Description

I've referred to the Whiskertons as the "Combat Kittens" before and that's not just a cute nickname - the three are actually soldiers, even if they don't look like it. They make up the 588th Armored Division of the Last Legion, and are very unique compared to other Legion Special Forces units. Being descendants of Rowena Branchclaw, a Catkin sorceress from the Dark Times, they all possess a small degree of magical power. It's not enough to cast big, world-breaking spells like a battle mage, but it's enough to fuel and power a war frame, a magically-augmented suit of battle armor. Each of the three has their own suit with its own equipment, weapons, and magical capabilities for different roles in the field. However, this great power comes with a cost; overuse of their suits' magical reactors causes severe overheating, which could lead to a catastrophic explosion if they aren't careful.

Mew's armor is designed for rapid shock assaults, and as such is the only frame capable of limited flight; a pair of thrusters integrated into her suit's power plant enables her to make short jumps across the battlefield for closing the distance with a foe, or for slowing her descent if she opts to jump from an airship. The wheels of her suit are designed with this aerial mobility in mind, incorporating a system of springs and shock absorbers for taking the brunt of her hard landings and enabling her to keep moving after hitting the ground. Her mask is also designed with this "shock assault" idea in mind - the skull shape is intended to inspire fear in enemy soldiers and demoralize them. For weaponry, Mew has a pair of short-ranged grenade launchers incorporated into the gloves of her suit. These weapons can either fire explosive shrapnel rounds for clearing packed enemy battalions, or solid slug rounds for cracking armored targets. If she ever runs out of ammo, her gloves are lined with metal studs, letting her use them as hydraulically-boosted knuckledusters in an emergency.
