Aha, I am glad to help. Really, the ATS was an interesting concept; and I didn't know why you would exactly scrap it unless you had big plans for the NO (Niha Origins, of course) story.

I understand the use of Environment-Based Exo-Skeletal designs, since most of the Adaptavie Armor concepts are combined with the Combat Skin base of Vantelic's Mach Series. And actually, Vantelic's upgrades have a lot of inspiration; Iron Man's Mark Armor (like you've said), Batman's Batsuit, Gordon Freeman's HEV Mark Series, and Master Chief's MJOLNIR Series. Most of these adds certain Mod's to the armor set, such as Thruster-Pack Capabilities, Augmentated Armor Modifications (amplified strength, speed, durability, intelligence [via Neural Enhancement's only]), Armor Flexability (capable of handeling most situations exceptionally well), Radiation/Foreign Chemical Protection, etc. This makes Vantelic's Mach Armor's (depending on Generation) important for most tasks. But I agree, the Adaptavie Armor Upgrade may be the way to go for Niha.

I always prefer to make a story for a character somewhere in the future of their life, and then explain how they got there and who they were. So, that option really wasn't a difficult choice for me xD

Again, glad to help!
