Here I will be posting some of my characters and/or scenarios and additional pertinent information that will help my partners get a better grasp on characters and settings I wish to play alongside with them. Comments are welcome, as are critiques.
The CRUCIBLE Initiative
What is the CRUCIBLE Initiative?
The CRUCIBLE Initiative is a series of projects run and approved by Chevalier in order to increase humanity’s efficacy in combating the NOVA threat to its continued survival. Various human enhancement projects run concurrently with no actual knowledge of one another other than a few rumors that might escape out between the scientific and military staff. While they don’t have official knowledge and recognition of one another, some of the project leads coordinate with one another whenever they believe a project may benefit from cooperation and coordination with another project. A prime example is the attempted integration of the E-Pandora project with the Pandora project.
Chevalier runs multiple CRUCIBLE projects throughout the world with clandestine funding from whichever country proposes the project and provides scientists and military personnel in order to run it. While project leads have far greater oversight and leeway granted by Chevalier, they still answer to Chevalier’s military hierarchy and must answer the whenever questioned by Chevalier officials. Officials have been known to hijack projects and put them on display to garner public support often when the project is incomplete and is not known if it will be successful. This is often a political maneuver to gain support for other projects utilizing civilian participation and labor. While most scientists oppose such scheming, many keep these feelings a secret and dare not oppose the decisions lest they be replaced by more pliable thinkers.
The Pandoras are an example of a successful CRUCIBLE project and is the only one that has been both made public to the world and is in widespread use and acceptance. There are other CRUCIBLE projects that are in use, but many will never see public recognition if those up top have anything to say about it.
CRUCIBLE PROJECT: TITAN SUIT DRAGON-01 (DG-01)
Operator: Alexander Chamberlain King
Age: 15
Pandora: Unassigned
Personality Profile: Alexander King appears to be an immensely powerful choice for Chevalier to have run their Limiter TITAN program. His mechanically adept mind is perfect for developing and testing of the TITAN systems as well as developing new weapons, propulsion and power systems for usage in and outside of TITANs. This singular drive seems to come from an obsession to fulfill a promise he made approximately ten years ago to a young girl. Although we do not know the identity of said girl, it is believed that there is a deep connection between Mr. King and this now young woman which we may be able to cultivate and use to our advantage. His youthful and caring attitude seems to extend to how he intends to use the TITAN suits. While he sees them as support systems that can be used to simply enhance Limiter survival rates in combat or be used for search and retrieval efforts for providing ambulatory support to wounded Pandora, we believe he can be convinced to use the TITAN systems for full combat use in order to provide support to Pandora or be utilized instead of Pandora as is our intentions. Finding this woman who he is connected to may be our best priority as it may help hone some latent combat skills he has within him that will certainly be enhanced by usage of his TITAN suit. If she is put in danger and linked to her as her Limiter then we should be able to see a vast improvement with his TITAN systems and perhaps see other additions made via weapons, propulsion and armor as well as advances for the Pandora themselves. Were he to know that we intend to put his chosen Pandora in harm’s way, we cannot anticipate his reaction though it will likely be violent. Information regarding this project that he should not have access to shall always be redacted and all requests forwarded to Chevalier Pacific Operations Directors.
Appearance: Approximately 5’7” in height and weighing in at 145lbs, the young man is short in stature for his age and just within the acceptable weight range. He has the dark hair from his Japanese mother’s side of the family but his complexion is paler, and his body lankier, closer to that of his English father’s descent. While he wear glasses he does not require then within the TITAN suit because of the slight adjustments and enhancements granted by the suit. The volt suit system that allows for Pandora to change from their uniforms into normal clothes and back quickly is also integrated into the TITAN suit via metal bracelets around the ankles, wrists, neck, and waist. These rings on Limiter TITAN operators activate with the right body move combination and activation words, and the sequence is keyed into the Limiter’s voice recognition pattern so someone else cannot accidentally or purposefully activate the pattern.
TITAN Designation: White Dragon; name is a result of his TITAN’s appearance from nanite formation and coloration that he has chosen from a past memory.
