SG Hero: Reloaded - I Am The Wind

In celebration of our nation's 47th National Day (9th August 2012), I decided to revisit one of my first digital pieces [link] and 'reboot' the design from scratch while incorporating elements from the original design.

Do download the full image if you'd like a better view of all the details and decals.

Comments and critiques are much appreciated!

Happy Birthday, Singapore! This is my tribute to a wonderful homeland full of endearing memories and exciting opportunities!

Personal History:
Born ██/██/1991, MAJ JACQUELINE XIE LI TING was a natural scholar and academic, constantly topping her classes, gaining recognition as an incredibly intelligent young woman. Following the footsteps of her father, she joined the Singapore Armed Forces upon graduation from ██████████████. She took a short, 3-year break from her training after coming out top of her class in the Officer Cadet Course to major in both Political Science and Military Strategy in the ████████████████████████, ██████. Upon return to the SAF, MAJ JACQUELINE XIE LI TING was appointed field commander of the ███████ Commando Strike Team, participating in several notable operations across Asia, including ██████████████, ██████████████ and ████████████████, during which her calm, strike-first-ask-later rapid-response leadership style brought out the best in her team, resulting in operational successes with minimal casualties to personnel.
Soon after her return to Singapore after Operation ██████████, MAJ JACQUELINE XIE LI TING accepted participation in the Powered Combat Suit Initiative alongside her CST. Outfitted with the latest in ST Kinetics prototypes, MAJ JACQUELINE XIE LI TING now leads the PCSI team, dubbed the "Titanium Maidens" in operational field tests under ██████████████, a separate chain of command.


Provided Armaments:
ST Kinetics Prototype Armoured Suit "Brynhildr"
Lightweight ceramic-based ballistic armor, combined with a multi-layered threaded-kevlar undersuit and a kinetic barrier generator, provides for strong, solid protection against most types of ballistics and shrapnel while allowing for comfort and full range of motion. An on-board computer interfaces with and seamlessly integrates upgrades and additional armaments that attach onto the suit at hard-points on the arms, back and legs.

PS-Valkyrie High-Mobility Propulsion System
ST Kinetics proprietary holo-wing generation technology allows for minimal energy expenditure during operations without compromising speed and agility. Wings may be folded into a compact form when not required (e.g. temporary land-based combat). An additional, unprecedented method of use discovered by Major Xie during Operation ██████████ is the overcharging of the holo-wing projectors to generate a single electromagnetic pulse that disabled electronics within a range of █████m. This, however, caused the assigned prototype unit to overheat, and it was purged from the suit to avoid personnel injury in the ensuing explosion.

Vajra CQC Weapons Platform
Three variable-voltage kinetic plasma generators mounted on a personnel-friendly one-man platform. Plasma projectiles proved devastating in field tests, providing short-range lethal power without the need for high-explosives or heavy ordnance. However, the weapons easily overheat if fired in long bursts, thus users are trained to fire efficiently in single well-aimed shots. Plasma weaponry proved less efficient at long range due to the loss of ionic charge of projectiles over time. Major Xie has modified the top-mounted generators to be able to project contained plasma fields that she uses as a large claw-like weapon for close-quarters hand-to-hand combat.

X-4 Widowmaker Man-Portable Turret System
A four-barrel rapid-fire laser weapon allows for large amounts of suppressive fire to be laid down upon enemy positions while eliminating the need for the cooldown time between shots. An effective mid- to long-range suppressive weapon that has been used on ships, land vehicles and planes, configured for use on armoured suits. An additional plasma cannon has been added upon personal request by Major Xie.
