ABILITIES & ARMS
ALEKSEI KASPAROV'S
ULTIMATE ABILITY
calm, collected & commandin'
NAME:
→ Ultimate Shield
TYPE:
→ Ultimate Ability
TIER:
→ Tier 1
METHOD:
→ Internal Philosopher's Stone.
VISUAL:
BRIEFING:
→ Greed's Ultimate Shield, whilst a homunculus ability, finds its basis in alchemy. Through the simple rearranging of the carbon atoms in his body, Aleksei is able to harden his body to become as tough as diamond and nigh-impenetrable, or he can loosen the atomic structure to cause it to become as weak as graphite. Unfortunately, being new to this entire thing, Aleksei can currently only utilise this with certain limitations.
Firstly, Aleksei can only change the structure of one limb at a time. At this point, this only covers his legs, arms, and head -- he can't change the structure of his torso, as it requires too much untrained concentration. However, these retain their weight, and his hands, much like the first iteration of Greed, do taper into claws.
Secondly, Aleksei cannot consciously trigger this ability. It happens of its own accord in times of strong emotion, when adrenaline is running riot through his bloodstream, and is highly volatile. Conversely, at times of extreme sadness or moments of bleak clarity and/or depression, Aleksei's body may take on a mind of its own once more and weaken his molecular structure.
Finally, use of this ability over an extended period of time will (at this level of experience with it) incapacitate Aleksei shortly after use, and may cause him to 'see red' in full.

EQUIPMENT
see ya later, innovator
TYPE: Assault Rifle
BRIEFING: The AK-12 is alone a sterling example of Drachman craftsmanship in weapons technology. One of the older models of its type, it is in standard use throughout Drachman and Xingese militaries. The Modular variant -- the variant Aleksei possesses -- is slightly different. Alongside his two underbarrel attachments, it comes with a plethora of rail, sight, and muzzle tweaks, and three different fire modes (semi-auto, fully-auto, and three-round-burst). Aleksei's gun is prefigured before missions into one of the five following loadouts.
Standard Loadout:
Sight: Reflex Sight (2x magnification)
Underbarrel: Laser Sight
Stock: Fixed
Barrel: Muzzle Brake
Clip: 30-round
Ammunition: Full Metal Jacket
Urban Loadout:
Sight: Iron Sights
Underbarrel: XM26
Stock: Folding
Barrel: --
Clip: 25-round
Ammunition: Jacketed Hollow Point
Danger Close Loadout:
Sight: ACOG Sight (4x magnification)
Underbarrel: GP34
Stock: Fixed
Barrel: Muzzle Brake
Clip: 90-round
Ammunition: Armor-Piercing
Stealth Loadout:
Sight: Iron Sights
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Stock: --
Barrel: Suppressor
Clip: 15-round
Ammunition: Subsonic
Marksman Loadout:
Sight: PSO-1 (8x magnification)
Underbarrel: Bipod
Stock: Extended
Barrel: Muzzle Brake
Clip: 20-round
Ammunition: Overpressure
TYPE: Pistol
BRIEFING: Chambered in .45 ACP with a ten-round magazine, the HK45 is the only sidearm that Aleksei uses. With a ready-threaded barrel to fit a suppressor, Aleksei's sidearm is less modular than his rifle, only fitted with either subsonic or hollow point rounds at any given moment, and only the former on stealth missions. It has saved his life when his AK has run dry more than he has cared to count, and taken almost as many lives as its larger counterpart.
TYPE: Underbarrel Grenade Launcher
BRIEFING: Fitted to the lower railing of his rifle when necessary, the GP-34 is the most recent variant of the original GP-25 caseless 40mm grenade launcher, developed in the late 1970s. Used in Drachman special operations for as long as most can remember, this versatile, muzzle-loading grenade launcher is tailored specifically to the AK-series of rifles. It's a single-shot weapon with a standard grenade launcher leaf sight that can be fired independently with a second trigger. Aleksei carries the following 40mm grenade types:
- High Explosive
- Flashbang
- Incendiary
- Smoke
- CS Gas
TYPE: Underbarrel Shotgun
BRIEFING: Much like the GP-34, the XM26 is -- for close-combat encounters -- fitted to the underbarrel rail of the AK-12M. It's a 5-round, bolt-action, magazine-loaded shotgun, the barrel of which sits completely parallel to that of the upper actual rifle. Though originally a Cretan design developed for the M4 series of rifles, the XM26 has been retroactively redeveloped over the past thirty years to work with certain AK-series models too. As it takes the versatile 12-gauge round, Aleksei can carry a handful of different ammunition type depending on what the situation might need.
- 00 Buck
- Slug
- Breaching Shot
- XREP
- Flechette
- "Bean Bag"
