[Terence Sharpton]

Conversation in the #simchamber led me to remember that I, as a (lazy) mod, actually have a stipend! Do you know what that means?! I should give it out to people. Now, I could just give it out randomly but where's the fun in that? No, instead I want you guys to work for this free pile of money that I have (and can't spend on myself). Now what do I want you to work on, you may ask? Well, it's simple!

I just got Lord of Elemental for the DS at Anime Expo last week and it's a fun game. A really fun game. So let's make things simple. I want you, the residents of the SC, to make a Masouki. No, not a masoukishin (unless you can somehow explain it), but just a regular Masouki. The series in general doesn't get enough love and since I have the game, I plan to buy a shitton of them (once I have the credits and there's a sale). So here's what I want you to do! Dev a Masouki (this is like any other contest just put the writeup here) and make sure it fits within the storyline, has a coherent backstory and reason as to why it's built, and hell, why not explain the backstory of its pilot as well. I want something interesting to read and use within the SC, so do your best and try to impress me!

The person who wins gets 3000 Credits to be used for anything they want (although I would prefer if they used it to dev the thing they made).

BITCHES DON'T WANT FREE MONEY, I guess.

You have 3 days left, jerks! Although technically I could just keep this contest going indefinitely until someone bothers making one...

meh~ Might as well try~
and since I have ZERO background in Masouki stuff, and don't play LoE, I may be pulling stuff out of no where

---

Unit Name: Plajiner
Classification: B-Class Masouki
Element: Water / Ice
Country of Origin: Holy Kingdom of Langran
Production: 1 Made
Armor Material: Orihalcon and Ceramic
Height: 28 meters
Weight: 38.5 metric tons
Full Weight: 70.0 metric tons

Description:
A unique Masouki created by Langran. Originally meant as a trial to see if the Gaddess can be mass produced, it was some how blessed with the spirit of water. The unit is massive, and is as massive as Granveil. It's role is to purely support allies in combat, by restoring lost energy, or to do field repairs in battle. The mass of this unit is mainly an outer exoskeleton, which provides the unit damage resistance. Special runes are carved within the outer armor, to shrug off most, if not all, physical status attacks. It also allows the unit to create a barrier to protect itself and allies if called upon to do so. Can easily move itself in the water, as it is blessed by it

Abilities>
Repair: This unit can repair damaged parts on allied units
Resupply: This unit can resupply energy to allied units.
Rune Armor: Overall, this outer armor protects the user from in coming attacks, but does not negate it's damage. However, the runes built into the armor provide negation to physical status effects, such as stun or burn.
Cascade Barrier: A wall of water, appears in front of the Plajiner, which protects the unit like a barrier. Can also summon this "barrier" in front of allies to shield them from incoming attacks.
Rune Purge: Once strong enough, the pilot can make the outer armor purge itself to reveal the truth behind Plajiner -a Masouki built for fast combat, utilizing the power of ice.

Weapons>
Melee: A basic hand to hand combat
Vivid Staff: It's staff forged with the element of water. This is the source of the unit's repair and resupply ability, as well as it's power to create the Cascade Barrier.
Caloric Missile: A "beam" bolt fired from the unit's torso, which homes onto the enemy, quite literally like a missile (I have no idea what it is, other than referring to OGS or OG)
Angel Tear: A unique wide area spell that heals mass numbers of allies
Spirit Mist: A unique wide area spell that rejuvenates the energy of allies.
Gypsy Fog: The unit creates a thick fog that shrouds the battlefield, making everyone in the thick fog clueless as to where their targets are
Aqua Blast: A variable output magic attack consisting of water.
Tidal Action: A wide area attack which changes the terrain, regardless of where it is, into a flood plain.
Tidal Surge: Another wide area attack, however, rather than creating a flood, it generates a tidal wave of massive proportions.

