- Mercury Flash:
- Trait Name: Mercury Flash
Trait Tier: B Tier
Trait Requirement: Have Sirrush and Constantine
Trait Description: As a result of Constantine’s skill from being a Furghoul, Sirrush has been given some major alterations, upgrading her from Furcas’ previous specs.
Trait Effect: Zubaidah may register Sirrush as a B Tier beast, but she cannot register any Beast Tamer abilities (unless she takes the class). She may take Sirrush into any thread without taking a class weapon slot if she wishes, functioning as if a mundane item instead. If Constantine is taken into a thread in weapon form or if his plot trait, A Devoted Friend, is activated during a thread, Sirrush may enter that thread without counting towards item or weapon slots, even if not otherwise inside.
- Sirrush:
Name: Sirrush the Silver-Haired Mare
Tier: B Tier
Type: Normal / Dungeon Mount
Magic Type: Metal Magic [Strength + Lightning]
Species: Furcas’ Golem
Appearance: A strange metallic horse that shoots out shrapnel at such a force to prepare itself through the air and ground at great speeds. With the beast originally having wheels for hind-legs, Zubaidah theorised that it was at one point a child's riding horse. After the events of Murmurr, she has realised that it was a birthday gift made by Joab and Furcas for the young Sparrow. With her modifications under Constantine, Sirrush now stands at a height of a large horse, around 220 cm, with a rather wide body of about 65 cm, save her hind-legs which have been modelled into jet engine-like additions about 80cm wide.
Beast Traits:
Trait Name: Warrior’s Throne
Trait Tier: D Tier
Trait Requirement: Golem Physiology, Constantine’s Furghoul
Trait Description: Due to Constantine’s skill as a Furghoul, he has enough ability and familiarity with Furcas’ golems to alter Sirrush’ body. In particular, after altering his own body, he has realised that he can combine metal-based magic tools with metallic golems, essentially transferring the magic circle to Furcas’ golem. He has done this with Nabu’s Gift, fusing it with this golem, and essentially turning Sirrush into the artefact itself.
Trait Effect: If Sirrush is taken into a thread, Nabu’s Gift will be taken into the thread as well. If Zubaidah takes another artefact into the thread, however, Nabu’s Gift may not be activated until that artefact has been stowed away, i.e. not activated and not in her active equipment. When inactive, Zubaidah may ride Sirrush without impediment. But when active, Zubaidah will be encased in Nabu’s Gift. Sirrush’s form will automatically revert while transformed via Mercurial Temperament if Zubaidah feeds magoi into Nabu’s Gift.
Trait Name: Light Metal
Trait Tier: C Tier
Trait Requirement: Golem Physiology, Constantine’s Furghoul
Trait Description: As one of Furcas’s golems, Sirrush has an unstable physiology which transitions between various metals. In order to maintain her form, Sirrush sheds any excess metals as a curious substance, nicknamed ‘Quicksilver’ by Constantine, which she may expend to increase the output of her jet engines or expand her density and dimensions for heavier blows.
Trait Effect: Sirrush will shed one instance of Quicksilver per post. If Zubaidah uses a stamina-based ability involving Sirrush, i.e. when ridden, when transmuted or when using a specific Sirrush-involved ability, an instance of Quicksilver may be used as a substitute for 5 stamina. She may not use Quicksilver to reduce the cost of an ability by more than half its original cost.
Trait Name: Mercurial Temperament
Trait Tier: C Tier
Trait Requirement: Golem Physiology, Constantine’s Furghoul
Trait Description: Due to her instability and malleability, Sirrush has an increased capacity to transform into different forms, more than other Furcas’ golems. Since she was built as a magic construct which would adapt to Sparrow’s likings, who Zubaidah resembles, Sirrush has decided to utilise her curious physiology to transform into whatever Zubaidah needs.
Trait Effect: Sirrush may transmute herself into forms better-suited for Zubaidah for up to two posts, but the form taken cannot exceed her dimensions. A few examples would be a pole for her pole-dancing abilities, a sheath for her spear or a set of thigh-high boots for better movement, and Sirrush will retain her traits even while transformed. Zubaidah may also register Warrior and Assassins abilities involving these transformations.
Trait Name: Metallic Shell
Trait Tier: C Tier
Trait Requirement: Golem Physiology, Constantine’s Furghoul, Light Metal
Trait Description: As one of Furcas’ golems, being the product of the original users of Metal magic in Alma Torran, Sirrush has a unique affinity with Metal spells. In particular, her metallic physiology has such a mixture of different metals that she can attract and combine most metals onto her form.
Trait Effect: If someone casts a Metal spell within thirty metres of her, or a similar metal-based effect is utilised, Sirrush will galvanise the surrounding metal into a defensive layer of item durability equal to the spell or ability tier, which may stack up to C Tier. After two posts, this layer will deionise and fall away.
Trait Name: Jet Engine
Trait Tier: A Tier
Trait Requirement: Golem Physiology, Constantine’s Furghoul, Light Metal
Trait Description: Sirrush has been created with an unusual mechanism like a jet engine where her hind-legs would be, if she were a normal horse. This mechanism utilises excess metals, namely Quicksilver, to be mechanically digested and shot outwards to allow serious speeds on land and in the air.
Trait Effect: Sirrush is capable of flying or hovering with the help of a start-up jump at B Tier speeds. She may produce one extra instance of Quicksilver per post by lowering the amount of metal consumed by the Jet Engine trait, decreasing her speed to C Tier for one post. On the converse, she may also increase her speed to A Tier for one post by consuming an instance of Quicksilver.
