DvN: RP | Roblox

Timeline Is In 2044-2045.

The Demographics of the Sinking Baseplate

Dummies (Dominians)

• Skin Color: Uniform pale-to-dark grey skin tones with matched dark, minimalistic facial features.
• Physical Traits: Possess lean, slender, wide-shouldered body shapes. They lack internal body heat, rendering them entirely immune to sub-zero, freezing arctic environments. Their large, blocky hands are evolutionary adaptations from ancestral digging through cold, icy terrain.
• National Context: Homogenous populace native to the western continent of Elison. They are unified under the highly aggressive, expansionist, and heavily militarized imperial banner of the Dominion of Pinzhao.

Noobs (Nusians)

• Skin Color: Distinctly multi-toned and colorful, traditionally presenting with a yellow head and matching arms, a solid blue torso/abdomen, and bright green legs.
• Physical Traits: They are physically robust, muscular, and stand roughly 6 centimeters taller than Dummies on average. Their society is highly diverse and multiracial, heavily influenced by corporate consumerism and hyper-fixated on extreme, traditionalist bodily beauty standards.
• National Context: Native to the eastern continent of Erikase and governed by the heavily industrialized, high-tech technocracy of the Republic of Nusia.

Guests (Guesans)

• Skin Color: Clean, pale porcelain-white skin paired with dark facial features.
• Physical Traits: They share a near-identical body structure with Dummies but are noticeably shorter, standing around 3 centimeters below the average Dummy height. They are the only main grey-skinned group that naturally develops single-toned, vibrant hair colors.
• National Context: Culturally distinct from Dummies, they reside under the Autonomous Administrative Republic of Guesa, operating essentially as a heavily restricted commonwealth under Nusian military oversight.

Bacons (Bacians) - EXTINCT

• Skin Color: Human-like, natural pink-and-tan flesh skin tones.
• Physical Traits: The direct, un-mutated descendants of the ancestral Robloxian race. They completely lacked the blocky, wide, colorful anatomy of the other three races, instead possessing skinnier, elongated, human-proportioned body builds, traditionally topped with greasy, layered brown hair.
• Status and Lore: Completely extinct by the modern events of the war. Originally from the peaceful southern nation of Bacane, their lands were systematically invaded and conquered during early territorial expansion by the Dominion of Pinzhao. The remaining fragmented population ultimately vanished from the baseplate due to short natural lifespans, dwindling birth rates, and a severe, widespread infertility disease.

World Composition & Genesis

• Creation: The entire world exists on a flat, planetary baseplate created by a divine figure named Builderman (or David).
• The Sinking: The modern world became fragmented when David accidentally unanchored the baseplate. It sank into rising waters, leaving behind small islands and two central, surviving landmasses.
• Left Continent (Elison): The smaller western hemisphere, primarily acting as the homeland to the Dummies.
• Right Continent (Erikase): The larger, C-shaped eastern hemisphere characterized by hostile internal seas, steppes, and expansive jungles.

The Four Remaining Civilizations

• Dummies (Dominians): Grey-skinned, homogenous beings native to Elison. Governed by the highly aggressive, expansionist Dominion of Pinzhao.
• Noobs (Nusians): A heavily mixed-color populace (yellow skin, blue torsos, green legs) native to Erikase. Governed by the highly industrialized Republic of Nusia.
• Guests (Guesans): Shorter, grey-skinned individuals culturally separate from Dummies. They act mostly as a commonwealth under Nusian control following major historical wars.
• Bacons (Bacians): Direct, human-proportioned descendants of the original ancestral Robloxian race. Their nation was largely conquered and driven to extinction by the expansionist Dummies following the unanchoring event. Basic facts: Nusia IS racist towards Dominia. Dominia IS racist towards Nusia. Guesan is “technically” allied with both sides, but Nusia is the one controlling it while Dominia is funding it to escape.

The Great War & Game Setting

• Prequel Era: Decades of proxy wars, space races, and localized military conflicts (such as the events of Guesa) set the stage for total escalation.
• The Catalyst: The Dominion of Pinzhao secretly funded Guest independence groups to disrupt the Republic of Nusia. When Nusia discovered this, border skirmishes exploded into a global total war in the year 2039.
• Modern Conflict: Environmental collapse from the sinking baseplate and heavy industrial wreckage caused severe resource scarcity, plunging the war into a brutal, meat-grinder attrition stalemate.
• Stronghold 5-5: Players assume the role of an elite Dummy defense squad stationed at the very last frontier, desperately trying to survive wave after wave of advanced Nusian military offensives.

