Dragon Kings

The Dragon Kings are immensely powerful mecha that uses technology from the Advent Dimension. Dragon Kings are largely unique, and only a small number exist beyond the Advent Seal. However, they compose some of the strongest machines in the Web; Dragon Kings are potentially capable of fighting thousands of other armored vehicle and may be a match for Seraphim.

History

Dragon Kings were made using powerful magitechnology from Advent. The nature of the original Advene Dragon Kings is unknown, as the Advene Data Crystals that had schematics stored on them only included how to create the key systems needed to make a Dragon King. What little is known suggests that they were half-organic and half-mechanical in nature, and likely did not make use of combining multiple vehicles. However, the Dragon Kings that the Web knows showed up first in 41 WR, when the first and only one was constructed in a top secret agreement by officers of the Esper Union, Kingdom of Guardia, Scandian League, and Tasnican Republic under the advice of the Grand Army. This unit, Escandizer, was created as the centerpiece of the Justice Dragon Division.

For some time, Escandizer was believed to be the only Dragon King in the Web of Worlds. However, an incident in late 45 WR revealed that Dr. Merton, an independent rogue scientist, had found a data crystal meant to be used by Escandizer's pilot, Juste Mackenzie. From this, he constructed his own Dragon King, Ultramacio. Since then, there has been some concern that the technology to create Dragon Kings has spread beyond the Justice Dragon Division. This has yet to be confirmed.

One piece of information known about Dragon Kings is that Escandizer, which was named by Sivan Magnus, would be the 28th Dragon King. This suggests that twenty-seven Dragon Kings exist or have existed in Advent. By default, the 29th Dragon King would be Ultramacio.

Schematics

Dragon Kings revolve around a special variant of an Advene Data Crystal. This crystal is attuned to a single emotion; in the case of Escandizer, this emotion is courage. It then uses the pilot's emotion to fuel itself and further empower the crystal. This allows the Dragon King to perform, providing energy for basic locomotion, as well as energy for its attacks. The process to create these crystals involves high energy magical treatments to existing Advene Data Crystals. It should be noted that the Justice Dragon Division has hypothesized that the same treatment could be given to magilyte and Dreamstone, but this has not been tested yet.

Escandizer employed a technique not included in the data crystal that the JDD had in its possession. It employs a central crystal, and then four smaller ones that link it to the main crystal (which is held in Juste's mecha, Balmung). This allows the other four component vehicles to link up and form the Dragon King. This is non-traditional, and was only employed by Escandizer. If more Dragon Kings are made outside of Advent, however, these units may incorporate similar systems.

Dragon Kings are generally highly personalized, as they respond well to a specific emotion. Because of this, it is rare for a single Dragon King to have more than one pilot at any time. The machines tend to adapt to the needs and styles of their respective pilots.

The Ultimate Justice Glorious Dragon King Escandizer, to use its full title, is the 28th Dragon King. It was developed in 41 WR, using information stored on data crystals in the possession of its future pilot, Juste Mackenzie. The weapon serves as the center piece of the Justice Dragon Division. However, its power and size relative to technology deployed in the rest of the Web is overwhelming. Because of this, Escandizer is composed of five separate units. The central unit, Balmung, holds its crystal, while the others have smaller crystals that link to it. Furthermore, while Juste acts as the main pilot of Escandizer, the others can operate their respective subsystems to lessen his boredom. The vehicle is immense and exceedingly human-like; the face is crafted to look like a man's, and it appears to be wearing black armor with golden lining. The rest of the body is largely white, with some red lining here and there. Furthermore, it has a clear dragon motif, with a tail (from the Dracoform) and a dragon emblem on its head.

KN-01JDD Balmung

• Manufacturer: Justice Dragon Division Research and Development, Fort Locke Research Group
• User: Justice Dragon Division
• Height: 35 feet
• Fixed Armament:
  • Justice Beam Cannon (left forearm)
  • 25mm gravitic vulcan (chest)
  • 12mm gravitic machinegun (chest)
• Optional Armament:
  • KN handheld weaponry
• Pilot: Juste Mackenzie

Balmung is the centerpiece of Escandizer. It is fundamentally a modified KN Garrison, but the modifications are extensive. The paint job is entirely done in dark blues, with some golden lining. Furthermore, the head has a more human-like look; it appears to have a samurai helmet over a realistic-looking white face. Moreover, it is significantly faster, and has a powerful Advene energy cannon mounted in its left forearm.
