Name || âAEGISâ Nicknamed âFiverâ by his fellow Aegis. It should be known that everyone calls him Aegis, since he's the only one currently deployed at Prometheus.
Model Number || A-15555
Personality and Behaviour || Even among Aegis units, the one nicknamed âFiverâ has a heart of gold when it comes to human interaction. It holds a high opinion on organic life, and zealously wishes to protect all that he was sworn (programmed) to protect. He is an open and gentle soul, and an emotional pillar whenever none exist.
Given that almost his entire production line has been wiped out, he finds it difficult to end lives now, no matter the reason. This doesn't stop him from utilizing his more destructive skills to destroy inanimate objects, however. When life is involved, he is more prone to manufacture non-lethal charges like flashbangs or rubber grenades.
In speech, he is boastful and boisterous; he has a voice as large as his exoskeleton. He holds great pride in his durability and strength.
Overall Appearance || A whopping seven-foot-six makes this heavily armoured machine quite the monster. His armour has a metallic green and blue finish that reveals the pattern of multiple different slabs of metal. Every plate had been replaced with a new piece at some point in time, and as such holds different patterns. On an incredibly close inspection, the juxtaposing patterns in the plating give off an almost cubist painting feel. His heavy armour makes him look almost as wide as he is tall. The Hard Light projector is mounted on his right arm.
Features (weapons included) ||
C-21 CHASSIS AND ARMOUR PLATING: As an Aegis, A-15555 boasts an incredibly durable chassis and armour. His inner workings consist of multiple failsafes, redundant reinforcements, and a nano-bot self-repair system that activates whenever interior damage occurs. Essentially, the Aegis is an unyielding shield. However, carrying such heavy armour renders him very slow compared to other combat personnel. Given that his plating has seen replacement, some pieces of his armour are ultimately stronger than others.
HL-05k COMPACT HARD LIGHT PROJECTOR: Prior to the Compact variant, the HL-05 was mounted on the backs of Aegis units, with tubes feeding into the projectors mounted on the preferred wrist of each Aegis. The new variant does away with the heavy gear and is simply an addition to the gauntlet. The Hard Light Projector can materialize many shapes, and even be set to project holographic replications of an Aegisâ memories. In terms of combat, most Aegis units tend to use a large, ten-foot rectangular barrier that can protect itself and allies. The Hard Light projector can also emit any simple blade-like appendage for offensive combat. However, the projector cannot handle both configurations at once. The one nicknamed âFiverâ is particularly fond of a ten-foot Zweihander configuration. Since it is hard light, it is incredibly⊠not heavy. That's a good thing. Otherwise he'd be even slower.
C-21s RAPID BOOSTER SYSTEM: Nicknamed âThe Stamina Barâ by the more nerdy Aegis units. Despite the lack of speed, all Aegis units carry a non-burning booster system that can grant them at-most ten minutes of medium-slow flight for rapid redeployment in the field. When inactive and not full, the booster system is constantly recharging by collecting compatible gases from the air. In a normal outdoor area anywhere on Earth, It takes approximately five minutes to recharge a fully depleted booster. The recharge rate is diminished depending on the content in the air.
M2 TASER: A simple pistol-shaped launcher that fires two pins that latch onto targets before applying an incapacitating current. Effective against unprotected machinery and flesh alike. Mostly used for law enforcement and self-defence. Has a maximum range of ten metres. Also contains a defibrillator function, in the event such a tool is needed. The battery is charged by the Aegis' own core when it's holstered.
Skills and Specializations ||
Unyielding Defence: A protector first and foremost. Anyone who wishes to harm another- especially human- would find themselves needing to try to go through the Aegis first. Fiver will take blows no matter the risk to his life.
Heavy lifting: In order to carry such heavy armour, all Aegis units have reinforced hydraulics, synthetic muscle systems, and safety redundancies up the whazoo. The average Aegis unit has enough strength to carry a full inventory, as well as two other Aegis units with similarly full inventory.
EOD: An expert in explosives. As per Aegis specifications, all Aegis units were to understand bombs like the back of their projectors. IEDs, Standard issue, whatever they are, an Aegis can disarm one, tank one if necessary, or even create one if such a dangerous device is needed.
General Support: Fiver is capable of storing many supplies within the storage lockers located under the plating. This means food, medical supplies, spare parts, extra weaponry, ingredients for explosives, energy cells, or even a small child. All Aegis units, while not suited for surgery due to their immense size, are capable of rudimentary first-aid or repairs.
History || As his name implies, A-15555 (nicknamed âFiverâ for being one of two with the most fives in their model number) is one of twenty thousand units first developed as a form of riot control system. They were the robot equivalent of human SWAT members carrying tough plexiglass shields in order to keep chaos contained. All of the Aegis units were repurposed and subsequently decimated. They sacrificed themselves shielding humans from the raining destruction.
When the dust finally settled, only a few hundred Aegis units remained. Their sacrifice was immortalized in a statue along the shore of the Hudsonâs Bay, a stone likeness of a particularly legendary Aegis unit. (A-00224, who had sacrificed herself using her boosters to fly up and deflect a meteor shard that would have destroyed a city of a million people.) The statue points defiantly up into the sky, in the middle of what history remembered as The Canadian Shield.
Many of the surviving Aegis serve enforcement as âThe Tough Guyâ. That meant SWAT, Police, and Firefighters. (Mere fire cannot drop an Aegis) Others went into entertainment as robot wrestlers. Others still got modifications to accommodate loader functions in warehouses or factories. All of them hold to their more altruistic, protective programming, despite different functions.
Outside of the original Aegis service, A-15555 most recently moved to Prometheus in order to take a job as a bouncer. The club was about to receive human patrons, and the presence of an Aegis would prevent any unforeseen incidents. The Night Club in particular employs a colourful cast of characters, as follows:
-BART-80d (everyone calls him Bart), The robot that mans the central bar, or rather, he is the central bar. Every counter and shelf is part of him. He is big into entertainment, and holds the keys to every television. He's a stern boss, but he cares deeply for his employees. I mean, why else get an Aegis- a rare thing- as a bouncer?
-Willow De Mayo, a twenty-something human girl with curves fitting for the job, although she adheres to a strict professional code, and prefers to serve drinks like a true-blooded bartender, without flair. She dislikes violence and wrestling, which Bart puts on constantly. She is a new arrival, along with Jolder.
-Jolder, a cybernetic-enhanced (re: replacement right arm and right leg below the knee) woman in her early thirties whose first name is unknown. She is the polar opposite of Willow, willing to tease, flirt, and even give a show to patrons whenever Bart isn't looking. Unlike Willow, Jolder's body shape is not exactly "top-tier" as far as bartenders go. Her body is still perfectly "appealing" to patrons and customers, but she's no Willow. She's a very talented flair mixer.
-Frost, Not actually an employee, just the biggest regular. Frost is an android with a synthetic face and no actual eyes. Frost uses sensors in order to "see" around him, and hides the unnerving look with a large pair of pilot shades. Despite the name, Frost is a bit of a goofball, and enjoys the ancient table games that are practiced at the night club. Sometimes does Bart and the girls a favour by cleaning the restrooms, and as such gets free drinks. Frost does not actually have his own home, which makes one wonder where he goes when he leaves the bar.
(these are minor characters, not ones who would warrant a character sheet)
Deep down, Fiver misses the rest of his unit every day. Every year, on the anniversary of the cataclysm, Fiver takes some time to visit the memorial on the shore of the Hudsonâs Bay.
Fiver is currently the only Aegis deployed at Prometheus.