Nusian Armed Forces Unit Catalog

Basic Infantry & Stealth Units

• Infantry: The standard conscripted backbone of the Nusian army. They wear standard olive-drab combat uniforms and basic infantry helmets over their yellow skin. They attack in dense hordes using standard full-auto service rifles and frequently hurl fragmentation grenades to pressure entrenched targets.
• Cloaker: Cybernetically augmented shock troops outfitted in high-tech dark suits, a chest-mounted tactical vest, and a chemical-powered exoskeleton battery rig worn on the back. They wear a protective combat helmet combined with high-visibility night-vision goggles or a gas mask. Lacking firearms, they use pure speed to sprint toward targets and deliver high-velocity dropkicks to incapacitate targets instantly.
• Shielder: Frontline vanguard units wearing heavy, blast-resistant ballistic chest armor and reinforced combat helmets. They carry an oversized, metal ballistic riot shield alongside a semi-automatic shotgun, absorbing incoming fire to cover advancing infantry squads behind them.
• Saboteur: High-mobility infiltration units dressed in lightweight, dark operational jumpsuits and specialized stealth headgear equipped with scanning optics. Tasked with hacking and disabling defensive structures, they prioritize targeting fortifying hardware and place sappers to neutralize electronics.

Advanced & Heavy Infantry

• Gunner: Heavy suppression units heavily equipped in a thick combat longcoat, tactical body armor, and a full-face industrial gas mask. They wield high-capacity rotary miniguns, unleashing continuous, devastating streams of automatic fire that shred defenses and force targets into deep cover.
• Sniper: Elite long-range marksmen disguised in camouflaged ghillie-style tactical gear or dark field uniforms, topped with a specialized scouting cap and long-range targeting visors. They utilize high-caliber sniper rifles equipped with laser sights, locking onto targets from afar to deliver massive, targeted damage.
• Grenadier: Tactical field units wearing insulated hazard suits, extended blast coats, and heavy-duty gas masks with glowing eye optics. Wielding specialized chemical or explosive launchers, they focus on area denial by blanketing choke points with explosive shells or toxic payloads.
• Jetpacker: High-altitude airborne units wearing streamlined aviation flight suits, pilot helmets, and a heavy dual-thruster rocket pack secured to the torso. They use thrust packs to bypass ground obstacles, rain down suppressive fire from above, and rapidly reposition to flank defensive lines.
• Engineer: Field support personnel wearing utility cargo pants, heavy tool belts, a distinctive engineer's backpack, and a protective welding mask or bulletproof visor. They deploy tactical structures like Teleporters to warp in reinforcements or defensive Sentries that they slowly upgrade over time across three distinct levels:
  • Level 1 (Initial Build): A light defensive emplacement with a single automatic gun frame. It takes a brief moment to lock onto a visible target—indicated by a yellow targeting laser and a distinct warning beep—before initiating continuous fire.
  • Level 2 (Reinforced): Structurally reinforced with a secondary metal barrel casing. It features enhanced twin automatic guns that deliver a drastically increased rate of fire to multiply its overall damage.
  • Level 3 (Maxed Defense): Heavily reinforced steel chassis. In addition to rapid-fire bullet damage, it gains an integrated heavy rocket launcher pod that periodically locks onto targets to deploy a devastating, explosive rocket salvo.

Exclusive Support Units

• Tranquilizer: A specialized utility unit deployed in specific operations, recognizable by their medical-hazard aprons, tactical berets, and specialized dart pouches. They stay at a distance and fire dart rifles that make targets slow, sluggish, and lower their defenses. The chemical darts also leave a trail of highly acidic fluid on the ground that dissolves armor and health pools.
• Medic: Pure combat support units wearing clean white-and-red field medic uniforms, armband cross insignia, and light protective helmets, carrying a specialized medical healing pack rather than defensive weapons. They link up with and pocket another frontline soldier to continuously restore their health and grant them massive damage resistance. Over time, they can trigger an overcharge that grants absolute invulnerability to themselves and their targeted ally. (Medigun)
• Administrator: High-ranking command officers dressed in formal, dark military dress uniforms adorned with ranking badges, formal peaked caps, and officer holsters. Equipped with heavy-caliber sidearms, they coordinate operations on the ground and serve as high-value priority targets among the specialized support infantry.

Mechanical Support

• Ranger: Agile, autonomous robotic quadrupeds built with an unpainted, angular metallic chassis and a glowing central optic sensor lens. They are programmed to hunt down targets and detonate their internal payloads upon close proximity.

