CASMIR'S CHITIN ARMOR

Instead of alloys and metals, Casmir chose to create his armor from natural hides, bone plates, scales and shells to substitute, adorning his right shoulder with the polished skull of a juvenile acklay. As he intended to dedicating the remainder of his life to bounty hunting, Casmir believed that "natural" armor would be more comfortable and resistant to ware, once treated, in a wider variety of environments, and would be less expensive to replace.

LEGALITY

Nothing illegal, just bones and scales and such.

  • Head: N/A
  • Torso: Plates of bone, shells and scales over an animal hide undersuit covering most of the torso

Functions


Function 1: Filter
  • Filters are bulky attachments to a helmet, or function as part of a mask, that filter out environmental contaminants such as smoke or most toxins. They are susceptible to caustic substances and damage.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
Function 2: Jump Boots
  • This rare and expensive technology is able to propel a person up to 10 meters beyond what a normal person would normally be able to jump, especially when armored. It is not capable of sustained flight, and requires a brief engine cool-down before it can be used again (1 post cool-down).
  • Force User Compatible?: No
Function 3: Concealed Blade
  • Concealed blades are typically 4-6 inches in length and lock into place once extended. They are almost always placed along the fore-arm or boot. They are no substitute for true combat knives as the locking mechanism can break under strong impacts. Still, some people enjoy them as a helpful backup.
  • Force User Compatible?: No.
Function 4: Whipcord Thrower
  • The whipcord launcher was a personal weapon that fired a thin fibercord whip which then wrapped around and ensnared the target to restrict mobility up to 10 meters away while remaining attached to the mount point. It was detachable with a second use of the firing button. The whipcord launcher was favored by bounty hunters, as it was easy to carry and use and it virtually always ensured a live capture, though it could be cut by a vibro blade with ease.
  • Force User Compatible?: No
