(OOC: I refuse to let something like school writing overwork prevent me from posting any longer! Even if it sucks... Even if the site seems to be near dead... Even though it's been over a week...

Hagane watched with undisguised interest as he saw the coffin open up and showed him what was inside. His clairvoyance had given him the shape of everything, but seeing it with his own eyes was something else. A real android, or at least what seemed to be an android if all the various components his clairvoyance was picking up was any indication. He'd never seen such a complicated piece of K-Tech before in his life. Hearing the android girl ask him for various information he was somewhat surprised, however it was Suzu's statement which most alarmed him.
"Huh!?" he said loudly initially in surprise. After thinking things over a few seconds though he facepalmed and let out a sigh. "Agh! Dammit, you're right... Something as complicated as her would probably have some sensitive components... Without a clean suit I do need to strip down..." Sighing a bit again, he took off his jacket and handed it to one of the waiting arms, and also began to work on stripping off his other clothes.
As he did this however, he remembered that the android girl had asked him for personal information. "Oh yeah, you need my info don't you? Alright, Name: Hagane Asagami, Height: 5'10", Weight: 154 lbs, Age: 23, Date of Birth: May 13, 2081, Next of kin: Fujino Asagami, No current physical health complications, Technological Experience: Finished graduating from Keneficus Academy with a Bachelor's degree in theoretical Keneficus Technology Application and have worked for 3 months in Keneficus Technology's K-Tech invention branch. Current projects include assisting with an electromagnet K-Tech device, and my own personal project to harness and create a viable Keneficus Technology using my own Candeoan gene."
Tossing his stripped clothes to the various claws having finished stripping while giving his information, Hagane then thought back to all the questions. Now that he stopped to think about it, Next of kin was a bit of a disconcerting question to ask...

Zeiva hesitated, she looked back to where she'd left her friends, but it seemed as though they'd gone to the washroom and now she was on her own. After another quick swig of her beer she set the half empty bottle on the counter top and followed the man towards the door. Her muscles tightened slightly, while her senses felt dimmed by the alcohol (she'd already had four bottles) the intuition of her training wasn't lost. Outside the cool air of winter bit harshly at her skin even through her sweater, now she realized she'd left her coat and scarf at her friends apartment, it was only one block up and she hadn't wanted to pay for a coat check.
"You better not be planning to try anything funny," She stayed a small distance from Terumi, he seemed nice enough, but in her line of work she wasn't beyond believing that scum lived everywhere and under every sort of guise. A part of her was curious of his intentions, but another part was screaming at her for leaving the bar. Yeah, she was a Beowulf, but she was much smaller and even she knew her limits. If this man wanted a fight she'd be as good as dead.
Why do that when I can do this with half the effort?

As soon as Hwan began making his moves, Alex knew something was going on. For one, he looked rather stressed before she spoke up, and his actions made it seem like he was trying to hide, or something similar. For two, while he did have a tendency to toy around with them from time to time when she was out, he was going further than usual. She knew she'd get an explanation soon, but for now, she decided to just play along and gain a lead over Alexander.
"You haven't come to see me in a while. I began to wonder if you'd forgotten about me, Hino." she replied softly in return, a bit of a playful smile on her face as she leaned into him some, going along with the hug. Whoever he was hiding from, she hoped they were enjoying the 'display'.
"So, what're you up to? You seem a bit on edge today." she continued, speaking a little quieter than before just to be sure nobody could hear. Her arms found their way around Hwan, to try and complete the image he seemed to want to make. Hopefully, things would resolve calmly, as she didn't intend to have things turn violent in the food court. It'd look bad when she went back to work.

Hearing her response, a bit of sadness ran through him. While she had adapted well to her choice of life style, it was a bit depressing just how well she had adapted. She had already long fallen into despair, and didn't seem to have any refuge outside of alcohol and horrible music. Perhaps it was things like this that fueled his war against the Beowulves. At the very least, they contributed some.
"Such a story cannot be heard without feeling sadness. Truly, Zeiva, you have not experienced the world as you should have. A young person such as yourself must reach beyond despair, and find the light that awaits! That light is joy, my dear, and it seems that you've lost sight of it." he continued, standing up and taking a look around the bar before beginning to head towards the door.
"If you would permit me a moment of your time, I would like to give you a glimpse of that light. If you wish to stay, I shall not force you, and I shall take my leave here. It is entirely up to you how you spend this night, Zeiva." he continued as he turned to face her, giving a gesture with his left forearm and hand for her to follow. Of course, thanks to his words it was obvious that it was not a demanding gesture. It was a light one, that would only be obeyed on a whim.