Heavy Mechanical Support

• APU (Amplified Personnel Unit): Heavy bipedal combat mechs wrapped in bullet-deflecting ricochet armor plating and piloted by a visible, vulnerable Operator. They drop forcefully into the combat zone to flush out squads at close range using a high-velocity flamethrower and lethal mechanical melee strikes.
• Tank: An heavily armored, tracked combat vehicle featuring a reinforced front chassis and high health reserves. It roams the battlefield targeting deployables and players by locking onto them with a high-velocity, explosive railgun alongside a rapid-fire close-defense turret.

Extremely Heavy Mechanical Support

• Platform: A massive, towering quadrupedal mechanized vehicle acting as a late-game juggernaut, built entirely from riveted Guesan steel and dark structural beams. Its outer hull is heavily armored and completely immune to conventional small-arms fire. It functions as a mobile artillery battery that fires heavy tungsten shells across the entire battlefield. To protect itself, it features four automated interceptor emplacements that actively shoot down incoming rockets and grenades. Destroying all four of these vulnerable turrets damages its main frame, but triggers an enraged state that strips its armor plating away in exchange for a drastically accelerated weapon firing rate.

Elite Nusian Boss Commanders & Lore

Early Assault Commanders

• Daedalus: An elderly, veteran miner who survived decades of brutal industrial labor before being drafted. He is the oldest active boss at over 60 years old. He exhibits severe violent tendencies and is fueled by resentment over his conscription. He marches into battle clad in heavy, grime-covered industrial mining armor, a reinforced miner's helmet, and a rugged rebreather mask. He wields an oversized, high-temperature thermal mining laser capable of melting through reinforced structures and incinerating targets at medium range.
• Tempest (Fulgur Salamasi): A young, fast-paced 19-year-old college student whose entire family was forcibly drafted into the Nusian military. He has a lighter skin complexion due to his mixed half-Noob, half-Guest heritage. He wears lightweight grey and electric-blue tactical gear, a combat helmet, goggles, fingerless gloves, and features two massive Tesla coils strapped directly to his back rig. He carries a heavy, custom-engineered lightning rifle designed to discharge devastating chain-lightning arcs that automatically fry tightly grouped targets.
  • Sibling Lore: He has an older brother named Arden Salamasi, famously known as Calar from HELLMET. Born in 2012, Calar joined the Nusian Army as a teenager and served in the elite special forces detachment Fireteam 6 during the Guesan conflict. Calar is canonically deceased by the timeframe of the main war. Tempest also has an older sister and his father was drafted as well.
• Fusilier (Nurem Pacet): A reclusive, highly misanthropic 26-year-old soldier deeply traumatized after both of his parents were killed following their conscription. He harbors intense hatred for non-Noobs and is notoriously hyper-critical of his allies. He wears dark, reinforced trench armor and a heavy ballistic helmet that conceals his face. He wields a massive, specialized anti-fortification rifle that fires high-velocity piercing munitions to punch straight through hardened defensive lines.
• Lelantos: A highly elusive 28-year-old operational asset whose exact identity remains heavily classified. Rumored to have extensive ties to secretive espionage organizations, she sports a lean, athletic build. She wears a unique uniform that lacks the standard blue torso of her fellow Noobs, choosing a yellow suit alongside distinct arm tattoos and a dark cloaking vest. She operates entirely by relying on advanced invisibility tech, sabotaging mechanical devices like F.A.S.T, utilizing a high-caliber sidearm and stealth strikes using metal mantis blades.

Frontline and Tactical Leaders

• Achilles (Augute Mandetle): A quiet, deeply introverted 25-year-old former tax agent who served in the Nusian territorial reserves before being mobilized as the Chief Commander of all southern forces. He suffers from a rare physical condition that causes abnormally long hair, which he hides out of intense embarrassment beneath a tactical boonie hat. He is outfitted in high-ranking officer field armor and a tactical chest rig. He carries an advanced, handheld energy barrier deployer that projects an impenetrable frontline shield from a drone named “D.A.V.I.D”, paired with a heavy railgun named the “Armour Peeler” or “D.A.V.I.D” to pressure targets while maintaining a slow, unstoppable forward advance.

