[CAUTION] Today's update is going to be Shi-heavy in content....

Umm... I just want to say in advance, I-I'm sorry about this, I didn't mean to be so self-indulgent....

- Some perspective drawing and minor re-styling for the Gale Shield/Blade. (SWF)
- Well, I know it seems like I'm unfairly targeting one character for humiliation, but I've re-named Fin's Unleash to Uni-form. It's supposed to stand for universal or unity, honest....
- I kinda played around a bit with the supposed future and its Rider, Kine (Kaini) and came up with his powered up mode, Rising Sun form.
- XS form (CrossSystem) is Integ's ultimate form. Sorry about the intentional bad pun (Excess form)....
- Ok, for fun, I ran most of my characters through the Flanderisation test and... well, the results weren't good....
- Made a few more stat revisions. I really shouldn't spend any more time on this, it's not necessary....
- Just for fun, I had a little think about character roles and types, not too important....
- "Possessing strong roots, withstanding any environment and condition...."; "Within a rank of its own, a Master Fungal Druid.... Shiitake Miko." - Uhh-hhahha... I guess, I shouldn't even try to comment on that.... (SWF)
- "Umm... I think I've had enough tea for one day...." Just another random Shi-chan quote. (SWF)
- A small ending change, that doesn't really affect the story at all... but to summarise, well... 1-track mind FTW...? (SWF)
- As a bonus, Fin now has a new final attack, Rider Manji Vortex. It's a combination of Rider Double Blow, Rider Launcher and Rider Arrow Kick together.
- Had a slight look back and realised I need to create a pocket dimension for Eri's wardrobe....
- Changed a few "system" names to make them sound more fancy... and uh, convoluted, I guess.... Well, to explain, GDR-01 uses an "Emit System" (unchanged) that runs through a Photon Emission Normalisation Structure (PENS). It's kinda a pointless detail, in the past it was simply the Emit System running through a specially designed combat suit... Oh well....
- Umm, I really shouldn't have bothered... well, trying explain where the Swift armor comes from, the pseudo-science I created was that the suit and Gale Shield were formed from drawing in any kind of particles from the surroundings/air and during the "de-henshin" phase, it simply disperses back into the air. Umm... it is a bit silly, sorry.... (SWF)

Ok, one last thing before I post this. I'm going to Hong Kong this Christmas, hopefully picking up a few nice things as well. But before I go, I want to try and leave a "going-away" present at the STK site. It's nothing too grand, just a little treat to tide over until the new year....

Oh, and... uhh, in case I don't leave another message on this blog for some time... um, h-happy christmas... and new year... I mean, and a happy new year....
