Battle Drone Spike

Description

Standing at 7ft Combat Drone Spike has the appearance of a metallic black armor plated humanoid. His face has the design of a human wearing a helmet with the face exposed and utilizing polymetal technology is able to display a variety of human emotions. His eyes are two crystal blue flat screens that seem to almost absorb rather than reflect light. His body is sleek, narrow and aerodynamically designed. He has a large sword like a giant two handed katana forged of dark gray plasteel sheathed over his back along side a black two handed assault rifle, black sun glasses over his cold eyes and a cigar almost constantly smoking away in his mouth.

Background

Spike is one of the first children of the living machine known as Nighthawk or Angelica Storm. Created as a defense system for hostile intruders spike was given free will. Even as a metallic slug like drone he wielded heavy weapons with a take no shit attitude. Studying ancient mechanics and history he stole the voice of video game hero Duke Nukem for his own and developed his own personal Harley Davison. After his destruction in the Star Confederation the scientist Rikona rebuilt him as a humanoid cyber ninja, though he's still packing heavy weapons. Spike's always been a ladies man and he's never had trouble getting a date, ask around almost any girl would love to date him. Why the cigar you ask? No one really knows its like he was born with it, perhaps machines really do have a sense of humor or maybe he just can't quit.

Weapon Skills

Melee: Spike is now highly trained in close quarters fighting. He can be a little bulky but he's not that slow, he's still getting use to how it all really works but he's downloaded the latest software. He's studied the fighting style archives of the heavy hand and various action flicks to maintain a stylish Katana style

Ranged: This is his true talents, laser cannons, missile launchers, high energy discharge, he's good at them all and why wouldn't he be? They're built in.

Powers

Spike doesn't really have much of what one could call special powers. He's got a built-in stealth generator, jump jets, digital eye scanner, targeting systems, energy shield, personal camouflage holograms and a nano repair component.

Weakness

Ultimately he's a machine with all their strengths and weaknesses. He needs to recharge to keep himself going, he can only hold so much ammo, and he should stay well away from any rust monsters.

Combat Style

Spike has two confirmed combat styles, long-range strike trooper or close combat assassin. In the first he often reveals his hidden weapon systems, missile launchers and assault rifle and lets fire on distant targets willing to use scorched earth tactics. In the second mode he activates his stealth cloak and either uses his plasteel blade or goes hand to hand.

Exactly what Spikes armaments are haven't been fully documented, indeed they keep evolving anyway. What's known is this.

  • Twin barreled Laser Cannons on both arms.
  • Twin rising shoulder rocket pods for massive rocket fire
  • Chest launched long range rockets
  • Transformable arm cannon
  • Two handed long range rapid fire assault rifle capable of firing energy formed bullets that explode on impact
  • Large Plasteel Katana, though two handed in design is wielded in one hand
  • If heavier firepower is required he will utilize a two handed 5 barreled DPU firing Minigun
