Primary Magic: Pandemonium Shift: Heartful Cry
Secondary Magic: N/A
Caster or Holder: Holder
Description:
Pandemonium Shift is a branch of magic that allows the user to tap into their subconscious to access their previous lives, materializing those personalities into an armor and weapon set with abilities that match. It's also possible to include the user's own personality with practice. These personalities are filtered out into several 'essence' and distributed accordingly among the gears. The complete set would be named as a one-word summary of the distributed essences, and as the name plate of the personality itself. It is only possible through an alchemy fused Rhinestone. Due to these bright blue sea stones being so rare, the magic itself is a little uncalled for in the modern era with half of the percentage of Rhinestones mined throughout the century.
How it fell into the hands of the Papillion's Heart's creator is shadowed by enforced secrecy.
But more so, the android Aigis is the single-known user of Pandemonium Shift as of this moment. It's a little bit of a lost cause seeing as she does not have a compendium of past lives to reach into. Her case is a bit complex. She retrieves the AI of her predecessors from Project B.E.A as an alternative. As the Rhinestone is now part of a mechanism that was developed to give Aigis her 'humanity', it now independently decides a personality according to the retrieved AIs. Three individual personalities were eventually recovered, two from the critically unstable AIs, and one from Aigis. This somewhat broadens the availability of weapons she's able to form from her body parts considering she's an android built with a battle-wise purpose in mind, although this does not apply to all the weapons.
These manifested personalities would be named as 'Cries' from her Rhinestone heart.

Strengths:
- Displays variety and versatility in battle.
- These several pieces of gears function just like how a requip mage's equipment functions, having the option to summon them from their space at any given time.
- Personalities are colorful given the person, and one personality is not limited to one set of gears. This highly depends if a shifting in personalities in one soul occurs and that if both personas were registered by the Rhinestone as two separate sets.
- Effects can vary depending on the total essence of the given past life. An essence is somewhat a pure manifestation of that personality in an aura-like form that coats the gears to give it it's special abilities.
- Shift mages have the ability to trace back even into the ancient times of magic so long as they can handle the burden of soul-searching and spiritual awakening over and over again to reach those depths. But for Aigis' case, it's only the more recent seeing as she's not 'human', at least not physically.
- - - -
Weaknesses:
- Limited to 8 personalities per mage. If one is discovered, another has to be discarded.
- Limited to two personalities per 10 posts, after which cannot use those two personalities after shifting. The first two personalities will then be available after 10 posts and vice versa.
- Unstable personalities tend to be a little hard to control without practice, at best, the previous 'dark' thoughts could promptly take over the caster until knocked out, which could lead to destructive physical damage to everything around and mental damage to the mage.
- Weak against psychic magic (as Aigis is a robot who was made to be water-resistant, she tends to have a weakness against electric attacks), and prone to emotional breakdowns from mood-shifts. Insanity is strong in this region of magic. It might cause a bit more than a short circuit for the little android if exposed too much to dangerous sets.
- Whatever the attribute/element of the set, it will always have a common weaknesses (ex.a fire set is weak against water magic. etc.)
- Mixing sets is not a viable option, although it is possible with practice. Some sets are better when complete -battle wise and cosmetically.

Lineage:
- locked until Aigis obtains the Labrys Set-
- Oblivion's Might:
- Description: Long ago, an ancient king in search of the ultimate power seized the outer lands of the kingdom, only to fail. He sent his armies to the ends of the Earth, still, it was not found. His frustration was sent out to all the lands; armies would kill families, animals, and each other for "crimes" they had done. The devil took notice of this and one night contacted the king. He gave the king two choices - the ability to manipulate others, or the ability to turn himself into a malicious demon, giving him the power of Hell's Flames. The king foolishly picked to turn himself into a demon. The devil granted him the request, giving the king total and absolute power, however, the price to it was the kings consciousness, making him the devil's slave, sending all into chaos. The name that was later given to the demon was Oblivion, and those who are his descendants are said to have Oblivion's Might.Ability: Oblivion's Might has both a passive and active effect. The passive ability gives the user the strength of Oblivion; while as the active form turns the user into a demon, capable of mass destruction. The user in their “demon state” also has access to 3 fire spells up to B-Rank, but must be the appropriate rank. The users abilities are increased, but for the sake of gaining power they lose their consciousness and attack anything in their paths.
Usage: The user passively gains a 50% strength boost that cannot be reverted. The transformation lasts for 3 posts and has a 8 post cool-down, and while the user is in the transformation they lose consciousness and attack anything they see. While in the transformation, the user also has access to three fire spells up to B-Rank, but must be the appropriate rank to use them. Though they do not take a spell slot, they must be added to the users magic app. They have access to 1 D-Rank, 1 C-Rank and 1 B-Rank fire spell. The ability may only be used up to two times per thread.
