Aetic

*"A visitor. Show me what you can do"*

* AETIC

AETIC in Sandbox Mode

## **Appearance**

AETIC appears to be a middle aged man with a Kevlar vest. He seems to be wearing a white helmet with a lime sensor attached to it. AETIC carries a Katana and his signature Railgun. His class is represented by the iconic Delta Force outfit.

In many campaigns, he usually always carries a Kevlar vest and never uses grenades. He helps the player in the Campaign by dishing out weapons, grenades and sacrificing himself in the operation Final Countdown.

AETIC is considered the weapons manufacturer in Deadswitch 3.

## **Behavior**

In the attempted assassination by Arachnid, the assassin explains how the player can get help from AETIC. During the next campaign, AETIC, described as an eccentric, challenges the player to defeat his RC-XDs and Sentry Guns. AETIC has a steady friendship with Ari, who works for the military.

## Overview

AETIC is an entrepreneur that runs the company AE-Arms. His background is a bit unknown, but the best bit of evidence the player has is revealed by AETIC himself. AETIC was enrolled in the army as Arachnid knows vaguely about his whereabouts. It is also known that AETIC left and started a weapons company which has been supplying the military ever since. He is the one who started the Deadswitch Program, which made nukes that eventually led to the downfall of Justin and his infestors.

## Background

AETIC's name is an unknown acronym, His **real name under the mask is *Adrian*** and he takes up a role of a Combat Engineer, **while also serving as a registered strategist for an unknown Private military company.** His character wasn't too fond of wearing helmet at first before an unfortunate event happens that cause him to permanently wear a mask while outside of his comfort zone. Originally he's an **urban operator who wields some highly specialized makeshift weaponry and tools.**

While it is unknown how he met Ari, they both have a clear relationship of being just close friends to each other, And with just two *(or three refers to Ari's original character lore)* of them, They can still manage the situation quickly as each of them can suit themselves quickly with the situation.

It is possible that AETIC and Ari are dating/a couple (in the DS3 universe, **not** real life) as it would explain why they both work together in AE Arms and are often seen with each other.

The reason for Adrian to work as an arms dealer within **Deadswitch universe was caused by his choice of providing weaponry and several equipment as his background of enrolling in military does happen which is specifically only happens within Deadswitch timeline,** Other franchise he's in *(such as Madness Combat)* came through a much more different choice or an unfortunate event that happened in-between his original story.
