AIR GEAR
Air Gear
In Air Gear, every Storm Rider
places an emphasis on a certain aspect of their "Run", which
determines their "Type". Over time, the Rider's Run develops
into a characteristic style and repertoire of tricks, which is termed as their
"Road". Riders who master a Road to a high degree are called
"King-level" riders, and King-level riders who possess their
Road's "Regalia" are called "Kings".
Regalia are special Air Treck parts
specifically engineered to use the air to work in conjunction with the King's
Road; this is referred to as an "Infinity Atmosphere". There
are 8 Regalia in total, each of which represents one of the 8 major Roads.
Regalia are a double-edged sword: Deploying one gives a huge power boost, but
puts a huge strain on the user; a King can only use a Regalia a limited number
of times before both their bodies and the Regalia give out. If the King doesn't
have a "Tuner" to optimize the Regalia, it will become
uncontrollable and the King will sustain terrible injury. There is a separate
class of Regalia called "Subregalia", which are degraded
copies of the 8 originals.
The first Road introduced, it is
said to be the "purest" and closest to the sky. Wind Road is broken
down into several levels:
- The rider runs a low pressure current by breaking the
barrier front. The rider may also be able to dissipate impact forces
throughout their body, greatly reducing injury.
- The second element is "Gravity Control", or
the shifting of one's centre of gravity in order to extend the height and
distance of jumps.
- The third element is "Wings", a phenomenon
which takes an existing tailwind and adds the user's own wind to it.
- The fourth principle is the rider's ability to see and
predict the wind and differential pressure via scattering light.
- The final principle is "Catching Moon Drops",
or interfacing with the air. The rider interfaces with and creates a
surface of air via differential pressure. This principle is needed to use
the Wind Regalia properly.
Wind
Regalia: Moonstruck Drop Bagram
is the Regalia of the Wing Road. It is the back wheels of an A·T with the words
"Welcome To NightMare" scribbled on them. Bagram can make an A·T
anywhere from a dozen to several hundred times more efficient at using the air,
allowing a Run truly comparable to flight. When activating Bagram, the wheels
split into spiralling sections. Deploying Bagram by feeding wind into the core
causes the skull emblem to glow, and the wheels unfurl into wings. Further
adding wind causes Bagram to deploy fully, in which its wings run lengthwise
along the A·T to resemble talons.
The Wing Road also has the most variations namely the Gale,
Hurricane and Jade Roads. But where the Gale is a variation of the Wind Road
focusing on strength and aggressiveness rather then speed. The Jade
and Hurricane Roads are evolved versions of the Wind Road
fused with other roads. The Jade Road is created by combining the Wind with the
Gaia Road while Hurricane Road is a fusion of Wing and Over Roads
The Flame Road is similar to the
Wing Road in that both Wind and Fire are said to be "free". There are
several principles to the Flame Road:
- The first is the generation of heat via friction. This
can bend light, create updrafts, and create illusions using heat mirages.
This ability to create heat is especially useful against the Rising Road;
a sufficiently skilled Flame Road rider can nullify all but the strongest
Rising Road techniques with their flames.
- The second is the use of fast and precise attacks to
freeze the movement of their victims. These tricks are collectively
referred to as "Time".
Flames are the "template"
for each and every run.
The Flame
Regalia uses all four wheels, with the back
wheels decorated with a Kitsune. When activated, the wheels run to produce
torrents of flames. Flame Regalia has a cyberairspace called Lon Houtz Bourne
Street that is linked to every A-Ts memory data. This enables the Flame King to
tap into the tricks of other riders using the activated Flame Regalia.
The Apollon Road is a refination of the Flame Road which
both Time and Flame are used simultaneously.
Nicknamed "fang" because
of its "slice" characteristic, the Bloody Road is literally carved
into the flesh of one's adversary. "Slice" describes the practice of
abrupt acceleration and deceleration (0-Max-0) to gain inertial energy, which
exerts tremendous pressure on the thigh muscles. Getting hit by a "fang"
is described by Ikki as "felt like something exploded in front of my
body". Bloody Road riders also use chains and hooks to bind their
opponent. One of the Bloody Road's underlying themes is imprisonment; a number
of Fang Kings have likened their road to being in jail. This attitude even
manifests itself in the road's Infinity Atmosphere on more than one occasion.
The Fang
Regalia: Bloody Armor is the
Fang Regalia of Bloody Road. It comprises all 4 wheels of an A·T, and its core
mechanism converts inertial energy into a shockwave, although its very presence
in the narrow space of the wheel robs the A·T of the ability to jump. When
deployed, the wheels split into a sawblade shape.
Gazelle the first generation Thorn Queen was the first
person who tried combine the Bloody and Sonia Roads after she was defeated by
the Takeuchi brothers by combining her own trick with that of Falco, the first
Fang King. Years later the Brain
Charger Lind who has the personality and
abilities of Gazelle, combines the Fang of the Bloody Road with Thorn of the
Sonia Road creating a hybrid combination between Sonia Road's flexibility and
Bloody Road's sharpness and destructive power.
