Víkingr Armor

Rugged, efficient and hardwoven are all words used to describe the Víkingr Armor. With the traditional Deucalian Armor being passed down within large families and onerously crafted when requisitioned anew, the means of quickly producing traditional armor became less and less practical after the Deucalian Exodus. With their means and resources strained, the Deucalians were forced to employ increasingly efficiency-over-tradition, and their new praxis in ably armoring their raiders came in the form of the Víkingr Armor.

Jointly popularized by the Deucalian clans, the Víkingr Armor was originally scrap armor, hastily formed together with the only heed being that it covered all necessary regions for battle. Over time, this battle-worn appearance became the aesthetic norm, with a more unified look taking root because of it. Most Deucalian clans (especially in older times) use or have used Víkingr Armor, utilizing it as their generic protection. Because the Víkingr Armor was designed for efficient mass-production, it is usually crafted from Durasteel, Titanium or Acertron alloy, coupled with a long armorweave jacket. Víkingr Armor was frequently colored and painted to the whims of a raider, either to their personal preference, or to emulate the colors used by their clan.

In recent memory, the new heavy armor being rolled out has proven its popularity, and Víkingr is mainly a medium alternative for those out there who wish to be able to effectively move without cement blocks on their backs.

LEGALITY

Legal, although a person likely wouldn't due themselves any favors wearing the armor openly outside of Hutt Space, given that the Deucalians are, openly, a culture of raiders and marauders.

INTENT

A more generic source for Deucalians wanting armor that isn't restricted to them via an advanced tag, requiring plot to acquire them, or requiring a historical relevance to their families. It is typical raider armor. This adds a medium variant to the already submitted heavy armor on the workshop, for those who prefer it. It's been brought directly from last timeline, with permission from Korvo.

ADVANCED TECH
No(?), it's generic and popular with Deucalians--but isn't strictly a Deucalian production. Then again, you may not want to wear this because you look like a space viking.

I know. It's heavy though, and this one is medium.

We were already planning on adding more variants, anyways--I thought I'd get it out of the way for those who prefer medium armor.

Us barbarians like variety in our armor soup.

No reason this couldn't be generic tech, I think, but @Korvo being the faction leader for the Deucalians, he and the tech admin are the only ones who can post faction-specific tech.

You could just call this Vikingr Armor and say that it is popular with Deucalians, but it can't be standard issue or anything like that.

I am going to move it to the Generic section though, for now.

Thank you kindly. Also, I changed the thread title so there isn't any confusion.