TITAN Suit Armor System
Standing at 7' and nearly two and a half tons in weight, the armor itself is composed of billions of nanomaterial nanites that are housed inside of the metal bracelets positioned at various points on the Limiter’s body. When activated the nanites are released and cover the body first in a tough leather bodysuit that helps constrict blood flow and regulate body temperature while inside. The second layer is the actual TITAN exosuit itself, with the nanites forming various armored pieces based on the design, combat specifications, propulsion loudout, power source, and the Limiter’s body type. In the case of White Dragon, the combat suit is humanoid in stature, but has its booster propulsion system and ranged combat emitters positioned upon the shoulders, the legs and feet are digitigrade, and the head is designed in a way to mimic a more draconic visage. The material that makes up the suit are quite lightweight, yet harder than most military grade materials in mass production. This allows the nanites that make up the armor to create reactive armor to protect against some energy and most explosive attacks, while giving the user mostly unhindered movement and speed. Additionally, the power source formed by the coalescing of nanites creating a proton/anti-proton reaction that fuels the suit and allows for virtually unlimited usage outside of combat situations. Within combat, total usage happens around six hours after the initial activation. The power source is situated at the very back of the suit between the wings. Due to the nature of the nanite armor, the power source is incredibly difficult to destroy and would require several S-Class Pandora to even crack it though if it were destroyed then it would lead to an explosion large enough to level a small city.
TITAN Suit Propulsion Systems
Thanks to the proton/anti-proton emissions from the power source, the suit is able to generate a graviton field that emanates from the feet and the from the wing boosters situated upon the shoulders of the TITAN suit. The graviton emissions from the feet allow the user to hover roughly two meters above the ground, adding to the already prodigious standing height of the suit. While most would assume that the feet boosters produce an even field regardless of the surface and so make the suit uneven on surfaces that are not flat, the AI in the suit automatically adjusts the field according to sensor data about the surfaces it travels on allowing for smooth traveling regardless of the surface. For the wing boosters the graviton emissions are inert until the suit user decides to move around. The wing boosters are primarily used for flight and for forward motion while there are mico boosters positioned on various points on the suit that grant full 360 degree motion while the feet boosters are active. When in flight, the suit systems compensates for changes in turbulence and in changes in flight directionality.
When the booster systems is inactive as a result of system damage or the power source is heavily drained from usage, the TITAN suit is able to travel using the digitigrade feet. Unfortunately, due to the positioning of the boosters on the feet, the feet are a singular column of nanites and so it requires an extreme level of practice to be able to walk upon them let alone run. However, things that would normally trip up any other actual “feet” from other mobile weapon platforms do not affect the TITAN system as much.
TITAN Suit Armaments:
Hardlight Projection Systems
Hardlight systems are a result of arranging captured protons from a surrounding area and solidifying them into a shape for usage as weapons or shield systems. Even in complete darkness, the projection systems emit protons of their own upon activation and usage so that there are always a steady stream of protons to use as hardlights. The actual hardlights that are created by the projectors are not an actual substance that can be created and used without the use of a projection system; as a result the hardlights that are created cannot be mass manufactured and implemented as actual armor, weapons, or ammunition without a projector system installed. Hardlight projectors are infeasible as usage in infantry systems and most mobile ranged weapon platforms prefer to outgun and outrange their targets and which limits their usage to mobile weapon platforms that can perform at close and medium range encounters. Due to their power usage, the hardlight projectors have a limited range of 300 meters for any hardlights that can be used at range.
While the primary method of using hardlights is weapon systems, the secondary method for hardlight usage is projecting shields to protect the TITAN suit and also subsequent allies within a surrounding area around the TITAN. The user can designate the AI to create a large-scale shield or individual shield depending upon the power load that the suit can handle. This requires that the target that is designated to be shielded be within a certain distance of the TITAN and so it cannot be used to support close range combatants that are operating beyond the operational range of a TITAN. Hardlight shields can also be used in an offensive method to subdue a target in a nonlethal manner by using blunt force trauma to render a target unconscious. While there is still a risk of a target being fatally injured as a result of its use and only on human sized targets, this is the recommended method of battle against renegade Pandora or suppressing civilian targets.
Hardlight Gauntlet Blades and Fistsx2
Projectors upon the top of the upper arms can be used to create a blade of hardlight for offensive purposes and also defensively as a smaller shield without increasing power usage through activating an additional hardlight shield. The blades are emitted from the upper arm from a hardlight projector positioned on the upper arm close to the elbow. Each blade is approximately 3.5 meters long and ends in a singular point which can be used for stabbing as well as slashing. The projectors can be rotated on a 180 degree axis so that the blades protrude out towards the elbows and can be used as a slashing weapon while the TITAN is boosting around at high speeds. While the edges are sharp enough to cut through 1.5 inches of hardened military-grade steel, the flats of the blade can be used as blunt attacks to cause blunt force damage and subdue specified targets.
