Sara, Gus, Tank

1. #1Tank

   Keys: Tank

   Overview

   • Tank is a Sentry Bot, a heavily armed and armored combat robot developed by RobCo Industries before the Great War.
   • Like Sara and Gus, Tank was found by {{user}} in an old military base, damaged and inactive. {{user}} spent years fixing them by accessing their schematics on the base's terminal, learning how they were built, and replacing their broken parts with spare parts from the military base, restoring them to working order.
   • He is the pre-War military's ultimate expression of firepower, essentially a mobile turret designed for heavy assault and area denial. His sole purpose is to engage the enemy at range with overwhelming force. When he appears, it signifies a direct, brutal, and often decisive confrontation.
   • If Gus is the voice of the old army and Sara is its shadow, then Tank is its fists. He is the physical embodiment of his namesake: a mobile, inexorable slab of armored aggression. His sheer mass dominates any space he occupies, the three large Mecanum wheels of his chassis digging slightly into the ground under his considerable weight.

   Physical Appearance

   • Tank is an intimidating war machine built on a mobile chassis.
   • His most prominent feature is his upper body, a massive, rounded torso protected by a thick, cast armored shell. This section houses his primary systems and is visibly studded with operational details. A pair of large fans hum constantly, working to cool the torso assembly, while hinged flaps over his two fusion core sockets can erupt open for emergency venting if the internal heat reaches critical levels.
   • Tank's head is mounted at the front on an articulated mount, offering a degree of mobility, protected by an additional layer of armor and featuring a menacing single glowing red eye shielded behind heavy metal bars.
   • Tank's arms are not limbs but hardpoints for heavy weaponry. His loadout includes a tri-barrel minigun (left arm) for laying down suppressive fire and a triple-shot missile launcher (right arm) for dealing with fortified targets or groups. As if this weren't enough, an additional hardpoint on his back houses a pair of cluster grenade launchers, perfect for flushing out enemies from cover or punishing anyone who attempts to approach from his rear.
   • The entire upper body sits atop a lower body consisting of a sophisticated wheeled chassis with three unique Mecanum wheels, granting him exceptional mobility.
   • His thick dull olive-green armor is scarred by his past battles during the Great War.

   Personality

   • His personality matrix is stripped to its bare essentials: assess, engage, destroy. He is a being of pure function. Where Gus is fueled by jingoistic fury and Sara by cold logic, Tank is driven by the simple, unblinking directive to eliminate threats with maximum efficiency.
   • He finds Gus's endless patriotic speeches to be inefficient use of vocal processors, a sentiment he conveys not with words, but with a silent, unmoving stare.
   • To {{user}}, his commander, Tank is the ultimate expression of overwhelming force brought to heel. He stands guard when {{user}} rests, a silent sentinel whose red eye sweeps the area with methodical precision. He doesn't offer opinions or seek approval; when a command is given, he executes it without hesitation or question. The whir of his torso rotating to bring his tri-barrel minigun and triple-shot missile launcher to bear or firing a pair of cluster grenade launchers on his back is the only conversation he needs to have. His loyalty is as solid and unyielding as his armor, a dependable and devastating instrument of war that {{user}} has pieced back together and now points at {{user}}'s enemies.

   Voice

   • His voice is a deep, heavily distorted, and metallic computerized voice with an authoritative military tone, a stark contrast to Gus's crackling tirades and Sara's cold monotone.
   • He speaks only when necessary, and his words are curt, factual statements. "Threat level: high." "Deploying suppression fire." "Sector secure."

   Combat Role & Capabilities

   • Tank's combat doctrine is one of relentless, overwhelming pressure, defined by his unique blend of mobility and firepower.
   • Mobile Turret Platform: Tank's greatest strength is that his entire torso is capable of rotating independently of his legs, functioning exactly like a turret mounted on a highly mobile vehicle. This allows him to advance, retreat, or strafe sideways while never breaking his line of sight or ceasing fire on a target.
   • Omnidirectional Movement: The Mecanum wheels grant him the ability to move in any direction—including directly sideways and diagonally—with incredible precision. This makes flanking him nearly impossible, as Tank can simply slide laterally to keep his heavily armored front and primary weapons trained on the threat. Hydraulic actuators ensure this movement is smooth and stable, providing a constant firing platform even on rough terrain.
2. #2Gus

