History
The Augmented Reaction Suit (ARS) was a futuristic piece of battle armor designed and created by Professor Francois Candide who was funded by DARPA. The express aim in developing the suit was to create an infantry unit that would hold the mobility, firepower and command situational awareness capabilities above that of existing main battle tanks. In addition, it was meant to serve as an experimental form of supersoldier on the battlefield and was meant to serve any role from reconnaissance, medical treatment or engage in full combat situations. The prototype suit was wielded by Sam Gideon and sent for field testing by DARPA to assist American forces during the conflict with the Order of the Russian Star forces who were assaulting the Providence space station.
Overview
In appearance, the Augmented Reaction Suit was a humanoid suit of battle armour that could be equipped to improve the capabilities of its wielder. This battle suit was constructed from a carbon nanite-based textile that was an advanced material which was famous for its steel-like toughness. Furthermore, it held transparent perceptible weight along with regenerative properties. The ARS system provided a normal soldier with high defensive capabilities that provided superior mobility thus turning the wearer into a veritable supersoldier. Its system powered support function allowed the user access to deadly along with efficient weapons that were normally inaccessible by infantry. This was achieved by the ARS system monitoring the user's myopotential and synaptic responses on a constant basis. As a result, it was able to accurately calculate the munition's point of impact and reduced muzzle rise through the use of recoil compensators as well as separate actuators. This improved the wearer's accuracy when aiming the weapon. In addition, the suit allowed the user to help the wounded on the battlefield through the use of a form of defribiliator and thus save friendly comrades.
Powered actuators fitted in the suit enhanced the wearer's physical strength and speed. This was boosted even further when the suit's limitators were removed which allowed the wearer to lift a 100 ton metal covering. In terms of mobility, the user was able to run at incredible speeds thus allowing feats such as a super sprint onto a flying dropship. In addition, a powerful electromagnetic charge was transmitted from the ARS's core and allowed the user to engage in close combat attacks that were able to break any charged armor as well as prototype energy shielding. Furthermore, the ARS had the ability to replicate enemy weaponry in the field for use by using the experimental ARS/BLADE weapon combination system. The Battlefield Logic ADaptable Electronic weapons System could adapt to the changing conditions of the battlefield by altering its physical configuration to meet a user's needs. New configurations could be loaded into the memory while on the battlefield by scanning any given weapon
