Espera Nota, the corrupted one

player ID: christen MX
character name: Espera Nota
race: 75% of his DNA is metroid, 10% is based on phazon, three percent is based on the T-virus (and it's phazon mutated form) and only 12% is still human (form is based on specific portions of DNA, not the majority, hence why he is still humanoid).
body shape: humanoid
age:32 years, five months, six days, three hours, four minutes, twelve seconds, and twenty three nanoseconds.
gender:male (born male, has no genitalia anymore due to mutation into a very humanoid metroid prime)
height:6 feet 7 inches
weight:220 pounds without armor, 248 with (nanobots are very lightweight for their versatility).
known languages: galactic standard, metroid
appearance: not extremely muscular, brown somewhat messy hair, greenish-brown eyes, and an extremely light green tinge to his otherwise (very) light tan skin, wears a black zero suit with red symbols similar to those on Samus' zero suit (he is her apprentice after all) with a flame on the side opposite the symbol on his chest.(old appearance), has a completely blue body, a head that while human sized and mostly human shaped, has the same face (exactly the same face) as metroid prime, is muscular in a light way, more toned than bulky, and in times of extreme anger or will, has a mouth that is amazingly scary and almost demonic, his insides (which aside from the stomach are visible) are all stars and galaxies (imagine what Dark Samus looked like on the inside).
Faction/Organization: bounty hunter apprenticed to Samus Aran, rarely meets with her anymore.
alignment: chaotic good
Based off of what show/game/etc: Metroid and Resident Evil.
personality: somewhat obsessive compulsive, usually happy, easily depressed however, and tries to stay away from others when angry.
strengths: he can siphon bio-energy from victims to replenish and heal himself, with a degree of control so good as to be able to leave someone alive and mostly well afterwards, he can levitate as most all metroids can, he is quite good with ranged weapons, and while not the best, still good in hand to hand combat, and the phazon his body produces freely can be pulled out of his body at will to become weaponry. also, the T-virus, while under control while inside his body, is constantly trying to escape to infect others. anytime he is not in his suit, which kills all P(phazon)T-Virus "samples" that escape his body, when outside his suit, which is not often, the PT-Virus is able to escape freely, this is both a weakness and a strong weapon, as it travels straight in the direction of no armoring when only one part of his body is uncovered, so until it starts spreading, it will only infect those in it's path. He uses this to his advantage when the need arises, but not otherwise, for fear of killing his friends and allies. also, the T-virus enhances his strength, speed, durability, and telepathic abilities, which are his only mode of accurately communicating, making him more powerful than when not infected, including allowing him to make ultra-sonic sounds that can make weak zombie's heads explode (made and used for fun, not fight. this can be removed (the telepathic ultra-sonic thing).)
weaknesses: extreme cold, his inability to control himself around X parasites, and his haunting past. also, the T-virus, while under control while inside his body, is constantly trying to escape to infect others. anytime he is not in his suit, which kills all P(phazon)T-Virus "samples" that escape his body, when outside his suit, which is not often, the PT-Virus is able to escape freely, this is both a weakness and a strong weapon, as it travels straight in the direction of no armoring when only one part of his body is uncovered, so until it starts spreading, it will only infect those in it's path. He uses this to his advantage when the need arises, but not otherwise, for fear of killing his friends and allies.
likes: Samus Aran, X parasites (as a food source), metroids, the luminoth, the chozo, (those last two because they helped Samus at certain points), and his home planet (earth).
dislikes: the cold, rude people, and people who attack him, Samus, or any of his other friends.
equipment: his zero suit variant, his main suit, his laser pistols which can combine into a rifle or large-ish cannon for powerful but slow to recharge shots, an automatic-fire rifle formed from one of the metroids he made (they can transform if they have not reached their alpha state, and this one decided to stay a rifle) which fires shots that drain bio energy at half the rate a metroid does from whatever is hit, and a grappling mechanism usable in and out of suit. (post "Darkened world" RP):
slipstream pistols: follows the same basic principle as the slipstream weapon/s used by Ryo Kilepura, but in pistol form.
blast rifle: fires highly explosive shots damaging things for damage equal to two missiles in a ten meter radius.
high missile launcher: a rifle with a much larger than normal barrel, has three "extensions" on the very end of the barrel, these produce targeting lasers. the rifle takes time to charge but once charged it fires a large-ish missile shaped energy shot that violently explodes on contact. deals damage equal to two super missiles.
