Power

Magic negation: One of the primary properties of Nth metal is its ability to disrupt and negate magical properties and dimensional shifting. As such, blows from Riot’s shield and sword are capable of dissolving magical barriers, disrupting magical effects such as mind control, and even harming ghosts. This also includes anything Riot is inadvertently thrown into, such as an ally with magical powers, as his entire shield and generator are comprised of Nth metal. Furthermore, any spell that is cast within five feet of him will fail, as the presence of so much Nth metal negates the sorcerous energies. He does possess a means of expanding this bubble, at a cost. As a side effect of constant contact with Nth metal, this effect remains in a reduced capacity even without his suit. When not wearing his suit, Riot has a resistance to being directly affected by magic, beneficial or otherwise. A powerful enough magical source can override this however. The end result of this ability is that any enchantment or healing spell or curse is only half as effective as it otherwise would be.

Equipment

Mk1 Godkiller: Riot’s primary offense and defense, and indeed the source of his powers. This suit completely encases him, leaving him sealed within his own environment. It has a variety of systems, however can only supply enough power for a set number of them at once. He is able to customize it’s loadout between missions, but not while in battle, and some loadouts are incompatible with others. As of now, he only has one loadout, described below. He will however eventually gain access to more pieces of equipment, granting him more flexibility in combat. His suit grants him several advantages as detailed below. The suit is comprised primarily of Titanium alloys and has a tensile breaking strength of 10,000 psi or 10 tons per square inch. However it is still vulnerable to excessive concussive forces and excessive tension. As such, the suit can be pulled apart long before it could be punctured or crushed, and the man within can be injured without damaging the suit.
Riot's suit is his primary piece of equipment, and everything marked with an asterisk (*) is either partially or entirely dependent on the suit.  

*Sub - Mk1 Godkiller/Nth Metal user: Increased strength - Thanks to both the presence of the Nth metal and powered assistance from the suit. Riot can lift up to five tons.


*Flight: As Nth metal is capable of negating gravity, Riot is able to fly without many of the weight constraints that would otherwise hinder him, allowing him to achieve great speeds with minimal thrust– Top speed depends on his loadout, but with a minimum weight, ie. only his shield/sword, wrist mounted gun, and Type 0 generator, he is capable of keeping up with fighter jets (Mach 2/3) However he is not able to instantly speed up to that point. It takes approximately 30 seconds for him to go from a standstill to these speeds.  He is capable of shutting down all other systems for a short boost of speed or maneuverability, allowing him approximately 15 seconds of speeds capable of outpacing standard heat seeking missiles (Mach 5) however if he is too high when doing so, he will only have the oxygen in his helmet while his air recycler is shut down for the extra power. As such, Riot is often holding his breath at these speeds and doing so more than twice in five minutes brings an extreme risk of him passing out as the suit can only protect him from so much of the G-forces at work. As a side effect of his suit's ability to negate it's own gravity, he can float an inch off the ground and use the thrusters on his back and the backs of his legs to effectively "skate" across any solid surface like a person on roller blades. While this technique uses his thrusters, it also uses his own skating motions, and as such he is only capable of speeds you would see on the highway, capping out at approximately 85 mph.

*Wrist gun: A twin barreled gun mounted on the back of Riot’s right forearm. The original parts were taken from a pair of AK-47’s, and it was built more for reliability than anything else. It utilizes an ammo feed linking to an experimental “Null-space” storage container on the small of his back. The technology involved creates essentially a pocket dimension where ammunition is stored without weight or size constraints. While it takes no energy to store the ammo, it does take energy to pull it from storage. As such, this does count as a system that requires power whenever it is being fired. Riot has access to three types of ammunition, which he can cycle through as needed, however he does need to empty the internal magazines before it will fire the new ammunition. Each of these magazines holds 35 rounds and are located on either side of his forearm. The twin barrels of this gun will always fire simultaneously, and cannot be fired one at a time. This weapon is not an accurate one, and as such Riot tends to “spray and pray” when he uses it, though more often than not it is merely a feint to give him an opening to use his shield. Once the magazines are emptied, it takes five seconds for the auto-cycler to reload with whichever ammo type he has selected. He cannot fire during this time.
-          Rubber bullets – his primary ammunition for most threats. Nonlethal, but painful.
-          “Foam rounds” – pellets that explode on contact or immediately before if desired, releasing a rapidly expanding foam that immediately sticks to whatever it touches. 15 pellets hitting the same area will expand to a three square foot blob of foam that weighs roughly 75 lbs. and requires a net force of 1 ton per square foot to break
-          Explosive shells – Armor piercing explosive rounds. A last resort to an extreme threat.

