So for Cinder, we got Leraje, who is a demon that can cause great battles and disputes along with the fact it can cause gangrene wounds caused by arrows, sound familiar?
Another 2 chapters again.
I do not own anything except for the custom version of this suit.
ASW-G-14 Gundam Leraje
Appearance
-Base Form: Based off of the Early Badd Gundam from the Gundam Beast fan series, the double V-fins can move inside the head for concealment, the eyes glow amber with a black visor covering it and the sides of the head mount 76mm CIWS. Around the body are amber lines that all lead to the cockpit. The chest mounts a pair 6-tube Flashbang missile launchers, a pair of 3-tube large laser guided scatter missile launchers underneath, and Dust crystal bombs in the middle. The shoulders have side vents along with small floating ball cameras that fly out of the shoulder from the top. Both arms mount a Dust shield generator on the side that creates a circular shield, the palms have generators for Fire Dust manipulation, and hidden blades inside the arms. The front and back part of the waist have exhaust vents pointing downwards with twin-linked railguns on the side waists. The legs remain mostly the same, but with the feet being able to clamp down like claws with the toes being able to turn downwards with their new sharper versions along with a nail gun inside of the legs that shoot down through the feet. The back uses a backpack that includes the 2 pairs of wing blades, but was remodeled to look like European Seaxs and have the ability to combine each pair into a bow to shoot arrows from quivers located inside the backpack that pop out when the unit is grabbing an arrow. The backpack is also equipped with a pair of 3-tube "Sonic" missile launchers on the sides, a row of 4 90mm gatling guns on top, a tail unit connected through the back and is armed with a 48-tube micro missile launcher on top, a multi-purpose mine launcher on the bottom, a pair of 90mm gatling guns near the rear, and the ability to actually disconnect from the unit and be used a flying platform. Color is blood red with black outlines.
-"Burst" Form: The black visor changes its color to red as the amber eyes glow brighter, the amber lines around the body all glow, and the wings on the back form a X-shape as around the suit are the same circles used by Cinder when using Dust.
-"Primal" Form: The visor comes off as the unit's eyes glow blood red and the mouth opening up to reveal set of razor sharp fang-like teeth, the hands on the unit were given sharp nails, the wing blades on the back have their backs opened up to reveal a set of boosters with a Dust generator that runs along the cutting edge of the blade, and the unit releases a greyish ash like substance into the surrounding that can be toxic to people and Grimm alike and can distort MS vision and can rust Nano-Laminate armor.
-MA Form: Takes the appearance of a Archaeopteryx, the chest moves up to become the head as the real head is moved to the middle with three claws on each side of the body, facing forward. The tail unit cannot be connected while in this form due to the legs being in the way and the backpack will not detach when in this form.
-Walker Mode: The MA has its legs moving downwards to ground level and the arms are revealed from the sides of body. The arms and legs are free to move all while retaining parts of its MS and MA form and unlike the MA form, the tail unit can be connected.
Armaments
-Fire Dust Manipulators: Mounted on the palms of the unit, this allows Cinder to use Fire Dust to a certain extent. She can create timed explosions, a blast that can destroy any projectiles, or create a shield that can stop projectiles. It is noted that the amber outlines around the unit's body will light up when she uses this ability; it also noted that her attacks emit a high-pitched whistling sound.
-Metal Blades: 2 pairs of them are mounted on the back of the unit and were remodeled to look like European Seaxs. Originally known as "Tetraphid" Swords, they were heavily modified with different abilities and modes. The first mode is the regular sword mode that is broad and has multiple cutting edges and must be made from a form of light metal if it were to be used in a duel wielding configuration and when the unit is in "Primal" mode, the fronts of the blade gain a Dust generator that runs along the cutting edge that allows Cinder to use different types of Dust based attacks with the sword. The second mode takes the form of a bow that uses 2 of the wing blades to create a bow with the string being generated by Gravity Dust while the arrows are reinforced steel arrows with several types of payloads that can be swapped out like explosive or a special type of tipped arrow that can rust the armor of mobile suits. The third and final form of this weapon is that 2 of the blades can combine, but in a form of giant scissors with the other sides of the blade being used instead of the cutting sides. The weapon was meant for crushing MS armor with shear force, not by cutting, so it does have a delay in taking out MS, but is effective for using the victim as a human shield.
-76mm CIWS: Mounted on the sides of the head, they work similar to the 75mm CIWS in shooting down lightly armored targets, but they fire the bullets at a faster rate.
