Description: Similar to the jacket made for him by Damien Daemon, Valashu Elahad recently chose to make a Bodyglove that could protect a wearer from kinetic damage. The first step was allocating of materials that could be used properly to complete the end result.
Val already knew of Uller, bone and horn, as well as Thermal Gel, as both were used in his jacket. But he had already found that these frequently needed replacement or repair; so he chose to make a new brand of Kinetic Dampener all together. Still utilizing both items, he sent out men to locate other minerals that would do the same.
They came upon several, including Durasteel, and odd metals that made olden Bounty Hunter armor, as well as an actual style of armor specifically made to counter Kinetic problems. As such, he had these all brought before himself, testing each individually, to ascertain the resulting decision: Durasteel took the brunt of damage only in so much effort as a flimsy metal can, the Bounty Hunters metal simply couldn't be found as to what caused it without extreme effort, but the Kinetic Armor did so with relative ease.
So it was chosen: the Corporation would need a large quantity of Uller Horn to be treated by the Alchemists found within the payroll of MSI, Kinetic Plates, Thermal Gel, and lastly Instant Adhesive.
As the Horn was being wrought, and alchemically treated to scale, from the bodies of the living brutes, the rest began. Firstly the minerals of the Kinetic was smelted to its liquid form, being the first untreated metal to breach those walls since the joining of JAC and MSI. When the Horn was properly broken to size, it was mixed in with Thermal Gel, which then was added alongside a dosage of Instant Adhesive - to bind the molecules of each material - to the alloy. Placed to bars, it was molded, then crafted down to fit upon a bodyglove.
Unlike typical bodygloves, this one will provide literally zero resistance as a backup unit. This item is one that could be utilized by bodyguards that may end up in a squabble, shockboxers, or those that work with their hands. Utilized by others, it is expected to be worn under another type of armor - whatever that may be.
Lastly, this suit is not a one time fix. It wears down, breaks through repeated strikes, hence requiring another purchase. As well, it does not simply negate all recourse from an attack, rather that it stops the transferred damage underneath - in other words, you get hit by a Leviathan? First off, automatically need a new suit, no doubt, but you will be sent ragdolling without being instantly killed.
