Set of the Shadow Queen

The set of the shadow queen is a full attire designed and crafted by the magister Vincent Fiorelli. It's meant to give the user a tremendous advantage in battle by hiding the aura signature they give off through the link established between the suit and a personal dimension as well as increasing the user's various basic attributes. This artificially created dimension is under the control of the armor's user - the person wearing it at the time. This is a point which should be stressed: The suit is not designed specifically to be used by one person; it will obey and act accordingly based on the whims of the person wearing it at the time.

The set consists of three pieces, two of which are integrated into the main armor and serve as weapons. Next, I'll explain each piece in detail.

• Skinsuit of the Shadow Queen

This is the main and most important piece within the set. Its disguised form appears to be a plain looking, polished opal, and it's only when the gem is embedded in the body that its real form surges forth. The opal can be placed either on the middle of one's back, where it will sink into the flesh and latch onto the spinal cord, or in the middle of one's chest, where it will sink into it with a very small part of the jewel protruding from inside the skin. Now, another point that should be stressed is that the jewel will create the armor based on the user's preferences. To clarify, gathering the memories and the user's previous attires, it will create a new one specifically tailored to the person using the gem. It can be a knight's suit, an immense armor, or simple pieces of clothing such as a shirt and a pair of pants or light leather armor. Any form it takes will match the coloration of the user's liking.

The composition of the suit, however, is a different matter altogether. No matter what form the suit takes, it will always be made of the key material the Fiorelli crafted. Perhaps arrogant, perhaps as a whim, Vincent named this material "Fiorellite", a flexible metal that is, at the same time, not one. Through months of research, he came up with a new substance that is not only flexible and light, but extremely resistant and capable of stopping powerful blows - almost as though the suit was metallic.

Soft to the touch despite its looks, whenever the suit's user is in danger, it will enter a "Defensive" mode and concentrate vast quantities of kinetic, psychokinetic, and metaphysical energies entirely under its own influence to defend the wearer. At the moment of impact, the suit will release this energy to counteract the enemy's attack/s, where it will be ultimately nullified through either dissipation and absorption (if it's energy), destruction, or deflection. Energy dissipated will be purified and taken in by the suit by calculating the wandering points of the dissipated 'particles'. Energy destroyed will aid the suit in a manner which will be explained at the end.

The suit's defensive effects cannot be bypassed through conventional means once it is functional as the Skinsuit of the Shadow Queen is specifically crafted to protect the user from all angles and to prevent surprise attacks when outside of battle. When the user enters battle wearing the suit, however, the defensive properties are limited to the user's awareness. Outside of battle, the suit offers full passive protection.

Aside from providing these defenses, it will also increase the user's normal speed and reaction time, boost physical flexibility, increase stamina, increase raw strength, and offer minor boosts to resistances against the fire and lightning elements.

• Spines of the Shadow Queen

Although they're called "Spines", these will take on the form the user deems fit for their bodies or their weapon(s) mastery/masteries. Their normal forms are two long, curved blades, each one jutting out from a pair of gauntlets. These gauntlets will respectively cover the whole extent of the user's arms, and they will only alter the details on their frame, engravings (should they have any), and other minor details to match the armor. The gauntlets will not be altered, as they "make" the weapon(s), so to say. Should the user's mind contain records of any martial art they have practiced in the past, these will assume their spine form, whereas if they practice any other sort of discipline, a pair of weapons concerning that discipline will be created.

Some examples include:

In swordmanship - Dual Kodachi; Sword and Sheath; Dagger and Sheath; Sword and Dagger; Dual Swords; Dual Daggers; Rapier and Sheath; Dual Rapiers; etcetera.
In archery - Bow and Unlimited Arrows; Long Bow and Unlimited Arrows; Crossbow and Unlimited Bolts; Siege Crossbow and Unlimited Bolts; etcetera.

System hasn't been tested extensively but the possibilities are probably limitless.

It also makes use of Endless Magic in order for arrows, bolts, and other kinds of ammunition in short or long ranged weapons to never run out. These weapons are made out of "Fiorellite" as well, and are capable of storing large quantities of kinetic, psychokinetic, metaphysical, and various forms of elemental energies. The weapons attune themselves with the energy signature of the user, making it easy for the wearer to channel elemental attacks and other abilities through them.

• The Dimension of the Shadow Queen

This is a perfect copy of Vincent Fiorelli's personal dimension sans the objects he keeps within. Though, to say it is a 100% carbon copy is erroneous, as every time someone wields a Set of the Shadow Queen, a new dimension is created by the suit. It contains a myriad protective sigils, both defensive and offensive, with varying effects whenever activated. These effects range from the one activating the sigil being pelted with egg-like poison bombs to the more complex dimensional and/or planar eradication. Particular sigils have the power to create a parallel universe altogether, copying a certain point in history and discontinuing it, thus causing a dimensional collapse from where the one activating the trap cannot escape as all dimensional points are blocked by the sigil and by "time" itself.

The dimension serves to store a grand number of things within the countless bounded spaces it holds. The entire set possesses a direct link with this dimension that the user can use to throw in or pull things out from within at will. However, the user will not be able to throw in living creatures whose will they cannot control. (e.g.: can't throw other characters in. NPCs are fine, though.)

• Stealth Mode

This is the Shadow Queen's boon. As long as the user wears this set of armor, Stealth Mode will be in effect passively. This means that the user does not have to activate it - it is always active -, but the wearer can issue a command to deactivate it if required. The Shadow Queen's influence will protect the wearer from any means of detection enemies could possess, practically making the user invisible to the enemy's senses. This will NOT turn a person invisible in plain sight - it will only turn them invisible in radar-like and sensor-like abilities, hiding their energy signature and aura. In the darkness or out in the open, the wearer of the Set of the Shadow Queen will appear as blurred and almost fully transparent, making it difficult for an enemy to fully lock onto them, be it with their eyes or additional senses.

• Energy Absorption & Storing

As the suit was tailored with Endless Magic in mind, it can hold a limitless amount of energy deep within. The wearer can use this energy to fuel the attacks of the Spines, or simply store it for the Skinsuit's defensive systems. Keep in mind the defensive systems need to be directed manually (and possibly reactivated) - if and only if - the user steps into battle. Outside of battle, they are always active.

The suit can also absorb energy from the environment or from alternate universes, dimensions, or planes.

• Destroyed Energy

The energy destroyed will fuel the dark part of the suit and strengthen the opal, thus strenghtening the user. If the quantity of energy destroyed becomes too high in the midst of the battle, an exact copy of the user wearing the suit will branch off and attack. This will cause the user's strength to grow exponentially until the copy is eradicated, bestowing additional defenses based on the type of energy that has been destroyed up to the point of immunity against it.

The copies created are called "Soul Jars" and cannot be treated as NPCs. They must be faced as an exact copy of the wearer, albeit slightly weaker. They are not comprised of energy, instead being flesh and blood, and will attempt to follow the wearer's thought process. Alternatively, they can also be controlled by the user.
