Datu-class Mark 4 Warskin (Updated Feb. 13 2025)


Components:

"Mutya" Anti-matter Reactors: uses one placed in the chest carapace, with two reserves on either hip. Excess energy can be transferred to the suit's arms and legs, to add an electric capability to Troy's hand-to-hand attacks or emit a bright flash of light to blind opponents. 
Automed System: grants Troy regenerative healing
Nanite Auto-Repair System: grants the suit self-repairing abilities
Nanocomposite Muscle System: enhances all of Troy's physical combat attributes, while it doubles as a pressure seal and protection from harmful external substances. Reverse-engineered from Thor's strength-enhancing belt Megingjord, and his gauntlets Jarngreipr. 
Target Lock-on: the suit physically orients itself (but not to the point it harms Troy) so his weapon is directly facing the target, even if they are fast and mobile
Integrated Thrusters: equipped on the suit's shoulders, back, sides, hips, legs, & feet, these thrusters greatly increases Troy's mobility and allows him to move in vacuum environments. Troy uses this to hover, slide, skate, and even fly his way around the battlefield and keep up with his much faster enemies and allies. Reverse-engineered from Hermes' winged boots Talaria.
"Kratonium Type-A" Armor Plating: an outer shell made from completely vibration absorbent material called Kratonium & reverse-engineered from the mythical armor of Achilles, Kavacha of Karna, and Thor's hammer Mjolnir, with added "kabal/kunat" type of "agimat" from Filipino sorcerers. Troy's particular suit plating was forged with the latest technology and added magical means, quenching the metal with enchanted fulgurite ("pangil ng kidlat" or "fang of lightning"), enchanted mud, and droplets of magical water from enchanted banana trees. This allows Troy withstand extremely powerful hits and feel no impact from attacks, high falls, or from crashing through walls and starship hulls like a bullet, without even losing momentum. It's nigh-indestructible to physical harm, but can be destroyed by supernatural or cosmic attacks. The armor plating is later engraved with "suyat" scripts/runes on the edges of each segment, enhancing his protection against magic.
"Baluti" Energy Shielding: a regenerative energy shield reverse-engineered from the mythical planet-wide shield Svalinn, the Aegis, and Sir Lancelot's Ring of Dispel, and various "tagabulag" and "tagaliwas" type of agimat from Filipino sorcery - this system emits alonite radiation around the suit, protecting Troy from supernatural influence, from simply magical attacks, mind-reading, to even reality altering phenomena. He can turn invisible and stop any projectile fired at him. He can also charge this up and emit it in a bubble-shaped burst to cancel out and negate any supernatural energies within range, effectively shutting down magical powers (temporarily) of his enemies but leaves him unprotected until the shield regenerates
Neural Link: the suit can read Troy's brainwaves, myopotential and synaptic responses without the need of a cybernetic implant to his nervous system. Connected to the artificial muscle layer, and his synthetic intelligence assistant, Troy can use the suit functions without any vocal command. This neural link system can also boost Troy's reaction time significantly, making him see things in slow motion.
Heads-up Display: shows information such as mission data, ammo count, supply and oxygen levels, and identification systems. Also plays movies and music, answer phone calls, and has high-speed internet access. This is enhanced by "tagosilangan" type of agimat charms that allows him to see the invisible, both cloaked and those occupying other dimensions.
"Suyat" Runic Inscriptions: magical writings in various traditional Filipino scripts, emblazoned on the edges of different segments of his armor plating, granting his suit a unique magical property that sets it apart from other War Skins that are purely technological. This improves durability to both physical and magical attacks.


Weaponry:

Troy has access to a multitude of weapons being the Archon's most relied-upon anti-supernatural agent. Weapons and equipment can be delivered to him via an experimental teleportation system as long as he is in Regency affiliated worlds. Outside of it, Troy relies on his favorite set of weapons that has become his trademark:

"Balantagi" Weapon System: Troy's signature self-assembling and transforming rifle held together by energy fields and made especially for close-quarters combat. It can fold itself within the suit's forearm unit for easy storage and reassemble within a second. It can adapt to various firing modes (rifle, cannon, and a third option that varies depending on the mission), firing ionized-particles that explode upon impact and can disintegrate physical targets down to the molecular level. The Suklam is the culmination of various mythological weapons combined with the essence of natural forces of the Philippine islands, mainly the lances Gae Bulg (gives the shots a limited homing capability for faster targets) with the fierce Amihan and Habagat monsoon winds, Gae Derg (gives the shots an anti-magic capability and can harm intangible targets) with the powerful volcanic forces of the country, and Gae Buidhe (counters regenerative healing of biological targets) fused with the essence of venom of various native Filipino animals. It is also imbued with "kaykay" type of spells, allowing it to bypass space manipulation based defenses and hit its target. The weapon has no muzzle flash, instead it warps the space around the muzzle, bending the light around it as it fires. It is prone to overheating if Troy doesn't control his shots.
"Buhawi" Grenades: an implosion grenade shaped like a small disk and launched from the armor's forearm unit, creating a miniature gravity field that sucks in anything within range. Troy uses this for especially faster targets. This is usually made with "pamako" type of agimat charms from Filipino sorcery.
"Parusa" Ginunting Nanoblade: Troy's oldest and most trusted weapon that has been with him from the beginning of his mage-hunting career. It's a machete-length weapon with a full s-shaped handguard and a forward-curving blade, strong enough to withstand and parry energy blades and block strikes from much stronger opponents. Created with the latest technology and added magical means, this blade was quenched in water blessed by a magic meteorite and venomous insects and arachnids. This Nanoblade weakens the molecular bonds of its target. This allows the blade to have tremendous cutting capability and be able to chop even ship hulls, giant robots, and the toughest alloys with enough force. Reverse-engineered from Moralltach. (Image)
"Hatol" Barong Combat Knife: a companion nanoblade weapon to the Parusa, often used in tandem with the longer blade as a parrying knife, or independently for quick and silent kills. Like with the Parusa, the Hatol is forged in the same manner as its longer counterpart. The Hatol's "barong" shape makes it better suited for stabbing, but its cutting power is not that less than its longer counterpart. Reverse-engineered from Fragarach, combined with "sumbalik" type of counter-spell. (Image)
→ "Bantay" Combat Drones: miniature Tatsulok-model drones that Troy can command mentally, usually stored within his suit. These wedge-shaped drones can assist Troy in providing suppressive and focused fire with their energy blasts, or generate a more powerful shield that can deflect and absorb energy from enemy attacks.

Default Color:

His armor can appear in different paint schemes, but the black and gold plates is the default.




Helmet optics can appear like four blue eye-slits instead of three dots on either side, depending on the environment. The shoulder pauldrons are of the black and gold Philippine eagle, corresponding with his rank of Commander. The armor has a matte black finish with radar absorbing paint that also doesn't reflect a lot of light, allowing him to blend into the darkness easier.
