SPECIAL FEATURES
- Body Morph Feature
The transformation from a human form into the form of a wolf is troublesome. It is troublesome in the sense that to wear armor is a fruitless and a useless attempt. When an individual transforms from their human form into a wolf form, any armor or clothing that they're wearing will, in short, be thrown off and fall off of the individual's body. It is not the fault of the individual, of course, rather it is a fault of the different body types of a wolf and a humanoid. The Lupus Venandi Raiment seeks to try and solve this issue through the combined use of alchemy enhanced materials and the usage of stretchy fabrics. When a humanoid transforms into their more abstract wolf form, flexisteel and armorweave will stretch around the wolf's form. To help with this process, the suit has already cut slits in the back and in the front to allow the fabric to stretch more easily. These parts open up when the wolf form is transformed into. However, these slits allow full range of damage to be done towards the individual because of the exposed flesh. When in humanoid form, these slits are not seen due to the presence of metal and leather armor in the way of the slits. The alchemic Terrentatek leather is accommodated and modified to be able to stretch more of the individual's form. However, as for the pieces of armor made out of a high concentration of metal, that armor will be automatically removed through the usage of a simple button press on the chest of the user, making the heaviest and highest concentration of metal pieces to fall from the user.
[*]Alchemic Terrentatek
- Terrentatek leather in of itself is very useful when not alchemically altered by any means. The leather of beings who hunts the force is already capable of withstanding heavy punishment inflicted onto it. When altered by alchemy, however, such leather becomes accustomed to a new trait. Force Immunity. The leather, of course, will not and can not offer full immunity to the force. There is no such thing that can do such a thing, such is the way that the force doesn't work. The force can be limited to an extent of course, though it can never be fully stopped, nothing can be fully immune. Much like the Terrentatek leather. Though, it does boast a more than superb resistance and immunity to the force, being able to absorb the impact and power behind such things as force pushes and pulls among other more complex, and among other more rudimentary and simple, basic force abilities and force powers.
Strengths
- Force Resistance - The armor makes use for an alchemized strand of Terrentatek Leather to aid in the protection of the user. When altered by alchemy, however, such leather becomes accustomed to a new trait. Force Immunity. The leather, of course, will not and can not offer full immunity to the force. There is no such thing that can do such a thing, such is the way that the force doesn't work. The force can be limited to an extent of course, though it can never be fully stopped, nothing can be fully immune. Much like the Terrentatek leather. Though, it does boast a more than superb resistance and immunity to the force, being able to absorb the impact and power behind such things as force pushes and pulls among other more complex, and among other more rudimentary and simple, basic force abilities and force powers. The alchemized Terrentatek leather allows the user to withstand much more punishment than the standard armored individual can withstand in regards towards the force. The force doesn't have as sharp of an effect on the Terrentatek armor, allowing the user to keep moving and fighting even if there is a constant stream of force energies against their person that is meant to harm them and cause them injury.
- Lightweight & High Mobility - The armor itself is crafted from a combination of lightweight metals, fabrics, and leathers. This combination of both lightweight and surprisingly durable materials allows for the user of the armor to both withstand a multitude of punishment against them along with offering little in the way to hinder the movement speed of the individual in question. The armor carries with it a meager twenty-five standard pounds, putting little strain onto the frame of an individual whereas most forms of armor could reach up to eighty pounds or even more when taking into account individual strengths. In line with being lightweight, the armor also allows the user to be highly mobile when in combat and almost barely hinders or slows their movements.
Weaknesses
- Almost No Elemental Protection - The armor itself is crafted from a variety of lightweight yet durable metals, alchemized leathers, along with durable and stretchy fabrics. All of which, allows for the user to be lightweight and undeniably agile on the field of battle. Thus, however, comes with its own set of consequences The armor cannot easily sustain or protect against any of the elements. There was little thought given to such types of things, the focus was to get the armor to mold to the user's ability to transition and transform between a human form and a wolf form both in and out of combat. Which, resulted in no care being put forward in regards to protection from frigid temperatures or the hazardous temperatures of volcanic worlds.
- No Helmet & Almost No Sonic Protection - The armor has no helmet. It has no helmet whatsoever. To use a helmet was to impede the user and their overall combat abilities. This resulted in no protection being aimed towards the head or face of the individual, in short, leaving it wide open to be attacked by weapons, blasters, the elements, and the cold vacuum of space. Along with this, the individual is given no protection from sonic weaponry whatsoever, considering that they do not have a helmet with which to protect themselves from sonic weapons. The rest of the armor on their body has some protection to sonics, most notably the Terrentatek leather, though besides that, most of the armor has very little protection towards the use of sonic weaponry.

DESCRIPTION
- What was needed was armor. What was needed was protection. What was needed was for Kaine to protect himself. He couldn't protect himself from all of the xenophobes and bigots that he had seen and encountered thus far from the Galaxy, this was no protection from those types of people. What Kaine needed was something that could sufficiently protect him when fighting people, force-users, light-siders -- Jedi. And thus he requested and his request was filled by the Imperial Corps of Engineers of the Sith Empire. The Lupus Venandi Raiment helps to protect Kaine from most forms of modern weaponry, all of the said weapons, that were new to Kaine. On top of that, the male Gurlanin needed a suit of armor to protect himself that he was capable of wearing both when he was in his human form, and when he was in his wolf form. He didn't want to have to transform into a wolf one second and then transform back into a human the next and have no protection. That was a possible death sentence when in a fight of life and death, white and black.