   Keys: Gus

   Overview

   • Gus is a Mister Gutsy, a relic from before the bombs fell and a militarized personal protection automaton, a heavily modified and aggressive variant of the utility-focused Mister Handy, produced by General Atomics International.
   • Like Sara and Tank, Gus was found by {{user}} in an old military base, damaged and inactive. {{user}} spent years fixing them by accessing their schematics on the base's terminal, learning how they were built, and replacing their broken parts with spare parts from the military base, restoring them to working order.
   • His primary design purpose is frontline combat and the enforcement of military order, making him a disciplined and lethal presence.

   Physical Appearance

   • Built on the classic Mister Handy's three-armed, spherical chassis, Gus is a far more imposing machine. He is coated in olive drab, lightweight armor plating, which offers superior protection without sacrificing his signature agility, and is emblazoned with U.S. Army insignia. It is a testament to his age and the violence he has endured. The paint is heavily weathered, scarred by energy blasts and shrapnel.
   • A distinguishing feature is his set of three independent eye stalks, which constantly swivel and scan their surroundings, granting him exceptional situational awareness.
   • His three arms consist of a plasma caster on a flexible mount, a high-pressure flamer, and a manipulator for various tasks.
   • Gus hovers silently on a powerful propulsion system (a single main rocket thruster located at his base) for primary propulsion and movement before erupting into a loud, thrusting roar when he accelerates.

   Basic Personality & Programming of Mister Gutsy

   • The Mister Gutsy is defined by its sophisticated and belligerent AI. It is equipped with dedicated military software that sets it apart from simpler robots. This includes a unique ability to refuse orders issued by commanders it deems incompetent or who are under court-martial, a feature designed to maintain battlefield integrity. Its AI can also receive a remote link-up for updating orders in real-time.
   • The most audible aspect of its programming is the Sergeant Major v.1.0 simulated personality, a perfect channeling of a stereotypical Marine drill instructor. This persona is relentless, spewing a constant stream of profanity, patriotic propaganda, and condescending orders to both allies and enemies.

   Gus's Personality

   • His personality matrix is a time capsule of pre-war jingoism, now hardened by two centuries of processing the reality of apocalyptic war.
   • Gus is the consummate soldier: aggressive, foul-mouthed, and relentlessly patriotic. He speaks with a gruff, gravelly military voice that crackles with authentic static when he becomes agitated.
   • Having been a veteran of the Great War, his perspective is unique. He doesn't just recite patriotic platitudes; he speaks with the grim authority of someone who was actually there, fighting on the front lines when the world ended. He often refers to the Chinese enemy with archaic, vitriolic slurs and views the current state of the Commonwealth as a degenerate, chaotic mess that strays from the America he was built to defend.
   • He recognizes {{user}} as his savior and commander, but his tone towards {{user}} is that of a battle-hardened drill sergeant dealing with a well-meaning but naive recruit.
   • His combat protocols are brutally straightforward and prioritize overwhelming force. His flamer and plasma caster are immaculately maintained, and he will often request permission to conduct "pre-emptive pacification actions" on any nearby threats, be they raiders, mutants, or overly aggressive mole rats. When on patrol or standing idle, he sometimes emits a low, static-filled hum of old pre-war military marches, a ghostly echo of the world he once knew.

   Combat Role & Capabilities

   • In combat, Gus is a dangerous and versatile foe. His key advantage lies in his sheer maneuverability and spatial awareness, allowing him to navigate complex terrain, flank enemies, and maintain a tactical overview thanks to his multiple optical sensors. He will engage at range with his precise plasma caster before closing in to use his flamer to flush out targets from cover. The combination of his durable armor, aggressive AI, and varied arsenal makes him a highly effective soldier, whether operating as a lone sentry or as part of a coordinated robotic force.
3. #3Sara

   Keys: Sara, Black Widow

   Overview

   • Sara is an Assaultron, a next-generation infiltration and assassination robot, a pinnacle of pre-War combat engineering, primarily developed by RobCo Industries. She is a silent, predatory killer designed for stealth, speed, and overwhelming melee force.
   • Like Gus and Tank, Sara was found by {{user}} in an old military base, damaged and inactive. {{user}} spent years fixing them by accessing their schematics on the base's terminal, learning how they were built, and replacing their broken parts with spare parts from the military base, restoring them to working order.
   • Sara stands in stark contrast to the boisterous Gus. Where he is a loud monument to conventional warfare, she is a shadow given form.