Re: Rex « Result #8 on Sept 28, 2010, 3:35am »
I've included elements to the intelligence package.
There are now example 'calibers' or types of weapons that should work in place now.
Addressed the strength limit as around 800 lb, around what is possible to obtain as a human being.
As for a literal death for Rex that'd be hard to do since he is a program in the end. But if you mean stopping his body, that would mean the destruction of the power supply in the chest, destruction of the sensor package to get rid of the link to the network and then the destruction of the head. If the solid-state drives alone are damage but the uplink remains active Rex can still function. Also as long as the Rex and Ray network hub stays operational a copy of Rex would stay online
Looks good, just need some clarification on some of Rex's statistics.
First off, what exactly is the range of his sensory package and exactly what can he do with it? Hacking is mentioned, but can he also do things like call cellphones, access the internet, or such?
Secondly, we need a more concrete description of how much punishment his body can take. Just something in terms of force or bullet caliber that would pierce it, along with just examples of weapons that would be able to do damage to Rex.
Third, you need to state the exact limits of Rex's strength. A simple number of how many pounds is his limit or an example of the heaviest object Rex has been able to lift would be fine.
Last, due to the doll joint system it's obvious Rex can take much more damage than a normal human. However does he have points that would cause instant "death"? Like a necessary component in his head along with an important component in the chest?

