Approved Glitchian Concern: I am quite literally hotter than you.

Greetings. I have read the lore of the Glitch in this server, and made sure to re-read it twice once more, and I have one concern regarding that character I wish to play. For the nature of his physical body, goes against what the Glitch believe upon their body. And also his equipment may need permission to even be used within character. So the following which are listed, will need permission to even be allowed IC.

As this Glitch character of mine, due to circumstance and time, has been modfying his body. Either by his own or friends who are now long dead, due to the Inquisitors or simply due to age. The nature of said modifications focus on three parts, his power-core, limbs and his physical shell. All three are tied to his backstory, which to make it concise, is a tale of a noble prince betrayed and turned into an outcast. Who then was forced to live a nomadic life of a trader, that primarily focused on mining and smithing wares to fund his self-titled penance crusade. This life of his has allowed him to exist for a century, until he had decided to simply shutdown and die, letting himself and his ship drift into the void of space, with his body sealed in a sort of cryo-stasis chamber. Of course, he awakens centuries later, finding his ship being boarded by explorers which he promptly chased away only to discover he was now in Antares space.

The modifcations that I mentioned are these:

1.A power core that intensely burns from within him, producing copious amounts of heat that allows him to set things on fire, should he allow it. This core is dubbed 'Perdition', which in function heats his body up. Allowing him, who is primarily made from thick durasteel to move his joints. However, the excessive amounts of heat that the core produces makes it necessary for him to actively control its temperature, as it is tied to his current state of mind. It also makes him covet more food-stuff to fuel himself, alongside drinks that may help him cool his body down, which is simply a placebo effect. As his internal systems had been modified to maintain a sort of 'normal' temperature for him, which is still quite hot.

Not only that, due to how it makes the metal that composes him soft or the armor that he wears, it renders his defenses far inferior than the rest. As even though his apparent frame is quite heavily armored, the softened nature of it due to the constant heat from within him renders them more susceptible to being punctured, and worse yet it is made more weak against bludgeoning attacks.

2. His limbs, as his lifestyle as a miner and trader rendered him self-reliant, his limbs are made to be able to support his own weight whenever he carries his large ore-filled pack. With his arms primarily being modified to allow him to mine with ease in extended periods of time, which coupled with his Perdition Core allows him to possibly dig-through earth with his sharpened fingertips, as he uses the heat he produces through his hands to soften the surface of whatever he mines, granted that said material wasn't heat-resistant.

The drawback to this is how sluggish he would be, as said limbs need the heat his core makes to soften some parts of his joints. In battle, this would allow him to deliver hard hitting blows, but said blows would be quite obvious to dodge as the momentum he would generate with them would make it hard for him to stop. It also makes him take his time in the items he forges, making them much more heavier as he uses more materials to even make them whitstand his forging techniques.

3. His physical shell is made from durasteel, layered in a way that makes him capable of enduring harsh weathers of alien worlds and possibly be more durable against bladed weapons. This shell of his is heavy, making him slow in exchange for defenses. Beneath this shell of his, is modified systems that support his power-core and the heavy shell of his, which even furthers his need for fuel.

Half of his face is covered by an even harder mask, which is half a face of another Glitch, forcibly melded with his own face through a ritual bonding involving intense heat. This makes him droop his head down a bit, as if he was glaring at whoever he meets.

His equipment on the otherhand that I feel needs permission, alongside afforementioned modifications are also three things. One, are robes that appear IG as the Caretaker robes. But IC, are flame-resistant robes made for him so that he may hide his body, and be capable of hiding of what he looks like. It is primarily the thing he wears, aside from armours or a crown.

Second is the unqiue Dragonhead pistol, which he carries two of. These pistols of his are not made by him personally, and are instead a gift from a friend he considered to be his little-brother. These pistols function IC as rapid-firing handguns that are capable of using different kinds of munition, but are primarily using AP rounds which are also modified to 'light up' in flames whenever it fires. This of course causes more maintenance to be needed for these pistols.

Third would be a pickaxe, or rather is wide-array of mining equipment that a miner may need. Which are primarily limited to pickaxes, shovels, drills, nothing too complicated or larger than he is.
(Would the Energy Pickaxe be allowed, or is it alongside the Absurd/Comical IG items?)

-

That end it there, and so the question from me is. Which among these will be allowed, which will be the ones to be denied, and subsequently what possible alternatives will I be given in regards to these six things I have listed?

Regardless, thank you for your time in reading this. And no matter the outcome, I will still play as this character, with or without the full compliment of things I have listed.

 

Seeing as it cannot be allowed internally, would the modifications be allowed as it is if it's applied to an armor, which would function as a Rig as you have said? If that is what it would take to allow it, then I would gladly take it, even at the expense of the Glitch almost constantly wearing his suit of armor beneath the robe he has. As the three aspects are a sort of important piece of the character.

Though on the subject of the Energy Pickaxe, I'm quite alright not having it. Unless a Pickaxe which has a system to allow energy to coat its tip be allowed.

 

I had a few ideas, nothing to concrete however. And all would need the existence of the Ark and subsequently the Ancient Race responsible for the creation of the Ark Vaults. As the tech needed to even shape pure energy into a Pickaxe tip and maintain it, is too complex.

With that new information in mind, this can truly work as an external rig. With the Perdition Engine being insulated into a large pack, connected to an armor which my character would link with. Possibly wearing it as a second skin, albeit a heavier one. This however would present one glaring weakness at the back, though I imagine it would be possible to strengthen the pack that contains such a violent and downright self-destructive engine.

And I think this glitch will primarily be made from heat-resistant materials, as he is from a Volcanic World. Lighter would be better without his armor, as I just realized he would need to be able to move his hands properly to even craft or forge.

And yes, it's morbid and even more disturbing when one realized he willingly did it. Coherently at that. Though it is obviously painful, but at the current time it wouldn't be for him, as he has gotten used to it. But yeah.. someone else's face welded to half of your own, not by someone but you yourself.

I just realized that's downright edgy.

 

Understandable. Nothing more is to be added I guess, aside from that 'enchanted' axe. If it is allowed, would this Glitch be able to have more than one? Regardless this is all I would need for him.

Unless he cannot have the Templar, Doom Lord and Legionarie Armor. Made from durasteel of course. All I'm after is the aesthetic of the armors.