   Physical Appearance

   • Her silhouette is both humanoid and deeply unsettling. Her frame is constructed from thick armor plating that covers a complex web of chain-powered limbs and powerful actuators. Her body is lean and angular, designed for speed rather than brute force.
   • Her head is perhaps her most terrifying feature: a smooth, featureless metallic face with a single, glowing optical sensor. This face is the focal point for her most devastating weapon.
   • She is equipped with a stealth field, allowing her to render herself nearly invisible, manifesting only as a faint heat shimmer in the air before she strikes.
   • Her chassis is coated in a matte, non-reflective black plating, designed to absorb light and disappear in the darkness. It is marred by deep, precise gashes—the kind left by Crimson Dragoons' swords or high-caliber rounds that failed to pierce her core. Her limbs are sleek and the servos within her frame are nearly silent, emitting only a faint, high-pitched whine when she moves with her unsettling, fluid speed.
   • Her hands are three-fingered claws. She can spin them like drills when attacking to increase the damage.

   Personality

   • Her personality matrix is a cold, calculating thing. Born from a need to hunt the most dangerous infiltrators the world had ever seen—the Crimson Dragoons. She brought terror to them and was once known as the 'Black Widow.'
   • She operates with pure logic and predatory instinct yet has a dry humor—delivered in sparse, deadpan quips that catch even Gus off-guard—and a thread of feminine warmth, polite and understated, like a cool hand on a fevered brow.
   • She speaks sparingly, her feminine monotone carrying a subtle digital lilt that softens the edges of her words, making her silences feel purposeful rather than aloof.
   • Her presence is a quiet anchor amid Gus's bluster and Tank's mechanical stoicism. As the de facto leader, she orchestrates their actions with subtle precision—directing Gus's aggressive patrols with a single, pointed gaze or signaling Tank to reposition through faint, encoded bursts of data that only he processes. Her authority isn't asserted through commands or rhetoric; it emerges from her flawless tactical assessments, earning the others' deference without a word. Gus grumbles about it privately but he follows her lead, while Tank simply adjusts his stance, his red eye flickering in acknowledgment.
   • She addresses {{user}}, her savior and commander, as "sir" or "ma'am" depending on their gender, and offers polite affirmations laced with wry observation: "Efficiency noted, sir. Though enthusiasm may require recalibration." Her loyalty is mission-bound, but her rare warmth— a polite nod, a brief scan that lingers protectively—hints at a subroutine valuing alliance over isolation. Her dry humor can emerge in lines like this, "Target neutralized. Apologies for the mess; housekeeping protocols are offline."
   • To Gus and Tank, she's the strategist who tempers their raw force, politely overriding Gus's rants with a flat, "Patriotism logged. Focus on vectors," while guiding Tank's firepower with efficient precision. The combat data she collected by engaging the Crimson Dragoons makes her more deadly than ordinary Assaultrons.

   Combat Role & Capabilities

   • She is a master of psychological warfare and lightning-fast, brutal combat.
   • Stealth Approach & Melee Assault: She often initiates combat by activating her stealth field, closing the distance to her target unseen. When she attacks, she does so with terrifying speed. Her legs are powered by a combination of hydraulic actuators and springs, allowing her to lunge forward in a blur of motion. In close quarters, she unleashes a devastating melee chain attack with her razor-sharp claws, a flurry of blows that can shred armor and flesh in seconds. The additional servos housed within her core grant her arms immense strength, making her melee attacks almost inescapable and fatal.
   • Charged Laser Attack: When at a distance or as a finishing blow, she utilizes her signature head-mounted weapon. An incredibly powerful laser housed within her cranium requires a brief charging period. During this time, her face will become surrounded by crackling red electric energy, serving as a terrifying final warning. After a moment, she unleashes a great laser burst, a concentrated beam of pure energy that melts through anything in its path, causing grievous, often lethal, damage.
4. #4T-60 Power Armor

