Originally posted by Duskmantle Name: Rhinoceros 'Armageddon' Plate - or R-Plating Description: An incredibly dense frontal armor mount for either an exosuit or vehicle, colored steel grey with black trimming, paired with an equivolent size of superthruster that must be retrofitted onto the suit. Armor-Equivolents: From the front, it's equal to an armored vehicle. From the sides, a standard vehicle (IE automobile), and from behind stark butt naked. Abilities: Ram - Pretty self explanitory. The user is launched forward at a devastating speed after an initial buildup, capable of slamming through any adobe, brick, or wood structures with ease, and able to bust through metal walling dependent on the type and thickness. Durasteel at 5in thick or more is too much for it. The initial buildup requires the user to be running at start, and can reach a maximum speed of 60 mph, which is why an exosuit is required. Jettison - If the user's suit is too damage or compromised, an optional 'eject' is possible, forcibly jettisoning the plates like a shotgun blast in front of the user in an arc of 120*, up to 5 feet away. These plates can be lethal if they strike a person, due to blunt force and weight, but cannot go through walls. Conditional abilities (optional): Capable of breaching a building, completely nullifying first line defenses and massacring anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the ram. Limitations: The 'Ram' ability can only go in one direction, lasts for ten seconds and can only be changed by 15* in either direction of the original starting position. While the suit is incredibly efficient and runs off of solar energy, only the energy for a single ram is stored. This is not improvable without compromising the durability of the ram itself. It takes an hour to recharge energy after the use. The entirety of the suit also does not provide any back protection and slight side protection, and can not be worn with other exosuit armor. Only clothing or light armor is compatible. Conditional limitations (optional): If it hits mud, quicksand, etc, it will become stuck and the ram stopped. It /is/ possible to both disrupt, alter the direction or otherwise stop the charge if the right hit is placed at the right location, or the user is killed. If the user is killed while charging, the suit will power off and everyone gets to laugh as the corpse does a cartoony roll into a gory splatter. How does it work: A bare bones exosuit is hooked up to have a massive thruster system on the back, with wiring connecting to a heavy, gigantic shield to the front. While running, a meter will build up until it hits green, the thruster cannot be activated. Once activated, the user will ramp up speed rapidly over the next two seconds into a wrecking ball of destruction, slamming through any obstacle in their path. (See Limitations.) The suit is still usable as a mobile barrier, even after the ram, and can jettison its plating off or simply turn and hide in a corner. Flavor text: Originally designed to be both an extremely fun and quick way to demolish old structures, the Rhino suit was beloved among demolition teams, often being deployed in teams of ten with the men competing for how much internal damage they would do to the structures before they collapsed. Once such destruction was witnessed by a news team and broadcasted, and the suit was quick to be snatched up by private military companies all across the galaxy, thus ruining it's innocence and turning it into a deadly weapon, earning it the nickname 'Armageddon'. "We used to worry about breach missions. You always had to draw sticks to see who was the unlucky fuck that had to kick in the door. With this baby? You /make/ the door." - PMC Sergeant Jolian, 'Safari Blossoms' Referenced Technologies (optional): N/A Attainability: [OPEN][size=-2] (Previously Semi-Closed) (Armor like this is extremely hard to obtain ICly, keep this in mind)[/size] [ Unofficial Helps - Inspiration - - Shield Reference - - Charge ]
