Crimson Regalia

Regalia is one of those people who seem like they're pretty straightforward, except it turns out that any such belief is completely false, and in fact, contrary to the truth.
A true battle-lover, Regalia takes great pleasure in testing her strength against others. She follows a code of chivalry, though this doesn't stop her from letting loose on the battlefield, where she could be viewed of more of a beast than a person.
While not necessarily looking to pick fights with strangers, she will almost always accept one due to her nature.

However, even with such a warlike mentality, she is an honest and hardworking individual. She sees to it that those in need of assistance are assisted, and will drop everything to help others.
While not absolute, she is a huge sucker for people that ask for things, the words "please" and it's variations having great sway over her actions. In the moment, it'll be almost as if someone had controlled her mind, doing almost anything someone asking nicely asked for. Depending on what it was, though, there may be a sword drawn in the near-future afterwards.

## Appearance

Regalia features short, blonde hair, that when in direct sunlight appears to be tinted orange. In her base form she is a surprisingly petite figure, though muscles lie beneath. Her favorite color is red, and she often wears colors that reflect on the palette of red-orange-yellow, though she is my no means a stickler for dernier cri. In fact, most of her actual clothes are quite plain, preferring functionality over appearance.
She isn't all that tall, only standing at 5'6" and this can come sometimes as a hindrance in attempts at intimidation. Though, this would be naïve to assume for any party involved, for she can prove to be quite a handful for her size.

## Personality

Regalia somehow maintains having two very different personalities within one. One side of her is aggressive, competitive, and often pugnacious when a challenge arises. This is the face she wears when on the field, and often when she's flanked by strangers rather than friend. When she is with her friends, though, or even just those she has taken a personal liking to, her personality drastically shifts to being one of caring and general helpfulness. She would drop everything to help her friends, and turns more and more into a sucker for favors the closer she is to someone. As noted earlier, the words 'please' and the like nudge her very soul into helping. While she would most likely be able to resist a stranger, it becomes increasingly hard the more she knows someone.

## Abilities & Powers

**Drinking (Alcohol):** Regalia has an extremely high tolerance of alcohol, and enjoys it in many qualities, as well as quantities. When relaxing, she can often be seen inebriated, or attempting to become so, often frequenting bars and taverns if on land. When on the Manta Sol, she has learned to ration herself, as the storage is limited. Alcohol doesn't grow on trees and such. But wait, or does it? Regalia, in the Manta's greenhouse has begun diligent cultivation of Agave, Apples, Grapes, Sugarcane, and Wormwood, with the help of her dear friend Avani. Of course, Regalia proclaims that she maintains priority for the drinks made from these plants, even though she uses a fermenter system that Rezka built, not her. That said, most of the rest of her crew don't drink much regardless, leaving most of the produce to Regalia, Doomsaint, Celine, and to some's surprise, Caducea.

**Glutton:** Regalia has the ever-envied skill of being able to eat vast amounts of food with little to no physical change whatsoever. Something that she takes advantage of to the fullest. She can eat her entire weight in a single sitting if given the chance, and is always seeking out food or drinks to snack on throughout the day. It's not as if she needs to eat that much, so it wouldn't be life threatening for her to only eat normal-sized meals or smaller, however the amount of complaints that would be heard from her in the duration may make it seem as if it was. If there are any eating competitions in the near vicinity, Regalia is drawn to them like a shark to blood in the water. Regalia has a special skill in regards to eating as well. While wielding her personal pair of chopsticks, her speed and agility increase exponentially for the sole purpose of snagging as much food as possible. If food comes up in a fight, Regalia has also been shown to display increased power outputs as well, bursting with adrenaline at the thought of obtaining, or losing, access to substance. (Food substance, lol)

**Bloodlust:** Regalia has an uncanny knack for finding conflict. Not that it's attracted to her, but rather in the sense that she can feel where conflict and anger are present, as if they displayed a trail for her and her alone. She knows when others feel emotions of anger, rage, annoyance, and fury. While this is something that most could discern upon closer inspection, it's as if Regalia can sense these troubles from afar. Of course, it's not as if she usually uses this as a mode of staying away from conflict, rather often seeking out the source ecstatically. Perhaps it is by aid of her fruit, which seeks power through such feelings and emotion, but perhaps she simply has this sense innately as well.

