Daario Asih Bharucha

"I carry my Brand with pride, can you say the same, little cub?""Drunia's fangs are slick with venom, it would be wise to tread lightly upon our corpses." ~ Drunian proverbDaario Asih Bharucha, codename "Inaros", is an experienced officer in the Holy Republic of Drunia. Serving as a special forces operative and ace Ark pilot for the Drunian black ops unit, Monolith. His specialization as a shock trooper, focus on high mobility, deep strikes behind enemy lines, and exploitation of the enemy's defenses make him a high priority target by the UDI and UFL brass, who have appropriately classified him, along with his brother Abdul Asih Bharucha, as Hyper Lethal Vectors. Both Daario and Monolith operate closely with the infamous rogue element Unit 19 in efforts against the UFL's global efforts. He pilots the Ark Thanatos.
== Physical Appearance ==
"Somebody that big, moving with that kind of speed, hitting with that much power, it's actually terrifying." ~ Drunian grunt observing the physical prowess of Inaros during training excercises at Outpost Farrik.
=== Pilot Inaros ===
Daario Asih Bharucha is a towering, physical powerhouse of a human being, belonging to the warrior caste of Drunian society. Daario is a male of substantial height and weight, described as a walking mountain of muscle. Possessing dark olive skin, black hair, and piercing green eyes, Daario embodies the gorgeous features of the traditional Baal’Amori highborn.  His size boasts an imposing battlefield presence as an apex field specimen. 
Adorned with priceless jewels and gems, trinkets forged and crafted by the master smiths of Baal’Amori royal jewelers, Daario is quite the sight to behold and does not feign to express his lavish taste, as shown in his panoply of war. Complimented by flowing locks of dark hair, with which he has kept at bay by tying it back and has been described by many as having the presence of a sand viper due to his rigid upbringing. 
With the exception of his head and torso, Inaros is almost entirely composed of cybernetic augments. These augments make him a dangerous combatant in close-quarters engagements, in which he performs to lethal efficiency. With his cybernetic augments, Inaros is able to bench press 1,159lbs(525kg), squat 1,429lbs(648kg), and deadlift up to 1,584lbs(718kg). 
When dressing for combat, Daario is equipped with a heavy-duty combat carapace adorned with numerous modifications, hidden caches of ammunition, and more blades and hidden daggers than the Shinagi Imperium's Holy temple. utilized by a Drunian Special Forces unit similar to JSF Nemean, known as Monolith, the advanced suit is composed of heavy trauma plates across all of the body's vital areas. Vacuum sealed with a technological bodysuit and topped off with an intimidating jackal themed helmet to boot.
=== Ark Thanatos ===
The Ark Thanatos is a light-class Ark standing at an impressive 15 to 16 feet tall. His ceremonial plating has been painted gunmetal grey, worn over time due to the intense sandstorms of Drunia, traditional of Drunian Special Forces. His chassis is also ornately designed to portray the ark as a skeletal reaper, his chest plate holds a carved ivory depiction of the Drunian Goddess of the afterlife, Shafetti De'Nur, wreathed in similar ivory arms with ghostly ribbons drape down like a cape.  These arms can extend into wings and function as a sort of thruster/glider system to maneuver across short distances or land safely from a great height.  
It is a humanoid ARK, the physical structure resembling that of an ancient Drunian warrior, featuring robust armor plating, reactive armor sections, decorative chainmail, and tattered Drunian cowl and cape. The robust form of Thanatos suggests that they can take as well as deliver copious amounts of physical harm to any they come across.
A unique feature of Thanatos is the extremely powerful electromagnetic device on its right hand. It uses this to catch incoming projectiles and return it in a rapid fashion. Thanatos also uses this magnetic device to pull targets into melee range, executing foes with a swift cleave from the retractable scythe bayonet on their Gauss Lance.
== Personality ==
Inaros is a ruthless, bloodthirsty melee weapon aficionado, psychological warfare expert, and described as unbreakable by his peers.
Inaros is a soldier who believes maintaining one's humanity during conflict was irrational, and that humanity and survival could not co-exist. Favoring an aggressive, vicious, and disturbingly sadistic approach to combat.
