Description

SO this appears near the end of the latest fanfic chapter. fav.me/d7yu444

In the show we only see the Japanese Lockseed combo of Jinba with Gaim. netro32 came up with Duster which is not tied to anyone in particular in his fiction but for me is used for European style Riders. And now, I made my own to fill in the blank; Chinese Riders get Dynasty. Nashi is the white pear of Japan. As the name implies, this is a royal sort of armor. 

The armor itself was designed so that it could feasibly just be black and silver on its own, but like Duster, the armor color is based on whatever Energy Lockseed is used. The normal Lockseed dictating the jewel colors and visor color. The gold I suppose could just depend on what your preference is for the mixture of colors, but I thought gold would look good here. The flaps that feature the Energy Lockseed's deco are not as wide as Jinba or Duster, so the pattern is more limited to a stripe format. 

The base suit receives some fairly extensive upper body recolor as well, with his whole head turned white to match it and the torso being a generic v-neck instead of the Chinese robe design so that it doesn't noticeably clash. I felt the forearms needed some sort of additional coverage, so I decided to add the forearm pieces that Ryugen or Malika would have on their Chinese base suits (which Shinra lacks) and made them gold to act as armor. 

The last thing of note is the weapon, which is basic. It's a lightweight staff that has a fixture at the end which is modeled after the weapon for their normal Lockseed. So in Shinra's case, his lightweight Gaim-esque saber makes it into a spear. He also has Rambutan Arms (no current plans to use it but it'd be a minimal alteration) which would add a pitchfork to the end. 

This is basically the equivalent to Shinra having a final form, so I tried to make it stand out. 

(UPDATE: Added weapon.)
