The Right Stuff: Survival in Felarya

*look at the Miratian Base* I smell nukes coming.

Bah, Nukes are too cumbersome in Felarya.

You need Fighter Jets and Railguns.

Oh, if you are religious, avoid angels. If you aren't still avoid them, but it will be amusing for you.

angels.

Dagnabbit, now you put the image in my mind of St. Celestine and a Pyromaniac Angel getting into a competition to see who can set the most Heathens on Fire.

The motivations of the guardians is really known only by them ^^
Hell they even move against each others sometimes

That would be awesome if these guardians disagreed at one point and just began clashing with eachother.

Well don't count on it too much though
They may have dispute at times, especially the hot-headed Quaz but they won't go as far as killing each others ^^

Aww...

Well, I was hoping for a story that involved a being that hoped to become a guardian, but had to fight a real guardian to get there.

Whether he lost or won was up to the world of Felarya, but still it would be a good piece of fiction.

Perhaps it could also show a rogue naga that doesn't know their place, so a guardian eats them.

That's vore on a whole new level.

Meh, I prefer those who trick their way into becoming a Guardian.

One who can Brute-Force a Guardian is already likely Guardian Level in power as is.

And God v God fights are often... less then plesant.

In general the world suffer from this battle with permanent injuries or it's destroy
Why did you think the think the gods don't fight directly it's because they have to much to loose in the battle

In the third story-arc of my stories, I was thinking about a huge governement presiding over every humans with advanced military power. The hunt is still good for the predators, but not as easy as before. In the end, it gets "disbanded" with hunting coming to almost what it was before. I'm inspiring it a bit on Neo Arcadia from Megaman Zero.

Hm, big power-jump on Felarya or an offshoot-planet? Similarly, if on Felarya, maybe only on a small isolated island?

As right now, I don't see how a Government could initialize such a rapid change so quickly. I also don't see how it could perform such in the first place.

I can go into it if asked, but that would take a long, LONG post, so I'll just PM you if you want my criticism (Which likely won't matter much anyways, as it's your fic and your choice on what to write about).

Please don't kill him, he is young

Just an idea I had, it's not definitive. Theres a gap of a couple of years between each story-arcs. Still, a big militaristic governement could increase odds of survivals for soldiers. Just think of the Miratians, they got a base in the most remote place from humans settlements and they still got more back-up from their planet which may come anytime. And they got a Naga with them who also turns out to be an expert at Ice Magic, they have power to make predators hunt more challenging.

It will increase their survival but that's all Rin is just an ice naga among another.

Ask you one thing if they developp an underground complex is to protect them against the many predators.

You know the hunt for the predator is always a challenge for the predators

I just thought of something, humans here uses either magic or technology to survive. What if they combined both magic and technology? It might be interesting. I'm not refering to Magitech in FFVI, there was hardly any magic with them.

It's the case of Negav city

The Isolon Eye makes the technological defense less useful except for Dusk Nymphs where the reverse is true. I was mostly thinking about equipments of high technology that uses the ambient magic of Felarya as its power. Given the craziness of this world, it's not impossible and the results might be interesting.

For exemple, I thought of a communicator that allows you to speak and hear from anyone you are on the same "wavelenght", in other words, close friends, from anywhere at all unless there's anti-magic aura or stuff in vicinity. It also work has an ordinary communicator using radio waves to communicate.

The problem when you find a solution, it's never perfect I explain in theory the Isolon Eyes gives a perfect protection but the problem some predator arrive to pass.

Your solution can work but there is a problem with the range, when you use a system like that you need to create or install a broadcast system, but the problem it's very similar to spiritual link of the dryads, so they may listen your communication.

The drawback of an advance technology is it doesn't work correctly in a low technology area, because due to its specificity it needs a solid maintenace behind.

Simply hiding won't be enough. One has to be undetected by Felaryan predators' special sense that allows them to sense the presence of their prey without seeing, hearing or smelling them. (By the way is this psychic in nature?)

Only Crisis has this ability as far as documentation goes, I don't think its racial.

Yes, it is:

I notice a lack of "Smell". Intentional or not?

If Intentional, that could be the Special Felaryan Sense: Absurdly Strong Smelling Capabilities.

If not, things just keep getting worse and worse for Non-Magic using species / parties.

I think it's a kind of sixth sense the predator develop, I say that because it has been shown we don't use 100% of our brain and our body. So in Felarya the predator due to the fact their brain are similar to our brain, I think they develop something latent we humans don't know or develop.

Hopefully their range has a limit which we can stay out of.
