Equipment:
Class-Beta Coleric ArmorSuit- Flux’s armorsuit is the latest in a long line of Coleric advances. It has most features standard to Coleric armorsuits: nuclear power cells, neural integration, various weapons, life-support system, water mobility, and minimal defensive shielding. The suit’s speciality is that it is made of the alloy known as Hytlux, stronger than most but not the strongest of all. The neural integration allows most changes in the suit to be done solely by thought, mainly with weapons. The defensive shielding creates a field around Flux that can take minimal damage before the suit itself is actually hit. Also, his visor can display information such as ammo content and power readings.
Class-B Weapons:
High-Energy Blade- Flux’s primary and only melee weapon is a energy blade that emits from the right arm of his suit. Despite it’s name, it is the least taxing on the power cells of the armorsuit. The blade is an icy blue and able to cut through weak metal easily. (Note: Even though I put that, I’m not going to have him slice through anybody’s sword.)
Photon Gun: This weapon is on his left hand and fires light blue energy bullets at opponents. The gun does have it’s own energy cell which lasts about 30 shots, after which it must drawn on the main power cells. The shots don’t go through someone if they hit but rather cause painful burns on flesh. As a result, a foes might not even feel the shots if they don’t hit skin.
Photon Cannon: A cannon is hidden in the back of Flux’s armorsuit. The large blasts fired from this weapon are enough to immediately kill and unprotected enemy. However, the shots require a large amount of energy from the power cells, leaving this weapon as a last resort and only if Flux knows it will take out an opponent. It cannot be used if the main power falls below a certain point.
Strengths: The Class-B Armorsuit greatly increases all of Flux’s physical attributes. It’s life-support system allows him to survive in extreme environments for days and even without food and water. The defense of the suit is it’s largest quality. Only strong attacks can breach the Hytlux metal, resulting in an almost-impenetrable exoskeleton. He is also adept at melee fighting without a weapon so that he can preserve the power cells of his suit.
Weakness: The armorsuit adds a total of 95 lbs to Flux’s body weight, which makes no faster than an average human. Time is probably the biggest concern; the suit’s nuclear power cells will only last for so long. The use of his weapons creates a greater strain on the cells which can result in a shutdown is overused. If a shutdown occurs, Flux will be helpless. Electrical attacks are another concern. Even the slightest shock can cause some system to malfunction and electricity is deadly to Flux himself. Also, the joints are the least protected of his suit and are more easily pierced than the rest of his body.
Support Systems:
Sonar- Most of the time, Flux keeps the visor of the armorsuit covered. Instead, he uses sophisticated sonar to ‘see’ the world. It’s an effective approach as he can find enemies even if they use some kind of optical cloaking. However, there can be an information overload if there are too many things moving at once. Crowds usually aren’t a big deal unless they are huge. In fact, what causes overload the most is insects since the sonar even picks up their movements. It also has about a 30 millisecond delay, which can cause problems against very fast opponents.
Appearance: Flux’s whole body is a shiny, blue color due to his armorsuit. The joints are made of a black material to allow easy movement. He has a spherical chest which his two arms branch off of. They are relatively thin but durable with a elbow and wrist joint. His hands have only two fingers and a thumb, all of which are sharp. His right arms has a protrusion for his blade while the gun on his left is a half-oval shape that hangs over his hand about three inches. His helmet his square-shaped with rounded edges except for the front which hangs in front of his neck. There is a circular visor in the middle of his helmet for his three triangle-arranged eyes to look out of, though a thin covering is usually kept over it. The visor is lighter blue in color and only one way. He has a small cylinder-shaped waist that lead to spherical hips from which his three legs branch off of. His legs are jointed in three places: a third of the way down, two-thirds down, and at his feet. His feet are little more than flat disks with a little bit sticking up to connect to his legs. However, his three legs and odd feet give him great balance.
Personality: Flux isn’t really a good person or a bad person though he does bend a little more to the good side. As a mercenary/bounty hunter, his job entails large amounts of knowledge about other planets, species, and fighting abilities. He will kill who or what he was hired to, though he doesn’t take too many jobs such as that. He prefers missions that involve protection or even discovery. The Coleric isn’t one to talk to much in battle and focuses on what needs to be done. He can seem cold to people sometimes and has a rather dry sense of humor. However, he is comfortable having discussions with others who have similar personalities. Insults don’t mean much to him though a few can set him off. As a Coleric, he is most comfortable in water environments and is unsettled by hot or electrical ones.
Biography: Colerics are a race of insect-like beings that make their home on the planet known as Aquarius. Aquarius is about 85% covered in water, making Colerics a perfect race for the planet. Their flat feet allow them to skim across water and even stand on it if need be but only for a slight amount of time. Coleric diets consist mainly of aquatic animals that resemble fish but they have been known to eat the many insects that inhabit their planet, as well. Despite being a fairly peaceful race, they are also one of most advanced in terms of technology. Their technology resulted in a race of mostly peace-keeping insects.
Flux, which isn’t his real name as his Coleric name is almost unpronounceable by other races, was born into this great society. Both of his parents became soldiers for the protection of Aquarius which led him to do the same. He entered at the age of ten, relatively normal for Colerics. At first, his military training only revolved around studies of other planets, races, and politics that are envolved as they viewed themselves as peace-keepers. Eventually, at 15, his studies began to turn towards military plans and strategies. During that time, melee combat was taught. Flux was fairly adept at combat which gave him high scores and good references. Then, at the age of 20, came the test that most cadets look forward too: armorsuit training. Amazingly, very few are able to use armorsuits well due to the physical at mental strain that the suit first produces. Flux was able to over come this obstacle and found armorsuits to be pleasant experience. He excelled in his training and was one of the first to graduate and fully become a soldier.
His first, and last, mission sent him and a group of five others to make trade agreements with another race known as Racs. Racs greatly resemble upright, earthling salamanders but are a great deal crueler than other races. Most crimes in have some roots in Rac interference, even through several layers. However, as a peaceful race, Colerics weren’t to disturbed by Rac dealings unless it was with them. This mission would set new trade laws and taxes between the two beings and most Colerics thought agreements like this would eventually bring the Racs around to do less harm. The meeting went well as new laws were set between the two. It seemed like just a routine talk until the Racs turned and shot down at Flux’s group. Surprised by this turn, most of the group tried to reason with the attack but were easily shot down. Flux did managed to escape and fly away from the Rac spaceship but didn’t return to his home planet. Instead, he drifted for several days, questioning his teachings. He was taught to promote peace and only resort to violence last but after seeing his comrades so easily killed the Coleric wasn’t sure about that teaching. Eventually, he decided that reasoning was flawed and would only lead to the death of his race. But rather than go back to Aquarius and try to convince the others of the problem, which would never happen, the insect remained in space. Flux became a bounty hunter and mercenary to earn money since it was the only thing he was taught. He became rather well-known and soon did not have to scrap for money. However, he still holds a grudge against the Racs for the attack and won’t deal with them at all. Perhaps, if he can earn enough fame, the Coleric can return to his home planet and convince the rest of his race of the flaw in their philosophy.