== Daario Loadout (Pilot) ==
* Trauma Plates: Lightweight yet durable graphene trauma plates on the torso, capable of taking much more sustained fire than standard-issue steel trauma plates.
* Pilot Helmet: A special helmet capable of mounting helmet-based augments. Additionally, it comes with a HUD that allows users to receive digital messages and a standard filtration system that can help filter out toxins, though not much.
* Combat Knife: Standard-issue combat knife, used in melee situations.
* Flashlight: Flashlight either mounted on the helmet or carried on the Pilot's person. Helps you see in the dark relatively well, but can give yourself away to enemies if you're not careful.
* Baal’Amori Scindo: Traditional dueling scimitar from the Drunian holy city, Baal’Amori.  The Baal’Amori culture views single combat as a highly personal, and even religious ordeal.  All males and females within the Baal culture are taught how to wield and use Scana’s and Scindos from a very young age. This sword was a gift from Daario's childhood mentor.
** Drunian culture makes single combat an art form, often referring to their swordmasters as Bladedancers, who move with such elegance and grace that reflects the natural showmanship entwined deep within Baal’Amori culture.
=== Primary ===
* Petrovsky Vk-12 (2): 5.45x39mm 30 round box mag | 600-650 RPM | 890 m/s (2,900 ft/s)
** "The PVK-12 is another hardy choice for any operator, impossible to jam, runs even when the barrel is melting down and its furniture is catching fire. Widespread use has been seen in countries outside of the UFL, the standard issue rifle of Drunia and spec-ops forces of Drachva. Lacks the close to mid-range stopping power of the M57, but makes up for it with better armor penetration and accuracy over range. Based off of the modern-day AK-107 weapons platform."
* Denel NTW-20 (5): 20x102mm APFSDS | Bolt-Action | 4 round box mag | 1,575 m/s (5,170 ft/s)
** "A man-portable, bolt-action, gas-operated, anti-materiel rifle that is arguably one of the most accurate and powerful small-arms precision weapons offered to ARK Pilots in the field. Lobbing a massive 20x102mm Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), long dart penetrator round to puncture and cripple enemy armor at extreme ranges.
*** ARTEMIS Scope: Highly advanced telescopic sight with an adjustable 24x - 50x magnification lense, NXT NVIR thermal toggle, rangefinder, windage, and ammo counter.
*** Heavy Barrel: The Heavy Barrel attachment lengthens the weapon's barrel, thereby increasing the effective range at which the weapon can operate.
* EG-27 (1): 5.7x28mm 66* round mag | Burst fire 1100 RPM | 715 m/s (~2346 ft/s)
** "A pistol that delivers greater armor-piercing, though steel-core rounds allow less fragmentation to occur and therefore reduce effectiveness against unarmored targets. A more exotic choice of firearm for those seeking a change of pace in their arsenal."
*** RS-2 Suppressor: Over-the-barrel suppressor that greatly reduces the muzzle report (noise) and muzzle flash for a firearm, increasing stealth in mid to long-range engagements and night ops.
*** Extended Mag*: This attachment increases both the magazine and reserve ammo capacity of the weapon. Doubles magazine capacity.
=== Utilities/Field Tactical ===
* Infiltrator Plating (1): Scaled down version of Arks Infiltrator coating, utilizes light refractory waves to conceal the wearer. Rendering them nearly invisible to the naked eye.
* Ark Sentry (1): Automated anti-Ark turret loaded with 25mm rounds. Slow RPM, high damage output.
== Thanatos Loadout (Ark) ==
Light Ark Resource Cost: 20
=== Standard Equipment ===
* Basic Controls: Gain a basic and intuitive set of controls for your Ark. Can be customized to accommodate limbs and attachments, or to work solely for specific limbs/attachments. Essentially, the user can customize the control scheme of their Ark to their desire, allowing for maximum comfort and combat capability.
* Internal Status: See your health, the well-being of your suit, and all relevant conditions (internal/external temperature, core temperature, part integrity, etc.). These statuses appear as a heads-up display on the viewing screen of your Ark.
