Biography
Years ago, Tyler Vance was selected to be the pilot
of the YS-1300T exosuit as part of the Ironclad
Project’s efforts to make an armored single-person
suit with the firepower of an entire platoon. A
decorated combat veteran, Lt. Vance had the right
mindset for the complex multitasking required to
run the suit. Ordered to support Legacy’s Freedom
Five initiative, Lt. Vance put the suit’s considerable
firepower and his own tactical prowess on the line
under the codename Bunker. Over the years, he
fought in many Freedom Five missions, became
friends with his teammates, and learned some
dreadful truths about secret programs conducted
by the Army on people with powers. After the
events of OblivAeon and the death of his friend
and the leader of the Ironclad project, General
Armstrong, he left the Army to become the full time
combat trainer for Freedom Academy, venturing
out in the field with the Sentinels of Freedom in a
new Bunker suit.
Capabilities and Motivations
After the Bunker suits were all annihilated when
OblivAeon destroyed Freedom Tower, Captain
Vance and Dr. Meredith Stinson created a new
design for the Bunker armor. Vance can call in
modules from a satellite in low earth orbit to
adapt to changing combat conditions. The resulting
upgrades drop in guided pods that slot into place
using Dr. Stinson’s mag-rail system. Dr. Stinson also
created a new weapon for Bunker: a Regulated
Impulse Operations and Tactics Cannon. Or, more
simply, the R.I.O.T. Cannon. Using the same magrail
system, the cannon can be reconfigured in a
variety of ways, from firing customized rounds to
changing into a deployment launcher for sensor
drones. As a result, despite losing access to militarygrade
ordnance, the new suit is even more capable,
but it’s still only as good as the pilot. Fortunately,
Captain Vance has an excellent mind for tactical
analysis and organization, as well as years of combat
experience fighting foes both conventional and
unconventional, as well as the dedication to see any
mission through.
Personal Life
At Freedom Academy, Captain Tyler Vance teaches
students combat - how to identify a fight, how to
win a fight, and even how to avoid a fight. There are
common classes that focus on tactics and physical
fitness, but Captain Vance also creates a customized
regimen for each student. For some, it focuses
on control over their powers to make sure that
they don’t unleash them accidentally. For others, it
emphasizes how to carry on when their powers
are stripped from them. When he’s not on missions
or teaching, he can be found in the engineering bay
tinkering with the suit, or out on dates with either
Maia Montgomery or Wraith, depending on the
type of date.
