They bill the whole Aegis series as built for durability, and it definitely seems to hold up anecdotally among folks who have used the earlier devices which got popular enough to expand the range for years. Which made them look more appealing to me, after I broke that last dual 18650
It really does feel like a brick, but I wasn't so sure about that oversized OLED screen when I got this Aegis X maybe a year ago. Turns out the thing apparently isn't as huge a weak point as I was afraid it might be!
Because this is it after my clumsy ass did a dummy, and sent it plummeting out this window earlier. 🙄 (Better not to ask. Not sure I can even adequately explain that move.)
With bonus random old lady neighbor, apparently. Thankfully nobody was walking underneath there when this mostly metal brick made its little bid for freedom. 😰
At least the impact zone is grass rather than concrete, is all I can say. But, not too shabby for a plunge out a 2nd floor window!
The tank was even fine, which surprised me a bit. Even though that is the crappy smaller polycarbonate "glass" currently on there since I hadn't yet replaced the last larger bubble glass piece I accidentally busted.
It got jarred hard enough to switch itself off, and I was halfway expecting some damage to the internal electricals. But nope, it powered back up no problem, and nothing has threatened to overheat/explode after several hours. *fingers crossed* Behaving just like normal.
So yeah, in case anyone else is similarly good at breaking sometimes expensive shit, I really would recommend the Aegis mods.
No real complaints about the small internal battery Aegis Hero pod system, either. That also seems sturdy as hell, IME. So far mine has held up to plenty of more "normal" drops onto concrete and wood floors both, and only occasionally gotten the drip tip flying off intact.
(This is an AU where s/o is Mythra’s driver instead of Rex or Adam)
After helping a group of traveling merchants recover their stolen goods, s/o and his blade Mythra, known all across Alrest as the legendary Aegis, are graciously thanked by the friendly merchants.
“We owe our livelihood to you both. Is there anything we can do to thank you beyond mere words?”
The leader of the merchants asks as s/o smiles and shakes his head.
“That’s not necessary. Mythra and I are just happy to have helped. Aren’t we Mythra?”
The blonde haired blade simply nods in response.
“Sorry about her, Mythra isn’t all that great when it comes to pleasantries.”
“I understand. You two make quite the team.”
“Thanks. I really am a lucky guy to have Mythra by my side.”
He gives her a friendly hug, causing her to blush before pushing him away with a huff like the tsundere she is.
“On the contrary, I’d say that she is the lucky one. I bet any female blade would love to have a hunk like you as her driver.”
A very attractive female merchant says rather flirtatiously to s/o.
“W-well, I wouldn’t say that I’m a hunk, but I appreciate the compliment ma’am.”
S/o awkwardly tells her, making the merchant giggle as she looks him up and down with a sultry expression.
“Trust me, you definitely are. Here’s a little reward for helping us.”
She kisses him on the cheek, much to Mythra’s anger.
“Did you like that handsome? If so, there’s more where that came from.”
Before she could kiss s/o again, Mythra pulls him away and holds onto him possessively as she glares at the merchant.
“That’s enough! Do you shamelessly flirt with every guy you meet?! We’re happy to have helped you all, but it’s time for me and s/o to leave. Bye.”
She begins dragging her confused driver away as the merchant calls out to her.
“Ooooh, I get it. You want him all to yourself don’t you?”
Her question causes Mythra to stop dead in her tracks and look at her with a flustered expression.
“W-what?! N-no I don’t! S/o is my driver, I don’t have feelings for him!”
“Uh-huh. Your stutter and blush are really convincing there. Just admit it, you love him.”
Not having a good rebuttal, Mythra scoffs and quickly drags s/o away until they’re both alone.
“What is going on with you Mythra?! You aren’t jealous that she kissed me are you?”
“I’m not jealous! Just shut up s/o!”
She yells at him, causing him to flinch and turn away from her with his feelings slightly hurt.
Realization what she’s done, Mythra mentally kicks herself and sighs.
“W-wait s/o, I’m…sorry.”
He glances back at his blade for a moment before giving her a response.
“It’s ok….”
After a long silence, s/o speaks up again.
“Hey. Mythra?”
She turns to him as he looks at her in concern.
“If something is bothering you, please tell me ok?”
“……..”
“Mythra?”
The Aegis sighs before taking a few steps closer to her driver.
“A-about what that merchant girl said to me. I-it’s true s/o, I do have feelings for you.”
Hearing this really catches s/o off guard.
“H-how long have you felt this way about me Mythra?”
“I don’t know exactly, but one day something just clicked that made me realize that I….I love you s/o.”
S/o stares at her for a moment as a smile grows on his face.
“I love you too.”
Mythra looks at him with wide eyes.
“What did you just say?!”
“I said I love you too Mythra.
Uncharacteristically, the light elemental blade jumps into s/o’s arms and hugs him tightly.
“Woah, someone’s happy.”
“Shut up s/o, let me have this.”
To his surprise, Mythra then kisses him passionately on the lips before pulling away with a smug smile.
“There. I bet that kiss was much better than the one the merchant gave you. Am I right s/o?”
“So you were jealous.”
“Answer the question s/o!”
“Yes. Your kiss was a million times better. Wanna know why?”
“Because I’m a better kisser than her?”
“While that is true, it wasn’t what I was going to say. Yours was better….because it was from the woman who has my heart.”
“T-that’s so sweet. Corny, but still sweet.”
“And you love it.”
“Yeah, I do.”
“So, are we like…boyfriend and girlfriend now?”
“Are you seriously asking me that after everything that’s happened?! You idiot, of course we’re boyfriend and girlfriend now!”
“No need to yell, I just wanted to be sure! I love you Mythra.”
He kisses her forehead, calming her down.
“I love you too…idiot.”
S/o smiles as the two hug once more.
“From now on, if any girl tries to kiss you, she’s going down!”
Mythra grumbles as s/o chuckles and pats her on the head, which she secretly enjoys.
“As if I’d let any other girl kiss me but you.”
“Hmph. Good answer.”
She smiles in satisfaction as the two continue to embrace.
With that, s/o and Mythra’s relationship is no longer simply driver and blade, but lovers as well.

a/n: this was so fun to write, i love my girl mythra <3
mythra is a very clingy and touchy girlfriend – but only in private!
she can be quite mean to you in front of others, but behind closed doors she's super cuddly and affectionate
she doesn't like showing her affectionate side to anyone but you and it's bad enough that pyra knows about it!
but she really didn't need her whole friend group to find out about it as well…
the two of you had snuck away to get some alone time, without telling anyone about it
you didn't want to draw attention to yourselves, but now everyone had started looking for you, when they couldn't find you
mythra was sitting on your lap, her arms wrapped around your upper body and her lips glued to yours, when suddenly the door swung open and rex entered the scene
“mythra, have you seen–” the urgency in his voice disappeared as soon as he saw you underneath mythra. “a-ah… f-found them–!”
rex turned away quickly, clearly uncomfortable to have caught the two of you like this. and he knew that if he didn't leave soon, mythra would likely kill him for this…
but as he closed the door behind him, you and mythra could hear your friends outside, asking rex about you and if you were okay
“y/n is in there, we don't need to keep looking!” rex told them, trying to keep things vague and move on
“in there… with mythra?” you two heard from outside, your cheeks turning red as you listened to your friends discuss what they thought was going on inside mythra's room, until she snapped!
“WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING INSIDE HERE! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS OR I SWEAR TO THE ARCHITECT, I–”
