Future Armor

[H3xle]

So, being completely new to this entire forum, I do not understand how the Factory stuff really works. I have an image for armor that I would like Dair to utilize and I have a line on a shield. (I want him to be an armored, shield bearing Jedi who literally and figuratively stands between evil and everyone else.)

The images for the armor follow...what do people think of the idea?

Pretty. Not sure how practical however considering it would be heavy and restrict movement. You would need it to be lightsaber resistant metal as well and OMG she's on fire! Her bracer is on FIRE!!!

Edit: haha Uri btw. (Hi.)

[member="Dair Cotarin"], Lugus has some solid points to think about, but I could see this working. After all, the Jensaarai use armor suits that are fairly encompassing.

I can help you develop this idea for submission and guide you through the process, if you would like.

Some things to think about:

What are you looking to protect yourself against? Lightsabers, blasters, sith magic, etc?

Related to that, have you thought about what it will be made of? Some materials (typically more powerful materials) require special threads to obtain them, especially materials resistant to lightsabers.

That suit does look pretty heavy. To that end, is your character going to be really buff and used to wearing it everywhere he goes? does it also incorporate exoskeleton servo-motors (making it a power suit) that allows the user to easily run around in it without worrying about stamina issues? Is the suit for some reason really lightweight, despite its looks?

Does it have any special features, like a jetpack, a HUD, cable-launcher, active camouflage, etc?

Id like to point out that we now have a Phrik (Alderaan) and cortosis (Bel'demnic) planet within our sphere of influence....

For any material that is lightsaber resistant (Such as Phrik and Cortosis) you will be required to submit a dev thread with the requirements for that particular material (See the banned/restricted list in the Factory forum.).

Any armor can be made, but the dev thread requirements will get higher and higher the stronger you make it.

Or just wear clothing and carry a lightsaber.

You kids and your fancy outfits.

You literally wear armor...

 

[Marcello Matteo]

I literally have never put armor on my skin.

It's cloth and foam padding with an interwoven of tubes so that they can pump cold water through it to cool him down after a scene. Didn't you watch the behing the scenes for the Avengers or any of the Thors?

 

[Varus Shatterstar]

I did indeed, but if that's the logic we're going bye then no one in this thread exists.

Hmmm, thank you all for giving me stuff to think about.

Quite shallowly, I've been holding a spark for using the Templar's armor from HG:L since I first saw the game and I figured that this would be a good excuse.

I shall put some more thought into it along these lines. Thank you all for being awesome and constructive!!

On second thought, I think if I want an armored character, I'll make a trooper of some sort.

Thank you all for the advice!
