As for Qawool, she has no excuse for being all perfect and innocent and likeable
I'm uncertain if your wecloming feedback
Throughout alternative world Quawool repeatedly comes into contact with Makoto. Makoto, as everyone probably knows, can activate machinery, any machinery apparently(by his actions in the alternative world). He is also not renowned for his high degree of control of this ability. Even just touching the decrepit LD player caused his veins to glow, bumping into a long inactivated robot caused it to awaken, merely touching Ifurita was enough to trigger a mental intrusion, etc. If she was some form of Ifurita prototype would she not have set off Makoto's "spider sense" multiple times.
... Jinnai / Shayla romance ... This is something that I can not see Jinnai do, not and remain the "lovable" meglomanical skeeving little dictator do. ... this way lies madness. The only people who have ever trully seemed to warm to Jinnai are those who are at least partially at odds with sanity. Diva, with a meglomania complex, and Kalia, who had psychosis built in.
I find your ideas regarding Alujah intriguing, cetainly it would explain his somewhat disturbing lack of limbs.
I also find your lamp as a mass produced weapon idea highly plausible. Given Ifurita's comments on recognizing everyone's fighting style, it seems highly likely that the relics were not entirely unique.
Still, given the amount of practice it seems to take to master one of the devices would preclude them being a personal defence weapon one could pick up in a corner shop.
Of course it goes without saying that when one is creating anything, it's your party, and you'll do what you want to.
all of what you wrote sounds pretty feasible, though I don't know about Makoto finding an entire crate of lamps
Princess Rune – personally, I believe her to be rather competent and good at ruling
As for fitting her in a story, you could always make use of a de-aging agent and have her revert to the younger and less mature TV Rune Venus persona.
More seriously though, you could add a political aspect to the story with a diplomatic crisis cropping up and dividing the Human Alliance when they need to be unified against a renewed Bugrom or Phantom Tribe threat.
Londs – a fascinating and disquieting analysis. ... it is doubtful that he’ll actually try to kill Alliele.
As for not letting them use a flight craft, it probably states somewhere that supplicants to the Holy Priestesses must ascend Mt. Muldoon by foot.
I'm thinking that htey are some sort of objects controlled by mental abilities.
After all, in the Wanderers, they say that a Priestess must go through rigourous mental and physical training to use them.
At least, that's what the OAV lead me to believe. I alos think that the Lamos a re gender specific, so that even if Makoto went through all the training Shayla did, he wouldn't be able to do dick with the Lamp Of Fire. Perhaps controlling the lamp is more genetic than anything, which would explain why all the fire priestesses had red hair, and all the water priestesses had pastel purple and blue (They always look the part)
I like your ideas on how Qawool is a Demon God, I believe that the "Ancient Tribe" that was previouly mentioned was perhaps the origional creators of Ifurita. So, in a way, Qawool is realted to her, sine she was made in a likeness of her former ancestors. That would also explain why Qawool and Ifurita have the same color eyes, hair, skin, etc. I'm also sure that Qawool's tribe created the Eye Of God, which would explain her strange and rather annoying link with the very device used to switch it off. Maybe that switch was created as a way to ensure that the Eye Of God would never destroy the world, as it did, and maybe that is why Ifurita was created, to protect it.
Part of my bias when determining Qawool as NOT BEING the cyborgian base for Ifurita is actually partly sister influence; she's a robot nut, but doesn't care for cyborgs. But seeing two of you have pushed for it, I may seriously have to reconcider.
Kinda like OAV1 or something more intricate?
Should the Phantom Tribe reinfiltrate the Alliance, they would have the ability to exacerbate and intensify these divisions and tensions, thus undermining and potentially breaking the organization as a whole.
IMO, TV Ifurita would work out much better as an OAV Ifurita prototype.
Do you mean as having more Phantom people directly, like Galus, disguising themselves as other people and taking positions in particular divisions? Essentially ones trained to create political issues towards the favor of wreaking havoc on their bonds.