### **Physical Prowess**

**Speed and Agility:** Regalia is much faster than the average fighter on average, however she is by no means a fighter that relies on speed over her other attributes. She uses her speed to quickly close the distance in between her and opponents, her speed being noticeably faster when engaging into a fight compared to the event of her retreat. She is agile in combat, though the size of her armor can make it so that some hits that wouldn't hit her herself scrape off the armor she wears. The armor itself doesn't seem to slow her down at all though, surprisingly, and she moves as if she is wearing naught but a set of loose and free clothes in her motions.

**Strength:** Regalia is physically active, and mostly lifts and does calisthenics to maintain and grow her strength. She often completes vigorous training exercises and spars with Buff D. Hero, who himself is perhaps an icon of physical strength. She doesn't aim towards bulking up though, rather wishing to complement her speed with strength as to open up an ease of quick transitions of maneuver in combat. She also has a very strong handle of her sword, wielding it fluently and flawlessly, with no err due to a lack of strength or anything of the like.

Her method of fighting is generally straightforward. She places strong emphasis on duking it out blow by blow in duels, which is her preferred form of fighting. She enjoys sizing up targets one-on-one, in tests of combat intimacy without the chaos of a battlefield to intervene. She relishes these moments, where herself and a strong opponent face off against each other. It's enjoyable enough if they are of relatively equal strength, but the thought of challenging an opponent stronger than her gives her a rush like no other.

In situations more discordant in nature, such as that of a volatile and dynamic battlefield, Regalia shifts her fighting style to allow her ease of mobility in order to make sure her friends are all safe. She actively seeks to protect and defend her allies, and backing them up in unfair situations that she thinks they cannot handle. If she thinks they can handle their situation at hand though, she will not intervene and instead continue skimming through the battlefield in a supportive fashion looking for anything or anyone she can help (with). Though, she will not actively seek to fight unfair battles either, often refusing to help allies in fighting opponents on unequal terms. The exemption of this would be in a situation of either necessity of retreat, or one where an opponent has overwhelming strength in comparison.

**Endurance:** Regalia herself isn't that built for taking too many blows, and without her devil fruit is prone to injury without a great deal of effort. That said, she DOES have her devil fruit, which allows her to bypass this drawback (while in use) nearly entirely, in fact making endurance one of her proficiencies when it is equipped, furthermore when it's primed in the midst of conflict and/or combat. Injuries themselves don't hold her back much, and she will constantly keep getting back up in light of being battered by blows if she feels the battle is still contestable, or if she has a drive to not give up. For better or worse, she almost never lacks the drive to not give up, often pushing herself maybe a bit too far when the cards are consistently against her.

### **Fighting Style**

Regalia is a master of Tendō, focusing in the Bosai Core, and has developed multiple techniques respecting the style that are unique to her. She also has a unique version of Pakka Orbiter in her arsenal, in which instead of forcing revolution, she instead forces both revolution and rotation. Essentially this means that, while normally one would simply be dragged by the force in a natural manner, Regalia can exert her gravity to alter their directional integrity altogether, and by choice.

