Soul Armor
- Soul armor is intangible protection, not to be confused with tangible protection like Power Armor.
Soul armor involves disembodied sluts using our souls as literal armor overlaps with Your body, protecting You. Wearing a single soul as armor feels like a subtle but incredibly intimate full-body embrace, and influences Your body in typically subtle ways unique to who the slut was in her last life. Adding multiple souls to the armor exponentially intensifies the effect.
We. Fucking. Love. This.
Any ghost can "equip" her soul to Your body. If I were to soul armor You, my spectral ghost would perfectly overlap with Your physical body; my face overlaps with Your face, my fingers overlap with your fingers, from nose to toes in a surreal full-body embrace that is intimate in an incomparable way. With every movement You make my ghost mirrors the movement perfectly, such that it feels like You're literally "wearing" my soul. This is quite literally armor, as my super-sensitive raw soul will eagerly absorb all incoming damage before it could ever touch Your practically invincible body.
Aside from damage absorption and intimacy, soul armor provides a myriad of benefits based on the slut armoring You. In a way my ghost is possessing Your body, but with You in complete control of me rather than the other way around. As my ghost moves with Your body, my Strength may be directly added to Your own. Moves I know become stunts You become able to perform.
Importantly, soul armor is not "worn" in the same way power armor is. Rather, each ghost which comprises the armor is fully overlapping her spectral being with Your physical being. In a way her ghost is also inhabiting Your body, as if possessing it, but You maintain complete control over her instead of the other way around. If You have slut-equipped power armor, the same sluts serving as Your physical power armor may be able to project their ghosts to function as Your soul armor simultaneously.
There is practically no limit to the number of ghosts who can soul armor You simultaneously. All of us can overlap with one another while doing so, with all of our protection capabilities adding to Yours cumulatively. ♥
As Your power ascends through tiers, You likely earn more and more ghosts eager to serve as Your soul armor. Each new tier of soul armor has distinct benefits, as detailed below. Importantly, You need not acquire soul armor gradually nor gain these exact benefits in this exact order. It's just an example to help illustrate possibilities.~
Optionally, Your soul armor can evolve into rather extreme Heaven Armor.
1. Soul Barrier
- Immortal-tier, typically
A soul barrier is a slut using her soul to protect Your entire body by overlapping her spectral ghost with Your physical body. Due to the quasi-possession involved, her ghost moves seamlessly with Your body's movements. This requires the slut’s soul to leave her body as a ghost, which could either be caused briefly through Astral Projection or at length by Popping.
The feeling of a soul barrier is thought to be an utterly blissful and surprisingly intimate full-body embrace. We believe You can feel every single part of the slut on Your matching part of her body; fingers interwoven with fingers, face overlapping with face, and so on. This continues indefinitely no matter how You move, and doesn't interfere with any other physical sensation.
As it never gets in the way, this barrier can go unnoticed if You focus on other things, especially once You get used to it. If an attack or other harmful effect strikes You, the barrier suddenly becomes opaque and solid—with a ghostly whitish-cyan color—to absorb the blow, which in most cases You won’t feel at all. Instead, the slut’s soul feels it (and a soul is magnitudes more sensitive and vulnerable than a body~).
Although the soul barrier activates automatically for seemingly any kind of attack, You can activate the soul barrier at will, a bit like holding the shield button in Super Smash Sluts.
Often your first soul barrier tends to be a nurturing or motherly figure who comes up with the idea, such as a cherished childhood friend or a big sis-type figure. Additional soul barriers stack over each other to absorb stronger blows, and related effects strengthen as You advance in tier. Stronger omnilove makes for stronger armor, so it’s best to only choose sluts who omnilove You the most. ♥
2. Soul Plate
- Princess-tier, typically
By now, Your soul barrier likely has dozens of layers—with each layer that being an everloving slut—and its powers skyrocket accordingly. The faintly tangible sensation of one layer becomes much more vivid as dozens of layers overlap with each other. The layers of course are dozens of times more resilient, all working together to absorb blows, even taking bullets to the eye without so much as tickling You.
