The Men Who Stand Amongst the Stars
Apollo 11
Anti-Unit(Self): B
Range: Self
Max Number of Targets: 1
A conceptual Noble Phantasm that provides a very physical defense. Apollo 11 is the very suit that Neil wears, the crystallization of the program having taken the place of the space suit he wore in life. It is a constantly active Phantasm that confers two abilities on its owner, although a third is kind of existent due to a quirk of Neil’s views affecting its manifestation.
Its first effect is the act of bolstering Neil’s parameters to those shown. Due to Neil being from the modern age and having limited physical feats, he would usually have physical parameters that reflect that, being incredibly low for one of his classes. However, this phantasm replaces those stats with that of the spacecraft he used to move through space, giving him great strength and endurance, and heightened agility, although not as high as it could be as it confers the stats of the craft whilst near the moon. If this were ever to be lost, the affected stats would become what they used to be, a scattering of D and E ranks. It also grants Neil a form of flight, through use of the ship's thrusters to create lift.
Its second ability is its greater strength. Making physical the distance between the earth and moon as a barrier around the suit, Neil achieves a near immunity from purely physical attacks. Although, it doesn't break down this simply. To be exact, the barrier makes it so an attack must be able to reach the moon to reach him, which greatly hinders physical strikes, as they would have to achieve the ability to exit the atmosphere and retain enough energy to do damage by the time they reach him. Energy attacks are also weakened, but nowhere near as much, since as energy they can easily move through the distance, with maybe a ranks worth of energy loss.
However, this barrier is not without its weaknesses. Conceptual attacks that target Neil can easily bypass it, as its defence is purely physical. Therefore, an attack like Gae Bulg's heart seeking thrust would be unaffected, whereas its anti-army mode would be nullified. It also displays this impotence in the face of space-time warping effects. Furthermore, a work around to the physical nullification exists, as while he is immune to strikes, using maneuvers like throws still works, as the barrier will stop him from hitting the ground, but not the damage of being rapidly accelerated and decelerated. For example, punching him would do nothing, whereas throwing him would work. And finally, the armor is only semi effective against environmental effects, as while being submerged in lava or freezing cold would not be immediately effective, with enough exposure over a time, it would eventually reach him and take effect.
It is to be noted that the barrier exists only where the suit is covering, so if, for example, Neil were to take his helmet off, his head would not have the protective effect of the barrier until he puts it back on.
Finally, the third ability has no real effect, but it is notable. This turns the inside of his suit, that being the inside area between the outer and inner layers and not inside as in where Neil's body is, into a pocket dimension. Whilst this pocket dimension gives no benefits, it does contain the phantoms of all those who worked on the Apollo 11 mission as entities similar to the spirit crewman of anthropomorphized ships shown in a certain series. These phantoms take a number of forms, such as normal humans in spacesuits for the other astronauts, mechanical beings for the engineers, data spirits for the NASA control team, and various alien forms for the scientists. All have the proportions of a funko pop unless they chose to appear differently.
This is developed thanks to Neil’s mind set that his accomplishments are not his alone, but that of all that contributed to it. So, why should only he have the glory as a heroic spirit?
So… fairies. After all we've seen with those fucks, you still call them… fairies.
Hey! Hey hey hey, hey! (Yeah! It’s creepy being referred to by the same name, especially after the fight with that fucking Gatekeper!)
Oi, don't gang up on me! They're just so similar to the little crew of the kanmusu!
I thought you were a space Otaku!
Rabbit holes are rabbit holes!
Hey! Hey! (And you’ve watched all of Azur Lane, why?)
Shut up Buzz!
Extension Into the Final Frontier
Star Spangled Spear
Anti-Fortress: A+
Range: 1~70
Max Number of Targets: 450
The weapon that represents the flag placed on the moon by Neil in life, and the Phantasm that qualifies him for this class. Its composition uses the original flap as its bases, and so possesses a trait of extension connected to the flag's status as symbolising the extension of humanity's common sense, and builds upon it by crystallising the environment that has affected it for decades. This means the bulk of the spear is made of electromagnetic radiation, which carries a portion of the power of the light of the tower at the ends of the world, and space dust, or grain. Due to this, the spear gives off an odd visual effect of producing an ethereal glow, with brighter points of stardust.
This grants upon the spear a very useful trait, even when its true name is not released. This trait is a scaling damage output the greater one's separation of humanity's common sense, or mystery, and stardust. However, it does this in different ways. With mystery, the light gains more power, imbuing the spear with a greater ability to pierce. In contrast, the grain interacts with divinity the same way matter and antimatter does. Destructively, with a great amount of energy given out all the while.
By partially releasing the Phantasm, Neil can bring its property of extension to the surface. This can be used to cause things it is connected to to lance out at where the spear is pointing. Lancer mainly uses this to extend his barrier into a pillar that violently pushes things away, piercing through things with a low durability, and pushing back those with high durability.
Yet, this is not the true use of the Phantasm. Its true name release requires planting the spear into the ground and turning the extension property inwards. Doing so has a small delay, before the light and grain erupt outwards, annihilating everything within its spherical range of effect. All the while still having its anti-mystery and anti-divinity effects.
Why is it that spear?
Well, all my respect to the Saint of Orleans, but I'm already at a disadvantage with a lance, I'm not taking an even bigger one by wielding a flag. Plus, it's used to being surrounded by space stuff, so it was easy to use that to form a more useful weapon. I'm optimistic, not
Yes, I get that! But why use that spear?!
Oh. Don't worry about it!
But-
I said, don't. Worry. About. It.
