STRENGTHS
Ninja Dust: A small compartment in the boots and activated by pressure, this feature emits a puff of black smoke upon hitting the ground via a stomp, landing from a jump, etc. While mostly a cosmetic feature, one might also couple this with impeccable timing to create an illusion of appearing out of or fading into a puff of smoke. Damage dealing: None, Distraction: Average, Cool factor: Extreme
Silent Night: While it’s already fairly easy to move in mostly leathers without making too much noise, much of the leather has been alchemized to ensure both material resilience and truly noise-canceling movement.
Can’t Touch This: The incorporation of Terentatek leather renders the user highly resistant to being directly affected by force. The incorporation of phrik also makes for garb with just the right tools to handle taking on folks with lightsabers.
Secret Snacks: Fitted with multiple storage compartments, the Nightwalker’s Shroud is an ideal fashion piece to keep on the go. Cause, you know...snacks...definitely not to hide anything else.
WEAKNESSES
Bad Reception: While the Terentatek leather provides wild levels of resistance against targeted force abilities, it also works as a double (if not triple) edged sword. Just as the wearer is relatively safe from enemy abilities, they are unable to receive benefits from allies, and may even find their own mastery of the force to be considerably hindered.
Much Assembly Required: Because this armor is manufactured less as a matching set and more items crafted over time to fit together, there’s a lot of moving pieces. While this does leave room for a great deal of customization day by day, this also means there’s a lot to keep track of. This makes for a wild and time-consuming ride getting in and out. The Force help you if you want to get rid of an underlayer or miss a buckle the first time around.
Moving Pieces, Moving Problems: Such is the pain of outfits with layers. Things get lost a bit too easily, more delicate pieces get broken, and the wrong movement at the wrong time can mean the plating meant to protect is now digging into your flesh. Think a corset, but it's sharp and everywhere.
Running in Heels: In order to compensate for secret boot compartments, especially for essentially a tiny smoke machine, the boots are low and behold more like wedged heels. This can make for an uncomfortable wear after so long, especially if one is not used to heels.
DESCRIPTION
Sometimes, when store bought armor isn't good enough, hand-collected is just fine. Most aptly described as studded leather armor with a few upgrades, the Nightwalker’s Shroud holds up to its name. Built for stealth and targeting force sensitives, this collection of armaments can turn a high-profile assassination to a matter of high fashion. Much of the armor was collected over time as funds, materials, and time allowed, with the ensemble as a whole taking several years to complete.
While most of the armor maintained its basic design, some factors took a turn for the cosmetic. The mantle itself has been tooled and dyed to mimic the appearance of feathers, for example. Extra detailing was added here and there. Besides, if you're going to spend so much time and energy towards a garb, you might as well look good wearing it.
