Remember ages ago I planned to make that Skull Faction, then dissapeared?
Well as it turns out, I can't be bothered to play Cortex Command anymore. So here's my unfinished ♥♥♥♥.
I did not get very far with this, at all. The Skull Clones are functionally the same as normal clones (I think they might be slightly stronger because of the armor placement, but I'm not sure), and the guns are just slight tweaks of the original Spine and Rib rifles.
I had alot of plans for this, but I just can't be bothered to finish it, and even if I did want to, I think someone else could do a much better job than I could. That said, backstory and stuff-
Backstory
Genius and Sanity always seem to be different sides of one coin. Neither can be up at the same time as the other. Which is the very reason the Skull Faction exists.
One brain found the gold rush silly and pointless, mainly because he was already incredibly rich. He used his money to build a massive spacestation, where he performed his experiments. What were his experiments? He found that, given the right input, a cloning machine would spit out a mutant instead of a normal clone. He simply wanted to see what he could make from the clones, then he would copy and save the DNA of the mutant so that he could create more if he needed to.
He made one fatal mistake. He misjudged his mutations. One lucky freak managed was born with enlarged organs, and an enlarged brain. It proved to be an amazingly quick learner, and the he inserted a control chip in order to stop it from figuring out how to stop him. He misjudged the strength of the clone's brain, and it overpowered the chip. Defeating the guards was easy, the scientist was never a combatant, and the brainclone had been planning for this since he met his brethren.
The brainclone let his brothers free, not long before he decided to kill the brain by breaking a single hole in the glass and letting it drain away slowly.
The brainclone had ideas. Many ideas. Brilliant ideas. His mutant brethren and the twisted mutant cloning machine, he could make an army. An unstoppable army of flesh and blood and mutations, and anyone who was to oppose it would be nothing more than resources, bones, blood, DNA, weapons, armor, the enemy's only purpose was to fuel the oncoming storm.
The Scavenge began.
Skull Clone
The Backbone of the Skull Faction's ongoing scavenge.
It's basically just a Heavy Coatilation soldier, it even looks like one in alot of places. Skull Clones wear a skeleton as armor, and the skeleton appears to have been mutated in order to fit over them.
Spine Rifle
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but bones themselves are weapons
Slightly different than the originally converted version. The Spine Rifle fires barely visible shards of bone. This version is slightly more powerful, and slightly less accurate. The Spine Rifle is the standard weapon of the army. (And it looks really wimpy at the moment, as the sprite was originally designed for the old tiny clones)
Rib Rifle
There is little more terrifying than the sight of a Skull Clone using your own clone's skeleton as a gun.
The skeleton in this case is not mutated, instead it's been filled with mechanics. It fires smaller shards of bone than the Spine Rifle, but has rapid-fire capabilities. The Rib Rifle is quite heavy because, well, you're walking around with a human torso in your hands, plus mechanics.
