​

• Ash Cloak Effect: Armor is coated in a fine alchemically-treated volcanic ash that clings to the plates and reacts to energy strikes. When struck, the coating bursts in a cloud of choking, blinding dust, creating a temporary smoke-shroud that disorients opponents at close range.
• Integrated cybernetic harness allows the armor to augment the user's strength slightly, compensating for its weight.
• Phrik/Beskar-reinforced gauntlets and pauldrons designed for parrying melee strikes and redirecting lightsabers.
• Environmental sealing for limited survival on toxic or ash-choked worlds like Malachor.

​

• Ash Cloak: Reactive ash coating creates instant concealment on impact, giving Dravik an edge in chaotic melee.
• Durability: Heavy plating offers high protection against blasters and kinetic strikes, reinforced at critical melee points.
• Intimidating Presence: Brutal, jagged warplate forged from Sith and Mandalorian pieces amplifies the intimidation factor of the user.

​

• EMP Vulnerability: Reliant on cybernetic harness systems that can be disrupted by Ion/EMP attacks.
• Weight & Bulk: Heavy design limits mobility and agility, favoring brute force over finesse.
• Ash Cloak Double-Edged: The ash shroud can also impair allies and obscure the users own vision if used recklessly.
• Uneven Lightsaber Resistance: Only reinforced in certain places, leaving gaps vulnerable to precision strikes.

"The ash is my ally. It blinds cowards, chokes the weak, and reminds all who face me that Malachor itself fights at my side." – Lord Kaelen Dravik

Lord Kaelen Dravik's warplate is less a crafted masterpiece and more a monument to survival and brutality. Forged from scavenged Sith warplate, battered Mandalorian cuirasses, and durasteel plating pulled from Malachor's wreckage, it has been reforged countless times, bearing jagged seams and crude reforging marks. To outsiders, it looks more like a walking fortress than a suit of armor.

What makes the armor unique is its Ash Cloak: every plate is treated with alchemically scorched volcanic ash drawn from Malachor itself. When struck with energy or kinetic force, the coating bursts outward in a choking, blinding cloud. This creates instant concealment in duels and chaotic melees, allowing Dravik to overwhelm enemies in confusion while his sheer durability protects him from return strikes. The effect is as terrifying as it is practical, giving the impression that he fights as the living embodiment of Malachor's storms.

Though brutally effective, the armor has clear drawbacks. It is heavy, cumbersome, and leaves him vulnerable to precise lightsaber users or Ion weapons. Still, in his hands, it is less about defense and more about dominance—an extension of his philosophy that Malachor belongs to the strongest, forged in ash and sustained by blood.
