Fortified Armor Shell Hail

Fortified Armor Shell Hail (強化外骨格 雹, Kyōkagaikokkaku hyō"), or Hail Armor for short, was featured in the original Manga and PS1 Game. The Hail armor is Oboro Hagakure's designated Fortified Armor Shell. Made as part of Shiro Hagakure's Tactical Human Weapon program during WWII, Hail is one of two armors derived from Zero. It too is host to a multitude of sacrificed souls. However, its appearance was brief as it was defeated by Harara and Kasumi.

Appearance
Being created after the Zero Armor, the Hail Armor follows a lot of the same design principles. Black undersuit with shiny black-and-silver metallic armor, elbow-and-kneepads with screws, spikes coming out of the helmet, and a trailing white scarf. However, Hail is taller and bulkier than either Zero or Kasumi. It has a large embossed circle in the middle of its chest. The fingers, however, look more like gun barrels.

Specifications
Like Zero, Hail is made from a special malleable titanium alloy that repels most attacks. It's Heat-Proof, Cold-Proof, Bulletproof, and has polarized light filters for its eyes, several nozzles in its hands, and small thruster jets on its back.

Abilities
Hail is seen only having a couple of abilities during the fight with Kasumi:


 * Sublimation: Hail can launch a blast from its right hand that immediately destroys most foes with intense heat and pressure.
 * Bullet Blizzard: Hail can fire bullets from its fingers.

Hail's Will
Not much is known about the thousands of souls that form the collective consciousness of Hail. Their only real contribution during the fight with Harara and Kasumi, was being able to continue fighting after Oboro had effectively died. Later in the manga, it's revealed that Oboro's spirit still lingers in the Hail Armor, but it hadn't been absorbed into Hail's Will.
