KATAPHRAKT NAME
Name: Ortygia
Operator(s): Lowen Ainsbrough
Overall Height: (in meters)
Accommodations: (this is usually “Pilot only”, though you could include a passenger too)
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Kataphrakt is equipped with an Aldnoah Drive that allows for it to create clones of itself through quantum teleportation. This means that instead of being controlled by a single Kataphrakt, each one of them is a "real" Kataphrakt and is individually controlled by Lowen. Which means that it does not matter if the "original one" gets destroyed, it will just keep going as long as at least one of them survives.
Its main tactic is to keep multiplying till the enemy gets overwhelmed by its sheer numbers. Units destroyed can be replicated nearly instantly, often with the newly formed clone continuing the action of its predecessor, as demonstrated when it took three 'clones' for it to land a single leaping punch on a Terran Kataphrakt. The downside is that it has no ranged attacks at all and has to give up its durability in order to be fast enough to rush enemy positions. Along with this, unlike most Kataphrakts that have been fought previously, such as the Elysium or Electris, this Kataphrakt is susceptible to bullets.
Special Equipment & Features
- Aldnoah Drive - Quantum Cloning
Armament
- 2x Punching Gauntlets
- When not in use, these are stored behind its shoulders, allowing its hands to perform more delicate tasks. When needed, they get put over the arms and are used as melee weapons.
History
Ortygia is the Kataphrakt of the Ainsbrough Clan. Originally piloted by his father, the mech was eventually handed down to Lowen Ainsbrough after his ascension to the rank of Count among the Orbital Knights.