hand cannon: a slightly boxy, cannon that has three things in the center that produce the shots, has a rifle like back. has two modes. mode 1: laser mode, fires a powerful shot (three charged power beam shots) that lasts for 30 seconds, able to be moved once firing starts. mode two: acid mode, simple. this mode turns things hit by the shot into a somewhat powerful acid that deactivates once the thing that was hit by the shot is completely consumed. if this happens to be something connected to a lot of stuff, it can be manually deactivated from a control-y thing on the gun. he is given two of these and the slipstream pistols.
the hand cannons can also fuse, like the main pistols of this character, they form a large cannon, reminiscent of a tank cannon if it could be held by a human. (it's much lighter) fires a powerful laser shot highly reminiscent of the "Zero laser", after firing though it cannot be used again for ten posts by the user.
stupid beam gun:turns any enemy hit by a shot from this weapon into a gibbering idiot for two posts.
finally, he was also given the "black hole rifle" it, despite the name, does not create an actual black hole, but is just a rifle that fires a shot that is like the beam combo usable by the others that combines the dark and sunbursts, but it uses no ammo and therefore must charge for one post before use and cool down for four posts of the users posts.
character history (original): was born on earth, 8 years into life he met Samus Aran, who after wheedling and begging agreed to take him on as her apprentice, teaching him once a month when situations allowed for it. Eventually he started bio experiments when not being taught by Samus, and was able to replicate/re-create the metroid species, even going so far as to make metroids born at certain points in their life cycle. When he was eleven, he got attacked by a mysterious invisible creature, and, being unable to protect himself, got somewhat badly hurt. After this incident he infused himself with metroid DNA (a lot of it), and became much more able to defend himself, going so far as being able to levitate almost as well as any real metroid could. by the time he was eleven and a half, he had nearly perfected his long range fighting (with his twin laser pistols). But disaster struck before his twelfth birthday earth was attacked by a race of beings alien in nature. These things would usually not attack groups that had more then 20 members, but sometimes they were bolder. it took nearly eleven years, and many losses to fight them off (in fact during the far end of the war is when he received his suit) his parents died during the war, and after it was over Samus agreed to take him with her, to the place he is now. He became a bounty hunter, working alongside his teacher, learning, fighting, he still is in fact.
character history (continued): after some years spent under Samus Aran, he began to take missions of his own and make a name for himself, one of the most famous was a group mission on an orbital space station filled with weapons of all kinds, thousands of bio-weapons were in that place, but with a good bit of help from the rest of the group, later to become his friends and companions, they were able to destroy the station once and for all. years later a strange man showed up while he was enjoying peace and quiet on his home planet, Earth, claiming to be a "Distant relative" of his. he got to know this man over a few weeks, but after exactly three weeks had passed the man just disappeared. a few minutes later, Espera had disappeared himself, getting dragged through what could only be described as a wormhole, and ending up in a quite different place than he had been. the strange man was there too walking alongside a young lady, which in an of itself is not odd, but the two of them were walking side by side on top of the water of an ocean next to a giant yacht the size of ten football fields. Espera's mouth dropped then, and never did so again, he prides himself on his ability to not be surprised by the oddest of things anymore. a few months after that he found a job with a corporation named "Umbrella", working on a virus made at first to heal a little girl of her genetic problem that prevented walking without help, and later the absolute need for a wheelchair if it was allowed to go to far, but that had been partially stopped for a time. the virus was name the "T-Virus", and during one incident while Espera was working on making it better for the corporation and others, he himself was infected with it. the virus at the time was not as powerful as it would be later in it's life/reputation, so he did not die immediately, but it was more powerful than when transferred through a bite from an infected person, so it would have killed him in mere minutes, so his suit activated, using it's life support system to keep him alive. That would not hold forever though, so he had to activate a failsafe installed inside of his suit. at one point his body had produced phazon freely, doing so with special organs that had grown from physical corruption, but before joining with Umbrella he had had his suit remove all of that and disguise his non-human DNA. the failsafe reinstalled the dormant phazon into his body, bringing it, and him, back to full power. the phazon subdued the virus and fused it with his body almost perfectly, but with a powerful mutagen like phazon being in the same enclosed space as the highly dangerous T-Virus, well, the outcome was predictable. the T-virus mutated and fused with the phazon inside his body, which mutated him over a very short period at first, but then began to slow. he has been living with the PT-Virus for years, trapped inside his suit almost.


