Human - The New World Order
Name:
Daniel Aron Conrad
Gender:
Male
Age:
30
NWO Rank:
Battle Operative
Physical Description:
Daniel is a large person, standing at an even 6 feet tall without any armor and is of a muscular build. His eyes are a pale brown colour and add to his overall handsomely rugged face that more often than not has a way of making people trust him on first glance despite his large and intimidating stature. His blond hair is fairy short and messy, but not unattractively so. That is to say, nobody is perfect and he is no exception, especially after being burned alive in what would kill any normal human in a most excruciatingly painful manner.
Despite the best efforts of the NWO scientists that rebuilt his body, his face is slightly disfigured and scarred even after much facial reconstruction surgery. After having most of his skin and muscle damaged from Kehielith's attack, he survives by wearing an advanced bodysuit that serves as a protective membrane covering artificially created biomechanical tissue that was transplanted during emergency surgery. Because the suit itself is essentially a new layer of skin, Daniel himself could technically go about without any clothing, but he still prefers to wear clothes as he prefers to not see himself as any less human than he has to. Therefore he often wears at least the pants and boots of a regular NWO grunt's fatigues and then a large military-style greatcoat over that.

Personality:
Daniel is a person who could be described as a dangerous element who could be put to a much greater use. While he is usually what most doctors would consider legally sane, most psychologists would not think about asking about ghosts and spirits while testing a person for insanity. Under several conditions, he would very easily be considered to be a violently hazardous individual who should be placed under secret government supervision under the pretenses of being a potential terrorist threat more likely to bomb an embassy or attack an army garrison head-on if he had the right to suspect they were harboring spirits, or even killing a person with in cold blood just to be able to prove to them that spirits do in fact exist, so that he could kill them again as a spirit.
He despises foolishness and weakness very much and only respects those who are in his eyes truly worthy leaders, and refuses to be bossed around by those he deems unworthy. Daniel is a strong supporter of Richard and the NWO's ideology of the destruction of all spirits, and is not sympathetic of any casualties who die in the process, ally or innocent alike, especially if they are HALO Storm, he particularly despises them because while he is individually stronger than most of them, their teamwork often grant much more efficiency than his own aggressive solo agent tactics which sometimes makes him jealous or at least angry that his superiors would ever pick them over him for any task.
Despite his extremely violent nature, when he is calm Daniel has a very charming way with words which makes him an ideal negotiator and interrogator, if only for him being able to play both good cop and bad cop by himself. His occasionally charming persuasiveness is often overshadowed by his aggressive temper with a very short fuse keeping him from being his more acknowledged violent and unstable self. He is definitely not a good leader but an excellent one-man army in battle, his reckless nature is prone to cause a deal of collateral which tends to put his allies at risk if he is put in a team.
Daniel has a very superstitious dislike of all spirits, and has a very ruthless attitude regarding them. He believes that all pluses are worthless of any value asides from a fuel source and has no remorse hunting down and capturing any wandering souls he encounters. He sees hollows as an immediate threat to humanity and will go out of his way to eradicate any amount of the masked monsters he can until given orders to cease. Considering shinigami, Daniel used to consider them a secondary risk that would have to be wiped out sooner or later in order to prevent their intervention of the eradication of all spirits, but now will not hesitate to gun them all down should he actually encounter one or ten after the incident at Karakura.
He also suffers from an inferiority complex following his major loss at the hands of the rouge shinigami/hollow, which has left him dependent on his new Spirit Underarmor in order to survive. This change in his life makes him very dangerously volatile when faced with dangerous odds or is confronted by people who just piss him off. It would not be to much of a stretch to refer to Daniel as a force of pure violence trapped in what remains of a human's body.
History:
Daniel was born into a wealthy Polish military family, his father a colonel in the Polish military, his mother an arms dealer representing a major arms manufacturer established after the 2nd World War. Both parents were usually very busy with their jobs and so Daniel was mainly taken care of by the nannys his parents hired, but there was little affection and Daniel grew to dislike the series of woman who tried to raise him and in what one might consider impossible for an 8-year old child to accomplish, drove one of the elderly woman to the edge until she quit, another insane to the point where she actually committed suicide. It was at this point his parents decided it might be wise to take care of their own son themselves.
