Equipment:Stave of Ryu
From Cursix Tales
The staff of Ryu is Kalshion's weapon of choice, it's also something he created himself with the help of Washu.

History
During his initial stay with the Shinseki shortly before creating the Dragon Mercenaries, his staff was a source of ungodly power, sometime's allowing him to supercede that of Sonic and Rose. However, during one incident he caused irrepreable damage to a dimension while chasing a dimensional criminal.
That incident alone caused Kalshion to worry about whether he should rebuild his staff. Then, during his time in the MGLN dimension he discovered that the staffs in that world were intelligent devices which could change into several different forms depending on what was 'installed' in them, but also by what the device itself created.
Intrigued, Kalshion rebuilt his staff while at the DM headquarters, he was given an AI from the TSAB (Time Space Admin Bereau, attached to the MGLN dimension) this AI wasn't like the one's he had on base which were fully capable of under taking base tasks, but he still made some modifications. However, he still had Washu modify the AI in a limited way.
His staff, now an intelligent device, was far more powerful, but it also had a 'lock' on it so that Kalshion couldn't use his full power while within dimensions, this power could only be unlocked by his twin sister who had to give a special pass phrase (Divination) technically speaking though, he is still far more powerful than any one person in a dimension.
AI
The AI in this staff reflects a gentle nature when not in use, but when active and in combat it becomes a ruthless guide for Kalshion and alerts him to danger. While it does have a chevalry side to it and will praise an opponant if they are doing well, it won't mock them at all.
Modes
A variety if modes exists for Kalshion to use, however he doesn't 'have' to use them, their only purpose to give him boosts in those areas ... or make him a devil...
It should be noted that his armor is based on the image in his mind, meaning depending on the 'age' he is reflecting his armor may appear modern like, or rather childish.
Key Mode
Key Mode is where the staff resembles a wrist band that fits around Kalshion's wrist. While in this mode, Kalshion can still call forth different varients and thus he doesn't 'have' to use the staff during combat and it can still retain its wrist-shape.
Combat Mode
Ryu's combat mode resembles a typical staff with a spear like blade at one end and a double blade on the other. This form of the staff is actually meant more for melee combat but can also be used to hold magical spell within itself for use later on. It should be noted that the spear is pure energy while the double blade is only partial energy.
Kalshion's armor is heavy duty and allows him to soak up an astronomical amount of damage - however it won't keep him protected from nexual rage.
Defensive Mode
This mode turns the staff's double blade into a spear and acts as an 'anchor' for defensive barriers. This staff is not meant for full on physical combat
Kalshion's armor is meant for defensive use only and allows him great agility across the battlefield and also provides him a limited, short range teleportation ability that doesn't require him to use his own magic.
Assault Mode
The Assault Mode of the Staff of Ryu actually splits the staff in two smaller forms of itself; both mini-staffs have a spear at one end, and a double 'V' shaped blade at the other. It should be dually noted that both the spear and double V blades are pure energy. Along with this, Kalshion can freely abandon the use of his staff (which reverts to its key form around his wrist, but he still retains the assault mode varient) and infuse his hands with magical power for a devastating melee effect.
Kalshion's armor, ironically, isn't heavy duty but exthremely light and affords him great agility and dodging ability.
Overdrive Varients
These varients can't be used by Kalshion willingly, he has to get permission from his sister, who in turn has to ask Sonic and/or Rose. Though MM's ruling is absolute (Wait, if MM authorize's these.. does that mean they are even SAFE to use?)
Overdrive(Ver 1)
Overdrive Ver 1 allows Kalshion to utilize is third tier magical spells, basically an 'overkill' mode, in this mode his staff also different, it's pure energy from tip to tip and he can utilize it like a whip or cause it to 'blast forward' toward a distant enemy at will.
Overdrive (Ver 2)
Overdrive Ver 2 is the next version of Kalshion's overdrive mode, this mode has the same properties as the previous but has an additional ability to firing mini versions of itself as a 'homing' rocket toward opponant, these mini-me's are very hard to dodge and equally as hard to destroy.
Overdrive (Ver 3)
This particuler mode is the top tier of Kalshion's different modes, designed by Washu to allow Kalshion to use something 'Diminsion Door' which allows him to appear anywhere on the battle field in the same way he use's teleport magic, the difference is that he can't be sensed. This mode is very taxing on Kalshion's body and also on his staff, also this mode has a time limit imposed on it by the Shinseki due to how powerful it is - though he still can't reach Sonic and Rose's power level, this mode does get him close.
Notes
While Kalshion has a variety of different modes for his staff; he can at will mix and match the abilities of any of the staffs, thus he is not restricted to just one. However, he favors assault mode above all else due to the light weight armor.
This is still a work in progress
