V1 | Supreme Machine

V1 was a war-machine who was created for a war that had already ended. A culmination of humanity's technological knowledge of war-machines, V1 is considered to be the world's best killing machine with an aggressive and bloodthirsty personality to match. As mankind died, rendering the earth barren of the blood-fuel the machines needed to survive, V1 plunged head first into Hell without hesitating, killing and consuming its way through the demons, sinners and even angels that stood in its way.

It doesn't just mindlessly kill, though. V1 is driven by an intense fear of death, and its rampage through Hell reflects that, as it is forced to kill and keep killing to keep its ever dwindling fuel source above zero, with very little thought put towards what will happen once it reaches the bottom of Hell with nothing else to kill. It does have moments where it shows that it isn't a mindless killer, as it can demonstrate unexpected kindness to the Ferryman by giving it a gold coin, instead of attacking it for its blood, and how it always lets Gabriel escape with his life intact...

As a war-machine, a highly advanced one at that, V1 has a myriad of abilities and tools at its disposal:

• Vector Redirection System: Also known as 'Feedbacker', V1 is capable of 'parrying' majority of attacks and converting the kinetic energy behind them into a directional explosion back towards the enemy. Some attacks cannot be parried however, such as anything that will spear or skewer it. Energy beams, however, can be parried.

• Matter-Energy Conversion Storage System: Its wing blades are actually storage space, where solid objects can be converted into data and stored inside of them, and then reassembled for easy use. This dissembly/reassembly is incredibly fast, as V1 is able to switch between weapons within a second.

• Instant Propulsion System: This allows V1 to put on a rapid burst of speed called a 'dash'. It can cross large gaps using this method, but it doesn't last very long.

• Continuous Propulsion System: V1's method of efficient, rapid travel is to drop down into a 'slide'. It is difficult to steer and only really works in straight lines, but it is incredibly quick and does not obey the laws of gravity, even when going uphill.

• Fall Impact Reduction System: V1 does not take fall damage ever, giving more credibility to the theory that V1 is actually a cat.

• Potential Energy Storage System: Also known as 'Slam Storage', V1 can 'store' kinetic energy in its legs from repeatedly jumping and slamming back down, which will then allow it to leap massive distances and height. How it does this is handwaved as 'tech shit'.

• Weapon Arsenal: V1 stores a large amount of weaponry in its wings, such as: revolvers, shotguns, nailguns, railcannons and rocket launchers. These all have modifications as well, such as the chainsaw shotgun. It can kill you in many different and interesting ways.

• Knuckleblaster: The arm V1 tore from V2 and installed it onto itself, Knuckleblaster lacks the parry capability of Feedbacker, but instead has shotgun capabilities installed into its fists. If it punches you, it detonates the shotgun blast, forcing most enemies to hurtle backwards. It's an efficient way to knock troublesome foes off of high platforms.

• Whiplash: Yet another arm V1 tore from V2, this time its corpse. Whiplash lacks the parry capabilities of Feedbacker and the explosive power of Knuckleblaster, and instead is purely utility. It has a long cord that can be used to attach to things from a distance, allowing V1 to traverse terrain quickly - or pull enemies towards it (or pull itself towards the larger enemies).

V2: The machine that was to replace V1, they fought twice down in Hell. V1 bested it both times, with the second fight leading to V2's death. There is some history there...

Gabriel: Yes, Gabriel as in Archangel Gabriel of Heaven. They have some messed up, psychosexual fighting each other to the death bullshit going on, as V1 is the only creature to ever best Gabriel in a fight, who has found a twisted joy in pitting himself against a challenge while V1 gets to refuel from something that doesn't die afterwards. Their relationship is very violent and messed up, but in a way they understand each other perfectly - which is kind of sad when you think about it.
