Power Suits: Powered Armorsuit Dragonfire
The MW/44 powered armorsuit (code name: Dragonfire) was a government project built by the Yamato Corporation for the New Japan military. The basic idea was to construct a weapon that could be used to fight the Demon Robots that were on the rise and terrorizing the country. In addition, the project sought to use the mystical OmniCrystal as a power source.
The resulting weapon is a 9 foot tall power suit that can run at up to 150 miles an hour, leap a quarter of a mile, punch through tank armor and utilize a wide variety of weapons. It has extremely tough armor and can also generate a force field that protects it from most types of damage, but only for 30 seconds at a time. At the cost of a 75% power drain, the suit can also fly for up to 3 minutes at a speed of 500 mph.
The suit is very impressive looking, with a sleek “sports car” look. It is colored gold and green and the OmniCrystal is housed in the forehead. The Entire suit separates into two halves so the pilot can enter and exit. It has advanced life support systems and allows the pilots a completely normal range of movements. All weapons and other systems are mentally controlled.
A glitch in the plans for the suit came when, just before testing, a member of the I.T. staff accidentally stumbled and touched the OmniCrystal. It was then that all concerned found out that the crystal, handled so far by robots, would bond with the first living being who touched it. Nobody was pleased to find this out, including the I.T. guy, Kenji Saito.
Kenji is a nice guy who has no desire to become any sort of hero. In fact, he would really like to stay as far away from violence as possible, much preferring to hang out with his buddies playing video games and ogling his hot neighbor chicks. Unfortunately, the New Japan Army has other ideas and Kenji is literally forced into the powersuit every day for training and often for real battle versus the Demon Robots or other threats to the populace.