-Fangs: Only seen when the unit enters "Primal" mode, they are coated with Nano-Laminate, meaning the suit can actually tear apart mobile suits if needed.
-6-Tube Flashbang Launchers: Mounted on the upper part of the chest, it releases a very bright light that can temporarily stun the enemy pilot's vision if looking right at it. The missiles are unguided and most likely to detonate right in front of the shooter if not set at a timer.
-3-Tube Large Laser-Guided Scatter Missile Launcher: Located underneath the Flashbang launchers, they use a lower intensity laser which is harmless to MS and people to guide a large missile that will release smaller missiles to catch enemies off guard.
-Dust Crystal Bombs: Located in the middle of the chest, it uses a grenade loaded with several types of Dust Crystals to create powerful explosion that can damage Nano-Laminated armor, however, it can be loaded with one type of Dust Crystal for maximum effect.
-Hidden Blades: (Work like the Alexander hidden blades from Code Geass: Akito the Exiled.) Located inside the arms, they are considered to be one of the best Anti-MS Melee weapons due to concealment and the piercing power. The blade is made from the same metals used in Valkyrja blades and the tip of the blade is coated with Nano-Laminate to increase piercing power.
-Twin-Linked Railguns: Mounted on the side waists while it is banned due to the Warrior King Treaty it does fire conventional warheads, making it in the grey areas in terms of the treaty. The weapon uses Electric Dust to fire the projectile and there are some chances where the target will be stunned for a few seconds due to some specks of Electric Dust getting on the projectile.
-Feet Claws: An upgrade to the feet of the unit, it can clamp down on targets to either capture them or destroy them by sheer force.
-Nail Gun: Located inside the legs, they fire reinforced steel nails at their targets downwards either when the claws clamp down on a target or kicking. The nails have a special feature that helps increase piercing by having the nail that is on a MS be hit by another nail that helps push it down to damage the MS.
-3-Tube "Sonic" Missile Launchers: Mounted on the sides of the backpack, they release a high pitch sound wave that can bounce projectiles back, disorient human or MS vision, or hurt Faunus ears.
-90mm Gatling Guns: A row of 4 are mounted on top of the backpack and on the rear of the tail unit, they are very effective for suppressing fire or wearing down Nano-Laminated armor due to how many bullets are flying out of this weapon. Used as the main weapon when unit is in MA form and for shooting down incoming missiles.
-48-Tube Micro Missile Launcher: Located on top of the tail unit, it fires smaller missiles that are hard to hit in exchange for damage.
-Multi-Purpose Mine Launcher: Located on the bottom of the tail unit, these mines be used on the ground, air, or water thanks to Gravity Dust and when triggered, it can leave a dent in MS armor.
-Ash: Only seen when the unit is in "Primal" form, this ash covers the surrounding area and is proven to be toxic to people and Grimm alike with the ability to disorient MS vision and rust Nano-Laminated armor.
Special Equipment and Features
-Ahab Dust Reactor: The main power source the unit, it uses the newfound Ahab Dust to generate an unlimited amount of energy. The reactor will give off Ahab particles, which can be used for artificial gravity and inertial control, removing the needs for a Gravity Dust generator. However, it is noted that the Ahab particles also give off Ahab waves, which can disrupt radio waves, communications, and guided weapons. The 4 kingdoms forbid the use of these reactors in the cities as it would disable the entire city. It is noted that all reactors generate their unique frequency, allowing for easy identification. Leraje is equipped with a third reactor on the back to help conceal the true identity of the suit.
-Nano-Laminate Armor: The main protection for all mobile suits, it uses the Ahab particles and waves generated by their own power source to give them the protection. Most range weapons are fairly useless against them as it only shaves small pieces of it. However, melee weapons are the main weakness of this armor and also while it can shrug off range weapons, if the armor takes too many shots from range weapons, the armor will break down and leave the suit open for attack. It is noted that Nano-Laminate Armor is usually painted on, allowing for quick repairs and different colored paints can be added on for the right price, but it is unknown if the different paint will change the performance of the suit. Noted that all forms of energy-based attacks are ineffective against this armor.
-"Aura" Nano-Laminate Armor: A variant of the Nano-Laminate Armor, it uses a special generator that connects to a person's Aura if unlocked and it acts as a second layer should the Nano-Laminate Armor be breached. However, the downside for this armor is that it takes more Aura than regular to create the field.
