Brief Intro

Hello there. I am just a roaming proofreader and editor for Toaru Majutsu no Index. I have studied Japanese for a few years so I am probably at Kindergarten level when it comes to speaking and understanding. Not enough to actually translate light novels but enough to compare translations with the original Japanese text and speech.

Current To Do List

• Finalise recent edits to Index Main Page
• Fix up terminology in Index Volumes 1-SS1 (novels not translated by js06) starting from Volume 1 Prologue.

Finished working on translating terms in the Toaru Majutsu no Index no Subete Encyclopedia Glossary.

URGENT: Missing pages 170 and 174 of Subete. Anyone who has HQ scans of these pages please contact me.

LQ Scan of Page 174 found. Still missing page 170.

• Fix up Notes Sections across Index Volumes (so that there arent any random translator's notes in the actual translated text).
• Then expand the notes sections with base kanji for certain terminology.

Progress

Now that I have finished translating what I can of the Subete Encyclopedia Glossary, I am essentially ready to start fixing up the earlier Index volumes.

Here's how I will go about doing it...

1) Compile a list of volume specific questions regarding translations.

2) Send said questions to js06 and wait for an eventual response.

3) Using the answers and my custom glossaries references, begin editing the volume, part-by-part.

• Repeat the process for the next volume.

Completed: None

Currently working on: Volume 01 and Volume 02 simultaneously

Currently on Step: 1)

Currently getting things done at my own slow pace...

• Volumes 1-2 will function as a trial. I will be waiting for feedback on my edits regarding these two volumes before continuing.

UPDATE: Slowly working on Volumes 1 and 2...slowly.

My Long Run Focus

While TAMNI stands as the biggest translation project on Baka-Tsuki, it is by no means perfect. Attention to detail has always been one of my strong points so I will try and fix the things that the other editors have missed. My focus will be on correct grammar and spelling, correct use of terminology, looking for any missing details in earlier translations, revamping the notes sections and the boring task of standardising the presentation format accross all of the light novel translations.

Calendar Project

I also have a pet project I am working on called A Certain Unified Calendar. It tries to organise all of the events which have occurred in the TAMNI and TAKNR collective franchise into chronological order and place them onto a calendar. I am currently planning the way in which I shall present the project's notes pages and thinking up a way to get feedback on the calendar from the fanbase. However, I am currently busy with studies right now so don't expect anything soon. The calendar's next update will be next year during the 10 year anniversary for TAMNI.

Working on Index Character Introduction...Because I am insane... Reworking code from HighSchool DxD Page...A series that I dont read.

Characters' Introduction

Kamijou Touma

Classification: Esper

Affiliation: Academy City - A Certain High School

Ability: Level 0

Power: Imagine Breaker

The primary male protagonist of the series. Despite being classified as a Level 0 esper, his right hand possesses the uncanny ability to negate all forms of supernatural phenomena upon contact including magic, esper powers and - much to his chagrin - his own good luck. Touma is the type that acts before he thinks. He can never just sit around upon seeing someone in a pinch and will go to great lengths to protect or help the person. This he does at great risk to himself, which typically results in him being hospitalized. While he is an idealist for the hopes of other people, ironically he is cynical about himself possibly because of his powers.

Index

Classification: Magician

Affliliation: Anglican Church - Necessarius

Magic Name: Dedicatus545

Power: Index Librorum Prohibitorum

The titular main heroine of the series. Due to her possessing a photographic memory, her mind has been implanted with the Index Librorum Prohibitorum: 103,000 grimoires that have been removed from circulation. As such she holds a vast amount of magical knowledge that if properly used would allow her reach the realm of a magic god. Despite this, Index is unable to cast any magic herself; however she can use the grimoires' knowledge to analyze spells and protect herself from enemy magicians. She is an enormous glutton who despite having great knowledge of history and culture, is completely clueless about science and technology.

Misaka Mikoto

Classification: Esper

Affiliation: Academy City - Tokiwadai Middle School

Ability: #3 Level 5 - Railgun

Power: Academy City's Strongest Electromaster

The second main heroine of the series...

Stiyl Magnus

DESCRIPTION

Accelerator

Classification: Esper

Affiliation: Academy City - Nagatenjouki Academy

Ability: #1 Level 5 - Accelerator

Power: Vector Transformation

The second male protagonist of the series. He is Academy City's strongest esper with the ability to manipulate the vectors of anything that he touches. In the past, he was involved in a great incident due to his powers which left him greatly distrustful of all those around him. His school life had him completely separated from other students while his title of the strongest has led him to be constantly targetted by delinquents and other challengers looking for fame. As a result, he believes only in power and trusts no one. While fighting, he invokes fear and has a sadistic tone. Despite all of this, deep down he is someone that aches for the light.

He comes from a family who are descendents of Abe no Seimei and is thus a skilled Onmyouji specializing in eastern magic and feng shei.
