Aeterna [Male Pyroar]: A Litleo presented to Cor in his extreme youth. He learned responsibility from a young age by having its care left entirely up to him, as is tradition for House Leonis. Over the decades, the Litleo grew with Cor, becoming a powerful and limber Pyroar exhibiting the stoic and proud loyalty that Eternal Lion knights are known for, which Cor himself exemplifies. It has a great deal of combat experience. Notable for wearing a black drape over its back with the Order Crest emblazoned across both sides. Aeterna greatly respects his trainer and the many years spent training and fighting together.
Image
Daito [Doublade]: A more recent addition, coming in at second to Aeterna's previously solo-makeup of Cor's team. Daito is effectively emotionless, and appreciates Cor's no-nonsense attitude. Having been defeated by Aeterna during its capture, the Doublade desires the same level of training so that it might find new heights of skill. In Cor's line of work, there is plenty of negativity and loosed souls for the Ghost Pokémon to feed on, making this a natural match between the two. It seems close to evolution.

Born to Enkidu and Ea Leonis, Cor was an original member of the head family of the Leonis House, rather than being inducted into it and being allowed to wear the name. The Caellux-operated breeding programs continued to churn out impressive individuals bar none, but Cor was something special even in that regard. His learning comprehension was years ahead of other children his age, and this showed with his early apprenticeship.

His official training began a full three years early, at the age of four. His soldiering lessons were started at five. Cor began training swordplay later that year and was proficient by eight. By twelve Cor had become notable in the sword, maintained all the bearing of a soldier, and had fully committed his lessons on loyalty into his core personality. During this training, it became apparent that the cultured genetics of the Leonis family had bloomed excellently within the young Cor, and his physical capabilities were the envy of his relatives, even threatening some of the less honorable adults. Even though he managed to absorb his lessons on nobility and politics, those sorts of internal issues he wisely stayed out of. Instead, his parents devoted themselves to clearing the way for his progress in that regard, politically parrying and outing the petty and the overly amibitious who did not want to see Cor's inevitable success.

Inevitable it was. By fifteen, Cor Edda Leonis joined the Crownguard ranks proper within his Home-Order of the Eternal Lions, the youngest full Knight in four hundred years. This feat quickly brought him to the attention of the Caellux family members, and even some squabbling as to who would be assigned the protection of the Order of Eternal Lions so that they might have the strength of such a prodigy to marvel at for themselves. Once again, issues that Cor himself tuned out, focused on his purpose and pushing the boundaries of skill and strength in order to fulfill that indoctrinated bond of loyalty which was the pride of every Knight - laying sword at the feet of Caellux who provided for them and their ancestors longer than many knew. As long as their efforts could keep the Caellux strong, then they would be just as immortal as the Caellux, generation after generation of Leonis cared for and raised with purpose. Cor was no different in this regard, except perhaps for the intensity of this obeisance, reminiscent of the samurai in the olden days of his homeland, a fierceness any could see in his face while wielding his blade.

Over the decades, Cor's accomplishments were many. Too many, in fact, to ignore. By twenty-four Cor succeeded his great uncle as Master of the House, becoming the Lord of House Leonis and Primarch of the Eternal Lions in one swoop, again the youngest in recent history. This caused a stir among the other Orders, and much scoffing of the puff-shirt noble dandies that clung on to their good name like flotation devices. This was something Cor had no time for, and aside from managing the affairs of his House and Order, and attending the more important or mandatory formal functions, few saw Lord Cor outside of the stately halls of the Citadel in Kanto. Instead, they were more likely to meet with Primarch Leonis on his way out to either secure or fulfill another protection contract for the Caellux, or in the rare case of a Knight House being required to sortie, quite literally always the first to respond to the call, as if eager to put he and his men to the flames, to temper and reforge the Eternal Lions into something greater than they were when he'd taken command.

His nearly superhuman feats were well-venerated and acknowledged among both Knights and common soldiery, as a Primarch should be - more of a banner than an example, an unreachable goal to strive towards in order to better oneself. Cor's stoic nature was popular among those who fought under the Lion crest, and inspired the rank and file just to see, causing no end of myths to sprout about his prowess - never knowing how many of those had actually been quite accurate to reality. This lack of political ambition and maneuvering served Cor Leonis well, even earning him the favor of the solar diarch of the House of Two Lights, who had returned once again to the living realm. As such, the ring of his greatest forefather was returned to House Leonis, a great honor bestowed upon him for his honesty, obedience, and unwavering loyalty (and utter lack of brown-nosing). With Regulus returned, Cor's abilities only continued to grow, and his veterancy was more fully bequeathed upon his Knights, eager to make his fighters more noble and more competent from the lessons he had learned on the battlefield.

Weapons_________________________________________________
└-Weapon and munitions.

Kotetsu: Cor's katana is the Symbol of Office for House Leonis. The Kotetsu functions as a scepter does for a king, showing the right to rule bequeathed upon him by the House's former leader. Having inherited the powerful weapon as part of his swearing in to the heights of peerage, it has been passed down for three hundred years of the six hundred year-long existence of the House and Order. Among the House Artifacts, it is notable for being the only one to have Oriental inspiration due to the House's Fortress-Hold being located in Kanto, and for not being the original Artifact of the House, which had no original offensive combat purpose. Though referred to in the Artifact Register as 'Kotetsu', this is an intentional misnomer, as the blade is one of the few swords made by famed eponymous smith Kotetsu in the old Kanto era. Its true name is known only to the Master of House Leonis, currently Cor himself.

