OK, I've gotta know, who are the two unnamed counters included with Enter the Gene Pool?

That's very cool!

That is really, really cool.  I've got to say - while the art was very good overall and I like a number of the markers, that one blew them all away (is the coolest by far!).   

It's great that you did an homage like this for your buddy.  I too am sorry to hear about your loss.  Hopefully in some small way his memory goes on through this adventure!

I'll be highlighting Stiletto in a future project. He's a mercenary who kinda is like Bullseye meets Zaran, but not as scary accurate...

FENRIS is just a long (copyright'ed) story, I'll keep short here. My friend originally played him like an Iron Man analog, but we agreed to let the character's secret ID, due to him being an older scientist tech sort of guy anyway, retire and sponsor volunteer personnel to drive the suit(s) for him. So in essence he played the roles of the inventor and the pilots who followed at the same time.... We called the pilots 'drivers' and the original driver and creator of the technology became their benefactor...
Max Austin, the creator, created a series of armors, all based on the same technology, but with different subsequent functions depending on what added system that he was testing, all working toward a final suit. It's a fun extra effect that each suit that had a different purpose was named after a mythical creature. Before my friend was done playing the inventor, Austin had created several more armors... here are just a few
FENRIS - the core tech that exploited the neural net that interfaced with the drivers nervous system and a set of basic weapons and defenses.

DRAKE (Deflective Reflex Actuated Kinetic Envelope) - added technology of increasing the power in the armor to create a field that provided directional involuntary defense.

CHIMERA (Counter Hazard Immersion Modified Environmental Response Armor) - added higher imperviousness to hazrdous environments.

ZEPHYR (Zero Execution Prototype Heightened Y-axis Response) - added extreme immediate propulsion abilities.

there were a few others and all led to

PHOENIX (Prototype Human Omni-Environmental Neurolinked Interplanetary eXploration) The ultimate suit of armor to go on the world's greatest spacewalk.