suit name: metroid prime nano creation suit (abbreviated MPNCS) (first suit)/ viraly (through means of a virus) enhanced phazon powered nanotech suit, nicknamed "Dark Knight" for it's knightly appearance, due to being based off of nanobots connected to Espera through having some of his DNA, when Espera's virus goes into a more powerful form, AKA evolves/mutates, or starts acting up from him getting too extremely emotional, his suit will change with him. in the former case, the suit changes second, after the "mutation" of Espera is complete, in the latter case, it mutates with him, becoming more demonic in form, and enhancing his strength and speed by a bit (think of it as a rage fueled hyper-mode).
suit type: phazon+metroid corrupted primarily nanotech suit/ phazon+T-virus+metroid corrupted nanotech based suit.
weaponry: twin rapid fire cannons that fire explosive shots, an energy siphon system built to make use of his metroid ability to siphon bio-energy from his victims used through curved metal "teeth" on the hands, twin laser pistols holstered at the hips, his metroid rifle, and 10 missile launchers with rapidly regenerating missiles in each shoulder spike,which can be hidden by the spikes closing. also, his guns, a remake of the speed booster, only more powerful in it's own way. it allows for instant activation and use mid-air. it loses the shinespark however.
the plasma bombs, which are just doubly powerful bombs,the crystal shot which is an upgrade to the charge shot, allowing the solid state of plasma to be reached if enough time is put in, this makes the shots stronger
an experimental type of boot, one that allows for a combination of the shinespark/speedbooster and the screw attack, and a remade screw attack, one that can be charged, if the user so pleases, but it needs a charging upgrade to work like that, eight phazon tentacles growing out of the back which can be retracted for periods of two days, but no more than without pain, these tentacles are completely prehensile, and rapidly regenerate from damage by using phazon made by his body/suit, and finally (for now, will change when he get's something new), his helmet, which holds an extremely advanced targeting system, scanners that activate automatically when he targets something and stores the data right in his log book, X-ray visor technology, and a bio-energy visor that allows for using his metroidic ability to see bio-energy, has a movement system installed that allows the helmet to open from the front and the six pieces go onto the side of his head to allow the virus to escape his body and infect others.
shielding: hazard, varia, gravity, viral (A phazon T-Virus powered shielding system that blocks out twelve percent of all damage taken), and basic.

alternate form (primary): Full salvo
description: his suit transforms into a mass of launchers for explosive weaponry, locking him in place until all weapons have been launched at least once, then he regains control and can fire at will, and return to regular form at will.
abilities/weapons: rapidly fires explosive weaponry until all weapons have been fired at least once, spreading destruction over a large area.

alternate form (secondary): "cannon ball"
description: a ball covered in launchers for regular energy missiles, has 8 tentacles that allow for wall climbing.

Abilities/Techniques:
Phazon bursts: short, quick bursts of phazon energy, as powerful as a single power beam shot.
Crystal charge: a quickened version of the crystal beam, used in tandem with the phazon bursts to charge up
blasts of phazon that explode into crystallized phazon formations on contact.
Einhammer: a quickly charged powerful missile like shot made by concentrating energy based missiles energy on one single spot which is then covered in crystal phazon to make a powerful missile (moving explosive) that explodes in a birdshot like pattern after traveling for seven hundred and fifty feet, or on contact.
Zweihammer: works the same as einhammer, but fires one from each hand instead of only one.

Weapons: Phazon Katana, Ragnarok.
Weapon Abilities: Phazon Katana: when slashed it can send out waves of phazon that disappear after traveling fifteen feet. Ragnarok: combines with other weapons and enhances them by changing them immensely, adding jagged edges or extra blades (that sort of thing).

ship: the M.S.M.A.C.C.S Elysium
ship type: Olympus like ship with star fleet carrier attachment
weapon systems:none, shield focuses energy attacks and fires them forward after enough energy from attacks has been built up however.
attachments: immense ship carrier attached to the back. 72 docks for ships the size of the Olympus, 42 for ships twice the size of Samus', and 39 for ships around the size of Samus'.
registered to the name of: Espera Nota

M.S.M.A.C.C.S stands for Metroid run Ship and Metroid Armada Carrier Class Ship

Well first off, from strengths to suit stuff... tl;dr... Secondly for the einhammer name... Ein is hebrew for null or nothing. Why have the name of something like that pretty much be named nothinghammer or nullhammer? I can see for zweihammer it fits, cause zwei is German for two.

