- Most Tropers Are Young Nerds, and are mostly male. So, like me, pretty much.
- Lost somewhere in my twenties.
- Just East of the Centre of the Universe... A.K.A, Quebec.

There are notes here. Who are they for? Mostly for me, but I suppose you can look at them if you want. They are on display, after all. But be warned: Spoilers ahead! And no cheating!
Characters
- Hana Matoi
- First appears in CDT Frontier.
- Brilliant geneticist, cyberneticist. Capable strategist. Devoted fascist, Social Darwinist, eugenics advocate. Hakoda Empire politician.
- Magnificent Bastard
- Evil Virtues: she cares about her Strikers, about her country, and about humanity's destiny.
- Wicked Cultured
- The Social Darwinist
- Evilutionary Biologist
- Mad Scientist
- Miyuki Satoi
- First appeared in CDT Capital, again in Frontier.
- Striker One
- Purpose-built, genetically engineered cyborg supersoldier for the Hakoda Empire. A serious girl who hides her feelings well. Hoshi's best friend.
- Loony Friends Improve Your Personality : Miyuki is very serious. Hoshi is... Not... They're an unlikely duo, but they are friends.
- The Stoic
- The Unfettered : Although not permanently in this state, and although she is sometime hesitant, the trope otherwise fits Miyuki well.
- Claire:
- Mansion: "a young woman, looking to be somewhere in her mid twenties or so, with smooth, pale skin and short, light-brown hair. She sported a surprisingly clean white lab coat with black pants and a matching shirt, though her feet were clad in large, black military boots - now caked in mud - that perhaps looked a bit out of place on her."
- Notes:
- Robot Girl ; a highly sophisticated android, originally designed with espionage, infiltration and assassination in mind. Has since gone rogue, seeking a new directive/purpose and exploring existentialism. Near-light speed processing, near infinite capacity for information.
- High-tech world, presence of magic is undermined
- Mansion: "a young woman, looking to be somewhere in her mid twenties or so, with smooth, pale skin and short, light-brown hair. She sported a surprisingly clean white lab coat with black pants and a matching shirt, though her feet were clad in large, black military boots - now caked in mud - that perhaps looked a bit out of place on her."
- Tamara:
- At 8, in Mansion: "A little girl, probably about eight or so, with tanned Caucasian skin and long, black hair. She wore a lavender blouse and dark blue skirt, accompanied by now-practically destroyed black sneakers. She nervously clung to her friend's side, seeming quite anxious, and was obviously dressed for warmer weather."
- At 14, in Archipelago: "Looks 16, is actually 14. A Caucasian teenage girl with black hair tied back in a ponytail. Carries a katana on her back."
- Notes:
- A mage from a family of mages. From birth, part of Hecate's Coven, just like her family. Words of Power are Latin.
- At age 8: Happy-go-lucky, cheerful. Very curious, thirsty for knowledge. Honest and kind. A bit of a tomboy. Enjoys nature and animals.
- At age 14: Naive, insecure, inexperienced. Ambitious and stubborn. Anxious to prove herself to herself and others. Rebellious. Still a tomboy, still curious. Kind-hearted.
- Carries a (sheathed) black katana that is infused with strange, dark energy. Dark energy briefly absorbs some light from surrounding environment when sword is drawn. It originally belonged to her older sister's lover, who became a friend of he family, and he gave it to her as a gift when he got a superior weapon. It has killed many creatures from the void. She barely knows how to use it, and sometimes has trouble commanding it.

Settings
- Claire's setting
- High-tech sci-fi.
- Some group obviously has in-depth knowledge of AI, robotics and nanomachines, as well as vast resources, given that Claire had to be built by someone.
- This group is some military or other, as Claire was created for espionage and assassination.
- An Alternate Earth
- Tamara's setting
- Magic is inherent to the whole of normal reality, and so (at least in-universe), antimagic only serves to dampen magical abilities
- Witches/Sorceresses and Wizards/Sorcerers all belong to a worldwide group called Hecate's Coven
- There was a Masquerade, but it was broken when (unnamed BigBad's faction) attacked San Francisco, then broken in a much bigger way when Hecate was released from her prison.
- The world is engulfed in one big fight between Heaven, Hell, Hecate's Coven, non-magical humans' Paranormal Defence Agencies, (the unnamed Big Bad's faction) and The Void
- Rogue elements from the Coven, some PDAs and some unaffiliated others united to form "The Guardians", which seek peace without any side gaining total world domination.
- Strike Fighter Universe
- Originally the concept of an anime I would never be able to make, called Strike Fighter: Wretched Earth
- Sci-fi post-apocalyptic version of what was formerly known as Japan's mainland.
- The island, though not terribly hospitable, is the only known habitable place on the planet. Thus, the "continent" is the whole world. And it's called Ailyss.
- The fascistic Hakoda Empire exists to the North, facing off against its likely-permanent enemy, Kagos Republic.
- The middle of the island is a desolate no man's land of heavily irradiated wastelands. The frontlines of both the warring nations are constantly shifting though this area. Nevertheless, people try to flee from either country and establish settlements there. It's usually a deadly endeavour, for various reasons.
- Black-and-Gray Morality : Kagos may suffer from a great deal of inequality, it may have a corrupt democracy and it may treat its many, many conscripts like cannon fodder... But at least it isn't founded on principles set out by Social Darwinists, eugenics advocates, and fascists, right?
- You might say it's a Crapsack World, and you might be right...
- "Strikers" are genetically engineered, cybernetically enhanced supersoldiers of the Hakoda Empire.
- Transhuman : Hana created the Strikers partially because she seeks to create the ultimate human.
- Übermensch : What Strikers would ideally be.
- Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke
- Cyborg + Bio-Augmentation
- Designer Babies
- Nanomachines : They make for a fantastic Healing Factor!
- SuperSoldiers
- Future Spandex : Of course, it's not actually spandex...