Unit Name: Plajiner [Rune Purge]
Classification: B-Class Masouki
Element: Water / Ice
Country of Origin: Holy Kingdom of Langran
Production: 1 Made
Armor Material: Orihalcon and Ceramic
Height: 28 meters
Weight: 38.5 metric tons
Full Weight: 70.0 metric tons

Description:
A unique Masouki created by Langran, and is the true self of the heavily armored version. The rune armor, in a sense, is a limiter that allows the unit to hide it's potential. Further more, a secondary limiter is installed within the Plajiner to become a fierce combatant -however, it requires for the unit to take damage. Unlike it's armored form, this one truly is mobile and agile, although not as much as those built for speed, like Cybuster.

Abilities>
Cascade Barrier: One of few abilities that remained on this mode. This is because the staff, which held it's power, is now exposed as a rapier, focusing most of it's potential mana to damage, rather than support.
Cascade Shield: Due to losing most of it's potential damage reduction, a new form of protection is created through the Cascade Barrier. By pinpointing it's defense capabilities, it produces a shield like negation, rather than a wide range barrier.
Frost Charge: The second and final limiter on the Plajiner, only activated when it's HP is low. It boosts the unit's damage potential and speed potential, although loses majority of it's defense potential.

Weapons>
Melee: A basic hand to hand combat
Vivid Saber: A saber made of solid ice. Surprisingly, it does not melt in the presence of fire, nor does it break as easily.
Vivid Striker: Infused with magic, the rapier strikes true and pierces all defenses.
Caloric Missile: A "beam" bolt fired from the unit's torso, which homes onto the enemy, quite literally like a missile (I have no idea what it is, other than referring to OGS or OG)
Frost Shards: It creates mass numbers of icicles in the air, and rains it down on the enemies.
Ice Nova: Some what similar to the Aqua Blast, but upon impact, the unit is covered with ice.
Crystal Field: Requires the Frost Charge to be operational. It strikes the Vivid Saber into the ground, and creates a vast ice field, changing the landscape, and engulfing anyone who is touched by the ice.
Frostbite: A unique attack requiring the Frost Charge. It freezes the enemy in ice, and while the enemy is incased or immobilized in it, it strikes multiple times. In the end, it strikes with the Vivid Striker.

Note : well i figured that i should at least try despite the fact that i'm lacking of info on LoE stuff because it kinda hard to find (atleast for me). and yeah, i basically a beginner in understanding LoE stuff, also i fail at playing LoE because my emulator sucks. so this attempt is pretty much based on my small knowledge of masouki with the risk of losing my life by the rage of masouki's fans.

“Xerafreyr”

Type: B-Class Masouki

Comparative Size: 24.5 meters.

Background:
A prototype unit of Shutedonias Alliance. it was first meant to be the test design for the A-class Masouki "Jinou" and Blessed with the spirit of the Fire. However, before they manage to gather a complete data for its second stage development, the unit went missing during the final test after creating a large explosion that destroy the test facility. one year later, Hino Suzuka, a suicidal young schoolgirl who had lost its will to live suddenly wakes up inside Xerafreyr Cockpit. she was confused with the situation because the last thing she remembered is that she were supposed to be dead after jumping from 30th floor of her apartment. but before she can regain her self and the current condition, the unit alarm her of incoming attack. before she know it, her body react and start piloting Xerafreyr as if she's already been piloting this since she was a kid.

Xerafreyr is a unit perfectly designed for superiority in melee combat. this unit is truly mobile and agile, it strike fast and fierce, truly fitting its Wolf like image. the main weapon is a pair of reverse dagger which is sharp enough to pierce armor like a melted butter. there's a constant heat generated from its armor during combat, and because of this nature, the armor is made from special blend material with high heat resistance and practically immune to any heat based or acid type attack.

Weapons:

• Pain dagger : A pair of armor piercing dagger
  
• Caloric Missile : several missile shoot from its shoulder.
  
• Beam blast : it shoot a short blast of beam from its palm
  
• Blue Dagger : it infuse high temperature blue fire and lengthen the dagger reach and its damaging capability.
  
• Flaming Beast Dance : Rapid multi-direction strike using its sheer speed, and ripped the opponent with element enhanced Pain dagger. because of the nature of this dagger and added with the extremely high momentum of it swing, this attack can easily penetrate any kind of armor.
  
