The first in the long line of robotic assassins, known as Shadow Warriors, this dangerous machine is little more than a mechanical housing unit that holds the remains of what was once know as the deadliest Rogue Lycan Assassin. Version 3.
Version 4
SW-001 is a testimate to the greatest Rogue Lycan Assassin that ever lived, and died. Built with a state of the art support system and a vast nexus of protocols to make sure that his old mind doesn't awaken. Thanks to the almost endless flow of money into this special Head of Hydra, such upgrades and spending on the SW is made possible, with each version taking everything to a whole new level, and version 4 is no exception or slouch to this policy. The concealed blades have been lengthened by a few inches to increase the reach of the blades for assassination purposes and also for when they are used in fighting. A new link-up system registers all weapon on weapon and weapon on armor clashes to help increase the static charge build up. The plasma discharge on the heavy two-handed sword has been modified but the weight remains the same as it is part of what drives foes into fear and makes the weapon infamous. Only a few more upgrades can be made to modify and improve the head, although it is now nearing its completion status. The single nano tech housing unit in the top of the head has been changed to two housing units and stored effectivly with one in either cheek. The viser has been altered from a rounded bubble shape to a more angular and plate-like design and slides open litke a shutter. Both eyes and sensors have been left alone for now. A few bugs and tweaks were removed from the eco pulse resonance system and sheilding to the unit to prevent internal damage to itself.
The body of SW-001 has once again undergone great changes towards perfection. Brand new and flawless joints help for mobility and the improved armor is both durable and no longer overberring so the flexibility of the machine seems almost lifelike to Lycan standards. A semi-biotic spine now runs along the back and incriments into the brain, allowing for free and synced functioning of the replicated limbs and the machine limbs. Thanks to extended biotic engineering the entire body from shoulders to hips has been recreated, although the only organs inside are the lungs and heart. All other organs are replaced with replicated devices that help sustain and maintain life, creating the Sythetic, real blood mix that the body needs. All bones have been set in a carbon fiber enhancement that makes them almost as strong and durable as the version 1 armor. The brain has been fully replicated and linked with nanowires to utilize almost all brain function in a comatos state to prevent waking. Nano machine housing units have now been implimented in the shoulder and hip armor pieces and have been dedicated to repairing organic and inorganic material. Also, in the legs, a prototype stabalizer ski system has been added.
Version 3
"And so it has come that, all our decisions from this point on, determine the path for a new age, and a glorious beginning for everyone with us, let our enemies fall at the hands of the Shadow Warriors." SW-001, first model of the Mechanic Assassination Head of the secret human splinter cell, Hydra, this machine is designed for the purpose of mimics the greatest Rogue Lycan Assassin that had ever lived, and died. Within this machine is not just top and future technology but a sophisticated life support system that has been design to give life to the remains of the very assassin it is meant to copy. The brain, which has almost been completely restored, is now linked with an additional prototype program that allows the SW to function within a semi-creative standard to improvise and improve on the battlefield without awakening the mind itself for easy control. The shock generator has been modified a final time to triple the output voltage and the once blue static is now seen as red. The unit itself is even smaller than before and is situated just below the right shoulder section of the machine. Enhanced vision, Medium echo Pulse and enhanced thermal and night vision have been installed with prototype OMNI sensors that can detect objects on land or under the water, or even in the air. The facial construction has taken a brief turn from exact mimicry to allow for the installation of a new prototype system. The entire upper proportion of the head, starting at around nose level to the top of the head, is covered in a helmet like visor that can slide open or closed based on combat necessities. The adjustable eye has been refined and the technology improved so its range can see upwards of three miles away in proper conditions and can instantly adjust focus in milliseconds worth of time. The other eye has been heavily redesigned and reinforced to maintain six hours functioning on maximum setting before overheating becomes an issue. Like version 2 there are two sensors with the same split as last time. The location of mechanized ears has been moved back slightly to allow for the prototype visor and also spaced out slightly further for a prototype in nano technology for fast and responsive to all organic and inorganic materials. In addition the Echo Pulse has been changed to a Medium Echo Pulse which, apart from crippling targets at a further range, it can now cause internal damage to mechanic or organic life forms that are too close. It can now also function with some "self-choice" and not go strait for the first target it finds.
"When SW-001 reaches full potential, everyone will have no choice but to fall in line or die at his blades. Just think... The lethality of the only assassin to cut off a full head of Hydra, but now manufactured for Hydra into unprecedented numbers... That is, beautiful." SW-001 is very much like his once living counter part, though he is not conscious or capable of such realizations at this time. All current armaments have been blustered and more experimental weaponry has been put into use. Along with the Anti-vehicle sword a second Two-handed sword has joined the ranks, a 2 ton beast capable of ripping through flesh and bone with ease. This monstrosity is rumored to be a demon that feasts on the blood of its enemies, a fable easy to spread when the sword can dispense a burst of plasma when enough blood has been "consumed". Alongside the reflective tech sword is a short blade that is sleek and sharp, but also with the option to split from the hilt and be fired off as a giant projectile. Thanks to a housing unit just inside the hilt, which contains Nano machines, a new blade is reconstructed and attached after a few moments. The new armor is a experimental alloy that is light weight yet more resilient than any current armor out there, this has been used on both the outer and inner plating. The new life support system supplies richer blood and faster connection to all organic parts. Currently no additional organic pieces of the remains have been added but those that are implanted have been greatly improved thanks to genetic enhancements. Other than the blue cloak, all old weapons have been discarded as the current weapons are set to do everything the old weapons did, and more.
