Magical Girl Escalation Taylor (Worm/Nanoha)

Reader mode
[] (Armed Device) Ninja

Seems like a decent compromise. Also, since it's a device, we can always change/upgrade it later if she wants to specialize.

Edit: I stand corrected.

[X] (Boost Device) Full Naruto

-[] Aerial Combat
-[] Temporal Sludge
-[] Flare Blade

I don't mind, we know from Taylor's canon self that swarms can be useful all on their own, if not as direct combatants then as scouts and utility mooks.

Will write up a proper full vote later.
 
[] Plan Fighting Dreamers
-[] (Boost Device) Full Naruto
--[] (Device name)Whirlpool
--[] (Device shape)Katana
--[] Blitz Action - Move at high speeds in a straight line.
--[] Aerial Combat - Ability to fly.
--[] Mana Blade - Extend a blade made out of mana for extra cutting power and improved close-quarters combat
--[] Charge Cartridge - Store mana in bullet casings for later use.


Basically Vista gotta go fast! Also this plan is made with the idea that Vista can learn the bigger summon('s) later and go fast while cutting up the enemy. Building up to summoning a big something and then blitzing the enemy. Cartridges just in case the summonings take too much.

Full Naruto seems like the most interesting option out of the 3.
As for the spells:
The first 2 allow her to immediately have access to a high level of mobility, which is needed with the decreased defense.
We don't need the boss summon immediately, and the summon spell allows her to distract enemies away from herself.
Flare Blade gives her a close-combat option that is also non-lethal, unlike her arm cannon.

No. No, you can't. You can add more spells on, but once you pick her Device, that's what she has. Mages almost always use the same Device the whole time.

She can't get Flare Blade, but I assume you mean some kind of weapon-enhancing spell since you're voting to give her a physical weapon.

If she has a physical weapon, why does she need to create another weapon? Unless like landcollector and Demojay you meant for this to be an enhancement to the weapon she is carrying.

The downside is that she can only use the Swarm version of her summons, which aren't super helpful in a fight.

Ahem. I think Skitter would like to have a word with you...


EDIT: ACTUAL VOTE

[X] (Boost Device) Summoner
Look people, we've put poor Missy in enough danger as it is. Half the thread seems to be grooming her to be the perfect future waifu (which always weirded me out a little but let's not go into that I'm sure the mods have gotten involved over it in the past...), and the other half loves her as the best friend and sidekick The World Deserves. Maybe we should stop throwing her directly at the danger like she's a projectile weapon?

-[X] (Device) Honestly I have nothing for names. Count this as a vote for the #2 choice when tallying, or something?
-[X] (one-handed weapon) A simple hatchet
Axes are cool, and totally underused. But Missy is still somewhat small, and as much as I love the anime archetype of tiny girl with ridiculously oversized weapon (Looking at you, Presea Combatir from Tales of Symphonia) I'm not sure that'd go over too well with super-practical Missy. And Hatchets are quite practical.

For the spells, I can't find the list of possibles, so here's my unnamed ideas:
-[X] Something for dimensional transference
She's loved the idea of just going to different worlds on a lark, right? This seems like a lock. EDIT EDIT: or maybe this is how she summons? Summoning does imply that she's calling something that exists somewhere else, after all.
-[X] Something for going fast (Haste?)
Practical Missy would always want a GTFO option. If that option also can double as a "get up in somebody's face to beat the shit out of them RIGHT NOW" I think she'd be ecstatic!
-[X] Some form of spatial warping
She's had this ability for years, she'd probably end up going for something like this just out of pure habit.
-[X] Something to heal her own wounds (regeneration perhaps)
This is the girl who was proud enough to stitch wounds she got from Hookwolf because she didn't want anybody to fuss over it. She also lost an arm and was back up within weeks, ready and rarin' to go. Being self-sufficient is just How Missy Do.

Pretty much that, yeah. Boosting the cutting power.

Yeah I noticed the flare part and decided on the most generic word. Want the Extra cutting power, Should it be Strike blade or... ehh...

Yes I did. Should we change to something like Boost Up: Strike Power?

Your current votes are fine. I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page.

In that case, maybe first go acceleration to make her the fastest thing alive.

Strike Boost affects speed and physical hitting power (because physics says they are directly connected), but Boosts like this don't work on the user.

I will say, @landcollector , I find it odd that your vote calls for her to be a summoner but you 1) have no summons in your spell list and 2) are giving her Temporal Sludge and a melee spell with no way for her to counteract the effect of Temporal Sludge on herself when she gets in close. What was the attack style you had in mind for this combination?
 
Not exploiting Missy as a summoner would pain me, so I'm stuck between the Full Naruto option and a plain Boost Device.
Actually, no, it's Missy, hit-and-run style combat. Give her that speed-boost.

[X] (Boost Device) Full Naruto
-[X] (Device) Scenic View
-[X] (Weapon) Shock Baton
-[X] Aerial Combat
-[X] Blitz Action
-[X] Swarm Summon
-[X] Cover - Invisibility

Flight and Speedboost are mandatory, considering what the Sonic Form effect is. Speedy Missy.
For melee, giving her a shock baton is fine. No need for a spell there.
We're getting her summons, that's the entire point of adjusting to a Boost Device over an Armed one in my view. Not starting with her summons would just be sad.

And as for Cover... what's worse than fighting someone really fast? Someone who's also invisible.
It also adds some protection to cover for the lower quality of defence, can't hit someone you can't see. Or, at least, nowhere near as easily.

Demojay specifically said 'non-lethal', would it actually work that way?

It helps that Skitter's swarm could A) fly (and thus get into all those wonderful orifices) and B) had lots of venomous members. We've no idea whether Missy's summons will fit either of those categories.

I don't know where the full spells list is and was working off of taking spells from our arsenal that I felt might be useful.
 
i like both Evasion and Fighting Dreamers, ( @Elwyn has a nice one as well) and since we don't have to have the blade as a spell, can we possibly find a compromise here?

It would. The spell would enhance the kinetic force behind the weapon, meaning on non-lethal it would have a bludgeoning effect and on lethal it would (if applicable) enhance cutting power. That's against living targets, of course. It would be a cutting boost against nonliving targets on both settings.

I can confirm that they don't fly and aren't venomous. They are also larger and far less numerous than Skitter's bugs.

You don't have to pick known or named spells. You can just give a description like "spell to make her hits stronger" or "swarm summon" or something, and I'll tell you if she can't do them for one reason or another (unlikely considering her rank) or if it's okay, I'll come up with a decent name when I'm finalizing her spell list.
Demojay said:
Would a Strike Boost that just works on the user be possible then?

That would basically be a weapon enhancement spell, which is how I will be interpreting your current Flare Blade vote.
