>Living Power Armor

>A strange addition to the Wasteland born after the demon-nukes corrupted the landscape. Before the nukes fell, Power Armor served as the most effective form of military hardware for personal soldiers, effectively replacing tanks on the battlefield and needing only one man to operate.

>After the bombs fell, they too were infused with the demonic radiation. While most lie dormant, rarely a suit comes alive and active. The interior frames of the Armor are technically what is occupied by the strange forces that bring about this breed of Monster, and usually only after it experiences losing someone protected in its shell. Fallen suits of power armor with dead and broken men and women inside, who the armor failed to protect, can be brought to awareness by the D-Rads, taking the shape of a feminine, translucent spiritual being. They tenderly bury those they failed to protect, and proceed to embark on a quest to find someone worthy of protecting.

>The Living Power Armors seek to both avenge the fallen and protect those who need protection, often showing up at settlements of humans all alone and standing watch. Those with helmets in-tact operate as guards without ever asking for payment, though when suspicions arise of their nature they usually move on. Occasionally one will find a man worthy of protecting, and the desire in them rises. They occasionally forcibly have the man don herself, using their spiritual body to press them into the suit and then closing around him. Most of the time they will try and form a true relationship and agreement, expressing what they are to the man and offering love and protection. It is rare that men actually turn them down, save in the most bigoted of circumstances.

>Once inside the armor, the Living Power Armor gains a protective quality greater then any normal suits. With their loved one to protect, their armor hardens and strengthens using their new husbands energies through their lovemaking inside the armor. Often felt as a mouth around them, loving arms and legs embracing them, and a tight sex snuggling close as the armor holds them, armor both absorbs the energies of the lovemaking and his fluids to sustain itself. After this point, Power Cores are only vestigial sources of power for when the Armor is operating without a pilot, and the armor gains strength and characteristics unknown to armor made from before the war.

>The Brotherhood of Steel is known to have many suits of Living Power Armor as part of their service, some alone and some companions of Knights and Paladins. The entire procedure is looked on favorably by even the most hardened Brotherhood member as the armor is such an iconic part of their character. They are viewed not as the abominations that the Brotherhood usually tries to destroy and protect humans from, but rather akin to Valkyries on the field for their fallen brothers and sisters come to replace those who have fallen. Hence the rank designation of solo Living Suits of Power Armor is classified as Valkyrie among them.

>Otherwise Living Power Armor can come in many varieties, often wandering the wasteland to repair and modify their external armor pieces for either threatening or protective desires. Some groups attempt to forcibly create Living Power Armor, and attempts have lead to what are often refereed to as 'Raider Power Armor' which are vicious dominatrixes who want nothing more then to grab a man inside them and do things to them no man would emerge sane through while draining them dry of their energies. Others, like the infamous Enclave, have their own very patriotic spirited Living Power Armors of a level of technology beyond most.
