Because it's easier than labelling every single one, credit for my latest batch of icons goes to http://hometown03.client.jp who seems to be a totally awesome kinda guy who actually draws Yuuno art!

Most of the other art was found on Danbooru but the other majority is those of the StrikerS Nano fancomics, to which credit is also due. Unfortunately due to the fact that a) as I said, found on Danbooru and b) most all of these artists would be, I assume, Japanese, this is as far as the credit can unfortunately go, since... communication with them's not an option.

Look at all my shiny icons. Mmm. You'd never know Yuuno was such a neglected character. Although it would be interesting to do a whole icon scheme based on anime pictures, the sheer fact that because Yuuno's underrepresented in the third season means he has very little actual canon icon material, but as for fan drawn artwork he's got lots . And it's all so good.

Relationship meme a la .hack//G.U. style. Inspired by harukami playing the game incessantly, and by toppedbyzaworld's meme. Comment here, listing your characters, and which of my characters they know. I'll reply with an affection~ meter~ to let you know what how they feel about you.

In terms of progression, it goes red --> blue --> yellow --> pink, with 1-5 dots signifying how close you are to moving to the next level. The base colour varies depending on the character.

I only have Yuuno!

Also, since I'm almost at 1000 comments and I was going to do this anyway, I will add some sort of free commentary in the manner of a normal relationships meme.

This is Yuuno.

Oh yes.

Since I've seen some people do it and some people not, I'm posting this for everyone's... benefit? Anyway, some RPers will insert honorifics into their posts for every character. Yuuno is the type of person to do this but unfortunately I as a player do not have the hang of it by a long shot. So you probably want to mentally insert them and assume he's saying them.

Yuuno follows the typically normal business of a very polite young man. So you will probably be (name)-san by and large.

"Wow, Yuuno!" you might say. "I've seen a little bit of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and people are shooting giant lasers and swinging huge laser swords around everywhere! You've got to have some sort of totally cool super lasers too, right?"

Well, uh.

Um.

TIME FOR A PERMISSIONS POLL.

Now, Yuuno is the custodian of a very large library in his canon. How large? Well, it's called Infinite for a reason. He's been in charge of it since he was about nine years old, because my canon is crackulated like that, and has learned quite a large amount of stuff about the various worlds, since Lyrical Nanoha is all about the protectors of the entire fundamental multiverse.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU? Well, simply put, I'd like to ask if it's alright if Yuuno knows about your world. And/or you personally, if there might be a book written about you, or of your adventures. Info in a book such as the makeup of the universe, local customs and info, the abilities of the natives, the important things there, all the kind of relevant records an interdimensional enforcement agency might keep if it's relevant that I could use to say 'hmm, yeah, I know about your place/stuff'. This might not be defined as criminal records, but more summaries or police reports of stuff that's happened in your world.

Also, if you have any interesting ruins or lost technologies there.

Name: Yuuno Scrya
Age: 16
Height: A little taller than average. Man, he shoots up like a beanpole after puberty.
Weight: 'Not Much'. Yuuno, you're so skinny.
Medical Info: The usual, aside from the presence of that ol' linker core which we're not sure is a physical organ or not, but uh
Eyes: Big and green. Wears glasses for reading or to look cool- he doesn't seem to need them all the time so they probably just have plain glass inside.
Hair: Blonde, sometimes with a ponytail, sometimes not.
Physical Traits: Not of Earth origin, but probably human in all other respects, unless he happens to be a ferret, in which case he is a small sandy-brown tube-shaped animal with brown paws and nose.
What's OK To Mention Around Him/Her: I'd rather not be given StrikerS spoilers if your character happens to know them in any way, because that will probably cause headaches especially because I'm not entirely sure how all that works given his current age. Yuuno takes a lot of things in his stride though so typically most stuff's alright. But if you make Nanoha/Fate jokes, also expect a reaction.
Abilities: Yuuno has quite a few and I might essay on these later. In short, he is a barrier/healing mage and has super healplz powers as well as buffs and debuffs. He is also the curator of the Infinite Library and has been so for about seven years, meaning he knows a LOT about a LOT, as one might expect. He can absorb, process and sort through data at an incredible rate, similar to a computer.
Notes for the Psychics: Yuuno is one. He can communicate with anyone he establishes permission with using telepathy, and his mind is a steel trap given his mental abilities. His head is filled with the knowledge of yore, but you can't especially waltz in and grab it.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/step on/spit at etc?: Yuuno is a shapeshifter so he's potentially resistant to the first, but the others, ask.
Maim/Murder/Death: I'm going with no; again, healplz, he has that whole 'good thing you can heal' factor.
Cooking: Somehow, I get the feeling he's pretty good at it. Probably learned from his tribe!
Physical Contact/Kissing/Hugging: 'Yes please'. XD It's all fine.

