Mega Man: Project Zeta (OOC/Sign Up/Discussion)

Sorry Zacax, the pic is WAY to big. You're going to have to find a new one, or add it as an attachment.

 

Just about finished with the Armada Leader. Just have to finish the biography.

 

Name: General Estelle Durand
Titles & Nicknames: Lady Durand; General Durand; Essie (to those on personal terms with her).
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Occupation: Member of the Human Armada
Class: Leader of the Armada

Personality: Compassionate, level-headed and diplomatic, Estelle is an uncompromising humanitarian. She sees it as her personal mission to ensure the continuity of the human species, and thus leads the Armada with a strong, strict and almost motherly demeanor. She is protective of the members of the Armada, so much so that she will take to the front line of any battle in order to see that casualties are kept to as much a minimum as possible. Estelle runs contrary to the "Fight to the last man" doctrines; she will never allow anyone under her command to die unless there is a greater cause or victory that can come of it. She is likely to withdraw her troops from lost causes, so as to save them from falling needlessly when they could be more effective elsewhere. It's also very common for her to personally tend to the sick and wounded Armada soldiers, making it a point to meet with them as shortly after a battle as possible.

Because of previous events in her life, particularly those that resulted in her assuming leadership of the Armada, she has developed a near-extremist view of Reploid kind. Her battle with the Mavericks is one steeped as much in personal disdain as it is political doctrine and following orders. She WANTS, deeply at that, to battle the Reploids. Even those that would be her allies against the Maverick onslaughts receive great scrutiny and prejudice from her, so much so that she would never so much as strike an official alliance with non-Mavericks. She sees the Mavericks as the threat that thy are. More so, she views Reploids as detrimental to humanity, and their very existence and creation as an affront to the potential of humans everywhere.

Weapons:

Internal Enhancements; Like most humans of her era, Estelle was modified into a bio-mechanical humanoid in her youth, blurring her physical distinction from the Reploids ever so slightly. Many of her most pronounced features and enhancements reside beneath her skin. She has been biologically reengineered into an essential super soldier. Such enhancements include advanced, developed steroids that have increased her physical capacities dramatically, enabling her to run faster and longer, jump higher and further, lift heavier weights, and resist more damages than normal humans. These abilities are further aided and regulated by cybernetic implants that strengthen her vital functions, which have allowed her organs and muscles to more efficiently operate under the effects of her augmented physical abilities. Further biological enhancements offer her increased metabolic efficiency allowing her to go longer on less caloric intake, increased immunity to toxins and disease, and expedited recovery that can heal all injuries short of loss of limbs and severe injury or loss of vitals. Increased cognitive stimulation has cut down her reflex time by nearly three-quarters.

Dual Energy Swords; Estelle is particularly gifted in the use of energy swords. She wields a pair of shortened models, based mostly off of the design of the original Sigma Reploid.

Human Interface Armor - Lght; This is in fact the first layer of an advanced power armor system that has been standardized within the Human Armada. It's basic design is that of a catsuit, made of a tough, high-density yet lightweight and flexible material not unlike the neoprene suits one might seen worn by an electrical engineer. The suit offers high levels of resistance against blunt force, blades, fire, electrical shock, and even guards against a small array of low-energy weaponry. The suits conform adherently to the figure of the persons wearing them, covering them in all areas except for the face. Lightweight armor can be applied to the catsuit, such as a helmet-visor to protect the head and eyes, a chest plate-shoulder guard combination, and armored boots and gauntlets to protect the legs and arms respectively.

Because the catsuit is meant for mobility in light skirmish situations, it's weaponry is kept at a bit of a minimum, allotting the wearers the essentials. Through the use various ports located in key areas of the catsuit, these devices can be linked to the nervous system of the wearer, allowing fluid control over their functioning. The arm guards of the light armor support a dual-function as shields and projected energy conduits. Solar panels on the gauntlets allow the absorption of light energy. Small orb-like devices, linked into the palms of the wearer's hands facilitate the absorption of low-charge directed energy projectiles (think the first two charge levels of a mega-buster type of weapon). These energies can be channeled back through the orbs as either projected beams and shields at the user's discretion. Implanted within the soles of the footwear is a set of devices used for levitation and similar feats, which function on principles not unlike those of a magnet train.

Human Interface Armor - Hvy; Though most situations the Armada finds itself in are easily handled by the lightweight version of the HIA, they're well-equipped for the need for heavy support gear. This comes in the form of the heavy model of HIA. In general, these armor suits are designed for defense and security before anything else. As a result, only a few offensive capabilities are directly available through them, and much the weaponry used is carried by hand. Built-in defenses in the armor includes a sustained energy shield that takes the brunt of directed energy weapons, the physical durability of the armor itself, and a variety of sensors and life-support systems the aid in defending the wearer from the most extreme conditions in battle. The armor systems, like with the lightweight counterparts, are also designed to wire into the body through the catsuit's ports. The functions of the suit revolve chiefly around providing stimulation to the users, enabling them the strength and capacity to maintain stamina through prolonged battles. Each comes with its own supply of oxygen, in the event that conditions are unfavorable for external air filters. Voice filters and armor-to-armor communicators are also included.

The standard load-out that Estelle carries consists of a series of weapons to accommodate different combat situations. Her primary weapon is a plasma rifle that functions similarly to a buster gun, though it only has one power setting with no charging function. Side arms include a secondary energy weapon built-into the left wrist of her armor and a pistol that uses explosive bullet rounds. She also carries an arsenal of explosives such as grenades and small land mines.

Backstory: Estelle grew up in a military household, as the daughter of a man who ranked as a general within the existing human armed forces. So, naturally, she spent most of her younger years being trained and honed by the viciously demanding physical, educational and logistical regime her father had set for her. She was literally taught how to be a soldier, and more so how to become a leader. Even if she failed to realize this as a youth, she would grow into a sense of what it all meant. She maintained her demeanor and persevered through thick and thin along the path that her father's military and survivalist doctrines were setting for her.

At an early age, Estelle's father submitted her to a special research and development program that facilitated the incorporation of cybernetic parts into and onto the human body, which resulted in her being recreated into a partly robotic machine. This was done in order to prepare her for her ultimate fate: joining the Human Armada formed by Legion. At age 16, with her enhancements set and cleared as "operational" she began to serve under Legion's Human Armada, in which she battled Reploids along side her father.

Over their years of service, Estelle's father climbed the ranks of the Armada, taking her along under his wing. With her stalwart performances and dedication to the cause resulted in her appointment as Lieutenant General Commander under her father as General Commander. Though she was under deep scrutiny due to suspicions of family ties motivating her rise in the ranks, she continued to serve loyally. Her loyalty paid off in the cruelest of ways when her father's flagship was shot down over a remote jungle territory leaving the entire crew (reportedly) dead. As per a will left by her father, Estelle was promoted to General Commander of the Armada.

 

Let's get this show on the road folks!

 

I guess no one actually thought about my post...

 

It's more that everyone has blown what happened into a full scale battle where I had tried to make it a small-scale terrorist effort.
