Alvis' Launch Bay (Soukyuu no Fafner units)

[Umbaglo]

The following is a preliminary collection of units from the show Soukyuu no Fafner. Before the units, however, there are 2 abilities associated with them.


Siegfried System

Type: Sidekick

Description: When deploying, this unit's team chooses one Subclass from one of the participating players on that team. This Subclass cannot have been deployed in this match. Siegfried System on all allied units has Seishin and SP equal to the chosen Subclass, and is shared among all units with Siegfried System. UPs given to Siegfried System are given to the chosen Subclass.

This ability works like this: A dude at the main HQ gets into a special cockpit. This dude can then communicate and co-pilot any allied Fafner unit which has been registered into the system. The dude can also control support units.


Aegis Shield

Type: Barrier

Description: Negates 20 damage from any source for 1 EN.

Just your typical barrier. Blocks black hole lasers and other Festum attacks. Nothing unusual.


The Lindwurm is Alvis' combat transport. It can only carry a single Fafner (and only certain types), but it also enhances the Fafner's combat capabilities with more mobility, flight capability, and more weaponry.

The Grapple Pod is a claw mounted on the right wing which extends outwards, grabs the target, and then holds it in place while another weapon engages it.

The Missile Pod is self-explanitory. It shoots missiles at things.

The Laser Cannon is a high-powered laser mounted in the tail. The tail can move and bend itself to target an enemy in any direction.

Next is the first Fafner unit. This unit is piloted by the main character.

Punch is self-explanitory. Mark Elf has pistons in the wrists which give more oomth to the strike.

Rhine Blade is your typical knife.

Grapple Lines are a series of lines mounted in a launcher under the knuckles which shoot out and entangle the target.

Garum-44 is your typical machine gun.

The Laser Rifle is a typical laser gun.

The Ruga Lance is like a combination claymore/energy gun. The Fafner can use the Lance like a sword, but can also take the Lance, shove it into the target, and then the blade expands outwards to open the wound, into which the hilt fires an energy shot.

Lastly, the Rail Gun fires a large beam shot. I didn't name it, they did.

This is the Mark Elf when docked with the Lindwurm. It gains the attacks the Lindwurm has, loses the punch and Line Blade (because the Lindwurm extends too far forward of the Fafner to make those attacks effective), and gains another attack.

The Laser Sword is a solid blade sword with a laser beam projected along the edges, like Sword Strike's Schwert.

The following units take something into consideration. It is assumed that hand mounted Fafner weapons are standardized across all of the models. This is shown to be true with a large number of the weapons, though many are only used once.

Mark Sechs was the second released Fafner unit. This one differed from Mark Elf by the the flight pack on it's back. It also had a backup weapon and a self-destruct system. Which it used in it's first fight, and we never saw the thing again. Shame.

Mark Vier and Mark Drei were the next 2 Fafners. Mark Vier proved itself quite unremarkable, however, and died about as quickly as Sechs. There's no real point in statting Vier, as it'd end up like Elf.

The Electrified Spike Launcher is a little electrified spike on a cable that gets shot at stuff. And electrocutes them.

Fafner Finger is a Shining Finger. That's it. And no, that's not the official name. As far as I can see, there isn't one.

Mark Drei can also dock with the Lindwurm. The end unit is pretty much the same as Elf, except it has the spike launcher as well.

Mark Funf is your basic tank. It's piloted by a wanna-be SR pilot, and comes with a barrier system. Funf takes the hits for the rest of the team. The barrier projector system is mounted on the back, and prevents it from docking with the Lindwurm like it's counterpart unit, Drei.

Goubain Smash is like Daisetsusan Oroshi. Funf grabs the Festum, twirls it around a bit, then throws it. Though the only time it's used in the show, the thing was already dead.

This one is the sniper of the Fafner team. The Dragon-Tooth Rifle is a high-power sniper rifle. Otherwise, it's just a normal Fafner.

This is a MP version made by the Neo United Nations army to combat the Festums based on the Alvis models. They also die by the bushel, like all good MP things do. I wish it had at least one more weapon, though. Both weapons take the place of the arms, leaving no room for anything else. At least it looks neat.


Gnosis

Statistics:
HP: 30, EN: 15, IS: 4, Move: G, Size: M[/color]

Weapons:
Gatling Gun (SV) 8 damage/PC
Rail Gun (B)- 25 damage, 2 EN/shot[/color]

Inherent Abilities:
1) Usable by anyone
2) Countershoot: Gatling Gun[/color]

The Njord is Alvis' basic AI fighter craft. They suck.

