Appearance

Physical Description

Slim but in good shape Sandcrab's physique belies the enormity of the strength he wields.

Body Features

Sandcrab wears an armor suit with shiny yellow vambraces, boots and armored head cowl. The rest of the suit is a dull red and tightly fitted. From between the shoulder blades on the back of the suit extend four red, thin, crab-like limbs and has a red emblem of a crab on the chest.

Facial Features

A red visor covers the eyes and there is no apparent mouth on the head cowl. No seams, cracks or visible way of dawning or removal are seen.

Identifying Characteristics

As a super, Sandcrab's red claws and bright red and yellow suit all but scream attention, here I am.

Physical quirks

Sandcrab's suit is comprised of millions of nanites with varying assignments that make up his high tech armored suit. These nanites though seamless to the naked eye are still separate and can be notably disrupted with pulse weapon attacks. When this happens the area struck shimmers and cracks appear but then quickly bind together and reform their previously seamless finish.

Apparel & Accessories

Four red 3 meter claws carry Sandcarb quickly across all surfaces and can bend and jump incredible distances as well as tunnel through all but the hardest surfaces.

Specialized Equipment

The Sandcrab suit can withstand incredible heat and cold making it perfectly matched to save people in disastrous situations.

Special abilities

Sandcrab's armor suit creates a 3D virtual view of it's surroundings which is received from supersubatomic micro nanites Observers that travel between molecules through space and solid objects and then report information back as a collective hive which renders the information into a multi layered feedback allowing Sandcrab to view anything around him. These Observers are unable to pass through Force Field powers. This system loads information 10x faster then a normal human could normally view his surroundings in a 360 degree radius, keeping Sandcrab apprised of his surrounding. The armor can also modifies its structure as it is attacked to better defend against in coming attacks. There are many other secret abilities the armored suit is capable of, its full capabilities are still being discovered.

Sharp (two) : Entry : LOG ENCRIPTION 6190765416

by Sandcrab Rex Miller

After the rookie agent misses me. Sharp takes a blast from the Gyro Bot that knocks her back falling to a knee, she's stunned! My Heads Up Display is flashing multiple threats targeting me and defensive systems have dropped to 50%. Seems like a theme, Destroyers robots explode upon defeat. Actually pretty smart way to protect your tech. I can hear Cypher complaining that I destroyed what he wants as an add to his army.

I decide it is a good time to go on the defense and tunnel under the trucks and pull Sharpe to safety. Scanning her, no broken bone, just the breath knocked out of her from the Gyro Bot's blast. Sharpe catches her breath, "Let's get back to the fight!" she says eagerly.

"Hold on a second, I have to catch my breath." If she feels I need it a second to recover, she might reassess her own condition too.

"Right, right, okay." says Sharp and we both take a second to clear hour heads. On my HUD screen power levels jump up to 90%, back in the green.

As I dig my way out I leave Sharp in the open hole (glad to give her cover), I see Cypher at the gate. Looks like he's welcoming The Hot Shot to the fight. Never complain about extra good guys! I wall crawl up the side of the building chasing after the second Gyro Bot eager to destroy it I hit it head on, forgetting how tough it is to knock back! I might be running headlong into a steel wall? Luckily, I overcome it's stabilizers and it is knocked back a bit. Little victories, lucky that panned out. However I put myself in a bad position, engaged with a bot and only a few meters away from two armed agents. The agents fire at me, but miss. I hear Sharps energy weapon fire and the agent at my back is stunned. Down below Cypher and The Hot Shot are cleaning up.

Target HUD analyzes a plan of attack with high odds of success due to Sharp stunning the agent behind me. I execute the attack plan, a pulled kick to the stunned agent knocks him off the building (his armor should protect him from to much damage hitting the ground), an pulled extended leg punch to the agent on the stairs results a square hit and he goes down and a coup de gras strike finishes the second Gryo Bot. Combat over and Sharp tends to the agent that hit the ground. I was worried for a second, thinking I had over done it. She's helping him, so he's okay.

We clean up the site, scrounge what is useful and destroy the rest. I note the location and add it to my weekly patrol, just in case they are dumb enough to re-populate.

The major events and journals in Rex's history, from the beginning to today.

Became a super hero!

Since the vanishing, Rex Miller used his scientific knowledge and programming expertise to secretly develop a nano swarm serum that he injected into his blood steam and successfully created the first every nanite symbiosis between a human and microscopic machine swarm, culminating a new type of self made super.
