Ivo Roth

**Ivo Xaver Roth**, also known as **Roth** or **Wrath** was an engineer turned bounty hunter turned mercenary, currently working as a solo.

## Skills and Abilities

Although Roth's armor provides modest enhancements to the wearer's strength and mobility, this amplification is not as drastic as that afforded by cyberware. Roth's armor features photoreactive optical camo panels that mimic the surrounding textures. The armor features a full body armor with an enclosed helmet and heads-up display with a full cyberoptics suite. The undersuit is equipped with a cushioning layer of liquid nanocrystal that provides more ballistic protection than three centimeters of Kevlar diamond weave, without the bulk. The outer shell of the armor is composed of a fairly thick titanium alloy. This plating covers the chest, arms, hip, legs, calves, feet and hands. This alloy is very resilient, can take significant punishment, and is nearly impervious to small arms fire. While shots from armor piercing rounds will breach the outer shell, the suit can take a few glancing blows from them without compromising the armor. The inner skinsuit is made of a moisture-absorbing synthetic material linked to an environmental control computer and the occupant's neural interface. It controls the suit's temperature and actively changes how the suit fits the user.

Reactive circuits are installed throughout the armor and are linked to the Roth's neural interface. They amplify the wearer's reaction time by connecting directly to the thoughts of the wearer, making it much easier to control and allowing for him to be both more efficient and have a higher survival rate in combat. Bounce Back injectors are an integral part of the systems ability to keep Roth functioning in battle. Roth created slots in the suit specifically to insert Bounce Back containers. The process of injecting Bounce Back is only a temporary solution; medical attention must be sought soon after to ensure survivability. Integrated thrusters on the back and boots of the suit, along with his wrist-mounted grappling wire, allow Roth to climb to various vantage points for sniping. Other wrist implements include an integrated automatic smart gun, projectile launcher system and Kendachi Dragon flamethrower.

The helmet is one of the most vital aspects of Roth's armor system. It is made of titanium and features a heads-up display, that links to the brain and hands, and can identify equipment and display information about it when it is picked up by the wearer like a ballistic coprocessor. An environmental control unit that includes filters to remove toxins from the atmosphere, and a rebreather to automatically supply oxygen to the wearer, along with three doses of MaxDoc inhalant. In addition the helmet is packed with a full optics suite including thermal and motion sensors, communications, solar-powered lighting, and imaging and video gear. The helmet also had an integrated smart link system that is connected to his smart wrist gun and can connect to any smart weapons he picks up. The most important feature though, is the direct neural interface system which connects to Roth's neural implants.

The armor's gauntlet features a data port to which electronic devices and chipware can be connected. The magnetic strips on the armor are very small yet powerful magnets placed on the legs, waist, and back of the suit and is used to hold any equipment with a magnetic property. The suit also contains an electromagnetic system on the boots of the suit that allow its wearer to stay attached to a metal surface in zero and can be toggled on or off by the wearer. Various grenades and utility pouches are attached along with ballistic belt-capes were also added for additional protection. The armor is powered by a low-profile, shielded BA-55901/PLMD battery cell. Several improvements were made to the armor including experimental refits to the ballistic gel layers, upgraded software suites, the armor being hermetically sealed and an internal oxygen supply for seven minutes.

Roth has an aversion to heavy body modification and only opted for minimal neural interface implants. Even his chipware is based in his armor and interfaced via his neural implant. He has a skill for design and engineering, creating a power armor that could keep up with modern cyborgs. Roth, with the help of Valya, also developed H4-CHi's custom robot body. He personally modifies and customizes all his owned firearms, optimizing and fine-tuning them to his liking and puts a lot of significance on combat using any and all firearms at his disposal. He is also skilled in tracking, marksmanship and under Azu's "tutelage", close-quarters combat, becoming somewhat proficient in bladed melee weaponry. He provides support, assistance, and cover for his team that always comes in handy for a multitude of bad situations.
