Strengths:
+ Lightsabers begone: Between the combination of VT-Shark Skin and the Duramesh/Phrik bodysuit the armor is more than capable of taking strikes from a lightsaber for a limited amount of time before a lightsaber completely breaks through.
+ Blaster/Plasma rounds: Much like lightsabers the VT-Shark skin disperses them across the armor on impact nullifying some of their effectiveness.
+ Slugthrower/Projectile Weapons: While the VT-Shark Skin isn’t capable of handling much kinetic force the Duramesh/Phrik bodyglove beneath it is making it capable of dispersing the force and keeping the round from penetrating.
+ Crushgaunts: Increasing the Hand-arm strength of Ador the Crushgaunts are a viable addition to the armor, along with the protection they’d grant the Jedi.
Weaknesses:
- Physical Trauma: While the bodysuit Ador wears beneath the armor may keep a physical round or blade from penetrating it doesn’t stop the kinetic force from dealing trauma to his body meaning more powerful hits and such can still leave the Jedi more than bruised and even cause internal bleeding.
- Cryoweaponry: VT-Sharkskin nor the body suit are made for dealing with Cold weather or cryo weaponry the latter even shattering and breaking the VT-sharkskin on impact and freezing Ador within the armored robes.
- Acid: With very few options to retreat to for protection against acid, the armored robes are more than susceptible to it.
- Electricity: Without a way to contain electricity and how the upper layer and bodysuit would both conduct it Ador is relatively defenseless against weapons that use electricity or Sith using Force Lightning.
- Joints: The Joints are far less protected than the rest of the body making them prime spots for one to attack to more easily pierce the Jedi’s Robes/Armor
Prolonged contact: Prolonged contact with a lightsaber or with extreme heat can easily lead to the Ador being cooked within the armor/robes.
DESCRIPTION
To be a Jedi means many things, but one of the constants was how many in the current age entered the battlefield and put their lives on the line. Ador while but a padawan is one who believes in doing the same, being as stubborn as a Bantha and constantly throwing himself headfirst into situations he shouldn’t be in. After an encounter with the Mandalorian warrior Keira Priest and dealing with the scolding that followed the young Corellian decided to get something to protect himself.
Knowing he wouldn’t be able to get by with just common robes under the watch of Keira and predicting the disapproval from Morteg if he showed up in heavy armor Ador went for a combination of the two. This all culminated in the armored robes. The robes themselves and the exterior were made using the VT-shark skin a material known for dispersing heat across the armor, being able to fend off lightsabers and even blasterbolts though they didn’t fair too well against kinetic attacks. To ensure he didn’t end up with a bullet embedded in his body Ador had a custom sealed bodysuit made utilizing Duramesh and weaving in bits of phrik weave to make it all the more sturdy and reinforce it against kinetic strikes. Of course, while it did mitigate the impact and keep a round from penetrating if hit enough times in one place or with an overwhelming amount of force the trauma still travels through. This can leave Ador with damaged organs, bruises, and other wounds even while wearing the armored robes. Incorporating a few plates of Reinforced Duraplast, mainly one over his chest, a pauldron, and a backplate it provides a layer of protection to his vitals.
To be prepared for different battlefields Ador ensured the body glove was fully sealed and a helmet was added to the armor, but unlike other armors where he’d have to physically attach the helmet and put it on he utilized nanites. Stored at the neckline of the bodyglove the nanites come out and move to encapsulate Ador’s head in a helmet that can filter the air he breathes ensuring he’s not breathing harmful toxins, possesses an air supply in case he’s in an atmosphere where he requires it such as the vacuum of space, and many other features.
Seeing the way in which Keira Priest utilized her armor and all the tools that came equipped with it Ador went down a similar path including bits of technology within the armored robes but nowhere near the Mandalorians. The biggest and most important features being the Valkyrie system that serves as a portable medkit in a way and treating the Jedi whenever he suffers physical trauma and occasionally shooting him with stims when necessary. The second being the shield system that when deployed projects a hemispherical shield in the direction of the attack to protect the Jedi. The more minor technological improvements being the inclusion of a HUD system provided by Locke and Key, and repulsors in the boots that can aid the Jedi in running faster or further distances without being as winded due to easing the workload, jumping higher, or even activating to propel him in a direction. Most armors in current times use the vambraces and gloves of armor to store numerous weapons, Ador instead devoting them to more defensive technology such as the chakram shield on his right arm, and the molecularly compressed Phrik vibroshield on his left that can extend out into a full-on shield its vibrogenerators also making it adequate for cutting into others if caught off guard. The final addition was crushgaunts gifted to him by Keira Priest that the Jedi now wears more as a way of showing thanks than actually using the gloves but the increase in strength they provide allows him to lift vastly more weight, bend, break and rend other materials and empowers his blows with his lightsaber.