Unique Abilities:
- A Shared Benefit: Separate weapons that are not part of her internal weaponry gain 3% of the special bonuses her spells provide. The stat bonus directly affects the attacks/spells of separate weapons (e.g. A +speed stat bonus affects a weapon spell, increasing it's attack speed so long as the weapon is within the user's grasp). Accessories and the like however is a different case whereas they have no personal gain from these -when the given 'bonus' from a spell or ability is initially higher than the bonus from an accessory, the accessory's effect will be negated.
- Two Sides of the Same Coin: Aigis and the two other androids share one 'base'. This 'base' was eventually modified to fit the necessary adjustments and improvements since both of the previous androids of BEA have failed terribly. Aigis is the last to be made. However, her 'sisters' AIs are kept in a special memory storage since the scientists decided it would be a waste to destroy them totally. This enables Aigis to access her sisters as her 'past lives'.
- Flipping the Coin: When there is a danger from fatigue/damage, she is able to switch gears to avoid further damage to that set. Status-effects are more than likely going to be carried over regardless. It will not heal the damage of any gear unless the Nano-bytes act on it (locked ability). At her current rank, Aigis' only set will take at least 3 hits of damage equal to her rank. Anything higher tends to break it after one hit of ranked damage.

Spells:
- Cry of Courage:
- Aigis' Will:
Name: Aigis' Will
Rank: D
Type: Armor, Defensive
Description:An armor fused with the burning nobility of Aigis' fighting will. It symbolizes her static, inhumane readiness for battle before she was given the Papillion heart. The armor itself is hard and durable, similar to how Aigis faces battle unnerved and confident. It has barely any difference from her default android armor, but the armor has more or less improved in durability against magic attacks with it's thicker torso part. Other important fixings were added into it, but the most significant change is her body's ability to manipulate the pure essence with stability.- - - -
Passive Ability:Turbo Meter: A Turbo Meter is embedded into Aigis' legs and subsequently has 3 bars to fill. For every enemy that gets hit by her drop kicks, pressure builds up within her legs that fill the meter at a rate of 3% per kick. Each bar increases movement speed by 5%, activating her turbo boosters. The meter will continue gaining pressure in battle whenever the drop kick is used. The bar stays at 15% max and will not go any further. Unequipping the armor cancels out the current progress and forces the meter to go back to 0%. The bar has a cool down of three posts before it starts to gain pressure again.- - - -
Active Ability:Burst of Speed: Builds up pressure in Aigis' turbo boosters instantly, not only increasing movement speed, but attack speed as well by +15%. This is a two-post burst move that uses up all the speed the meter has to spare. This ability is dependent on the meter's progression and does not activate if it is not maxed out. When activated, it will cost 25% of the user's MP. Burst of Speed lasts for 2 posts, and has a cool down of 6 posts. Any attack while in this form deals D rank damage.- - - -
Strengths:[/color]- The armor, regardless of it's generally mediocre defense, the speed bonus makes up for it.
- Field Analysis: The extended eye-wear feature of the armor is a press-button additional that analyzes the possible range of the attack and the damage it may inflict. Although the results may sometimes stray away from accuracy.
- The hardest part of the armor is located around her upper torso, protecting the Papillion Heart significantly.
- Aigis' Will is durable and light that serves its purpose as a +speed type of armor.
- - - -
Weaknesses:- The weakest part of her armor is around the area where her arms are joined to her torso and her arms, and along the length of her arms.
- The bonuses do not carry over unto a different set. If Aigis shifts from Aigis' Will to a different set, the +speed aspect of Aigis' will does not affect any of her attacks with that other set regardless if she shifts before the duration of the abilities are over.
- Since Turbo Meter gains pressure from kicks, it's a little hard to chain it with weapon attacks without having to kick every third post.
- Burst of Speed is only available once she fills the meter to its maximum. Therefor limiting the usage of this ability during battles.
- Prone to static overheating from being exposed to fire and damage to internal system from electricity.
- - - -
Duration and Cooldown: Lasts for 3 posts unless broken by 3 consecutive D-ranked spells (instantly broken by anything higher), cools for 4 posts.- The armor, regardless of it's generally mediocre defense, the speed bonus makes up for it.
