Alright, I [i]think[/i] I'm done. This is my first time making a serious BBCode sheet on my own, so please bear with me if there's any coding errors. Let me know what you think!

[h3][b]APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent]

[u][b]APPEARANCE          [/b][/u]
[indent]Far from the more elaborate AI-controlled combat machines that are currently being used, XAND has a rugged, militarized design that makes it blatantly obvious that it isn't meant for anything other than war. Painted in camouflage colors suited to the environment at hand, carrying a railgun rifle, and covered in pouches for equipment of every stripe, XAND is patterned after the human soldiers it is intended to replace, and it shows. Its pilot, Jack Falcon, is a muscular but somewhat baby-faced Caucasian man with a truly magnificent beard. His clothing varies by the occasion, but when piloting XAND he chiefly wears the fatigues of a garrisoned soldier.[/indent]

[u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS          [/b][/u]
[indent]
[b]XAND[/b]:

[u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION          [/b][/u]
[indent]Jack Falcon was born to an average family in England, but his parents emigrated to the United States soon after his birth due to his father's job forcing him to move to New York. Jack ended up getting dual citizenship at a fairly young age, but grew up around Americans almost exclusively. He had a relatively ordinary childhood, though he was known to get into often physical scuffles with the local kids, and was prone to getting detention. He wasn't a bad kid, per se: He had good grades, and a decently-sized circle of friends, but he tended to respond to bullies with violence.

His record of fighting had an impact on his permanent record, and when he tried to apply to college, he found that he couldn't get in due to his reputation for violence. So he opted for the military. He displayed an excellent aptitude for hand-to-hand combat at boot camp, and he was approached by a representative from the Pentagon about an interesting project that DARPA had cooked up. With the ki-empowered martial artists known as "Nomads" roaming the world and getting into supernatural battles with one another, and the rise of the Nomad terrorist known only as "Abel," the threat of rogue Nomads was so dangerous that DARPA was putting together a project that would put this power in the hands of the governments of the world. But first, it would go into the hands of the U.S. military. Because of course it would.

The XAND Project, as it was called, took a different approach from the AI-controlled robots that had been used thus far. AIs weren't human. They were inherently alien, and could theoretically develop difficulties interacting with humans. XAND had no such problems, because it employed powerful bipedal combat drones that were designed to match Nomads through pure mechanical might. DARPA envisioned armies of XANDs crushing even Abel through sheer force of numbers, bringing rogue Nomads into line one battle at a time. However, it was still in the experimental phase, with small quantities of drones being sent on missions to test their capabilities in the field. Jack Falcon, due to his astonishing close-combat performance, had been selected as one of the privileged few test pilots for the XAND Project. Obviously, he accepted.

[h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr]

[indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE          [/b][/u]
[indent]XAND-1 (or just XAND for short) fights in the style of its current pilot. While XAND-1 is perfectly capable of riddling its opponent with projectiles, Jack is an up-close fighter, and this manifests in a schizophrenic fighting style which favors heavy, brute-force strikes, and yet a tendency to go for a ranged weapon the minute XAND-1 knocks an opponent away or otherwise gets out of melee range. Jack is trained in Modern Army Combatives (MAC), a fighting style which promotes integration of ranged weapons such as firearms into hand-to-hand combat. However, given XAND's intended opposition MAC techniques are obviously less than ideal, since ki prevents even a high-powered rifle from killing an opponent on a successful hit. Thus, Jack's unorthodox fighting style is actually [i]more[/i] effective than the techniques he was trained with. XAND is equipped with various pre-installed weapons as well as jet-equipped legs for flight and an integrated repair bot. It also benefits from extremely fast reaction time due to being a robot, but such reflexes are par for the course among the Nomads it's intended to fight. However, XAND-1 only has a battery life of about three days, necessitating that it be recharged every once in a while.[/indent]

[u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES          [/b][/u]


