This is going to be the first of several fic or crossover type (not splitting up the SW crossover questions LOL) specific question and discussion threads.  If you have anything you want to ask me, any suggestion you want to make, please talk about it here. I won't guarantee that I will follow up on your suggestion, but I can promise to listen.  An example of a great idea would be Wesley's point when I asked about ideas on incorporating other pantheons. A stoner god of destruction sounds like a lot of fun when I get to it LOL.

Beyond that, this post is also to ask you all a few questions.  Most are small though, don't worry.  They are more questions I am simply struggling with rather than important questions I need help to make a decision on.

1. Does anyone have any ideas for further canon characters they want to see added to Rias's peerage?  It's not complete yet after all.  Or, conversely, should I abstain from adding any more secondary characters?

2.  In the next chapter, the peace talks concept is going to be dropped on Rias and Sona.  How big a stink should they raise about not being asked their opinion on it being held in Kuoh, and how many concessions/what kind should they wring from their older siblings?

3. When it comes to it, will it really be necessary to show Rias dealing with her cousin who is challenging her position as heir to the Gremory Clan?  I feel I should, since she hasn't spent much time on her Clan issues in a while, but on the other, I think the fight is going to be more massacre than anything else.

4.  This is a timeline question: I am uncertain if I want to have the Potters and co head back to the UK before the peace talks or after.  I think the longer I put it off the less important it seems, 

5. Tied to the above question: Should Lily, Kunou and Koneko have their own adventures away from Harry and the others?  Or would that be too contrived no matter how it came apart given Harry's magic and his priorities?

Beyond those points guys and gals, if you have anything you want to say about this fic (other than 'write more' or 'I hate it write something else' LOL) lay it on me here.

1. I say wait a bit and let the ripples from the changes settle out before adding new characters. A lot has changed already so the circumstances behind how future members of canon are met will change. So let it happen naturally within the flow of the story. 2. Rias at least seems much more independent and more willing to voice her opinions than canon, but also more mature about it. So maybe not so much raise a stink as make sure she and Sona are properly compensated for both the effort required and the inconvenience caused by the lack of proper warning. 3. Maybe don't show the confrontation itself but rather the aftermath of it including the responsibilities she will have to pay more attention to going forward and how that affects and is affected by her relationship with Harry. 4. I feel the peace talks are too major to not have them put their full effort towards it once they are aware of the event. They might plan to leave immediately afterwards if the talks go well, but that might not happen depending on how the attack plays out. 5. Any adventure that Koneko couldn't carry them through with ease would be to big for Harry to ignore if even only one of those three, much less all three, were involved. He is to willing to put other things on hold or just straight drop them to keep Lily, Kunou, and Koneko (to a lesser extent, and only because of her own skill and power) safe.

1. I don’t think we need to bring in anyone more from canon. Tonks was a tad forced. She joined the peerage very quickly. Personally I’d rather focus on building up the peerage we already have. Maybe have Gasper finally be relevant. I don’t particularly enjoy Gasper but he has basically been nonexistent in FILFY. For the other 4 questions I don’t really have any strong feelings one way or the other. Follow your heart.

frank schellingerhout

1 think adding cannon from dxd or potter to rias team is ok 2 wring them from all they can think the brother and sister should be proud that they do so also 3 perhaps after the peace talks arc 4 perhaps removing a friend or two could be done 5 small side arc for fun and fluff could be fun to read

Diego D'Andrea

Hello 1) I would refrain from introducing other characters except perhaps from Rossweisse, which could help the plot with the pantheon of the Tuatha de Danna. 2) I would scorn them, Kuoh is the territory of the girls. they protected it, to be used without asking, I would try to get the maximum. I would also use the opportunity as an advertisement for their power and their ultra powerful wards. 3) I would show the consequences the fight should be simple for your Rias. 4) For me you should go before the interviews, to keep the alternation between the canon events and your events. I love your story with Tuatha de Danna and I would like to see Rias annihilate Ginny. 5) If they are small enemies, otherwise Harry dad bear destroys them, even if interesting scenarios are opened, a strong enemy could lead Lilly to merge with Ddraig, and to become the user of the boosted geare would be fun to see Harry's reaction. Another thing I'd like to see more interaction Akeno / Tonks seemed like a fun idea, even though from the current plot Akeno seems to gravitate back to Harry.

