+Hope you join up, i don't want to start a thread until i have half the PCs set up.
-Artillery Knights have a basic repetoire of abilities, further focused by materia.
-Black Type
-:This magic ranges from personal fireballs to lightning strikes, it is offensive magic that focuses on attacking the enemy.
-::Cost: 6 Materia, or 4 Black Materia
-White Type
-:Curative, defensive and support, White Types focus on supporting their accompanying armies and allies.
-::Cost: 6 Materia, or 4 Black Materia
-Mystic Type
-:These focus on using their magical abilities to support themselves as classical melee warriors, wading into battle with huge swords or axes that can cleave tanks in half.
-::Cost: 6 Materia, or 4 Black Materia
-====Avatar Knight====
-All Aspects have an Avatar, the physical manifestation of their crystal. Avatar Knights take this further, focusing it into intricate technomagical equipment, featuring advanced power armour and an array of weaponry, the higher level Aspects equip themselves virtually in battlesuits, wielding incredible forces of destruction.
-Infiltrator Type
-:Focusing their avatar into a advanced technomagic stealth suit, this type are stealthy, nimble and deadly.
-::Cost: 6 Materia, or 4 Red Materia
-Vanguard Type
-:Decked out in technomagical gear, including power armour and armed with an array of materialised weaponry, this type rule the battlefield.
-::Cost: 6 Materia, or 4 Red Materia
-Assault Type
-:A supportive type, these aspects provide sheer firepower, focusing on attacking heavier equipment and vehicles.
-::Cost: 6 Materia, or 4 Red Materia
-==== Esper Knights ====
-Masters of material projection, these channelers create magitech servants to fight for them, to support them, or to carry them into battle.Esper Knights’ conjured creatures are build with a series of traits, similar to how Mutants are built. Each Knight creates one summoned being, or eidolon, but they may have several ‘modes’ or Forms it can transform into. More experienced Knights have stronger Eidolons, who in turn have more Forms. Forms are often distinct in capacity, allowing an Eidolon tactical flexibility around a core body of traits.
-If an Eidolon is killed, the trauma to the Knight is considerable, but the entity can be resummoned after its conjuror’s energies have replenished. With a tremendous effort of will, a Knight can even ‘resurrect’ their Eidolon mid-battle, though this is extremely dangerous, especially for inexperienced Knights.
-:Uses Mutations from the Beast list, as well as some unique traits (possibly)
-:Can manifest 1 Form at 1st level, increased at increments (TBD)
-::Cost: 6 materia, or 4 blue materia
-==== Monster Knights ====
-These warriors rely on their protean flesh in combat, manifesting strange and horrifying biotech devices from their materia-saturated flesh. A Monster Knight is built much in the same way as an Esper Knight’s eidolons are built, except that these traits apply to the Knight itself, not some conjured creature.
-Unlike Eidolons, Monster Knights manifest individual Mutations in any combination they want, depending on situation. Many are extremely resilient and have natural healing factors (if only because their flesh folds and rearranges itself to seal the wounds), but have a higher risk of mental problems due to their literally constant-shifting worldview.
-:Uses Mutations from the Beast list, as well as some unique traits (possibly)
-:Can manifest individual mutations for energy cost (TBD)
-::Cost: 6 materia, or 4 green materia
-==Military==
-===Foot Soldiers===
-====Units====
-'''Guerillas Batallion'''<br>
-:Guerillas are soldiers who have learned, whether by training or brutal evolutionary pressures, how to fight unconventionally, moving light and striking hard. With their skillset in living off the land, scavenging equipment, and stealthy operation, guerillas are critical to winning unconventional wars. Dependent on the type of manpower and equipment given, these can be anything from ragtag tribal militias to extremely elite special forces.
-"The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea."
-Mao Zedong
-::Training Cost: 5 Wealth
-::Upkeep Cost: 0 Wealth
-::Cargo Points: 1000
-'''Infantry Battalion'''<br>
-:Standard infantrymen are better armed and equipped but conversely are less stealthy and require a larger logistics trail. Ranging from poorly trained conscripts to elite direct-action assault forces, infantrymen are a solid backbone upon which the entire army builds. After all, the end goal of most ground operations is to capture enemy assets instead of merely rendering them unusable-there are orbital strikes and nuclear weapons for that. Even though they might be equipped with powered armor and use smart weapons, even with their UAV and UGV support, their role and their tactics are still eminently recognizable.
-"The infantry doesn't change. We're the only arm of the military where the weapon is the man himself."
-Maj Gen C. T. Shortis