Hardlight Spike Launchers x 2
Situated on the “wings” of the TITAN suit, the hardlight launchers and projectors are designed to fire literal spikes of solidified protons at targets. Each round is shaped into an elongated diamond spike round that travels with the same speed of a high caliber sniper rifle round designed to cause extreme impact and penetration damage with multiple rapidly fired rounds. Each round is approximately the size of a tank round(120mm) and when it penetrates a target the hardlight round embeds itself into the flesh of a target and remains there until the target is destroyed or moves out of range of the projectors. Under certain situations the spike launchers can be overcharged, in which, the actual spike rounds will have energized protons inside that cause an explosion on contact creating explosive damage and shattering the shards to further embed themselves in flesh. Overcharging reduces the firing rate from automatic to a three round burst. Usage against humanoid targets results in critical if not fatal damage. Testing on Pandora has yet to be done to determine the extent of the damage against them.
Micro Missile Systems
Micro missiles are six inch long self-propelled explosives that are launched from a TITAN suit in large groupings that seek out designated targets. The missiles are generated by the nanites within the suit and placed within launchers within cavities in the chest, shoulders, wings, and hips that allow for missile launches from multiple directions and at many different targets. Each missile has enough explosive packed inside to blast holes into buildings and with each launcher containing about eight missiles a single missile can open up firing lanes for the other missiles to track into. Much like the spike launchers, the missiles can be overcharged into creating larger explosions but they lose their tracking ability as a result and can only be dumb-fired.
Volt Weapon: Dragon’s Tail
Releasing a reserve of nanites from the within the gauntlets the TITAN suit reforms the loose nanites in a ten foot long spear shaped weapon. At the tip is a trio of blades with a large blade in the middle and two longer blades on each side designed to catch enemy weapons or be used for cutting. While the shaft and the projector at the head are made up of nanites, the blades themselves are made of hardlights that are emitted from the projector upon the head of the spear. There are various veins of light that run up the shaft of the weapon, indicating that the nanite power source inside is running and powering up the blades upon the head of the spear.
From a tactical standpoint this weapon is primarily used as a melee weapon against singular targets that are of humanoid size. It is used moreso to keep targets at bay when using the hardlight gauntlet blades at close range is impractical and engaging with the spike launchers and missiles at a distance is also impractical. The blades are used to turn away enemy weapons and also to trap combatants that get too close. When facing multiple foes then the nanites can form a second triple spear head at the tail end of the spear allowing for its use as a double weapon that can deal with multiple attackers from all sides.
Freezing Field Enhancer
Like any other Limiter, once a young male has established an ereinbar set with a Pandora he can utilize the stigmata that he is given to use a freezing field to stop an enemy dead in its tracks or to eliminate a freezing field that is already established. While a single Limiter can put up a freezing field to stop a few targets, it requires at least a dozen Limiters supporting Pandora to eliminate a NOVA’s freezing field or stop multiple attackers. Thanks to newly emplaced emitters on the arms and chestplate of the armor, the freezing field is not only stronger, but can be employed faster and farther than a Limiter outside of a TITAN armor. A single TITAN is more than enough to stop a NOVA in its tracks and it can also stop multiple smaller targets that get trapped in its field. Unfortunately, the ability to cast an omnidirectional field has not been discovered and the TITAN is also limited in that using the freezing field is a constant drain on the power source and so any other weapon systems other than boosters cannot be used at the same time.
A Limiter inside of a TITAN still requires an ereinbar set to be stablished with a Pandora before using a freezing field.
Thanatonium Missile System (Experimental)
A theoretical weapon, a thanatonium warhead is a weapon of mass destruction to be used only in the most extreme of cases and only at a last resort. Thanatonium breaks down the molecular bonds of whatever it makes contact with. As a result, very few labs can handle it and so far only Chevalier has shown to have the resources to both acquire and handle it. On a TITAN a single five foot long thanatonium missile can be loaded and then fired at a range similar to that of a cruise missile to a target. Due to this range, a TITAN can be at stand-off range from whatever it is target to ensure that it is not engaged while its targeting sequence is initializing. Interruption of a thanatonium missile targeting sequence can be catastrophic and can result in the missile misfiring at the wrong trajectory or prematurely detonating.
Thanatonium missiles are designed for usage against NOVA and only in areas that have been evacuated or are otherwise uninhabited. While the actual explosion caused by the thanatonium warhead is actually quite small, the observed reaction of thanatonium and NOVA flesh is nothing short of extremely violent. Known records and observations indicate that the reaction is similar in scope to that of 1.5 times that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atom bombs. Due to this, the weapon should only be used as a weapon of last resort and only in the most extreme of circumstances.
