Sixth sense, Piece identity

Exactly one ace gauntlet knight from each faction possesses a 'sixth sense', which is called a supernatural ability as it defies analysis and is subconscious even to the user.

AOU: Koshka

COU: Lingji

ABN: Fatma

ACR: Gannet

Those abilities are called a sixth sense because they defy any analysis and because of that they are treated like a supernatural power and because of this each faction has a team of scientists researching the brain of it's user. 

Their brains are the 'mystery' that each faction tries to solve.

The most obvious example is Koshka, the pandora. An entire team of scientists is monitoring her at all times and running experiments on her brain in order to find out her secret to do something very important. In other word solving Koshka's mystery is the AOU's victory condition.

Koshka is the only hope they have, so if koshka is killed the AOU loses by default. Therefore she can be likened to the King piece.

The Chessboard

Each faction has six ace gauntlet knights, six is also the number of the types of pieces in chess, these are:

• King 
• Queen
• Rook
• Bishop
• Knight
• Pawn

Each character represents a type of a piece in this four way game of chess and we can identify who is who. 

The king is the Pandora, a gauntlet knight with a unique brain structure that cannot be replicated and therefore is not replaceable, losing this piece means loss for the player. The kings (Pandora) of each faction are:

AOU: Koshka

COU: Lingji

ABN: Fatma

ACR: Gannet

The Queen is the most powerful piece on the board, that can still be sacrificed without losing the game, therefore a gauntlet knight who exhibits the most amount of power but does not posses an uncopiable brain structure, These are:

AOU: Miyao, The AOU gauntlet knight who has the highest P3 measurements in the entire world.

COU: Momotake, Not the highest P3 in the COU (Lingji) but because of the immense power he can unleash with his finishing move, Dimension slice, which can cut through any physical thing and hide it in seperate dimensions. No other gauntlet knight has the power to do this.

ABN: Naima, The highest P3 level in the ABN which sometimes can apparently exceed Miyao's

ACR: Rethabile, Highest P3 level in the ACR

The Rook is a long range piece, especially powerful in the endgame, it's second to the queen in value and power and forms the most powerful combo with the queen (5):

AOU: Jayden. Jayden's P3 is second to Miyao and they form and immensely powerful duo together launching joint saturation attacks 

COU: Andry, He has an Aptitude for long distance attacks while staying back from a far.

ABN: Stanisław, Heavy artillery aptitude for attacks with long range missiles.

ACR: Marianna, P3 level second to Rethabile and talented at controlling long range missiles.

The Bishop is a long range piece that is less valuable and powerful than the rook (in spite of also being a long range piece), because they color bound in a white or black square and cannot change it. These are gauntlet knights who are very powerful but face disadvantages that block their power.

AOU: Chloe, Her P3 level is massive, but only when she is flying alone and dips when she flies with others, making her less versatile than Jayden

COU: Sujatha, She has high P3 but also has a flaw that makes her P3 level very unstable when she is under a particular kind of stress.

ABN: Naomi, Naomi has received brain damage as a result of her mental optimization training which raised her P3 significantly.

ACR: Abdou, His P3 levels are very unstable.

The Knight is a piece that specializes at close range fights and defending other pieces.

AOU: Gunhild, Member of Warcat with a defensive role for supporting Jayden and Miyao.

COU: Rukhshana, She is not a good attacker but an exceptional defender, using her rejection shield to shield her allies.

ABN: Stephania, due to her ability for ally coordination and not for attacking

ACR: Ishak, Specializes in close range fights.

The Pawn is the weakest piece with no special advantages, usually used to create barriers and to be sacrificed for other more meaningful pieces. However they are useful thanks to their number and versatility.

AOU: Lilja, Lilja's skills are the lowest rated in the AOU with a 'A' grade for her Air power control which takes too long of a time to deploy and 'B' for 'Jack of all traits, master of none' she is versatile and can use any kind of weapon but does not excel at any of them. Her role is to protect and stay close to the king, Koshka.

COU: Aysha, Aysha has has no talent for fighting as a gauntlet knight but she has exceptional talent for observing the battlefield and collecting data she relies onto Lingji and Momotake.

ABN: Leah, She is more prized for her skills of singing and dancing for the internet than being a soldier

ACR: Noor, Noor has a low P3 but she makes it higher through constant self adjustment, she can command swarms of drones (which are very easy for gauntlet knight to shoot down) to stall and create barriers. 

The pawn is the most insignificant piece but it's the only piece that can be promoted to a queen by reaching the other side of the chessboard.
