Bio:
Pherin is a tall and spindly protogen, sporting a mohawk and long wispy antenna. He is an engineer by trade, creating equipment for both himself and commissioners. He takes pride in his work, each design being completely unique to it's user. His most recent work was a long-term project for himself: a set of boots and boosters which could provide both speed and attack strength in the battlefield.

His inspiration comes mostly from Maliwan's tech, even basing the logo on his equipment from their font.


The Equipment

Boots:
Meant for getting off the ground, using a copper-based energy flame, providing a strong hover effect with a blue ignition.

Upper Boosters:
These are the main source of speed, able to reach speeds up to 95mph on their own. Using a mixture of energy and solid fuel, and a nitro system, the upper propulsion is able to generate insane bursts of speed when needed, before maintaining a lesser but still very fast velocity. Like the boots, they also have a blue copper-based trail.

Lower Boosters:
These are used for control, providing more stability and improved handling when on the ground or in the air. With a purely energy-based fuel source, they have much less speed capabilities than their upper equivalents, however they make up for it in control. Like the boots, they have a blue copper-based trail.


Alternative Functions:

Double Swords:
The upper boosters can transform into a pair of energy blades, which are produced by the fuel source. When nitro is used, the swords become much more effective, able to cut through much stronger materials than before. Alternatively, they can be combined to create a broadsword. Holding these come at the price of speed, meaning the lower boosters have to take up the mantle, providing a speed of around 30mph, but improved maneuverability.

Double Pistols:
The lower boosters can be turned into a pair of burst-fire energy pistols, having an alternate mode with a better scope but semi-automatic fire. Due to Pherin's fascination with Maliwan, the pistols are able to swap between radioactive and corrosive damage. Since the upper boosters take the mantle of usage, high speeds are able to be reached, but at the price of maneuverability, meaning the user must be aware of their position and posture. Alternatively, they can be combined into a shotgun, which can shoot intense bursts of energy-rounds.

Sword & Pistol Combo:
The ideal form of weaponry, sporting a energy pistol and blade. The remaining lower and upper booster move to the center of the back, providing both speed and maneuverability in the battlefield. Due to having one central source however, a stray hit could create a lopsided effect, causing the user to lose stability.

Flight:
While the boosters were not intended for flight, it is possible with enough thrust and a ramp-like structure. It isn't particularly a form of maintained flight, more of a sustained glide.
