Intent: To create a set of robes/light armor for Ru and other Jedi Consulars that will offer protection, allow the user to stay mobile, and to keep them from wearing heavy armors that will deplete their stamina and Force reserves on the battlefield.

Development Thread:

Manufacturer: Master Sochi Ru

Model: Not applicable
Affiliation: Sochi Ru, but sets may be given away.
Modularity: None
Production: limited production
Material: Shell Spider Silk, Armorweave, Bones of specific native creatures of Felucia, and Small amounts of Synthmesh

Classification: Anti-blaster, Anti-Kinetic damage, Anti-lightsaber [Limited resistance everywhere else, w/ the Forearm guards having the most resistance], Anti-Climate [Slightly]
Weight: 6 kg
Quality: 3
Special Features: Composed of mostly cloth, and silk like materials the robes are very light weight and made specifically for skilled users of the Force. Its made to compliment those who can back up their defenses with thier Force abilities. It has detachable forearm guards made of bones of native creatures of Felucia, which contain Force reactive crystals within them.

Description: The robes are composed of two different layers made of diferent cloths and silk like materials. They come in earth tones, and it isn't the elaborate type. It has been crafted to put the wearer through some discomfort to sharpen the focus.

These Robes were designed to compliment Jedi Consulars on the battlefield. The Under layer is composed of overlapping pieces of Shell Spider Silk that makes up a body glove, which has been mended together with Shell Spider Silk. It has been designed to get away from the long, flowing, and loose-fitting designs of their usual attire, and has been constructed to give the Consular full mobility of their legs and arms without having to resort to stripping out of layers to avoid the fabric from being caught on objects, the opponents weapon, and to keep it from distracting and hindering the wearer. The Outer layer, which has been formed into a vest is composed of layers of Armorweave, which is stitched together by Shell Spider Silk. Since the material has been formed into a vest so that it doesn't fully hinder the entire body, and mobility is still an option. The Armorweave provides limited resistance to Lightsabers.

Synthmesh has been added in small amounts to act as insulation to combat the variety of climates, though since the material is heavy and would only drag down the wearer the insulation used must be coupled with the abilities of the Force-user. Though combined with abilities such as Tapas, protection from the elements would only last for a certain amount of time without shelter.

Guantlets have been crafted from the bones of native creatures from Felucia. The asset was created by Jedi Master Sochi Ru, whom is a Cheiftain on the planet. She was given a skullblade as a symbol of her leadership, and in hopes of making use of the weapon she had it crafted into gauntlets to compliment her robes. Made of bone, they are lightweight, yet strong enough to withstand impact if the need arises. Due to them containing Force-reactive crystals they can withstand blows from Lightsabers, but are prone to breaking and wearing down overtime if they are not imbued with the Force in most of the impacts.

• The only real thing to address here is that you want to be able to give away sets of this, yet you have it makred as unique. Mark it as limited production and you should be fine there. The rest is just some general logic oversights:

• Given the materials you're choosing to use, 5 kg is awfully light. Clone trooper armour is 40 kilograms and synthmesh is considerably heavier than the standard materials for that. Couple that with layers of armourweave and 5 kg is going to be too light for this. It's also going to go against your intent of it being light - it's up to you as to how you'd like to play this, though.

• By the same token, given that only the chest is actual synthmesh (unlike the clone trooper sealed setup), only your chest is going to have all the protection against the elements/et cetera. If you walked out into a blizzard, this would offer no real protection because your fingers/toes/etc aren't protected the same way. It's up to you if/how you'd like to change it.

I knew the Synthmesh would be an issue, it was that or Spun-plast.

However, I made necessary edits. Got rid of the Synthmesh entirely.

I still worry about the environment issues though, Is there anything we could add to it that wouldn't mess with the weight too much?

[member="Sochi Ru"] You could probably put it in just in small amounts, but realize that its not perfect insulation and that combined with Tapas she should be okay for short period of time without shelter in harsh conditions like cold.

Alright, made some edits. [member="Spencer Jacobs"]
