Strengths:

+ Blaster Resistance: Ultrachrome is known for its ability to reflect/deflect blaster bolts making the plates of the armor incredibly resistant to them.
+ Slugthrower rounds: Much like blaster bolts Ultrachrome possesses the capability to deflect the rounds.
+ Lightsaber resistance: While not as resistant to lightsabers as other forms of weaponry, the ultrachrome plates of the armor can take repeated hits from a lightsaber before it breaks through.
+ Crushgaunts: Known for increasing a wearers strength the crushgaunts that come equipped with this armor augments Argis’ strength.

Weaknesses:

- Heat: While the armor may be good at deflecting many forms of weaponry it is not so good at dispersing the heat it instead spreading across the armor as a whole making far easier to heat up and burn the person wearing it.
- Sonic weaponry: While the Sonic dampeners may protect Argis’s ears they do not protect the rest of his body from being turned into a bloody pulp by sonic weapons.
- Acid: While capable of fending of fungi, Ultrachrome has no defenses against acid leaving it capable of eating through his armor.
- Cold: Weapons that utilize cryo technology is incredibly effective against this armor as it possesses no way to protect itself from it.
- Emp/Ion: While there are many electronic systems apart of the armor there is no way to protect them is Argis is within the area of an EMP effect or stuck by ion weaponry.
- Prolonged contact: Prolonged contact with a lightsaber or with extreme heat can easily lead to the Ultrachrome plates melting and further injuring if not outright killing the wearer.
- Limited protection: The Ultrachrome only extends to the breastplate of the armor leaving the rest of the armor nowhere near as protected as it could be, the other plates made of duraplast only able to take a glancing blow from a lightsaber.


DESCRIPTION

With the task set before him of fighting the forces of darkness and those that ally themselves with them Argis was forced to create a set of armor to dawn for the trying times to come. While a great combatant Argis took no joy in fighting, but one must know when to set aside their likes and dislikes in the name of a greater goal.

The armor’s creation started with a basic material to craft the plates of the armor from Ultrachrome, a material known for its great resistance to multiple forms of attack but sadly not perfect. The flaws of ultrachrome could easily lead to Argis’ death, such as prolonged contact with a saber or extreme sources of heat that could lead it to radiating across the breastplate cooking him inside or even melting the ultrachrome plate and killing him. Sadly even that material was limited and he could only acquire enough for the breastplate, the rest of the armor had to be made of duraplast and asheran armorweave. In the long run there would be issues but for the here and now the armor would be the best the Jedi Knight could acquire.

Designing the armor based off the original templates that Jedi once used long ago during the days of the Old Republic, Argis was slightly annoyed when he entered his workshop one day to find his ally [member="Kreus"] toying around with it and adding extra systems and technology that the Jedi truly had no use for even going so far as to create a helmet for Argis to attach to the armor for times when he must journey into environments he may not have been able to survive the atmosphere. Unwilling to argue about it Argis instead went along with Kreus and implanted some tech that he’d studied over the years, one of which being molecularly compressed shields.

The Echani being known for using a unique technology known to compress an object had caught Argis’s attention and as such he utilized it in the vambraces of the armor, each one containing not weapons but Ultrachrome vibroshields that he could deploy when necessary for extra defense or to block an attack he may not with his lightsaber. Another aspect he thought to add were Crushgaunts similar to what the Mandalorians used. The crushgaunts were one of the main boons of the armor that augmented the Jedi’s strength allowing him to both lift more and crush metal, bones and other objects with ease. There were still many forms of attack that could get through the armor but all Argis could do was deal with them when the time came, for now he is more than happy with the creation and knew it would serve him well on the field of battle.
