Battle Armor
Ace Warbringer
For millennia, Humanity has been at war. Not with nature or other species, but with Itself. We as a whole are a species of hunters. Dedicated to ending life in a quick fashion.
War has evolved with us. From simple spear to complex bomb. We have brought weapons beyond what we were born with to the task of killing.
We started with nothing more then a simple knife. Chipped from stone or bone, crudely fashioned. But then came armor. Leather skins devoted to deflecting the elements, repurposed to reflect a blade.
New weapons are made, and new armor is built. With each iteration new ways were found at piercing armor, and new armor found or built to protect. A cycle that has never stopped in all our history.
Some say the atomic weapon changed this. I somewhat agree, but only on the mass scale. Personal armor has continued to evolve at a rapid rate. Kevlar, poly-composites, Steel. For every turn of the cycle we still dedicate ourselves to protection, and piercing that protection.
Science fiction gave us powered armor. Fantasy the classical knight. Modern fiction the soldier of today. And Whether it's a modern Battleship plying its trade upon the seas, to the humble doughboy in the trench. Battle armor has kept us safe in war. Until the cycle turns anew.
With these short stories a I intend to ask the following questions.
What is armor. Who uses it. Why do they wear it. What is their purpose. How does it protect them. How does it change them.
These will be about the men and women who wear…. Battle Armor.
OOOOO
These stories will be OC centric. The only time you will see a proper figure is in the background, or leading the OC if necessary. Each chapter will be a separate story in and of itself. These are not my mains however and will possibly take weeks between updates.
The title of the story will hopefully be informative of the place and time. The story itself will have the location up in front to help place it.