actually both ein and zwei are German, they are one and two respectively. and believe me, I know this. I know someone who studied German as a major (I think on the secondary part, he did study it heavily though) who I lived with for a good five and some odd years, and after that Google translate also verified this. ein is not Hebrew, at least not only Hebrew, and has a different meaning in German. look it up if you don't believe me, use Wikipedia, or just plain Google. it's the truth I speak. also, what does tl;dr mean? I'm sorry but I only speak actual English, not internet speak, so I don't know stuff like that. on a related, but not technically needed, note: the ein and zwei hammers are somewhat based off of anime in their actions, due to the fact that he gained them, and his dark knight suit, in an anime. the anime is Eureka 7 (pronounced air-ooh-echa (like mecha but without the M) seven), and it's kinda cool, but that really is more off topic than I can continue with so, yeah. this bit about anime is an edit, as is the bit before it asking what tl;dr meant. and the part after that directly.

Okay, so ein does mean 1 in German by looking at google translate. I had google searched ein first and that is what I had come up with before. And tl;dr is short for too long didn't read.

ouch. sorry for not responding sooner, I checked after that last night, but the site didn't show any new posts until I checked just now.the suit stuff says, in a more basic form, that Espera's T-Virus mutates every now and then and then begins changing Espera himself, and after finishing on Espera, his suit begins to quickly mutate, and that if the virus becomes agitated, which happens when Espera becomes too negatively stressed, he and the suit will mutate together quickly, giving him a rage fueled hyper mode, sort of, that lasts for a few minutes or until the cause of his rage is destroyed. this demonic, in form, hyper mode slightly enhances his strength and speed. the mutations to him and his suit will be made as registration modifications on the original registration for him. it also says what visors his helmet has and the system that allows the front of his helmet to split into six evenly spaced pieces that then move to the side of his helmet to allow for the virus to escape his body and infect others. he tends to eat the infected, just a little thing to know, and his body neutralizes the virus afterwards. the virus only flows forwards for the first few seconds after release, but after that it begins moving much more...regularly(?), so he only does this when there is an enemy to be infected within a few feet of him. I apologize if this is too text heavy, I was not trying for that.
I made this small edit at 3:44 pm

So the virus he spreads continues on after a few feet or just stops?

it continues on, but it spreads instead of just staying on a single path, that's why he uses it so little. strengths and weaknesses both have that little ability mentioned and the downside to it, and they explain that he uses it very little so as not to hurt allies and friends. that explanation is what takes up most of the space that made strengths too long. other than that and the simple speed, strength, and telepathy enhancements at the end of strengths. the telepathy thing is because he has no mouth so developed telepathy pretty quickly, the virus enhances that by making it into a weapon against the undead, AKA zombies.
edit: the reason it took so long to respond is I woke up at eight two days ago (from this post) and would not have been able to get to sleep so soon after, so I had to stay up through the night and into the next day further than ever before. I went to sleep at seven and some minutes of change. twenty three hours of wakefulness is not fun.

How far would the virus spread then? Would it ever stop spreading and end at a certain point, or just continue on? If it's the ladder, then that must be remedied.

if it was allowed to continue on without a host or Espera gobbling it back up (which would literally never happen, because if the host dodge or something, Espera would suck the virus back in like a vacuum cleaner) it would continue on, but another reason for it being unable to is that Espera always makes sure to get too close for his opponent to dodge the virus, and any outlying, he sucks back in. so while in theoretically it could continue on until it found a host, or multiple hosts, but that would not happen unless Espera got killed before he could suck it up, and that is highly unlikely. however, if that happens, how about this: as a safety mechanism for all life on the planet, or galaxy if space travelers are on the planet, his suit detonates a "Virus be-gone" bomb that wipes out the PT-Virus, that sound good?
edit: sorry for being so late on replying, I was kind of pretty much gone for a few days, not really cool for me at most times, but I spent some time with family, so it was okay.