The Welle Shield Projector can do 2 things. It can either encase a Fafner to protect it from enemy attacks, or it can encase an enemy to prevent it from acting. Basically like the Dividing Driver, but within a barrier instead of a spatial pocket.


Njord

Statistics:
HP: 10, EN: 10, IS: 0, Move: F, Size: S[/color]

Weapons:
Laser Cannon (B)- 10 damage/EN

Combo Attacks:
Welle Shield Projector- 5 EN/use[/color]

Inherent Abilities:
1) Dodge Cost is 5
2) Dodge Cost -5
3) Countershoot: Laser Cannon
4) Welle Shield Projector: Requires 3 allied Njords. May be used on an ally or an enemy. If used on an ally, negate all attacks against targeted ally. If used on an enemy, targeted enemy may not be targeted by weapons or abilities while this ability is active. Enemy may only target the Njords used for this combo. Effect lasts until at least one Njord used in this combo is destroyed, or controller decides to stop. All Njords used in this combo cannot act while this ability is active.[/color]

N/A. This is an AI unit.

[Berrik]

Why is Rail Gun a (B) on all of them?

[Umbaglo]

Lastly, the Rail Gun fires a large beam shot. I didn't name it, they did.

That's why.

[CowboyJohnny]

Poor Mark Elf, ending up suckiest of the Nottung Models by default.


Anyway, most of my Fafner is elsewhere, but I can mention a couple things:

No Punch for Mark Sechs?

Electrified Spike Launcher is one of the standardized hand weapons - Mark Sein uses one in 19.

I'm not sure yet whether I like that [Gun] or want to suggest something else, but regardless the second hit should probably ignore barriers as well; the energy runs up the sides of the sword.

Funf can dump the Aegis pack. As things are statted now it might be pointless to let it dock with Lindwurm, but possibly it could have a DC penalty relative to the rest of the Fafners when it has Aegis on, and lose the penalty if it dumps Aegis - just an idea.

[Umbaglo]

Yeah, but Sein can use everything because of magic.

As for Elf, yeah. But at least it evolves into Sein.

I think I meant to remove Punch from everyone, since only Elf showed it had the pistons, but I might as well add it.

In episode 12, when the Goubain Gang are taking on the Festum themselves, Soushi says that Funf is faster then the other models. And at the very least, it still moves just as quickly as everyone else.

And hey, when it comes to any name that's unofficial, I'm open to suggestions.

[Kyoryushin]

I kinda like the Seigfried sys, acts like a extra SAMW slot. Oh a question, let say we have 3 guys with seigfried System, and ou choose a class to be maning the sys, after the fight, all 3 deployed players can give UP directly to the Seig pilot right?

[Umbaglo]

That's exactly what the description states.

[Eis Attacker! Ver.W]

Looks like Fafners are L size. I found a Fafner article in one of the old Newtype mags that says the Nothung Model stands 35m tall~

[Umbaglo]

Wow, I noticed they were huge, but I didn't think it was that huge.

[Mafty Navue Erin]

Just disgressing, but it seems that not all people can pilot Nothung Fafners.

Granted that anybody can pilot one with just an injection...but that injection results to a lot more than just giving the ability to pilot...

Just wondering what are your opinions regarding this? Will a need to 'simulate' the effects of such a process be needed? Because the way I see it, if Ep.22 hadn't shown that a normal person can become a Nothung pilot by just an injection, the Nothung pilots are not at all different from something like a CoE.

[Umbaglo]

Not just anyone can pilot a Jeeg, either. Or GaoGaiGar. Or a Megadeus. Or a Virturoid. Nor can anyone actually "pilot" a SD Sengokuden.

In other words, I completly and totally ignored it. There's no point in trying to simulate it. What would it end up being? Certainly not a pilot class; Fafner pilots don't display any sort of ability other then being able to pilot a Fafner. And we already have 2 classes whos only basis is that (hopefully it'll only be one soon).

[Mafty Navue Erin]

Down, boy~. The thought just sprang up in my head, because somebody might raise a fuss about it in the near future. I'm not pushing for it, but was merely asking the opinions of people. I apologize if I pushed your buttons in the wrong way.

[Umbaglo]

You wern't pushing anything. I was just responding with my logic. I wasn't doing what you seem to think I was.