Version 2
SW-001 has been upgraded greatly since Version one, though its design appears exactly the same as the first. The programs and protocols that extract memories from the mind has been upgraded to a nexus and a maze of paths and securities, designed for better processing and a tighter hold on the SW functioning. Additional upgrades have been implemented in both the head and torso of this machine while it is slowly moved further from a simple machine or robot into something, more. The concealed blades have been reinforced and strengthened, and it is also said they were dipped in holy water and inlaid with pure, blessed silver. A more direct circuitry connects the blades to the shock-charge generator to allow faster use of the weapon and allow excess electric residue to pass through the body without bringing harm to other mechanics or the inner life support system. New and improved forms of Infrared, night-vision, thermal black and white, echo pulse, radar, sonar and enhanced vision have been modified to be fitted into the head without cluttering what little space there is. The look of the head itself has improved with the rest of the armor and technology equipped. Of the eyes, one is still an extended scope with an auto adjusting measure for almost any distance near or far and also comes with an auto indicator of targets, civilians and threats. The second eye has been switched from its prototype for a working model, though overheating is still an extreme issue so it can only be maintained on its lowest setting, which still allows complete scans and facial recognition without trouble. The original three sensors have been replaced with two, for a more efficient and less clutter on the face to allow more armor near the eyes. One sensor can be switched between Infrared and thermal black and white while the other can be used for a sight enhancement or night vision, choice settings in green or blue. The layered plate armor now overlaps even more and is slightly thinner yet just as durable, switching out overlapping bits into molded pieces that cover more area. The cheeks and chin are now plated a little more heavily though there is a slight gap for the mouth, a prototype jaw is used for the mouth to open and close, although all sound comes from a speaker located in the back of its throat. Mechanical ears replace the collapsable flaps though even these ears can fold down if needed. The ears marks and utilize the radar, sonar and improved echo pulse, which can now blast higher frequencies of sound waves or other measures to stun, disorient or cripple anyone close by.
SW-001 is a huge step above Version 1, yet he is no where near being completed. All armaments from Version one have been kept and improved greatly upon. The shock-charge generator has been enhanced to build up static charge faster as the shielding and routing circuitry have been upgraded greatly for faster and safer use. The Ant-Vehicle sword has been modified so the chain/saw portion of the blade moves faster yet only one edge is exposed, the other side is just an edged cover that works great for anti personnel. Its weight has also been cut down to the status of a one-and-a-half-hand sword. Many prototype and functioning joints throughout the machine have been replaced with working models and allow for quicker and smoother movement.The body's network of plating has been re-modified for less weight yet equal durability and strength. The shock generator can now be seen clearly through the housing unit it the abdomen, where blue static is charged and stored. Thanks to biotic sciences and improvements in body regeneration and engineering, there is now a living chest, pair of lungs, muscles and reinforced bone, which was all grown and then installed in the support system the same equipment of artificial tubes and nano-wires, though the remains are now being kept alive by a special blend of artificial and real blood. The armor around the support system is increasingly stronger and, like the outer armor, has been cut down on weight like the outer armor.
Version 1
SW-001 is a tribute to the deadliest Rogue Lycan Assassin that lived, and died. Beneath the machine is actually a support system for the remains of the long dead assassin, its lethality and memories melded with protocols and science to safely extract its skills and various targets, without awakening memories or causing harm to what remains of his brain. Dressed and equipped like the famous assassin, a few other upgrades are installed right into the robotic body. Concealed holy blades stored in the wrists, Infrared, night vision, echo pulse and enhanced sight are located in the head. The head itself is a mechanical recreation, like the rest of its body, to what the assassin looked like when he was alive. One eye protrudes with auto adjusting lenses that slide in or out to focus at various lengths from up close to one mile away. The other eye is drawn back but has thicker glass to lock it away as it is an energy prototype that alters its frequency and waves to alter what vision is used. Between the two main eyes are three minor eyes, one to thermal black and white, one night vision and infrared. The metal plating is set and layered to look similar to facial construct with hard wire and engraved features in the cheeks and chin, focused around a rectangular speaker wit a reinforced plate cover to protect the device from damage. The top of the head has two collapsible flaps that look like ears but are the marking points for all radar, sonar, and echo based detection systems along with a verbal recognizer and converter.
