The armour has no AI, mainly because Skyreiko said she looks enough like the Meta from Red Vs Blue.... and that nut job was hunting down and killing people for their AI's.

But the idea of Josh deciding to make an AI to help her is tickling the muse... does Fensapce have any Transformers? j/k

Josh: Well, seeing as I can't fit a normal car now.... *gets a motorbike, a ton of scrap metal, some Transformer DVD's, a hand full of USB's full of decent Transformer fan art and fics and finally ad's a 40k space marine motorbike* This can only end in win or something stupidly amusing.

Quote:The Spartans are cybernetically enhanced and use powered armour of various types. The Spartans are best known for their Search and Rescue actions, mainly because they place themselves on all open stations, Space Vessels and large Space Ships they can. They are reluctant to field Space Marines due to the use of similar forces by Boskonians. Those they do field, the Grey Knights, are always accompanied by two general Spartans and a Senshi commander. Grey Knights are almost universally respected for their near-fanatical dedication to the protection of humanity. (The evacuation of Crystal Osaka only succeeded due to the sacrifice of three Grey Knights.)

Quote:Name: Joshua Greenway
Gender: Female (born male)
Ethnicity: Australian
Citizenship: Australian

In 2012 after much saving and planing, Joshua had finally got enough Handwavium to create something he had always wanted, a personal suit of power armour. But not wanting to be another Tony Stark wannabe, he started working on a suit of Majolnir Mark 6 battle armour from the halo series.

Once the suit was completed, in a fit of fanboyish stupidity, He climbed in and powered it up. Unfortunately, the suit was every bit as good as the fiction made it up to be. As he went to pick up the helmet, his simple movement effectively turned him into a human bouncy ball, sending him through the remaining wavium and half way down the block before the suit safety cut off power.

Eventually he came to in the Leonard H. McCoy Memorial Medical Center, When he crashed through his remaining handwavuim, he coincidently ingested/inhaled most of it, resulting in an extreme biomod. Josh's body is now on par with that of the Spartans he was trying to mimic, but as expected, the change had several quirks as Josh is now a seven foot tall elfin woman that with a blond wig, could pass as Power Girl

After finally getting her paperwork settled, she decided to head off into space and see what she could find out in the stars. Signing on as s hired gun on a friends transport, Josh at first had great fun, the pay wasn't great, but she was in space, so everything was perfect.

But as she travelled through space, she heard more and more of the Bosconians and their activities, from slavery, piracy and all out war. 

A certain old comic book line came to mind. “With great power, comes great responsibility.”

At the next the space dock she handed in her notice, took her armour and headed out for the Cyber Confederation to join the Spartan corps.

Quirks. 
Amazon Brigade: Stands seven foot tall, with a body that’s a mix of super model and pro athlete.
Stormtrooper accuracy: When using pistols, machine guns or stranded rifles, could not hit the broad side of a barn from inside it unless...
AoE FTW!: Any weapon that would cause an area of effect will hit dead on. (this also includes shot guns for some reason)
Bad Poker Face: While Josh has a decent poker face, her ears are an excellent indicator of her mood, tending to move on their own, ranging from pressed flat against her skull when angry, drooping when upset, wiggling when amused and much to her embarrassment, sticking straight out and turning a slight red when "excited"  

Armour Quirks.
What the hell is this black stuff?: when the suit is exposed to extreme environments (hard vacuum, extreme heat/cold), it gains a strange layer of black ash/sludge.
Two man job: No matter what Josh does, the armour always seems to take 2, some times 3 times as long to put on by her self that with if she got some one to help, but she's still a little uncomfortable about anyone being in such close proximity to her. (or embarrassed as all hell )
Bit tight: Most standard MJOLNIR chest plates are incompatible with Josh's build, meaning she needs to go for the handful that have in her words "More breathing room." and even then she will some times complain of tightness.