FitzThrawn

1. I think given the size of the current cast it would be hard to introduce someone new right away to the peerage. While Tonks addition worked for me on a "I need a new start and the cousin I trust more than anyone else is already permanently involved with them" level, it did seem a little fast. Any one new should get a chapter or two to get to know the group beforehand. 2. Not a stink, but definitely extract as many concessions as possible. They worked and bleed to make Kouh theirs and if it's safety is being used as a draw for the conference they should be rewarded for that and payed for the additional work they would have to put in to make it work. 3. Not necessary to show since as is she could stomp just about anyone in her age bracket and she knows is coming. Though it would be interesting if the cousin was a/the leak to the old Satan faction that interrupts the conference. 4. I think beforehand might work best. If one of the concessions extracted is, given the recent battle and ward breech, they need some time to upgrade/repair the defenses of Kuoh, so the conference gets delayed to the next major school break (late summer if that's a thing in Japanese schools) and the Potters head to the UK to take care of business there and learn more about Harry and Yubellina's powers and looking for a way to use them to enhance the defense of Kuoh. ...I also really want to see Rias slap Ginny and Molly down 5. They could have their own (small) adventures with Koneko as big protective sister, but we don't have to see all of them. They can be stories they relate to Harry and Rias at dinnertime or things they do to train that they think they are getting away with but someone is always close enough by to help is they get in to deep, not always Harry, as another sign of how much he trusts the group that he knows they will protect the his kids if they need it, but also acknowledging that the kids need the small challenges to grow.

Tomon

1) So... what would happen if Kuno were to join Rias and her second daddy peerage? :) Guess that would be tricky. But my point is that there may not be exactly need to let some new character join but instead try to use some that were already introduced. Especially if Rias and Harry really starts to act as the Royal(Parent) couple in more official position. Sort of seems like it should happen when Rias finishes her current school but that would create other issues... Anyway she is no hurry to gather the full peerage anyway so no need to rush and add them to soon :) 2) It kinda would be funny if they just instead asked something along the line. "Hmm, what are you gonna pay us/give us/etc if we actually let you enter the wards instead of letting the door closed?" :-D Since while there are several participant of the peace talks who could probably destroy the wards it's also would cost them and make the situatiuon very problematic if they truly chose to do it as either almost act of war or really screwing their relationship with their beloved siblings :-D 3) I think even if it's a massacre it still needs to happen. Either that or Rias' cousin needs to publicly step down when she 'challenge' him. Both options will help Rias solidify her position and show that the one match wasn't any kind of fluke. 4) /shrug. I kinda feel that the best the UK people can succeed at is to make Harry angry. That's the best win they can hope for and should actually fear. Other than that I admit I don't see it as too interesting trip either way. 5) Given how protective Harry is and all the resources these girls have available I don't see it happening very easily and be beliavable. Maybe some minor events that Lily and Kunou would like to handle at their own without calling parents 'cause they're big girls! And Kunou actually just deciding that with her oversight it should all be fine? But it's not exactly something that needs to happen or that I truly want to see, so I'm leaving it up to you ;)

