Description
Yeesh, I need to learn to conserve space.

Over the entire year, what started as a minor joke of a concept between friends (read: Sam) became fleshed out more and more. The premise?

Gradius meets Reploids.

Name: VIC Viper
Weaponry: Vulcan, Laser, Miniguns, Mega Particle Gun, Shields, Remote Options
Manufacturer: PRIVATE Dr. Venom
Bio: Variable Integrative Combat Prototype Model Viper, often shortened to Vic Viper, is one of the first testbeds to replicating X's unique armor and weapon capabilities, while majority of the Reploid scientist community was researching X's mental capabilities of reasoning or the Maverick phenomenon. As the foundation model, majority of Vic's armor and weapon enhancements are externally equipped.
As his name suggests, Vic Viper is capable of altering his weapons systems to adapt to any situation. The "wings" on his back are not only flight stabilizers, but they also carry most of the weapon systems Vic usually uses, which includes a shield generator, missiles, and double sets of vulcans on each wing.
He also possesses the prototype M.A.X Drive, which enhances the armor and weapons the longer one remains in combat. It operates in tandem with the user;s concentration. For example, the more he uses his vulcans, and the bigger his determination, the vulcans upgrade themselves, transforming/rematerializing into miniguns that quadruple the rate of fire and increase firepower. In essence, as long as he remains standing, Vic is essentially invincible. However, the M.A.X. Drive is also completely unstable; one hit powerful enough to break the user's concentration (EG a powerful laser blast, an ambush from behind, or a concussionary full frontal assault), and it burns out, resetting itself.

Vic is easygoing and affable out of combat; in combat, pragmatism takes the helm.

I wanted to design Vic as a snake that WASN'T just a snake with limbs sticking out or a naga-esque figure. While this is VERY much a humanoid figure, I'm still happy with this, though I believe the design can be pushed a liiiiitle further.

And alas, I accidentally made his head a bit bigger than it should be.