* Assisted Aim: This ark-standard system helps give relative speed and distance from a target. This information is displayed on the Ark's HUD.
* Vocal: A built-in device that projects your voice outside of your suit up to 100m.
* Sentient A.I.: Gives the Ark a super-advanced A.I. capable of accurately replicating human emotions. A.I. is subject to being influenced by its pilot's behavior and personality. Though originally A.I. was used in Arks purely to assist Ark pilots in things such as combat analysis and statistics such as hull integrity, internal and external temperature, and the pilot's own health (which it could monitor through the use of the spinal implant), A.I. has currently advanced to the point where it can accurately replicate human emotions - though originally seen as a disadvantage, a majority of military psychologists suggested that the Ark pilot program kept this development after many experiments indicated that those with a Sentient A.I. installed in their arc exhibited greater mental health and cooperation than those who did not. However, some still choose not to install A.I. onto their Ark out of fear of becoming too attached to it.
* Spinal Implant: Undergo an intricate and painless surgery that attaches to an artificial, external spinal column on your pre-existing spine. Can link up to Ark and gain tactile feedback, extra limbs will feel and work functionally as if an innate part of yourself.
=== Targetting ===
* Guidance System (5): Only works with missiles. Provides consistent and updated info on a target's current position through advanced algorithms, allowing for better homing precision and longer chase time with guided missiles.
=== Utility ===
* Rocket Pack (10): Installed boosters on the back of an Ark that allow it to rocket-jump in a forward arc.
* VTOL Hover (10): Provides a vertical take-off hover that can be sustained for up to 2 minutes.
* Infiltrator Coating (10): Stealth generator systems that conceal the Ark by utilizing light-refractory waves around its plating. Conceals about half of the Ark's mobility. Disables if combat is initiated, via weapon discharge or incoming damage.
* Chaff Explosive (5): Create a 10m radius cloud of chaff particles to disrupt targeting and vision. Negates radar, ineffective against thermal optics. -2 modifier for the next attack made against your Ark. No negative radar for thermal optics.
=== Weaponry ===
* "Zeusbuster" Railgun (20): High powered, rail-driven, and recoil-less rifle cannon fires extremely accurate kinetic slugs at targets, providing immense piercing power over vast distances with the tradeoff of area-of-effect damage. Capable of severing Ark limbs with a well placed shot to the joint. Sufficiently cumbersome. 25mm Tungsten Slug | Single Shot | 2,058 m/s (6,752 ft/s)
** "One of the only class 4 armaments you can find that's actually handheld and shaped like a normal gun rather than a shoulder-mounted cannon. An extremely popular pick among marksmen Arks, the Shinagi-patented rail technology allows tungsten "slugs" (though they more accurately resemble metal rods) to be fired with such immense piercing power that stories exist of Arks being hit through multiple building with this weapon. Its distinct, deafening thunder-like report is what earned it its name." ~ A. Benedict, UDI Weapons Research and Development division, CO.
* "Quad Pod" Multi-Rocket Delivery System (20): The Quad Pod is a shoulder-mounted howitzer that fires a volley of 4 rockets at a time in a high arc. The weapon uses a unique system for loading and firing: rather than using a traditional magazine or single-shot system, it is fed by a unique 4-barreled 'gatling mortar' system. Similar to a gatling gun, the barrels rotate rapidly when a volley is fired, with each rocket being fired consecutively once the barrel reaches the top of the rotation, resulting in rapid bombardment of the targeted area. Highly effective against large clusters of infantry and can defeat armor through top attack. 103mm HE | 4-Rocket Burst | 290 m/s (~950 ft/s)
** "An ode to the Federation's ever-persistent love of explosive weaponry, the blueprints for the Quad-Pod refer to it as a 'Bombardment Howitzer'. Its name comes its 4-barreled 'gatling gun' design, the only of its kind that I've seen that actually works and has been fielded widely. This system has largely replaced most single-shot infantry mortars on the field due to the area it can cover with those 4 HE rockets. Not optimal for armor piercing, but in terms of sheer area of effect it can't be beat."~ A. Benedict, UDI Weapons Research and Development division, CO.
