   Keys:

   AC (Armored Core)

   An Armored Core is a powerful robotic war machine used by various mercenaries. An AC is a multi-purpose combat unit, the basic design of which traces back to the MT. They are formidable weapons that can be easily adapted to various conditions by simply reconfiguring their part load outs.

   ACs carry abilities below:

   • Melee: In the event that an AC's ammo reserves are depleted, they can still continue the fight by relying on their arms and punching enemy targets.
   • Pulse Shields and Bucklers: A variant of the arm-mounted shield of previous generations installed on the back slot of the core. These energy shields pivot forward to produce a shield that can block and mitigate frontal attacks while freeing up the AC's limbs and allow them to dual wield their weapons and fire while guarding against attacks.
   • Assault Boost: An Overboost-like feature that essentially serves as the AC's cruise mode, allowing them to cross vast distances at high speed. Unlike the simple open-plate design of Overboost, Assault Boost causes several parts in the rear portion of the AC to reconfigure while exposing its main heat sink component.
   • OS Tuning: The internal specs of an AC can be further tuned to adjust and improve its abilities, eliminating the need for Optional Parts and expands its range of abilities.
   • Boost Kicking: During Assault Boost, the AC can perform an improvised physical attack to knock an enemy off balance and potentially disrupt their ACS using momentum.
   • Weapon Bay: Additional alterations can install sub-arm-like extensions to hold their handheld firearms on their shoulders in place of the typical back-mounted weapons and swap them out at will.
   • Weight Control: This adjusts the weight burden of an AC and allows them to operate with the excess weight and the ability to purge them at any time.
   • Core Expansion: As part of the OS Tuning, ACs can be installed with one of three pulse armor modifications such as the Assault Armor and Pulse Armor, alongside the new Terminal Armor.
   • Repair Kits: In the event of particularly long and ardent fights, the AC can perform a quick fix to restore the integrity of its hull.
   • Scanner: Emits a wave of data that pinpoints the location of hidden items of interest or enemies. Hover Mode - Tetrapod legs have the ability to reconfigure into a flight mode, enabling them to deftly hover over obstacles and strike from the air
   • Drifting: Tank legs have seen significant mobility improvement and can even drift from high speed turns
2. #2Coralconstant

   Keys:

   Coral

   Coral appears naturally as a red, wispy mass, comprised of larges masses of microorganisms able to interact and communicate with each other even over vast distances. It is able to grow and reproduce over time under good conditions, and in ideal conditions, specifically a vacuum, it can propagate exponentially. Humanity's interest in Coral was piqued by two key material properties: it produces an immense amount of energy when burned, and it also conducts digital data more effectively than any other known natural or artificial substance.

   In practice, Coral can be used as fuel for engines or for weaponry due to its extremely high energy output. Due to its ability to reproduce, Coral can power machines for decades without any need for refueling or maintenance. Its high energy output makes it dangerously volatile, however, and even a small quantity of Coral can unleash a vast amount of energy if ignited, as demonstrated by the Fires of Ibis, which produced a firestorm on an interplanetary scale.

   As a living organism, Coral possesses a degree of intelligence and exhibits social behavior. These traits, combined with its data conduction ability, allow it to be incorporated into control systems for various machines, such as the IA-02: ICE WORM and the Ibis Series' IB-01: CEL 240. Free Coral are able to interact and control digital equipment as well, and have been known to assert control over human-made machines to use them for their own protection. Coral is also capable of manifesting sentient information patterns with personalities that are comprehensible and behaviorally similar to humans. Described as "C-Pulse wave mutations", these unique Coral entities can be perceived as voices by Augmented Humans with Coral-based (Generation One through Four) augments, in which case the contact is persistent, or by humans who regularly consume large amounts of Coral as a recreational drug, in which case the contact only lasts until the effects of the Coral wear off.

   When consumed by humans as a drug, Coral is highly addictive. Coral addicts are known as Dosers. In his private writings, Thumb Dolmayan uses the word "imbibing" to describe the method by which he consumed Coral when he was a young Doser, but he does not elaborate further. A comms record of Doser ravings indicates that Coral can be consumed "raw" for the most intense high.

