Background

This Armor was a custom Neo-Solasian build, and a joint venture between the Kanza, Makka-Zumi, and Nakael corporations. Originally commissioned by a dragon who desired to counter the new influx of high-energy weapons, the specifications were very specifically defined--a high-output A2 that is particularly resistant to energy weapons. The Armor itself was a masterpiece; aside from having all the common advantages that an A2 would have, it would also happen to benefit from high marks in both its offense and defense. Unfortunately, there were a number of issues with it, primarily, that of the symbiote. The Armor was built for battle, but the symbiote was too willful for most people, ultimately rendering the Armor near-inoperable, lest the pilot put himself in danger as a result of "her" aggression. Regardless, the draconic pilot disregarded this problem, thinking he could control it, and quickly paid for his hubris with his life, not even living through the first battle in it. Since then, it has been regarded as "cursed," and has been passed down from unwanting pilot to unknowing pilot, remaining in a state of disuse until coming into the hands of the halfdemon Tek, Zeiren Aslan, who had proven himself capable of managing it for at least the time needed to perform well in combat.

Ultimately, this Armor had performed well in the two battles it was taken into, before an unknown person, utilizing Zeiren's identification, had requested a few alterations be performed on the Armor. The person responsible for this is unknown, but it is known that neither the new capabilities, nor the removal of a few old ones, have hampered its ability in combat; the mission immediately following had been a complete success for the Armor and its pilot. Whether or not the Armor will continue to be of service is ultimately up to its pilot, but so far, it looks almost as if such a thing is guaranteed.

Description

This silver and black Armor is notable first and foremost for its sleek, yet powerful build all over its body, a Makku-Zumi trademark. The head utilizes a monovisor camera system, and sports a top fin, along with a pair of spikes extending up and back from the sides of the head--these are cosmetic only, and appear to "mesh" with the rest of the armoring. The torso itself is, to a degree, relatively streamlined, showing no apparent entry point. Extending from the back, above a pair of verniers, is what looks like a pair of extremely withered-looking wings, having no real flight surface except for the bladelike extensions on the ends of a pair of articulate "arms". Mounted onto each shoulder is a particularly large shield that faces outward, and is pointed downward to some degree, though on closer examination, one could note that each is independently mobile, and can tilt up or down for varying purposes as necessary. Heavy fixed armguards seamlessly extend from the forearm, each ending in a point, and appear to cover the top of each hand, while allowing for standard motion. The legs themselves flare out near the feet, which are, needless to say, pointy. All in all, an imposing-looking Armor.
