Quote:And I know how she figured it out, too! See, at some point she's going to have a chance to try and talk Ken's father into teaching her magic or something really cool - and, since, although he doesn't think she's really going to learn anything fast enough for it to be useful, any help for his boy is good news in his books, he agrees.
Well, one of the relatively recent anime I found quite amusing was Airmaster, and one of the reasons I liked it was that the least capable fighter character, half-rival and half-comic-releif, was the first to discover and use what one might call a chi attack in the anime/fighting game sense. Given that her ideal of fighting is (similarly enough to a certain other project of ours) to invest her body with all of her passion and strike with its explosive force... Um, yeah. I think the super martial arts are likely for Tsuchi, in a worldwhere they are possible at all.
And then, once he's finished lecturing, she sort of blinks, then plops down right there with her chin on one fist and her brow furrowed in though - before we cut to a chibivision explanation of how she's taking what he's just told her and melding it with what her martial arts studies have already taught her about ki and the body's energy and such.
Cue Tsunade-pawah. Or whatever.
Quote:Just the sound. It seems like it'd suit her, somehow.
RE names - If I had any other suggestions, I would have made them, so these seem good enough. Have you a special rationale behind Miyou, or do you just like the sound of it?
Quote:With the Fanged and Stone dragons never bothering to pick up more than, as a rule, a basic handfull of spells - the magical equivalent of mall math - just because, when you're -that- high on the local food chain, there's not much point in going farther...
Discussed in that order, they form a spectrum from the most physically oriented to most intellectually, though individuals buck racial trends as often as in any other intelligent species.
Oh, and dragons almost certainly breed the same way humans do - one child at a time, with great care and investment of effort, since that's what tends to happen when a species' primary competition is others of its own kind.
Quote:I think that they'd be rather rarer than that - say, one in ten thousand... but that'd be offset somewhat by noting that, as generally solitary as dragons may be, they're just as capable as human parents of wanted their kids to grow up around a real peer group.
I think we need another character, a meek brain-type who's a Plumed dragon with an altogether ordinary, even mousy, human-suit transformation (and the two of them being in the same medium-size high school is about average population, probably, maybe even a bit high. Aside from their families, there should be one other, older dragon in the recurring cast, at the very most.)
So, when her father got a new job and had to move to whatever city we're setting this in, they picked the house they did so's to put her in the same school district with the only other dragon in the area around her age.
Oh, and I know who our other local dragon should be - a police chief or inspector, specifically the one who keeps getting assigned to look into all the wierd shit associated with this budding demonic invasion.
You do realize that either Keiu or Tsuchi is going to have to have a tragic romance with the obligatory redeemable-villian character?
Ja, -n
