Powered Armor

Modern power armor is a remarkable technological achievement. With it, a normal Human can perform feats that are impressive even for a Neohuman. The downside of this is that specific neurology and genetic tags are required to fully optimize and secure the units. This is why Powered Armor is typically built for the individual user, and most PA Troopers retain their armor into retirement, with call back clauses in their contract.   There is some debate on if this should classify those humans capable of interfacing with Power Suits should be classified as Neohumans. For the purposes of government and corporate classification they typically are.   Power Suit pilots go through complex and multi-layered psychological, neurological, and genetic testing before training and Suit integration. Part of Power Suit training is also intense physical training, including a regimen of steroidal and genetic treatments.   As Suits are bonded to the wearer as a universal security measure, the functionality of the suit is often particular to the intended job of the wearer, although suits that are locked to a single specific purpose are very rare. They are simply too large and complex a system to be invested into for a very narrow focus.   Simple augmented suits and power lifters do not require the intense training for use and are common sights in warehouse, logisitics, and delivery services.
Types of Powered Suits
  • Augmented Suits - These light accentuation suits help boost speed or strength of the wearer, but typically only to the point of 2-3x human norms.
  • Power Lifters - These semi-automated units rely on a sapient pilot and allow for lifting loads even many Neohumans would find daunting. The slow speed of these units precludes their usefulness in combat.
  • Scouters - Full Power Suits built for high mobility and rapid response.
  • Bunkers - Full Power Suits built with an eye towards high defense and heavy ordenance
  • Blasters - Full Power Suits built to control and neutralize various energy types
  • Rounders - Full Power Suits built to offer a wide range of battlefield options, typically geared towards mid-range to close-range combat.
