[BACKSTORY, other stuff located beneath it]In the year of 2087, Scientist involved in the project only known as "Verun" made a enormous break through. Although the public curiously wondered what Verun was, it was kept in top secret by the Government and Military of various countries involved in the project. But at last, in 2089, the public was admitted a visit to the top secret area 92, where Verun was in process. They were not impressed. All they saw was robotic body parts thrown together to form a shabby-looking suit of armor. Then everyone was shooed out and that was that. The public gradually lost interest in the project, and more into the upcoming election...But at last something was leaked from Verun, and the Public wanted to see the suit again. The Government refused and said that the project was almost near completion, and it was to dangerous to show the public. The public was disappointed, but still hoped that "Near completion" was soon. The Government kept their word, though. In 2090, On a grand stage, the suit was shown again. How amazed they were that this was the suit they had seen previously! Powered by a power stone the scientist said. A few days later, when the crowds came to see the suit, a new change had happened. Someone was IN the suit! 34 year old Sergeant first class James Verun Abernathy had been entrusted with the job of wearing the suit. Abernathy was a special man, who had lost both his arms and legs from heavy laser fire in the Elsyian war. He bravely had the power stone in a case implanted in his back, and legs and arms put into him. Once in the suit, there was no going back. The wearer would rely on the power stone to live. Abernathy was damaged a few times during the testing stage, but still managed to live through it. The suit was equipped with a state of the art computer hacking system and various weapons of sorts in sizes. Abernathy was expected to be used in a state of emergency from anything from an ET Invasion to a nuke in the hands of terrorist...
[BACKSTORY ^^^] [TLDR, Public finds out super secret project is horrible, get interested in politics, then see the suit again and marvel at it. Human goes inside without any arms or legs. Poor guy.]
Whew, that took awhile to type! Anyway, everyone, here is my contest entry! (WOoooO) I didn't notice the contest had started, so I had to quickly make a back-story. I hope you like it! I think its cool how much better I've gotten since my last entry for a contest (Well, I removed the VERY first because it was HORRID) So anyway, here is the version with the helmet...
