Description

Commissioned from :iconjohnbecaro:

Okay, since a few of my peers from :iconangel-fallsda: have allready seen this piece I will be submitting it to af as an example of what Robin's armour looks like for the benefit of the whole of the AF community, complete with some extra info here on how her armour technique behaves.

Of course this is just one interpretation of her armour, another interpretation and one this was partially based on was this: [link] personally I think they both have their merits, the colour scheme on the one in the link seems marginally better to me and really communicates it's nature as ice and water, this one is more streamlined but you could mistake it for metal and some material.

The nature of Robin's armour and weapon is actually pretty adaptable, explaining why different versions do look so radically different, she can shift the form of both to provide different weapons or defences from the armour and techniques from the spear at a moment's notice, or seperate parts of it from the whole to attack with using other techniques.

It also allows her to move faster and strike harder than she normally would be able to since it's her power moving her with this armour rather than her own nerves and muscles doing the work, so she essentially reactes with the speed of thought and strikes with the force of her power channeled into a physical strike, it can also keep her standing when she's greviously wounded as it acts like a more flexible full-body cast.

The downside is of course that it's a drain on her powers to sustain something so precise that does so much for her, so she can't sustain it for long periods of time, if she tries to overextend it's use, she will become drained from it, which would leave her vulnerable.

Her primary weapon's choice as a spear is due to it's adaptivity, particularly when she changes it's form (eg to a whip) mid-kata, also it's the weapon type she's most comfortable with, it's also due to the fact that it's a simple form to create quickly in a fioght but one that can be refined to a perfect balence if she has the time.
