Overview: Kaoru is a no-bullshit guy. You know what you're getting with him. He seems very cold and aggressive, but also has a bit of a kind spot for those he's closer to. Really not much more to say.
Name: Dark Green Buster.
Type of Hero: Dark Buster.
Henshin Device: Dark Brace
Henshin Sequence: A simple turn of the dial and press of the button initiates the armor sequence, materializing all of it bar the goggles, which then snap in.
Forms:
Name: Power Mode.
Details: The suit's default mode, all user stats are increased, able to use the faster speed, stronger arm power, higher jump power, underwater fighting ability and movement, and exceptional hearing (able to block out the last one at will) of the other Busters.
Picture: Dark Red suit, just in Green.
Color scheme: Green and black.
Fighting style: One that kills - especially when it comes to cutting flesh.
Weapons: 2x Dark Blade - (The one that's seen in the photos)
Dark Sniper - three modes, naginata mode, long-range heavy sniper mode, short-medium range sniper mode.
Dark Blaster - Assault Carbine, configurable with varied attachments.
Special Mission Compartments - hidden on the arms and waist, they hide a number of different systems. The most notable, are a mini missile launcher system on one side, a flamethrower on the other, and twin parachutes for super high drops. The ones on the waist also unfurl two powerful grappling hooks, that can be used, along with jets on its back, to move in 3D while holding the Dark Blades, in addition to the other systems. Without the grappling hooks, the jets make it flight capable.
Name: Stealth Mode (Cloak)
Details: taps into the suit's secondary power source to run a stealth field that turns the user invisible. When the mode runs out of energy, the cloak deactivates, and the secondary power system recharges. Good for stealth takedowns.
Name: Maximum Armor.
Details: The suit's secondary power source reinforces the integrity of the suit, making it more impervious to conventional munitions, tank rounds, machine guns, and even anti-monster and silver bullets. When the mode runs out of energy, the armor deactivates and the secondary power system recharges.
Name: Drive Suit Mode
Details: Turning the dial twice and activating it will perform a Dive In Teleport to the Conn-Pod of Striker Azure, where the operators then secure themselves. Once secured, the Local Command and Control initiates the Meldrift neural handshake while the Striker is enroute via 8 - 12 Jumphawk class helicopters, specially developed for mecha delivery. Transit time varies based on the situation and the urgency of it.
Finishers: Power Kick, a simple brutal kick by merging the primary and secondary feeds into a single conduit.
Power Punch, a simple, brutal punch that can bend most material..
Double Recon Slash - executed in 3D and otherwise. Depending on the enemy being faced, the blades may expand to three times their normal length. Powerful enough to wound a Kaiju.
Dark Lance - The Sniper's finisher, either a high powered rifle shot or double energy strike with either end of the naginata.
Shadow Hurricane - Empties the large clip of the Dark Blaster, along with the rockets and flamethrowers of his suit, in a brutal non flashy example of the Macross Missile Massacre.
Other Equipment:
- Flare Guns: They carry one on their person when out of suit.
- They have access to XDI's arsenal of vehicles, vans, cars, bikes and even a helicopter or two.
- License to Act: In Kaiju or monster related matters, they hold seniority and the ability to do whatever it takes.
History
His past is shrouded in mystery, he doesn't talk about it, he doesn't care to talk about it. But he was born in Japan, lost his parents at a young age, and grew colder as he went on. He jumped on an early opportunity to join XDI, and lived out the rest of his teenage years in training and schooling. From there, he's helped test pilot a lot of things, and remains one of the most loyal members of the team.
His major accomplishment was analyzation of historical logs, and the suggestion that their Dark Blades employ special technology. When linked up with the grappling hooks and jets from the suit, they can grow up to Buster Sword size, and phase through about 2 - 4 feet of someone's body. Or in this case, a Kaiju's neck. It cuts through the spine, and goes out the other side. Depending on the material, the swords can do it the old fashioned way, or phase through things like metal to snap the neck of the Kaiju, more often than not killing it on the spot. R and D is working on granting a low level version of this to the normal sized blades.
