Anti-Skill Aggressor:
 * Anti-Skill Aggressors (アンチスキル＝アグレッサー) are specially chosen Anti-Skill officers, who have been trained to their limit to reproduce the movements of dark side criminals during training, and provided with advanced equipment which is not provided to ordinary Anti-Skill officers and cannot be used openly. Described as a trump card for the Board of Directors, they are an elite group intentionally made to stand on the borderline between justice and the dark side.
 * When operating as Anti-Skill Aggressors, they wear heavy black armor, with the text "Anti-Skill Aggressor" written on their right arms, and use advanced technology not available to regular Anti-Skill. They have weapons capable of slicing through walls and ceilings, and wield giant guns, the recoil of which might break an ordinary person's spine, with ease. Some of their equipment was designed by Kihara Hasuu.
 * One of the advanced technologies available to Anti-Skill Aggressors, used by Rakuoka Houfu, is a type of digestive enzyme which is used to grow muscle fibers. According to Rakuoka, the growth is mainly visual as the total amount of muscle doesn't change and the existing fibers are vertically split, though he is apparently able to move the expanded muscles more precisely and efficiently. He also describes it as the first step towards a similar method with muscle fibers to an existing method of injecting artificial fat into the body to change one's body shape.

Ladybird
Mechanical Capabilities:

Equipment - Left Arm, Discharge machine oil:
 * Ladybird wields a 60cm machete known as Left Arm (防御の剣（レフトアーム）). It is made of the artificial element Saintium (セインティウム‎‎‎), which has a metallic bond strength 56 times greater than depleted uranium. As such, the blade can easily stop a warship's armor-piercing artillery and be used to deflect bullets, though it is too heavy for a normal person to wield.
 * Discharge Machine Oil (放電機械油): Belt on thigh, multiple bottles, drink some/dump rest over head as if drinking not enough, thick clear liquid, sheen. Room temperature superconductive fluid which allows Ladybird to safely release all excess energy, also discharge machine oil which reduces frictional wear on joints, sound simple, combine with outer space nuclear reactor and building manned space probe within reach.
 * Smartphone on each shoulder, several skinny tubes in belts around thighs, some rolled-up silicone keyboards, clear bottles full of thick liquid.

Brain Extraction/Ability Usage:
 * Although Ladybird largely fits the definition of an android, being constructed from purely mechanical parts, there is one aspect of her which does not - Ladybird incorporates pieces of brain matter extracted from human bodies. Ladybird is designed to be capable of utilizing esper abilities, being modeled after the structure of a human body and replicating the structure of a human brain (with mechanical processing noted as conceivably being able to 'observe' waves or particles like a human brain does).  Cellulose nanofiber was used to create delicate wires even thinner than cranial nerves, however unlike in a biological brain, leaving them in their active state causes them to automatically replicate and if they run out of room, they will try to forcibly fold themselves up for space, with Hasuu noting the cerebrum's frontal lobe to be particularly troublesome. In order to ensure that the brain remains the desired size, a foreign object needs to be introduced to constantly provide the right amount of damage. Due to the change in the rejection and damage pattern, the esper ability Ladybird changes every time new brain matter is introduced.

Section - Brain:

Although Ladybird largely fits the definition of an android, being constructed from purely mechanical parts, there is one aspect of her which does not - Ladybird incorporates pieces of brain matter extracted from human bodies. Her body's structure is modelled on that of a human and she has a similarly designed brain. (セルロースナノファイバー‎‎‎) was used to create delicate wires even thinner than cranial nerves, however unlike in a biological brain, leaving them in their active state causes them to automatically replicate. If they run out of room, they will try to forcibly fold themselves up for space. The cerebrum's frontal lobe was noted by Hasuu to be particularly troublesome. In order to counteract this, Ladybird must take a foreign object (i.e. human brain matter) into her brain so that the rejection reaction will constantly provide the right amount of damage to her brain and keep it at the desired size.

Ladybird has automatic extraction organs, long and translucent, which emerge from a hatch on her back. When Ladybird needs to take in new brain matter and is close enough to a suitable target, they will wrap around her victim and drag their target into her back for extraction. This cruel design has been compared to that of an autonomous iron maiden. When Ladybird needs new brain matter, she experiences an immense hunger which overrides her will.

Being modelled after the structure of a human body and with the structure of a human brain (with mechanical processing noted as conceivably being able to 'observe' waves or particles like a human brain does), Ladybird is capable of using an esper ability. This ability changes whenever new brain matter is introduced due to changes in the rejection and damage pattern, with Ladybird having been shown using a telekinetic, then a pyrokinetic, and then a wind-based power. Rather than being a brain given a body like the esper cyborg Rensa, Ladybird is described as a body given a brain.