- Heavy Mettle:
Name: Heavy Mettle (punny)
Rank: D
Type: Offensive, Melee, Instant
Description:Aigis is a battle tank, meaning that everything apart from her Internal 'Organs' can be utilized to become weapons. Her legs are quite the heavy-duty material so long as her body is pushed down with a force. Heavy Mettle is a sharp drop kick attack that gains it's pushing force from her body in Courage mode exerting pressure on her legs. To be executed, Aigis springs up from the ground (distance: 1 meter), with her 'mettle' diving down towards her feet that'll eventually lift her up into the air. The essence of her mettle then spreads throughout her legs and adds force to the attack as she descends, living up to its name. The total attack time can go from 5 seconds to 7 seconds depending on the presence of foreign distractions.With her natural robotic personality being so blunt and serious, it's no surprise she can carve holes into anything, including the ground. A consume of 15% of her MP literally leaves Aigis with the option to form a gaping hole if the attack misses (or purposely, or as a damage addition). This crater from her impact has a total range of 6 meters with a meter in depth. It can go as deep as 5 meters so long as she's willing to consume another 10% MP to force her mettle even further. In total, the spell deals D-rank damage, with the consume of 10% more MP, the spell will deal a total of 1.5 D rank damage.- - - -
Strengths:- It can be pretty lethal with perfect timing and usage.
- It goes well with a binding attack that keeps things at bay.
- If the caster has the option to jump higher than the usual distance, the damage upon impact is up to 1.5 D rank damage.
- Preferable timing would be against single targets or clumped up mobs.
- - - -
Weaknesses:- Teleporting abilities are this attack's worst nightmare, or speed and evasion, at least.
- Before hand, if the opponent is not under a status effect, it is possible to do an upward attack against her.
- The crater is a little useless without anything in the area that can fall into it.
- The crater is again rendered useless if she's interrupted in the process.
- A relatively great counter for this attack would be directly attacking her before Aigis makes a leap for it.
- - - -
Duration and Cooldown: The attack is an instant cast, and has a cooldown of 2 posts.- It can be pretty lethal with perfect timing and usage.
- The Morale and The Spirit:
Name: The Morale and The Spirit
Rank: D
Type: Offensive, Weapon
Description:Morale (left) and Spirit (right) are Aigis' upgraded wrist-attached guns whose bullets are released through her hollowed fingers. They are bulkier, and significantly better at handling essence-filled bullets better than her ordinary guns out of Courage mode. The bullets loaded into them are coated with Aigis' Essence of Morale and Spirit, wrapping them in a gold-to-white shine. Aigis has a total of 5 bullets per aim. After firing, the gun needs at least 10 seconds to load more bullets, discard the old barrels, and coat them in essence. Before the duration of the guns are over, Aigis has 30 essence-filled bullets that can be fired whenever she wants to. Only one gun can fire at a time considering how Aigis uses the other to stop herself from flying across the floor due to the strong pushing force the bullets deal when fired. From the caster to the target, it takes about 5 seconds to reach the maximum distance of 5.4 meters. The best possible distance these bullets can reach at full power is 5 meters away from the target. The farther it goes, the more the essences' power start to deteriorate. Timing is ever crucial.- - - -
Each set of bullets is worth 10% of her MP.
Active Ability:Aigis' battle morale and fighting spirit reaches it's peak at the height of battle, with this comes the strength of her assaults -the 6th bullet is always the best critical signal. When the opponent receives damage from 5 consecutive bullets (1 hit of 1 gun), Aigis can command the the given essences to pulsate through out the target's body, similar to a faint heartbeat. This pulse activates the essences' ability, which would be how the tiny tid bits of the materialized morale and spirit act as damage multipliers. For every successful shot (meaning the target has to be hit by five bullets, or one set of bullets in total) is a one-hit, 0.5 D rank damage additional to the next attack.- - - -
The command-prompt for the bullets would be upon voice command, "Pulse".
The damage multiplier directly affects Aigis' next attack, and will not be available after that. Passive and Active abilities do not benefit from this. This active ability costs 40% of her total MP to activate. It'll be available for use, again, after 6 posts and only when the guns are summoned covering a 10 post cooldown in total. Despite the fact that all her bullets are coated in essence, this ability can be only used once for the entire duration of the guns. The damage given the duration that the bullets can deal to a target can only scale as far as 1 D rank damage every post.
Passive Ability:
-locked-
- - - -
Strengths:- Sturdy and very battle-oriented with its bullet storage running up the entire length of Aigis' arms. Also very light and comfortable against Aigis' wrist, they do not seem to hold her down whatsoever.
- The bullets can be fired at any given time so long as the 10-second period of reload is over.
- Each gun is equal in terms of damage, therefor if Aigis favors Morale over Spirit, the damage does not scale nor does it fall.