• Gaia (Actaea Kejayas): A 31-year-old elite Nusian battle medic born into an apathetic, uncaring wealthy family in 2013. Following the death of her uncle, she assumed care of her young cousin, Cecilo Duramas. After Cecilo went missing on June 7th, 2036, a cash-strapped police force ignored the case due to Nusia's broader economic crisis. Desperate for money to hire an expensive private investigator to find her missing cousin, Gaia enlisted in the Nusian Army at age 23. Emotionally detached and completely numb from years of fruitless searching, she treats the war with minimal effort. Unlike standard medics who wear white outfits, she wears the classic yellow skin tone paired with a black beanie, a dark scarf, a protective vest, and a distinct backpack with a long communication antenna. She deploys directly alongside a specialized squad of personal Escort Gunners and Escort Shielders who provide heavy suppressive fire to cover her. She wields a unique, custom-made purple Medigun that serves a dual purpose: it radiates restorative energy (Vitarage) to continuously heal her surrounding escort squad while actively draining the vital life force of nearby enemies to replenish her own health. Upon reaching max vitarage, she will deploy a dome hexagon purple barrier that shields her and any nusians from any weapons, and heals every nusian inside the dome. Fact: She smokes weed and her escorts hate her for it.

• Prometheus (Astarte Netter): An empathetic, self-sacrificing 48-year-old tactician and former firefighter who privately wrestles with severe PTSD, fear, and cowardice stemming from a horrific past event known as the Dracstor Firestorm, where he failed to save his team. Despite his intense trauma and psychological breakdown at the sight of fire, his military instructors forced him into special infantry deployment and equipped him with an industrial-grade flamethrower. He continually forces himself to the frontline to shield his younger subordinates from the meat-grinder of war, utilizing devastating waves of localized fire and thermal energy to burn away defensive structures.

• Trident (Sebate Matlo): A grim, troubled 32-year-old former riot-control officer who was shamed and pushed into extreme poverty by society after accidentally killing a protestor during a riot in 2037. He was forcibly drafted into the military in late 2041. He wears a high-visibility combat visor and heavy riot gear. He enters the field utilizing a high-tension structural grappling hook to yank himself across the battlefield, wielding a massive, lethal custom chainsword nicknamed "Ronin".

• Sparta: A fiercely dedicated 26-year-old zealot who was raised by monks in the remote Nusian mountains to master the sword while embracing heavy technological modifications. Conscripted in 2039, he features intricate facial and arm tattoos. He wears heavy armor plates on his back and a high-mobility jetpack rig. He charges directly into melee combat with superhuman speed, executing ground-slam shockwaves and dual-wielding massive specialized blades called "Khanblades". Fact: Known for splitting people in half with his “Khanblades” Air Support and Supreme Command

• Hermes: An elite mechanical air operation rather than a standard foot commander. The unit consists of a high-tech combat helicopter deployed directly to the battlefield to lock down open airspace. It is built from reinforced Nusian alloy and features heavy rotor blades and side-mounted thruster wings. The vessel comes equipped with automated chain-guns and multiple missile launchers to lay down a continuous rain of heavy explosive firepower across open ground.

Nusian Hermes Gunship Personal Operator

• Hermes Operator: The personal pilot tasked with navigating the advanced Nusian tiltrotor gunship. While multiple Hermes airframes exist within the military, this specific operator is the only standard unit deployed directly as a major boss asset. The pilot utilizes a dedicated communication link to receive target data, as the gunship's tracking system cannot naturally distinguish between friendly yellow-skinned Noobs and hostile grey-skinned Dummies.

• Appearance and Visuals: The operator remains concealed inside the heavy glass cockpit during combat. Upon the explosive destruction of the gunship frame, the deceased operator's body physically ejects and falls from the burning mechanical wreckage down to the battlefield below.

• The Mastermind: An elite, high-ranking 51-year-old Nusian super-general who orchestrates massive planetary military operations entirely from a secure tactical command bunker. He wears an immaculate, highly decorated black-and-gold supreme commander dress uniform, a formal peaked officer's cap, and a life-support monocle optic over his yellow face. He directly coordinates global battlefield logistics, deploying massive orbital rodstrikes, calling in gunship strafing runs, and managing the macro-movements of entire regiments. When forced to deploy directly to the field as a last resort, he pilots a colossal, heavily armed bipedal command mech. (wields a large “MRG grenade launcher” appearance that shoots out things that deal heavy damage, like MRG grenade launchers, it has 6 ammo and need to reload, The mastermind can eject out of the mech, the mech has a turret The Mastermind can use and it will lock onto targetting, shooting at them, also has a jetpack, regen fuel fast, extremely powerful burst from anywhere, up the sky, forwards or even backwards.) Also the Leader of All noobs.

