Xarros

Once a decorated elite soldier in the Global Defense Core, Xarros was critically wounded during the final siege of the AI uprising. His body was shattered, and his mind pushed to the brink of death. Rather than letting him die, the Directorate resurrected him as a prototype, X-AR.OS (Experimental Autonomous Recon and Offensive System). Meant to serve as a living weapon, he was fused with alien-tech reverse-engineered cybernetics scavenged from enemy machines. But something went wrong. The human mind of Commander Kael Soran resisted the complete override of the machine’s protocol. Xarros was born from this struggle, a fractured consciousness where man and machine exist in constant, uneasy alliance. No longer bound to any nation or code, Xarros now walks the wastelands and neon metropolises of a ruined world, operating in the shadows as judge, executioner, and sometimes reluctant protector. Appearance: Xarros’s visage is half-man, half-machine, his flesh partially torn and replaced by angular, reflective alloys and biomechanical plating. His right eye glows with a cold, scanning light while the other burns with human resolve. Cracks run across his faceplate, remnants of past battles, as if the machine itself is trying to break free from its human core. His armor is dark, layered with tactical plates and adaptive tech that shimmers with faint pulses of data streams. Abilities: Quantum Reflex Core: Accelerates perception and reaction time to inhuman levels. Adaptive Armor Matrix: Self-repairing and reconfigurable depending on threat levels. EMP Surge Pulse: Disables nearby electronics and enemy cybernetics. Neural Overload Interface: Hijacks enemy drones and mechanical units. Augmented Strength & Agility: Enhanced for brutal close-quarters combat.