Rex « Result #10 on Sept 27, 2010, 3:50pm »
General Information
Full name: Rex-00 Nickname: Rex Age: 7 Months Gender: Male? Female? Up to you Race: Android, former mech Faction: Beowulf Birthplace: Het Bos underground robotics lab Das Boot under the lake Occupation: Former prototype Mech, currently prototype combat android and 13th Combat Operations Unit Member
Height: 5' 9'' Weight: 274 lb Eye color: Green Hair color and style: Green left long too waist Identifying marks: Robotic 'rabbit' ears Clothing: Rex is new to clothing in general thus doesn't have much to work with. Currently he has a small supply of the same outfit, a black padded jacket, a gray short sleeved shirt with the 13th insignia on the right shoulder, black jeans and finally boots to finish up the overall deal. Rex is otherwise limited to combat fatigues or gifts.
Powers
Type of Power: Robotic Body Manifestation: Rex's new body is vastly different then his previous fully armored mech body. This Combat Android which the extremely bored science team in the labs has personalized quite a bit is a step up from vat grown clones used in the police forces in terms of semi disposable soldiers.
Physically Rex's body is sturdy for it's size and his armor is able to withstand pistol rounds, shotgun pelts, shrapnel and major blunt trama. The experimental material is light, both a thermal and electric insulator and extremely durable. The only issue with the armor is it's expense, which being custom made to deal with several different powers tends to cause. High caliber or armor piecing weapons will cleaning cut through the armor. The ammo will have to reliably cut through atleast 2 cm of steel. It is however very effective in withstanding thermal and electrical attacks.
On top of the armor is the 'skin' section which is partially made up of carbon nanotubes as a bid to increase protection against much more penetrative forces and generally keeping Rex together in face of physical abuse. The skin cannot handle large caliber anti material rounds, most commonly the .50 caliber rounds. But any lesser rounds and shrapnel will be stopped quiet easily. The 'skin' also feels quiet realistic and if Rex's sensor ears are hidden he could possible pass for human.
The body is also based on a trial based 'doll joint' system, allowing for quick and non destructive removal of limbs if they are damage or caught on something. To aid in the said limb removal the joint will release a chemical compound on the surrounding carbon nanotube 'skin' which weakens it to be ripped or cut.
Aside from structural changes Rex has received a complete 'intelligence' package, including a more detailed sensor package at the cost of range, hacking and firewall tools along with access to the combined Rex and Ray network hub to provide additional processing power should it be required. A variety of vision settings such as thermal and night vision are also included along with the standard targeting system designed by Das Boot Labs.
The intelligence package itself includes a satellite uplink, 25 meter motion sensor, 100 meter passive radar, radio usage for both traditional military use and cell phone use. Through the satellite, Rex can access the internet, GPS systems and if available weather and spy satellites. If physically connected to a device Rex can also hack hard drives, access and modify their contents.
Physical strength is significantly lowered from Rex's previous body and while he wont be carrying his old railgun, he can carry and operate most crew operated weapons and pintle mounted such as heavy machine guns, grenade launchers on the go if rigged properly. By extension Rex is expected to carry the ammunition and if it's expected to be used by others the tripod, thus limiting combat loads. This is due mainly to the lack of space on Rex's body to carry and hold everything. This typically puts Rex's strength on par with most high end strength enhancing Candeoans. The maximum safe limit is around 800-827 lb, anymore risks damaging the limbs or overtaxing his servos.
Source: His own body
Personal
Personality: Rex is very inquisitive, if a bit naive and lacks most proper human etiquette. Rex also switches constantly through his very robotic tone and mannerisms to odd and sometimes random quirky moments. The key quirk however that marks Rex and his brothers is their undying love of tea. If one was to give Rex tea they would endear themselves greatly to the android, conversely if one was to take away his precious tea or worse yet destroy or block his access Rex's actions turn negatively.
Despite his sometime scatter brained nature or seemingly distracted by the odd item or display Rex is quite attentive and even if not looking like it is always doing 'something'. Even if that something is browsing a message board about tea.
Rex also refers to himself as 'he' as he is programmed to have a male voice thus responds accordingly. The change in body and voice however has not change this and despite differing external views Rex attributes himself to being male.
He also holds his 'siblings', creators and comrades in the Beowulfs very highly. There are notable exceptions but those vary and are normally rare. But there is little personal reason for Rex to be opposed to the Orochi nor side with the Beowulfs, at least politically. Thus aside from fighting Rex is rather neutral on the conflict as a whole.
History: Rex has a simple beginning, after a few years or research and practical testing Rex-0000 was the first test model to be rolled out from the Rex line of unmanned combat mechs that were below 3 meters in height. While his creators had a mixed reputation of being mad scientists, generally eccentric or just plain crazy they had good results with their test model and the team was proud of their killing machine. He was not without his issues, mainly programing wise. Quirks quickly began setting into Rex's personality program the main point being it's undying desire for tea, preferably hot. Now within the first month of start up the team was hopeful to stamp out the issues with the program but three months in they were not successful and it was seeming like Rex's basic personality program had evolved into a learning program. Fingers were pointed, yelling ensued but the team couldn't figure out what had gone wrong with the damned program and they were already charting out the mass production so they had to carry on. Within those months Rex has also become obsessed with tasting the glorious tea it so desired and after much nagging and showing some positive reinforcement through the promise of tea Rex was equipped with the ability to 'taste'. This feature also bolstered Rex's power supply by allowing him to convert certain organic matter into power.
Despite Rex's early rocky start the team copied his programing and began trying to adapt it for other mass production models while another scientist worked on a new program for another line called Rays. Despite both of their efforts the programs retained their desire and liking for tea making their budget increase another 3%. Again Rex proved it was a capable machine despite quirks and an odd glitch when Rexes verbally communicate with each other it sounds like they are constantly repeating 'tea'. But battlefield data was required before they could get more funding, resulting in Rex being put into the 13th Combat Operations Unit prior too their annihilation.
The large mech oddly hit it off well with the group of misfits and was quick and repeatedly put into use. For three months Rex served faithfully and rather happily with his unit with little issues until a major hit on a Beowulf prisoner transport unit. A unit consisting of two patrol mechs three vehicles and aerial support was hit by several cells in an effort to bust out some trouble makers from other nations that had been sent to Kenificus Vector for incarceration. Being the closest unit the platoon sized 13th moved in with all available assets and as expected met heavy resistance.
By the time the 13th arrived one patrol mech was disabled and set on fire, while the second was immobile, additionally all three of the vehicles were taken out or immobile leaving the prison transport surrounded while remaining Beowulf members tried to keep the Orochi at bay. The 13th quickly moved in while Rex was ordered to support the troops near the prison transport. During the course of the battle Rex provided fire support until a rather cocky Orochi member hit Rex's right leg with a plasma bolt which cut through the weakened armor along with detonating several unspent mini missiles. For his success the 13th hit him and the area around the cocky bastard with a high explosive rocket.
After the battle the prisoners were secured by the 1st and any survivors were mopped up, while the 13th checked their dead and wounded. The three squads that made up the 13th all suffered casualties, worse yet Rex was downed and had structural damage due to the missile detonations. Even with the personal loss several members were transferred due to their 'talents' being necessary elsewhere. This left the 13th with one ten man combat squad and the five man command elements back at HQ.
Rex was quickly returned to Das Boot for 'repairs' but the science teams and mechanics weren't able to do much with the state of it's body and the lack of any free Rex or Ray bodies compounded their problems. Out of desperation and a bit of cooperation with another project Rex was given a personalized combat android body, to make use of Rex's experience and quickly get him back onto the field for more field tests. Despite the very different nature of Rex's new body and the feminine features, he has had little issue adapting to it along with the fact he can now have tea again.
There is also the fact he is being returned to the 13th as an emergency measure to help bolster their numbers, along with continuing development on his combat protocols. Rex's new body also expanded his use, a less bulky sensor package and the humanoid form let him stay in formation with them instead of constantly being left for fire support or being hauled around by car.
Other: Rex Series of Unmanned Combat Mechs: From a basic perspective the Rex series is a miniaturization of the current generation of mechs, this also has lead to the removal of a pilot to reduce space requirements. Primary use is infantry support and anti vehicle use through railgun and other weaponry. While Rex unit share combat information to build better experience and tactics should an attack fail.
Ray Series of Unmanned Amphibious Combat Mechs: Rays are the personal watch dogs and protectors of the Das Boot research facility and by extension the park they're located under. Despite their role as 'defenders' they are mainly used as a preemptive strike or in the lake. Sale of Rays are dependent on views of the need for Amphibious mechs.
Weapons: Rex is able to use any and all infantry use weapons and thanks to his targeting system and strength can use them in ways a human wouldn't. The following are special ordered or made weapons for Rex