It was ideal timing, Daniel's father was ready to retire and his mother's employer being bought out by Mallory Arms Corp., She was given a better salary than before and was able to be home more often as well. At the age of 9 Daniel was happy that his parents now able to be with him, and he learned that he had a unique talent at persuasion, able to convince others very easily and often to do things for him that he wouldn't be allowed to do himself. This began with simple things that one might expect of a young child, such as getting out of doing chores or being allowed to have a snack before supper, but it eventually became a powerful tool which Daniel learned to harness and use as a weapon to get whatever he'd want and to control his family and what little friends he did have until they all either died or were driven insane from extended manipulation.
Daniel, at the age of 13, was a dangerous child and began walking the road of crime and corruption. During this time his parents were still alive but rather fragile minded and Daniel was able to grant himself large amounts of money and wealth which he used to further his ambitions at the time, world domination. He eventually managed to grow up after a failed attempt to bomb his hometown's city hall and almost being caught, but luckily for him he covered his tracks and went into hiding for a few months until he managed to frame another man for the incident. Daniel's parents had both died because of years of being manipulated by his powers, which he used to invest in large amounts of money into the black market and other illicit activities, landing him into quite the fortune for someone of his age.
When he actually decided to give up much of his ill-gotten wealth and tried starting a clean slate, at the age of 18, he donated most of his money to various charities and organizations to help him clear his couscous of his sins. He ended up joining the military at the age of 20, but eventually became a mercenary who operated in the war-torn Middle East to help maintain some sense of peace and pious righteousness in order to atone for his parents' deaths when things didn't work out as a soldier in the Polish army because he didn't follow orders well and lacked restraint in most things he did, as well as his supposed insanity ragarding seeing ghosts.
A few years had passed, lots of people killed by his own hands (or at least by the bullets from his guns,) Daniel had discovered the existence of spirits and hollows and shinigami, and he became superstitously paranoid of the supernatural threat, but he didn't act on his deep-down disgust and hatred of the spirits until he learned of an underground organization connected to the company his mother used to work for, Mallory Arms Corp. Daniel began to understand that the spirits must all be eradicated in order for the safety of the living and it was his duty to atone for his sins, and Daniel began to train himself in order to become powerful enough to catch the attention of this organization as a potential new recruit. After a few months of gathering information through various sources, Daniel had determined that this "New World Order", operated in Japan so he began teaching himself the language and caught a flight to Tokyo as soon as he could have a passport forged.
He spent the remainder of that year observing the activities of spirit beings in the city, interrogating pluses, and even battling weak hollows who happened to appear close to his home. This finally attracted the attention of the NWO when one of it's members was killed by a hollow which Daniel was able to finish off before reinforcements could arrive.
Daniel has since proven himself capable as an interrogator and negotiator for the NWO thanks to his abilities, but is also one of the best and most dangerous Battle Operatives in the field with a reputation of bringing carnage and mayhem wherever he is assigned, but his lack of discretion and subtlety is always a major issue and he rarely can cooperate with any of the 5 Commanders, only accepting Richard as his boss while particularly disliking Derrick, perhaps out of envy.
After being a Battle Operative for a few years, he was given the assignment to participate in the cleansing of Karakura Town after a large number of hollows managed to escape NWO captivity, it seemed easy enough at the time. First he was put in charge of a new team of ELITEs and defeated several weaker hollows and a pair of larger, mechanically upgraded hollows. After recapturing these hollows of war, Daniel was teamed up with the charming Stealth Operative, Marisa Truax, in order to investigate the source of the outbreak. After defeating a very powerful canine hollow, they were attacked by Kehieleth, a powerful and ancient hollow whom possessed the body of a shinigami named Azerin. The hollow-possessed shinigami was much stronger than either of them and easily outdid the pair in battle, nearly burning Daniel to death with a powerful spell.
The damages to Daniel's body was phenomenal, but even more so was his ability to survive until Derrick arrived to drive off the vile spirit bastard so that Daniel could be rushed back to HQ for emergency treatment that would completely change his life dramatically. His skin and muscle and many of his innards being greatly damaged, as well his heavy armor being nearly destroyed entirely while also being grafted to what little skin he had left, under normal circumstances he would be a goner, luckily the advanced technology of the NWO payed off, his entire body being preserved and repaired to a non-fatal degree in a relatively short, but awfully painful process that has replaced much of his damaged muscle mass with spiritually-fueled artificial biomechanical implants and has left him encased inside of an advanced, lightweight power suit that is powered mainly by compact batteries planted inside of his body so as not to drain from his own reishi that naturally powers his biomechanical limbs. This suit is designed so that he may also don a powerful Mark II armor over top in case of the need arises for more dangerous missions, but doing so deactivates most of the underarmor's functions and reverts power to the outer armor, making the underarmor function just like the normal full-body suit that all SCS armors come with.
