Adriana-03

Created - 2540

Service - 20 years (Ongoing)

Engineer - Ryan Bernhart

Adriana is the stern commander of the defenders. She strategizes with the human generals and commanders before relaying the plan to the defenders that will be deploying. She has been in service for twenty years and has been the defender commander for eight. While she is very mission oriented, she puts the well-being of humans and her fellow defenders first. While the engineers don’t have ranks, Adriana’s engineer Ryan is the go to guy if any of the other engineers run into problems.

Each Defender has a human engineer assigned to them. Engineers are usually found at control consoles looking through the Defender’s eyes and providing them information. They are also required to be deployed if their Defender sustains a quickly fixable injury. Engineers are assigned to their defender when the defender is created and remain assigned until the defender’s destruction or the engineer’s death or retirement.

The Defenders

A simple line up of the main/major characters of my Sci-fi IP “Colonial Defenders”

Adriana-03, Kelly-04, Cait-05, Nora-06, Daisy-07, Vicky-08, Jesse-09, and Maya-10

Believe it or not, they are 60 foot tall monster killing robots.

Jesse-09

Created - 2548

Service - 100 Days (Ongoing)

Engineer - Richard Belehara

Calm, easygoing, and a little prideful, Jesse-09 is a long distance defender. She prefers to sit back on a nearby hill, or building if necessary, and fire large rounds towards enemy armor. She likes tooting her own horn about her nearly perfect accuracy score on the simulation, much to many others chagrin. She has a habit of always holding a bullet between her teeth, Cait doing her best to knock it out when she has the chance.

Her weapon of choice is the MAR-150 sniper rifle. The massive rifle launches large rounds thousands of feet puncturing and destroying anything that it’s pointed at. Jesse also has an active camo hooded poncho, a prototype that CEN tested with her while attempting to develop large scale, flexible active camo. 

Vicky-08

Created - 2546

Service - 2 years (Ongoing)

Engineer - Donovan Polenski

Reckless, unpredictable, and a little crazy, Vicky-08 is an adrenaline junkie. She’s one to fight first, strategize later. Though her eagerness to charge blindly into battle was quite the issue at first, she’s learned to tone it down in certain situations. Whenever she’s not wrestling with Cait or in the repair bay, Vicky is usually running the training simulations. Each time Vicky gets a heavy injury, she begs the general to let her keep it as a trophy or memory of the fight, citing that “It looks cool.” The response is always no as it would affect her combat performance, but she has gotten them to allow her to get the scars “tattooed” on her. Because of her constant training and eagerness to fight, she is quickly becoming the defender’s best fighter, though she still has a way to go.

Vicky focuses on speed overall. While she is a CQC fighter, she uses Double Viper auto pistols so she can fire on the move. She’ll run circles around her targets, ducking behind and weaving around cover to hit them from every direction. She’s a railgun’s worst nightmare.

Adriana-03

Service - 20 years (Ongoing)

Engineer - Ryan Bernhart

Nicknames - Addy, Boss (Daisy/Jesse)

Stern, authoritative, and serious, Adriana-03 is the fearless leader of the defenders. She was promoted to leader after Angela-01 went missing. She quickly grew into the role and has become a great commander of the defenders. While she acts stern towards her fellow defenders, she truly cares about all of the girls under her command, she’s just not the best at showing it all the time. Some believe this is due to her losing her first engineer, Denis, but no one has been bold enough to ask her about such a touchy subject.

Armed with the SASG shotgun, Adriana is able to clear squads of enemy combatants in moments. While the standard shotgun pellets do little to vehicles, she can also load slug rounds to pierce the toughest armor and deal deadly damage to large enemies.

Engineer - Andy Mitchal

Nicknames - Daze

Optimistic, energetic, and humorous, Daisy-07 is the jokester of the defenders. Even during the most serious situations, she’ll try and lighten the mood by diverting people’s attention or making jokes. She knows full well that her antics get on Cait’s nerve, prompting her to continue until a wrestling match between the two breaks out. Adriana, Nora, or Jesse have to break the two up before Cait sends Daisy to the repair bay.

Daisy is the mobile artillery. Her heavy rotary machine gun can lay down a volley of large rounds into any enemy or structure, turning them to paste or rubble respectively. For some extra firepower, Daisy also has four missile bays on her chestplate. Two are armed with singular large missiles while the other two have six smaller missiles each, perfect to crack enemy armor or deliver the finishing blow on an injured foe.

Giant female looking robots built to defend the different colonies of humanity from large and numerous aliens. Fashioned to look like females to help comfort the colonists they save, having a much more gentle and friendlier look than giant kill bots. They’re 32 feet tall and weigh about twenty-one tons without armor.

[REDACTED]

   The defenders have a metal body, the face having a thick mesh to resemble skin to allow for realistic facial movements. Each defender has a number following their name and printed on their chest to signify their order of creation.

Sandra-11 - Construction

   The defenders are usually deployed in squads of four. Occasionally, when a threat is too hard for three to handle, more defenders are deployed. So far, the most defenders deployed on a single mission has been six.

Defenders are built in a way where their limbs are easily replaceable with spares. If a defender gets their arm or leg destroyed, they visit the nearest compound’s repair bay and have the damaged limb removed and the new one attached, taking only an hour or so. If a defender’s chest or face gets damaged, they will need to undergo a much longer repair time. If needed, a new head can be constructed and reattached to the body and the defender will return to normal once calibrated. The defender’s chest is the most important part of the defender’s body and is extremely difficult to replace. The chest houses the defender’s core which is where their main systems and reactor are. If the core is destroyed or suffers too much damage, the defender will be lost since [REDACTED].

   The look of the defenders vary based on what they themselves chose. Once their core is installed and active, they can communicate with the scientists and engineers like a computer. Since each defender is unique, they will allow the defender to choose their armor, hair and color, their [REDACTED]. They ask the defender these questions as the rest of their body is being built and assembled so they can start working on the armor and hair as soon as they’re done with the core components.