Within the Bosai Core, Regalia has developed the following techniques:

* **Boda Mantis:** The user slashes the wind in front of them, propelling forth a slash of wind with sharpness, but not property, equivalent to that of the blade used to slash (Must be used with slashing weapon)
* **Boda Surfer:** The user swipes the air around them, then jumping on it as to ride it for a short distance before it's acceleration dispels. This can also be used with solid objects, such as a rock or tree.
* **Boda Sparrow:** The user dashes forward, upon their second connection with the ground, they push their weight into the ground as like **Geosurge**, then upon the acceleration from the propulsion they channel all their weight into the tip of the blade, and place all their strength in their arms as to retain it's point, then cutting through the opponent with a heavy blade.
* **Boda Pulse:** The user doubles their weight, letting off the surpassing weight out through their palm, actuating the matter struck. All other Bosai Techniques will trigger this actuated matter, causing it to tremor, or explode on impact
* **Boda Rend:** Simply a more powerful version of **Sei Rend**, and often with great success
* **Boda Skarra:** Very similar to Sol Oriana's **Kon-Ur Sak'ti, Boda Skarra** sees the user apply the concept of this technique with the application of **Boda Viper**, allowing the user to strike with this force naturally, and without any delay from though-process when one enters their blade's range. This technique can only be used when Regalia is in **Samurai/Bushi Form**.

By the power of her fruit, Regalia has furthermore developed the following forms/techniques as well:

* **Hoplite:** Regalia forms a large round shield (a hoplon), and recrafts an arm's worth of armor into a spear (a dory), and short sword (a xiphos). This leaves her with approximately 40% of her total armor left to re-arrange around her body, which she then spends on the presence of plated greaves, and a chest-plate that covers her torso. On occasion she trades the plate's presence on her back for a helmet adorned with a crest resembling a horsehair crest, though is made of red metal instead. The short sword/Xiphos can be replaced for the same recraft value by a Kopis, which is a heavy knife with a forward-curving blade, which is more effective in extremely close-combat in comparison to it's short sword counterpart.
* **Normanni:** Regalia shifts her armor into that of the standard ideal viking warrior, featuring a bowl-shaped helmet with a metal nose guard, and a wrapping armor resemblant of a chainmail hauberk. Due to the lack of thickness of body armor, though it does yet retain high durability to slashing piercing, but not bludgeoning, strikes, Regalia now has the option to pick two of the following weapons to equip via recrafting. The first is the Seax, which is a single-edge heavy blade, akin to a small sword or a very large knife. It performs not unlike a machete in effect. The second is a Carolingian Sword, which is the staple and defined "Viking Sword." It is often wielded in a single hand, however two-handed alterations do exist. The third is a Dane Axe, which is a two-handed single facing axe with a thin blade, featuring sharp points, or "horns," at the tips of the axe-bit. The blades themselves are light, making the axe very easy to handle for it's size. The fourth is the Atgeir. An atgeir is somewhat of a middle-ground between a glaive and a halberd, and is a long two-handed polearm occasionally sporting a downwards hook beneath the main blade. The main blade is most often single-facing, and is detached from the pole itself. Furthermore, there are two types of shields available that can be utilized, however if a shield is taken only ONE of the prior weapons can be used, though using one of the two two-handed weapons may prove unnecessarily difficult in tandem with a shield. The first shield is the Round Shield, which covers a great portion of the wielder's fore, nearly entirely encompassing their torso as well as their upper legs. The average diameter of these are from 75–90 centimeters. The second shield is the Kite Shield, which is a rounded-top shield that begins to point as it reaches to the bottom of itself, shaped like an almond, or a kite. They are almost exclusively used by cavalry/horsemen, as they are cumbersome for a foot warrior/infantry to make use of effectively in close combat
* **Knight:** Regalia shifts her armor to appear like that of a medieval-era knight, topped off with a thick, battle-ready helm to top it off. Regalia in this form most-often opts to wield her double-edged broadsword, and due to it being an existing weapon, and quite a well-made one, it is noticeably stronger than any of her solely crafted blades, where here she instead coats the blade selectively with fragments of the armor rather than it's entire make. When using this sword in **Knight** form, it dazzles a silver gleam. Regalia can also choose to craft a lance, however there is a prerequisite for this to occur. Regalia must either be mounted (can be anything), or must craft a mount with her armor for her to ride. Crafting a large mount takes approximately 70% of the total armor capacity Regalia maintains, so it is nearly exclusively used when battles are known to be occurring much in advance, so that Regalia has time to regenerate more armor whilst riding a crafted steed. (The crafting technique is similar to ferromancy)
* **Samurai/Bushi:** Regalia shifts her armor to appear like that of a samurai, and crafts some of her armor into a katana. While in this form, Regalia only has access to a single weapon, being said katana, and can only maintain this form whilst fighting one-on-one with an opponent. It is superior compared to all the other forms in regards to dueling, however the second Regalia shifts her target the armor will break, and reforge itself into the **Knight** form automatically. The armor itself finds itself able to deflect projectiles, and allows for oncoming blades to potentially become stuck, or lodged, within it. Regalia's most used technique when in this form is **Boda** **Skarra**, and when this armor is seen she becomes noticeably more focused.
* **Cataphract:** Regalia bolsters her armor, thickening it to nearly double it's volume, additionally crafting an equally armored steed upon which she rides nearly always when in this form. The armor is extremely impenetrable to slashing and piercing attacks, and it's only weakness is that of repeated and targeted blunt strikes, such as those with a mace. Regalia, when in this form, recrafts a very small amount of armor into a lance (thin and doesn't take much %), as well as a one handed mace, often appearing as a winged mace, with which to fight after completing her initial charge. This form excels at defense, however aside from the initial lance-bearing charge, it lacks much offensive capability, usually seeking to outlast opponents rather than outright defeat them.
* **Landsknecht:** Landsknecht armor appears similar to the armor given by the **Knight** form, however appears much more refined and provides less total defensive capability, instead prioritizing the recrafted weaponry over the defense. Regalia is able to craft two of the following three weapons, each being a staple of the class. The first is the halberd. The halberd is very long, often nearly twice the length of Regalia herself, and features an axehead alongside a piked tip. It is great for keeping distance between Regalia and her opponent. The second is the Zweihänder, a large longsword that (obviously) takes two hands to wield, and deals devastating blows to flesh and armor alike. It also excels at keeping distance between Regalia and her opponent if such a fighting style is desired, though it is easily able to capitalize through it's range an offensive prowess. The third weapon is unique among the weapons Regalia can recraft from her armor, being ranged rather than melee. The third weapon is the Arquebus, which takes the form of a long handgun, with which Regalia wields if/when she has ammunition available. Luckily, she does not need to waste time reloading, instead modifying the weapon to that ammunition can be inserted via magazine.
* **Toa:**

