My stick Nodes OC which has been in development for a year, about to be two. Named The Mercenary, which started off as a simple base and has been updated on ever since, starting in 2019. This OC is sleeveless, though has a Combat Sleeve initiation that can be manually triggered or activated naturally once environmental hazards are detected. The sleeveless trend taken inspiration from the 2018 trend where the original Armored Users, CarlosJaze, Flame K, Rylo Young, and Explosive Bullet has no sleeves. My old OC design had taken heavy inspiration from Halo but has drifted off on its own path, the helmet looking similar to that of a Halo helmet because of it being a remake of my old OC helmet. This person will have his own series and other well-known users known as Rylo Young, CarlosJaze, Mercenary, Flame K, and others will take place in. The story evolving and focusing around Earth and Space, I have made an entire lore for Mercenary and the series, but they're like... Essays. But you can add my Discord if you're eager to see.

Onto my character's perks and weaknesses, he is in his early 20's, 22 to be exact. An enchanted Super-Soldier equipped with bulletproof armor and suited with energy gauges to keep his suit powered on, and other features I can't mention. These gauges (located on the kneepads) are used to keep a suit powered on and utilize more energy to develop into the suit the user to use to their advantage, such as an Environmental Shield, which are triggered to defend against environmental hazards such as anything that can harm the user's flesh or potentially harm the immune system. A golden energy barrier is it's appearance. Without his suit being powered on, he cannot be notified of information such as Intel, or suit condition and user diagnosis which is generated through the suit's power. If mercenary uses too much suit energy, it may grow scarce until it recharges after depletion. A jet engine attached to his waist and also his boots. These thrusters can be used to push the user out of the way, incoming dancer, or allow them to hover into the sky or flight. These are best suitable in zero gravity environments, which are used to easily force a user one direction. This series takes place in space and leads to an unknown planet with its own lore that I have yet to decide to publish publicly. This series is called Survival Instinct, an action-horror series that has more lore than you'd think it would. The eyes have something to do with the visor to add immersion, I recommend you set the opacity lower than 60. This reason being, Mercenary has a filtering option optimized through his visor. It can illuminate his golden visor and hide his appearance, which can be used to keep anonymous and for stealth objectives. In order to soothe Mercenary's visor it is slightly see-through, which like I said can be toggled. There are many more gadgets and mechanics for Mercenary I haven't given out, and may keep private until I publish the other versions of his suits and Infantry. All upgraded to fit suitable conditions. One I'll be publishing soon is called "Mechanical Riot Mk. I Gen 2". Onto the personality and stats.

Mercenary is a silent 22 year old male, and does not often express his emotions nor engage in conversation. He is on-point with his tasks and prefers to work alone, seen as an introvert. Due to previous battle experience, Mercenary remains silent as a result of traumatic experiences and which lead to a depressed mindset which he keeps private. This series will be an extremely violent and graphic series, eventually leading to a war, Sci-Fi horror aside. This will only strengthen his depression as the series progresses, and focuses around his character development. This isn't the first character I've made, I've made other characters for other friends I may publish as well. Mercenary is a strong male, his strength multiplied by his armor, being modified with an exoskeleton in and out of armor. This armor is focused around protection and firepower, which will slightly immobilize him and draw his mobility down more than his lighter variants. His armor takes a silver appearance. He is skilled in ranged combat, reflexes are above average. Due to his slight immobilization, his hand-to-hand combat may not be efficient. He is often harassed mentally with hallucinations which worsen as the series progresses.

Overall, this character should be seen as show... Don't tell. He isn't very talkative but has a common sense of humor. He prefers to work alone. The gadget on his back was originally inspired from Dead Space but now determine the environment and warn him of environmental hazards through the color of this area, ranging from green, safe, yellow, caution, orange, dangerous, and red, deadly.

I'll explain more of my character in my next few publishes about him, if you want to join my series, please let me know and I'd love to hear your OC lore. Please, give me criticism. Ask Rylo, Flame, I don't care. I take criticism into consideration and try to improve. And they know I do.
