What is an Energis?
Energis are a very rare type of reploid that are masters of controling energy. It takes a lot of concentration to do this and each energis has their own little quirks about how they can use energy. Some energis have been know to only be able to control certain types of energy and even some have been known to only be able to control specific types of matter that contain large amounts of energy (such as lava). Energis also tend to express other energy-based powers, usually unique to themselves.
Different types of Energis
There are very few energis to begin with, but there are some reploids that show abilities similar to energis, and there for they must be classified. A true energis has the ability to use an attack called 'Energis Ribbons' while other reploids that express similar powers to the energis, but lack this ability, are called half-energis, for lack of a better term. True energis are classified by the number of 'Ribbons' they create while using the attack. The minimum number of ribbons obtainable is 2 and the maxiumum is 5. Only one energis know, the proto-type, has the ability to control 5. Once an energis learns to use the attack, the number of ribbons they use becomes permanently fixed; no more, no less. Below is a listing of all the common quirks that all energis experience when using the ribbons.
- When using the Energis Ribbons, they need alot of concentration while forming them and shattering them to reabsorb the energy when they are done. This leaves several seconds at the beginning and the end of his attacking where they are defenceless. More experienced Energis can lower this time through practice.
- Some energy is lost when they shatter the Energis Ribbons when they are trying to reabsorb them. They are only able to reabsorb half of the energy they have left in the ribbons from attacking. More energy can be reabsorbed, but it takes much more concentration and longer time, and leaves them more open for attack.
- If an Energis takes a direct hit at any time he's using the Energis Ribbons, he looses his concentration, the ribbons, and nearly all of his energy and is usually helpless.
- When using the ribbons to defend, all shots are blocked, but when using them to attack, shots can be fired inbetween the ribbons (there are techniques that perform blocks and attack at the same time, but use alot of energy).
- While and Energis is able to move around while in defence mode, they are not usually able to dodge when attacking. Energis seemed to be ancored in place by their energy while attacking. Only the prototype has shown his abilites in contradiction to this.
- An energis's energy is volitile and cannot be stored within their own systems. They have a storage medium outside of their systems, usually a crystal or several on their outer armor or someother crystal-type storage medium which they draw their stored energy out of when attacking. If you destroy or separate them from their storage medium, they will not be able to use their energy.
- An energis is at dead center of the ribbons most of the time when it attacks, and is flooded with the energy. While and energis is immune to its own energy when in top condition, an injured energis cannot attack with the ribbons without damaging its own systems within the injured area.
History of the Energis
Many half-energis have been found in many dementions, but so far, the true-energis have been found in one specific demention. They were a secret project worked on by a team of 8 reploid specialists, pooling their knowledge. Nine energis were created in all, a proto-type and eight others, each having a different scientist that they considered a father, because that scientist performed most of the work on that specific one. They were all given one-part names after animals, and they all considered eachother brothers. Their proto-type was pernounced their oldest brother and was given leadership of the group. The scientists gave their creations the freedom to do as they pleased, and the energis settled down away from human activity.
The energis were peaceful, but they were looked down upon by the hunters. With the rise of the first maverick rebellion, the hunters assumed the energis were hostile and destroyed 7 of them and the youngest was severely injured. The proto-type, the only one to escape unscathed, was overcome by a fury with the death of his brothers and attacked the unit that had destroyed them. He restrained himself from killing any of them, but he left the commander permanently handicapped. He claimed neutrality and dissapeared from history until new energis began to rise up again. The severely injured energis was recorded in databanks as dying in route to MHHQ for questioning.
Hunters tried to find the scientist that were responsible for building the energis for questioning, but gave up half way through the first maverick rebellion. After the new energis began to pop up, a few of the scientist were found, but never bothered about the incident. They are as follows: Dr. Cain, Dr. Doppler, Dr. Kihten.
