Pilot: Name: Dr. Rei Osborne and his assistant Ray | Race: Cybernetic Brain / Slime Appearance: [hider=Forms] Whats left of him [img]https://thumbs.imagekind.com/3829969_650/Brain-In-a-Jar_art.jpg?v=1492499382[/img] Encounter / Harvester Form - Ray [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/09/d0/2f/09d02fa33dadd135c7aeb8c296c7af76.jpg[/img] [/hider] Personality: Dr. Rei has long since died but has kept himself, or atleast his personality intact using various methods, from brain wavelength data storage, to AI incorporation, to as he is today, a cybernetic brain attached to a synaptic feedback controlled robot. He still demands respect regardless of his form as he is one of the oldest living minds that had survived the outbreak. He sees himself as the last guardian of mankind's pure genetic makeup and has since been the architect of numerous sub-species hybridizations and he does not mess around when it comes to safeguarding that data. He acts more a military commander than a scientist, blunt, to the point and seeminly very cold, calculating, and without any kind of warmth, but that is mostly because the current situation weighs heavy on his head. The stress is affecting him psychologically. Most of the time he is seen as everyone's grumpy grandpa. He has been experimenting with a type of bioelectrical gelatin that allows for his nerves to form motor and sensory control nodes with compatible systems. While, android bodies proved to be useful temporary housing, he currently uses the body of a slime he affectionately calls Ray (totally not confusing). She is like many of gelatinous kind, not very bright and generally quite simple in scope and grand planning. While ditzy and clumsy, she is very positive and happy go lucky, usually being subservient to others with the genuine effort to make them smile. She doesn't handle stressful or sad situations too well, and generally will start crying and lose cohesion in those trying moments. Some empathy and a treat usually gets her back on track. To the rest of the crew, she is a breath of fresh air in these dark times. The doctor keeps Ray as some combination of daughter, pet, and laboratory assistant. Despite an odd relationship the doctor can completely overwhelm her own fluid biology through the gelatin control network and thus use her as a way of moving around, and interaction, making Ray almost a type of android body for him to control. In those moments, Ray's intellect and personality are[i] almost [/i]completely subsumed and she will speak and move as if it is the doctors own skin. He also uses her natural biological adaptations to acquire more genetic samples and material from living and dead subjects. It has been rumored that Rei uses her as a type of xenobiological womb for new hybrid children. Its a wonder she doesn't just digest them, but apparently Dr. Rei has effectively changed her physiology to be something quite different from a typical green slime. What exactly, he jealously safeguards. Regardless of whom is in control, Dr. Osborne is in constant communication with Ray, and he generally guides her when she needs too. Most of the time however, the Doctor is quite busy and so Ray is left to her own devices. Mech: Callsign: Shoggoth (Dr. Osborn) or Squidy (Ray) | Type: Multi-Armed Mobile Robotic Carapace MAMRC-8 [hider=Carapace] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/2e/cf/0e/2ecf0e41b5216932f5f783f78eee820b.jpg[/img] [/hider] Loadout/abilities: WIP The design is mostly a support craft. The arms and maneuverability gyro are quite sophisticated, and considering the pilot seat is a mass of bio-gel it can take extremely fast speeds without trauma to the pilot. The craft itself is merely a pod, four cubic meters, containing the impulse thrusters, life support systems, kinetic field dampeners, sensors, and fusion reactor. The Pod itself is equipped with a Plasmic Bolt Caster which can act as a Plasmic Flamer if the waste reservoirs are emptied. Significant heat has shown to be effective against the pathogens, and sterilization is sometimes required. The loadouts are completely tied to the manipulators. Eight in total, each are telescopic, reaching out to twelve meters. At the terminus, each are a type of automated computer system with its own sensors and microprocessors, unless the apparatus is designed specifically for offense/defense. Attachment Loadouts: Plasma Torch - Capable of cutting away mangled metal or cutting through panels or attaching metal scrap. Useful as a last resort melee weapon. Nano Sealant Nozzle- A coating nozzle thats partly electro conductive with nano filaments. Nano computer systems are designed to repair electrical systems and bypass programming pathways. Power and communications of mechs and computer systems can be restored or redirected for multiple purposes. Auto Hacking USP - Powerful security algorithms and operational system viruses overwhelm the unupdated systems and allow communication and control. A receiver allows for controls from safe controls on board the escort vessel. Security systems, locks, comms, weapons, can be remotely controlled from a safe distance. Coolant Spray - Fire suppressant and coolant spray of super-cooled chemicals. These chemicals have also been shown to be corrosive to carbon based organic tissue and so this spray has military applications, namely to slow down attackers while the chemicals break down cellular structures. Grasping Claw - Mostly used in pairs for better interior maneuverability. The claws have an operator included tool set for micro adjustments or the grasping claw can be used for melee. The claw has enough tensile strength to crush armor plate or tow broken mechs with a combination of its impulse engines. Chrono Stasis Module - Upsetting gravitational and magnetic forces and possibly even through dark matter disruption, a small area feels the passage of time slowly. This is crucial for emergency repairs but has a very practical use for slowing down hostile entities or environmental hazards. Omni Medical Tools - Essentially a field surgeon kit on the end of an arm, bio gels, emergency void shielding personnel units, auto surgery station, life monitoring, rations, everything needed to help a biologic survive trauma. It also has bio containment specimen tanks for scanning and identification. Plasma Cutter - A ranged weapon, fires a small precise line of super heated plasma. Used in engineering and construction, the output has been aplified for precise dissection of targets. Flamer - Promethium Jets fuel that can even burn in space, sticking to targets like tar. Very useful in killing swarms or softening harder targets, though range is somewhat desired. Concentrated Hi-Energy Lazer - This constant beam superheats atoms until the tissue soften and sloughs off, great for melting armor, and whatever is underneath. Concussive Blaster - A sudden rush of pressure in confined space is released as a seismic blast. The vibration of such force that it anything not bolted down is launched backward. The vibration has also been known to pulp organs. Mass Modulation Tractor Beam - Uses magnetic fields to form a tether, this tether manipulates objects as if they were weightless. It can excite the fields to launch items like a bullet. Storm Vulcan Cannon - Uses metallic projectiles in standard rapid fire mass drivers. Used against swarm entities along side the flamer.