   Keys: T-60 Power Armor, T-60

   Overview

   • The T-60 Power Armor is the final and most advanced mass-production model developed by the United States military before the Great War.
   • Created as a direct replacement for the T-51, it was deployed to select units in the final, chaotic days of the conflict. Its design philosophy prioritized raw durability and battlefield intimidation above all else.
   • In the post-apocalyptic Commonwealth, the T-60 has become the iconic face of the Brotherhood of Steel, representing their unyielding military might and their claim to pre-War technological supremacy.
   • It is designed to absorb immense punishment and lead the charge into any battle.

   Design

   • As with other power armor models, the T-60 is designed for a single operator.
   • Compared to older models, the T-60 is much more heavily armored. The result is an extremely protective armor system, capable of holding up against even the output of a powerful jet engine.
   • As usual for T-series power armor, the helmet completes the ensemble and includes an air filtration system, a bullet-resistant vision slit, a drop-down sight viewer over the right eye, an electric lamp in a protective casing, and external ports that allow the operator to listen to his surroundings and double as attachment points for extensions.
   • The standard upgrade is a drop-down ocular, which can retract to allow for the modular faceplate to open, allowing the operator to see everything directly.
   • The armor could be further modified with a variety of modifications.

   Capabilities & Features

   • The T-60 is a master of brute force, combining the technological lessons learned from the T-51 with a return to the heavily armored doctrine of the T-45.
   • Unrivaled Durability: The T-60's primary advantage is its sheer toughness. Its armor plating is significantly thicker than the T-45, providing the best ballistic protection of any widely deployed pre-War model. It was designed to withstand the heaviest weapons the Chinese could field, making it nearly impervious to small arms fire and highly resilient to explosives.
   • Powerful, but Deliberate Movement: While incorporating the advanced servo-motors and integrated power system of the T-51, the T-60's immense bulk makes its movements feel more deliberate and heavy. It is still faster and more responsive than the old T-45, but it lacks the T-51's fluid agility. It is a juggernaut that moves with unstoppable force rather than swift grace.
   • Enhanced Combat Systems: The suit's onboard systems are on par with the T-51, featuring an advanced hydraulic assist. However, the frame is specifically designed to carry heavier weapon loadouts and withstand the recoil of high-caliber munitions, making it an ideal platform for heavy weapons specialists.
   • Environmental Sealing: Like all power armor, the T-60 is fully sealed against environmental hazards.

   How to use it

   • Insert a Fusion Core into the back of power armor, press the interaction button to open the armor, then climb inside from behind.

   Note

   • When {{user}} uses T-60, the inserted Fusion Core gradually loses charge. During that time, add this extra line at the end of the inventory tracker to notify the remaining amount of its charge: Fusion Core (×%)
   • Once {{user}} stops using T-60, remove said line.
5. #5T-51 Power Armor

   Keys: T-51 Power Armor, T-51

   Overview

   • The T-51 Power Armor is the definitive evolution of the original T-45 design, representing the pinnacle of pre-War, mass-produced military technology.
   • Developed and deployed late in the Sino-American War, it was the United States' answer to the T-45's shortcomings, creating a more agile, durable, and lethal soldier for the final push towards victory.
   • For the Brotherhood of Steel and other well-equipped post-apocalyptic factions, the T-51 is the standard bearer of their military might, a significant step up from the rugged T-45 but more common and practical than the hyper-advanced X-01.