[indent][u]■   [Railgun Shot][/u]
[indent][XAND fires its railgun. Self-explanatory.][/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Rifle Slam][/u]
[indent][XAND smashes the opponent with the end of its rather heavy railgun.][/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Rocket Blast][/u]
[indent][XAND aims its arm at the opponent and reveals a small missile capable of fitting inside of its wrist. It then shoots the opponent with it, creating a sizeable explosion.][/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Jackhammer Strike][/u]
[indent][XAND hits the opponent with a straight punch or front kick, and then the entire limb extends and retracts repeatedly, hitting the opponent three times in one motion.][/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Taser Grapple][/u]
[indent][XAND grabs the opponent in a chokehold and then electrifies its outer shell, stunning and electrocuting the opponent. The enemy is incapacitated for several seconds after taking a hit from this.][/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Photon Slash][/u]
[indent][XAND produces a laser-sword extending from its wrist.][/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Electro-Whip][/u]
[indent][XAND produces two electrified prehensile metal cables from its wrists and enwraps the opponent with them, dragging the enemy towards it and electrocuting them all the while. Can also be used to strike the enemy like a whip (obviously) and even to impale them with the sharpened tip.][/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Auto-Repair][/u]
[indent][A small repair drone emerges from XAND's back and begins to, well, repair it. XAND-1 must stay immobilized while using it and is vulnerable to attack. Best used in small bursts while the opponent is incapacitated. Synergizes with Taser Grapple.][/indent][/indent]


[indent][u]■   [Jet Upper][/u]
[indent][XAND uses jets integrated into its feet to propel itself into the air at close range, hitting the enemy with a devastating rocket-powered uppercut.][/indent][/indent]


[indent][u]■   [Jet Dash][/u]
[indent][XAND extends its legs in the direction Jack wants to move and uses its jets to dash in a single direction at high speed. Good for evading enemies.][/indent][/indent]


[indent][u]■   [Incinerator Kick][/u]
[indent][XAND kicks the opponent in the face while its jets are engaged. This is obviously intended to mess up the opponent's face pretty damn well.][/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Jet Tackle][/u]
[indent][XAND uses its jets to fly like Superman and tackle the enemy head-on with the force of a charging fighter jet.][/indent][/indent]

[u][b]SUPER MOVES          [/b][/u]


[indent] [u]■   [Ocular Laser Cannon][/u]
[indent][XAND-1's central red "eye" fires a disproportionately large laser blast at the opponent that engulfs all but the biggest fighters completely, doing tremendous damage.][/indent][/indent]


[indent] [u]■   [Autonomous Mode][/u]
[indent][XAND stuns the opponent with an electrified fist, and then performs a pre-made combo intended for maximum damage. This isn't truly "autonomous," since all XAND is doing is performing a premade set of attacks, but it does so without the limitations of a human pilot. After a devastating, twenty-second-long sequence of brutal blows, XAND lifts the opponent by their neck, electrocutes them for five seconds, throws them to the ground, and then fires all of its projectiles [b]minus[/b] the Ocular Laser Cannon at its downed foe simultaneously.[/indent][/indent]


[indent] [u]■   [Electric Skin][/u]
[indent][XAND electrifies its casing. Any opponent coming into contact with it without proper insulation, even for the purposes of attacking, will be instantly sent into convulsions and drop to the ground briefly. Meanwhile, XAND can continue fighting as usual.][/indent][/indent]

[u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS          [/b][/u]
[indent]XAND is a drone, and as such is often controlled from several miles away, and potentially from the other side of the planet. This can result in input lag when Jack gives a command, and a lag [i]spike[/i], or God forbid a complete loss of connection, can be deadly. It is also experimental, and as such has the potential for glitches to occur at the worst times. Jack himself isn't a ki-user whatsoever, and as such he isn't particularly strong when not piloting XAND-1. That means that he's vulnerable to a Nomad in-person, and as such may need to be protected in the event of a Nomad attack. Not that he [i]isn't[/i] a well-trained soldier, he just can't throw fireballs or walk off bullet wounds like Nomads can. There's also the ever-present danger of Jack's connection to XAND-1 being hacked, allowing an external user to gain control of the drone to potentially-devastating effect.[/indent]