This container is completely encased in Nth metal because it is a part of his generator, however were it to be ruptured, the resulting explosion would be catastrophic as thousands of rounds of ammunition suddenly attempt to exist within a few square inches of the same space. If such an event doesn’t outright kill Riot, it would certainly be life threatening.

*Type 0 magic nullifier: A blocky armored generator on Riot’s back, this device is encased in Nth metal and is designed to make use of the metal’s main property: It’s disruption of magic. Riot can reroute power to this generator to expand his radius of magic nullification from five feet to roughly a city block. However in order to do so, he sacrifices almost everything else: He cannot fly while this generator is active nor for roughly five seconds after he deactivates it, and he cannot use his "skating" technique while it is active. He cannot run while it is active, however he can walk. While it is active, he cannot draw additional ammunition from his Null-space storage unit, however he can use what is already in the magazine of his gun. This means that once he activates the nullifier, he cannot change ammunition, however he can set the weapon to be loaded with any type he has available once he turns off the generator. Essentially, the playing field is leveled when this generator is active: Riot and his sorcerous opponent must rely solely upon their natural skills and talent to win. That being said, this effect is useless on those who do not use magic to fuel their abilities, and as an interesting side effect, it renders ghosts and other similarly incorporeal entities touchable by conventional means for as long as they remain within its aura.

Nth metal shield and sword: Affixed to Riot’s left forearm is a large Nth metal tower shield. It is four feet tall, a foot and a half wide and excluding the trim is an inch thick, with a slight curve in its face in order to better deflect incoming projectiles. In addition, there is a notch at the top in the center, making a V shape that perfectly fits with the hilt in his sword when it’s sheathed. This shield, while Riot’s main defense, is also his main offense. His style of hand to hand combat involves deflecting with the shield, drawing out his opponent’s defense with his gun, and then delivering a rapid series of crushing blows with the shield. The shield features a scabbard attached to the inside, running down the center so that it is behind his forearm when the shield is worn. The shield itself is indestructible, but the wielder must still be able to ride out the force of any blow it deflects. Riot's sword is a simple hand and a half bastard sword with a wide tip, designed for slashing rather than stabbing. It is kept in a scabbard behind his shield when not in use.

Sub - Nth Metal User: Healing factor – Nth metal affords those in close contact with it a sort of healing factor. As Riot spends the vast majority of his time completely encased in this metal, he is similarly affected. Broken bones will heal in roughly 24-48 hours depending on the severity of the break, and cuts roughly an inch deep will be healed within an hour. This effect is not permanent, and would fade from Riot were he to be separated from his suit for more than 24 hours, however it would not immediately fade all at once. After 24 hours away from his suit, his healing factor will begin to degrade at a rate of 25% per hour until he is brought in contact with Nth metal once more, where it will stop declining and slowly recover back to its original strength at the same rate it declines so long as he remains in contact with the metal. Riot can act as a sort of medic by letting others take advantage of this healing factor so long as he can ensure that they remain in contact with his suit for more than an hour. This is most commonly done by him simply touching them while wearing the suit, however its applications in combat are severely limited by the need for constant contact.

Skills

Exceptional:

Robotics: Lukas is first and foremost a skilled engineer, capable of designing and building modules for his suit as well as repairs when necessary. He is world renown for his intellect in his field, known as a child prodigy. He regularly travels the world as a civilian, attending conferences and robotics conventions both to give speeches and observe them.

Training: Riot has undergone military level training and as such is a skilled hand to hand fighter. His fighting style is very similar to that of a boxer, though he uses his shield as much as possible.

Ambidextrous: Riot is capable of using either hand equally well for any task.

Non-exceptional:

Cooking: Riot is a surprisingly good cook, though he does not like to show it. If he cooks for you, you’re someone very important to him: As a friend or as something more.


Physical Weaknesses


Human: Without his suit, Riot is nothing more than an intelligent human. Furthermore, his suit can only absorb so much kinetic energy. It is entirely possible for a blow to knock him unconscious without damaging his armor, especially if he’s been thrown around or otherwise subjected to high levels of G-forces.


Crippled: Riot’s biggest secret and his main weakness is that he’s actually unable to walk on his own. His armor allows him to walk, run, and fight like normal, but without it he is confined to a wheelchair. He also has a pair of crutches stashed in a compartment in the wheelchair for when he has to ditch it.


