Intent: After combating upon the planet of Mon Calamari against the Jedi Padawan known as Sarge Potteiger, Arvis has decided that the padawan's equipment and armour could come in handy in close quarter situations.

Manufacturer: The Sith Empire.
Model: Arvis's Sith Armour.
Affiliation: Arvis Syphex ((Sith Empire))

Thigh + Leg

Classification: Multipurpose.
Weight: 4kg.
Quality: Class 7.
Other Feature(s): Sheathe for a small dagger. Thicker layers of titanium to prevent lightsabers cutting through the thigh. As well as to prevent random blaster bolts from incapacitating him.

Retractable Blades


Classification: Retractable Blades.
Size: One-Handed
Length: 30 Centimeters Each.
Weight: 2.5kg Each.
Other Features: Able to combat against lightsabers and vibroblades with quick and glancing strikes. The point of the retractable blades is to stop close quarters combatants. ((I.E: Brawlers, bladesman.)) If all of the weapons were lost, destroyed or otherwise the retractable blades would be the last resort weapons.



Description: The strengths behind the armour are to protect him from glancing lightsaber, blaster and other melee and ranged weapon contacts. The major weakness behind the armour is that it would be completely useless if struck at with a direct hit. Though, it would take a little bit of time to be harmed considerably by a lightsaber.

The reasoning behind the armour is after Arvis came into close quarters with the jedi padawan, Sarge Potteiger, he realized how ill-equipped he was for battle compared to his opponent at the time, who happened to be Sarge. After leaving the battle with many cuts, bruises and a severe wound to his thigh, he had begun almost immediately to have construction on his armour set begin.

If caught in close quarters combat, the armour would function in a way to protect it's user from glancing strikes to his body. If weapons were lost, and the user had exhausted themselves in the Force, the armour is capable of providing the user a weapon. The retractable claws that came out of the gauntlets knuckles were quite useful as they extended up to a meter and a half and could shorten or elongate itself in that range.

It is limited in the fact that it most probably would fail if underneath a hail of blaster fire, and a direct hit from a lightsaber. ((I.E: A lunge that struck true.))
 
@[member="Arvis Syphex"] I'm liking this. A few things.

Durasteel is not very good against lightsabres, even glancing strikes.
Furthermore, 3 inches of durasteel is tank level armour. Normal personal armour is not thick, usually only a few millimetres thick because anything else is just weight and encumbrance.

So, what I’d like to see is:
  • What are the stats on the body armour - chest, abdomen and upper leg armour especially?
  • Lower the protection from 8 to 7 to reflect it is just normal armour without special things.
  • Give more detail on how the blades work. 1.5 metres is far too long, almost as tall as a man.
  • Give more details on the additional features.

You shouldn’t need a dev thread for this so long as you just use durasteel and this doesn’t get too special!

It is. Reduce the armour down to a half inch and up the weight by 1kg for each piece.

Also make note that titanium is, as you have mentioned, not good at absorbing head on strikes. It's better at flexing than steel but more brittle.

Do that and it will be approved.

After discussion with some RPJs we've decided the blades should be reduced to 30cm since there would be no room for something that long to retract otherwise.

So just change that (and make sure it's changed under the gauntlets too) and then this will be finally ready. Good job.
