Pretty much bog-standard for modern Rituals...

What, they all include the bit about being able to banish it instead of losing the monster?

Incidentally, what's the ruling on the story-based cards? I'm thinking of taking Makiu, the Magical Mist if it's in, but if it isn't, I'll need to make a more typical deck.

It does exist

Huh. TV Tropes is out of date.

If he fails his Will roll, would he get a choice?

((Well, if he fails and picks the Saber, he might dispatch himself. ^_^))

Doesn't answer my question.

(it's kinda like the electro-cannons from the Matrix sequels)

I know it's irrelevant but doesn't Cypher use one near the end of the original?

And it was used on him. Karma!
Oh come on, it's a classic movie and Cypher's one of the bad guys anyway. And Rosebud was his sled.

The gun fires a single bolt of lightning out into space.

Wait, what?

((Quick question, when do I get in?))

Whenever.

Screw the pitch, for you see, there is science to do. I'll understand everything when with this I am through. There's spellcasting to be done and experiments to run, so enjoy while we're all still alive.

Words.

And yes, Pegasus might have done that to make money. I find myself doubting this, however, since he's already absolutely loaded. Unless, he's greedy. Or was short on cash. Still Pegasus strikes me as the kind of guy who would do something purely because it would annoy Kaiba. He's a bit of a dick, even if the Tournament on his island was some convoluted plot to bring back his wife.

Or if he was just trying to do what corporations do. And hey, it's not like making more Blue Eyeses is a crime against humanity (or at least something that hurts specific humans) like cutting worker wages or skimping on product safety or something is. And it even makes the fans happier, because they can own some of the more famous cards in Duel Monsters. There's basically no risk; if Pegasus Cardlines has any shareholders, they'd be demanding to know why he wasn't, once they found out.
But yeah, he'd do it to screw with Kaiba, too.

Right, anime-only cards are, as mentioned above, subject to GM's okay. Does anyone mind writing up Sapphire here, by the way? My browser is refusing to show the yugioh wiki at all.

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Hymn of Blessing". You can only use the effect of "Saphira the Dragon Princess" once per turn. During the End Phase of the turn this card is Ritual Summoned, OR during the End Phase of the turn a LIGHT monster was sent from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard while you controlled this face-up card: You can activate 1 of these effects.
● Draw 2 cards, then discard 1 card.
● Discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand.
● Add 1 LIGHT monster from your Graveyard to your hand.

Attack 2500, Defense 2400. Six stars. Light.
As for that Hymn of Blessing...

This card is used to Ritual Summon "Saphira the Dragon Princess". You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 6 or more. If a Ritual Monster(s) you control would be destroyed, you can banish this card from your Graveyard instead.

So, it's a bit above-standard.

Basically instead of having a weapon modified to use Dust to make it more powerful, they (through several shady parts of their history that have also resulted in an INCREDIBLE hatred for people with naturally powerful auras) actually have their own body modified to use Dust to strengthen herself. She also doesn't have an Aura, so her natural strength/defense is weak unless she increases it with crystals, which has effects not unlike a drug addiction.
...
Yeeeeah, weird.

She's a soulless cyborg.
Alright. First, while there are guard and possibly combat robots, there's no sign of any kind of cyborging technology. I'll let that pass, though, since there's a bigger issue...
She doesn't have an aura. Everything does, except the Creatures of Grimm and possibly inanimate objects. What the hell?

Although speed is apparently still pretty OP, so long as you don't roll badly.

Hm.

How was Kyle dickish? He tried to make things as easy as possible on Hilda and only left when that wasn't working.

For once, I agree with Kyle's actions. He wasn't really wanting to pursue a relationship with a girl he hadn't seen in years when he hadn't even talked to another person in years. That's not only reasonable, it's a sign of development (or at least change), since once he would have jumped on the chance to sleep with a woman.

Just so you all know, I did not do that.

"Uh-huh..."

Hurry to the Orca and hope it's a space-mech!

Aw man. First my ship was the first to lose its captain, then the ship I was on was the first to be destroyed.

...

Shouldn't the commandeered Dark Drake have taken more damage from the ship exploding with enough force to kill everyone onboard?

I'll need to check over the thread to remember who my character was and why, specifically, she was slapping Kyle, but I pretty much remember what we were doing and what problems we had.

I'm in.
