[INDENT][h3]Character Concept[/h3][hr.]
[color=999999][i]Stark Industries was one of the primary weapon manufacturers for the United States government which cemented its place in the American market for years to come. From this continued collaboration came a great deal of wealth to Stark family which greatly shaped the views and beliefs of a young Anthony Stark. With great power came a lot of money to be made and that was the mantra Stark took into his reluctant take over of Stark Industries when his parents were killed in a car accident. Where many thought the young business owner would fail, he instead soared bringing the company into a new golden age of business with R&D projects headed by Stark himself. 

With this success came a lot of booze, money and enemies which cumulated after a demonstration done in a supposed safe zone of Vietnam. During the war Stark was onsite showing off a competitor to the Howitzer artillery cannon. During the demonstration the camp was attacked and Stark fled only to run into a booby trap and get knocked unconscious. When awoken, Stark was in a cave only kept company by his university inspiration Ho Yinsen. He also noticed the large metal chest plate he was wearing. Before Stark could take it off, Ho explained their situation; the chest plate constructed by Ho was now the only thing keeping deadly shrapnel away from Tony's heart. He relayed their captors orders that Stark was to build and manufacture weapons for them now. Initially Stark complied, beginning construction but as his body healed his mind began to look for a way out. Hidden in plain sight the duo of Ho Yinsen and and Tony began to construct a suit of armour to be used as their vessel of escape. 

What they created was a mechanical nightmare, barely functional but enough to accomplish their goals. The most stunning aspect of the device was it's ability to fool Tony's captors into believing it was some form of artillery. The fateful night finally came for the suit to have its maiden voyage. Tony suited up and the duo began the start up procedure, charging the capacitors while their captors lay unaware. In a burst of chaos Tony broke free from his confinement with Ho following behind. Tony was a one man army as he laid waste to the camp he had been kept in, leading Ho to their freedom. The two managed to get to the edge of the camp before Ho was shot through the gut from a ricochet off the armour. After a few words Tony left his friend who in turn tried to hold off the encroaching forces.
