Name: ASP 2.2 (production name, definitive name to be determined)
Age: Irrelevant
Gender: None
Race: Android
Alliance: Neoasia

Appearance: ASP 2.2 has a lean, androgynous-looking humanoid form. Much of his body is exposed synthetic muscle, which looks a lot like [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/crysis/images/0/0d/57928_NanoBrochure_final_small_8.png/revision/latest?cb=20090908150459]this[/url], but less burly. He has a lightweight titanium-alloy skeleton and smooth armour plates of the same material covering his chest, abdomen, back, shoulders, outer forearms, outer thighs and shins. Rather than having facial features, his face is a smooth titanium mask with a single round camera eye that has a dim green glow. The sheath of his sword is directly attached to the left side of his hip, but can be detached if required. He talks in a stoic synthesized voice that emanates from within him while his face (or lack thereof) remains still.

Personality: WIP

Powers:
Android physiology – ASP 2.2 is entirely mechanical, so he doesn’t breathe, bleed or feel pain. His metal parts are durable as expected, but his muscles are only slightly more resilient than dense organic muscle. He’s strong enough to lift and throw a human one-handed without much effort, but speed is his real strong point. He can outsprint a speeding car and keep that speed up for quite a long time. Even when stationary, his arms and legs can move with bursts of speed fast enough to appear only as a blur. He has no sense of smell or taste, but has accurate hearing and his eye can both zoom in to see accurately across long distances and has a night vision mode.

Superhuman swordsmanship – ASP 2.2 is hardwired with grandmaster-level proficiency in Kenjutsu (Japanese swordsmanship) using his signature katana. Combined with his superhuman speed, he can make accurate slashes faster than a human can even react, parry attacks from all but the fastest of opponents and even deflect speeding bullets with the flat of his blade if he knows they’re coming.

Iaijutsu – The sheath of ASP 2.2’s sword contains a magazine with specialized micro explosives that serve a very specific purpose. When the trigger on the sheath is pulled, one of the explosives goes off to launch the sword from the sheath with incredible force, without damaging either. ASP 2.2 can utilize that momentum by doing a Iaijutsu (quick draw) slash instead of a regular attack, which strikes with twice the force of a regular slash. The magazine holds six charges, and he tends to carry one spare.

Its name, which is Japanese for “Thunder”, comes from the distinctive thunderclap sound produced by the micro explosives in the sheath.