1. you have gone past my knowledge of cannon DXD, so i enjoy learning more about it, but i don't have any idea of more people to add. 2. i think any stink they raise should be mostly private with their older siblings, rather than a more public stink, because reasonably their elders have full rights to use kuoh, but i feel like they should do their best to squeeze as much as they can out of their siblings, because A) they don't get many opportunities and B) they are both taking life more seriously now, and this should reflect it, rias more than sona. i would expect sona to try to get some sort of a 'don't be a magical girl and don't mess with me' concession out of serafall, but rias would probably try to wrangle more training for her peerage, or something else more official out of her brother, maybe something like his assistance in getting ajuka to do something to help with their defenses/ magic, or access to high level restricted magic that she can share with her new family or something. 3. i think it would be a good opportunity to show her parents/brother and relatives commenting on how she's grown and changed, and how they like/dislike it, as they watch it in the backgrounds or in review after the fact, rather than having the fight be a 'live' scene we read about 4. I've honestly forgotten that they needed to head back, so you're already on the edge of it not being seen as important at all, so probably sooner than later 5. i don't think that lily, kunou, and koneko need separate adventures inside of japan, but a single shot adventure of them all in UK might be enjoyable. i personally care much more about rias, harry, and the rest of the peerage as a group, not individual members getting lots of unique adventures. if they get separate adventures, I'd prefer them to be occasional events, not common events i do want to say i greatly enjoy this story, thank you for writing it. i don't remember if you have said anything about Luna Lovegood, you probably did and i don't remember right now, but if she is still alive, i'd like to see her meet harry and rias sometime, it should be an interesting interaction. if the whole group goes to England, i want to see something interesting happen with the bandrui and/or with harry's connection to Ireland. maybe some fairy's or some other remnants of the celtic faction/pantheon find them, for good or ill. and i kind of want to see more of tiamat, i keep forgetting an being reminded that she is harry's familiar, so i want her to get a little more involved, even if she only spectates, but for her to be slowly drawn into the family a bit, instead of just occasionally showing up. the more i think about it, i think it is important for harry to go to ireland, rather than england, to deal with the ireland specific issues with his newfound powerset

Slider

1) From the HP side of things it might it might be hard to get more people added. The only one would would be remotely interested would be either Gabrielle or Hermione. As things stand, Rias has issues with Gabrielle they would need to hash out and Hermione seems to be satisfied with her own life. For the DxD side of things, if you wanted to move things along with the godly aspect you could add in Rossweisse (spelling escapes me with her lol). On the current plot relevant side, the main one is obviously Kuno who would make a potent Pawn or a good option for a Knight I would think. I still say that Xenovia can redeem herself in-story since she's a really fun character in canon but it would probably have to wait until the end of the Sword Arc you have going on before she stepped into that sort of role. A good option that you could consider is having Le Fay join up. I know have plans for her, but she's already a Harry fan and neither she nor her brother are seemingly comfortable with their current group. So having Arthur send her to Rias once more is known of her on his end is very plausible and would keep her safe from any reprisals from the Cao Cao. 2) I honestly don't think they should make a huge fuss about it. It’s really kind of an honor actually and they could very easily look at it like that: they are being trusted to maintain a neutral ground between highly powerful factions after just showing off their ability to repel an invasion attempt. This is a major status upgrade for them. They can only really wrangle a few concessions for not being consulted beforehand, but even then they don’t a strong position to negotiate from because they are getting a ton of benefits to status and the only real risk is if war breaks out. Which isn’t as huge of a problem since they have just demonstrated their ability to push back strong fighters and with other strong fighter present their complaints are minimal. Their siblings would realize this and so this could easily be just a needling opportunity from them to Rias/Sona which the girls should realize and not fight back too much against. 3) You could have the challenge be VERY short. She knows she can stomp most any comer in her age bracket at the moment minus the Young Devils grouping and most of the others should realize this as well. You don’t need to devote multiple chapters to it or even a whole single chapter. A very small portion of a single section of a chapter for Rias to be like “are you really sure you want to do this after what we did to Riser’s forces? And Kokabiel’s?” “Yes…?” “Okay, then.” *Stomp.* Move on with the royalty shaking their heads over why he proceeded forward. 4) I would tend to say before. Especially with the magic waking up now. It’s something that needs to be addressed sooner with the tease from last chapter I think. 5) I don’t know about them having their own adventures away from the group. While that might have potential to be interesting it does stand more of a contrived sort of thing. Especially since Koneko is really just there as the babysitter and not as one of the younger kids. She’s basically Harry’s daughter in all but name, but she is still the babysitter and not as young as them. There’s no danger or suspense involved because the moment things get bigger, either Koneko steps in or Harry/Rias swoops down.

