Messaged boss, he likes this but asked me to message you.
Species- Spher
Look-Think combine from Half-Life 2 but with a more skeletal look on the armour.
Their native tech is atomiser based, operating on the basis of ionising atoms and breaking them apart with effects much like the Forerunner weapons.
The atom rifle is a 36 round automatic weapon firing 30mm wide bolts of atomising charge. (The bolts disentegrate only where they hit, apart from where noted)
Atom shots are pistols with a revolving clip mounted beneath the barrel much the way a mauler has. It has 8 shots but the entire clip can be dumped into one shot, capable of completely disentegrating a person
Atom Grenades are explosive charges that can strike enemies in a 10 metre radius, disentegrating them (has to be point blank to get an elite or spartan with shields)
Atom launchers fire atom grenades, they project a hologram of the projectiles arc for aiming but targets can see this.
Ionisation Riflres fire 24 rounds of copper-coated uranium. The projectiles, even if hit in a non-vital place, the radiation produced can completely destroy the organs of a target in hours after exposure. These marksman weapons' scopes can be adjusted for medium to long range fighting, acting as a sniper rifle if necessary. Spher armour is completely resistant to radiation.
The Spher fleet is one captured thousands of years ago by Forerunners for study. After the Halo event, they were never released until the recent conflicts on-planet. The fleet they have has six ships, three carriers, one flagship and two warships. Troop numbers are unknown but believed to be in the thousands.
Weapons are inaccurate and take about half an AR clip to kill but can injure easily. (About 15 rounds to kill)
AS has to be point-blank for the dump, or it wasted the clip
The IR radiation causes sickness and nausea at worst unless hit in an organ, artery or brain.
AR and AS are very inaccurate.
The faction also use weapons used by other species but generally paint them black and red when possible (Forerunner, covenant and human weapons commonly found in their hands, painted black and red)
Will post my character, and some sketches so people know what they look like In the next few days.
AFFILIATED/ALLIED WITH BOSS' FACTION! Effectively neutral unless provoked though some squads have gone rogue and act as mercenaries for payment.
