Editing Chevalier (section)

===Strategies and Skills===
He can adjust which properties to use on the fly, making his weapons heavier, larger, sharper, etc. when it provides the most benefit.<ref>He adjusted the balances of his blade, maintaining the reach, the appearance, but he altered its interaction with the rest of the world, maintaining its lightweight feel as far as he was concerned, changing it in other respects.<br>[...]<br>He had his sword out in a flash, swung. A forcefield appeared, but the weapon breezed through it as if it weren’t even there.<br><br>It was, in all respects except appearance, and the ease with which he moved it, a weapon that weighed upwards of fifty tons, as durable as the heaviest weapon. The cutting edge of the ceramic blade.

Wears an ornate suit of knight’s armor and carries a trademark cannonblade, which is both a bastard sword and a gun. His power lets him grow and/or condense his gear, rendering it larger or more durable, while he ignores any alterations in weight or scale. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Basic Cast Page]</ref> He could apply the properties of one to only a portion of another,<ref>His sword wasn’t much better. The ceramic properties he’d applied to the edge were heat-resistant, but the remainder of the weapon were growing more nebulous in shape, the hottest parts of the metal flowing down to obscure the edge. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref> take the appearance of one and the properties of another,<ref>He’d drawn them into one blade, with the appearance of the larger, the properties of the smaller.<br>[...]<br>Combining the first blade with this one proved more difficult. He granted the weapon the appearance of this blade, gave it the cutting edge, but retained the lightweight mass and the durability of the largest weapon. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref> and manipulate the properties to a point in-between those of two different items he'd combined.<ref>Chevalier focused his power on his blade, making it as large as he could.<br>[...]<br>The size of the weapon and the effect of the firing pin seemed to help with the jammed mechanism. That, or the transition to being closer to his largest blade had shifted something in a fractional way. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref> It allows him, for example, to use his sword as a vaulting pole or slingshot himself by returning the true mass at the right moment.<ref name="parkour">As he reached an intersection, where he had more room to navigate, he hefted the sword, treating it as feather-light despite its massive scale. It batted through two traffic lights and grazed a memorial stone that lined the main street as it came forward, came down-<br><br>He vaulted, striking the ground, lifting himself up, until the cannon blade was directly below him. Both hands on the handle, one foot on the trigger-guard, he scaled up the weapon, extending its length, carrying himself up.<br><br>It couldn’t quite grow long enough to get him to where he wanted to be, but the camera showed him reaching into the handle, with a shadow-flicker surrounding him up to the shoulders, just like the kind that surrounded the distant Knight. He fell for a moment as he swung his blade overhead, cutting into a building.<br><br>That cut was his point of leverage to use the blade to carry himself to the roof of a ten-story building that hadn’t yet finished construction, blade extending, carrying him back and out, lurching slightly as he adjusted before landing on a partially finished rooftop, surrounded by yellow-painted girders and beams. Two of the three screens I could see showed him. The screen in the middle showed the Dauntless titan and its uninterrupted approach.<br><br>A shift of the image showed the speck that was Chevalier standing on the building, easier to identify by the framing of girders and beams around him than by his silhouette. And the distant ‘titan’, Dauntless. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/19 Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.6]]</ref>
