Name: Blade Shuriken
Gender: male
Age: 25
Appearance:
(freaky, had an idea in my head, went to look for something similar, found this, its exactly what I had in my mind 0.0)
Race: Human
Weapons: short sword strapped to his belt (in horizontal position) (later gets a katana)
Powers/magic: (if we can start with an artifact?) He has an strange artifact that is lodged in his spine under his skin an generally cant be seen of found.
from the center of his spine he can release a liquid silver colored metal that covers his entire body, with crystal like visors on his eyes, the mass can be reshaped to make things like claws or swords, bigger things like wings however need to leave spots on the "skin" open as the mass is limited.
the mass can also be crystallized as the visors indicate for multiple purposes such as turning black to hide in darkness or turn diamond to increase defense some more BUT prevent movement, also the visor can change to give other types of vision such as heat, high speed and even night and zoom
also it has at least 1 other shape it can take, a dragon like shape where its body is covered by blades, it gains wings and a tail, BUT leaves the stomach area and lower legs open as that inside the mouth of the dragon head you can reach Blade's his head (what means attacks aimed into the mouth might hit Blade's face), this shape however increases strength, high jumping due to the strength and heat vision
trough he is pretty powerful this artifact is filled with weaknesses:
-the "skin" need time to pull over Blade, its a short time but its still vital as the area that is most important, his front gets covered last, so a quick attack, a crossbow shot or something used right when he starts pulling the skin out of his back would go trough the opening before it covers the body completely
the skin is also not perfect, for example: bullets of a normal gun do get stopped but always leave a bruise, so the stronger the attack (like a dragon claw), the bigger the blow to Blade under the skin.
-each visor sight has its own weakness, heat vision might be useful to see though a wall but it cant see who is who, high speed will surely leave a splitting headache (at migraine level) and thus cause problems concentrating and keeping up with things, far sight prevents seeing close by, night vision is most likely the only one with no problem but cant see in light area's
-the black gem state is like any gem, a heavy thing so while it hides Blade, if Blade walks on things like metal or hard ground, chance that he makes sound is high
-diamond might increase defense so that he can take basically any blow, he cant move so its only useful for defense and its the hardest shape to make, AS that with some types of situations might give a blow to his insides, like falling from great height will leave him dizzy for a long while, perhaps even a concussion, trough the will survive the blow due to the diamond shape with no physical wounds aside some bruises.
-the dragon shape has open spots on the armor and fixed heat sight so useless in a team fight yet needs team members to cover the weakness parts
-the wings I mentioned are not for flight as the entire armor is to heavy, at most it can glide a little to prevent falling to death
-using any shape and falling in water will let Blade sink deep in seconds due to the weight it gets in water, Blade cant move due to the added weight during this and he sinks so fast that pulling the armor back into his back will still leave him to deep to swim back up, the armor would have limited air under water and only the dragon shape could walk under water BUT due open spots lets water in the armor, limiting air more and eventually end with drowning.
EDIT: second shape:
Wolf shape:
Taking on the wolf shapes his body turns more aerodynamic, walking on all 4's, having a wolf head and actually looks perfectly like a wolf in any way aside its silver color.
The wolf shape increases speed to high levels, also increase agility, able to scale walls to a small degree with the right momentum, it has small claws what is not of much use for attacking and is made purely for scaling the walls, the tail is made from blades and on the chin it a small yet sharp pin, the visor is a high speed sight nonstop, objects can be placed in the back layer in order to safely transport them, the ears take in sounds from all sides working as a small range radar or long range eavesdrops system.
Weaknesses:
-Walking on all 4's means Ryu loses using his hands or most human based traits aside talking.
-it has nearly no offensive ability's as the tail is hard to use in general, the chin pin can get stuck in the target and the paw claws are not made for attacking with, being to shallow.
-the visor just like the dragon cant be changed and will give Ryu a large headache the longer he is in this shape
-the space of the objects on the back is limited of course.
-the ears can only do one of the 2 options at the same time.
quite a lot of weaknesses, but with its speed and agility while not losing defense its only fair.
