Prospective, promotional character cards for the player classes (and enemies you'll have to face) in Soft Daisy. They are as follows (left to right):
A hybrid, salvaged military machine, cobbled together from various police and army units, held together with "Magiflesh (TM)" a special flesh matter that is Systemsphere's equivalent of duct tape or gum. There exist other, stronger, variants of the Soldierbody deeper in Systemsphere's more sensitive systems. These mindless jarhead machines exist only to enact corporate violence and terror on any that don't adhere to the corporation's heavy laws and edicts... or KAPEK's... or those that do when the big AI feels like it...
Dumb, slow, sturdy, combat effective.
A psychic meatball. A real headbreaker. Biomechanical unit of vatflesh and recycled polymers. Thin, weak, somewhat gangly in form. But the head--an enlongated mass of augmented brains and extraneous combat lobes--is the source of the real power. It sees you, it can boil your blood, blow your head up, wipe your brain like a bad harddrive, set you on fire, force confessions of your secrets among other things. An indispensable corporate asset. These meatballs are born into the Intellect Corps, the logic tribes that ensure Systempshere and its many, many systems run flawlessly, as they see fit, for the god machine. They work like a network of minds. A few rogue ones get smart and vanish into the commercial wastes. Good money for a mindfreaker. Needs 'focusing' gear to properly use for garden variety combat and is as soft as flesh comes, but it can hit hard when it wants to…
If the military force of the Soldierbody fails along with the sneakiness of the Stealthbody and the psychic might of the Psychebody, then you have to get freaky. This rollicking sack of mutagen-rich flesh is a company approved bioweapon unit for commando raids and executive ordered plagues. This meatboy is an all-purpose utility footsoldier, capable of infecting, mutating, multiplying and eating--whatever is needed to complete it's task. Fire is a recommended element for dealing with these, though some get smart and consume chunks of metal to make use of those stronger properties in their bodies, or consume enough Keratin to create interesting horns and nails that enable them to grow into the rumored higher level Fleshbodies…
A custom, disposable stealth unit cobbled together from cheap polymers and recycled plastics and light metals. What the unit lacks in durability it makes up for in lightweight movement--prime stealth material, little noise, fast as lightning. These units, purchaseable and tradable, serve as Systemsphere's assassins. Hush-hush 'removals' and liquidations, on the go, for the busy executive. When force fails, you take them by surprise. Even better, it's cheap material and light weight allows for a nifty set of computer frying gear--cyberspace combat machine--if these things don't shoot you in the head from behind out of a grate, they'll fry your systems and make you die slowly.
[ FUN FACT: These pieces will also serve as art in the in game class selection menu! ]
