“There's an audience in place! Gotta let 'em see my face!”
Ghauri , Azure Striker Gunvolt 2


Ghauri, "The Prism Master", also known in Japan as "Prism Master", Ghauri (水晶靴の舞踏派 (プリズムマスター) ガウリ, purizumu masutaa Gauri; "Prism Master" translating to "Crystal Shoes Dance Faction") is a member of Eden's The Seven and one of the antagonists of Azure Striker Gunvolt 2

A former street dancer with an odd habit of speaking in rhymes, he attempts to combine his Septima with his dance moves to create a true spectacle. He has an affinity for the Prism Cataclysm Septima, which allows him to generate and control crystals at will.

Description

English Description

His “Prism Cataclysm” Septima allows him to create crystals at will. A former street dancer, his constantly amped up, upbeat attitude is quite infectious within Eden. For better or worse, he will speak in rhymes, to the point where a sentence will lose its meaning just so he can complete a successful rhyme.

If he coats the ground with a crystalline material, he can glide along the surface like a roller skating rink. He’s currently working day and night on combining the powers of his crystal generation septima with a hot new original dance.

Japanese Description

He's the “Prism” Psychic who can freely create crystals.

He used to be a street dancer.

He gets cocky, so he’s the mood maker within Eden.

His words are overflowing with groove and he’s always scoring a rhythm.

He can also glide as if he were skating over road surfaces coated in crystals.

He currently is working day and night to see if his own 7th Wave can be combined with his original dance.

Appearance

Ghauri is a teenager with cyan eyes and somewhat long purple hair. He wears a white short sleeved shirt, a small white-purple sleeveless jacket, blue jeans with lighter blue knees, and white shoes with purple highlights. He also has two purple straps hooked onto his jeans, a black belt with a sliver buckle, a black and silver pair of goggles on his forehead, black wristbands, and a black necklace with a silver spearhead pendant.

In his grimoired form, Ghauri gains much longer, slightly lighter purple hair, and black eyes with purple irises. He is covered in black and white armour, with purple highlights, with large purple crystals sprouting from his knees. His feet also resemble high heels. Ghauri also becomes noticeably taller.

Personality

Compared to some of the more serious and darker members of The Seven, Ghauri is a considerably more light-hearted character. His extreme self-confidence borders on outright arrogance, but his upbeat nature makes it fairly difficult to hate him.

A former street dancer, his speech is riddled with street slang, and is nearly always rhyming his sentences, which more often than not are more English than Japanese. As a result, half of what he says doesn't even make sense, as long as he can continue a successful rhythm. In battle, he speaks in practically nothing but English phrases and slang, and dances around the battlefield as he tosses prisms everywhere.

Despite his casual, cheerful attitude though, he does show the same hatred towards non-adepts that other Eden members show, describing them as "parasitic".

Plot

Born in America, Ghauri received professional education in figure skating during his childhood. However, during that time period, a movement against Adepts grew support, preventing him from becoming an official skater.

Instead, making use of his agility, he became a street dancer, and developed a dance squad with other Adepts. Their performances, which often mixed in their septimal powers, became well known, however, mistrust of Adepts grew stronger, until one day, when the team was meant to perform at a tournament, the organizers cancelled their performance.

Despite his team's woes, Ghauri performed them an inspirational, improvised rap, which got his team their confidence back, as well as spawning his current speech pattern. Thus, they once more began expanding their performance scope.

However, they continued to receive discrimination, especially from non-adept dance squads, due to the unique nature of their performance. Eventually, an incident with a rival team resulted in Ghauri's squad leader being seriously injured. Despite Ghauri's efforts to keep the team together, the other members lost their passion, and the team disbanded.

That's when Tenjian, a frequent spectator to the team's performances, approached Ghauri with the offer to join Eden as one of its "knights", an offer he accepted.

His passion for dancing still strong, Ghauri now works without rest to merge his dancing and his Septima, Prism Cataclysm, in order to ascend to a higher plane of dance.

Copen's Story

Prism Highway (Prism)

Some time after Eden enquired the power of the Muse, Ghauri leads a large squad to attack and destroy a highway. In his grimoired form, he speeds ahead, leaving a trail of destruction behind him, but he is soon tracked down by Copen, who catches up with him on a motorcycle driven by his maid Nori. He unsuccessfully tries to shake them off, before dashing ahead to escape.

