Personality
As a combat AI, Hustler One/Nineball demonstrates little in the way of a personality, simply following its orders without question and with brutal efficiency.

Skills and Abilities
Manueverability- Armored Cores are small, sprightly mecha with many thrusters for erratic movements. Nineball takes full advantage of this by moving in a dizzying pattern while attacking, making it difficult for its foes to predict its location

Weapons- Most Armored Cores are equipped with four weapons. For Nineball, they are as follows:


 * Laser Rifle- A high-powered directed-energy weapon with a rapid fire rate. Carried by the right arm.


 * Laser Blade- A close-combat weapon that projects a purple blade of energy. Mounted on the left arm.


 * Missile Pod- A launcher containing several radar-guided missiles. Mounted over the right shoulder.
 * Grenade Launcher- A cannon that fires large explosive rounds. Mounted over the left shoulder.