The physical weapon is a work of art, both in smithing construction and its aesthetic engravings of cherry blossoms. The engravings are fluted in such a way as to fill with the blood of enemies cut by it, making them stand out starkly, and to easily discharge that blood with a flick of the blade for easy cleaning. It maintains its original form and has simply been strengthened and reinforced throughout the centuries as techniques, materials, and science grow. This blade cannot dull or rust, and the tsuka is a stylized roaring lion with ergonomic grip to prevent slippage and increase grip strength.

└─Artifact
Enhancements─┘ wrote:Lion's Roar: Based on [Velocity] and [Boomburst]. An iaido-form sword draw activated on the user's intent. The blade's standard Light-energy coating as an Artifact is vastly intensified as it flies from its sheath faster than the eye can follow, increasing the strength of the attack proportionately. This excess energy is launched from the blade along the path of its attack, creating a flying blade of energy maintaining the cutting power of the blade magnified by the energy attack's intensity. Those who, through whatever means, block or survive this incredibly powerful blade beam are stunned for one post from sudden force and the all-consuming sound of a lion's roar penetrating their ears.

Renzokuken: Based on [Sharpen] and [Echoed Voice]. For when singular iaido attacks are not the most tactically advantageous. When making continuous slashes, Kotetsu's attacks each become more devastating than the last. From one to another, each attack is half again as powerful as the one before it, resetting only when the user disrupts the flow of attacks.

Kikuichimonji: A wakizashi of impeccable craftsmanship, made in traditional style with modern construction elements and materials, and then reinforced through the engineering prowess of on-loan Techpriests. Aerodynamic and ridiculously sturdy, this blade can be used to parry almost anything the user's arm can withstand without taking damage, and can be thrown effortlessly.

Armor___________________________________________________
└-Armor, shielding, and wearables.

Queensglaive Mobility Uniform (Eternal Lion Variant) Personalized: Cor, and his knights, more often than not never make use of their bulky and powerful suits of highly-engineered plate armor. His House and Order are, in fact, quite notable for standing out due to this. As such they look more like an execution force than resplendent knights of ancient blood. The Queensglaive-pattern Mobility Uniform is an ebony bodysuit with fluid-collection channels to wick away sweat and then process it within the suit itself to provide cooling, and in an emergency - clean water. This takes place inside a number of chambers in the suit made of impact-absorbing material. Over top of this is worn a light trenchcoat with flexible graphene plates sewn in and overlapped with pads of impact gel between each. When struck, the plates become rigid just long enough to disperse the power of the strike and immediately become flexible once again, allowing for full mobility and decent protection. On the back of each is the Crest of the Eternal Lion in silver threading.
--Cor's personalized variant further shortens the trenchcoat into a smart-looking jacket with the same technology and engineering as the full coat. It offers less overall protection, but suits his combat style, allowing for wider movements that allow him to present the armored parts of his body to attackers simply by being in motion.

Regulus: The original Symbol of Office of House Leonis, a signet ring originally worn by Regulus Lucis Caellux himself, the Progenitor and Founder of House Leonis. Though retired, it remains with the Master of the House as both a family treasure, and the physical link back to the House's bloodline roots in the Caellux that they serve. The ring's shape is plain, but the materials appear to be swirled gold and onyx, separated by thin outlines of silver. The onyx, upon inspection, is merely cut perfectly to fit in the grooves of the set gold, but when observed as a whole it looks as though someone melted the gorgeous crystal and mixed it together with the gold and silver expertly. Set into the top is a small stone, a glittering gem with a carefully-cultured flaw in the middle, looking as though a star suspended in glass. That star would be Regulus, of Alpha Leonis.

└─Artifact
Enhancements─┘ wrote:Warp Strike: Based on [Flare Gun] and [Bestow]. A weapon held in the hand of the user with this ring on can be thrown, and then at any point during its departure from the hand, the user can teleport to the weapon, specifically to the point they are holding onto it with that same hand. If the user chooses to do this, the weapon's momentum will be their own, and will continue forward with that trajectory as if they themselves had been moving at that speed. While airborne, the weapon cannot be tracked by eyesight, hearing, or extrasensory perceptions, making the reappearance of the user a complete surprise.

Wall: Based on [Protect] and [Safeguard]. A projected forcefield of translucent light, can be directional or full-body, which prevents all damage and status for the round in which it is activated. While activated, the user cannot make use of Warp Strike. The field will absorb and negate the attacks upon it, though the relative strength of the absorbed attack(s) will impose a cooldown of one to five turns before it can be used again, in regards to how lethal the absorbed damage would have been to the user.
Technology______________________________________________
└-Poké-tech, electronics, and gadgetry.

Command Level Vox Relay: A communications suite, lightweight and portable, with a press-on mic next to the mouth and an earpiece for reception. With this device Cor can give orders to his knights as a whole, receive reports, or confer with squad leaders. Unobtrusive and sturdy, its quality of usage and transmission cannot be denied as a vital asset.

Auspex Tactical Suite: Satellite uplink map of the operational area, clearly showing his knights' positions and other units or places of interest, forearm-mounted. Basic Pokédex functions. Basic personal computer functions with programs to make organizing and planning strategy easier.