Power supply: As mentioned in individual equipment and power descriptions, Riot's suit only has so much power available. He is capable of routing power to any system or systems he wishes, however some systems are incompatible. For example, when his Type 0 generator is running, he cannot fly or run, as the device in incompatible with those systems As a fail safe, he cannot activate the Type 0 generator unless both feet are planted on something he can stand on, however he can walk and lightly jog once it is active. Another example is his speed burst: Nothing else can function during those 15 seconds besides what is needed to maneuver. This includes his oxygen supply, and he has approximately a single breath of air in his helmet to use during this time, however if he's already used it, he cannot get another breath until after he has deactivated his speed boost and reactivated his other systems. Furthermore, Riot's suit runs on an experimental fission battery. It is capable of sustaining him for 24 hours in a non combat situation, 12 hours of continuous flight, or 6 hours of constant combat. He is capable of carrying a single spare with him, but must either leave his suit to replace the battery or rely on help from someone else.

Repairs: As Riot fights and takes damage, stress fractures inevitably begin to form on the internal framing of the suit, and occasionally the titanium skeleton and various circuits must be either repaired or replaced. Riot diligently checks his suit a few times a week, and on average has to replace parts on a monthly basis.

Tensile Stress: The joints in Riots suit are nowhere near as strong as the outer carapace. As such, the suit can be pulled apart with less force than it would take to damage his outer shell. 5000 psi or 5 tons per square inch worth of tension on any joint is enough to rip it from the suit.

Concussive Force: While impressive, Riots suit has only a minimal amount of compensation in place for concussive forces. As such, a large enough explosion can still rattle Riot around inside his suit, which can cause damage. While a conventional grenade is not enough to knock him out, one detonating point blank is like a punch to the chest. If multiple were detonated in rapid succession, he would be staggered until he could catch his breath. The larger the explosion, the greater the chance of injury. Furthermore, a hard enough blow to the head can still give him a concussion or knock him out even if it wouldn't damage his armor.

Mental Weaknesses

The Law Must Be Upheld: Riot is first and foremost an upholder of the law. He will not yield when it comes to such matters. He will even attempt to bring in friends and allies if they have committed a serious enough crime, even if it means fighting them. If he ever breaks this code, it is an extremely rare and exceptional occasion.

Selfless To A Fault: Riot is accustomed to being able to tank blows that his companions cannot. He is also absolutely dedicated to protecting others. As such, he has developed a mental state that sees him leaping to shield others even to his own detriment.



Personality
Riot is a bit of an elitist so to speak. He has a hard time trusting people and has a very strong view on what is right and what is wrong, and dislikes those who don’t agree with him. As such, he can seem very standoffish most of the time, but he is doggedly loyal to those he befriends and will go to any lengths to help them. Riot may be a bit of a jerk sometimes, but he is loyal, courageous, and honorable. He will defend the innocent with his life even when he has no chance of winning. He views the lives of others as far more important than his own, however he will not normally throw his life away.

Without his suit, Lukas is a quiet and reserved young man forced into maturity at an early age. He lacks the social skills to know what to say at times, but he is kind and has a heart of gold. He has a fascination with learning and delights in seeing the same in others. Upon discovering someone else who shares his interests, it is not uncommon for him to go out of his way to help them flourish. When it comes to robotics and science, his mind whirls and races in a way it never seems to with most human interaction.

Family Members: Both his mother and father are alive.
Place of Origin: Savannah, Georgia (approximately)
History
Born to a pair of scientists, Lukas was destined for greatness from the very start. Or so his parents decided for him. His parents’ marriage was out of convenience rather than love,  as both were assigned to the same project: a weapon designed to hunt and kill metahumans that the government deemed a threat. Initially, when their son was born a cripple, his parents were ready to write him off as a failure. Perhaps because of is natural flaws however, they instead decided to use the infant Lukas as a guinea pig: to create the perfect operator for Mk1 “Godkiller” suit. Riot grew up on an intense training regimen and was fed a strict diet coupled with experimental growth hormones designed to maximize his size and muscle mass. Riot grew up destined to become a soldier, a meta-killer designed to gun down those grounded in reality, and drag those who weren’t down to humanities level before showing them the same fate. Hence his parents greatest creation since the Null-space stowage system: The Type 0 magic nullifier. An engine designed to make use of Nth metals primary anomalous effect: The disruption of magic and magically based creatures. This was the final piece. With this engine, The Mk1 Godkiller could effectively negate the powers of anyone not following the laws of physics, allowing the soldier within to efficiently neutralize the threat. Riot, however grew up loathing the idea of becoming a killing machine. All he wanted was a normal life. He quickly realized how impossible that idea was however, and instead focused on mastering his parents regimen in the hope of stealing the suit and using it to do some good. He has dedicated his life to “balance the scales” so to speak, trying to do good defending the innocent in an attempt to make up for his parents unethical weapons research and experimentation on live human and meta subjects. Despite his animosity towards what his parents have done and are continuing to do, and their apparent disdain for him, he still loves them both and will go to great lengths to keep them safe.