• Prominence : As supposedly this class masouki can't really use a powerful element attack, Xerafryer however after Suzuka manage to find her resolution are able the generate the output equal to A-class Masouki and created this attack. basically the unit do a fully charge Kick to the ground after jumping high and created a huge flaming blue fire pillar upon impact.

Systems & Frame:

• Spirit dependency link: a synchronization between its pilot and the unit, and in order to increase the unit's performance the pilot must find resolution within it self, and find its own true ability.
  
• Flaming Barrier: the ability to create a barrier from fire to block some damage and damage any melee attempt from the enemy.
  
• Trailblazer: despite not being able to move as fast as cybuster, this unit can create an after image of itself from the heat generated by the outer armor to confuse the target as it move in high speed.

ONLY TWO ENTRIES? That's sad.

REALLY SAD.

I'm extending this to August 9th to give people the full month to look over their entries and for other people to submit more. If you need references, you can always look here to see what Masouki already exist and what spirit has blessed the robot.

Stahlos
Height: 26.1m
Weight: 22.5t

After the defeat of Volkruss in the hands of Masaki and Shuu, La Gias is at peace again. The peace treaty with Shutedonias Alliance was established, and everyone was happy. But SCIENCE never stops, and because of that, Xenia Grania Bilseia decided to try and work together with Wendy Lasm Ikunart to create a new experimental Masouki. Using Staria, the spirit of sparks (low level Fire) as the patron spirit, both of the girls decided to create something together. After working together for a while, a tall and slim Masouki was created, its crimson body adorned with flame-like ornaments. With a pair of phoenix wings, the Stahlos can actually fly and break the speed of sound if it needs to do so.

Because the girls couldn't find anyone suitable in La Gias to pilot the new Masouki, they ended up asking for permission to summon someone from earth, using "protection of the country from future threats" as an excuse in order to get a test pilot. After getting the permission, they went and summoned someone from earth. The summonee was an aristocratic English girl by the name of Eliza Pendragon. Passionate, yet kind, Eliza immediately agreed to help the girls out since she was getting bored with her life back home. When she first entered the cockpit of the Stahlos, she immediately felt comfortable with the mecha, and was able to do amazing feats using the Masouki. She trained under Gennady and Mio for a while, with Mio trying to get Eliza to become her manzai partner since Gennady isn't into it enough. Not realising what she is getting into, Eliza quickly agreed to become Mio's new Manzai partner, and a new manzai duo was born! Of course Gennady is really thankful for that since he is now free from having to memorize Mio's jokes...!

Weapons:
Caloric Missile: The 'feathers' on Stahlos wings can release small energy missiles that will home on enemies. Smaller than the ones used by Cybuster, Stahlos' version of Caloric Missile depends on numbers to deal damage on enemies.
Death Cutter: A powerful sword similar to the one used by Jaohm.
Hyper Railgun: A massive handheld railgun that can be used to snipe enemies from afar.
Crimson Edge: The Stahlos will fly up while charging the Death Cutter with flames, causing the sword to blaze up before throwing it at the enemy. After piercing through the enemy, the sword will hit the enemy once again on its way back, as if it was a boomerang.
Phoenix Flare: The Stahlos has its Hyper Railgun and Death Cutter modified in order to be able to combine with each other to create a crossbow-like weapon. Charging the weapon with fire, the Stahlos will then release a phoenix-shaped fiery projectile to attack its enemies.
Excalibur: The Stahlos will hold up the Death Cutter and place it in front of its face while Eliza focuses her prana into the weapon, causing it to blaze up. It will then swing the sword back, and as it is swung backwards, the sword's fiery blade will automatically extend itself, making it even longer than the masouki itself. With a shout of "EXCALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!" Eliza will use the Stahlos to swing the sword forward, cleaving through whatever is standing before her.
Excalibur Galatine: A more refined version of Excalibur with similar execution steps, but instead of extending the sword with flames, all the fire will be focused on the slashing side of the blade, making it sharper than ever. Quickly boosting towards the enemy, the Stahlos will then two powerful slashes to finish off Eliza's enemy.

