    I need an "S"

    I'm designing a power armor character based off the word AEGIS. It's powered by a small singularity. So far I have:

    Armored
    Exoskeleton
    Gravitic
    Induction
    S??

    Any suggestions?

    Ummm.... How.... about... Umm... Singularity?

    I mean it does come from Singular which can mean outstanding or exceptional.

    And the suit is powered by that.

    Re: I need an "S"

    Again, System was my first thought, though Suit made as much sense and went right past me!

    System
    Suit

    Re: I need an "S"

    Suit and System are the first two I thought of as well.

    Re: I need an "S"

    Gotta be 'System.' Or 'Sentnel.'

    'Suit'? Suit dosn't go in the acronym. EVER. It's just not done.
    Anyway, from the top . . .

    A: Attack, Assault, Advanced, Air, Aquatic, Atomic (Can it fly?)

    E: Exoskeleton, Evasion, Energy, Enviornment

    G: Ground, Geo, Gravity

    I: Intercept(or), Intelligence, Interlock(ed), Interlaced

    S: System, Sentinel


    I'd go with Assualt/Evasion Ground Interception System, myself. But what does the suit actually do? And do you want AEGIS to be the suit itself, or its power source?

    And is there a word for water or ocean that starts with an E?
    ---
    Or you could go the entire campaign without explaining what it stands for. It worked for Armored Trooper V.O.T.O.M.S. . . .

    Edit: Forgot 'Enviornment,' dammit.

    This might help if anyone else finds themselves in a similar acronym bind for a robot or the like:
