Combat Suit

"*Abbas may not look like it, but when it comes to inventing, he is nearly my equal. That over there is a joint project of ours. You should count yourselves lucky if you never learn what it is capable of.*"
―HaqqThe combat suit was a device created by Abbas Saqqaf and Haqq Najir.

## Construction

Physically, the armor is made of metal with a variety of mechanical and electronic components. Many parts of it would be to fragile to use in combat were the suit made of purely natural materials.

### Augmentations

Every component of the suit is made from regenerating material. This means that in about one minute any part of it can regrow from scratch if destroyed or detached. It is also permanently soul-empowered, allowing it to survive much more powerful attacks than it could otherwise.

## Features

The suit has a number of very useful features.

### Neural interface

The suit can coordinate with an on board computer drilled between the user's cerebral cortex and thalamus.

### Ocular Replacements

The suit has lenses that can allow the user to see far way distances in great details.

### Jets

The suit has six jets on his back, calves, and upper arms powered by a fusion propulsion system. Their thrust-to-weight ratio is unmatched. They allow a person to fly beyond the speed of sound. Their most impressive ability however is their ability to produce anti-matter. However the jets cannot handle the force of creating them and will break down. They regenerate but the process is slowed down by the anti-particles.

### Cruise Missile

The chest piece of the suit can reform in to a cruise missile.

### Sensor arrays

The sensors can give many different kinds of information such as how to avoid damage and keep track of the suit's condition.

### Drones

The suit has two shoulder mounted drones that carry sub machine guns inside. They are very fast but cannot break the speed of sound unless traveling behind the user's slipstream. While they carry guns, the drones' main purpose is to act as suicide bombers, and when they are destroyed the suit regenerates them over the course of about 45 seconds.

### Automated impact mitigation system

The suit can automatically detect incoming threats such as impactors or explosions, calculate the path that will minimize damage, and guide the user's movements accordingly. It can also help counteract the force of lesser impacts in order to keep a straight course.

### Ro'Hada

The Ro'Hada ("Dark God's Death") is an extremely powerful fusion cannon based on the same technology as the jets, mounted on the suit's arm. Abbas and Haqq invented and installed the Ro'Hada after Abbas's first combat victory. It's the most powerful weapon on the entire suit, but the first version at least is a weapon of last resort; each time it fires, there's a 1-in-75 chance of a catastrophic failure resulting in Abbas's death, and a 1-in-billions chance of catastrophic failure resulting in a multi-kiloton explosion.

### Micro-missiles

Each of the suit's forearms contains a dozen tiny missile launchers. The missiles are heat-seeking, fast-cornering and have a range of 400 meters, and their warheads are not only powerful but also leave large smokescreens. They are the suit's best crowd-control weapon. The missiles can also be deployed as remote sensor platforms.

### Invisibility countermeasures

The suit mounts a loud and powerful sonar unit and a multi-beam laser weapon, designed specifically to find and attack Invisibility bone users. The Invisibility shadow can't fool sound, and it must absorb all light that lands on it in order to avoid interference with its illusion, meaning that laser weapons deposit their energy on Invisible targets with perfect efficiency.

## History

Abbas's plans for the suit are much grander than simply empowering himself. He hopes to use the suit as a prototype for a mass-produced armor system that can make normal humans a match for servants, radically tilting the global balance of power. However, the current model is far too expensive to mass-produce, and requires invasive neural surgery to use.

The suit has been used twice, both times by Abbas. The first time was when he came to Dunehall to fight against Ivan. He was able to win due to Ivan's lack of familiarity with the workings of the suit, which rendered him unable to defend against its antimatter capabilities effectively. Abbas landed a dazing strike with a rocket, and then removed Ivan's head and stripped the muscle from it, rendering Ivan unable to use his power. He then froze it with the help of Hector by venting one of the suit's cooling systems, which he decided he could spare due to Ivan draining the device's energy reserves such that it couldn't fly anyway.

Later on, Abbas used the suit to defend his Hahl during the evacuation of the Drylands. Early on, he encountered two Roberts. He fought them off, but they succeeded in infesting the suit with nanomachines, badly degrading the suit's performance and leaving him vulnerable to a squadron of pursuing servants led by Bloodeye. He was able to decontaminate the suit after reaching safety at Warrenhold, and confidently expects to kill Bloodeye if he ever encounters him at full power. Abbas had upgraded the suit before the invasion of Sair, and estimates that even with the nano-infection it was still more powerful than it had been when he fought Ivan.

Once at Warrenhold, Abbas was given access to the Fusion Forge Cocora's Candle, and had the opportunity to analyze several relevant artifacts, notably the Shifting Spear of Logante. With such revolutionary crafting capabilities at his disposal, he has planned a complete retooling of the suit that he expects will make it much more powerful and resilient. At present, however, he doesn't dare actually start the work, since he is Atreya's strongest defensive fighter and fears that an Abolish invasion will catch him with the suit offline.