Sonia Road users are defensive
experts. It is the opposite of the Bloody Road, in that it shreds the user's
body instead of the enemy's; its current Queen, Ringo Noyamano, goes so far as
to refer to this aspect of the road as 'torture'. The Sonia Road constantly
burdens the users body with high pressure, which is why the Sonia Road can
reach its full potential at areas of high pressure. Storm Riders who follow
this road have a natural advantage against the Wing Road and Gaia Road,
according to Kilik of Sleeping Forest. The principles of the Road are as
follows:
- The hip are the axis and the base point for all moves
instead of the knee. This improves maneuverability by moving the
rotational axis closer to the centre of gravity.
- Supersaturation of the bloodstream with nitrogen
through hyperventilation, which is used to form cushioning bubbles at
joints.
Regalia: Although the whereabouts of the original Thorn Regalia are
currently unknown, when Sora first approached him about the possibility of
adding a normal human rider to the team, Kilik mentioned that the original
Thorn Regalia had belonged to a Gravity Child known as Gazelle. After Sora
stole it's core from Gazelle (killing herself in the process) he inplanted it
in Noyamano Rika, the previous Thorn Queen.
The Thorn
Subregalia: Thorn Reaper is a pair of back wheels. When deployed, it disassembles
into a superconducting whip with a forked end. The fork allows the whip to cut
through the air, creating small sonic booms called "Thorns". Combined
with Sonia Road's wide area of acceleration, Thorn Reaper can attack in many
directions at once although its not as strong as Fangs. Thorn Reaper is a
Subregalia, and has recently been redesigned by Kilik. The output's been increased by 25%, the material was
changed, and it's become more efficient at energy recovery via an attenuation
mechanism. The new Subregalia's core is no longer a whip. Instead the area of
the back wheels is a 'fork' shaped heel which creates the same
"Thorns" that the whips did while depending more on kicking power.
Rising Road specializes in the
offensive applications of electric and magnetic energy. It converts kinetic
energy from the Rider's run into an electromagnetic field, enabling a skilled
Storm Rider to create illusions and manipulate electricity for their own
benefit. Ultimately, however, the Road's greatest strength lies in numbers, as
demonstrated by Thunder King Nue and his team Black Crow. By applying illusions
directly onto teammates, riders can create monsters actually capable of
striking their enemies. Moreover, by using teammates to magnify the scale of
his Infinity Atmosphere, Nue can create a giant formation of ice and lightning
that easily pushes back an entire team of A-rank Storm Riders.
The Thunder
Regalia is a full body suit capable of
destroying an entire town. The rotation of this regalia generates electricity,
and it becomes even stronger when conducted through special piano wires, based
on Fleming's theory. It can create a strong magnetic force, attracting metal
objects. It can also create electromagnetic waves that make people see
illusions. Its core is a pair of dynamos capable of generating electricity and
storing it in battery reels. When deployed, these battery reels undergo
Roulette Wave Expansion and unreel massive amounts of cables through which
current is dispensed.
The Over Road's principle lies in
the windmill theory - it compresses wind to form walls of air. Its strength
grows with the strength of the wind it faces, as a strong wind can be
compressed even further. The Hurricane Road is a fusion of the Wing and Over
Roads; it combines both tricks and philosophies of both roads and incorporates
the design of both original regalia.
Rumble Regalia: Ram Jet is the Regalia of the Over Road. Its core is a turbine
chamber into which air is forced, compressed and heated into supercritical
fluid, increasing its destructive capabilities. The Regalia has two distinct
iterations: The original was a boombox-shaped piece of equipment that attached
to the user's arms upon activation. It depended of the user's strength and when
deployed, the attachments transform into claw-like appendages. The second
iteration is completely integrated the core into an A·T. When deployed, the
wheels split apart to reveal nozzles, increasing air intake. The wheels themselves
act as the turbines. The Regalia's core was used to supply the missing material
required for the Storm Regalia and while its inclusion enhanced the original
capacity of the Storm Regalia it is a necessity in the Storm Regalia's
schematics.
There are two known sub-regalia:
- The sub-regalia currently belonging to Genesis
is installed within Authur's
chest, taking the place of his internal organs. It acts in a similar way
to the original, however the visibal turbines, which are installed where
Authur's lungs should be, take in air, increase the power and speed and
release out of the side opposite to where the air went in, (As seen when
he takes Agito's reflected "Fang" head on and then sends it out
of his back). The Sub-Regalia is so powerful that it able to increase the
power of Agito's already refected fang, and send it back at him with
enough power to kill him, had Agito not countered.
- The sub-regalia which belongs to Nina of Sleeping Forest takes the form of an enormous mechanized battle suit.
Uniquely, it is operated by a rider hidden inside, who is hooked up to the
sub-regalia through various wires. It seems that, like Arthur's
sub-regalia, it is at least somewhat integrated with Nina's body; this is
hinted at when she comments about the days when she used to "walk on
the ground." The sub-regalia's turbines are located in the shoulders
and have enough power to easily block machine gun fire.