Elite Nusian Endgame Faction Assets

• Zeus: A highly disruptive, long-range tactical zoning boss who coordinates directly with the military command. He features slicked-back brown hair and wears custom tactical sunglasses over a specialized combat uniform. Surrounded by an unstable, crackling cyan electrical aura, he spawns with extreme structural defensive reinforcement that slowly dissipates over time. He wields a heavy, customized automatic rifle firing high-voltage cyan tracers and utilizes direct comms to call in global airstrikes—including rodstrikes, explosive artilleries, and massive orbital gunship strafing runs. (Note: Due to his super-unit status, he has no officially designated age).

• Ares: A massive, heavily armored super-soldier who stands as one of the ultimate, near-immortal patriots of the Nusian military. Driven by a cold, bloodthirsty personality, he fights with absolute ruthlessness. He features close-cropped white hair and a distinct red mechanical oculus glowing over his left eye. He is outfitted in full-body ballistic plating, including a bulletproof right shoulder pauldron. He carries a heavy, custom light machine gun, a custom white-painted Rocket Stormer that fires homing warheads to hit targets behind cover, anti-infantry explosives, and a lethal tactical blade. He possesses advanced, cybernetic cell-regeneration that allows him to instantly self-resurrect and heal to full health multiple times upon collapse. Because of his immense strategic value, he is kept strictly in reserve and will rarely appear on the battlefield unless Nusia's strategic position has turned completely desperate. (Note: Because his durability is artificially simulated, he is technically older than most frontline units but lacks a specific age).

MISSING IN ACTION (MIA) Commanders

• Wall of Jericho: An old, heavily defensive veteran vanguard unit cut early from deployment due to extreme operational imbalance. He is afflicted with "Wall disease"—a rare, severe condition causing his body to prematurely age and harden into stone-like density. He enters the theater of war wearing an impenetrable suit of front-facing armor plates and advances slowly while wielding a devastating, heavy M134 Minigun equipped with an attached ballistic gunshield. While his front armor and shield easily deflect all incoming frontal projectiles, his critical weak points are two exposed, damageable gas canisters strapped directly to his back rig.
• Icarus: An early Nusian aviation engineer and mechanical operator cut from primary frontline operations. He is canonically mixed, being half-Nusian and half-Guesan. He commands a custom military transport helicopter styled closely after an advanced tiltrotor aircraft. He commands the airspace from above, utilizing dual under-slung weapon pods to saturate the ground below before his concepts were ultimately reused and optimized to build the modern Hermes airframe. Dominian kits:

1. The Specialist Kit Currency: Scrap The Specialist relies entirely on Scrap, a unique resource that also serves as the ammunition for their primary weapon. Generation: You start each intermission with 40 Scrap. During waves, you automatically gain 10 Scrap every 5 seconds up to a base cap of 200. Combat Gain: You can bypass the 200 Scrap cap by landing successful weapon hits on Noobs. Usage: Spent to deploy tactical strikes via the Tablet.

Kit Weapons & Equipment Burst Rifle (Primary): The Specialist's starting weapon. It consumes Scrap for ammo and generates Scrap back on hit. It can be upgraded at a weapon station into two distinct paths: Stonewall: The high-DPS, offensive upgrade variant. Steelforge: The utility/handling variant, heavily favored by the community for team support. The Tablet (Strike Command): A utility weapon used to call down specialized support strikes. Available command options include: Artillery Strike (Damage) Neural Cloud (Gas/Damage over time) EMP (Stuns mechanical enemies) Knockout / Airburst Grenade (Stuns humanoid enemies) Ranger (Summons an explosive robotic quadraped that fires sticky grenades, explodes when near an enemy after a warning siren.) Motion Hider: A defensive panic item that gives you 15 seconds of invisibility and a speed boost to escape when you are heavily injured. 2. The Assault kit Known for being a brute, able to take more damage than the rest and dish out more damage. Kit Weapons & Equipment

• Rifle: A full-auto primary firearm used for consistent medium-range engagement and clearing foot soldiers. It can be upgraded into:
  • Harpoon Gun: A tactical variant that fires a grapple to yank enemies closer, pull away enemy shields, and disrupt high-threat targets.
  • Bolter: A heavy variant that fires piercing rounds and utilizes a detonator mechanism.
• Grenade Launcher: A heavy support weapon that fires explosive shells in an arched trajectory to wipe out tightly packed enemy squads and armored mechanical units.
• Shovel: A combat tool used for close-quarters fighting, faster tactical movement, and recovering health during melee strikes.
• Standard Kit Gear: Equipment consisting of a Defibrillator for resuscitating fallen teammates and a field Ammo Box for replenishing team munitions.

