Colossus By Design: The Clothes Make the Soldier

"This is General Rasczak of the Global Union of Divisions Military & Civil Defense. Today, recruits, we'll be going over the latest technology you'll be training to use for both civil and wartime conflicts. Take notes, because you'll be tested on these. Hard."

[S-Death Materials - (BE-CEPR-S a.k.a. "Beekeeper") Bodily Enhancement & Civil Enforcement Protective Reactive Suit]


This here, ladies and gentlemen of both organic and synthetic nature, is the Beekeeper. Now don't be fooled by its name. It is NOT something to take lightly. The Bee Keeper is your standard issue civil defense uniform. I urge you all to refrain from scoffing at its simplistic appearance, even though it merely looks like a scaly grey leotard

Although it's not as fancy-schmancy as your higher end suits, the Beekeeper is no laughing matter. This armour is the only piece of clothing equipment you will be allowed to wear in non-wartime civilian areas aside from your standard issue Titanium-B Laminate helmet, boots, and Nano-Weave Kevlar upper body padding. Do NOT be fooled, though. Even at this most basic level, the Beekeeper is easily capable of dispersing light plasma shots and medium velocity ballistics without any noticeable damage, unless the shots were from another user of this armour system's grade or higher. Even then, it'll take a few rounds to put ya down.

In addition to the protective properties of this suit, the Nano-Weave Force Conduits interwoven into the scale-like patterns will multiply your body's natural limits by a factor of five, allowing you to run, lift, and jump five times greater and longer. That means being able to lift half a ton, jumping forty feet across, and running as fast as a cheetah, all whilst keeping it up for hours on end without tiring. In addition to these heightened physical attributes, the Scale Mesh has padding around the feet and hands to allow you to climb surfaces like a goddamn gecko.

However, all of this is dependent on your Ki-Interface Engine that is implanted throughout the suit layers. This miracle technology is what keeps the suit running its godly power. It may be the toughest humanity has to offer, but if you take enough damage, you're eventually gonna be as vulnerable as a soldier from the 21st century. So keep don't think taking extra bullets makes you safe!

[S-Death Materials - (FE-AR a.k.a. "Fear") Full-Enhancement Armor Resource]


Ah, the Fear. Spooky, ain't it, recruits? I know that I sure was spooked upon hearing it. The basic idea behind it is pretty much the same as the Beekeeper. Just cranked up to a demonically high degree. But you won't be seeing much use for this, oh no. This suit is only to be used during times of active war, or for elite spec ops teams.

The under-suit is designed the same way as the Beekeeper, but it's black. Black is cool. And the whole thing also entirely covers your head. Don't worry, recruits, the Scale Mesh allows air in. Also, the materials used for it in the Fear are of a higher grade, meaning that the protection and multiplication of physical attributes is now ten times that of your standard squishy human or synthetic.

On top of that, all wearers will be outfitted with Titanium-B Laminate armor plating on their heads, upper bodies, arms, and legs, further multiplying protection. This stuff is layered around your physical musculature and/or lack thereof with regards to our Synthetic soldiers to be as flexible as possible whilst also maintaining maximum protection. Sorta like how Atlantis's fancy flying turtle's shell works.

But don't think you can just put these things on. For you Humans, you'll need to undergo some major genetic and cybernetic augmentation procedures to upscale your body's limits, while you Synthetics need to be completely rebuilt out of stronger parts save for your artificial intelligence matrices.

However, once you guys go through this procedure, you'll effectively be able to stop a speeding car with your bare hands, leap across a gorge, and outrun said cars you could stop with your bare hands.

Again, keep your damn heads down, or you're just a regular ol' supersoldier after taking enough fire!

"And that's it recruits. Unfortunately, the higher levels of protective gear are restricted, in case you mere privates of the negative-class were having any funny ideas. Just remember this: we give you the guns, the clothes, and the training, but you better damn well make good use of all that in the field. Oh, and watch those damn energy meters"
