GORGEOUS' GEAR
Gorgeous' Armor isn't a singular set of armor, rather it is a hodge podge collection of bits and pieces he's acquired on his adventures so far and has stuck together to help his career. His jacket is his prized possession and he stole from a sleeping mercenary, having admired it's bright pink colour for the entirety of their time working together. He later found out the jacket had armorweave lining. His jet-boots however are the most valuable thing he's acquired. He found them, broken, in a second-hand junk shop. He was able to restore them to 'working' condition and even made some further modifications, installing a retractable knife in the sole of the boot and changing the jet flames from the boots to a pink colour.
Gorgeous is proud of his little collection of goodies and is always on the lookout for more gadgets and gizmos.
LEGALITY
While everything(*) Gorgeous has is technically legal, he did steal the jacket and if the boots were to be inspected by some sort of flight authority there's no way his second hand repair job would pass any sort of test. *I am unsure if it is illegal to carry concealed blades in your boot.
Type and Coverage
Type: Light
Coverage: (Coverage regions for Light armor is 1-3 regions, Medium is 4-5, Heavy is 6-7)
Functions

Functions
Function 1: Armorweave Accessory (Jacket)
- Most often in the form of a heavy cape, skirt, or underlay beneath armor, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