Regalia's most sported form is that of the **Knight**, with the rest generally falling underneath it at a relatively equal pace. That said, her least used form is that of the **Landsknecht**, as part of the form often requires additional preparation aside from simply recrafting the armor and weapons themselves. (aka, needs ammo for gun) The form that provides the most defense is the **Cataphract** form, where the one with the greatest overall offensive capability is the **Normanni** form. The most powerful recrafted weapon are those of the **Samurai/Bushi** form, and the best in close combat, but not completely duel-dedicated fighting is the **Hoplite** form, which additionally excels at protecting others. The **Toa** form is perhaps the most all-or-nothing form, providing zero defense, and instead rerouting the entirety of Regalia's armor into the power of recrafted weapons

## Equipment

Regalia most often wields a large Double-edged Broadsword, named **Ares**, that she often coats in fragments of her fruit's ability to strengthen. This is her only weapon that, in it's standard form, is not recrafted from her armor however, making it her go-to in the event of a surprise conflict. Additionally, it is utilized under the class of **Knight** within her realm of armor classes, subsequently making the **Knight** class her go-to in the aforementioned situation.

Aside from this, she always carries her trusty pair of chopsticks, which she uses dexterously to snipe the last pieces of food at the dining table.

## Trivia

Regalia Crimson is based on the character Mordred from the Nasuverse