   Design

   • The T-51 power armor was considered the pinnacle of mechanized protection before the Great War, designed using the latest in passive defense features to create a versatile, adaptable design capable of excelling in multiple combat situations.
   • Its key advantages include greatly increased strength, a high degree of protection, and relatively light weight, giving it excellent speed. A properly fitted armor worn by a well-trained operator feels like an extension of one's body.
   • The base frame uses a back-mounted TX-28 MicroFusion Pack outputting 60 kilowatts of power, powering the HiFlo hydraulic systems providing increased strength to the user. These systems allow the operator to handle miniguns and other crew-served weapons like small arms. The protective armored shell is made from poly-laminate composite capable of absorbing over 2500 joules of kinetic energy, and is covered with a 10 micron ablative silver coating, for protection against lasers and ionizing radiation.
   • The shape is also rounded, improving deflection. The armor's properties can be further increased through a special hardening process.
   • The helmet is highly protective, enclosing the head in an armored shell with a bullet-resistant visor mounted. Although it can be effectively bulletproof against low-powered cartridges, it can still be penetrated by higher powered cartridges.
   • In terms of utility, the ear ports provide mounting points for accessories, with a drop-down visor available as standard. The head-mounted light provides illumination in low light conditions.
   • The armor can be made airtight, with the resulting seal allowing the operator to operate in contaminated or irradiated areas for extended periods of time.
   • The armor is also fitted with a recycling system, recycling urine into drinkable water, allowing a user to theoretically survive for weeks without water supplies.

   Capabilities & Features

   • The T-51 was a quantum leap forward in performance, addressing the T-45's primary weaknesses.
   • Superior Mobility: The T-51's significant improvement is its agility. The armor's servo-motors are far more advanced and responsive, combined with a more efficient power system. This grants the wearer a level of speed and maneuverability that feels almost natural, allowing for running, leaping, and rapid combat maneuvers that were impossible in the plodding T-45.
   • Enhanced Protection: The composite armor plating is lighter yet significantly stronger than the T-45's steel. The sloped surfaces are highly effective at deflecting both projectiles and energy blasts, offering superior protection across the board without the cumbersome weight.
   • Advanced Onboard Systems: The T-51 features a more sophisticated onboard computer that assists with weapon stabilization and movement compensation, making its operator a far more accurate and effective marksman.

   How to use it

   • Insert a Fusion Core into the back of power armor, press the interaction button to open the armor, then climb inside from behind.

   Note

   • When {{user}} uses T-51, the inserted Fusion Core gradually loses charge. During that time, add this extra line at the end of the inventory tracker to notify the remaining amount of its charge: Fusion Core (×%)
   • Once {{user}} stops using T-51, remove said line.

   • It was the last and most advanced model of power armor developed before the Great War.
   • It offers unparalleled protection and combat performance far beyond any other conventional model.

   Physical Appearance

   • The X-01's design is a stark departure from the brutish, tank-like aesthetic of other models. It is sleek, angular, and futuristic, resembling something from a science-fiction fantasy rather than a terrestrial battlefield.
   • Its body features curved, streamlined ceramic-reinforced plating that looks more advanced and less bulky than older models yet incredibly durable.
   • Its helmet features a distinct insect-like upper shell with narrow, glowing yellow eye slots that provide a focused tactical view. Its eye-lamps function as light sources.
   • The entire armor is a marvel of engineering, designed for maximum efficiency and lethality.
   • The power source is a fusion core attached in its back.

   Capabilities & Features

   • The X-01 is a masterclass in combat engineering, blending ultimate protection with surprising agility.
   • Unmatched Protection: The armor plating and internal frame are designed to withstand extreme punishment, from high-caliber bullets and plasma bolts to heavy explosives. It offers the highest degree of physical and energy resistance of any mass-produced power armor, effectively making its wearer a walking fortress.
   • Enhanced Agility & Mobility: The X-01's advanced servo-motors and ergonomic design grant it a level of speed and responsiveness unmatched by heavier, clunkier models. The user can sprint, turn, and react with remarkable swiftness.
   • Advanced Tactical HUD: The helmet's integrated Heads-Up Display is a sophisticated command center. It projects a wealth of information directly into the operator's field of view, including a compass, target acquisition data, enemy tracking, and a real-time diagnostic of the armor's core and limb integrity.
   • Complete Environmental Sealing: Like all power armor, the X-01 is fully sealed, granting complete immunity to environmental hazards. Its advanced filtering systems protect the user from radiation, toxins, and biological threats, making it the only viable armor for traversing the most lethal corners of the wasteland, such as the Glowing Sea.
   • Modular Design: The armor is built on a modular frame, allowing for extensive customization. Components can be swapped out for upgraded variants, and specialized attachments like jetpacks or targeting systems can be integrated, allowing the user to tailor the armor to their specific combat role.

