===Helmet=== Dauntless wore a gold Greek-style helmet, with slits for the eyes, a band of metal covering his nose, a slit running down over his mouth, and a metal "mohawk" on top.<ref name="6.7e1">Dauntless packed a few trademark pieces of gear. He had his Arclance, a spear he held in one hand that looked like it was made of white lightning. His shield, fixed to his left forearm, was a metal disc about the size of a dinner plate, surrounded by rings of the same kind of energy that made up the spear. Finishing his current set of empowered items were his boots. His feet looked like they were encased in the white crackling energy. If rumor was to be believed, he was working on empowering his armor as well, but I couldn’t see any hints of that energy on the costume. It was white and gold, and his golden helmet was in the Greek or Spartan style, with slits for the eyes, a band of metal covering his nose, and a slit running down lower half of his face. A band of metal crested the top, like a mohawk. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/tangle-6-7/ excerpt] from [[Tangle 6.7]]</ref> Although it wasn't among the items known to public, even in rumour, to have been empowered,<ref name="6.7e1"/> Dauntless had in fact extensively empowered his helmet as well.<ref name="II12.0e1"/> His empowered helmet granted him both sensory and protective abilities.<ref>The helmet did have some heft to it, Shawn found. He bounced it in his hands, feeling that weight. Concentrating, he tapped into that reserve of power he felt inside himself, and crystallized that power into the helmet’s capabilities. Sensory, protective, and some general shielding capabilities. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26/heavens-12-none/ excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref> Among the sensory abilities was letting him "think faster in a pinch". <ref name="II12.0e2">He had the day’s power to allocate. A fractional bonus to one of his items. The kind of thing that likely wouldn’t make a difference, but felt important.<br> Weapon? To better hurt the thing?<br> Helmet, to better understand it, think faster in a pinch?<br> Boots? To move out of the way?<br> Breastplate, something he’d neglected. Potentially to turn something lethal into something he could survive. He was struck by the thought of dying in muck, partially paralyzed, and he thought of Kel.<br> He infused the breastplate, channeling the power in there, hand over heart. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26/heavens-12-none/ excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref>These enhancements eventually allowed him to sense everything that was going on in nearby buildings, likely extending beyond that after the Gold Morning. |-|The Kronos Titan= After being thrown into the time bubble by Leviathan, Dauntless gained about 90 days worth of power in the span of a few seconds as time rapidly passed outside the bubble. In a panic, he pushed all of this power into his helmet. Doing so caused his thoughts to dramatically slow down. As such, despite the fact that his body was trapped in stopped time, his mind was moving at the same rate as the outside world.<ref name=THelm>No, was his thought, and things around him moved in the time it took him to form that thought.<br/><br/>The tail end of that single word was coupled with the dawning realization he had power available. Not one day, not ten, not fifteen, not thirty or sixty or ninety-<br/><br/>No! was the follow-up thought. His hand couldn’t meet anything before he had another ninety or more days pass. Instead, he pushed power from head to helm.<br/><br/>He didn’t get to choose what happened. But what happened made sense.<br/><br/>His thoughts slowed, and though his body was trapped in time, moving with glacial slowness, those ninety days of accumulated power were spent in the helm, giving him control over the speed of his own thinking. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26 Excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref> Over the next few days, Dauntless pushed more and more power into his helmet. This expanded his awareness beyond the bubble, allowing him to see and hear everything going on in the area around him.<ref>Sunrise came. With it, he had more power to give. Again, he chose the helmet.<br/><br/>His perception of the world beyond the bubble clarified.<br/><br/>And so it went. Helmet. Helmet. Helmet. For twenty-three days.<br/><br/>By the twenty-third, he was capable of seeing and hearing everything that went on in the buildings nearby. Businesses. He watched people like he would watch bad television. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26 Excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref> After four years, the bubble was popped by [[March]], and Dauntless immediately had a [[Broken Trigger|broken]] second [[trigger]]. This resulted in every single item of clothing that he had pushed power into, gaining this power all at once.<ref>The bubble popped. His body was freed and his body was utterly trapped. He’d infused power into every article of clothing he owned, sometimes years worth of power, and that power had come due. Every time he had passed on power to his helmet, it had shifted imperceptibly. To become something mythic, something to be proud of.<br/><br/>Now, however, it all came due at once. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26 Excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref> Dauntless grew to the size of a skyscraper, tall enough for his head to be in the clouds.<ref>She hovered over a ledge, and that ledge overlooked the distant sight. A figure so tall his heads were in the clouds. The growth that extended up from the ‘head’ was fractal, geometric, crystal, but with veins instead of straight lines.<br/><br/>That growing extended to the legs, starting at the feet and working its way up. A skirt, a dress, a lower body that was a mountain. Limbs and body, all in the rough silhouette of a giant, a titan writ in a strike of white lightning that didn’t budge, flicker, readily change shape, nor stop. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26 Excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref> His entire body crystallised. This giant version of Dauntless appears to exist in every known universe.<ref>The dauntless titan stood in the ruins of Brockton Bay, mostly unmoving. He or it was there in Earth Gimel, and he was there in Earth Bet at the same time. He was in an equivalent location in Earth Cheit, in Earth N, and every earth they were aware of, as well as many they weren’t. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26 Excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref> He is able to see everything in every dimension with the power of his helm. Dauntless' attacks with his lance are now capable of moving miles away.<ref>But Dauntless was attacking, striking out with his lance from miles away, to carve out chunks of the Chevalier, sending him crashing into a building. The Chevalier got to his feet and continued to retreat. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/15/sundown-17-5/ Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.5]]</ref> </tabber>
