There is nothing known about the origin of J6 as person, mainly this is because J6 is not a person, but a helmet.

A code name for Robotic Assistance Apparatus Model J version 6.0

It's unknown who made it, but there have been previous versions, J1 till J5.

The helmet J6 wears makes him J6, it has it's own mind and AI that takes over the brain and functions of the person wearing the helmet.

Over the course of the many years that the person has been wearing the J6 helmet, the body (or hardware as the AI calls it) has been taking serious damage, and to patch up the mortal wounds the AI started to replace the missing limbs with cybernetic parts, making J6's body a cyborg.

J6 is not employed by anyone; he bounty hunts for the highest bidder and 'collects items,' thieving, with a priority on self-interest.

J6 is an interstellar time-traveling bounty hunter, a gunslinger that mainly lives on his spaceship, the Hyperium, that has the ability to jump to different universes and through time wherever J6 chooses.

At all times, J6 wears a helmet that encases the host's head. The helmet is silver-grey in nature, with the side chop parts being a light/dark red, with the top of the helmet, down to the back, being the same colour. It has a black ''T'-shaped visor with a green light where the mouth would be.

J6 also wears a two-part shirt. It is white with a collar, with grey buttons going down the front, with a black shirt underneath, continuing from his shoulders down to his wrists.

J6 has metal gauntlets on his arms, which cover from his elbow to his wrist, with individual parts of the gauntlet down each finger to allow for free movement. The gauntlets are the same silver-grey colour as his helmet, except for the under gloves, which are black.

J6 wears a red cowboy bandana around his neck, with a brownish-red leather belt over the left shoulder, all the way down to the front and back of the torso, leading down to the waist, where it joins with a gun belt of the same colour.

The gun belt is in the shape of an 'X' that has several heavily modified .45-caliber cartridges along the belt, with two revolver gun holsters on either side, just below J6's waist. These holsters are the same colour as the gun belt. The straps for each holster wrap around J6's thighs.

J6 wears black trousers with an attached black trouser suspender going from his front, over his shoulders, and running down his back, where they join his trousers.

J6 also wears a pair of black trainers.

Weapon(s) of Choice/ Loadout:

  • J6's Handguns - Two handguns in the appearance of a Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, which fire an extremely powerful bullet that can penetrate most armour or cover. The ammunition is .45 calibre cartridges that have been heavily modified through scientific means.

  • J6's Shotgun - A rifle-shotgun hybrid gun that can fire a heavily modified .303 cartridge and a heavily modified 12-gauge shotgun cartridge. The rifle-shotgun hybrid also has two other special abilities. It can fire a large green laser beam that can cut through most materials. Its second ability can fire a continuous stream of green electrical energy.

  • J6's Sword - A Sabre-like sword for close-quarters combat. It can cut through most materials.

  • J6's Grenade - A handheld grenade that when thrown into the air and shot, releases a powerful shockwave of green energy blasting it's targets.

J6 arrived in the Helldivers universe on the 13th of March, 2184 aboard his spaceship the Hyperium after escaping "The Reset" which was a universal event initiated in the year 3010 in the then universe J6 was currently in.

This "reset", which affected the Planet Loreon, the capital planet of the Solaris system where the city of Soluna was based.

It was speculated to be of great importance since the "reset" affected the planet for over 5,000 years.

Unusually, other planets within the Solaris system were mostly unaffected.

After managing to escape the reset by jumping to another universe, J6 would find himself in a new one, a universe that was gripped in galactic war.


𝙰 π™½π™΄πš† π™Άπ™°π™»π™°πš‡πšˆ

Seeing a new universe that was ripe for things for him to "collect", J6 began to move to secure himself within this galaxy so they he may operate as freely as he possibly could, and without interruption from too many prying eyes.

To enable him to "fit in", J6 came across a disabled Class 6 Series Crewed Interplanetary Combat Vessel, colloquially known as a "Super Destroyer" to this universes inhabitants.

Using an array of "collected" technologies from the many universes that he had once visited, J6 retrofitted this Super Destroyer back to working in order, along with some minor alterations.

One of which was outfitting the ship with many, highly advanced holographic projection systems to give the effect that the ship contained a living operational crew, to better stave off any unwelcoming suspicion, as well as altering the ships name registry to that of "Wings of Liberty".

Once J6 was secure in the knowledge that his first venture was a success by testing his newly acquired ship on a rather bold action by flying it past a S.E.A.F. flotilla and it not eliciting a hostile response, J6 was happy to push things a little further.

