* Appearance: The vehicle appears as a Plymouth Volare in a drab sheirrf brown. The Plymouth Volare has a Black bull bar on its front. The car has off-road tires a modern police light bar on top, along with speakers and a spotlight. The car has the El Paso police department logo on its outside (doors, hood, and roof). The seats are made out of cheap light brown leather, the dashboard has a speed camera, and radio gear. There are separation bars between the driver and the back seat. (filled in with bulletproof glass and metal bars). The front windshield has stickers for the local police department, along with a Sons of Salem sticker and an aged sticker for an El Paso-based insurance company.
--------------------------------------------------------
* The car's diet and addictions: The Valor prefers fuel from the Valero Gas station in El Paso. However, it seems 'fine' with gas from the Shell. The car goes in to withdraw after a time without gas from Valero Gas station, This seems to be 'helped' if it is fueled with leaded gas, however, this seems to cause another addiction to surface.
--------------------------------------------------------
* Personality: The car is generally rather stubborn, along with this the car also has a short fuse causing outbursts ( Its outbursts can go from refusing to work properly to running people over, Go wild GM) this normally happens when the car doesn't get what it wants for prolonged periods, or when encountering something it doesn't like or doesn't understand. Through the years it has moved on to new things to hate primarily jumping on to new waves of media-sponsored panic, Its current main hate is Non Humans and Modified Humans (The car seems to be more stubborn along with a shorter fuse with said persons, GM again feel free to go wild)
Built-in a time of hate and fear, used to suppress new ideas. Info fed to it through sources of hate and fear, it has known nothing else to it through its life, and now in its old age, it reflects that hate and fear onto the world. One could say it is more like a scared old man than anything else.

The last of the seven katanas forged by Kunishige Rokuhira, and the one which he gave his life to protect. Enten is infused with sorcery and possesses supernatural powers that appear to be based on 3 goldfish that Kunishige bought from a shop when Chihiro was still a child. According to Kunishige, when talking about the goldfish he had bought, the red goldfish "attracts good fortune", the black goldfish "wards off evil", and the three-colored goldfish is "supposed to be totally amazing".

As one is struck, it tips sideways, redistributing the energy to the nearby smaller scales, spreading the impact over a much larger area and emitting a muffled ringing sound.

Upon closer inspection, it looks to be made of hundreds, no, thousands of scale-like ceramic chunks, interlinked with kinetic-resistant farbrics underneath. As one is struck, it tips sideways, redistributing the energy to the nearby smaller scales, spreading the impact over a much larger area and emitting a muffled ringing sound.
