In Roman mythology, Viduus was the god who separated the soul and the body after death. The white energy whip the Viduus employs represents the etherial qualities of the mytholigical soul, and in strong contrast in consistency with the rest of the suit, the armor represents the body.
I was sorta just messing around with this one, but yeah. The right shoulder deploys an energy whip which is controlled by nodes on the right arm, and the device on the left shoulder is a reactive energy shield. The range and effectivity of both can be increased at the expense of one another, and they are of course powered by some magical generator which I'd rather not BS a story about.
I love the design, how it is both humanoid but alien in it's machine aspect. Energy whip is rather odd, but it works thematically and with it's name. And the dark colors suit it, though the post it's in looks awkward.
i ... like it, the reminds me of both shin megami tensei (mostly avatar tuner) and mgs4 frog/beauty and the beast unit detail, it looks pretty interesting, especially enjoy the hedpiece and gorget
fantastic representation!!