First was to enter his own credentials into the S.E.A.F.'s data base so that he could pass himself off as a Helldiver, (one of the main military branches of the Super Earth Armed Forces, the Helldivers Corp).

J6 tested his new found position by participating in several special military operations. When this went off without a hitch, J6 officially started to take on "bounties", as he called it.

Though for all intents and purposes he was a "Helldiver" on paper, and to other Helldivers, he was too, but they never found out who he really was.


πšƒπ™·π™΄ πšƒπ™΄πšπ™Όπ™Έπ™½π™Έπ™³ πšƒπ™·πšπ™΄π™°πšƒ - π™Ύπ™Ώπ™΄πšπ™°πšƒπ™Έπ™Ύπ™½ πš…π™°π™»π™»π™Έπ™°π™½πšƒ π™΄π™½π™²π™»π™Ύπš‚πš„πšπ™΄

One of the many involvements in this new universe by J6 would see him being present during "Operation Valliant Enclosure" that began in February 2184 after having been delayed for weeks due to "Operation Veld Containment", one of the many"Special Military Operations" that saw J6 go from "Angel's Venture", "Heeth", and then finally to "Tien Kwan".

In principle, Operation Valliant Enclosure revolved around establishing defences against the encroaching Terminids.

From what J6 had gathered, (after hacking into the S.E.A.F.'s database), the Terminid Horde, Swarm, or the "Fascist Totalitarian" Bug's as the Federation of Super Earth called them, which J6 chuckled at upon learning this, are one race of beings that the Federation is at war with.

J6 began to understand more and more the zealotry nature of the Federation when the Terminids had been identified as "Fascist", by the Federation despite the individual Terminid clearly being incapable of comprehending the ideology, and how they engage in the aforementioned "Fascism" with their violent attacks against the citizenry of Super Earth and with their "un-Democratic" power structure.

It was at this point that J6 had become aware of the biological weapon known as "Termicide" and the "Terminid Control System" (TCS), which were a network of Termicide dispensing towers designed to exterminate the Terminid presence on key selected planets that when activated would protect them against future infestations.

The first Terminid Control System to be activated was on Fenrir III, then Turing, Meridia, and then on March the 15th the final activation of the TCS tower on Erata Prime had been completed, with Operation Valiant Enclosure being declared a success on March 16th 2184.

The Federation declared Operation Valiant Enclosure a resounding success and that it was a testament to the strategic and combative prowess of the Helldivers.

For J6, he took the time during the operation to study the Termicide, and the means in which it was dispersed via the dispensing towers.


π™°πš„πšƒπ™Ύπ™Όπ™°πšƒπ™Ύπ™½ 𝙼𝙴𝙽𝙰𝙲𝙴 - π™Ύπ™Ώπ™΄πšπ™°πšƒπ™Έπ™Ύπ™½ πš‚πš†π™Έπ™΅πšƒ π™³π™Έπš‚π™°πš‚πš‚π™΄π™Όπ™±π™»πšˆ

J6 had became aware (through classified Super Earth communications which his recently acquired ship was able to receive) that interrogated Automaton's had leaked a plan called "The Reclamation".

It was also discovered that a long-range communications array on Troost had been identified, and that it was sending signals deep into space.

In response, Super Earth High Command called for it's immediate destruction, and authorized "Operation Swift Disassembly" on March 26th 2184. The operations objective was to destroy the Automaton Legion at all costs.

With the opportunity to study and potentially "collect" technology belonging to the Automaton Legion, (another faction that the Federation of Super Earth viewed as hostile, and with the same zealousness as they viewed the Terminids), J6 knew this was an opportunity that he could not pass up on, and so, in the guise of being a "Helldiver", J6 made his was to the Trigon Sector where the Helldiver Corps fleet had begun to gather.

After the Helldiver Corps had blitzed their way through the Trigon Sector, blueprints for an Automaton's "Aerial Gunship" were found, (which J6 promptly "collected" for his own use).

These blueprints had made their way to Tibit, where the craft was being produced, and the loss of Tibit would cripple the Legion's ability to fight.

The plan from what J6 had deduced was that Helldiver forces would have to go through the planet of Ubanea to get to Tibit, which was simple enough, however, the Automatons had already attacked Draupnir and were threatening to cut off forces liberating Ubanea.

In response, a plan was created, and was dubbed the "Ubanea Gambit". The gambit was to liberate Ubanea, whilst also leaving a token force to defend Draupnir.