-Half-Metal Chassis: A special type of material that is used widely on mobile suits and warships that use Ahab Dust Reactors, it resists the jamming effects of the reactors and if large amounts are used, it can prevent the reactor from being detected.
-"Primal" Carnage System: Installed onto every Gundam Frame during the Calamity War, the exact reason why this system was installed is unknown, but is theorized that it was meant to destroy the Mobile Armors. The activation requirements are unknown; however an extreme sense of bloodlust can trigger it, making the unit enter a state of rage. The pilot will lose all sense of humanity and begin to attack any friend or foe nearby with extreme prejudice. The unit's head would reveal a set of sharp teeth with glowing blood red eyes. The only possible way to stop the unit's rampage is to either disable the suit or pilot or just straight up destroy it. Leraje releases a greyish-like ash in the surrounding area that can be toxic to people and Grimm alike with it also being able to rust Nano-Laminated armor and disorient MS vision.
-Gundam Leraje's Operating System: While the Gundam Frame's OS are the same as regular MS OSs, they do have unique security systems. When picking a new pilot for Leraje, the system will prompt a message saying ¨Will you watch the world as it falls into chaos?¨. If the pilot chooses no, the system will lock out the pilot and shut down. If the pilot chooses yes, they are injected with a unknown liquid via 2 syringes to the neck as seen on other Gundam Frames and like their systems, the system will decide if the pilot is worthy or not to pilot the machine. If not chosen, the pilot will instantly combust and turn into ash and further studies reveal that unknown liquid is liquid Fire Dust. If chosen, the liquid will basically fuse with the pilot and allows them to activate the suit and increases resistance to any fire-based attacks and firepower when using any fire-based attacks.
-Black Box System: Located inside the cockpit, the only thing known about this system is it allows Cinder to manipulate Fire Dust and any other data on this system is a mystery.
-Camera Drones: They are the size of a regular person and is spherical as they fly out of the top of the shoulder and are stabilized by Gravity Dust. These drones are used to help Leraje observe the battlefield and located targets as the cameras are also equipped with different types of modes depending on the situation.
-Dust Shield Generator: Located on sides of the arms, they are powered by Dust Crystals to create circular types of shields depending on the Dust Crystal being used. Cinder uses Fire Dust that allows the shield to be used as an offensive weapon and can melt physical projectiles like bullets.
-Detachable Backpack Unit: Originally just a fixed backpack unit, it was upgraded to be detached and be used as a flying platform, but the unit loses the ability to transform into its MA.
-Tail Unit: (Design is similar to the tail unit used by Kyrios from Gundam 00.) An optional unit mounted on the back of the backpack, it grants the unit increased firepower and when it runs of ammo, the unit can be purged and can deal a decent amount of damage to anything near it as it self-destructs.
-Head Sphere Sensor Helmet: (Designed like the Sutherland head from Code Geass.) Mostly used to conceal the head of Leraje during missions, it also provides tactical data for Cinder to use. It is noted that parts of the helmet will open up to reveal the sensor for it to gather data.

History
First developed by Vale during the Calamity War and kept in storage by Beacon after the war, however, the unit was stolen by an unknown group during this time. The unit reappeared, heavily modified and was equipped with a 3rd Ahab Dust Reactor to help conceal the identity. The unit saw action when it was covering Roman Torchwick escape from Ruby Rose and when it was about to take her, Glynda appeared with her mobile suit and fought with Leraje when it was wearing its head sphere sensor helmet. Glynda managed to break a part of the helmet, revealing the V-fin, shocking Glynda as she continued the attack. Leraje retreated after Roman escaped, but not before Glynda managed to take a picture and record the unit when it left. It is rumored that the unit is currently in Vale, but exact location is unknown and when the Vale military sent out a squad of Grimgerdes to find Leraje, they were all destroyed.
Next Unit: Glynda Goodwitch's Mobile Suit
Okay, so I kinda cheated and gave Cinder her blades and bow, but to be fair, she did have them way before Volume 1.
Notes
-Cinder (Post Disaster): Very little is known about this person other than she is responsible for the recent incidents that happened in Vale and very deadly past incidents. One of these incidents include the near reactivation of Mobile Armors being kept by the Vale military, but thankfully, the units weren't reactivated, but the military lost reputation and a good portion of their forces from the attack and the Mobile Armors being revealed to the public. Rumors say that Cinder is working for an unknown group that wants to watch the world fall into chaos.