Esper abilities:
 * Ladybird is designed to be capable of utilizing esper abilities, being modeled after the structure of a human body and replicating the structure of a human brain (with mechanical processing noted as conceivably being able to 'observe' waves or particles like a human brain does). Due to the change in the rejection and damage pattern, the esper ability Ladybird changes every time new brain matter is introduced.(4-11)
 * Completely different approach from Rensa (esper cyborg), rather than a cyborg made by giving a brain a body, a body given a brain.(4-11)

Pt16:
 * Translucent thing, several predatory organs stick out like thin insect wings/long tongues, wrap around target to bind then shove inside
 * Overriding hunger(13/14/16)

Pt13:
 * Only way to preserve self, devour raw body tissue, bring to most important body part, intentionally introduce foreign object, trigger rejection reaction, continue to damage head in just right way
 * Cruel design, same time - everything needed to survive contained inside, built as autonomous iron maiden, victim into back, door shut, completely automatically

 * Tested before that
 * Hold coin and pray, Mugino's bra hook undone, nearly killed by Takitsubo
 * Same fail to undo Kinuhata's bra hook, not unhook bra that not exist, nearly killed by Kinuhata, coin not do impossible
 * Rules as far as known:
 * The coin fixes an action's success rate at 100%
 * After a use, one hour to recharge, regardless of quantity/quality of action performed
 * Rules from R&C manual and confirmed
 * Another one to add: Espers can use coin without penalty/side effects
 * Not 1/4 way full yet
 * Ch1Pt3: Full charge, one hour pass, tell time pass since phone off
 * Ch1Pt10: Unsure if use on man, work for "open this door" or "win me this roulette round", not know if work for "let me defeat this guy", want to avoid wasting wish and waiting for another hour
 * Ch1Pt11: Coin, 100% odds once, think could get Yomikawa away without hurting her?
 * Ch2Pt2: Hikami Ryougo sold weird gold coin to pawnshop?, shine fill outer edge, shadow gone, apparently pure gold
 * Ch2Pt4: Weird coin leftover, flip away, land in waste bin
 * Ch2Pt7: Benizome has coin, how much power over humans acting with will of own, target inanimate, countered wish, eyeline, not tested when two people use on some thing, Benizome know might happen once spread - survive without help, only one way to use - to negate anothers
 * Ch3Pt2: Used Vivana's coin to open lock as own not ready, click, drawer open, Lifeline
 * Ch3Pt13: Special screwdriver from people extracting personal info and data from electronic trash to look inside hard drive "Lifeline", almost in SD23, trash collectors, show where, sound like kick metal panel, look to see diamond-shaped yellow "!" road sign warning of danger, stabbed diagonally in trash, dent sound from sign, panel/door buried in trash at base, metal container, tunnel, floor cut away for stairs
 * Ch3Pt17: Open earth, fist burst up through ground, repeat same things like broken toy, concentrate inside her, seen fantastical phenomena, stare at map and place blockade along every route, suspect still escape, assumed esper power/technology but not enough to explain, not jealous - trump card double-edged sword
 * Not charged, used for wrong thing, die?, without coin - not attempt reckless plan, even if had - might have been able to escape after failed, not option after using coin wrong, close off own possibilities by using, people using tool or tool manipulating people, feel like curse
 * Yomikawa thinking, Kuroko had one, not just criminals, coins given to Anti-Skill, accidental deaths from people unnaturally breaking the rules because some secretly praying to the coins?
 * Ch3Pt18: Initial guiding noise all received, not grant wish for billion yen every five minutes forever, large place, finish charge, heal injuries, light vanish but nothing happen, not all powerful, open vault but gain nothing if empty, not grant impossible, Vivana already tried, learning wounds past point of being healed
 * Ch4Pt13: Not charged, discard
 * Ch4Pt18: Kihara spots fully charged and grabs, want to start next research even if rely on non-science, malfunction, fire bullet without pulling trigger, malfunction other than bullet jam or explode inside, present from heaven?, coin trap that provides obvious miracles but also take away all other options might try, die while still gripping
 * BTL4: Flick coin and catch, add foreign element shred flowchart, set up so dismantle and peacefully surrender no matter how play out, happy ending torn to pieces, all chose for selves to dive into free world of high-risk death, who got random, only one break free of its bond on own, slip below Anna's radar, contacted during day but overlooked - unusual
 * Slide edge of coin along crossbar of barred door, click of mechanism, unlock with no regard for how lock actually worked, yet another miracle, cell of science not hold magic - blunt metaphor
 * Spiritual item limited to Christmas as name suggests, absorbs power directly from ley lines instead of from magician body, technically more like a grimoire than a spiritual item
 * Aft: If everything went different from normal really was due to coins sending people down different routes, accidents/rampage by nameless Anti-Skill officers came from coins given to Anti-Skill, kind teachers have unspeable feelings lurking deep inside? Phrase wish poorly and end up with result never wanted? Up to imagination
 * Ep: Lost temporary goal of escape after throw coin, step away from direction defined by assumption that can escape as long as had coin.

Appearance

Principles

Only working on Christmas Day, the Coin of Nicholas can grant its holder's wishes.

After it is used, it takes one hour for the coin to recharge its power before it can be used again, regardless of the quality or quantity of the action it had performed or whether the wish was successfully granted. The coin's charge is indicate by the amount of light shining from its outer edge, which gradually increases clockwise (on the front of the coin) from the top of the coin as the coin charges. Once the dull outer edge is fully lit again, the coin is fully charged.

Although considered a spiritual item, it draws its power from the ley lines rather than using magical power from the user's body like most spiriual items, making it similar to grimoire. Because of the way it functions, it can be used by espers without them experiencing the usual rejection reaction which they would normally suffer from using magic directly.

Chronology

As per Anna Sprengel's intentions, the coins were randomly distributed to various people in Academy City, who woke on Christmas Day to find a coin in their hand. Shortly afterwards, a user manual was posted on the official site for R&C Occultics and quickly spread across the internet. The coins which were given to members of Anti-Skill and the Dark Side of Academy City greatly distorted the course of Operation Handcuffs, turning it into a slaughter.
