Character Analysis: Copen Kamizono

 

Background

Copen is the son of a famous scientist whose research detailed the dangerous threat that adepts pose to society. To honor his father’s dying wish, Copen sought to eradicate all Adepts from the world, believing them to be a threat that will eventually turn against humanity. 


Unfortunately, Copen would fail in his crusade to prevent an Adept takeover. Over a century later, Adepts would begin to rise in numbers over the years, and most of humanity would be wiped out by them, save for a select few known as Minos. After the Adept takeover, Copen would wander the Earth for years searching for the elusive “Butterfly Effect” (a device used to enhance Adepts) and save the Minos he ran into along the way.


Lola

Lola is a self-aware battle support robot designed to regulate the control of Copen’s personal array of combat drones, also known as bits. Because of this, she thinks of herself as Copen’s official guardian.

Armor

White Tiger Jacket

A specialized mobility jacket Copen designed for combat. It allows Copen to fly and can utilize stored electrical energy called bullits. While certain moves can drain Copen’s bullits, his bullits will automatically refill over time. This armor also has two forms it can switch between; the Break Shift form and the Bullit Shift form. The Break Shift form is stronger and primarily used for ground combat while the Bullit Shift form is faster and primarily used for air combat.


Resistances

Copen specifically designed his armor to be resistant to the powers of Septimas. Because of this, Copen is resistant to the following haxes:




Weapons and Equipment

Divider

Copen’s primary firearm in Luminous Avenger IX. Based on Jota’s Septima “lightspeed”, it fires photons that move at the speed of light.


Razor Wheel

A modified blaster rifle that focuses on close range firepower. With his Break Shift form, Copen’s Razor Wheel manifests as a saw blade. With his Bullit Shift form, Copen fires rapid-fire homing razors. After downloading the program for the Grave Pillar’s teleporter, Copen can use the Razor Wheel to travel to different universes.

Flashfield

Lola creates a barrier to protect Copen from missile-type attacks. The Flashfield is an automatic shield that will remain active until Copen uses an EX Weapon.


EX Weapon Mirroring System

After defeating an enemy adept, Lola can analyze their Septima with her Septima Scanning system and create a mock version in the form of EX Weapons. The following are a list of EX Weapons Copen obtained throughout the Luminous Avenger iX’s timeline.


  • Stellar Spark: Unleashes a rotating stream of lightning bolts. When a target is tagged, Lola’s P-Bits will home in on it to provide a direct shock, creating a Flashfield-like structure around it.

  • Anchor Nexus: Envelops enemies in a thread of energy, holding them helpless as Copen unleashes a piercing tackle attack.

  • Photon Detonator: Fires balls of light that explode on contact.

  • Orbital Edge: Launches high-density bladed discs that rotate around Copen.

  • Shroud Spear: Fires spears made of a special cloth. Any enemies hit by the spear will be momentarily restrained. 

  • Muse’s Kiss: Fires energy projectiles shaped like Lola.

  • Rising Cyclone: Summons a tornado of spiral energy that extends above and beneath Copen. The tornado lifts Copen upward and can be used as a mid-air jump.

  • Ichor Hunter: Fires water bullets that bind enemies, encasing them in water blocks.

  • Idol Trigger: Triggers Lola’s Idol Mode, which powers up Copen (More on this Transformations)

  • Whirling Chopper: Uses propellers to fly upwards and attack enemies.

  • Doomsday Charge: A high-powered flame burst that can be charged.

  • Optic Barrier: Fires a ring of lasers in 4 directions. This can be used as a shield.

  • Gatling Blitz: Fires a gatling gun.

  • Rolling Ripper: Attacks with 4 boomerangs in quick succession.

  • Cyro-Flash: Slows time in the area around Copen. The Ouroboros System iX subroutine gives this weapon infinite energy.


Skills and Abilities

Prevasion

By turning his body into electricity, Copen becomes intangible to evade almost any attack. This move consumes Copen’s bullits.

Reloading

While Copen’s bullits automatically refill over time, Copen can instantly reload at any time.


Bullit Dash

Copen consumes a segment of his “Bullit” gauge to perform a high-speed aerial dash. The trajectory of the Bullit Dash can be changed up or down. It can also bounce off walls. Enemies can also be marked with the aerial Bullit Dash. Copen can only use this dash while in his Bullit-Shift form.