   Consumption of coral can cause several side effects. The aforementioned Dosers describe the process as causing “pop and a sizzle” sensation in the brain. Somewhat similarly, V.III O’Keefe experienced “Coral burn-in” in his brain from his first augmentation until he joined Arquebus and received augmentation surgery again. In addition, G5 Iguazu repeatedly describes voices and ringing in his head (much like what C4-621 experiences when Ayre speaks), which gets progressively worse throughout the game.

   Coral is also used as feed for the mealworms that Rubicon 3's human inhabitants farm for food, and they contain trace amounts of Coral when eaten, but not enough for its properties as a drug to manifest.

   Typically, Coral is found in subterranean flows and deposits, but when released into the atmosphere it can remain airborne, and sufficiently large masses of Coral can even move under their own power. Free Coral masses are attracted to other large Coral masses in a phenomenon known as "Coral Convergence", and the larger the mass, the faster it grows. The Rubicon Research Institute hypothesized that Coral reproduction could trigger a potentially dangerous phenomenon known as "Coral Collapse"; upon reaching a critical mass, Coral would be able to escape Rubicon 3's gravity well and spill out into space, and since the vacuum of space is the best environment for Coral growth, the Coral would spread uncontrollably across the stars. This hypothesis is untested, since the only occasion when a potential Coral Collapse was on the verge of occurring was fifty years ago, and Professor Nagai prevented it from happening by deploying IB-01: CEL 240 to burn the Coral, thus instigating the Fires of Ibis. The Institute also hypothesized that humans and Coral could unite in symbiosis. Following the Fires of Ibis, ALLMIND obtained the symbiosis research and plotted to enact it during the Coral War via the Coral Release project.

   When extracted, Coral is typically stored and transported in metal containers with an oblong, semi-ellipsoidal shape. Burning Coral kills it and renders it completely unusable as an energy source and data conduit, while also transforming it into a "lethal contaminant".

   Keys:

   PCA (Planetary Closure Administration)

   PCA (Planetary Closure Administration) is an organization which regulates access to Rubicon 3, and has commandeered numerous autonomous C-Weapons left behind by the Rubicon Research Institute after the Fires of Ibis.

   The Planetary Closure Administration was established in the aftermath of the Fires of Ibis to permanently seal off Rubicon 3 and prevent another Coral disaster from happening. The PCA's embargo halted all traffic to and from the planet, denying access to outsiders and also stopping any of Rubicon 3's inhabitants from leaving. The Rubiconians later formed the Rubicon Liberation Front in an effort to topple the PCA and re-open their world. Numerous PCA military bases and support facilities were built across Rubicon 3 while the organization monitored for any remaining Coral and searched for Institute City, the lost headquarters of the defunct Rubicon Research Institute, which had been behind the Fires of Ibis. Eventually, the PCA completed the Closure System, an orbital weaponized satellite array that could keep the planet contained more efficiently, and it abandoned all of its obsolete surface facilities. Only units of the PCA Subject Guard remained on the surface to cordon off certain sites, known as "closure areas", that held old RRI structures such as the watchpoints that were used to monitor Coral flows. The PCA also bolstered its forces with C-Weapons, Coral-powered war machines built by the RRI, that it retrieved from Institute City.

    Arena Rank: 15

    Background: A veteran independent mercenary who was active in the star system surrounding Rubicon before the Fires of Ibis. Sulla is a patient of Generation One augmentation—or better said, a survivor, as the technology in its infancy had less than a 10% success rate.

After receiving his surgery, Sulla lost interest in most mercenary work, and now lives only for the hunt. It is unclear who currently employs him.

    Arena Rank: 26

    Background: An independent mercenary who snuck onto Rubicon hoping to get rich quick, taking advantage of the chaos brought about by the extraplanetary corporations' forays. Under Nosaac's "economic theory", the funds of others are but extensions of his own resources. Thus he continues to take on debt with no intention of repayment, as in his eyes, the money was his anyway. This does have the benefit of allowing him to buy the latest in corporate technology as soon as it hits the market; he considers the power of his AC an asset to his credit score.

    • He's hiding from his creditors with a bizarre economic theory that he doesn't have to pay back the money he borrowed.
