Subject identified. Role is Martial Artist/Brash Youth. Subject is reborn Knight of Fear, Obsidian.
Sailor Mercury blinked her eyes once, twice, thrice... “Knight of Fear?”
Obsidian Knight, better known as the Knight of Fear, as enemies of the Queen and her court are afflicted with sensations of terror when in 50’ radius of Knight of Fear when his powers are activated. It is suggested probability that Youma is in hiding due to the presence of the Knight of Fear.
The Senshi of Mercury had to blink her eyes in surprise. Wow, that could be a very useful tactic. If the Senshi ever found themselves outnumbered by any such nemesis, a power like that could be the Trump Card they needed, especially if they weren’t effected by its presence. “So the Knight of Fear is on our side?” She asked the Mercury Computer.
Correct. Obsidian, the Knight of Fear, similarly referred to as the Onyx Knight. Although powers and concept are more along the lines of Saturn, Obsidian’s planetary alignment is that of the Plutonian Hierarchy. During his tour of duty with the Knights, Obsidian was referred to as the ‘Queen’s Wolf’. He was sent in when there was no hope of negotiation and something absolutely, positively had to be dead as soon as yesterday. Was personally acknowledged and accredited for being a ‘domesticator’ of three alien frontiers for the Moon Kingdom’s expanding empire and was rumored to have the strength that could slay a god. To put simply, he was quoted as being a “badass”.
Her eyes widening in shock, Sailor Mercury asked, “You have got to be kidding...” that small snippet of information bordered way too much on having personality, something she didn’t think the Mercury Computer had.
This system, although a library of some classic comical jokes and riddles, does not deal with designated emotion: humor.
Mercury blinked her eyes. “Apparently you have sarcasm and sass down.”
Damn straight.
Mercury just gaped at the text and wondered if someone had been fiddling with her Computer when she wasn’t looking.
Coughing lightly, Ranma waved a hand in his face as the ashen smoke started to fade. He had wished to be allowed to help these women with their problem, and what that had done was give him... a transformation sequence?
Okay, the idea of being swallowed by the earth and being spewed out amongst a glowing blob of lava was kinda cool, especially when it just seemed to melt off and slide down his body, leaving him clad in a completely black suit of armor. Although he wasn’t too pleased that it didn’t have much of a Japanese feel to it.
Realistically, the armor was more akin to 16th Germany Maxamilian Plate Armor, minus the helmet. It still have the neck armor of a gorget, pauldrons, couters, vambraces, gauntlets with a leather interior, a cuirass that was made for his back and breastplate with a fauld, tassets and a culet, a chain mail skirt, cuisses, poleyns, greaves, and sabatons. All of it was done in a completely black armor that just shined with smoothness. The one exception was a small ‘P’ sigil on the left shoulder-pad that held a dark purple coloration to it.
Surprisingly to Ranma, the armor was surprisingly light, which is something he enjoyed as he flexed his arms to get a feel for the axis of movement it allowed. He didn’t want something that would be cumbersome and affect his style of fighting, and this certainly wouldn’t.
He then reached to his side, going for the black scabbard with a silver wolf figure etched along the scabbard’s locket and drew his weapon. The blackened steel sword wasn’t Japanese either; more like something that was a bastardization of the Western style of swords, light enough to be handled in one hand, but the grip was long enough for a dual-grip if need be. The pommel had a small carving of a wolf’s head.
Sheathing his sword back into its scabbard, Ranma let out a sigh. “I guess it’ll do...” he said, almost sounding disappointed. He shrugged a moment and then ran towards the area of battle... noticing it was a lot quieter. “Kami, I hope the time it took for that transformation sequence didn’t make me too late.”
