SPECIAL FEATURES
- Blaster/Laser weapon immunity (Magnus Metal)
- Lightsaber Resistant
- High Kinetic resistances.
- Unbreakable Wall: Using a metal that has only been known to be used in a hand full of applications. Magnus Metal is extremely resilient to Lightsabers, Kinetic based weaponry, and have the unique ability to be immune to blaster fire. The metal is considered to have superior properties to Beskar albeit, barely.
- Belts mean I am Cool: The Armor has been updated to the times to have HUD systems, and additions to the armor that fit and can be used by the wearer. Providing various utilities at their disposal. While it is not the top of the line, nor extensive, It is much better than having none at all.
- Ticklish Armor: Utilizing plate armor, the entire suit has literal chinks in the armor where lightsabers, blaster bolts, slugs or melee weapons can slip through. While the plate armor is superior to beskar, the rest of the armor is not. Under the arms, back of the knees, joints of the ankles, wrists, and even the neck are all "exposed" from the plate armor.
- Elemental Bane: While the armor does have various layers specifically meant to keep the wearer from overheating within the armor, or to regulate the suits temperature, it cannot resist the more extreme spectrum of elements. Heat, cold, and acids are all very effective against this armor.
- Sticks and Stones: Plate armor is perfect against ranged, and even most melee based weaponry. However, the armor does not completely protect against the physical kinetic impact of weapons. While Blaster fire does no damage to the armor, the actual impact of the bolt hitting the armor can still be felt. Anything ranging from a well placed punch, or being crushed under weight can still harm and kill the wearer.
- Touched: As with a couple of the items that have been installed to the armor, Select items have been imbued with the force to provide more utility to the wearer. However, should these select items enter a Force Nullification field, they will cease to work.
- Achilles: The armor is impervious to Laser based weaponry, up to snuff to defend against Lightsabers, and other conventional weaponry. However, the true bane of this armor, is that it cannot resist everything. Even if the armor were to be hit with a Lightsaber, it can still be destroyed and broken by a Lightsaber given enough time, damage, or a lack of care for the armor. Large kinetic impacts can still crack the armor, damage it, destroy it. Its not completely invincible. Nothing ever is. Moreso, in order to destroy the armor, you need to use non-conventional weaponry, or tactics that could damage the wearer directly.
- Sink or... sink: This armor is heavy on its own right. This is without any extras, no weapons, ammo, people, tools. Everything else is just adding more weight, and will only cause it to become more cumbersome. Weighing in just a tad above the average weight for Mandalorian Armors, It can be worn, but swimming, sprinting, going long distances, or even just wearing it for an extended amount of time can be very tiresome. One viable way to exploit this, is to hold your ground, and to let the wearer tire themselves out before making the final blow.
Xander Carrick. Former Imperial Knight turned Jedi Master. Becoming a valued member within the Silver Jedi Order, and has since retired. A once powerful set of armor that he had received from a dear friend, has been passed down to his son. The Retired Jedi has since gone home and sees no need to use it, when instead, would see that this armor bring his son back home to him.
However, over the years, Xander has kept this armor hidden from the young boy. Letting him see the armor only once. The day that Zeph had denounced his ties with the Silver Jedi, joining the Mandalorian Crusaders, and started his path to becoming a Wanderer. In these years, Zephyr has had to survive on his own. Learning from mistakes and misfortunes the hard way around. However, receiving a message from his father, made the man return home. Voss. Upon seeing the planet taken over by the Sith, and ravaged by war, Zeph, sought a return to the Jedi. Seeking to atone for his sins, and to not bring his homeworld back, but sought to only do what he believed was right.
Finding his father, Xander gifted him the armor. Simply stating thus,
"Stand with others, or alone. With this, I will always be by your side."
Taking it, Zephyr made various modifications to the armor that would better suit his needs, as well as updating the systems to a more modern state. While not the top of the line, or the best armor out there in terms of utility, it still offers a wide arsenal, as well as protection to boot.
This armor is no longer Xander's, but Zephyr. The proclaimed Stormbird.

Manufacturer: Carrison Tech and Fashion, Self made.
Model: Cabur be Resa Beskar'gam - Mando'a Translation "The Guardian of Light Iron Skin"
Affiliation: Xander Carrick
Modularity: Minor
Production: Unique
Material:
Weight: 25kg
Quality: 9
Additional Items:
Created from the old armor of a friend of Xanders who had lost his way, The Magnus metal is impervious to blaster fire, and has a very high resistance to lightsabers. Even more so because of the tensile strength of the armor plating, it can stop a slugthrower, however, on the thinner portions of the armor, such as the helm and forearms, it can bend it. Needing repaired as soon as possible.
The armor design allows for alot of movement in the arms to use lightsabers, and a hammer to the highest proficiency. Meaning that Xander can literally get into the thick of battle, and dish out as many hits as he can receive them. In a term. "Hitting like a hammer, while taking hits like an Anvil." With the many additions to the armor, about the only modularity without actually scrapping the armor would be the coloration changes.
The coloration is very important to a mandalorian. Even more so with a Jedi master. Jedi take symbolic values from alot of things. So why not their armor as well? With the majority of the colors being black, it symbolizes Justice. Grey comes in for the Love of a Lost one, Red of honoring a parent, and blue most of all for reliability. This makes the armor very special to Xander. Wanting to make this in memory of this father Zayne Carrick that lived during the time of the Mandalorian Wars. As well as symbolize his own legacy that will live on after Xander should perish.