1. I think that you can hold off on adding any new people to the peerage for a bit; you have enough to work with right now that adding more would likely be difficult to make feasible with everything that is supposed to be happening in the story line. 2. The stink about the peace talks should be great. After everything that has happened and the attacks that they have been constantly working to increase the protections on their territory for, there in no way they would/should take suddenly having to accommodate the peace talks like good little girls. Therefore, while the concessions the duo wring from their older siblings should be great indeed, make sure they act mature about it and keep the concessions to important points about safety with only a “one more thing…” type concession that is more of a personal punishment tacked on to the end after the older siblings think that agreeing to the earlier concessions was easier than they thought. 3. When it comes to Rias being challenged for the position of clan heiress, I think it comes down to if you think the challenger has enough brains to realize that it is a bad idea. If you can’t make them smart enough to back off just from having realized that they are outclassed, then don’t spend to much time on it, and maybe instead of a play by play you can focus on the “spectators” while making the “fight” a background thing that only gets some comments about how “I didn’t think he could scream like that” and whatnot. That way you don’t ignore an important aspect of Rias’ life yet don’t have to spend to much time on an event you obviously don’t feel is such a big thing any longer. 4. For the Potter family going back to England, I think that if you are going to dump the peace talks on them in the next chapter, then the trip will have to be after the talks. However, unless you want there to be some big reason for them to go back, you could turn it into a vacation to visit people and places to show to whomever you decide will be going on the trip. I think choosing who will go or not will not be hard except for Kunou. Certain people are just close enough or not to Harry, Lily and Rias while also having other things they can or can’t get away from for the trip. 5. As for “The Adventures of the Three Little Animals” I think you can leave it to how you have been doing it so far and not try to give them a spinoff series. Have fun, and good writing… or is that typing?

Razgriz0x

1. If it makes sense and is realistically possible, then go ahead... but I'm not sure they should get as much screentime.... maybe the same amount as Issei has... ir Gaspar. 2. I believe they'd react with deadpan "Why am I not surprised?" attitude. 3. I think it would be believable to have Rias deal with the family "feud" with simple logic and diplomacy. 4. Make the trip soon. The sooner, the easier it'll be to get it out of the way, over and done with. The longer you wait, the harder it'll be. I vote for before the treaty. 5. Maybe have an Omake at the end of a chapter... or have Harry and Rias listen to his daughter's (daughters') recount the adventure in summary?

vimesenthusiast

1) seems to either be a meh or a no with most. That's fine I suppose, since I honestly have other ideas I migth be able to pull off if I don't enlarge Rias's peerage further. 3) if it was going to be solved by diplomacy, the idiot wouldn't have challenged her, so that's not going to happen sorry. i will however show more about Rias slowly taking over some of the family business. 4) Agreed. Yes, the majority seem to think it needs to happen sooner. So what I will do is to make the diplomatic talks slow down thanks to the attack, the Church dragging its feet, the Fallen general having to get the Grigori to sign on and such like. I think I'll have the trip happen as soon as possible. The only question is... how to get them away from the school.