Knowing this was doomed to fail as J6 had already hacked into the Automaton's BattleNet, and had been reading Automaton deployments for some time up until this point, he knew the attacking force that was directed at Draupnir would overwhelm Helldiver forces unless it was matched by an equal force.

So instead, J6 spent his time on Draupnir behind Automaton lines, scouring for things to "collect" so that he could learn more about the Automaton technology without being in the thick of battle on the frontlines.

When the Ubanea Gambit ultimately failed, J6 was in a better position than most other Helldivers when the blitz of Draupnir began, and so, J6 would continue to take on "bounties" on Draupnir and Ubanea before the final confrontation on Tibit, which would not go as planned.

It had come to no surprise to J6 that after the failure of the Ubanea Gambit, the Helldiver Corp would not have enough time to take Tibit.

J6 would indeed be correct in this assessment when Super Earth High Command had decreed that the deadline had indeed been missed, and so the operation was deemed a failure and was put on hold until further notice.


πšƒπ™·π™΄ π™»π™Έπ™±π™΄πšπ™°πšƒπ™Έπ™Ύπ™½ 𝙾𝙡 π™Όπ™°π™»π™΄πš…π™΄π™»π™Ύπ™½ π™²πšπ™΄π™΄π™Ί

J6 took the lull in "bounty contracts" to study the many destroyed Automatons that fell by his gauntleted hands in the aims of reverse engineering some Automaton technology.

This would soon be interrupted when Super Earth High Command issued a new order on April 1st 2184 to liberate the planet Malevelon Creek.

The Automaton Legion wanted to capture and hold Malevelon Creek for its rich rhodium deposits, and from what J6 had discovered, (after hacking into the S.E.A.F.'s central network), since the the beginning of the Second Galactic War, the Severin Sector was already under Automaton control, and at that time, the Creek was one of the only Automaton-controlled planets the Helldivers could operate on.

Due to this, Malevelon Creek had seen non-stop fighting with the Automaton Legion for fifty-four straight days, meaning this was a planet that held great meaning to the S.E.A.F.'s Helldiver Corps.

After concealing himself amongst the Helldivers once more, J6 made landfall.

There would be little time however that J6 could use to "collect" more of the Automatons technology because within five hours of the order being issued, Malevelon Creek would see itself be liberated on April 1st, 2184, (though all was not lost, as J6 would come into possession of a cape that he had "collected" from a deceased Helldiver that had participated in the planets liberation).

After its liberation from the Automatons on April 3rd 2184, Malevelon Creek Memorial Day was officially established as an annual event celebrating the establishment of peace on the devastated world.


π™Ύπ™Ώπ™΄πšπ™°πšƒπ™Έπ™Ύπ™½ πš‚πš†π™Έπ™΅πšƒ π™³π™Έπš‚π™°πš‚πš‚π™΄π™Όπ™±π™»πšˆ - πšƒπ™·π™΄ 𝙡𝙸𝙽𝙰𝙻 π™Ώπš„πš‚π™·

After the Helldiver Corp had managed to liberate Malevelon Creek, J6 became aware that Super Earth High Command was about to restart the offensive that was Operation Swift Disassembly against the Automatons.

Being aware of this plan, J6 began to infiltrate Automaton held territory to see what he could find, whether that be schematics, intelligence or new technology.

J6 discovered that the Automatons, having already anticipated this renewed offensive, had begun to put the entirety of their remaining resources into launching a large scale counterattack against the S.E.A.F armada that was amassing near their borders.

This would prove to be the Automatons downfall as their counterattack would ultimately fail, leaving the S.E.A.F. to launch their offensive without further resistance.

J6 would go on to participate in the defence of Ubanea and Draupnir, an action that he did not regret as he was able to salvage some valuable data and materials from the Automatons new prototypeFactory Striders.

By April 7th, 2184, the last planets to be held by the Automaton Legion, Tibit, Durgen and Maia had fallen, and the Automaton forces that once threatened the Federation of Super Earth had effectively been wiped out.


π™°πš„πšƒπ™Ύπ™Όπ™°πšƒπ™Ύπ™½πš‚ πšπ™΄πšƒπš„πšπ™½ - πšƒπ™·π™΄ πšπ™΄π™²π™»π™°π™Όπ™°πšƒπ™Έπ™Ύπ™½

After the Automaton Legion had been eliminated from the known galaxy in Operation Swift Disassembly, J6 took this moment to fashion new equipment, utilities and upgrades to his ship the Hyperium, as well as maybe tinkering here and there with his retrofitted Super Destroyer.

