OOC: This is the beginnings of an armor I have created with a little help. Will add more as time goes by. Feedback appreciated.

IC: Sulfur Type I Battle Armor

Description: The Sulfur Type I Battle Armor is made up of a smartly designed ceramic-titanium alloy. A mesh of complex sensor arrays stretches around the body, including conductive nanotubes that connect the surface of the armor the interior. When the condition of the armor changes, self-diagnostic systems located throughout the armor detect and respond to the change like an intricate network of autonomic reflex nerves. This acts as a damage control response system, performing functions such as applying ranged degrees of pressure to various bodily organs to keep them safe and working at optimal efficiency or rerouting armor signals through emergency auxiliary circuits. At the same time any holes or tears in the armor are repaired to some degree -- by a kind of "nanopaste" that's secreted automatically from the valves near the damaged area. Small arms fire is practically useless against the ceramic-titanium alloy.

The Core Power System for the Sulfur Type I is outfitted with artificial muscle tissue. The artificial muscle consists of advanced actuators that imitate human muscle tissue. It is made of a macromolecular fiber that conducts electricity. The suit is flexible enough to perform complex series of motions smoothly and effortlessly. Soldiers who have tested this suit in combat conditions report it felt like a second skin.

The Sulfur Type I Battle Suit also offers an extremely advanced co-operation engagement capability, using the in-built Geola protocol as the primary relay system it allows several suits to mutually exchange combat data and other important pieces of information in mere seconds. Because of this progressive technology suits can then manage threats through notification, pursuit and interception -- all in the life-like manner.

As the ST I Suit was designed to be worn constantly during combat it was found to, after an extended period of wearing the suit, overheat the user. This caused severe dehydration and induced many Ill-effects including headaches to severe migraines, dizziness, vomiting and in extreme cases, hallucination. This problem was later solved after adding another network of tubing into the suit, this time containing a long lasting coolant.

OOC: Looks fun, albeit expensive. Probably not very easy to hide though. For a second I thought the suit was made out of Sulfur.

OOC: No I can assure you its definately NOT made of Sulphur. It is a mere codename of the project until we put this suit into production. We are also planning on releasing a helmet which would brother the suit, along with a rifle utilizing the special features of both pieces of equipment (The FN-904).
