Wow just made a 20 mins walk home and I got loads of ideas.
Gotta put them down fast.
First been thinking about the icegiant character design.
Jeede (temp name):
- Organic humanoid covered with a hard, flexible armored body layer.
- Sharp claws.
- The giant is kept alive by a blood like red substance that is visible on the outside of the armor layer. The substance is generated in the neck and head area and can be super cooled and fired as red plasma against enemies at long ranges. The plasma will stun the target and attach itself like napalm and supercool the attacked area. Short term exposure is lethal to must human class units.
- Cutting off the head of the giant will also cut of the supply of the red substance to the rest of the body and killing it. The head will keep a part of its neural functions. It is not yet known how much. But accidents with the human prototype project “Loke” suggests that the heads have more functions than was first believed.
I will add more ideas to this giant unit when I have it ready.
Loke - prototype unit (first counter measure by the Ragnarok order, highly experimental):
-
This unit was created in a first desperate attempt to keep the giants at bay when they were threatening to tear down the gates of Valhalla. using this prototype weapon the humans managed to push back the giants for a while and buy time to build up defenses.
After having managed to defeat an ice giant by luring it into a trap with small nuclear explosives, the head was used in an experiment to power a mecha class fighter that was designed based on weakness studies performed on the trapped ice giant.
Experiments had shown that the substance that was generated in the head of the ice giant could actually strengthen a special metal design based on the ice giant body armor. It was possible to recreate an artificial material as hard and powerful as that of the ice giant.
The head was intergrated in the mecha design and succesfully fueled the mecha and providing it with an unlimited power supply.
The ice giants launched a furious attack soon after the prototype was finished and thus there was no time to test it. The creator of the prototype Ilidias loki warned that the brain functions of the head could lead to disaster if not controlled by a strong mind.
The prototype unit was piloted by a brave but dark soul and although very successful in slaying the giants litterally ripping them apart in a bloodthirsty rage as the substance was creating an overflow in the unit and sadly making the pilot insane.
After the giants were defeated he turned to his own and killed 113 men, woman and children before defeated by the fortress guard. 40 of the slayen were elite warriors.
-
Beserker mode: Inspired by the unfortunate breakdown of the first prototype. Now being able to activate a controlled rage for 30 seconds, doubling the strength, agility and rendering the armor almost impenetrable. This weapon is by far the strongest of all but only pilots with strong mental abilities and a pure heart can endure it. Going beyond 30 seconds can result in an uncontrollable rage and has not been risked yet.
More information to come.