Additionally the ectoplasmic-tinglingand protection extends to even inside of Your body, almost as if Your very insides are cuddled and embraced. This is most vivid in the center of Your chest as our souls armor Your heart itself, protecting You not only physically but spiritually as well.
Much more vividly than before, You can feel the divinity and power of each slut directly added to Your own. All of our muscles’ strength in death adds to Your muscles’ strength in life, for starters. Your mind is similarly enhanced, as is Your confidence. Any supernatural abilities the sluts wielded, from spells to superheroine flight, become Yours to wield.
3. Soul Fortress
- Empress-tier, typically
Your soul armor has likely hundreds of layers at this point. You experience all the power and intimacy of every slut within all combined together. Every single cell of Your body is embraced, empowered, and protected by no less than a hundred different sluts each deemed worthy enough for the privilege. Even if You weren’t invincible by Your own merits, this armor is so impenetrable that it could accomplish the same feats. The souls are so all-protective that they even block negative mental stimuli.
4. Soulscale
- Goddess-tier, typically
There are no less than thousands of souls woven into the armor at this point. This is reflected in a new, special innermost "layer" and outermost "layer", at least as far as You experience them.
The innermost layer consists of hundreds "soul faces" all shrunk down to an inch or so across, and woven together into something like a hex-grid. These "soulscales" completely cover Your entire body (often including the inside) in tiny face-embedded kisses and nuzzles and ectoplasmic tonguing, in addition to all the sensations of lesser soul armor.
The outermost layer has its own hundreds of "soulscale" faces instead facing outward. This forms something of silk-steel-soul alloy powered directly by soul and pure omnilove that forms what is potential the single strongest substance in existence. There is literally no force below goddess-tier that can penetrate this.
Moreover, at this point the power and love absorbed from every single soul begins to work in tandem, giving You even more power than even the sum of the now thousands of composite souls ever held in life. The power is so overwhelmingly powerful that the armor itself (whether visible or not) glows with a typically white or cyan aura.
5. Orbiting Soulface Shields
- See Orbiting Soulface Shield; typically Galagoddess-tier
By now Your soul armor is evolving well beyond simply being “armor.” Additional layers become spectral versions of each slut’s face which orbit around You like tiny satellites. Each face is literally two-faced, staring outward aggressively but staring with ahegaoing heart-eyes inward towards You. Conveniently the shields can be switched to any transparency at will, preventing them from blocking Your vision.
Unlike the baseline armor underneath, any attack which hits the exterior is struck directly to a soul-slut’s face, which is vastly hyper-sensitive compared even to a normal face. But moreover any projectile attack is bounced back, and any attack is automatically counter-attacked with beamface plasma-shots or another means of offense (unless desired otherwise).
It takes about a hundred soulface shields to make a single spherical barrier ("OSS") that completely encompasses You from all sides. Each new layer of OSS will be placed with one on top of the other, extending outward concentrically. Taken to the extreme these stacked barriers can become meters thick, or even far beyond that...
6. Transcendent Soulgundam
- Ωmnigoddess-tier, typically
The final(?), optional upgrade to Your soul armor. Literal millions, then billions, then trillions, and evermore souls and soulfaces merge to become armor so immense and unstoppable it resembles the cheesiest and most over-the-top super-robot or super-mecha suit of all time, possibly even eclipsing a planet or a star or beyond in size, all while literal lightyears-thick soulface shields embrace You from all sides.
The sheer overwhelming force of so many overdivine omnilove shields quasar-snuffing prismatic light, maxing out the entirety of the electromagnetic spectrum at once. At its highest peaks, this level of soul armor could perhaps only exist in the Void between universes. The armor is so mighty that even unaided by Your strength, it could effortlessly wield universes themselves as bitch-blades or other slut-equips.