SW-001 is upgraded with a current armament of concealed blades, an anti-vehicle two handed sword, a sword with a reflective technology to make it appear invisible, a shock-charge generator that builds up massive amounts of static shock to discharge in one of two ways. The first is through a course though its body that routes it to the concealed blades, to discharge against the enemy. The other is a defensive mechanism that leaks all energy from the generator to protect itself and use it as a quick escape mode. This second mode usually causes temporary freeze up and sluggish movement until all wires and circuitry recover from the effect. There are also many other little "treats" housed in its body though must are not ready for combat just yet or are not equipped. Other than that, the body is a network of plated armor and joints used to house and protect the remains of the dead assassin. While it isn't close to perfection, its current arrangement is their safest design with them in control of the being. The body is the main housing unit for most of the remains: a heart, part of the shoulders and arms, as well as the thighs of the legs, and each is hooks up with artificial tubes, along with the remains of the brain, housed in a secure facility in the head of the unit, supplying artificial blood to everything. They are also hooks up with nano-wires to provide brain function and adaptability. Around the special housing unit is the strongest layers of armor, other than the outer shell, this shielding protects the vital living tissue from hazardous functions of the outer body. The "Outer body" containing all the devises and power units the mechanical body uses.
With the death of an assassin, came not the end of a name but the start of a military legacy. When a human scout group came upon the weapons and remains of this assassin, everything was reclaimed at once and sent away to a secret underground facility where months and years of work have forged, from the ruins of one body, the first of a line of robots that will replace almost all assassins. Equipped with a weapons stock larger than any known and upgraded with more gadgets specifically designed for it. SW-001 is sent into the world, unleashed and unchained and waiting for its first orders. The condition of the remains stored under all its armor and machinery is still clear enough to feed in all combat data needed to fight, but what of the memories of that individual... Scientists hoped they would be a blank slate, but what if there were some memories left?
The Awakening of the Warrior
Released into Gambit's Bar for a test run, the being known only by its product identification, SW-001, functions beautifully and gives no evidence of what it is, maintaining all forms of its living counterpart. Assessing the bar with a rapid face scan, SW-001 was quick to identify the Werpyre called Tam. After a programmed stop at the counter it diverted itself to face the other, using a voice system uploaded from the remains of the organic being it is meant to replace. Upon verification, a screen check allowed for attack protocols to unlock and let its Concealed holy blades side out.
Within moments Tam was on the run, with SW-001 closing in, managing to make a stab at her left arm and right leg before the emergence of a higher priority target, Christopher. Once again giving verification procedure it followed its processes to supply an old memory made new "I always promised you a fight. Target... Locked On." The engagement that followed was long and difficult, putting strain on the Version 1's systems and prototype body as it fought, with limited success, like the assassin it was meant to replace.
After being pinned once, SW-001 was forced to activate the defensive measures of his Shock generator to rocket itself away from the other and regain stance to fight. From that point on it was a losing fight as it tried a useless kick to the head. Being caught exposed it strained its right leg to pull a maneuver to flip over Christopher's blade and land beside him before changing targets and attempting to push off the wall. Before this could be done, however close it was to occurring, Christopher used his shield to block the path and the forced maneuver snapped the functioning join in the right knee.
With it severely beaten and in dire need of repairs, it began to retreat, not before letting Christopher get a good look of its face. A mechanical monstrosity that almost had some semblance to the assassin once known as Saldon. With its time at an end it was forced into shut down and, in the brief time before it turned off, an unarmed hand stretched towards the vampire, as if asking for help, before it shut off completely.
Several men then stormed the bar and dragged their prized Shadow Warrior back to a van to flee to their base while one foolish soldier was used for fodder. Leaving Christopher to drain him dry and stare after the direction they went.
But what if there was a mind trapped behind this mask of metal and wires... forced against its will?
A Scream Now Heard
He has returned, the one set on a pedestal and dreamed by the unknown face of an organization a dream to harness the true powers of the assassin and see the making of a machine that is superior in many ways and easily controlled and harnessing all memories and abilities. Sent out with its full armament after confirming that its concealed blades are functioning the machine known as SW-001 is sent out to locate and hunt the one known as Lady Phoenix, a short meeting and barely a name when the memory was found but another test to choose.
With a body enhanced and reinforced from the last one, more memories are unlocked from the remains of the assassin as the machine carries them out. Making its programmed entrance it seeks out the one known as Lady Phoenix: "Who are you?? What do you want?" The figure removed its reflective sword, the light catching it and turning it pure white before it seemed to vanish. "Target.... Locked On."
Yet for all assessments and programs, it could not be predicted that Ryand-S would be there or his close friend Aldaris showing up a little while later. The other mechanical fighter was quick to intercept and, after a barrage into SW's core nexus, he located the medical systems support the remains trapped inside. At once SW had to switch to safety protocols and defend itself against the other, the shock-charge generator activating as he prepares to use the concealed blades when Aldaris puts a halt to it by sending a mach 3 arrow through the chest cavity, spilling blood and malfunctioning the circuitry to cause the generator to backfire and launch the SW out the door in another electrical explosion, flat lining the remains inside.
Another extraction team, more heavily armed than the last, barely managed to extract their prize but Ryand-S was left with something to remember from his entrance into the nexus....
The mental screaming of something still alive.
