Tactics
Android 33’s form of combat can only be called violent. Rather than underhanded, it’s more apt to consider his tactics merciless. With an eternally cold expression, he instantly discovers the enemy’s weakness and immediately crushes it with all his force. There are no limits to what he will consider as an appropriate form of attack and he will not stop no matter how far he has gone. To completely crush your enemy in the quickest and most efficient way possible, so that there is no chance of future retaliation, is his motto. This is what he considers the true form of warfare.
His arsenal of weaponry and tactics include direct confrontation, guerilla tactics, espionage, and assassination, all of which he is instinctively a master of. His available weaponry includes a small collection of firearms of varying firepower, explosives, knives, and poison gas. Built into his body are a few mechanical weapons such as a finger gun, attachable gatling mount, and an elbow blade. He would normally utilize mustard gas as well, but it seems that his current commander draws the line there.
When all is said and done, however, Android 33’s true specialty is close quarters combat. His fighting style is a form of overly brutal wrestling, that is further reinforced by his magecraft. His expertise in grappling techniques is almost alarming. For most people, once he has gotten his hands on you, the battle may as well be over.
Magecraft
Being a homunculus, Android 33 has an instinctive knowledge of magecraft, but he is far from a master in terms of finesse and wisdom. He can operate his magic circuits and use simple spells, but cannot perform large scale rituals. However, considering his form of combat, simple effective spells are probably better for him than rituals that cannot be used in the heat of battle.
33’s form of magecraft lies in material transmutation, manifesting specifically in alteration and reinforcement. He is able to manipulate the properties of a material to some degree, reinforcing one of its properties or even giving it a new property. Due to his lack of expertise, though, he limits his spells to simple concepts, such as making himself stronger or turning his skin harder. Although that may not be an impressive form of magecraft, it is effective enough for 33’s purposes. When combined with his close combat fighting techniques, these simple spells can cause great effects. His signature spell is one where he alters the properties of something or someone he touches to make it incredibly brutal and then breaks it with pure brute force.
Windmill Generator
A special energy generator installed into Android 33 during his upgrade phase. It is a core that uses elemental conversion magecraft to turn the surrounding wind into magical energy for 33 to expend. As a physical combat-focused homunculus, 33’s magical circuits aren’t as high as they could be so the generator helps to remedy that problem. If he is fighting on an especially windy day, he will be able to use magecraft as freely as he pleases.
