DNW Legends
Appendix #6: Legendary Armor:
The Merrek Valor
The legend...
This "Glitter-boy" is with out question the oldest known legend of the Glitter boy. It was made in Victorian England by a family tied to the Knights old, the Merrek. The Armor would spend generations in the fight against the evils of humanity.
Where great villains and armies would rise, the Merrek would be found. Over the next 800 years it would pass through generations of the Merrek family. It would see service in most major world wars, the Golden Age in the Chaos following the Golden Age. The “Valor” in the golden age would be give the laser resistant armor, But the old weapon systems and internal systems would remain. The unit is powered by the life force of the pilot.
In times of need a pilot could direct all of his life force to destroy a single foe or achieve any single near impossible feat. It would be in this fashion many of the Merrek family would perish. When a pilot perished in this fashion His memories and Knowledge on how the Merrek Valor operated would be passed on to the Co-Pilot. This co-pilot was often a squire or family member to inherit the craft. The entire History of the craft, its pilots’ and the battles it has fought are known to each user.
The weapon system it originally used was a Punt gun, but it was destroyed in combat. Later other boom guns were used to replace them. Most were weaponry common to the time. In all cases it never ran out ammunition.
The Truth behind the Legends:
A brief history of:
The suit started out as a basic suit of armor. It was handed down for generations to Merrek’s and the Families tied to them by blood. Over the many years it gained fame for slaying a so-called demon in the Age of Knights, and later in the 1800’s after an upgrade by a Merrek who was an operator. The suit became a hero in a small town that was defended while the people evacuated. After this it was more a legend.
It reappeared again heavily modified, by the Merrek’s likely, to a prototype “Glitter boy” via a family affiliated with the Merrek’s. It would see action in many wars including WW1 and WW2. Patton himself would be saved by the “Bronze-Giant” that would only be seen by Patton and its pilot. It would never come out that the Merrek family had operated it.
(Foot Note: several members of the Team that made the Glitter boy would often tell the stories of this legend. And a few would have tangible links to the Merrek’s…)
The Bronze Giant reborn....
Its finest moment would be its last known. During the Cataclysm it sealed a rift leading the dimension ruled by Nyxxla. An act not recorded by most histories, but one did. The Defenders of Psyscape and all her allies would remember.
Oddly, it is rumored another Pilot used the Merrek effect when he imprisoned a dark god...but like the Valor, past that was only a legend. It was believed the Pilot was a blood relation to original family.
The Merrek Legacy Today:
The Merrek Valor made its way to Psyscape and took a place in a square when the city first appeared. The people of Psyscape buried the unknown pilot with all the honors they could bestow.
Today, the city of Psyscape has this Glitter in its main court where Psi-warriors are trained. It serves as an example of what kind of difference just one person can make. Many Pyscapers believe the legend and that the Merrek bloodline is alive.
Many have sought to activate the ancient suit. But to date no one has.
Known Powers:
-regeneration 2D4 MDC per turn and cannot be destroyed
-broken apart it will reassemble itself in 1d4x2 minutes
-Always has ammunition (recharges 2d4x10 Rounds per minute)
-Defeat any single evil/threat or achieve any effect. The person must do so out necessity and truly be needed sacrificed. (This is a GM's call on what can be achieved.)
Limitation:
This Glitter boy needs a Member of the Merrek bloodline to operate. And if that blood line ceases the craft becomes a bronze statue.
