Jaxton Ravos
Mindwalker of the Outer Rim
Intent: To Create a set of training armor for Jaxton
Development Thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/31310-you-die-or-i-do-invite-only/ - a result of a friend of Jaxton's being killed very publicly in this thread, but not purchased or constructed here. Additionally threads can be provided if necessary.
Manufacturer: Hole-in-the-wall Kyrikal Craftsman
Model: Weighted Vests
Affiliation: Jaxton Ravos
Modularity: Can be painted to look different colors, but never comes out very well.
Production: Semi-Unique(Jax has a couple spare so he can one wash and wear another)
Material: Feroxanium Dust mixed into a fiber mesh.
Description:
While Jaxton Ravos was not a big holonet watcher the death of Darron Wraith was something he knew immediately, feeling the loss of a friend in the Force only to learn of it's public nature later. While Jaxton wasn't afraid of any Sith, or death itself, the thought that someone was coming after him when he was a father, when he had the Levantine Sanctum to protect, was terrifying. Unlike the villains of Benduday morning holovid cartoons a true Sith wasn't the type of person who'd be above using children or decimating planets to get a small group of people, leaving those Jaxton cared about in the crossfire. Thus, Jaxton began a new form of training to help himself become a stronger man, a stronger Jedi. Unlike many other Jedi Masters however, he didn't decide to do this by learning a myriad of powers off-screen, but instead talked to men on Kyrikal and asked them to make him a set of very particular weighted suits out of Feroxanium, a metal with the density of Neuranium but without it's protective benefits.
Though the Mon Calamari Haberdashers were befuddled by his specific request, they carried it out, making a suit for him that evenly distributed an enormous weight across nearly his entire bod, save for hands, feet, neck and head. At a whopping 225 kg, roughly 45 kg per limb/torso, it is a massive endeavor simply to put the suit on, let alone move around, fight, or deflect blaster bolts. With Jaxton being an extremely athletic man, and one that naturally increased his strength and speed with the Force however he has deemed this necessary in order to pass a plateau, specifically the plateau that he can only move his muscles so fast without hurting them while training. By operating at higher masses and lower speeds while exerting the same power, even more power as he becomes and more connected to the Force, he hopes to exceed that plateau, giving him an edge in a fight where if he doesn't give everything it might him everyone.
The Suit, despite it's ungodly weight, is very very thin, not hindering movement in a pure mechanical sense but only through weight. It offers protection against scanners, radiation, normal cloth benefits against melee damage, and actually enhances the pain and damage the wearer will take when getting hit by a blaster bolt or a lightsaber(if a lightsaber could actually cut through a man faster). It is intended to make Jaxton constantly rely on and use the Force in a meditative sense that is far more natural for the physical minded athlete that Jaxton is. While it does make him much harder to Force Push due to simple weight addition, it is not intended for serious combat and will be a significant hindrance in such an environment.
Classification: Training
Weight: 225 kg
Quality:
Bludgeon/Slicing: 1
