The Swanframe Prosthetics
Physical Description
Create by Phineas I. Corwen , xxPriscilla’s Mechanical Legs are a pair of advanced prosthetic limbs crafted from white alloy and designed to resemble elegant Alsian physiology. Their silhouette is strikingly refined, tapering into pointed toes and incorporating an integrated stiletto-like heel. The limbs attach above the knee, extending to mid-thigh, where they lock into a garter-like biomechanical attachment slot installed on the wearer.
Though lightweight in construction, the legs are heavily protected by their white alloy outer shell. Beneath this Armor lies an alchemically reinforced Titanium support bar replacing the tibia, granting the limbs both resilience and structural stability. The knee joint itself has been replaced with a high-efficiency servo assembly, allowing for a far greater range of motion than a natural leg and enabling extreme angular movement.
The fibula is reimagined as a reinforced titanium blade running down the length of the lower leg to the heel. On command, this internal blade can extend outward, transforming into a 60 cm bladed weapon suitable for devastating close-quarters strikes.
In the current version, the lower leg and foot possess no fine servo articulation. Movement below the knee is instead assisted by a predetermined automated pacing motor, designed primarily to improve floor grip, balance, and stability during motion.
The Boosters
Concealed within the femoral housing above the patella is a compact induction booster system. This mechanism allows the wearer to expend cartridges of directed explosives to propel themselves with explosive force.
The booster is fed by a six-shot clip system, allowing for multiple rapid activations before requiring replacement. The clip can be swapped quickly and with minimal effort, enabling continued operation even in high-intensity situations.
These boosters can be used in several ways:
- to achieve bursts of extreme speed,
- to empower an extended-blade kicking attack,
- or to dramatically increase jumping distance or Daredevil
The result is a prosthetic system built not only for mobility, but for aggression, precision, and sudden, violent acceleration.