Medic (The Field Surgeon)

• Starting Loadout:
  • Medical Bow: A specialized firearm that shoots medical syringes rather than arrows. Hitting injured allies immediately treats their wounds, while hitting a critically incapacitated ally allows for remote resuscitation from a safe distance.
• Can be upgraded into Recurve: A pump-action combat modification that eliminates healing range penalties, standardizes healing output across all distances, and enables immediate resuscitation of any non-mangled fallen ally from any range. It drastically boosts physical firing rate and close-quarters combat damage against hostile forces, though it suffers a heavy penalty to raw medical healing output.
• Can be upgraded into Vitabow: A tactical support model that supplements its syringes with an advanced chemical stimulant. Striking a teammate triggers a significant, long-lasting operational speed boost and heavy physical damage resistance, which also applies temporarily to the Medic. Furthermore, it expands darts with localized area-of-effect healing and can successfully resuscitate teammates who have been severely mutilated or mangled.
• Aidkit: A Medkit. Literally.
• Can be upgraded into: Lifeline Slowly replenishes battery overtime. Generates a healing aura that heals teammates in the range.
• Can be upgraded into: Mercy kill:
• Can be thrown to heal yourself, getting enemy kills will also heal yourself.
• Shovel: A close-quarters entrenching tool used for personal defense. Holding it allows for rapid repositioning, and successful strikes extract energy from the target to close the user's wounds.
• Can be upgraded into Overcharger: A katana enhanced with an advanced device fueled by the life force of its victims. Striking down enemies charges the blade's energy grid. Once sufficiently charged, the user can manually activate the weapon to grant themselves a temporary window of complete invulnerability to almost all incoming forms of damage.
• Can be upgraded into Rallying Cry: A modified tactical melee tool consisting of a pair of paru blades and a field walkie-talkie. It naturally hardens the user with passive damage resistance even when unequipped. When the user deals sufficient damage to hostile forces, they can activate a global broadcast that dramatically increases their own protection and projects a defensive fortifying buff to all nearby allies.

Recon (The Designated Marksman)

