Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest!

Reader mode
I did a bit of thinking about how the numbers fall out for Sega Boheart.

Case 1. She's a mostly normal girl, her boosted stats are because Goddess Grey gave her a fancy sword. Since Dragon Slayer is an epic weapon it let her kill Nepgear's nightmare. Team GEAR should be able to survive a fight with her, but she might not be able to withstand Team GEAR's attempts to fry the control seal. Estimated likelihood: Low.

Case 2. Sega is a Magical Girl of some type, but not Solid Drive. Dragon Slayer is still boosting her stats, and may be what allowed her to kill the nightmare. Could be good if she's on the less impressive end as that makes it easier to smash the control seal without squishing Sega. Bad if she's on the high end because it gives her the ability to kill Team GEAR. Estimated likelihood: Nope, if she's a Magical Girl than...

Case 3. She's Solid Drive. OhCrap.jpg. At the moment she seems to be in her 'civilian' form. I have some ideas about why this might be. Solid Drive participated in a fight between the Drives and Goddess Grey. While GGry may have been weaker then the Divinity growth rate means that even if Solid Drive spent her time peaceably she could be just as tough. Archer-Expy can hit everyone in the same zip code with a pile of swords every turn, she also has that Trump Card spell to shoot at things she doesn't like. Magical Girl Solid Drive walked out of that fight, so I expect she can tank 1,000-11,000 damage hits like it's nothing, and has some way to survive a very big Echoing spell fired at her. The bright side is that it means she's tougher than the control seal - if she lets Team GEAR live long enough to break it.

Moving back to why Sega isn't full-on Solid Drive at the moment. I theorize that the seal can't influence her effectively when she transforms, so it keeps her from thinking about it if transforming would cause her to turn on Unified Darkness. Someone with Purity affinity should resist mind-warping corruption quite well. If this is the case I predict she will remain in her unpowered form, even if her death is imminent. Hoping that she won't need to kill Anastasia's friends, but unwilling to let them take her. On the other hand if something were to let her see us as fully enemies she would transform and smash us. Like, say, shooting Nepgear to make her mad :V. (The seal not working well on her also makes the expedition to rez her a bit of a screw-up, and might explain why she's been sent to find Nepgear alone.)

Think of Solid Drive as being about Aggro management. If she gets mad enough then breaking the seal won't help anymore. Killing her is still an almost lose condition, thus we need to balance trying to sound reasonable with zapping her in the throat.

Also I talked myself out of my own plan :V.
[X] Plan Sega-ing Alive

If we can get Gabriel's healing aura working on Sega it makes things so much easier. *Crosses Fingers*
 
I actually have stat sheets for Dead Master (Kaiserin der Toten), Ryuko Matoi (Cloth Destroyer), and Taylor Hebert (Monarch Butterfly) ready to be posted. I just need an ok from one of the mods about the picture I'm using for Ryuko.

I wasn't planning on posting more expies without prompt or confirmation of more heroes being wanted.

I don't really feel confident enough to make character sheets though. The first two affinities should be simple enough though.

Don't you mean Juggernaut Drive? I don't think we've gotten a confirmation that Juggernaut Core even exists.

No, I mean Core. It's pattern recognition; We're Solid Drive's successor, JC is Judgement Drive's, it stands to reason that Juggernaut Drive would have one as well.
...Well, unless they have to actively designate a successor or something, in which there'd be no Juggernaut core because JuggerDrive is the deads.

Plus, and since we saw JuggerDrive's grave earlier, we know Sega isn't her. different names.

Assuming she's here because the UD wants her here, and that she didn't run away to fetch Ana at the first opportunity.

...Why would Sega be Juggernaut Core? How does that make more sense then her being Solid Drive? :confused:

Shit does anyone have a list of the the third affinities for magical girls? I can't find it anywhere.

Story Makers were the slowest. It took them forever to get to the same level as someone that had the Myth Maker, the next highest, affinity. From there, you had in order: Legend Maker, Story, Myth, Legend, Epic, and finally the recently revealed and highest growth rate: Divine.

Problem with that is it's been suggested that Sega has been a magical girl for years, stretching back into the time of the Drives.

This:
crystalwatcher said:
I know. But I also gotta ask:

How much does Anastasia actually know about her sister's life outside of her?

EDIT: AKA I know what I'm doing. No worries ^^

Sega tried to protect me from it as much as she could but... she wasn't always there, y'know? I always dreamed that she was out helping people, but it's silly. After she turned seventeen she got a job and moved out, then fought mom in a legal battle for custody over me.

suggests Sega was a magical girl before she turned 17. Here we find out Sega is four years older:
crystalwatcher said:
As it is, Nep's sister Sega was roughly four years older than Anastasia: 19 to her 15.

and the Drives ran between 4 and 5 years ago:
crystalwatcher said:
"Anyway, It turns out that the 'Divinity' Affinity wasn't on the list of possible affinities until five years ago. Do you know which Magical Girls debuted as Independents five years ago?"

You blink and think back. You couldn't remember much from when you were ten... save the fact that was when your sister had taken you from your mother and moved out with you, so the news wasn't very high on your list. But...

"The Drives." Michael nods and understanding dawns on the rest of your team.

It was said that the battle had been epic on a scale not seen since the Original Four. It had flattened New Mexico as a region and caused a death count that hadn't been seen since the Second Fall of Rome. And in the end... Juggernaut Drive dead, Solid Drive missing, and Judgement Drive left to pick up the pieces.

Goddess Grey had walked away with nary a scratch.

The result had been devastating for the Unified Light. The rising stars swept from the board, the hope of the war tipping into the favor of the Light crushed... That had been four years ago.

Five years ago Sega would have been 14 and in the perfect age range to contact. Speaking of which Sega actually can't be Juggernaut Core because:
crystalwatcher said:
A magical girl has to awaken before they turn 18, otherwise they leave the age where it's possible. Magical Girls can and have grown into fine young women, but it's a brutal job.

Sega's 19 and the Cores only started appearing within the last couple months.

Oh and don't forget:
crystalwatcher said:
So she accepted the fact she had MG powers and worked with her friends to help win the war.

Sega had a team of, presumably, Magical Girls fighting beside her. If Juggernaut Core had a team and had been fighting the Unified Darkness with them people would know she existed.


Bonus points: Judgement Core has an older sister. Judgement Drive was the only one of The Drives to remain an active Magical Girl after Grey curbstomped them:

who wants to bet Judgement Core's older sister is Judgement Drive?

Well, we know a few facts:
1) Sega would disappear for periods of a time several years ago, around when the Drives were active.
2) Magical Girls only share part of their name if they're either related, or share the same Affinities.
3) Those with matching Themes and Names work best together.
4) All three of the Drives, and both Cores possess the exact same three Affinities.
5) Both Solid Core and Judgement Core are based on CPU Candidates from Hyperdimension Neptunia.
6) Both of them have an older sister, whose character image is that of the CPU Candidates older sister in Neptunia, aka the CPU.
7) CPU Candidates are a CPU's eventual successor in Neptunia. <- Explanation for the importance of the details above.

From this, we can conclude that Sega was likely a Magical Girl who then (semi?) retired to look after Ana, which matches what happened to Solid Drive. Ana, due to having the name "Solid Core", would work best Solid Drive and Judgement Core. Sega being Solid Drive would match with how things are in the Neptunia series.
