Strengths |
- [ Shining Finger ] | The wearer is able to concentrate a large amount of power in their hands, amassing energy and creating an extremely hot grip, comparable to that of a weaker lightsaber blade. This allows the user to melt through thin armor plating and incinerate anyone caught in its crushgaunt grasp. Both the intense heat and immense crushing power make it an effective weapon; Particularly effective in executing helmeted enemies and causing extreme discomfort against those wearing beskar.
- [ Power Transfer ] | The armor serves as a conduit of power, being able to take in energy from external sources and channel it into itself for storage or to transfer power from one system to the next via conduits in the gloves. In Escanor's case he can transfer energy absorbed by his Divine Shield Sharik and channel it to power his Divine Spear Aelius. The wearer can also use it to jumpstart systems lacking power or conversely use it to drain energy from a pre-existing source at a rapid rate like weapon batteries.
- [ Hoplon Benefits ] | Since it is based off the design of the Golden Company's Hoplon Powersuit, Escanor's armor benefits from all its strengths, some left untouched while others were altered and augmented to enhance its capabilities. A majority of the armor is spec'd to be effective in close range combat and defenses. The armor itself also houses a number of deadly, hidden weapons.
- [ Hydrostatic Gel Maneuverability ] | Due to the nature of the hydrostatic gel, the wearer's movement is hindered when the gel is solidified. If the wearer continues to take kinetic damage, their movement is hindered until the gel repairs itself to its original aqueous state.
- [ Power Hungry ] | Despite the onboard reactor it possesses along with the power provided from energy leeched by the Sharik, Escanor's armor consumes much power, and as a result requires him to either maintain combat to keep feeding the suit systems energy leeched by the Sharik or to find a source of energy he can drain.
DESCRIPTION
Escanor's personal armor is a modified version of the Golden Company's standard "Hoplon" Pattern Combat Power Suit, having dismantled the original design and then made his own modifications. Escanor's armor is designed to enhance his capabilities and attributes in combat, providing him an edge in combat with enhanced speed and strength from an exo-suit design to accommodate for the heavier armor. This allowed Escanor to still maintain his free range of motion when in combat while still maintaining a solid defense from attacks.
The suit is designed as battle armor, as such, it possesses a number of features to enhance combat functions. The suit itself is made to enhance attributes of the wearer such as speed and strength, the amplification of these attributes allowing the wearer to not only move well with little impact to performance but wield fearsome weapons. It synergizes with Escanor's other personal equipment as it acts as the middle ground; It stores excess power from energy gathered by the shield Sharik and then channels it into his weapon Aelius.
Escanor's armor also has a number of hidden features that pays homage to his gladiator roots. Hidden weapons are scattered across his body, weaponizing every limb with lethal intent to kill opponents who aren't careful when they go toe to toe with him. Vibroblades are hidden in the gauntlets and toes of Escanor's boots, his hands that can melt and crush whatever gets caught in its grasp, a knee plate mounted dart launcher delivers a lethal payload when it comes into contact with an enemy, and a compact disruptor is hidden behind a plate in Escanor's chest that can slide open to reveal the emitter and deliver a fatal disruptor shot to those daring to get too close.
In addition to its combat features, the armor provides a lot of comfort specs as well as quality of life. Not only will the wearer be deadly without a weapon in hand, they will also be comfortable while doing so. A lot of minor functions and perks keep the wearer cool during combat while keeping fatigue to a minimum. A host of suit functions make combat simpler as well by keeping a constant feed of information of the surroundings coming.
What defenses the armor itself lacks in is compensated by its accompanying Sharik shield, giving it a formidable over all defensive range of protection against a majority of weapon types. The suit also comes with its own life support to help the wearer sustain themselves in hostile or poor atmosphere environments.
