Inka’s armor, first try

140219_162245

First try on Inka’s armor. It’s an energy armor that uses “old world” tech. The plates on it have a jelly-like inner that starts glowing when the armor readies for the fight. Inka is good at punching things but he doesn’t want to. Inka’s not a violent type. He does what his “master” tells him to just because it’s a job. His favorite hobbies are watching the nature and communicating with it. Inka is half human, half cyborg, of unknown origin. He was found by his “master”, dying in the desert after he received a beating from some villagers. He does not fully remember how to use his armor and his cyborg skills, he thinks he’s human and has some trouble understanding the facts. I’m not yet sure of the color to use on his armor. This green is cool, but red would be more intimidating, right? ^.^ It could be color changing too.

Inka’s favored weapon is one that shoots poison ampule’s. He doesn’t like to kill so he uses non-lethal poisons he extracts from plants and poisonous animals. The weapon uses a sort of a battery to charge, the battery fixed at Inka’s hip is inexhaustible. Inka’s secondary weapon is a curved knife, but he uses a pistol that shoots an energy beam on a wavelength lethal to everyone and everything, and which also has the same inexhaustible power source. All Inka’s weapons are somehow linked to his armor and build a symbiosis with his human parts. With his cybernetic brain he can link to anything digital, and he’s able to scan and detect other individuals using any kind of tech. He’s aware of Naga’s presence when his mostly human companion isn’t, and keeps this a secret.

After I finished this sketch I thought it would look much better if those jelly-metal-whatever-plates would be ellipse instead of boring square. There could be some round ones too, and the human side of his body could have a little bit different armor? We will see. ^^