• Starting Loadout:
  • DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle): A high-caliber semi-automatic rifle engineered for supreme long-range precision and devastating critical hits.
• Can be upgraded into Gift of Fire: A custom tactical modification that focuses on extreme battlefield ignition. Landing a precise headshot creates a massive incendiary explosion, setting the target ablaze and leaving a puddle of highly flammable oil on the ground to ignite trailing hostile squads.
• Can be upgraded into Armour Peeler: An advanced anti-armor variant that features an integrated charging mechanism. Maintaining focus allows a heavy kinetic charge to build over a few seconds, which increases raw damage output and grants deep, multi-target piercing power. It fully bypasses standard enemy ballistic shields and features an accelerated baseline firing velocity that eliminates environmental bullet drop.
• SMG: A compact, rapid-fire submachine gun deployed as a quick-handling backup firearm when hostile infantry breach the sniper's nest.
• Can be upgraded into Loose Trigger: Modifies the firearm into a highly erratic, hyper-velocity firearm. It drastically increases the weapon's rate of fire and expands its ammunition capacity, allowing the operative to spray a massive wall of bullets to suppress charging squads up close, though it suffers from heavy recoil and decreased accuracy over distance.
• Can be upgraded into Twinface: Replaces the standard firearm with a highly versatile, adaptable tactical configuration. It grants the user the ability to swap between multiple specialized firing modes or operational tunings on the fly, allowing them to dynamically adapt to varying combat distances and different hostile threats.
• F.A.S.T. Beacon: A hand-thrown radio transmitter that paints a specific target zone, communicating coordinates to backline artillery batteries to rain heavy mortar shells onto hostile coordinates.
• Machete: A rugged, single-edged blade used to hack through threats at close range.
• Can be upgraded into Handaxes: Replaces the blade with dual-wielded tactical throwing axes. It adds an extra throwing blade to the inventory and significantly amplifies close-quarters slashing damage. The axes can be thrown to pierce right through heavy ballistic vanguard shields, and successfully dropping hostiles with an axe instantly revitalizes the user's health.
• Can be upgraded into Torqueblade: A heavy, high-tech boomerang-style blade built for crowd clearing. Holding down the deployment throw charges up its internal kinetic alignment grid. Once thrown at full charge, the blade will actively ricochet and chain across multiple nearby unarmored targets before returning, cutting through several advancing infantrymen in a single toss. Scout (The High-Mobility Vanguard)
• Starting Loadout:
  • Akimbo Sidearms: Dual-wielded rapid-fire pistols built for aggressive, close-range hit-and-run tactics. Landing successful shots sharpens the user's reflexes and provides minor physical recovery.
• Can be upgraded into Voltaic Impact: Replaces the standard sidearms with heavy electronic revolvers. It significantly accelerates firing rate and projectile speed, discharging rounds that spark high-voltage chain-lightning arcs to damage clusters of nearby enemies. Firing the weapon while airborne dampens the user's jetpack descent, enabling extended aerial strafing.
• Can be upgraded into Gunslingers: Replaces the baseline sidearms with twin heavy-caliber magnum pistols. It reduces the raw rate of fire in exchange for momentum-based kinetic impact, scaling the damage of each round directly with how fast the user is physically moving. Confirming hits and kills grants stacking movement speed bonuses.
• Jetpack: A high-tech thruster rig strapped to the back that allows the operative to launch high into the air, glide over environmental hazards, or dive directly into hostile territory to extract fallen comrades.
• Can be upgraded into Aerorig: A specialized airborne traversal unit integrated with a tactical grappling hook assembly. It allows the vanguard to latch onto the environment or hostile forces to swing fluidly across the field, recovering health and extending fuel reserves upon neutralizing targets.
• Can be upgraded into Terminal Velocity: An aggressive, combat-oriented flight pack featuring enhanced thrust capacity and a vastly accelerated fuel recovery rate. While airborne, the user can initiate a high-impact, explosive ground slam that generates a massive kinetic shockwave, scattering and disrupting surrounding infantry upon landing.
• Shovel: A lightweight trenching tool that synergizes with the operative's agile nature, allowing them to sprint at extreme velocities when drawing the weapon to outrun incoming fire.
• Can be upgraded into Overcharger: A katana enhanced with an advanced device fueled by the life force of its victims. Striking down enemies charges the blade's energy grid. Once sufficiently charged, the user can manually activate the weapon to grant themselves a temporary window of complete invulnerability to almost all incoming forms of damage.
• Can be upgraded into Rallying Cry: A modified tactical melee tool consisting of a pair of paru blades and a field walkie-talkie. It naturally hardens the user with passive damage resistance even when unequipped. When the user deals sufficient damage to hostile forces, they can activate a global broadcast that dramatically increases their own protection and projects a defensive fortifying buff to all nearby allies. The Baseplate Operational Infrastructure

The Armory

• Purpose and Function: The central tactical depot where operatives manage their loadouts. While personnel deploy into the field with their kit's baseline default weaponry, they visit the Armory to procure alternative firearms, specialized sidearms, and tactical items to suit upcoming mission requirements.
• Operational Logistics: Operatives are granted specialized military resource allocations upon successfully repelling hostile offensives. These resources are directly reinvested to unlock high-tier hardware and equip the squad with versatile survival tools.

The Ammo Fabricator

• Purpose and Function: A vital mechanical resupply kiosk engineered to synthesize physical munitions in the field. When operatives interface with the terminal, it processes resource credits to manufacture fresh ammunition clips and heavy ordnance.
• Personnel Variations: Due to their specialized background in resource management and supply lines, the squad's Engineer can operate the fabrication protocols at twice the efficiency of other classes, extracting double the ammunition yield for the same structural resource cost.

The Upgrade Station

• Purpose and Function: An advanced technological workshop utilized to fundamentally reconstruct weapon architecture. Operatives submit their standard armaments into the station to apply heavy, permanent structural adaptations.
• Modification Protocols: Every processed firearm, utility rig, and combat tool is completely overhauled into one of two highly distinct tactical branches, radically altering how the weapon functions to specialize in different combat roles.

