- +Cybersuit: Operating the power armor from a cockpit in it's chest, and connected through cybernetics, Zoar can control the functions of Golem with his mind alone. As long as he's plugged in, moving the powersuit is as natural as moving his real arms and legs, drastically increasing his strength.
- +Survival Suit: This power armor is very protected from airborne and environmental effects, as it runs on it's own air supply, and is completely insulated.
- +Autopilot, Engage!: The Z-41 "Golem" has an operational, if crude, class IV droid brain, and is able to act independently of it's wearer. It can follow simple commands, and execute combat protocols.
- -Baby's First Power Armor: As far as power armors go, Golem is a bit barebones, lacking many of the tricks more experienced crafters might employ. A good first try, but certainly could do with some optimization.
- -Clunky: This suit gets around slowly, and it's upper-body movements, while quick, are jerky and lack any kind of refinement.
- -Fry the Circuits: This power armor is particularly weak to ion and EMP weaponry.
DESCRIPTION
In an attempt to become a Jedi without having to show his face, and lacking the physiology to become a Jedi Guardian, Zoar decided to kill two birds with one stone, and put his skills in mechanics and electronics to good use. Over years of trial and error, and long, sleepless nights in his quarters, Golem was finally finished.
The Z-41 power armor is 10 feet tall, with tarnished armor plates made of a turadium-durasteel alloy, covered by a simple leather battle-skirt and hood. The suit is designed to be large, imposing, and intimidating, entirely the opposite of it's wearer. Plugging in his advanced cybernetics, Zoar can pilot the suit from inside it's chest cavity, essentially becoming a large, metallic Jedi.
While the suit does have drawbacks, such as it's simple mechanics, inelegant design, and weakness to electrical damage, Golem makes up for it with it's ease to control, survivability in difficult conditions, and optional autonomous nature.
