The Silver Dragon, Daemon
« on: September 27, 2010, 01:46:04 AM »
Daemon: Completely redesigned, Daemon now stands over sixty feet tall. His powerful wings house two anti-gravity projector arrays each, allowing him to lift some of the heaviest of tanks, even some lighter corvettes, and toss them about like grenades. With LIPC weapons built into his fingertips, HE grenade launchers in his knees, a powerful bladed tail, and specially designed actuators in his legs designed for massive bursts of torque, the Daemon is one of the Sons of Plunder's most powerful trump cards. He is a mobile repeater node for the Microdrone network, and an amplifier for the Tempora Psionic Network used by the TSA systems. Alone, he is capable of commanding a small army of the Sons' TSADs, but when working together alongside Jade they are able to coordinate the actions of each and every squad in a planetary invasion, from the capital ships down to the ten-man squads of foot soldiers.

Utilizing the absolute most sophisticated technology the Sons of Plunder have access to, Daemon utilizes a unique form of AI Jade has coined 'Limited Realistic Artificially Natural Intelligence.' Able to have Jade take direct control through the TPN with zero resistance, Daemon can lead a medium-sized war party on his own, running in Ad-Hoc mode with zero insubordination or software errors. He is programmed with the combined strategic knowledge of the modern Relorians and the fallen Ancient Relorians, granting him a great deal of strategic prowess.

His armor is modular and constructed out of a curicite, Aralian hull and lead alloy, and he is fully capable of altering his own body when and if he finds it necessary. He has seemed to have developed a slight flaw, in that he rather dislikes this practice and avoids it whenever reasonable, apparently out of pride.

The large crystal array in his chest is his personal trump card. The outer layer of crystals is a generator, converting all kinds of light to usable energy. Just underneath lies a scaled-down version of the Gehennae's  Warping Saraton main weapon, capable of blasting a hole through unshielded ship hulls.
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

Well, it always has a chance to be a subordinate if it's self-aware, and zero software errors? That's merely a theory.

Aralian lead? Forgot to replace lead with the lighter EM-resistant material.

Not Aralian lead, regular lead mixed into an alloy with the materials used in Aralian ship hulls, and Curicite. And yes, I do have a reason to use actual lead.

And not a theory, due to various restraints hard-coded into the AI, as well as the personal, psionic tie he has to Jade. She has the ability to override his decisions and even overwrite memories if the need arises.
