Just saw this. Yea most are infact namely from a rather old copy of a DnD campaign. Thorn Aura is from LoL in fact the item is Thornmail and is literally made of interlocking blades. Air Resistance Deletion is from a rather silly anime and is called Vacuum Cutter Blade allowing its wielder to ingore the particles in the air as if they were swinging it in space, forgive forgetting the name its been a while and the poster I have only shows the sword. Edge Projection comes from the Invisible Edge blade from History's Mightiest Disciple Kenichi and Dynasty Warriors 8 'Reach' skill, the former is a gimmick (Diamond edge) and the latter is well a game. Blur and Heavy Gravity also come from DW series being Reaction and Heavy Blows respectfully, neither of which show up in 8 But, the effects are cutting attack frames off early(speeding up your reactions) and dealing more damage per strike and literally sending your opponents when they SHOULD be FLYING away on a good 'strong' hit instead only move a few steps away(Making Gravity affect them more.) Both are hilariously OP when used together with a good attack linker character.
. Say it isn't so.
*Gasping and Wheezing* Just....read...over... 400 pages... of posts. *deep breath* I'm probably suffering from sleep deprivation and will probably say something silly/stupid. Fitting, I guess, since that seems to be a running gag.
Alex, man, this is some great stuff you got going here. It's been years since I took part of a quest or a forum rpg, but I just had to make an account and join in once I read this. It doesn't hurt that you run a pretty tight ship here (apart from the Great Waifu Wars and a few other exceptions, the threads were almost as civil as the internet gets). May this quest never die and continue for years to come.
If I am not overstepping my bounds, may I ask about the update speed? Back in the first two threads updates were daily. These days we get them like, weekly or even bi-weekly. I know RL hits hard, and as long as you don't burn out and abandon this quest I am fine with this. I'm just wondering if we will ever go back to the glory days or if this is a permanent thing. Or if this a sign that the quest is stagnating and dying
Now if you'll excuse me I need to reread the Light Novels and brush up on Exalted 2d so I can meaningfully contribute here.
Added to this. This quest didn't share the fates of many quest on QQ. Short and bright, before dying in a whimper.
-Looks at name-

Welcome to QQ and my quest
I swear I will never let this quest stagnate and/or dying, not after coming so far. The regret would be too strong to bear.
Yes, RL is hitting me hard: there is something very important for my future that I must finish this year at all costs, and sadly come first to the quest. Another factor is that so much posts and development less choices are required, so my posts tend to be larger. But like I said, I will not let this quest die.
Or it will upgrade Glorious Solar Plate to Glorious Solar Warstrider. That's a risk I'm willing to take.
Money isn't really a thing we're going to need for the foreseeable future given the payout for Azazel's testing.
Get a job? When we already sink a load of time most days into attending school? We'd never have any time for adventuring! Just hack terrorist groups and steal all their ill-gotten gains.
She should have Bureaucracy too. Rias is noted in the books to be an excellent saleswoman, particularly when it comes to convincing people to join her peerage.
To attract allies you want Presence and Performance. 2E Socialize is used more for really large group social events, ranging from parties to shaping cultures on a nation-wide scale. Solar Socialize is very very dangerous stuff for Issei to be screwing around with, lots of unintended consequences are pretty much inevitable even if he limits the scale to, say, the population of Kuoh Academy.
I see some support for teaching people how to do things. The way to get really good at this is to buy up two Lore excellencies and Harmonious Academic Methodology and Legendary Scholar Curriculum OR invest in War and go for Tiger Warrior Training and Legendary Warrior Curriculum. Those are the big training charms, but Tiger Warrior Training is more suited for training a military unit, not a class of martial artists, and you need HAM to teach non-martial skills. Alternatively, we could delve into 3E Lore and unlock all kinds of neat tricks, like the charm that lets you earn bonus EXP for teaching people or the essence-sharing charms that turn Issei into a giant power plant feeding motes to his allies.
We already have a job. We're a highschool student. That by itself is a full time job. And that's not counting the occasional contract work we do for Rias or the Japanese government (At least, I'm pretty sure it was a government agency that sent us to deal with the Nura clan...).
Not sure the History Compilation Committee is actually government government. Definitely has very good contacts though.
They clearly have some level of authority with the supernatural. Whether or not that's as a part of the local government or as a respected third party is less clear.
No, Eiko handles his finances. Also, He's not a member of House Gremory, he's a contractor that does some work for them. They wouldn't have any right to handle his money even if he was getting a cut of the fertility charms.
He's a yokai clan head, an ascending Heavenly Dragon and a Solar. She'd be joining his family, not the other way around.
