Description: Having lived for a good long while, Knell has had his armour destroyed and rebuilt a few times. When a recent bounty took a turn for the explosive he ended up having to craft a new set from whatever nearby materials he could salvage. There are some bits of droid casing in there, some bits of starship hull, even some bits of other people's armour. After much careful welding, bolting and applied adhesive he produced this 'masterpiece', incidentally with a very trendy serrated, deathly brutish look. It is quite rough around the edges in a literal sense, and little more than a heavy metal shell. The thick plates ought to stand up to a lot of kinetic pummelling and a bit of blaster fire, but won't handle lightsabers well and might start falling apart at the seams with enough punishment. Maintaining it, however, is as simple as slapping scrap on and securing it. The armour's hard plating and jagged pointy bits are good for smashing things, though it's not particularly nimble in any sense of the term. Perfectly functional as far as Knell is concerned.
