Darro Tane's Armor

This is the personal hunting armor of Darro Tane. It was thrown together over his career and quite frankly acts more of platform for his various tools than a protective measure.

As far as armored points their is a fully enclosed helmet made of a composite of duraplast that is overlaid with a thin layer of titanium and transparisteel visors. The helmet holds a filter system and vision modes which the goggles of the helmet give off a faint red light when a vision mode is activated. The armored plating over the chest is the same material as the helmet minus the transparisteel and ditto for the gauntlets. The gauntlets which are also loaded with several functions to aid in the capture of bounties.

Over all it offers light coverage, but with some many functions is functional light/medium armor.

LEGALITY

Legal for the most part, though the functions would probably garner glances on more heavily policed worlds.

INTENT

Just wanted to create a unique armor for my space cowboy, that would suit his needs as a bounty hunter.

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.

Function 2: Bola Launcher (Left Wrist)

• The gauntlet bola Launcher is a useful addition to a bounty hunters arsenal. Single shot, takes several seconds to reload, and has a max range of 25 meters. A successful hit tangles a foe in a strong durasteel wire to slow down or even capture the target.

Function 3: Vision Modes

• This Allows a Helmet HUD to cycle to low-light OR thermal vision modes.

Function 4: Repulsor (Right Wrist)

• Originally designed to counter combat with force sensitives, this tool is able to project a strong repulsor field replicating a Force push. It projects up 10 meters and its limited power cell only allows for 3 uses before it needed changing. The repulsor has significant recoil and the wielder must carefully brace themselves before use- both to ensure accuracy and to prevent the user from being knocked over themselves or having their arm torn from its socket.

Function 5: Jetboots

• Miniaturized jetpack technology, jetboots (also called "rocket boots") are essentially boots to which small jetpack thrusters have been attached. The wearer must activate/deactivate the thrusters modes via wrist-mounted controls. Like an average jetpack, jetboots permit a maximum speed of 35kph and can maintain this speed for two minutes of continuous flight (flight mode). In combat (mode), they can be used in short bursts to propel the wearer up to seven (7) meters. Jet boots are much smaller, lighter, and less vulnerable to attack and damage than jetpacks, but are also very difficult to utilize effectively, and wearers can be easily thrown off course.