vimesenthusiast

1) That seems to be the feeling of the majority. 2) Yes, this is the opinion a lot of people seem to have, respectful, but make a very big stink about it. Making certain they act maturely will be tough - I think the first reaction will be the only moment of immaturity and then we'll go from there. 3) I initially thought about the challenger as a way to show that the Gremory clan have their share of assholes too (beyond parents who make horrible decisions for their daughters). But honestly with everything else going on, I might have him just be an after thought, and then, as you suggest, concentrate on the audience. 4)Having the peace talks in one chapter was never my intent. That is, to have the setup for and then the talks in the same chapter. And there is a BIG reason. Not going to explain here LOL, but I will be dropping another few hints in the next chapter, and it has everythign to do with the powers Harry has assumed from Mannanan Mac Lir. 5) Wasn't even thinking of a spinoff series, just a few scenes within the work itself.

vimesenthusiast

1)dude I just call her Rosie in my mind, so your spelling works very well for me. As for the HP characters, I never was going to bring more of them in, with the possible exception of Gabi, but even that is not going to happen now. Xenovia sort of redeems herself in the coming chapter, but she won't be joining the main cast for a long while, if ever. I honestly felt that was sort of forced in canon. and, erm, you mean Kunou? No. Her mother would have severe issues with that. As for Arthur and Le Fay, I have plans for them, oh yes. If those plans have them joining the Potter/Gremory clan, then we shall see. 2) You are forgetting that Kuoh is no longer just Rias and Sona's, and that they have to speak for Harry and the others too. No, I am afraid they are going to be raising a bit of a stink. Maturely, but yes, they will protest quite a bit and force some serious concessions. 3) Yeah, that's pretty much what's going to happen. I might make him be a sore loser and say stuff like 'I wasn't ready' but other than that no the match won't be a major event, it will just be keeping her busy with family things while Harry has some major moments elsewhere. 4) before seems to be the consensus. 5) that was the question: if it sounded too contrived. Thanks for helping me to end that internal debate.

Rumil's Apprentice

1. A slightly OOC Rossweisse could still be a great addition to the group (like how you did an OOC Kala). One of my head canons of Rossweisse is a bit more like Cordelia from Fire Emblem Awakening- an all around super intelligent and skilled prodigy, has romantic oneitis for someone like Thor, and ignores social skills intentionally until she enters the story. I really like how Rias and Harry are brining together people of different species and supernatural backgrounds. You've already mentioned High Elves and Fae retreating to sealed pocket dimensions, so if they could be brought into the peerage, that could be awesome, or maybe too much. Just an idea. Valerie Tepes- I always thought she doesn't get enough screen time in DxD canon. With part or all the Sephiroth Graal, she could easily take up 4-7 of Rias's pawns (depending on how whole her sacred gear is). Harry could decide to do a rescue mission after Gasper tells Lily his story. Or maybe Harry hears about unexpected power moves from the Tepes Vampires and combined with Gasper's story, the team makes a stop in Romania on the way home to Japan from the UK. Since in canon, her sacred gear has already been split, you could play her character a bit like the version of her from Woona the Cat's fic 10th Life. She gets back 1/3 of the Graal when rescued from her brother, but Rizevim Lucifer still has 1/3 of her sacred gear, so she needs help from a death deity to function correctly until Rizevim's demise. 2. Well, they can't raise too much of a stink, because hosting the Talks will very much raise their profiles outside of the Underworld. Inside the Underworld, depending on the person, it will either raise their reputations a moderate amount or just be neutral because it's seen as a continuation of existing sibling favoritism. Maybe one of Rias's concessions is getting Sirzechs to allow her peerage/clan/family to travel to Europe after the talks are over. 3. I don't think you need to show it, but maybe in aftermath of the duel, do a scene with Zeoticus visiting (to compliment previous one with Venelana) with Rias and Harry to discuss family and politics. 4. I think they should do the Europe trip immediately after the talks- a much need break after working so hard to host a HUGE diplomatic function. It could be one of Rias's concessions. I just really want the mini-arc of the Potter-Gremory Clan visiting Europe. If we get too far in the DxD story, it will be hard for them to take a big trip without getting attacked by terrorists or violent deities. 5. Yes, I think the younger girls should definitely have some adventures when they do the trip to Europe. Can you think of the trouble Lily, Kunou, Asia, and Koneko could get up too with Luna? And yes, Harry is going to keeping a tight leash on the kiddos until they can fend for themselves. I mean, eventually they'll have God-level beings coming after them. It would be cool in general to write other characters having adventures, but there's already so much plot to write just following the protagonists.

