The Tank

NAME: The Tank

DESCRIPTION: A durable, powerful, but rather slow robot, which has the current main purpose of keeping alive whoever it is programmed to defend, usually fellow Resistance members it is deployed with. "The Tank" was originally being developed for the purpose of replacing Bouncers with more of itself in Uptown for stronger security, but the Mayor called off the project so time and effort could instead be spent into developing a machine that could somehow generate Bacon Cheeseburgers. At some point, members of the Resistance found this dormant robot laying around in a scrapyard and took it to the Home Base to reprogram it for their purposes.


STATS:
Endurance: 4/4
Speed: 2/4
Melee: 4/4
Firearms: 3/4


SKILL: Power Sap
- A burst of electricity that damages and pushes back anyone nearby, with a chance of inflicting Dizzy. Useful if multiple melee-only enemies are aggro'd on it. It can also be used to recover health by draining electricity from electronics. Does double damage on wet tiles and instantly kills NPCs in water.


TRAITS (Positive):
Unstoppable-ish - Built with thick armor plates with the original intention of letting it withstand damage and hold its ground better than the Bouncer.

Knockback King & Increased Crit Chance - Designed with powerful arms to send intruders flying or even outright annihilate them.


TRAITS (Negative):
Sucker and Malodorous - Who would want this thing spreading flakes of rust all over the place in their stores?

Electronic - While it may not need recharging as much as the Robot, it can still benefit from draining electricity through Power Sap to heal itself. Its power source is more efficient and long-lasting than the Robot's, but it is unable to overcharge itself to raise its stats.

Loud - Being heavily-armored also increases its weight, reducing its speed and making its footsteps louder.

Vocally Challenged (and Malodorous again) - Unfortunately, development on this robot was halted before audio input and output devices could be implemented into it, making communication with it impossible. Perhaps a Translator could be installed into it. The lack of audio input and output devices also make it impossible for The Tank to hire anyone. It can still read stuff, but there aren't really NPCs who communicate by signs.


ITEMS:
Taser - Not only can The Tank unleash a burst of electricity through Power Sap, it is also capable of firing out electric bolts. Also useful for stunning fleeing targets to let itself catch up and finish them off.

BIG QUEST:
Dark Fate - Screw the Mayor over by taking away the electricity needed to run his Bacon Cheeseburger Generator (if it was ever made anyways).
