El Silencio's Custom Armor

El Silencio's Custom Armor​

Stolen from the dead body of a pirate, El Silencio's personal armor has undergone much tweaking over the course of his possession of it. Despite being a droid, he experiences something akin to the near-human sensation of paranoia when he isn't wearing this armor, so he keeps it on at all times.​

LEGALITY​

As the original armor draws many similarities with Ranger Armor, it is entirely legal in the vast majority of systems. However, the gear does contain weaponry used for bounty hunting, which is most certainly illegal when no longer concealed.​

INTENT​

A personal reskin of J-1 Modifiable Droid Armor, as worn by a rogue IG-00 droid. Comes with custom functions, and minor armor tweaks to match El Silencio's actual appearance. ​

Functions​

Function 1: Jump Boots

• This unusual technology - a precursor to rocket boots - 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).

Function 2: Concealed Blade

• Concealed blades are typically 4-6 inches in length and lock into place once extended. They are almost always placed along the forearm 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.

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 forearm 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.

Function 4: Thermal Undersuit

• Thermal undersuits wick away or reflect thermal energy for brief periods of time. They are not nearly as effective as a suit that firefighters would wear. Most commonly used to protect soldiers from short blasts from flamethrower weapons or brief exposure to extreme heat, and are only good for 1-2 posts of exposure depending on intensity. They are useless against blasters.
