Kyyrk
Vylmira's Wrath
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create a kinetic shield for Voph Sitdrisa'yr, to augment his existing armoring.
- Image Source: X
- Canon Link: Particle Shield
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Voph, Vylmiran Technological Industries, Locke and Key Mechanics
- Affiliation: Voph, [member="John Locke"], [member="Taramaz Laurs"], Confederacy of Independent Systems, Closed Market
- Model: D3-KK Shield Generator
- Modularity: No
Production: Semi-Unique
- Material: Shield Generator Components
- Compact design, suitable for armor or Cybernetic Enhancement
- Kinetic Energy Transfer
- Kinetic Energy Transfer: The Kinetic Shield is designed to absorb incoming kinetic energy and reflect it back.
- Focused Burst: The Kinetic Barrier can redirect all absorbed energy into a single focused strike, for maximum damage and potency.
- Area of Effect: The Shield can redirect all absorbed energy into a spherical pulse, offering a weaker blast, but affecting more targets.
- Slug Stopper: The Shield is nigh-impervious to slug rounds, often able to stop small arms rounds in their tracks.
- Kinetic Dampening: The Shield allows the wearer to strike objects and surfaces without fear of blow back. The shield cannot absorb energy from such an action, but it can prevent injury sustained through striking a heavy surface.
- Timing is Key: The shield generator has substantial power draw requirements, and thus can only be active for a few seconds. The longer it is active, the longer it takes to recharge.
- Big Boom: While capable of stopping conventional slugs, the shield is unable to stop artillery rounds and larger shells.
- Inactive: The shield does nothing unless willfully powered on.
- Component: This shield generator is useless on its own, as it has no internal power source.
- Hard Cap: The Shield Generator can only absorb energy to a certain point, before it must release the stored energy and recharge.
Designed with Physicality in mind, the D3-KK shield Generator was designed as a semi-unique prototype for a new kind of kinetic Shielding. Drawing inspiration from the Kinetic Shields of old, the D3-KK shield is designed to allow the user to strike, or be struck, without fear of retribution. Designed in conjunction with Locke and Key Mechanics, the D3-KK shield generator is one of the first functional prototype tools to come out of Vylmiran Technological Industries.
The shield, as many prototype tools do, has several drawbacks. The first is that the item was designed to be incorporated into a suit of armor, meaning the device is useless on its own. However, the component can be mounted in a custom case to remedy this shortcoming. The device also has limited storage capacity, meaning that it cannot be used infinitely. In addition, the device is taxing on its power source, and can only be active for sixty seconds before the user runs the risk of overloading, and possibly detonating the device. The longer the device is active, the longer it must remain offline to recharge. Users are informed that a good rule of thumb is "One second up, two seconds down."
