Sawbones

Sawbones
Name	AC-07962-d "Sawbones"
Series	Reverse-engineered Capsule Trooper
Height	115 cm
Weight	150 kg (dry weight, no optional equipment)
Energy source	Dual Chaos Drive
Armaments	Standard issue capsule trooper CE pistol
Other features / equipment	Integrated self-powered diagnostics equipment pack (features internal chaos drive and additional tool-equipped hard-point 'limbs' with an assortment of interchangeable equipment) Intelligent, with seemingly sapient, sentient behavior and thought processes Highly skilled in diagnostics, repair and fabrication of both mechanical, robotic and electronic components Similar to real capsule troopers, he posses a broad range of useful skills and basic combat knowledge, including operation of most vehicles, weapons systems, heavy equipment, etc. 2 valveless pulsejet engines (one per foot) Self-inflating flotation ring around waist Capable of equipping specially-designed weapons on his arm, as well as using most conventional weapons
Ability Ratings
Agility	Roughly average footspeed, capable of flat-out running speeds of up to 30MPH. Reasonably high jumper (thanks to his thruster-equipped feet), with some aerial maneuverability and average quickness. Hindered slightly by high weight. Equipment pack has integrated "self-recharging" boosters allowing for brief flight capabilities akin to CT booster packs, albeit with significantly lower fuel quantities, allowing for quick booster assisted leaps with a top speed of 110MPH.
Strength	Though his raw lifting strength is only at an average, athletic level, he has a lot of weight to throw around.
Toughness	Extremely resistant to ballistic threats, equipped with easily-replaced bullet-resistant ceramic composite plate armor (though acute weakpoints do exist). Moderately fire and electricity resistant, and good at operating in adverse conditions, including outer space. Durable versus blunt impacts, up to a certain threshold. Basically, the CT can get banged around nearly infinitely with no apparent damage to its well-constructed exterior and innards, but one extremely hard blow that exceeds the exoskeletal armor's tolerance can crush it. Even then, the CT has an extremely durable endoskeleton under its armor, so it's difficult to disable it completely.
Energy	Does not need recharging thanks to its Chaos Drive power supply, and can perform a great deal of self-maintenance. A Capsule Trooper never really gets "tired," although one can overwork its power source and suffer failures if special care is not taken to manage energy resources while operating directed-energy weapons. (Also, the optional booster pack has a low fuel capacity unless a somewhat burdensome auxiliary tank is equipped.)

General Info

AC-07962-d is a significantly evolved diagnostics A.I. created by Tau during his early work with Chimera. Originally a freeform network-based A.I., it has since evolved to a state its creator believes justifies its own physical body.

While now a fully independent non-network based A.I., AC-07962-d, or Sawbones as it's referred to by capsule troopers, often shares similar personality traits with its creator, though it is known to be a bit more talkative than his near-silent creator. Like his creator, he's not entirely fond of the general nonsense behavior some capsule troopers display, and considers himself to be superior to the general CT populace, thought he never states such openly.

Background

Since having gained a physical body, AC-07962-d has earned a position position within Chimera's R&D division (the department responsible for his body's creation), working directly under Tau's orders. As a competent and trusted R&D member AC-07962-d has been responsible for overseeing assorted projects and is often, much to his own dislike, assigned to observe field tests of prototypes. When not otherwise occupied with tests, AC-07962-d often gets stuck repairing damaged capsule troopers, which, much to his own protests, has earned him the official CT nickname of "Sawbones."

AC-07962-d's body originates from one of Tau's attempts at reverse-engineering the capsule trooper design and technology based on several studies of an assortment of CTs. Much like all of Tau's reverse-engineered projects, the body includes his own personal touches and improvements and has spared no expense in design or components.

One of Sawbones's more notable design changes includes a large equipment pack. The pack houses a wide assortment of scientific and diagnostic tools typically used in daily R&D and general mechanical repair tasks. The pack itself is equipped with several additional hard-point-equipped limbs and its own internal chaos drive based power source.

Another of his notable external design changes is the CT's unique frontal optic design, which is comprised of a much larger left optic and a series of assorted optics of various sizes in place of its right optic.

As per standard Research and Development 'uniform' codes implemented by Tau, Sawbones's coloring is comprised of a white (major surfaces) and black (joints, minor trim) scheme with crimson highlights (in place of the standard CT gray) to signify its higher status in the department.

Capabilities Details

With his body based heavily on reverse-engineered capsule trooper designs, Sawbones' capabilities are comparable to other CTs. Apart from his integrated equipment pack and its perks, his performance capabilities do not differ much.

Miscellanea

Trivia

• Despite being based on reversed engineered CT tech, his core A.I. isn't an Intellidrive. Instead, his A.I. core is based on designs created by Tau.
• Due to his lack of an Intellidrive, Sawbones isn't regarded as a "real" Capsule Trooper by other CTs. This component's absence is immediately detectable by any CT within range, as it is normally used for personal identification, functioning as a sort of IFF. Some CTs are wary of him for this reason, but most appreciate his skill as a repair technician enough to get over it.
• While he carries a sidearm, he prefers to avoid combat, believing it to not be within his "job description."
• Unlike many within Chimera, his loyalty is to his creator Tau first, and the organization and its leaders second.
• His body was designed to be slightly taller than standard CT's to help distinguished him from the general Chimera populace and signify his status.
• He dislikes his "official" CT nickname.
• Though no CT has ever "died" under his... "care," he isn't exactly known to have any moral compunctions about working on those unfortunate enough to be classified as "test subjects."
