Mr. Macho's Assorted Leather Jackets and Dusters

Poffo Sauvage is a colorful character and a tireless self-promoter. Now that he is no longer on the run from Jalil T'lol and is in the midst of his new career as a bounty hunter, Poffo knows that impressions and memorability are important to landing high paying jobs. It was this flamboyant, charismatic style that made him one of the most highly sought after and favored pit fighters in the Coruscant underground, and he has every reason to believe that taking it up a notch in the world of bounty hunting would serve him well also.

Poffo's jackets and dusters are made by Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles, a company renowned for both their fashionable clothing lines and, interestingly enough, affective armor lines. Poffo wanted both style and protection, so he spent his entire rewards on his first three bounties creating a massive collection of these colorful, but effective leather jackets and dusters.

The jackets vary in color and stylistic design, but the overwhelming majority are extremely colorful and have long, streaming tassels that Poffo believes gives himself a sense of regality which is more for aesthetics and marketing than his own self-delusions. Many of them say "Mr. Macho" on them or some variant thereof. Some will say "Madness" or "Macho Madness." All of this is primarily a calling card, a marketing ploy to set him apart from other bounty hunters. Some are even sequinsed and studded with fake jewels, but their primary function of protection remains steadfast.


LEGALITY

Legal. Made entirely from genuine, quality paralope leather and even higher quality dyes.

INTENT

To give Poffo some relative protection, primarily against melee attacks and the AMS-infected. The most important functionality is one that can serve as light protection for his arms which are not covered by his blast vest. It also allows him more pockets to carry goodies and gizmos as his typical attire doesn't allow for.

RESTRICTIONS
None.

Type and Coverage

Type: Light Armor (leather)

Coverage:
Light armor protection for the torso, back, upper arms, and lower arms. For the dusters, it will provide a level of protection for the upper legs to just below the knees.

Functions



Function 1: Flamboyance

  • Poffo is a self-promoter, and he wants his signature style to become part of his calling card as he tries to build his reputation as a bounty hunter.
Function 2: Pockets

  • While he hasn't typically relied on more than his fists and his knuckle dusters in the past, he has learned that bounty hunting is a different animal. He now carries blasters and his DT-29 requires a ton of extra energy packs. He hasn't carried a datapad until he stared his bounty hunting career, and the jackets give him an easy place to carry all of these extra gadgets that make his new profession necessary.
Function 3: Concealment

The jackets help to a degree, but the dusters are especially helpful for concealing blasters and vibroblades should such concealment become necessary.

Function 4: Protection

  • While it certainly isn't going to do much against blaster bolts or blunt weapon attacks, the leather armor is exceptionally made by a reputable armorer and will provide some significant protection against slashing weapons. It also is thick enough to help somewhat against short-bladed knives and daggers. A few AMS encounters were what prompted Poffo to have these leather jackets made, and they provide excellent protection against the claws and teeth of the zombified AMS sufferers.
