  • Official Type Moon Servant Supplement
    Official Type Moon Servant Supplement This is the updated Servant Supplement. It is largely the same as the old supplement, albeit updated with new additions from the Fate series. This supplement is to be used to create Servant‟s for the Fate and Fate/Extra jumps, along with any jumps in the future that relate to the creation of Servants. This PDF will guide you through the process of creating your own Servant. Important Note Servants are legendary beings from mythology and fiction, but not all fiction is valid for use. Anything created before 1900 should be perfectly fine, but once it hits the 20th century it becomes iffy. Very early literature in the 1900s should work, but mid-late 20th century and beyond wouldn‟t. Anything from contemporary media such as Comics, Anime/manga, videogames, tv shows or movies is automatically barred. Likewise, any still living character or future character in your particular timeline is not purchasable as a Servant. They have to be dead and EMIYA was a special case that required the intervention of one of the most powerful beings in setting (Alaya) to be sent back in time. You may not summon Servants from previous jump worlds, unless it is a companion you already have with you in which case you may import them as normal. Divine Spirits are also unable to be summoned in Fate jump. These include any sort of God, Titan, Angel etc. However, they are summonable in Fate/Extra, though they will obviously be limited to what stats you can buy for them.

  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

Blaeser My dissertation is a creative translation from Japanese into English of the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century (1716 – 1783) poet. Buson is considered to be one of the most important of the Edo Era poets and is still influential in modern Japanese literature. By taking account of Japanese culture, identity and aesthetics the dissertation project bridges the gap between American and Japanese poetics, while at the same time revealing the complexity of thought in Buson's poetry and bringing the target audience closer to the text of a powerful and mov- ing writer.