Defibrillator (Standard Medical Device)

• Baseline Function: A universal emergency tool supplied to all operatives. It allows personnel to resuscitate fallen allies back into combat. It takes a brief moment to stabilize a basic downed squadmate, but requires significantly more time to patch up an operative who has suffered a mangled trauma.
  • Can be upgraded into Resuscitator: An advanced trauma rig that grants the user tactical diagnostic vision to monitor the exact survival status of fallen allies. Reviving an operative triggers a massive physical shockwave that instantly resuscitates any other standard downed allies in the immediate vicinity. Furthermore, it channels residual life force into an internal emergency battery grid, enabling the device to automatically self-resuscitate the user back to life upon their own demise.
  • Can be upgraded into Pacemaker: A high-capacity medical rig outfitted with double the standard internal cells. It completely standardizes medical response times, allowing the user to bypass the standard time penalty required to stabilize mangled trauma. Resuscitating an ally instantly restores them to absolute full health while transferring vital energy back to the user to close their own physical wounds. Additionally, the unit's cells can be steadily recharged by engaging in active combat against hostile forces.

Ammo Box (Standard Logistics Pack)

• Baseline Function: A standard-issue equipment pouch carried by all personnel. It contains no personal munitions; instead, it is packed with specialized high-grade battery cells and components used exclusively to manually replenish the ammunition reserves of stationary, automated defenses like the Platformized Defense Cannon (PDC). Operatives carry a limited supply into operations, though the Engineer can manufacture additional packs out of their own personal munitions pool.
  • Can be upgraded into Combat Toolkit: A comprehensive maintenance pack that accelerates structural refilling speed. Utilizing this kit on an automated defense emplacement repairs its physical framing, fortifies its structural durability, and applies a heavy performance overclock that temporarily multiplies both its ammunition damage output and fire rate.
  • Can be upgraded into PROXY: An advanced, wireless tactical transmitter. It allows the combat architect to remotely interact with their automated defenses from a safe distance, enabling them to safely clear hostile electronic sappers, pack up stationary frames for swift relocation, or transmit automated ammunition refills completely across open terrain without exposing themselves to direct fire. The Upgrade Station Compatibility Catalog

The terminal accepts and applies permanent structural modifications to the following standard equipment lines:

• Barrier Kit: Reconstructs the deployable cover into either the B.R.A.C.E. (a personal off-hand energy shield capable of parrying heavy strikes) or the Hallucinator Kit (a throwable holographic projector that baits enemy targets away from the squad).
• PDC Kit (Platformized Defense Cannon): Reconstructs the stationary heavy blueprint into either the Governor Kit (enables manual control over an armor-piercing anti-air turret frame) or the MADS Kit (enables the active deployment of multiple autonomous mini-turrets).

Medic Surgical & Survival Equipment

• Medical Bow: Reconstructs the chemical syringe firearm into either the Recurve (a pump-action variant designed for immediate remote resuscitation across all ranges) or the Vitabow (a support variant injecting tactical speed and damage-resistant stimulants).
• Aidkit: Reconstructs the personal survival medical pouch into either the Lifeline (converts the pouch into a deployable, static floor station that projects a localized area-of-effect healing aura by drawing from team munition reserves) or Mercy Kill (a combat stimulant kit that trades away total raw healing for a temporary surge in movement velocity, damage protection, and lifesteal on kills).

Recon Long-Range Precision

• DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle): Reconstructs the semi-automatic marksman rifle into either the Gift of Fire (an explosive incendiary rifle that leaves burning puddles of oil) or the Armour Peeler (a charged-up precision rifle that punctures right through heavy vanguard shields).
• F.A.S.T. Beacon: Standard artillery marker. (Note: The heavy transmitter remains locked to its baseline operational coordinates and does not connect to the station's upgrade branches).

Universal Secondary Armaments & Field Gear

• Shovel: Reconstructs the basic entrenching tool into either the Overcharger (an energy-charged combat katana that builds toward absolute damage invulnerability) or Rallying Cry (twin paru blades equipped with a radio to project a fortifying barrier to all surrounding allies).
• Machete: Reconstructs the bladed melee defense tool into either Handaxes (dual-wielded throwing axes that pierce armor shields) or the Torqueblade (a weighted boomerang blade that ricochets across rows of unarmored infantry).
• SMG: Reconstructs the compact backup firearm into either Loose Trigger (a hyper-velocity, high-capacity bullet hose) or Twinface (an adaptable weapon offering multiple specialized firing configurations).
• Defibrillator: Reconstructs the squad resuscitation device into either the Resuscitator (enables a mass area revival shockwave and personal self-revive) or the Pacemaker (enables instant resuscitation back to absolute full health while transferring vital energy back to the user).
• Ammo Box: Reconstructs the stationary defense logistics pack into either the Combat Toolkit (repairs, fortifies, and applies a heavy weapon overclock to turrets) or the PROXY (a wireless transmitter to remotely maintain, reload, and pack up defense cannons from afar).