“Go! Go! Go!” The gunman adjusted his mask. They were out of time. The cops would be there any second. He swore under his breath as he heard the approach of sirens. Nevermind, they were here THIS second. Fine. If it was a standoff they wanted, it was a standoff they’d get. He smashed out a window with his rifle and opened fire on the police as they piled out of their vehicles and took defensive positions, sending them diving behind the cover of their cars. His fellow gunmen took up firing positions spaced out along the side of the bank. It appeared this would last all day. Then everything changed as the large window near the ceiling exploded in a myriad of shimmering razor shards. In the same moment, one of the gunmen was thrown off his feet in a hail of bullets. By the time he slammed into the tellers desk behind him, an armored giant had landed boot first into the chest of another gunman, driving the wind from him and slamming him into the ground with enough force to render him instantly unconcious, though curiously there was no blood. No one had time to register that fact, however as the fight ended in a two second blur, with the giant gunning down the farthest gunman opposite the leader and swinging a massive shield with a vicious backhand that saw the last henchman thrown across the room into his leader, the two of them slamming into the marble wall behind them. As the leader’s vision darkened, his last sights were of a blue and golden giant of metal striding towards him with the calm casual pace of a predator who knew it had won.

Riot picked up the rifles the two men he’s thrown into each other had been using and smashed them to pieces. He calmly walked over to the hostages, his voice amplified by a speaker inside his helm, though it came out as harsh and mechanical. “DO NOT WORRY, YOU ARE SAFE NOW. THE POLICE WILL CLEAN UP THIS MESS AND YOU WILL ALL BE FREE TO GO ABOUT YOUR DAY AFTER GIVING ANY STATEMENTS THEY NEED.” He turned and held the door open for the police, who were still staring at him in bewilderment, many just now processing what had just happened. “THE SITUATION HAS BEEN RESOLVED. SEVERAL OF THESE MEN WILL NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION, BUT THEY WILL BE MORE THAN WELL ENOUGH TO FACE THEIR DAY IN COURT. SORRY FOR THE SCARE, OFFICERS, HOWEVER I’M SURE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR SURPRISE IN THIS SITUATION.”

The breaking strength of his armor is ten tons per square inch. As such, it would depend on the size of the fist. That being said, a punch with ten tons of force behind it would certainly cause damage. Denting the armor, cracking the internal skeleton, injuring the man inside, and damaging internal components are all possible outcomes. His shield wouldn't be damaged however, as it's still Nth metal. I thought he was a little too durable with a whole suit of Nth metal. As such, his suit is primarily a titanium alloy, while his sword, shield, and generator are still Nth metal.

Reviewing the collective powers and tech, I would be obliged if you could make the following changes:

- Lukas' Nth metal property retention be reduced. Basically instead of him being fully immune to direct magic effects they just have a lesser effect on him, when away from the suit.
- I would like to see another weakness that can be used to combat him in his suit specifically. Last time you presented this ap you listed that the "joints, couplings, circuits, and framing of the suit" were vulnerabilities. This would serve. Otherwise, please find something else that would work equally as well.
- I am small and him being 6'5" offends me. Maybe give him a haircut.

Please respond here when changes have been made. If you have any questions, queries, complaints, contentions, rebuttal, photographs of your last business trip abroad; feel free to contact me.

Edits made:

His resistance to magic directly affecting him while out of the suit has been reduced from a 100% resistance to a 50% resistance. Please note that this only affects him and no one else, regardless as to how close they stand. Magical immunity while in the suit is still the same.

Added weakness: Tensile Force

Added weakness: Concussive force.
         Note that both of these were mentioned in the Mk1 Godkiller entry, however I forgot to list them as official weaknesses.

You are tiny and always will be. Deploy sadness accordingly.

Photos of my international work are pending.

Spoiler:

Go, be merry.