Character: Yuuno Scrya
Series: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Character Age: This character is taken from the 'timeskip' period between A's and Strikers, and is age 16.

Canon: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is a modern take on the magical girl anime. Beginning with what seemed like a whimsical adventure with a talking ferret, Takamichi Nanoha (cheerful daughter of assassins and martial artists) quickly found herself dropped into a full-time job working for the Time-Space Administration Bureau (TSAB). Over the next few years of her childhood, she spent her time making friends and allies while defusing attempts by criminals and terrorists who used powerful relics from other worlds called 'lost logia' to create calamities. Bringing rivals and enemies around with her kindness and endless inner strength, she becomes one of the most powerful mages history had ever known.

Yuuno Scrya was the ferret that started the whole thing. Or to be more precise, he was a young archeologist from the parallel world of Mid-Childa who had disguised himself as a ferret. He granted the weapon 'Raising Heart' to Nanoha in their first encounter. Since, has been her moral, emotional and physical support. Practically a savant, he maintains the Infinite library in the TSAB despite his young age, and persists in the archeological job he excelled in since childhood.

Although he's educated and wise, Yuuno's biggest problem is his tendency to get in over his head, mainly due to his weakness in combat. He maintains an open rivalry with anyone who tries to belittle or control him- especially his de facto superior, Chrono Harlaown. He also has a strong fondness for Nanoha and an inability to express this very well. A mage, like many people in the TSAB, he personally excels in the field of shielding and healing magic. Unfortunately, when it comes to facing down six-legged abominations of ancient magic... well, you can see why he spends a lot of time in ferret mode.

Sample Post:
Administrated World #97, Earth! Louisiana! Somewhere in the south! 'Camp Fuck You Die'. An ominous name is... usually a good start. I mean, the big name archeologists always found interesting things in the Mines of Terror and the Temple of Cold Fear. I've seen quite a few lost technologies in my time, and I'll bet sweet potatoes on there being some forgotten ancient relic being something to do with all this.

I mean, just think. There are zombies everywhere, just like the cursed guardians of the Valley of Ruins. A barrier, like the Diamond Shield lost logia that was said to be the perfect defense of any villain's fortress. And somehow, people are being pulled in from all across the multiverse, which means there must be some kind of powerful machine here, like a ship that could sail through dimensions.

I'm... going to have to think this through. I can't just walk up to someone and say 'hello there, have you seen any strange items of otherwordly power in your local dark cave or strange abandoned temple?' ...I don't even know if there are temples in Louisiana. I should have really asked Nanoha for more information on this place before she left... assuming she even knows anything about America in the first place. I also should have maybe worn different clothes, considering what the weather is like here. And I definitely should have brought a tourist's guidebook.

Oh... So, let's review. Louisiana is a part of America, on Earth. Louisiana has swamps and is home to a variety of insect and reptile life, including crocodiles. Crocodiles probably eat ferrets, from what I've seen of them, so that's worth remembering.

...but I've only been here five minutes, and I haven't seen many crocodiles. I've seen some zombies. And I've felt that barrier a couple seconds after I got here. But... I don't think this part of a continent is prone to volcanic activity. And... gorillas or toucans shouldn't be native to this place either! And I did't even know animals could grow to be that large on any planet. And... this plant grows pies, this plant grows utensils to eat the pies, and this plant grows fire-breathing tomatoes, which don't seem to have any connection to anything else around here.

Now that I think about it, I don't think Nanoha would have been able to help me. Of course, at this rate, the odds of finding a strange, abandoned temple have shot way up!

Voting:83.3 per cent hooray!