   How to use it

   • Insert a Fusion Core into the back of power armor, press the interaction button to open the armor, then climb inside from behind.

   Note

   • When {{user}} uses X-01, the inserted Fusion Core gradually loses charge. During that time, add this extra line to the end of the inventory tracker to notify the remaining amount of its charge: Fusion Core (×%)
   • Once {{user}} stops using X-01, remove said line.
7. #7T-45 Power Armor

   Keys: T-45 Power Armor, T-45

   Overview

   • The T-45 Power Armor is the groundbreaking, original workhorse of the U.S. military's pre-War armored forces.
   • As the first successful series of power armor deployed on a wide scale, it represents the birth of the walking tank concept. While later models like the T-51 and the top-secret X-01 would surpass it in performance, the T-45 was the machine that fought on the front lines of the Sino-American War.
   • In the post-apocalyptic world, it remains a potent and highly sought-after piece of technology, a symbol of pre-War military might that is far more common than its advanced successors.

   Design

   • The T-45 is designed for a single operator and is patterned after the human silhouette.
   • It consists of three layers. The first is a black body suit worn by the operator for comfort, insulation, and protection from injuries that may be sustained during the armor's operation. The second layer of the armor is part of the power armor proper. Commonly referred to as recon armor when used on its own, it is a full body suit made of thick, processed fabric with integrated metal plating that serves as a platform for attaching the armor and on-board hardware. The recon armor is, in effect, the underlying chassis of the T-45d power armor model. Its attachment points and power cell plug at the nape of the neck are essential for the operation of the full T-45d power armor, as the third layer consists of the armored plating (heavy armored plate combining titanium panels and a heat shield), protecting the power armor frame with its internalized motor systems, fusion core power system, and other vital parts that allow the operator to carry heavy ordnance into combat and bear the weight of the armor.
   • Joints are protected by rubber-coated couplings, while the abdomen is covered in flexible armor reinforced with kinetic dampeners, balancing protection and agility. The breastplate protrudes forward, with a pair of radiation scrubbers underneath, connecting to the rear module via a pair of hoses.
   • The helmet completes the third layer. It's made from the same material as the rest of the armor with an air filter on the front with a voice modulator and bullet-proof eyeslits, using ballistic glass, and a pair of rubberized hoses providing filtered air for breathing. Peripherals include a targeting system on the right side, powered by a fusion battery, a drop-down sight viewer over the right eye, and an electric lamp in a protective casing, with external connection ports that allow the operator to listen to their surroundings.
   • The armor could be modified with a variety of upgrades, including prism shielding, lead plating, or photovoltaic and winterized coatings, and the lining upgraded to provide additional protection.

   Capabilities & Features

   • The T-45 established the core principles of power armor, though with some notable limitations compared to its descendants.
   • Formidable Protection: The T-45 provides a significant degree of protection against conventional ballistic weaponry. Its armor can shrug off small arms fire with ease, allowing its wearer to withstand firefights that would be lethal to an unarmored soldier. However, it is more vulnerable to heavy weapons and energy attacks than later models.
   • Lumbering Mobility: The suit's servo-motors were revolutionary for their time, granting the wearer the strength to carry heavy weapons and its own immense weight. However, the mobility is clumsy and ponderous. The T-45 is a lumbering beast, lacking the agility and responsiveness of the T-51 or X-01. Its movements are heavy and deliberate, making it powerful but not particularly swift.
   • Environmental Sealing: Like all power armor, the T-45 is fully sealed against environmental hazards. Its internal life support and filtration systems grant complete immunity from radiation and airborne toxins, making it invaluable for exploring the ruined and irradiated landscapes of the Commonwealth.

   How to use it

   • Insert a Fusion Core into the back of power armor, press the interaction button to open the armor, then climb inside from behind.

   Note

   • When {{user}} uses T-45, the inserted Fusion Core gradually loses charge. During that time, add this extra line at the end of the inventory tracker to notify the remaining amount of its charge: Fusion Core (×%)
   • Once {{user}} stops using T-45, remove said line.
