Little bit of game info, if you're into that. Feel free to ignore otherwise.

Solus

Overview

Appearance: Wears a puffy vacuum suit, complete with dome-shaped reflective helmet, on his body. Over that is a mechanical exoskeleton that is painted yellow. The exoskeleton comes with large, pneumatic boots and a plated harness, with reinforcing frames extending along the limbs. The exoskeleton adds half a foot of height to him, putting him at 6'7". On his back is a pair of cylindrical containers. One has a flame painted on it, with a tube attached that runs down the right arm and feeds into Solus' plasma torch, which is crudely duct taped under his nail rifle. The other canister, which is larger and attached to the spine of the exoskeleton, has a biohazard label on it. It has cables running from the top of it to all of the extremities along the suit.

Solus' nail rifle is held firmly in his right hand, with a cable running from it to the reactor on his back. The barrel is rectangular, with a section near the rear of it that slides back to reveal the clip that hold its ammunition. Even further back, just above the grip, is the chamber that connects directly to the canister on the under-barrel. The rear of the gun is bolted into the exoskeleton. Under the rifle's barrel is the plasma torch, which is a round canister that has a well-charred nozzle jutting from the front. The canister has small air filters along the side that drag in gas for the purpose of being superheated in the torch. A hose attached to the back runs up the exoskeleton's arm and into the gas canister on Solus' back. On the bottom of the canister, by the rear, is a box with a warning label halfway scraped off of it. It contains the device used to ignite the fuel from the hose. The entire contraption appears long and rather clumsy for a normal person, but not for an engineer in an engineering suit.

In Solus' left hand is a fuel canister, which is tall and cylindrical. The valve typically found on the top has been replaced with a boxy device that has a handle and a pin attached to the side. When Solus throws the canister, he unpins it with his thumb. Sparks fly out of the opening as it sails through the air, and it bursts into flames and shrapnel on contact with a surface or enemy.

Role: Tank

Difficulty: 2 stars

Health: 400

Armor: 200

Gas (Unique Resource): 200, regenerates at 40/second

Solus takes charge of the battlefield, using his tools and his mechanized suit as powerful weapons that force the enemy to him and away from his allies. He can use his Pneumatic Thrusters to launch himself into the enemy and incinerate them, as well as apply his Canister Bomb to cut off escape routes.

Abilities:

Nail Rifle (Left-Click): Solus fires heated electromagnetic spikes from his makeshift combustion rifle. It is inaccurate and slow, but packs a punch. (Clip: 30 gas/shot. Damage: 60 per hit.)

Plasma Torch (Right-Click): Formerly a welding tool, Solus' torch blasts superheated plasma in a wide cone. (Clip: 20 gas/second. Damage: 40/second)

Canister Bomb (E): Solus throws a fuel canister armed with a detonator, which explodes on contact to create a burning zone. (Costs 50 gas. Cool down: 6 seconds. Duration: 10 seconds.) (Burn damage: 60/second. Exploding Damage: 100.)

Pneumatic Thrusters (L-Shift): Solus takes a moment to charge before launching himself into the air. Activating in the air sends him catapulting down, causing damage in an area around him and stunning enemies that he lands directly on.

Dead Zone (Q): Solus vents intense radiation from his suit's reactor, dealing damage and slowing enemies in an area around him.

Biography

Real Name: Saul Urien, Age: 26

Occupation: Engineer (formerly), Arsonist

Base of Operations: Vulcan Orbital Station (formerly)

Affiliation: None

Tagline: "Everything breaks. Everything burns."

Once an accomplished mechanical engineer, Saul has now become an obsessive force of destruction, barely restrained by the last vestiges of his morality.

In the renewed push to explore deeper into space, the Vulcan Orbital Station was sent into Earth's orbit act as a base from which to launch further expeditions once the means became available. It featured a collection of some of Earth's finest engineers and scientists, both biological and synthetic. Initially, the station showed promise when an intercepted asteroid led to the discovery of a (extremely radioactive) gas that had the capability of restoring itself after being expended, denying previously established thermodynamic laws. This potentially limitless source of power became the cornerstone of future developments, advancing the expected timeline leading to advanced space flight by decades, if not centuries.

This changed when tensions between the omnics and the humans of the station hit a breaking point. News that had trickled in over time detailing the increasing struggle between the two sides on Earth had lasting effects on the people of Vulcan. Years of suppressed anger eventually exploded outward, and the entire population of the station split into two sides. Before long, fighting began and proceeded to push the inhabitants involved over the edge. One fateful day, a bioweapon was released in the commons of the station. The weapon was called Project Z-33, and it took the form of a fungus that forcefully invaded everything it touched and tore into it in the search for sustenance. Omnics were overgrown and torn apart from within. Humans were infected, and the fungus leeched nutrients from their bodies while invading their nervous system and shutting it down. All this did was stir conflicting embers into a raging inferno, plunging the station into its own Omnic War.

Saul was one of the engineers on Vulcan. He was assigned to ship repair and maintenance, which required the use of a heavy duty powered suit and industrial-grade tools. He was doing external maintenance on the station when Z-33 was released, and he returned to a station in chaos. Humans and omnics were warring against each other as the deadly fungus consumed the station at an alarming rate. Death was everywhere. Unsure of how to handle the situation properly, Saul found himself fighting off both sides in self-defense while trying to avoid Z-33. As he holed up and tried to defend himself, all of the other living members of Vulcan tore each other apart. Saul was alone on the ship, something that quickly brought ruin to his psyche. As he travelled deeper into the station, trying to get to the main control room, he found himself using his tools - now weapons - to incinerate the dead and the dying. He kept trying to find someone who could help him handle the situation, but all he found were overgrown corpses and suffering beings. Those that lived were killed in mercy. His respect for life and companionship quickly dwindled, leaving emptiness and grim determination.

The madness didn't end until Saul destabilized the station's Omnium core and sent it hurtling to Earth as radiation killed Z-33. Throughout the entire crisis, Saul's suit kept him from being significantly wounded physically, but it did nothing to help him mentally. When the station's incinerated remains fell into the Atlantic Ocean, Saul was huddled in a life pod. He made his way to shore, and began walking the earth as a purposeless, broken man. The only comfort he has left is in chaos, the only time when his mind is empty and his path is clear.
