Description
Stealth armor concept in action

A brief explanation for some recent character designs: Ateks Luztial is a 'sentinel agent', a physically-enhanced athlete conscripted to the military.

He and the other sentinels in my gallery hail from the highly-imperialistic nation of Aremar, where sentinels are sort of a commodity, as well as a minority demographic. The legions of Aremar's Imperial Army are -owned- by private entities, and the agents are traded between legions for profit. Very few of these agents, excepting the Generals and higher-ranking officials, are paid.

Service is life-long, non-optional, and most sentinels eventually become casualties of foreign/domestic conflicts (the very name, 'sentinel', here comes from the old Armarian noun "sentelio", which means "sacrifice"). This social norm is as old as the country itself, and eventually causes a civil war. Which is where things get squirrel-ly.

Sentinels are baked into the culture, although it's closer to the way we see modern-day professional athletes than service men and women.
Some agents are very well known.
Some would even say "famous."
This is one of them- the Shrike of Halsheraad might not be very big, but he is quiet, heavy... and fast.

Design heavily inspired by actual performance wear. The idea here is that this is military-issue armor that has been stripped down and customized to match the precise physicality of the wearer. The cleats are for traction on uneven terrain, which can be life saving. The white detailing (reflective paint) cuts down on friendly fire by keeping him visible to near-by agents, presumably his team.
