Name: Jakob
Age: 24
Species: Robot.
Description: Difficult to describe (due to attire), but he is an android with near-black plating. His face is comprised of a relatively odd helmet design with large pointed ears. They're probably there to keep Jakob's hat on. Anyway, there are three parts to the head itself. The main plating, the muzzle plating, and the visor. The muzzle plate is comprised of two parts littered with a neat ventilation system. From a distance, it makes Jakob look like he's grinning. His visor is apparently one-sided glass, with no lights going through (except when he activates flashlights, which are quite bright). Height: 6'2"
Attire: Usually a very dark gray trench coat with a matching wide-brim fedora, and with matching pants of varying types. He has been known to wear dress pants, cargo trousers, and baggy sweats. Also has a blue scarf lined with kevlar.
Weapon Systems: Are the following (Latest update, in terms of the beginning of ITR):
-KPG-designed plasma-based revolver.
-KPG-designed plasma-based sawn-off scattergun.
-KPG-designed plasma-based sidearm.
-KPG-designed Plasma-based SMG.
-trench combat knife.
-KPG-designed plasma-based single-shot grenade launcher.
-KPG-designed plasma-based shotgun.
-KPG-designed plasma-based sniper rifle system.
-Can also improvise weaponry.
-Also experienced in martial arts. Tends to favor the Wing Chun system.
Armor: His armor "suit" is a custom-built set by KPG, made of a still-unnamed alloy that's tough enough to take hypersonic tungsten rounds with minimal damage. Unfortunately, it has a low melting point. Simple fire can cause severe damage if the alloy is left in there. Plasma-based weaponry also present a problem. Plasma-based weaponry are effective against almost everything anyway. His blue kevlar scarf also protects his neck, which is the weakest part of the armor.
The Alloy
-Low melting point. Simple fire can cause it to melt.
-Anywhere below the melting point will allow the alloy to freeze again. As such, it's easy to weld and re-shape.
-Despite that, impossible to evaporate
-When frozen, even if freshly welded, it's dense enough to deflect standard projectiles.
-Weak against explosives, due to the heat waves.
-Weak against plasma, due to melting point.
-Strong against ice. The alloy gets stronger in the cold.
Armor systems:
-----HELMET
-Visor Modes:
---Standard
---Scan
---Review (Library of all that he's learned. Only uses for review.)
---Night Vision
---Capture (Camera, can be used in conjunction with other visors)
---Thermal (white = hot)
---Reverse Thermal (black = hot)
---X-Ray
---Motion-tracking
-"Dumb" Artificial Intelligence (maintenance, overview of performance, and announces updates. Only Jakob can hear him.)
-Muzzle Plate - Fitted with gas mask systems
-Flashlight systems behind the visor.
-----BODY SYSTEMS
-Automated weapon assembly system.
-Camouflage Pattern Sensor Array.
-Active Cloaking.
-Robot-based Repair Kit:
---Blowtorch.
---Extra samples of his alloy.
---Soldering iron.
---Assorted Electrical kits.
---Welding kit.
-Human-based First-Aid Kit:
---Pouch of O-negative blood
---Syringe
---Bandage rolls
---Blood-transferring systems
---Cleaning alcohol
---Assorted surgery tools
To top it all off, Jakob also has a "dumb" AI built for maintenance and giving Jakob updates he's not yet aware of. As such, it rarely speaks and can only be heard by Jakob (internal speakers.)
-----OTHER EQUIPMENT
-Pencil
-Notebook
-Cellphone
-Pocket knife
Personality: Realistic, observant, tactical, non-emotional, and very stable-minded. His biggest strength would have to be his intelligence when it comes to combat.
He does not hesitate in doing whatever to a target, whether it's kill, torture, or whatever else... unless he knows the person. If that were the case, he'd try to avoid unnecessary conflict by talking it out. Sometimes he chooses to shoot first and ask questions later, while other times he doesn't. He fancies himself a good judge to choose which works for the situation.
He views everything and everyone as something that is alive. He is not dazzled by immense beauty and he is not disgusted by horrible, grotesque beings. He is impartial to everything, except those trying to kill without a perfectly good reason, or aggressive targets.
In terms of inspiration, he mostly resembles Rorschach from Watchmen.
Super Powers: None. Only his systems and his ability to move. He has mere higher-than-average strength (able to lift a car, but not flip said car) instead of super strength. Unable to fly, move at hypersonic speeds, or anything considered "super-hero-ish" He runs at a higher-than-average speed, but no more than some high school jogger.
His only real "superpower" is his incredibly stable mind. He's capable of tactical thinking even in near-death situations. Oddly enough, he can still express emotion and even laugh at a moment where laughter is plausible.
Strengths: Highly experienced in close combat and weapon systems, incredibly stable mind capable of thinking things out quickly. Armor capable of blocking bullets with barely any damage whatsoever. He's also able to jump pretty high. Also a strong marksman.
Physical strength-wise, he can carry all of his equipment within his armor suit and still be able to lift a small car. He won't be able to throw it or flip it effortlessly.
He is fast-acting, and (not to sound like a broken record) very efficient.
However, as he develops in society, he starts losing more and more interest in the feelings of others.
Weaknesses: Vulnerable to fire and anything hotter, including plasma-based weaponry. Also vulnerable to EMPs. He's no superhero and can be overwhelmed pretty easily if measures are taken by the enemy. He cannot swim or fly. All of his weapons are shot-based, and therefore need to be reloaded when emptied. Adding to that, when he runs out of ammo, he's out of ammo, and will need to re-stock back at KPG's house. He is unable to multitask, unlike the vast majority of superheroes.
Likes: Realism, combat, being in the field, tearing apart one labeled simply as "enemy." KPG.
Dislikes: super-heroes and super-villains, for the most part. Organized military groups, extremists, politics, stupidity in general, and the supernatural.
Other Information:
-Despite being a robot, he is able to consume food. KPG integrated an energy processor of sorts to allow it.
-He enjoys Chinese food, as does KPG. It's mainly because of the sauce.
-He, like KPG, is a fan of Pink Floyd, though not to an extreme extent as KPG- who blasts it out in the basements while Jakob prefers staying upstairs.
-He really doesn't like it when people try to meet KPG without KPG's permission.

BUNKER V
It was an abandoned house that KPG repossessed and rebuilt with the help of Jakob. It is literally built to keep people out and unaware of what happens within. The walls have a layer of lead, canceling out any sort of x-ray vision software. It's made of a toughened variant of concrete, with tough metal plating. Said plating is not the same material as Jakob's alloy.
Underneath is a laboratory almost twice the size of the house itself (which is a below-average one-story house.) which is built completely with security in mind. It has multiple outer layers of retaining walls made of the toughened concrete and metal, with layers of lead within.
Sensors integrated into the walls are used to detect diggers, or anything trying to get in.
What they lack, however, are automated defenses. KPG has yet to write finish writing the artificial intelligence to be integrated with the turrets, as well as building the turrets. KPG also complained at the fact that he'll have to "continuously create ammunition for use."
Jakob has suggested that he make them energy-based, also using the solar panels all over the roof of the house.
The house itself is otherwise entirely self-sufficient.
