SPECIAL FEATURES
Able to not only protect the bearer from some of the elements like sun/wind/rain/snow, but also from light blaster fire. When the umbrella is down, it's capable of parrying and blocking strikes from a lighstaber.
Strengths:
¤Weather Barrier - Able to protect the bearer from weather elements like a typical umbrella
¤Blaster Resistant - Able to absorb some blasterfire when the umbrella is up, as well as block blasterfire when the umbrella is down.
¤Lightsaber Resistant - Able to block and parry lightsaber strikes when the umbrella is down.
¤Button Activated - A button on the handle opens up the umbrella for better ease.
Weaknesses:
¤Not Flame Resistant - Although the umbrella can withstand some blaster fire and lightsaber contact, it cannot handle it for an extended period, nor can it protect the bearer from flamethrowers, thermal detonators/grenades or explosions
¤Time Delay - In a pinch, the bearer can wield the umbrella like any sword, but opening the umbrella up takes a second, no matter how quick the reflexes of the bearer.
DESCRIPTION
Given that Kay is such a magnet for trouble and hides her Force abilities more so than she uses them, it was suggested that she gained herself better protection that she could hide well for someone in her position. So she thought up an idea of an umbrella.
After obtaining the rare Orichalcum ore for her help in finding a cure for the Incursion black substance, she enlisted the help of an artisan by the name of Risa Toole to help her to create it. The ore itself was heavy and dense, but plating it overtop of the lightweight Agrinium was a good match and kept the umbrella from being too heavy to be functional. The fabric consisted of an armourweave woven with tiny strands of melted and pressed Orichalcum to enable it to withstand some blasterfire. With the push of a button on the handle, the umbrella springs itself open as one would expect.
And given that the umbrella should be fit for a Queen, the Commenori Pluviam is decorated with various bits of gold, bronze and silver coloured lace to make it's appearance much more grand and not out of place as an accessory to her gowns.
