sounds like a tavern to recruit heroes. Imagine if several people starting picking one, his exploits would add up over time, resulting in more people picking him, until we can have Mahou Shounen Random Hiroko. Just my AU$0.02.

How about a tactics and training page? It's interesting seeing how both Nanoha and Fate develop their respective skills and specialisations, first as wild MC mages before taking on the Velka style. This would be in contrast to the pure Velka Knights group before going to the dedicated hybrid mages like Hayate or the Strikers. Of course, there are support mages, summoners and the weapons the entire crew uses either against one another or the current crop of AMF drones.
In S1, Fate and Nanoha essentially started out as jacks of all trades because of the lack of directed training. The divergence in abilites come from Fate specialising in speed/melee and Nanoha countering with powerful range attacks. S2 has the girls face a crew of warrior-mages with a high degree of personal melee skills [Vita's strength and Signum's agility], augmented by a sudden burst of crushing power. This causes them to specialise even further into their respective spheres in order to counter them. S3 introduces the AMF drone. Suddenly the girls find out that they've specialised into a corner with an opponent able to negate near any sort of magical attack thrown at it. Que the new team to address the shortfall. Lots to talk about here. |

What's about that Characters thread? We can expand it to include discussions on the in-canon characters as well, since fanfics also depend on them and we can also use the thread to polish our characterisations of them, or at least get everyone to agree on some points. But I think we'll leave canon relationships out of this, otherwise this is going to be the Somalia of Nanoha forums. But that's up to everyone to vote.
In other words, is there going to be a thread?

------------------------------------------ Title: Character creation and discussion This thread is made for people want to discuss the existing characters of nanoha, or those who have their own Original Characters in the Nanoha-verse, and wish to discuss them. This is also a good place for those who are looking for characters to add in fanfictions or RPG’s to get a few ideas, or complete characters. To avoid this thread going in the wrong direction, there are a few ground rules.
So with that out of the way, how do we create a character? Weeeell, the first thing would be to decide whether it is a him or a her. Details, I know, but very important. Second would be looks. Hair, eyes and clothes are all very important in this regard. Following would be whether she is good or evil –this is relatively important for the personality, which will come up next- Personality is the core of a character, and makes up the ‘who’ of your character. After that, it’s down to the best part: Powers! Devices, spells, specializations, go wild! Just… make sure your character is not too powerful, okay? Even superman had his kryptonite. Oh, and of course a background. Where did you character come from? What did he/she go through to become the way he/she is? Etc. etc. How detailed you describe everything is up to you, but I can guarantee you, the more details, the more there is to discuss. And that’s what this thread is all about, right? ----------------------------------------- That should be it. Anyne else have a few things we might add? |