I would say that it can only remain airborne for a set time before the virus dies. That way it can't spread throughout a planet searching for a host or hosts.

how about an hour? that seems like it would be within reason for both a character "weapon" and an enhanced T-Virus mutated by phazon. heavily mutated by phazon, otherwise it would be lower. I don't quite know how long the original virus remained airborne, but I'm fairly certain it was at least fifteen minutes.
((edit, I'll be back in a few hours to check on everything, then if nothing turns up, a few hours after that. I'll be gone over most of the weekend, and school starts monday, so I'll be on even less often. just giving the needed information.))
((edit: I made my check at 3:25 PM, nothing new. I'll be checking in another few hours, I don't know how many on an exact number))

How about 30 minutes? So how fast does this virus spread?

very slowly on it's own, it would need help to move quickly. like an air conditioning system for instance. slowly is about a foot every thirty seconds. that's why it would need to be able to be out for a while, but a half hour is fine, that's still...shit, that's only sixty feet. *sigh* I can't think of a logical speed.
edit: would a foot every thirty seconds be okay?

That'd be 120ft then. Well, considering you said he'd always suck it back up unless he were to die, I think that's fine then. That was my main concern. Now I don't remember the size of the Olympus, but how big is that? Your ship could hold 72 ships that size?

I don't know the exact size, I just know it was big. the attachment docking port and lab is what holds the ships though, not the ship itself. I honestly don't see why you are mentioning this only now, it's not been changed since his metroid uni registration. but yeah, what it says is the way the fleet/armada carrier attachment can carry. it was made with war in mind, you know, given the nigh constant state of war the metroid universe is in and all. I would say that the Olympus is less than a mile in size though...from nothing more than seeing the outside and parts of the inside of course. I can't really say the full size when it was never said in the first place after all.

Well I don't remember it from MU. But it's basically a dreadnought carrier?

dreadnought? what's that? I changed things up a bit to reflect the ideas I could not use in MU, mainly the one I had after watching resident evil four the second time. I added things in a manner that should have made it somewhat obvious he had been from MU originally. I guess I didn't do too good at that did I? but yeah, he's the first character I submitted in the past two years, I was just toying around with ideas and he got born. this may spark your memory:
LinkAran101:
I am not a mod but this looks prety good, now I won't be the only person here who has a metroid character
in consideration. The one thing i can think of is the same thing I was told, that in order to be humanoid he
would have to be more human, but I got around it by being 50% humanoid.

RildokxNanoFate says:
Also, LinkAran is right, to be humanoid in shape the character has to have at least 50% blood of a humanoid
race, even then it's not perfect.

and then when he finally got approved you put him in as a fed on accident. he was one of the main characters in my first story too, mostly because him and Chris were at the time my only two non-claim characters.

Dreadnought is the size of the ship. Look at this image here and see if you can tell which of the ships are the dreadnoughts.

it's a site I'm not allowed to go to, so it won't be happening. sorry, but I get the basic idea, dreadnaught means a big honkin' ship, possibly with an ass ton of weapons. if that is what you're talking about, then yeah, basically.
edit: it has no weapons of it's own to compensate for it's size and the cargo it rarely carries.

Well I'd say a dreadnought would have to have it's own weapons on it, for defense at least. I mostly think of EVE Online when I think dreadnoughts, and each one of them has like a mega weapon on it to just decimate stuff.

well his ship only carries huge ships, it is weaponless to make up for it's shear size. like it says though, it has a powerful shield that redirects non explosive energy weapons forward in a huge laser once enough energy has been built up from attacks. I'm going to add the qualifier after I finish this post.
edit: this is a reposting of the post you see above, I am reposting so that it's easier to notice.

Ok, so now what does the name mean, Metroid run Ship and Metroid Armada Carrier Class Ship. Is it powered by metroids or something?

the crew is compiled entirely out of metroids, that is the metroid run part, it also carries a small army, literally a small one, that is comprised of mostly zeta and omega level metroids that have been genetically modified to be stronger, more humanoid, and in the zeta metroid's case, a little bigger. the ships are carried in the docking bay attachment thing. that is the ship and metroid part. it carries what I imagine an armada of ships might contain number wise per size. that's the carrier class part. make any more sense now? I tried to explain well.

How exactly do metroids run a ship? I believe they are not sentient enough to run a ship...

they are genetically engineered, if the engineer is smart enough, they can be made to be able to do just about anything a human can. Espera made ones just as smart and sentient as any human, especially given their little ability during the larval/adult stage. that would be mentioned at the beginning of equipment, metroid rifle specifically.
edit: I don't understand why you are questioning so much more about this part than last time, if you want proof that you already approved a less developed version of this character- named Espera Nota, Samus' apprentice- then I can give you a link to the thread. I'm sorry, but you're confusing me greatly on this matter, and you never did say if the stuff I copied jogged your memory.
