a_monetized_mindNemain
Size: S, 10 meters
Terrain compatibility:
Air: Yes
Ground: Yes (strongest here)
Water: Yes
Space: Yes
Replacement for Cethlenn
During Jen's (admittedly quite brief) stay at VIPER, they've put their technical knowledge to the work refining and upgrading Cethlenn. It sports a brand new look, more firepower, and a special ability Jen hasn't had time to get the hang of. It's faster than before, despite the size increase, but it's a bit more frail as well.
While Cethlenn was armed with a pistol and its nanobots, Nemain carries plenty with it. Each fist has a plasma projector so she can deliver the force of a beam rifle shot with a punch, and for further melee combat ability it carries a collapsible beam glaive on its back. Closed the glaive takes up about as much space as a baton, though even then its blade can be turned on for an awkward knife-like weapon.
In terms of ranged weapons Nemain carries a bullpup electromagnetic rifle, which can fire either a powerful long-ranged single shot, a short burst, or full auto rock n'roll. It has an underslung grenade launcher for dealing with big tough guys, which can also shoot empty cans of her nanobots for doing tricky things.
Nemain can fly for short distances, and alter its course in air, but it's not really built for sustained flight. It retains the grappling cables that Cethlenn used.
Finally, it adds a new movement method based around overloading and overheating its artificial musculature. This lets Nemain move unreasonably fast for short periods of time, but causes serious damage (broken knees, torn 'tendons', etc if overused. After coming out of hyperspeed it tends to be glowing red and needs to vent off steam to cool down. Nemain moves so fast then and is capable of such high accelerations that anything less than the most focused and alert human mind cannot keep up; In her current state, Jen can only move using this method in straight lines, and cannot use firearms. Someone with a mind free of material attachments might be able to perfect it...but Jen ain't that.
Putting hard numbers to it isn't real useful for this game, but it's capable of easily breaking the sound barrier with that movement speed, if not reaching/approaching hypersonic speeds. Basically, it's Double Image.
Jen gains a similar sprinting movement ability while on foot, though not being a giant robot it's correspondingly weaker, and has the same limitations. It'd max out at more like 60 mph for a few seconds.
