Proteus

Name: Proteus

Species: Robloxian.

Subspecies: Nusian.

Age: 29 years old.

Head: Yellow skin. Arms: Yellow skin. Chest/abdomen: Blue skin. Legs: Green skin.

Physique: Sturdy, well-built body.

Wears: A combat helmet with a blue visor, the visor is most likely acts as a HUD to Proteus, the helmet has something that seems to be a night vision mount on the front of it. He also wears dark blue full-body armor, his torso is protected by a black bullet-proof vest with Nusia's flag on the center front chest area of the vest, the vest also has four mysterious small gas canisters on the front side of the vest. He also carries something similar to a manpack radio on his back.

Personality: Proteus slowly enters a decent into madness as the face of war, regret, isolation, and pain tear him apart slowly. Each conflict passing by becoming even more difficult as his higher ups stretch him thinner and thinner with no regards for his well being. He is very cautious, preferring to stay at the furthest possible engagement range. He likes to say that he's fine and everything is going to be okay, but sooner or later he will crack. He will die from mental stress and cognitive failure if overworked.

Backstory: Proteus is a candidate for a project called "Hivelink", attributing the very name of the developing company, Hivelink Tech. The project selected him out of every candidate based on health and scoring systems to operate the equipment in battle, a deal signed between the company and the Nusian military. A tempting choice to gain such unique capabilities, rise to fame, and wealth beyond imagine, a perfect goal for him and his hopefully soon to be wife. No matter how hard she stressed caution to him, he reassures her that everything will be okay. Proteus experiences his first abouts in combat, obviously much more stressful than his regular life. He manages quite well as his leading caretakers and command ease him into the usage of equipment and elements of combat, he deployments start soft and gradually become more serious. Eventually mastering techniques, now reserved for most serious of situations. Major incident occurs during a heated battle between Dominion and Nusian forces, a transmission tower designed to stabilize his connection with the entire hive network gets hijacked. This hijacking causes many of his clones to become 'infected' with a virus that causes them to turn on all living beings except eachother. During the the incident, it becomes an all conflict between him and himself to stop the spread. During the onslaught hundreds of civillians around the urban zone are maimed and slaughtered relentlessly with no remorse. By the time the infection is contained, Proteus left with almost no memory until finding a corpse with the personal autopsy to tell the whole story.

Abilities: His spectral shotgun: which deals 8 damage per pellet, totalling to 40 if all 5 bullets hit. His shotgun bash: deals 15 damage, knocking enemies away and bypassing invincibility along with disabling jetpack for 1 second. Spectral leap: his teleporting ability, which lets him get away from enemies and confuse them or help spread his clones. Cloning: where he will split into groups of Specters to start his spread. After all but one Specters are killed, the last Specter turns back into Proteus.

Proteus's general strategy while fighting: When deployed into a battlefield, Proteus will begin walking towards enemies, firing a shotgun at mid ranges. Upon losing 5% HP or locking onto an overcharged enemy, he will teleport away. Upon being too close, Proteus will melee the enemy, knocking them back, dealing 15 damage, and disabling jetpacks for 1 second. After 8 seconds pass, Proteus will split into 4-8 clones, depending on enemy count. These weaker versions called "Specter"s, having blue healthbars and 10% of his max HP. Specters retain all of his abilities, but with slight changes. Specters will only split into 2 at time. They will only teleport upon locking onto an overcharged player, freshly exiting out of a split, or periodically every 5-10 seconds. Upon killing a specter, Proteus will lose 5% of his HP. Upon defeating all specters, the last specter will form back into the full Proteus again. Upon using various actions such as but not limited to, his teleport and cloning, he will enter 'materialization'. During these brief states, he will appear blue and transparent along with gaining 50% resistance, but cannot attack the player. If Proteus's health was halved, he will enter a 'Frenzy' state indicated by global blue FX and an audio cue. During this state, cloning rate is doubled, specter teleporting timer is cut in half.
