Am I really the first person to post about Gundam Girl? Wow! Never been first before!

So I was watching Uber and Leet's latest show, and I saw her, and it was awesome! She was firing off these huge lasers, and she took down Glory Girl on accident. I hope Glory Girl is okay. Do you think she was always supposed to be part of Uber and Leet's show? I mean, what are the chances a Gundam-magical-girl themed cape would show up at the same time they did a livestream wearing Gundam costumes?

Video link is [here].

Also, holy shit, isn't Glory Girl supposed to be the next Alexandria? Does this mean she isn't really invulnerable?

Edit: Deleted my speculation about her identity because I remembered just after I'd posted it that we're not supposed to do that. I caught it before I got temp-banned this time!

Edit:
Her cape name is Starfall. I think Gundam Girl is way better, but I asked the mods to change the name of this post anyway.

Edit:
Video of the Protectorate Rig Blackout is [here]
Discussion of her official protectorate ratings is [here]

I was literally about to hit 'post' on my own version of this topic when XxVoid_CowboyxX's post showed up on the forum. *sighs*

Watching that video again… did we just see a girl get super powers? I'm pretty sure I heard Laserdream say that Gundam Girl had just triggered.

It's a really cool Japanese anime show from before Kyushu. I know a couple people who go to my school who are into it. It's got a really big franchise on Aleph, but our version of it died in '88.

Bagrat
I don't know. It seems staged to me.
Her powerset sounds pretty New Wave, though. Blaster/mover/shaker. She even matches the color scheme! I bet she's a new member. Maybe she's Fleur's long lost daughter!

Is it just me, or are Uber and Leet insanely lucky that Gundam Girl triggered when she did? Seriously, if she hadn't, I'm pretty sure those missiles would have killed her. It was decent of them to censor her in their footage of her before her transformation, too.

Not sure how I feel about Gundam Girl taking down Glory Girl like that. I would never have guessed her invulnerability wasn't absolute… I guess it just takes a sufficiently powerful doomlaser to hurt her.

And you were doing so well…

It was a one in a million chance. Those missiles were high-maneuverability micro-missiles with pretty low-yield warheads. You wouldn't want to get hit in or near the face unless you had helmet on, but you could survive being hit by one. Also, they looked fucking badass.

So I've got the official numbers from Starfall's PRT threat assessment, ready to be dropped into your grubby little hands. She went in for power testing as part of her registering as an Protectorate Affiliated Cape, and now they've got Starfall ranked as follows:
Blaster 7
Shaker 2
Mover 4
Thinker 4
Changer 0

►RedStrong
Replied On Dec 27th 2010:
Wow! That spread is pretty impressive. Isn't Blaster 7 just a step below Purity? I bet they raise that assessment pretty soon. Starfall could kick Purity's ass any day of the week. Any word if she's going planning 2 join the Wards? I'd love 2 see her teamed up with Shadow Stalker some time. It'd be a total classic pairing. Why do u think she has Changer 0?

Probably means she has a Changer power that isn't actually dangerous. Like maybe she can change her hair color or something. I guess you're a Gundam Girl fan?

Starfall, not Gundam Girl. And you better believe it. Another strong female cape is exactly what this city needs. The fact that she makes pink badass is just a bonus. I almost picked up an unlicensed t-shirt the other day, but I'm holding out for her to get official merchandise!

Took me a bit, but I found it:
Nova was… Striker 6, Brute 4, Mover 4. Initial ratings were lower: Striker 5, Brute 2, Mover 2.
Martial artist with the ability to release concussive "novas" when she strikes a surface. Superhuman flexibility and reaction times, able to accelerate and move faster than Olympic athletes. Brute ability might be a breaker state of some sort, her costume does not react like normal materials should.
She was one of the capes that worked for Lustrum, and got into a lot of fights against the Brockton Bay Brigade. She and Brandish were considered evenly matched for a while. The information says she had heterochromatic eyes, but it doesn't give any further description.

Topic: The Great Kitten Raid of Boston
In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Boston (Public Discussion)
MostlyHarmless (Original Poster) (Veteran Member)
Posted On Jan 9th 2011:
So a whole bunch of parahumans from Brockton Bay came to Cambridge yesterday to make trouble for our favorite local biotinker. The official investigation is still ongoing, and power is still out to the whole damn city; I'm typing this up on my phone, so you'll have to forgive the spelling errors.

What we know:
- A villain gang from Brockton Bay called The Undersiders broke into Blast's Lair some time before 9:30 PM.

- After successfully capturing that giant kitten that was wandering around downtown Boston back before the new year, Blasto made 11 more of them. Because who doesn't like giant kittens? I mean like, almost 50 foot tall kittens.

- At 9:31 PM, a gigantic beam of golden light like a great big 'fuck you' from Scion himself came burning out of the ground on the other side of the river and cut a big rig truck in half on its way to the sky. A dozen goddamn Kaiju sized kittens came bolting out of the hole the beam had made and went romping up River Street and across the bridge into Cambridge.