Recoil Dash

A super-powered grounded dash. It’s capable of sending enemies and obstacles flying. Copen can only use this move while in his Break-Shift form.


Lock-On

When Copen makes contact with a target during a dash, he will mark it. This marking will curve his ammunition directly into the target with perfect accuracy. This can be used in conjunction with both the Divider and Razor Wheel.


Hovering

Copen can hover for a short time after a Bullit Dash.


Hyper Guard

When standing still on the ground, all damage received is reduced to 1.


Twin Shredder

A special skill where Copen, Lola, and their bits rapidly slice through everything in their immediate surroundings.


CoLoSSaL Maelstrom

A special skill where Copen, Lola, and their bits rapidly slice through everything in their immediate surroundings. Functionally, this skill is the same as the Twin Shredder, but now Lola will activate her Darkness Trigger (More on this Transformations).


Transformations

Idol Mode

Lola will transform into this mode when Copen’s “Kudos” score breaks 1000 points. While Lola is in this mode, Copen will have access to powered-up versions of his abilities called “Overdrive (OD) Abilities.”


Overdrive (OD) abilities:

  • OD Auto-Recover: Continuously restores HP during Overdrive.

  • OD Guard Up: Halves damage taken when Overdrive is in effect.

  • Limit Break: Razor Wheel’s attack power increases while in Overdrive.

  • OD Sharp Nail: Twin Shredder’s power increases while in Overdrive.

  • ApeX Drive: CoLoSSaL Maelstrom’s power increases while in Overdrive.

  • Infinity Trigger: EX Weapons do not consume energy in Overdrive. 

  • OD Icarus Wing: Copen has unlimited Bullits in Overdrive.


Darkness Trigger

Lola will transform into this mode when utilizing the power of a lightning septima. This makes her go berserk, overriding her system and pushing all of her specs to their utmost capabilities. While in Darkness Mode, she gives Copen unlimited energy for all of his EX Weapons. However, Copen will only be able to attack enemies he is locked-on to, and he will continuously take damage whenever he is not locked-on to an enemy. Furthermore, since Lola is completely berserk, she will be unable to provide any navigational assistance. 


Healing Mode

Lola will transform into this mode to fully restore Copen’s health. It can be used at any time, anywhere, and at no cost, meaning that she can heal Copen as many times as she needs to. 


Awakening Mode

When Copen’s HP reaches 0, Lola’s “Anthem” ability will trigger and transform her into this mode. While in Awakened Mode, Lola will revive Copen with the power of song and fully restore his HP. Copen will also be able to freely perform his Bullit Dash and use his Overdrive abilities, even if he doesn’t have 1000 Kudos points.


Feats

Overall

  • Protected Minos from other Adepts for years

  • Fought and defeated many Adepts for over a century

  • Found and stopped the Butterfly Effect

  • Defeated the Sumeragi Institute for Human Evolution’s leader, Demerzel

  • Defeated Blaster Master Zero’s mutants and obtained Roddy’s Blaster Rifle

  • Defeated Mother, The Creator, and their Workers

  • Defeated Kohaku Otori, Yang Yumo, Jason Frudnick, Kurona, and Kirin 


Strength


Speed


Durability 


Weaknesses

Because Copen’s Prevasion turns him into electricity, one can bypass his intangibility with electric based attacks. Moves that can turn someone into stone, like Elise’s Gorgon Gaze, can bypass Prevasion as well. Using Prevasion and Bullit Dash will drain Copen’s bullits. If he were to run out of bullits, Copen would be unable to use these moves until they recharge (although, it should be noted that Copen can bypass this with Overdrive and Anthem, as both give him infinite bullits).

Bass , the sworn rival of Mega Man. Defeat is something that many people do not enjoy but there’s a lot to learn from it when it occurs. In the case of Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily, the countless defeats against their sworn blue enemies led to one common thought. The best way to defeat someone is to replicate them, which led to the creation of their finest works. Mimicking the abilities of both Sonic and Mega Man respectively, these two are filled with the drive and tenacity to do whatever it takes to take down the hero, even if it means rebelling against the creator from time to time. Armed to the teeth with a wide arsenal, will Bass kneel before the Overlord or is Metal Sonic gonna be another junk robot in Bass’ path of being the strongest? Before We Start… So, you migh...