Copen quickly reaches him, and is confused to see Ghauri in his normal form. The latter states that, "There's an audience in place! Gotta let 'em see my face," before using his grimoire to transform again and engaging Copen in battle. During the fight, Ghauri shows his dislike for the "parasite" that is humanity. Copen counters this by saying only humanity can judge itself, but Ghauri just criticises him for his lack of "flow". Eventually, Ghauri's rhythms get on Copen's nerves, who promptly defeats and kills him, taking his mirror shard.

The Garden 3 (Saviour)

At some point, a copy of Ghauri, alongside the other members of The Seven, is created by Zonda with her Mirror septima. He, along with Tenjian, Desna and Asroc, await Copen as he attempts to reach Zonda. When he encounters Ghauri again, the former greets him with even more rhyming, which by now have begun to drive Copen mad with their absurdity. Despite this, Ghauri's copy is beaten, and Copen carries on to Zonda.

Zonda later summons an illusion of The Seven to assist her in her battle against Copen, Ghauri among them.

Gunvolt's Story

Highway (Crossroads)

After Gunvolt defeats four members of The Seven, Ghauri and Asroc both break into Copen's house and kidnap Mytyl, destroying a highway on their way out. Copen confronts them, but Asroc refuses to hand her over, saying she has a role to play in their plans. Ghauri then apologizes on behalf of his "wingman" for his arrogance, but reassures him that his sister is in good hands, in rhyme of course, which only infuriates Copen even more.

Asroc then leaves Ghauri to take care of Copen, when Gunvolt suddenly rushes onto the scene, demanding the mirror shard, much to Ghauri's confusion. Copen then leaves to pursue Asroc, leaving Gunvolt to deal with Ghauri, who launches into a rhyming speech before attacking Gunvolt, who quickly becomes annoyed with his speech.

During the fight, Ghauri asks how Gunvolt can "roll his soul with human trolls", stating they made the world hell. Gunvolt replies that he wouldn't let Eden decided his fate, and that people like Ghauri and Eden are even worse. Eventually, Ghauri is killed, and his Mirror shard is taken.

Powers and Abilities

As a human attuned to the Septimal stage of the Lifewave and a member of The Seven, Ghauri is a powerful Adept who can harness the Prism Cataclysm Septima, which allows him to generate and control crystals of various shapes and sizes at will. Ghauri normally does this by generating a light in his hand which forms the crystal. The crystals are extremely tough, far more so than normal crystals, and can withstand all manner of attacks save for Copen's Twintail Bunkers.

In his normal form, it requires a lot of effort for Ghauri to generate crystals bigger than himself or outside of a five meter radius. With the power of a Grimoire however, his radius and size both increase exponentially. The crystals can also refract and condense light into deadly lasers, due to Ghauri's own willpower.

Ghauri can also coat the ground in crystals, allowing him to skate along the ground as if he was on ice. The crystals also seem to have some power over technology as in Copen's stage, he faces a Sumeragi Spyder unit coated in crystals. Upon receiving a Grimoire, his power grows to the point that he's able to completely destroy a highway. Owning to his former career as a street dancer, Ghauri is incredibly agile and graceful, combining his powers with his agility for graceful attacks.

Skills

  • Ghauri will always dash off-screen before performing this attack

Prism Shoot

Prism Break

プリズムブレイク

Poetry Slam

プリズムプリズマプリズン Prism Prisma Prison

Prism glitters bright / Forming such bewitching bonds / From which none may flee! Poetry Slam!

Ghauri’s Special Skill. It's an attack that drops 3 prismatic pillars and traps the player within them. The prism pillars launch lasers that become refracted diagonally upwards or downwards. The pillars themselves become vulnerable where they launch lasers, so a good volley there can crumble them. Alternatively, while playing as Copen, the player can use the Broad Circuit Special Weapon at the right time to easily break all three pillars at once. If any pillars are still standing, Ghauri smashes them in a pair of flying kicks, then followed by a spin to smash it's lower part.