Rumil's Apprentice

In real life, Japanese schools have a 3 week break in late March and early April. Their school year operates with a more trimester system- so one term is Sept-Dec, then Jan-Mar, then Apr-July.

vimesenthusiast

Agreed on Tonks, but I think that was rather in character for her - she was very impulsive in canon after all. Gasper will start to be shown more often, that is a character I just haven't been able to, well, get out of his basement LOL.

vimesenthusiast

1. I would argue that Kala isn’t a good example of an OOC character because the original did not, in point of fact have any character to speak of LOL. Yubelluna, on the other hand, is OOC. As for Rosie, I don’t intend to introduce her until the peace talks. I doubt I’ll make her a secondary character even then, sorry. High Elves and Fae, now that would be telling. But you and Tomon seem to be the only ones who have figured out some of my hints, so I think you will enjoy where that plotline is going to go. Valerie Tepes: this point is… interesting. I will, however, have to redo a lot of the canon surrounding the vampire factions and bits and pieces of her personal past. After all, vampires are known in HP canon, and not exactly a danger to most mid-to-high-level wizards. I am uncertain where to put them dealing with the vampires in terms of the overall plot, but… yes, I think I can make it work… hmm… hmm… (in case you didn’t know hmms are good things.) 2. That would only be true if they were being asked. Being told the talks were going to be held there, and oh, that means you’re involved very much makes it a different story. 3. Zeoticus will be showing up with Sirsechs to check in on Rias in the aftermath next chapter. As for the inter-clan fight, yeah, I’m not going to show it, but the aftermath of that can lead me into having Rias take up more of the heiress duties – including, heh, some of the contracts the Gremory clan has worldwide – which also doubles as an information network. This will be helpful for many plots going forward. 4. Sorry no, it will be happening before the talks. 5. Luna as a trouble=maker, never saw that coming LOL. But yes, the kids will have a mini adventure, but not anything major. Harry and Rias would be positively biblical against anything life-threatening.

vimesenthusiast

2. The discussion being private would obviously be a given – since they were told about it in canon in private that just makes sense. The idea of separating the serious concession and the personal concessions is an interesting idea, but I don’t know if it will work. We’ll see. 3. After Rias has basically led the defense of Kuoh against a full legion I don’t think she’ll need to show much more growth, but I will have some of their thoughts about her growing up in the next chapter. 4. That’s not good LOL. But yes, they need to head back, and certainly not for the whole Gringotts/Ginny being a bitch thing. The bandrui and Harry’s connection to Ireland is why they will be going back. And remember that in the magical world, Ireland never broke off from Magical Britain, so they are one and the same on that side of things. 5. Yes, I think they will have a small adventure on their own. As for Luna – hehehehe. I have plans for her and Rolf – they both appear in the next chapter and will become characters when Harry and co. head to the UK and Ireland. Tiamat – ehh, she’s sort of standoffish at the best of times. I can get her involved more often in the bigger things, but she likes her solitude – she is a dragon after all, and dragons are not communal creatures.

vimesenthusiast

1. Erm, do you mean Kunou? Yeah, I’ve done that too LOL. But no, her mom would severely object to Kunou becoming a devil at so young an age. And Rias wouldn’t want to let her in any event. But you’re right, Rias is in no rush. I might even think of ways for her to use her existing pieces to somehow… add to the ones already within her peerage. We’ll see if that works. 2. As a sign of maturity, they won’t scream and shout. Oh no, they will instead go ‘Hmm… really, and… what exactly will you give us… like you said. And by the time the peace talks happen, only one or two at most at the talks would be able to destroy those wards, and it would cost even them. 3. Yes, it will be a curbstompage. It’s more to lead into Rias getting her hands on the clan’s contracts throughout the human world than anything else. 4. Ahh, but the trip to the UK is on the Magical side. And the Magical side of the UK includes Ireland… 5. That would be with Koneko’s oversight there. But yeah, if any adventure on the kiddy side happens it will be small and with her on overwatch.

