Battledrive
Each Battledrive suit is designed to enhance the flexibility and durability of the wearer, all of whom are encouraged to increase their abilities as necessary for their own assigned sectors. Whether they are frontline combatants, or recon units, Battledrive users are easily recognized on the battlefield and highly feared for their cold-hearted efficiency in war.In the distant future, specialists are deployed that make use of unique suits that are unobtainable through means beyond the military training they are given. Each of these individuals is bonded directly with their armor, making it impossible to separate the two. This is achieved through the creation of nanobots using biological plant material programmed with synthetic proteins. The result is a biosuit that creates a permanent symbiotic relationship, in which the very skin of the person is replaced. These unique suits are formidable in battle, and so feared by the average person that the name of the technology has overtaken any official name attempted to be granted, even by the corporations that make the soldiers wearing them.
Battledrive users are harsh foes, forgoing all connection to magic for the sake of a perfect integration with technology. These soldiers are often alien in appearance, though mostly through choice as their armor molds to their will. This is due to the treatment many of them are given, causing a psychological separation between themselves and other races. Only others who also carry a Battledrive suit are recognized as kin, and many are hesitant to open themselves to those outside of the Battledrive community.
