Heart Hybrid Gear

**Heart Hybrid Gear**  (ハートハイブリッドガー *Hāto Haiburiddo Gā*) or **HHG** for short (magic-tech armor for Atlantis) is a Magic armor which provides a wide variety of abilities.

## Overview

Hida Nayuta invented them on Earth, though they already existed for a while in Vatlantis. Once a "Core" is installed inside the body, the user can freely equip the armor by calling out the name of the core. However, if the core is removed from the body, the user will die, unless special procedures are followed. Most of the HHG users are female, as magic power is greater in females.

Hybrid Count is the life force energy of the user of the Heart Hybrid Gear. When the count decreases to a certain extent, the armor vanishes. After time passes, the energy recovers. Furthermore, it seems there is also a way to power up the armor, but the armor is still enveloped in many mysteries.

The 'Ros' series take an extremely long time to recharge the Hybrid points naturally. While an ordinary HHG takes about a month to recharge completely, the 'Ros' series used by the members of Amaterasu would recharge to about 3% in that time. The 'Ros' series uses the life force of the user, making them more powerful than other Hybrid Gears. If the Heart Hybrid count were to reach zero, the user would die. Kizuna's Eros HHG can speed up the recharge time dramatically.

While removing the core normally causes death, methods to safely remove it without killing the user exists. Hida Nayuta was able to safely remove the core from a pilot's body without injury or ill effect, thanks to her powers as a Machine God. The core can be reinserted.

## Powers & Abilities

HHG grants their user weapons, armor and abilities that different between cores, both in appearance and basic performance. The usual abilities HHG gives their pilots are:

* **Enhanced Physical Abilities:** The user gains increases in their strength, speed and reflexes. It varies between each HHG, ranging from only slightly to superhuman level.
* **Flight:** The user can freely fly over long distances and even into outer space.
* **Life Saver:** The protective barrier that surrounds the pilot's body. It protects the pilot from any kind of harm, even from being in space and entering a planet's atmosphere.
* **Self-Support:** HHG provides all the necessary things to preserve the pilot's life, which coupled with live saver allows user to survive in both underwater and even in free space.
* **Special Abilities:** Some HHG can give their pilots special powers that most HHG don't have. Those in the El-series can control space in different ways.
* **Armament:** HHG usually comes out with their own weapons and armor. They come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, purpose and colors, some even possess a special ability. However, they normally are limited to one type of weapon. The weapons of an HHG can't be taken or used by anyone besides the actual user, as they turn into particles someone else tries to hold it.
	+ **Corruption Armament:** Ros-series HHG has access to a special type of weapon or ability that is much stronger than their usual armament. Corruption Armaments can be divide into three categories: they can become a stronger version of the HHG's main weapon (the sword wielding Neros gains a larger sword that can cut through anything), a weapons that cover what the HHG lacks (the close combat Zeros gains a powerful long-range cannon), or a special attack with immense power that they can only use's once (Kuros gains the one-hit one-kill Crosshead). Accessing the Corruption Armament is difficult normally, usually requesting a a larger amount of magic than want the user has.

Of all the HHGs, Eros is the most unique and mysterious. It lacks any weapons but can use the weapons of other HHG, it's basic performance is fairly low on it's own, it's male-exclusive (which makes sense considering the nature of its abilities) and possess a unique special ability that allows it's user to refill and power up it and other HHG. Even it's Corruption Armament is different from others, taking the form of armor with an ability meant for defeating gods. This makes Eros both the weakest and the most powerful HHG, depending on if it used by the right type of person in the right type of environment, as Kizuna only become aware of Eros's potential after he move to Ataraxia.

While not to the same degree as Eros, Zecros is also considered special among HHGs. It's the first core that was created to be exclusive to a single person. Zecros has the highest stats that surpass even a powered up core, and comes with two available weapons instead of one, both of which are incredibly powerful.

### **Machine God Version**

Machine Gods have unique form of HHG that are vastly superior to the usual HHG. They are far larger and more powerful compared to the human HHGs, including large types like Taros and Demon. Furthermore, they are created by the Machine God's own power rather than being installed into them, making them more of an extension of themselves.

After becoming a Machine God, Hida Nayuta became able to power up the Ros-series cores by removing their limiters and making improvements to their performance without increasing the magic power consumption. After being reinstalled through Climax Hybrid with Kizuna, the improved HHGs become similar to those used by the Machine Gods in appearance and power. However, the larger sizes were a result of the pilot's own power being smaller compared to the HHG's. After doing Harem Hybrid, all the powered up HHG returned to their original sizes because their pilots own power had increased enough to handle them.