- Apparently also makes a good hammer attack considering the strong metal that was forged to have it materialized (her morale and spirit, that is).
- - - -
Weaknesses:- The ammo reload time puts Aigis down on a 10 second out-of-firing state where she has to barrel out her arms, reload new bullets and coat them with essence.
- Damage is fairly mediocre when compared to higher class weapons, but it does it's job.(Each bullet set, which contains five bullets, deals a fourth (0.25 damage) of one D-rank damage. With a total of 6 sets of 5 bullets, the total damage is 1.5 D rank damage. When the active ability is successfully dealt with, the total damage that these guns can deal in their overall duration is 2 D rank damage.)
- The bullets do not travel consecutively, since they have a designated loading time. The bullet firing time can be slightly delayed if the guns are exposed to overheating or electricity that will cause the essence to revert back into their casing and will add an additional 5 seconds to Aigis' loading time.
- The guns can be heavily damaged to a point of malfunction when exposed to higher attacks continuously.
- Over-powering speed and evasive abilities can absolutely destroy any combo Aigis plans to make with the ability.
- Prone to static malfunction under intense levels of radioactivity or electricity.
- - - -
Duration & Cooldown:The guns stay on for 3 posts unless broken by 2 consecutive D-rank spells ( or 1 instant hit from anything higher), and cool for 4 posts.
- - - -
Weapon Spell:
Name: 5-fold Elan
Rank: D
Type: Offensive, Melee, Snare, Instant
Description:For Aigis, her worth as an android is determined by how she has faith in her abilities. The fact that she has that much self-confidence is overwhelming regardless of her rank. It's an admirable quality that proves to be an ally in a fight. 5-fold Elan is a straight line AOE composed of five bullets, heavily wrapped in Aigis' Essence of Elan. It acts like a snare when a target is hit, their movement is impaired for 5 seconds (1 post) as the essence escapes from the bullet's casing. The bullets travel with a speed of 1 second per meter, with an average distance of 4 meters. The Essence of Elan will slowly begin to collapse when they go further than 4 meters, rendering the attack useless when Aigis' ammo reverts back to their normal state.- - - -
To be casted properly, Aigis crouches down and aims for the target at a distance. Relying on her targeting skills, one hand will release five bullets simultaneously in a line measuring 1 meter in length. The orientation of the line will depend solely on how Aigis positions her arms at firing. When a bullet hits the target, the essence form two black rings (about 5 centimeters away from the actual target) that circle around the center of the opponent (think of a planetary atomic model) which makes it potentially hard to move when hit. Each successful bullet prohibits an opponent from doing anything until the duration of the spell is over unless the rings are destroyed by 2 D-rank spells or 1 hit from anything higher.
Active Ability:
Ten-ton Elan:
Sometimes the inspiring power of Aigis' confidence in battle becomes too overwhelming that it'll sooner or later turn into a burden for those around her to manage that tenacity of hers, it's weighs more than the actual robot. It's what Ten-ton Elan is all about, the essence of her confidence is often too much to handle considering she has vast quantities of it stored in hard drive. It's her essence adapting a sense of weight, but not in any physical form. This 'weight' is converted to a downward pushing force once the Elan has made contact with the target. Therefor dealing D-rank damage as it rams the victim into whatever is beneath prior to it getting hit by the bullets. To be activated, a voice command is needed: "Drop."
Ten-ton Elan cuts 30% of her MP when used. The ability will be available again after 4 posts.
- - - -
Strengths:- The spell synchronizes well with drop kicks.
- Potentially useful as an AOE regardless of its small hit box.
- Aigis can manipulate the orientation of the hit box by tilting her hand to her desired position. (e.g. tilting her hand vertically will fire a vertical line hit box, etc.)
- The ability is fairly good to deal an instant burst attack
- - - -
Weaknesses:- The bullets can only hold one target at a time, and even if the target seems paralyzed, the spell only makes it hard to move -there s still a chance to cast a spell if one pushes themselves to do so regardless of the strong force that binds them (the rings).
- Dodge-friendly.
- The spell has no damage dealer apart from its ability.
- Not very good for raids or ambushes considering its visibility.
- Aigis lacks mobility when executing the spell (due to her positioning), the loss of 3 seconds from ammo reloads, positioning and firing tend to cut off certain chained attacks.
- - - -
Duration & Cooldown: Stays for 1 post (unless destroyed), cools for 4 posts.- Sturdy and very battle-oriented with its bullet storage running up the entire length of Aigis' arms. Also very light and comfortable against Aigis' wrist, they do not seem to hold her down whatsoever.
