Asher Windrider's Armor.

Asher's black suit of armor is a custom design of the more common Force User armor. Made to tackle a broad range of missions and remain unrecognized to the greater galaxy. The fully enclosed duraplast helmet has a built-in comlink, voice scrambler, and an advanced HUD with low-light and thermal vision modes.

The fabric of the outfit is laced with armorweave to protect against scratches, bites, or shrapnel. Offering a small level of protection to the body not covered by the armor. This alone won't stop a blaster bolt or a vibroblade though. That's the job of armor pieces. The torso has duraplast plates that can be attached or removed. The top of the hands and lower arms are protected by phrik composite gauntlets that can withstand a blow from a lightsaber.

Trained Force users can hold their breath for a long time. That's why they often opt out of life-support boxes to make the suit lighter. The saved weight can allow for a heavier-than-usual emergency vac-suit made of armorweave. To let you breathe in space, the helmet comes with a removable rebreather. You can use it separately (if you've opted out of the helmet) or attach it to the helmet when needed. Until then, the rebreather it is stored in one of the pouches of the utility belt, making the helmet less heavy.



LEGALITY

Legal. But wearing a fully-enclosed helmet in public without a good reason may be frowned upon in the more civilized worlds. Especially if you decide to use a voice scrambler.


INTENT

Just @Catbert 's very well put together Force User armor with a different image to use for Asher.


RESTRICTIONS

The materials and parts to put this suit together are widely available, except for phrik composite. But the suit itself isn't mass produced, so your character's take on it may look different. This is a big galaxy though, and these particular designs for helmet and outfit are quite popular. Even the association with the Inquisitors has somewhat faded away over the centuries.


TYPE AND COVERAGE

Type: Light Armor

Coverage: (Coverage regions for Light armor is 1-3 regions, Medium is 4-5, Heavy is 6-7)

  • Head: Enclosed duraplast helmet with removable rebreather
  • Torso: Lightweight durafiber tunic with removable duraplast plates to protect chest and abdomen
  • Lower arms: Gloves with segmented plates of phrik or cortosis; bracers from similar material to protect hands, wrists, and forearms

  • Neck, torso, back, arms, legs: Armorweave underlay (see "Function 1")


FUNCTIONS

Function 1: Armorweave Accessory (Default; not removable)
  • Most often in the form of a heavy cape, skirt, or underlay beneath armor (In this case, a bodysuit covering the entire body). Armor weave provides some protection against the penetrating effects of shrapnel from explosives and other unpowered high velocity impacts, with only a small amount of bleed through damage (bruising or very minor wounds). It offers no protection against kinetic impact or energy, vibroweapons, or similar "powered" weapons. Having more than one accessory (example: Cape + underweave) provides no additional effect.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 2: Vision Modes (Default; removable with helmet)
  • This Allows a Helmet HUD to cycle to low-light OR thermal vision modes.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 3: Voice Scrambler (Default; removable with helmet)
  • For the unusually paranoid, this helmet function can scramble a person's voice to unintelligible garbage, while allowing commlink conversations to continue as normal. Alternatively, it can be used to "digitize" a voice into a deep bass tone.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 4: Rebreather (Optional; can be attached to helmet or used separately)
  • Rebreathers allow for a person to survive underwater or in space for brief amounts of time by scrubbing CO2 from their exhaled breath. Generally this lasts for 3-4 posts, but heavy exertion can shorten that time.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 5: Emergency Vac-Suit (Optional; laced with armorweave to retain function 1 and avoid confusion)
  • It's no replacement for a spacesuit if you intend to EVA, but this undersuit, if combined with a helmet, can protect the wearer from the immediate effects of exposure to a vacuum for 5 posting rounds. You still need a way to breathe, however.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
