[hider=The Apollonians (WIP)] [u][b]COMMANDER CONTRACT[/b][/u] [b]NAME:[/b] Maceroy Falthon [b]AGE:[/b] 57 [b]SEX:[/b] Male [b]PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:[/b] For somebody his age, and nominally a scientist at that, Maceroy looks very much like a lean, well-built athlete in his mid-twenties. With light skin, piercing green eyes, and long, wild white hair on top of his physique, emphasized by slightly tight black jeans and a plain, form-fitting white shirt, he initially comes off as every teenage girl's wet dream, as well as that of many young women... which is deliberate self-styling on his part, to make the point that looks aren't everything. Not to mention the various health benefits of being well-muscled. [b]MENTAL DESCRIPTION:[/b] Maceroy is not exactly the friendliest person in the world, showing off a cold, even smug demeanour to most that he rarely lowers. To those he considers friends, he can be warm and even loyal, but these people are few and far between, and rarely incorporate the youngsters of MockZ. Speaking of which, an unusually long career in MockZ has left him with significant experience in combat strategies, backed up by an intellect heavily geared toward science and enhanced by brain implants for even greater efficiency and effectiveness. Typically, he sees himself as above others, and has the mind to prove it, but even for a MockZ commander he shows an incredible lack of sympathy for his fallen soldiers, a matter that changed from a more careful mindset some time ago. [b]RECORD:[/b] 51W/38L [u][b]ARMY REGISTRATION[/b][/u] [b]NAME:[/b] The Apollonians [b]THEME:[/b] Enlightenment-geared scientists with focus almost purely on scientific advancement and the wartime benefits of such technology, including the use of clone soldiers, mechanical muscle, artificial intelligence (restricted to human-scale intellect to prevent an unwanted human/MockZ existential crisis), hive minding both biological and artificial, and of course powerful distance weaponry. [b]EQUIPMENT:[/b] [hider=Powered Combat Armour (PCA)] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/11/91/3e/11913e51e3d1b413e276bcbe10700168--body-armor-futuristic-helmet.jpg[/img] The power armour of the Apollonians is an example of the sort of advanced technology they have at their disposal. Not only is each PCA suit environmentally sealed, proofing it against hazardous environments until damaged, but they are also highly resistant to penetration at their respective grades, possess infrared and radar detection systems, and in a pinch act as strength boosters for their wearers, amplifying their striking and crushing force, and their lifting capacity even more so. Seen above: the helmet worn on all grades, itself bearing a HUD showing armour damage in the appropriate locations and the infrared/radar output. [hider=Grade L] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f4/27/11/f42711e7fdea4292ab2bda96956f5b50--character-concept-concept-art.jpg[/img] The lightweight grade of PCA, this suit sacrifices some protective capacity in exchange for much more substantial speed and agility boosts in addition to the usual strength improvements, making the wearer rather more difficult to hit in the first place. Even so, it is rarely used except on troops who are unlikely to interact with enemy forces directly, such as scouts, snipers, and artillery support. [/hider] [hider=Grade S] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/76/a9/cd/76a9cd09660680735c357b98b4fc46d6--character-concept-art-character-reference.jpg[/img] The typical armour grade given to most troops. It is quite capable of fending off small-arms fire almost completely, remains an effective defense against larger grade personnel weaponry, and does not hinder movement to any significant extent. [/hider] [hider=Grade H] [img]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/6/6c/Deathwing_Terminator_Armor.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111130005125[/img] At this armour grade, the protection offered is closer to that of an armoured vehicle than an infantry unit. In addition to much thicker and denser armour plates, the wearer is also provided with a rechargable plasma barrier encapsulating the physical armour, and strength boosters enough for the wearer to lift a small van over their heads. Unfortunately, in order to avoid overstressing bones and joints with either the suit's weight or the extreme strength it offers, the wearer's speed is also rather limited as a result. [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Monoknife] [img]https://images.knifecenter.com/thumb/1500x1500/knifecenter/ontario/images/ON498a.jpg[/img] A monomolecular blade that, naturally, cuts at the level of molecules. Despite this, it is considered a last resort weapon when all other options have failed, and if the Apollonians are down to these, they truly are in a dire situation. Troops wearing Grade L and S PCAs bear them as separate weapons; troops in Grade H PCAs often don't bother carrying them, as they are rarely unable to destroy anything they can get a hold of in the first place, but can nonetheless have them incorporated below one arm or the other as extendable weapons slightly longer than standard. [/hider] [hider=Plasma Blade] [img]https://fthmb.tqn.com/412FLkrBI43Whfp6U-ojTsicNDM=/400x0/2000px-Lightsaber_blue.svg-56a83fc83df78cf7729d431e.jpg[/img] A powerful weapon that, rather than cutting with a physical edge, contains an ultrahot beam of plasma within a magnetic field, allowing the resulting blade to slice through the vast majority of armour in a pinch. Whilst very dangerous, plasma that hot is extremely difficult to generate initially, much less contain its heat; therefore, any given plasma blade will run continuously for but a couple of minutes before its power source is expended, and less than that if it is turned off and back on again.

As it happens, this also makes them very well suited to bearing versions of the energy weapons in the Apollonians' arsenal, namely the plasma mortar artillery piece, a twin-linked variant of the plasma cannon, and a version of the Heavy Tes-Las Gun in the form of a gatling cannon of sorts; whilst solid or explosive munitions can be equipped as well, this is rarely done for reasons of ammunition storage. [hider=Medium] [img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/8/8e/Reach_Wraith_Active.png/revision/latest?cb=20111129235015[/img] Whilst not supreme in the field of armour plating and energy barriers, the Medium Hovertank is nonetheless a force to be reckoned with, capable of deceptive speed for its size given that mass is not so much of an issue, and able to be equipped with weaponry as described above. [/hider] [hider=Heavy] [img]https://www.halopedia.org/images/thumb/a/af/H5G-Wraith_Render.png/300px-H5G-Wraith_Render.png[/img] Much bulkier and well-armoured than the Medium Hovertank, with even stronger energy shielding, very few weapons short of those with much larger targets in mind will suffice to physically damage, let alone destroy it. This tank furthermore comes with a mounted HTLG on the front, allowing somebody in the seat to fire at targets more precisely than the larger weapon mounted further back, whilst still retaining protection from its enhanced energy barrier.

[b]POWER:[/b] [b]APPEARANCE:[/b] As a clone of Maceroy Prime kept up to date at all times, the two are extremely physically similar, right down to the apparent physical age. The difference lies in Lil' Mace's wings, two sets of four designed to grant him the benefits of four wings that just two wouldn't offer; this also necessitates a change in clothing style, and his is distinguished from both his brother clones and Maceroy himself by a unique topless robe of sorts.