A different type of energy shielding, energy based weapons, titbits that J6 himself would find useful.

The peace however that had been brought by the destruction of the Automaton Legion would come to an abrupt end, for on April 9th 2184, just two days after the successful conclusion of Operation Swift Disassembly, a massive Automaton invasion force invaded the Valdis, Lacaille and Hydra Sectors.

The Automaton invasion force completely overwhelmed all S.E.A.F. forces in these regions, resulting in the entire Valdis, and a part of the Lacaille Sector to be immediately captured by the encroaching Automaton fleet.

It had become clear that the Automatons that were exterminated in Operation Swift Disassembly were merely a vanguard force.

J6 was in the Andromeda Sector, passing Matar Bay when the invasion began.

Taking advantage of the S.E.A.F.'s disarray, J6 began to "collect" sensitive data packets from the territory that were being sized by the Automaton Legion.

With the loss of many worlds, Super Earth High Command ordered the establishment of the Menkent Line as a means to stabilize the front.

The planets of Menkent and Lesath were successfully taken back, and rudimentary orbital defences had been established along the line by S.E.A.F. and civilian laborers.

Additionally, an S.E.A.F. Forward Command Base on Vernen Wells was created, providing fresh recruits and supplies to the front.

After completing what he set out to do, J6 made course for the hastily established Menkent Line.


π™²π™Ύπ™»π™»π™°π™Ώπš‚π™΄ 𝙾𝙡 πšƒπ™·π™΄ π™Όπ™΄π™½π™Ίπ™΄π™½πšƒ 𝙻𝙸𝙽𝙴

With the establishment of the Menkent Line, the Automaton fleet had been forced to divert their plans.

Rather than advancing through the newly established Menkent Line, the Automatons would attempt to flank it via the planet of Marfark. In order to bolster their new advance, the full deployment of the finalized Automaton Factory Striders began.

Despite this, the Helldiver Corp were successful in their defensive operations against this new Legion offensive.

Seeing that the Western front had stabilized, J6 took a break from the constant fighting for a moment to collect his bearings and take stock of the new additions to his inventory of Automaton technology that he had precured whilst taking on contracts on the front line.

For while the Reclamation was a nightmare for the Super Earth Federation, it was Christmas in a manner of speaking for J6.

Behind the scenes, the rapid mobilization of troops had exhausted the Federations reserves of Element-710, as such, to fuel a counteroffensive the Helldiver Corp were ordered to manually produce Terminid corpses for conversion into more E-710.

In mere hours this goal was achieved as two billion Terminid's were killed. This surplus of fuel enabled the transport of weapons, equipment, and personnel to the Western front.

During this period, J6 continued to engage in operations against Automaton forces with the goal of collecting enough pieces of the Automaton's Factory Strider that he could reverse engineer it.

Shortly after, both the Terminid Swarm and Automaton Legion launched a large scale offensive. The Helldiver Corp was tasked with defending the Western and Eastern fronts simultaneously.

The S.E.A.F. suffered heavy loses on the Automaton front as the entirety of the Andromeda Sector fell, allowing Automaton forces to begin offensive operations into the Ymir and Trigon sectors.

The Menkent Line immediately collapsed against the first attack since it was established. Meanwhile, the Terminid front held with minimal losses.

J6 remained on Menkent behind Automaton lines up until the Automaton invasion of Vernen Wells, where J6 worked on information retrieved from Database One, the codename of a massive Automaton Data Centre that was located on the planet of Wasat.

After unlocking the data using an encryption key that held information regarding Vessel 00, J6 discovered Vessel 00 was a spaceship that departed from Cyberstan in 2180, approximately four years prior to the initial Automaton attack.

The cargo and destination of that voyage is unknown, but it referred to as the final one the ship made. It is also referred to as the seed or origin of the Automatons. This confirmed to J6 that the Automatons did originate from Cyberstan, linking the two factions together.

Despite the collapse of the Western front, the Super Earth High Command considered the operation a success.

The results of the Automatons Reclamation proved disastrous for the Federation, as the loss of territory, and the complete blindside to the attack proved that the Automatons would not be easily defeated.

Due to the loss of Cyberstan, plans had to be made in order to liberate it again and prevent another Cyborg uprising.

While the initial defences on Marfark, Menkent and Lesath were successful, later incursions by the Automatons broke through these defences, expanding their control even further.

At the height of their expansion, the Automatons were able to control nearly a quarter of the known Galaxy.
