Description: The Bracelets of Submission are a unique pair of armbands bestowed only to the most worthy and powerful of warriors. The bracelets, created by the patron Hephaestus from remnants of the legendary Shield of Aegis, are were designed to both empower the user's defensive capabilities, while providing additional offensive capabilities. Thanks to their source being one of the most powerful shields in legend, the bracelets have notable abilities. Due the quality of Hephaestus' forging, each of the bracelets are completely immune to damage, but a single powerful attack (F-Rank) will shatter the bracelets.
Aegis’ Protection — The most obvious capability of the bracelets are to defend from incoming attacks. Whether it be matter or energy based, the bracelets will protect the user by blocking attacks as well as resisting dangerous things like extreme temperatures or shock. This makes it ideal for easily blocking small attacks such as from kunai, or swords. Interestingly, the bracelets can defend from much larger attacks too. By crossing the bracelets together, they can actually form an ethereal chakra shroud of the original shield of Aegis. This extends as a protective wall or chakra shroud around the user's form when blocking from larger attacks and collateral damage. Physical attacks can only be deflected, never redirected back at an enemy. Energy-based attacks are momentarily absorbed but released a moment later in raw form, though it can be expelled out directionally. Defense up to S-Rank or 80 Damage Points (Refer to Notes)
Victory Force — A sort of offensive application of the bracelet’s incredible defensive capabilities. Using the super-durable material against itself, the bracelets can create a golden concussive force when struck against one another. The force can be either omnidirectional as a sphere that emanates from the user up to mid-range or as a forward facing wave that can reach up to long-range. The attack is on par with elemental chakra. This is not ninjutsu, but rather high level Tai/Buki jutsu that creates an incredible physical wave. Offense up to S-Rank or 80 Damage Points (Refer to Notes)
The Pantheon’s Armory — From the bracelets, the user can passively expel weapons. While drawing it out, the weapons as raw chakra. When fully expelled, it takes on a physical, tangible form. As they are formed from the chakra, they can combat and interact with any chakra-based attacks, whether matter or energy, though they are still as strong as ordinary weapons. However, it can not combat ethereal attacks like spirits or pure natural energy. Only a single weapon can be drawn from the bracelets at a time and per turn, and keeping said weapon in possession takes away constant energy.
Berserker Rage — The most dangerous function of the weapon. Despite it’s already impressive defensive capabilities, the user is actually at their strongest without the weapon. The bracelets act as inhibitors that normally restrain chakra flow in a confined space. However, the removal of the bracelets results in the inhibitors being lifted, forcibly flooding out all the stored chakra back to the user. This results in an surge of chakra that forcibly places the user in a "Bersker Rage". As a result, all other abilities of the bracelets are lost completely. On top of that, the user's chakra flow intensifies, increasing their attacks by a factor of +20 Damage Points, but the state constantly drains 40 chakra points per turn. What's worse is that, even with exceptional chakra control, a user can not manage to maintain a sane states and their sense of reason becomes slowly lost, resulting in more brute and less strategic attacks, basically forcing a constant head-on approach until the job is done. The drain in energy also completely leaves the bracelets inert for the remainder of the battle.
