Known, commonly used mainstay tech:
-Powersuit:
Like most tinkers, Ifrit’s pride is his powersuit. It is built with 3d printed parts, which allows it to be incredibly small for all that it carries. Each component uses redundant solid state LiPo batteries or graphene super-capacitors with integrated computers for analyzing his body movements so that the built in electroactive polymer (EAP) muscles can magnify his strength, the muscles are dense and make him around 2x as strong. Essentially, he will be above average human strength, but the low weight makes him not able to compete with any true brawler, since his suit doesn’t carry much momentum, but he is still strong and able to pack a punch. Because the armor is made of extremely high yield polymers it is incredibly strong for both its weight and size, coated in fire/heat resistant polymers. The extremely high strength to weight ratio of the suit allows Ifrit to climb and jump with superhuman strength, but he can’t fly or anything too crazy. The hands and feet use high grip polymers that make him not quite as good of a climber as a gecko, but with the help of upward momentum he can scale buildings quickly. Although the suit is coated in fire resistant polymers to prevent it from burning, it is still vulnerable to high temperature situations since it produces a lot of heat and is prone to overheating if it goes for too long without the opportunity to cool itself. It is certainly extremely durable, since it is made out of polymers that make spidersilk, Kevlar, and High Molecular Weight Polyethylene look like twine. Bullet proof, and against conventional threats slash proof, it is hard to ouncture but it is thin and has limited padding so if you hit hard enough Ifrit himeslf is still quite breakable on the inside, as he has no way to limit g forces.
All over the suit are ports where smoke seems to leak out of. Ifrit can redirect the same vents to carry actual chemical agents but they are often used for the effect to give him a smoky afterimage, largely aesthetic but it can also be used for stealth since a lot of smoke can be generated to mask his position. His whole body is sealed inside this suit, and he carries reserve oxygen, co2 scrubbers, and chemical/bio agent resistant air filters so he can breathe. It should be noted that his suit is not always sealed, but it can be, such that no chemical or bacteria on the outside should be able to get in when sealed. The suit is designed to a tolerance of at least 1 atm of pressure on the inside, so hypothetically Ifrit could survive in space although his suit is relatively radiation resistant, it isnt built to handle the extreme temperatures of space and holds a very limited amount of air in reserve (3 minutes) and would not be recommended for such applications.
-Technically the same device, but these are sub-modules. First, protein based tranquilizer darts, shot from the wrists. Ifrit has more than one type of dart and can adjust dosage on the fly to ensure he doesn’t do permanent damage by overdosing a target. For example, some darts are fast acting to (relatively) quickly disable muscle movements, and others are for long term incapacitation. He can also adjust the firing velocity. Keep in mind that I am taking a relatively realistic take on how these drugs act on human bodies, and even the fastest acting agents take minutes to actually have any effect on a target. Unless of course you don’t mind totally overdosing, but that would kill them and Ifrit is, for now, a good guy.
-Also wrist mounted, are nozzles for both smoke/aerosol sprays, things like super pepper spray or even incapacitating agents, or prions. There is also a containment foam launcher, but its capacity is very limited because of the relatively slim profile of Ifrits suit.
-(recent addition) On the back side of his helmet is a smoothly integrated ridge which can actually be detached and reatached to Iftrits hand. It is an extremeley durable, unfolding baton for close quarters combat. Part of it has Taser prongs, the output strength of which can be adjusted on the fly from inside the suit.
-(recent addition) Usually on his back, Ifrit carries a handful of "grenades," which essentially high density canisters filled with smoke or chemical agents he may need in the field.
-What suit would be complete without a grappling hook? This grappling hook has no retraction mechanism however, and has a weak deployment mechanism. It functions more like a harpoon but uses super strong and thin polymer amide cord. More for utility/tying targets up, but rope is always useful.
-The last trick on his suit is the supercomputer built into his helmet. It isn’t like Armsmasters combat analyzer, but it does use DNA hard drives to store a vast quantity of information in a tiny space. He has stored essentially the entire internet which he incrementally updates daily, but particularly all the info from the PRT and
parahumans.net so he can quickly get information on any targets using his built in HUD in his suit. He was given special access by the PRT to be able to store information on a personal drive because of the relatively un-hackable nature of the DNA based computer.
-variants: Like any tinker, adaptability is Ifrit’s strength, and he has an advantage since his suits are relatively inexpensive to manufacture via 3d printing. He has multiple suits for different purposes. Like a truly fireproof suit with very little muscle but can withstand high temps for long periods. A containment foam based suit. A sniper mod for his tranq launcher. A brawler based suit that is heavy and Ifrit has strong distaste for because of its lack of mobility. A flight based suit with unfolding EAP wings, only leg based artificial muscle, and a reduction in other capabilities. A scuba suit, basically what it says on the tin.
-Drones: Although Ifrit has a myriad of drones, he almost always uses two for the same purposes and he only has two AI. The Ai are actually very unsophisticated and were not designed by Ifrit. They are unable to engage in combat on their own and are essentially only capable of limited navigation on their own, like staying in an area, keeping a view on a target, or going from point a to b. Most specific maneuvers require direct control by Ifrit via his HUD helmet.
The first is named Pixie, and is a small drone in the standard quadcopter configuration. Only about 1 foot long and 10 inches wide, it is fitted with a low capacity tranq dart (6 dart) launcher, and a handful of capsules to hold smoke grenades or chemical agents. It is extremely fast however and is primarily used to scout out enemy locations, gather information, and occasionally attempt to catch a target off guard with a tranq dart. It can’t do much besides go from point a to b without Ifrit’s direct control. Pixie is very quiet for a drone, and is suited to stealth operations. It is a favorite tactic of Ifrit to use Pixie to confuse an enemy by using smoke for example to make it appear as though there are additional parahumans present.
The second drone is named Griffin, and is actually quite large at about 8 feet by 7. Also a standard quadcopter, Griffin is typically either landed nearby or hovering high above the position of engagement. Strong enough to carry one average sized person, it can be used to deploy an individual rapidly (although Ifrit actually hates doing this since you have to lay down suspended in the drone’s underbelly, or in the case of Ifrit himself his suit has a locking mechanism on each of his hands and his back, any of which will hold him) or extract an individual in need of medical attention. Pixie is usually carried by Griffin, who serves essentially as a supply vehicle or pack mule to Ifrit. Griffin carries extra batteries, ammunition, and medical supplies as well as Pixie. Griffin is mounted with a standard containment foam dispenser which Ifrit can use to cover a downed target provided it is air accessible. Griffin also has a larger tranq dart "sniper rifle" but it is difficult to use at range because of air currents, stability when flying in the air, and because Griffin is both relatively slow and noisy, plus the cost of getting Griffin engaged in combat (it isn’t super durable) is often higher than keeping it in reserve. It serves as air surveillance with a suite of sensors like infrared and the like. Griffin is quiet enough to where it won’t be detected by most people when high above, but if it attempts to get in close it will be quite noisy and obvious.