A Road that specializes in
interactions with the ground. Riders of the Gaia Road are shown to focus on
immobilizing their enemies and damaging their A-Ts, limiting their ability to
ride. This is reflected both in its Infinity Atmosphere and in the philosophies
of its riders. Riders of the Gaia Road are also able to memorize the shape of
the land, allowing them to locate other riders. Its principles are:
- Using the piezoelectric effect, riders can paralyze
opponents by numbing them.
- Creating seismic waves to create a 'Sonar' that reveals
information about the opponents.
- Creating vibrations to levitate objects and induce
seismic activity.
The core of the Gem
Regalia: Hardest Apostolica
is a 'wheel' attached to the front of an A·T via a swivel arm. When deployed,
the arm swivels to the back wheel. The Core attaches to the wheel and
"blossoms" into a transduction device that digs into the ground,
essentially immobilizing the user for the duration the Regalia is deployed.
The Jade Road is a variant of the Gaia Road formed by fusing
it with the Wing Road.
The only Road that is primarily
non-offensive, the Ring Road is a supportive road that consists of Link Tuners
- mechanics who fix and tune other riders to their A·Ts. Not all Ring Road
users can actually ride A·Ts. Ring Road focuses on sound - every rider and A·T
has a rhythm. The Link Tuners match the rhythm of the A·T to it's rider's,
increasing performance. A person with the potential for Ring Road will know the
exact time without reference.
Tools: Link Tuners tend to carry an arsenal of tools and parts for
fixing and tuning A·T or other machinery. Some modify their bodies in order to
fit more tools, or increase productivity. When directly interfacing with a
king, link tuners use special suits called "SC". The SC is skin
tight, elastic, and translucent, containing 7600 sensors within its fabric.
Tuners also can carry a small machine that resembles a stenographer's
typewriters. This machine allows them to monitor and retune regalia on the fly.
A select few Storm Riders are shown
to use the aural properties of the Ring Road in an offensive manner. Examples
include Kanon of Tool
Toul To , who uses a guitar mechanism to
create blades of sound; as well as Merlin of Genesis , who can produce cutting sound waves with her long
fingernails. Even Kururu
, a person with no battle experience, shows the ability to detune and destroy
AT based technology using her Infinity
Atmosphere, Infinite Scale .
The Pledge
Regalia is a metallic cross, roughly the
size of a human. When deployed, the cross splits into a ring of 8 thinner,
numbered sections intercrossed by a maze of wiring, each with a set of
headphones which other Tuners can put on. Standing in the middle of the
formation, the Pledge Queen synchronizes herself with these tuners, essentially
granting her abilities to them for the duration of the Regalia's activation.
However, this process is extremely exhausting to the tuners involved.
Gabishi's
road is unnamed; he carves it on the faces of his opponents.
The Horn
Subregalia: Hatch Venom is the
front portion of the A·T it is equipped on. It appears as skulls adorning the
front of both A·Ts. The Regalia operates by converting the energy produced by
the wheels during high-speed braking into heat, which is kicked outward as a
"shell" of compressed, heated air, then kicked again to produce a
laser-straight current of molten wind. Hatch Venom is likely the degraded form
of Bloody Armor.
Lather
Road
Lather Road operates by sealing air
into water to create explosive bubbles. The ability to ride in bodies of water
is likely related.
The Water
Subregalia are the wheels of the A·T, and
resemble rain tires. It operates by vibrating at high speed creating
superpressured bubbles that rotate with great intensity and burst with immense
force. The Regalia can also be used to resonate with the water inside of a target's
body to cause further damage. The bubbles can also be used for communication.
The Regalia's weakness is that it is only usable when the user's back is facing
the opponent, which creates an opening for attack.
Unique to Gawain, the riders A·T is fitted with interconnected blades
capable of piercing flesh and machines easily.
Unique to Onigiri, the Smell Road specializes in using body excretions to
hinder opponents. It also has the ability to break down or reverse the Roads of
female Storm Riders through Onigiri's perversions, as demonstrated by his
ability to break through the illusions of the Rising Road and his negation of
Mimasaka Ryo's Gaia Road.
The Hurricane Road is a fusion of
the Wing and Over Roads; it combines both tricks and philosophies of both roads
and incorporates the design of both original regalia (this has yet to be stated
in the manga). The current (and only) known rider of this road is Itsuki
"Ikki" Minami, the
Storm King.
The Storm
Regalia of Hurricane Road incorporates
designs from both the Wind
Regalia and the Rumble
Regalia, as well as the latter regalia's
original core. It was completed by the Pledge Queen Kururu Sumeragi, but during
a battle while trying to get it to Ikki the regalia was damaged. Later, after
beating Nue, Ikki got the Thunder Regalia's Core to repair the damaged Storm
Regalia. After Nike's defeat Ikki is also given the Core's of the Fang, Gem and
Flame Regalia's by Agito, Simca and Kazu.
A road created by combining the Wind
with the Gaia Road. Not much is known about this Road but it seems to give a
philosophy of control over land and sky {mastery of the Wind and and Gaia Road}
Its sole user is Nike.
A road created by Mikan Noyamono. It
appears to be a variation of the Wing Road that focuses primarily on Mikan's
strength and aggressiveness, rather than the speed-based Road favored by other
Wind Kings..