Additional Info:
Useless Trivia Tidbit – Daniel's from Poland, as is also a heavy metal deathcore band which bears the same name as a certain famous villain from a particular series of science-fiction movies consisting of 2 trilogies. Both Daniel and this notorious pop-culture icon have survived being burned alive and afterwards both have been saved by being put inside of a life-support armor. Coincidence? Yes.
Power Level:
Without SCS-II: Level One, Average
Wearing SCS-II: Level Two, Weak
After being defeated by Kehielith, he is now forced to wear a new advanced underarmor suit constantly as his actual body was horribly burned and crippled and outfitted with artificial biomechanical tissue. This constant near-death-like condition does, however, allow his personal reiatsu to grow alarmingly fast in short bursts of adrenaline when in serious danger, making Daniel a berserker in combat.
Physical Transformation:
His eye's dark amber irises turn bright gold and glow with a soothing radiance.
Abilities:
Hypnotic Gaze:
Daniel possesses the power of subtle manipulation, a dangerous ability which allows him to bend the will of the weak minded and those with low reishi. Daniel can manipulate people who look deep into his eyes, making them more vulnerable to interrogation, and also more likely to do as Daniel asks without any argument. Prolonged use can lead to mental damage of the person being manipulated, and eventually can lead to dementia or even death in extreme cases. Do to the obvious possibility of abusing this, this is only effective against NPCs for the most part and any player-controlled character this is used on has every right to be barely affected or even unaffected at all, depending on the strength of the character. Meaning an NPC plus soul could be made to say something he'd otherwise refuse to admit like the location of a sanctuary of lost souls or a dying unseated shinigami might explain how Kido works, where a fellow operative might only have a change in their mood or a shinigami captain would be totally unaffected.
Type: Advanced Underarmor Suit
Description: A basic, skintight suit that keeps Daniel alive with his new biomechanical implants. The suit is in fact a lighter, more skin-like version of the Spirit Stealth Suit, offering about the same level of protection as the SSS and offers him more strength and speed than he could muster without any armor before the accident, while not impeding his movement at all whatsoever, except Daniel himself isn't necessarily a nimble person to begin with so it essentially just allows him to fight using lighter weapons and incorporating more speed than he is used to instead of his old, heavy and cumbersome Spirit Combat Armor. The suit lacks a stealth shield so he is visible to normal humans, however he is able to blend into crowds relatively discreetly since he can wear clothes over the suit.

Equipment:
Custom-made firearm: A powerful handgun desisned to resemble the Israeli-made Desert Eagle, except the bullets it fires are made completely out of solidified spirit particles, instead of simply being spiritually-charged. These bullets offer incredibly high stopping power and can cause serious damage to most mid-strength shinigami just as if it were a real bullet against a regular human, but seeing as most shinigami are capable of taking much more abuse than regular humans it will naturally still require more bullets to kill. There is no actual need to manually reload, because when the magazine is emptied it automatically draws in power from the wielder to solidify new bullets within the ammo clip.
Spirit Blade: Combat knife for melee combat, can parry a zanpakuto belonging to a shinigami of similar strength for a short time, and is able to pierce into the masks of most regular hollows for fatal damage, but the short blade severely limits the effectiveness as a primary weapon, especially against spirits trained in swordsmanship as their primary tactic and monsters who can crush people with their bare hands.
Spirit Tazer Gun: In the form of a small handgun, for subduing weaker opponents with non-lethal force, or simply weakening stronger opponents to follow up with a more lethal weapon. Prone to collect dust from severe lack of use.

Type: Spirit Combat Suit MkII
Description: A highly-upgraded version of the MK2 Aquila, coming close to the peak of MK2 technology before the introduction of the Third-Generation series. Offers maximum protection and performance available by the Aquila model, which while isn't on the same scale of technological godliness as the Defaeco, still is far superior to the MK1 armor that provided insufficient protection against a high-level kido. This suit has been further upgraded to include more protection than the regular Aquila, but its built-in exoskeleton prevents a drop in mobility to the same degree that the defensive upgrades hindered his customized MK1.

Extendable Arm-Blade:
Upgraded from his old suit, this new armor dons a pair of 2 ft long retractable blades hidden in both arms as close-quarters weapons in the even that the enemy gets to close for comfort. The edges of the blades are charged with high amounts of spirit energy and can cut enemies as effectively as a sealed zanpakuto belonging to an medium-strength shinigami. These blades are stronger and more powerful than his old suit's blades, and also are longer in order to give slightly more reach.
