Axtlan's Sketches - Formation (Characters)
Big plates, compact frames, shields, blocky gear. A lot of this is just testing how much armor is too much and where it breaks the silhouette. Some lean into control roles, some into command, some into heavy frontline.
At this stage, it’s all about readability.
Basic militia idea. Something for large population control.
Civilian variant. Stripped-down protection.
Formation agent. Enforcer type. Leaning toward military-police mix.
Senior captain. More authority, still mobile.
Senior commander. Less movement, more presence. Central control role.
Communications/analytics agent. Not frontline. Gear-heavy, less armored.
Messianic leader. Religious + military authority combined. Needs stronger identity.
Chief scientist. Half-protected, half-exposed.
Environmental gear variant. Adjusted for harsh conditions.
Full armor base unit. Core Formation soldier. Starting point for everything else.
Adaptive variant. More utility, extra gear. Less rigid than base unit.
Heavy unit. Maximum armor. Slower, more defensive.
Chemical/radiation suit. Flexible but still sealed.
High-altitude or extreme environment armor. More sealed, more systems.
Assault brute type. Built to push through resistance directly.