- a teenage girl with lightning powers and a big golden lightning-scythe came flying after them accompanied by a weird oversized fox-wolf-thing.

- the Undersiders came racing after them riding on the back of school-bus sized giant spiky armored rhino monsters. The Undersiders and the Golden Girl and her giant fox - and no, this post is NOT an extended Bea Arthur and Bettie White joke - threw down. People started to panic. Explosions and lightning everywhere. A shell station got blow to bits. Then things get weird.

- The Protectorate and the PRT start to mobilize. Starfall* and Glory Girl, both from Brockton Bay, are seen flying towards the scene from the Protectorate building.

Then all signs of the battle except for the fire at the shell station just vanish. Like it was never there. Glory Girl and Starfall get within 5 blocks of the scene, and they vanish, too.

Like seven minutes later, there's this flash of light that people can see from Bunker Hill to I don't even know where, and suddenly the entire area around the fight is completely wrecked. The Riverside Press Park is pulverised, the street is so much powder, the Rite Aid across the street is a pile of burning rubble, and the Whole Foods might as well be, and the entire Boston Metropolitan Area loses power.

What the fuck, Brockton Bay? Do you people not have enough trouble in your own city that you have to come here to fuck up our days, too? I mean, I realize as the spiritual home of the American Nazi Party you've got a lot of shit to smear all over things, but do you think you can refrain from throwing it at other cities like a bunch of goddamn bonobos?

Edit: spelling, and apparently it's not Gundam Girl, it's Starfall

Did I miss something? It seems like the whole world is going crazy about Starfall and Fate and Myrddin and people are claiming magic is real, and not just in the normal 'parahuman powers are magic' way people usually did. If magic is real, and has been on Earth for a while assuming Myrddin isn't just a delusional parahuman, and if Starfall and Raising Heart are telling the truth… Can someone with some expertise on the subject help me out here? What exactly IS magic? What's the history behind magic, really? Are all the folktales and legends and all of that true?

I know I'm supposed to contribute if I'm making the thread, but it seems like the people who actually can contribute are people like Starfall and Myrddin. And Fate, I guess, if she reads PHO.

Okay. I learned magic from my grandfather. Waking up to your magical potential isn't necessarily like becoming a parahuman. It kind of depends. There are meditation exercises you can do to find out if you have magical potential, but it takes focus and dedication. Some people have worked at it for months or years before they see anything one way or another.

There aren't many magic users around, these days. Besides my grandfather, me and Starfall, I've only ever run into maybe twelve others. To answer GStringGirl's earlier question, I'm not sure about the folktales and legends being true or not. There are definitely nonhuman beings that are around that will claim to be spirits or gods or whatever. I'm pretty sure they're all full of shit, but I can't be 100% sure. They're really, really rare. They were more common back before Scion. Not 'you are ever likely to run into one' common, but more common than they are now.

Is it roughly analogous to the Corona Gemma? … No, that's not quite it. Does every human have a Linker Core?

So how do you tell if you have magic? Myrddin - you said there were meditations?

AllSeeingEye - There's actually a lot of interesting research being done on the subject. It was originally thought that everyone had one, and that in some people it created such a negligible amount of interaction between that person and Dimensional space that they effectively didn't have one. But Doctor Scaglietti published a paper on the subject before he went into hiding that suggested that humans don't have them by default, but that the interaction of standard space and the Dimensional Sea causes them to manifest spontaneously in a small percentage of humans on otherwise non magical worlds.

LostArcheologist - As magic use becomes more common, Linker Core manifestation increases in frequency until a critical mass is reached in a cascading chain reaction… do you think it's an engineered process?

That was his hypothesis. It hasn't quite gained general acceptance yet, but there are research projects under way on several different Non-Administrated worlds that should start to give better evidence soon, one way or another.

That's some really interesting information. Can you tell me what you mean by Non-Administrated worlds?

Cool user name, 4th. Is that a Borg reference? I know we never got anything past the Original Series for Star Trek, but the later series from Aleph are really cool!

Private message from Vista (Verified Cape) (Wards ENE):
Vista: Starfall, what's up with that tag? Unverified Princess?
Starfall: I don't wanna talk about it.
Vista: Come on! Pleeeease? I'll be your best friend forever!
Starfall: Vicky's already my BFF.
Vista: I'll be your second best friend forever.
Starfall: -.-
Vista: Come on, tell me.
Starfall: It's embarrassing.
Vista: It can't be that bad.
Starfall: *sighs* Fine. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else.
Vista: My lips are sealed.
Starfall: I don't know all the details, but my mom came from another world called Midchilda that's in another dimension. Like Earth Aleph, except not an alternate Earth as far as I know. And according to Raising Heart, mom was a member of a royal bloodline called Sankt Kaiser or something. Which makes me…
Vista: AN ALIEN MAGICAL PRINCESS!?
Starfall: …
Vista: … Sorry.
Starfall: …
Vista: Awkward silence. I deserve that.
Starfall: Technically, I'm an alien magical Sankt Prinzessin.
Vista: :)