Spirit Cannon:
A vastly improved weapon than the now destroyed Spirit Light Machine Gun used by Daniel with his MK1 armor, this handheld monster is more like the arm-mounted cannon upgrades common to some NWO agents than his usual machine gun, because it only fires pure reiatsu bullets instead of reiatsu-charged bullets, eliminating the need to a painstakingly slow reload after 300 shots fired. The Spirit Cannon has 3 firing modes: rapid, medium, and heavy. Rapid-fire shoots hundreds of small energy rounds per minute, much higher rate of fire than his old gun and with barely any recoil, but short in actual stopping power per individual shot. The medium-fire is comparable to the average arm-cannon, able to fire off a blast about as powerful as an arrancar's bala at 1-second intervals. The heavy-fire setting can charge and fire a large beam of energy comparable to a cero, but the cooldown time is very long, requiring a whole 30 seconds before being able to begin charging another shot.

Roleplay Sample:
Daniel followed his teammate through the damaged doorway after being invited by the dead hollow. Probably some sort of trap set up by some clever hollow that made up for it's lack of strength with a high intelligence and resorting to deception and trickery. Unfortunately his own assumption was quickly proven wrong when he entered the dark-lit room. Despite the lack of light, he was able to make out the form of the being using the built-in sensors within his helmet but the specific details weren't clear. When he switched back to normal sight, he was slightly startled to see what he first thought was a shinigami, then appeared to be a hollow, and then he wasn't exactly sure at all. Was it able for an evil spirit to become both shinigami and hollow? The very idea sickened the Battle Operative down to the core.
Then the mutant spirit freak spoke of how their communications were cut off in this room, not the nicest situation, but he'd be able to cope as long as he had his battle armor and machine gun to get him through the fight. The large amount of loose spirit energy being released by the person was very formidable indeed, Daniel's own high personal energy for a human combined with the highly advanced Spirit Combat Armor muffled out a considerable chunk of the pressure but the amount that still got to him was ultimately more than the Battle Operative was used to experiencing. It wasn't physical burdening, in fact it almost heightened his desire for battle and thirst for action, but still dulled his reaction time slightly as the opponent vanished after questioning the effectiveness of their equipment and reappeared behind him.
Just as Daniel was able to notice the... hollowgami, or whatever it was, the hell should Daniel know about what to call it... behind him, he began to turn and face it but only just managed to put his arm up to block the clawed hand that knocked him pretty hard. Hard enough to send a powerful blast of force that rattled the target and knocked him back halfway across the room, while not thrown as far as when pawed by the giant canine hollow, the actual damage done to Daniel's armor was considerably greater and more concentrated.
"You unholy filth! What's your plans with those hollows!" Daniel cursed as he raised his weapon and fired a burst of spiritually-charged bullets at the enemy, not appearing to do all too much damage given the gap in power between the hollow-shinigami's reiatsu and that of the bullets. He prepared for whatever retaliatory measures the enemy might have tried to pull, expecting the shadow-vanishing trick again, but he wouldn't be surprised if he did something completely different.
This damn spirit was pissing Daniel off, this whole "I'm a god and you mortals should all die for my amusement so I'm gonna blow a whole bunch of shit up and it'll be fun" attitude is exactly why the Battle Operative knew that it was his lifelong duty to serve the boss and eradicate these damn things,every last one of them, if they be hollow or shinigami or even normal ghosts it matter not to him, they all had to go to protect the safety of the world.
Then suddenly, he said some sort of incantation and in an instant a giant surge of fiery of energy was launched at Marisa. He knew he would be able to withstand the attack much better than her, even if the exact nature of the attack was unknown to him at the time. It was too sudden for her to avoid it on her own so his only chance was to take the impact in her place. He bolted at her, shoving her out of the way and was envelloped by the flames instantly. His armor was able to keep him from being reduced to ashes, but the heat was still so incredibly hot that he didn't know if he would survive.The heat was so sudden, so destructive that only a horrifying scream of pain could be heard echoing throughout the warehouse. Inside his helmet, red lights and sirens were roaring telling him
WARNING WARNING WARNING! SYSTEM OVERLOAD! MAXIMUM HEAT TOLERANCE EXCEEDED! LIFE SIGNS CRITICAL! INTERNAL SYSTEMS DAMAGED! POWER OUTPUT EXCEEDS SAFE LIMITS! WARNING WARNING WARNING! BACKUP BATTERIES EXCEEDING LIMIT! UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SHIELDING! PREPARING TO SHUT DOWN!