(Well here is mine. I don't do LoE frequently... as if ever? but yeah, I'm gonna try)

B-Class Masouki: Eneras

Height: 23.6 Meters
Weight: 20.3 Tons

Background:

La Gias was at peace after the defeat of the Dark God, Volkruss. Of course, several armed conflicts still erupted then and now, mostly by the brigands that had managed to get their hands on lower-ranked Masoukis like Shutedonias' Renfa, or Bagonia's Bendeid.

In a means to let the four Masoukishins rest, the Holy Kingdom of Langran set to work on a new model of Masoukis that would be quick yet sturdy enough to compete against the random and versatile brigand threat. As of such, with the help of Wendy, they devised a prototype of Masouki that held the qualities needed. The Eneras. To power the prototype, it was contracted to a spirit that reigned over typhoons (high-rank water).

Using an intelligent mix of both ceramic and orihalcon, Wendy managed to create a sturdy enough armor while not sacrificing the unit's speed, though now all it needed were weaponry and a pilot.

Fortunately, as soon as the Kingdom looked for a suitable pilot, a no-home wandering man was of passage- Elarn Crindel. Seeing a chance to make some quick money to fund his next trip, Elarn decided to jump onto the offer and try to be Eneras' prototype pilot. Most surprisingly, both pilot and mech seemed made for each other.

Wendy, instead of trying to whip up a standard equipment, decided to use Elarn's fighting style to create an adequate weapon list. It was quickly shown that Elarn was a balanced fighter- both at ease with a sword and with a firearm. In the initial test of the weaponry, Elarn used a normal sword and a retro-fitted smaller Railgun in conjunction, and managed to make a very damaging (I.E: destroying all target dummies) combined attack.

As soon as the Kingdom and Wendy saw the Eneras' and Elarn's strength, their hopes of creating a new protector could only soar, as Elarn massed in quite some money for volunteering to be a pilot.

At the end, Elarn himself commented: " Heh, never I could've imagined that gettin' cramped into a cockpit and doing the same stuff over and over again could get so fun. Ooh, shinies. "


Statistics:

The Eneras was made for both the ability to quickly locate and fight brigand forces and also both take enemy fire and do menial but physically-stressing tasks for the Masouki. As of such, its Orihalcon & Ceramic frame and armor, with much more of the former than the latter, allows for such a feat. Even though originally the frame was slightly fast, Wendy decided to work even more on its speed by adding four thrusters, hidden under fake wings. Those four thrusters allow for sustained flight, and the frame's vaguely humanoid shape allows it to walk upon ground.

Weapons:

- Caloric Missile: A staple in Masouki weaponry, these energy missiles are stored in the torso of the Eneras. When launched, some plates of the armor are opened to reveal cannon-like openings, from which the missiles are shot.

- High Caliber: A new type of sword for the finalized prototype, this sword is a long, single-bladed sword, with no guard. This design allows for a more aerodynamic slice, thus countering the weapon's length in terms of speed.

- Lancer Railgun: An Hyper Railgun, shortened. Most of the Hyper Railgun is there, but it has been shortened and lightened to be held in one hand, losing long-range capabilities but gaining the ability to be used in conjunction with the High Caliber.

- Typhoon Roar: One of the rare spells Elarn accepted to train with, this spell allows the Eneras to imprison enemies in a steadily growing typhoon, pelting them in hot water and wind and disabling their abilities to run away once hit- thrusters do need to burn fuel, don't they?

- True Caliber: A basic spell of strengthening turns the High Cailber into the True Caliber, and where the former would lacerate, the latter will decapitate.

- Twin Caliber: The notorious combination attack that showed Elarn's prowess during testing. Both usable against one enemy or multiple enemies, the Twin Caliber is a dance of sword and bullet, relentless and devastating. The multiple unit version uses sword flourishes and circular, wide-spread firing with both the Lancer Railgun and the Caloric Missiles, whilst the single-unit version uses quick, stacatto-like thrusts with the High Caliber and random firing from the railgun and missiles.