vimesenthusiast

1. Sorry I don’t intend to introduce Rosie until the peace talks. But the Tuatha De Denan aspect, will show up before that to a certain extent. 2. Scorn could be the wrong word. Angrily denounce at first, yes. But while they have a powerful bargaining position they can’t really push all that hard because like it or not they are still devils and heirs rather than independent Lords in terms of the rest of devil society. 3. Yep. That seems to be the consensus, because it will be. 4. Annihilate verbally perhaps. Her and Gabrielle. And yes, the Tuatha De Denan are a fun aspect to work with. 5. Yeah, I wasn’t talking about big adventures, more like Luna dragging them off on a search for the snorcack or similar. The Akeno/Tonks relationship isn’t going to happen. Akeno will, slowly, be getting back with Harry. They are now somewhat different people then they were when they were dating, and I feel they can be good together soon.

vimesenthusiast

1. Yeah, that’s why I was asking instead of going ahead and trying to add more characters. As for Tonks, tell me if you think that choice was out of character for her? To me it worked precisely with her character as from canon. 2. Yep, extracting their hunk of flesh is on. That scene’s already mostly written at this point thanks to this discussion thread. 3. Yes, the interclan fight is more to deal with Rias taking on more of the clan’s business – their contracts in the human world worldwide. 4. Beforehand it is. I won’t comment on the slappage though beyond saying it will be harsh. Rumil’s apprentice mentioned the school breaks, and the trip to the UK will happen at the end of March, and the peace talks will happen in the next break in July. 5. Very small and with Koneko on overwatch. She would utterly brutalize anyone messing with Lily or the others, and then Harry would come along and vaporize what was left.

FitzThrawn

I don't think the choice was out of character, it just seemed like it happened a few days faster that i would have expected. Maybe I have got to much head cannon incorrectly built around the fact that she was Moody's final trainee/protege and I don't think she could have done as well as she did with him without picking up some of his "constant vigilance" shtick. Impulsive yes, but tempered by Moody so she could make a decision quickly, but if she could have the time to think about it she would. Since you included the scenes about her traveling, I think I was expecting a point of view scene from her where she talks with Rias and Harry about a day or two of combat training, recognize the fact that there was a tactical hole that she could fill while talking to them, and then impulsively offer to join.

Tomon

1) Oh my god, the horrors... Imagine the real KUNO as a member of peerage or in any position to be a regular characters. Run for the hills! :-D But yeah, you understood correctly ;) Kunou is probably still a possibility but later on - unless you would go the route where it's either devil or her being dead. At least I think the resurrection aspect applies to youkai as well? But I think later is better option which ties to the fact that Rias got time. 4) True with the Ireland. But well, I agree with all your other points as well :)

Rumil's Apprentice

Lol, I'm mostly new here on your Patreon page, so it's good to know that "hmmms" are a good thing. No worries about Rosie. Not every character can fit in every story. As for the vampire power levels, perhaps it could be something to do with bloodlines and/or the age of vampires (like in Underworld or Rosario + Vampire). In FIFLy, the wizarding world already ignores the larger supernatural world, so their normal dealings could be with young, freshly turned, and/or vampires from ordinary bloodlines. In dxd canon, beside being from a noble and royal vampire house, Valerie's older half-bother Marius Tepes is said to be a "pureblood vampire," although that term is never explained (as far as I remember). He could have been actually born to 2 vampires or turned from a human in a specific way. Also, I'm looking forward to see how to build out the Gremory family business network stuff.
