- Flexibility: In keeping with the now ancient traditions of the Scions of Skywalker, this Jedi Garment adhere’s to the personal tastes of it’s bearer. Having been apart of the Galactic Alliance military, and recently recovered from his capture at the Battle of Coruscant, Lucius saw fit to make his new garb as light as possible - while retaining some measure of protection, should his preternatural abilities fail him in the line of duty. Thus, without heavy fabric to restrict his movement, the bearer of this garment is able to safely fall back on their acrobatic prowess and connect with the force more readily than those slathered head to toe in heavy plates of armor.
- Flex-Armor: With the addition of a high performance textile, made from weaving Durasteel with reinforced Ceramics, the bracers, greaves, and breastplate of Lucius’ Jedi Robes are able to withstand blaster fire and slugthrower projectiles. While this would be considered a strength in many cases, should any of the aforementioned places be struck by a bullet, it would dampen the kinetic impact but not render the wearer totally immune to the deadly nature of physics.
Description: With Lucius’ preternatural abilities manifesting themselves, beyond the scope of frightful nightmares and distant echoes of the past, the New Jedi Order had saw fit to assist the newly minted Padawan with any materials that he required to create both his Symbol of the Order and the Apparel he would choose to adorn. Adhering to the now ancient practices of the Scions of Skywalker, the Pamarthen had elected to clad himself in an outfit similar to that of his Father - or at least what he could remember of the man that helped bring him into this reality. Keeping true to the oceanic style of his Homeworld, Lucius had woven his outfit together with lightweight and water-resistant material, so that he would be able to rely on his acrobatic skills and the etheric tides of the Force to protect him from the elements and any danger he may face in the coming days. Naturally, if he were to find himself on planets with suboptimal temperatures like Tatooine or Hoth, additional thermal and arid-gear would be required to survive, as the man knew such trivial additions in temperate climates would do nothing more than hinder his agility and his connection to the Force.
Worn over top of a standard environmentally controlled bodyglove, Lucius’ Consular garment consists of a turquoise tabard trimmed with the silver cerlin fabric, and laid over the flex-armor breastplate that covers the entirety of his torso in a similar manner to that of a modern military blast vest. Underneath both the tabard and the flex-armor cuirass lay the satyn tunic and pants, both of which were lashed to his person by the sullustan utility belt. The hems of his trousers slipped into the padded sullustan leather boots and tightly bound to his calves by the flex-armor greaves. As the final and quintessential third layer to this ensemble, lay the dark chestnut brown duster and the lighter brown durasilk cloak. Both would provide the wearer with an above average resistance to torrential downpours, and act as a stylish outfit to blend in on less civilized worlds - should the need for old fashioned stealth be required.