- Typhoon Caliber: This dangerous move starts out the same as Twin Caliber (both variants), but it uses the Eneras' spells to complete the attack. Upon the multiple-unit version, after the flourishes and circular shooting, the Eneras will entrap the enemies in a Typhoon Roar, and will keep firing into the typhoon, using its circular ascending current to pelt the enemies with even more debris and projectiles. The single-unit variant has it trap the enemy in the Typhoon Roar, and simply has the Eneras walk up to it, and stab the High Caliber deep into the enemy's body, and placing the Lancer Railgun upon the enemy's head, firing one shot. The beauty of the thing is that the Typhoon prevents anyone from seeing what happens during those final moments, giving the Eneras and its pilot, Elarn, a very notorious reputation.

Abilities:

- Stream Current: Using minor manipulation, the Eneras can summon quick currents in front of itself to block minor attacks. (Barrier)

[Behemoth]
Series: Banpresto Originals: Masoukishin: Lord of Elementals: SimChamber Original Units
Unit Type: Masouki

A B-class Masouki developed by the Holy Kingdom of Langran, the Behemoth is just that. Blessed by the spirit of Iron, the Behemoth is a veritable walking fortress whose lumbering pace and colossal size make it one of the most notable Masouki in any battle it arrives to. However, in stark contrast to its gigantic and almost serene appearance, its pilot is a polar opposite. Hisa Tanaka, a young girl with a surprisingly eager combat personality, transforms the seemingly quiet and unassuming Behemoth into a devastatingly powerful combatant if it manages to get its hands on anything. Her attitude is also tempered by her penchant for dramatic battle cries and weapon names, which gives the hulking Masouki even more of a presence as screeching yells echo out from it during battle.

[Weapons]

Iron Knuckle
Despite its seemingly flashy name, it is simply a straight punch with the Behemoth's massive forearms.

Steel Shooter
Mounted on the Behemoth's shoulders are two large (compared to other Masouki) Buster Cannons which fire in tandem. Hisa being who she is however, she refuses to use a boring name.

Iron Hammer
Channeling the spirit of iron more directly, the Behemoth's forearms can actually appear to grow by plunging them into the ground and coating them in a layer of metal pulled from beneath the battlefield. When striking an enemy, the metal shatters on impact, causing additional shrapnel-like shards of iron to slice into the enemy like a grenade.

Hissatsu Ougi: Zantetsuken
In a move similar to the Iron Hammer, the Behemoth gathers metal around its right fist, this time forming a long, ragged looking sword from its hand. With a flash in its eye it suddenly moves deceptively quickly to its target, stopping feet from them and delivering one savage overhand slash.

Chou Hissatsu Ougi: Hagane no Tamashii
In what can only be described as "Behemoth goes medieval on someone's ass".... Behemoth goes medieval on someone's ass. Mixing up regular blows with a blast or two of Steel Shooter, Behemoth headbutts the target away, plunging both arms into the ground and drawing up both the Iron Hammer and the Zantetsuken. Behemoth punches with the left hand, holding on as soon as the metal shards erupt, then lifts them up as best it can before slicing horizontally with the Zantetsuken, utterly devastating the intended target.

[Unit Abilities]

Iron Curtain
With a stomp of its giant foot, Behemoth can raise up a wall of metal in front of itself for added protection, though with its incredible bulk it barely finds a need for it.

[Terence Sharpton]

Contest is closed! There will be 3 winners since Nimbus said it would take around 1000 Credits to Mechdev Masouki of these level. As such, each winner will get 1000 Credits each for their own personal use, but if you do decide to dev it and somehow it goes beyond 1000 Credits, I will cover the difference with my own piddling savings.

RESULTS WILL BE POSTED SHORTLY. Like, after I watch TV.

[Terence Sharpton]

Well, I've read over all the entries and have chosen my winners! Blaine, Lone Wolf, and Nimbus each get 1000 Credits! Thanks to everyone who participated and I hope that even the losers submit their Masouki as well! In fact...uh, I guess I might be willing to pay for them too.

...Might.

But yeah, thanks for participating and expanding the SC's rather paltry lineup of Masouki units!
