Kirby's Gear

Kirby is a mechanic and built most of his gear himself or repurposed protective equipment from the workshop to function as make-shift armor. His Goggles with their various vision modes are just goggles mechanics wear when working in low-light conditions and when dealing with potentially harmful heat from engines. His Jump Boots were mostly built by him, using repurposed hydraulics from mechanical doors. His most impressive technological wonder however is his homemade wrist mounted repulsor which he spent months building by replicating the repulsors used on repulsor lifts. He might not have the specifics on how to use his new gear down just yet but Kirby is equipped and ready to take on the world.

LEGALITY

His goggles are completely legal. People may frown on him walking around using homemade pieces of equipment such as his Jump Boots or his Wrist mounted Repulsor - but that's only a problem if they ever rumble him as a fraud.

Type and Coverage

Type: Light

Coverage:


  • Head: Durasteel Goggles with Transparisteel Lenses - protect the wearers eyes from intense light and debris
  • Lower Arms: Gloves designed to protect the hands while welding - and also conveniently hide the presence of a wrist repulsor on his left arm.
  • Lower Legs: His boots protect his feet. Kirby built his own shock-absorbing knee braces to help dampen the landing force from his jump-pads and the blast-back from his repulsor.




Functions



Function 1: Vision Modes (Force Sense)

  • This Allows a Helmet HUD to cycle to low-light OR thermal vision modes.
Function 2: Jump Boots (Force Enhancement)

  • 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). These do NOT function mid air.
Function 3: Repulsor (Force Push)

  • 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.