Then the flames died down and on the ground was a collapsed and seriously wounded Daniel, most of his armor's internal systems completely fried and his outer armor nearly melted, the inner layers of protective material scorched to ashes. His entire body was suffering from at least second-degree burns and he was in serious need of medical aid, yet he still managed to stand despite his injuries and suit's condition, the pain not so noticable seeing as most of his skin's nerves were fried. His gun was also in ruins, but the spiritually-charged bullets inside were miraculously still in good condition, he would have to drain the power from his gun in order to power his armor and use every last ounce of his own energy from his own body to attempt getting away, or at least making an opening for Marisa to slip away.

Meaning an NPC plus soul could be made to say something he'd otherwise refuse to admit like the location of a sanctuary of lost souls or a dying unseated shinigami might explain how Kido works, where a fellow operative might only have a change in their mood or a shinigami captain would be totally unaffected.
Spirit Power Suit
Type: Advanced Underarmor Suit
Description: A basic, skintight suit that keeps Daniel alive with his new biomechanical implants. The suit is in fact a lighter, more skin-like version of the Spirit Stealth Suit, offering about the same level of protection as the SSS and offers him more strength and speed than he could muster without any armor before the accident, while not impeding his movement at all whatsoever, except Daniel himself isn't necessarily a nimble person to begin with so it essentially just allows him to fight using lighter weapons and incorporating more speed than he is used to instead of his old, heavy and cumbersome Spirit Combat Armor. The suit lacks a stealth shield so he is visible to normal humans, however he is able to blend into crowds relatively discreetly since he can wear clothes over the suit.

Equipment:
Custom-made firearm: A powerful handgun desisned to resemble the Israeli-made Desert Eagle, except the bullets it fires are made completely out of solidified spirit particles, instead of simply being spiritually-charged. These bullets offer incredibly high stopping power and can cause serious damage to most mid-strength shinigami just as if it were a real bullet against a regular human, but seeing as most shinigami are capable of taking much more abuse than regular humans it will naturally still require more bullets to kill. There is no actual need to manually reload, because when the magazine is emptied it automatically draws in power from the wielder to solidify new bullets within the ammo clip.
Spirit Blade: Combat knife for melee combat, can parry a zanpakuto belonging to a shinigami of similar strength for a short time, and is able to pierce into the masks of most regular hollows for fatal damage, but the short blade severely limits the effectiveness as a primary weapon, especially against spirits trained in swordsmanship as their primary tactic and monsters who can crush people with their bare hands.
Spirit Tazer Gun: In the form of a small handgun, for subduing weaker opponents with non-lethal force, or simply weakening stronger opponents to follow up with a more lethal weapon. Prone to collect dust from severe lack of use.
Spirit Scanner
Com-Unit
Spirit Radar
Type: Spirit Combat Suit MkII
Description: A highly-upgraded version of the MK2 Aquila, coming close to the peak of MK2 technology before the introduction of the Third-Generation series. Offers maximum protection and performance available by the Aquila model, which while isn't on the same scale of technological godliness as the Defaeco, still is far superior to the MK1 armor that provided insufficient protection against a high-level kido. This suit has been further upgraded to include more protection than the regular Aquila, but its built-in exoskeleton prevents a drop in mobility to the same degree that the defensive upgrades hindered his customized MK1.

Extendable Arm-Blade:
Upgraded from his old suit, this new armor dons a pair of 2 ft long retractable blades hidden in both arms as close-quarters weapons in the even that the enemy gets to close for comfort. The edges of the blades are charged with high amounts of spirit energy and can cut enemies as effectively as a sealed zanpakuto belonging to an medium-strength shinigami. These blades are stronger and more powerful than his old suit's blades, and also are longer in order to give slightly more reach.
Spirit Cannon:
A vastly improved weapon than the now destroyed Spirit Light Machine Gun used by Daniel with his MK1 armor, this handheld monster is more like the arm-mounted cannon upgrades common to some NWO agents than his usual machine gun, because it only fires pure reiatsu bullets instead of reiatsu-charged bullets, eliminating the need to a painstakingly slow reload after 300 shots fired. The Spirit Cannon has 3 firing modes: rapid, medium, and heavy. Rapid-fire shoots hundreds of small energy rounds per minute, much higher rate of fire than his old gun and with barely any recoil, but short in actual stopping power per individual shot. The medium-fire is comparable to the average arm-cannon, able to fire off a blast about as powerful as an arrancar's bala at 1-second intervals. The heavy-fire setting can charge and fire a large beam of energy comparable to a cero, but the cooldown time is very long, requiring a whole 30 seconds before being able to begin charging another shot.

Roleplay Sample:
Daniel followed his teammate through the damaged doorway after being invited by the dead hollow. Probably some sort of trap set up by some clever hollow that made up for it's lack of strength with a high intelligence and resorting to deception and trickery. Unfortunately his own assumption was quickly proven wrong when he entered the dark-lit room. Despite the lack of light, he was able to make out the form of the being using the built-in sensors within his helmet but the specific details weren't clear. When he switched back to normal sight, he was slightly startled to see what he first thought was a shinigami, then appeared to be a hollow, and then he wasn't exactly sure at all. Was it able for an evil spirit to become both shinigami and hollow? The very idea sickened the Battle Operative down to the core.
Then the mutant spirit freak spoke of how their communications were cut off in this room, not the nicest situation, but he'd be able to cope as long as he had his battle armor and machine gun to get him through the fight. The large amount of loose spirit energy being released by the person was very formidable indeed, Daniel's own high personal energy for a human combined with the highly advanced Spirit Combat Armor muffled out a considerable chunk of the pressure but the amount that still got to him was ultimately more than the Battle Operative was used to experiencing. It wasn't physical burdening, in fact it almost heightened his desire for battle and thirst for action, but still dulled his reaction time slightly as the opponent vanished after questioning the effectiveness of their equipment and reappeared behind him.
Just as Daniel was able to notice the... hollowgami, or whatever it was, the hell should Daniel know about what to call it... behind him, he began to turn and face it but only just managed to put his arm up to block the clawed hand that knocked him pretty hard. Hard enough to send a powerful blast of force that rattled the target and knocked him back halfway across the room, while not thrown as far as when pawed by the giant canine hollow, the actual damage done to Daniel's armor was considerably greater and more concentrated.
"You unholy filth! What's your plans with those hollows!" Daniel cursed as he raised his weapon and fired a burst of spiritually-charged bullets at the enemy, not appearing to do all too much damage given the gap in power between the hollow-shinigami's reiatsu and that of the bullets. He prepared for whatever retaliatory measures the enemy might have tried to pull, expecting the shadow-vanishing trick again, but he wouldn't be surprised if he did something completely different.
This damn spirit was pissing Daniel off, this whole "I'm a god and you mortals should all die for my amusement so I'm gonna blow a whole bunch of shit up and it'll be fun" attitude is exactly why the Battle Operative knew that it was his lifelong duty to serve the boss and eradicate these damn things,every last one of them, if they be hollow or shinigami or even normal ghosts it matter not to him, they all had to go to protect the safety of the world.
Then suddenly, he said some sort of incantation and in an instant a giant surge of fiery of energy was launched at Marisa. He knew he would be able to withstand the attack much better than her, even if the exact nature of the attack was unknown to him at the time. It was too sudden for her to avoid it on her own so his only chance was to take the impact in her place. He bolted at her, shoving her out of the way and was envelloped by the flames instantly. His armor was able to keep him from being reduced to ashes, but the heat was still so incredibly hot that he didn't know if he would survive.The heat was so sudden, so destructive that only a horrifying scream of pain could be heard echoing throughout the warehouse. Inside his helmet, red lights and sirens were roaring telling him
WARNING WARNING WARNING! SYSTEM OVERLOAD! MAXIMUM HEAT TOLERANCE EXCEEDED! LIFE SIGNS CRITICAL! INTERNAL SYSTEMS DAMAGED! POWER OUTPUT EXCEEDS SAFE LIMITS! WARNING WARNING WARNING! BACKUP BATTERIES EXCEEDING LIMIT! UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SHIELDING! PREPARING TO SHUT DOWN!
Then the flames died down and on the ground was a collapsed and seriously wounded Daniel, most of his armor's internal systems completely fried and his outer armor nearly melted, the inner layers of protective material scorched to ashes. His entire body was suffering from at least second-degree burns and he was in serious need of medical aid, yet he still managed to stand despite his injuries and suit's condition, the pain not so noticable seeing as most of his skin's nerves were fried. His gun was also in ruins, but the spiritually-charged bullets inside were miraculously still in good condition, he would have to drain the power from his gun in order to power his armor and use every last ounce of his own energy from his own body to attempt getting away, or at least making an opening for Marisa to slip away.
