Intent: To create a Cloak for the Pale Assassin of the Sith Assassins.
Development Thread:

Manufacturer: Darth Lykos.
Model: N/A.
Affiliation: Pale Assassin/Aspect of Death.
Modularity: No.
Production: Unique.
Material: Shell Spider Silk (Inner Layer) and Cloth (Outer Layer).
Classification: Other.
Weight: 1.1kg.
Quality:

• Blaster: 4
• Vibroblades: 4
• Lightsabers: 2

Special Features: (Is it resistant to certain weapons? Does it include special sensors? Even if you've discussed your features at length in the Description line of the Base Template, this is a good place to list them.)
Strengths: Able to hide the user in the Force and from sight.
Weaknesses: It does not have much in the way of armourment.

Description: This Sith Rune empowered Cloak was created for the sole purpose of laying over the shoulders of the Pale Assassin within the Sith Assassins. Calling upon the moniker given to the Pale Assassin, the Aspect of Death, this cloak obscures the wearer within both the Force and the Physical realm. Created by Darth Lykos, his inspiration came from a small religious passage from his home Clan, taught to him during his younger years. "Death is but one form of Nath's will. He is it in all forms and all truths, everything you know of Death is known of Nath. The destruction He brings is but the ending of a finite cycle. He is never seen, never glimpsed nor felt 'till it is time, for He is never to be noticed by any who have not passed into His embrace. Unseen and unnoticed 'till His destructive gaze must fall upon your Mind, Body and Soul." As such, this Cloak calls upon the passages that speak of Nath being unseen and unnoticed.

The cloak is lined with the Sith Rune Cluster comprised of Swatak, Xerilof, Kilthor and Sith Master and it is these clusters that grant the Cloak its strongest, main and most practical ability, the ability to obscure the user both physically and through the Force. Swatak and Xerilof serve as the Rune that create the effect, their meanings combined being listed as "Hide, Cover, Make Blind To" and "Create Illusion, Disguise User"; Swatak is focused on the physical while Xerilof is focused on the mind. Sith Master serves to empower the Runes, focusing them. As does Kilthor, however, it also enables the wearer to define the potency of the Clusters, making it possible for them to almost fully deactivate the Clusters and reveal themselves.

The cloak itself is not designed to be strongly armoured, in fact, it's purpose is to either be worn over a set of armour or to be worn by someone not concerned with armour. However, the Shell Spider Silk does serve to offer some manner of defense.

Death's Embrace was also not designed by Lykos to be worn alone and is in fact accompanied by Death's Claw.

As I said in the PM, here is essentially what I had in mind. Feel free to criticise. Also, the "Death's Claw" is a little something I thought up while writing this up and thought sounded like a good idea. I'm about to start working on it now.

This is pretty fantastic. Though, I do think there should be specified a way to end and differentiate between the stealth modes except by taking the cloak off entirely.

The cloak and Death's Claws are both looking mighty fine. Will you be the one to submit them to the factory, and when could I expect that to be done?

 

[Darth Abyss]

[member="Darth Ophidia"] Last I heard [member="Darth Lykos"] is currently LOA (if you read this man, still waiting for you to come back), so it might be a while.

 

[Darth Ophidia]

[member="Darth Abyss"]

Ah, noted. I saw he hadn't been on for a while, but couldn't remember seeing an LOA thread.

[member="Darth Lykos"]

Whenever you have time, man.

 

[Xevek Nekonis]

[member="Darth Ophidia"]

Well, I was LOA but, unfortunately, due to the suddenness and severity of the health issues that caused said absence, I never really had the chance to put up a LOA thread, and by the time I was in a state to do so, depression had drained me of the drive to even log on. Anyway, me issues aside, I'm back now and, if you want can submit this and the Claws. Unless you want to do so, of course.


[member="Darth Abyss"]

As I say above, I was on a LOA but, well, I'm back. Er... if I may bother the both of you for a moment, would either of you two be able to or even okay with giving me a run down of major events on the site during the past 2 months I've been gone? Sorry to be a bother.

 

[Darth Abyss]

Major events ... let's see. (Tbh I don't how far back some events happened so sorry if you already know these things lol)

So knight rank is no avaliable for any character right from the start, invasion rules have changed, and some other small tweaks to the System of chaos (but honestly playing feels pretty much exactly the same lol).

There are two sith factions on the map now, The Resurgent Empire that controls the Korriban hex and the Sith Ascendency that has set up shop around bastion. The Imperial Remnant is now the Galactic Empire, the Mandos have a new major faction. There is also the dominion which IDK much about, but they seem to offer something to pretty much every kind of character.

Also Abyss is now finally in his new former, and currently in the process of reclaiming Malachor with a ragtag band of allies lol.

There is probably a lot more that happened but these are the things that popped into my mind first.

Due to the reformatting of templates in the Factory I've reworked this submission. I also ended up adding in a few details. I'll post the new submission bellow for you to look at and, if you give your go ahead, I'll submit it asap.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Obscuration of the Self.

DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES

• Obscuration of the Self: Powered by the Sith Runes sown onto the inner layer of the cloak, The Death's Embrace is capable of hiding the wearer in both the material world, rendering them invisible, and the Force, rendering them undetectable. The Runes, formed out of silk thread shaped in the designs of the ancient language and imbued with Darkness through the blood that the thread was soaked in, are the sole aspect powering this effect so, should they be damaged, the effect would be weakened until such a time that the Runes were repaired - being comprised of just thread should something manage to cut through the Shell Spider Silk said damage would be easy to inflict. Due to the fact that the physical invisibility is largely mentalism-based, the effect is rendered ineffective on cameras. Furthermore, the more in tune someone is with the Force, the greater the focus required by the wearer to pass beneath said person's notice. Overall, the Cloak possesses a 'field of obscurification' however its main use is in empowering the effects of stealth techniques utilised by the wearer while also making them less draining to maintain.

Strengths:

• Capable of rendering the wearer obscured within the physical world and the Force.
• Allows for high amounts of mobility.

Weaknesses :

• Doesn't provide a large amount of resistance to damage beyond the Shell Spider Silk inner layer.
• The Runes caused the obscurification can be damaged, lessening the effect.

This Sith Rune empowered Cloak was created for the sole purpose of laying over the shoulders of the Pale Assassin within the Sith Assassins. Calling upon the moniker given to the Pale Assassin, the Aspect of Death, this cloak obscures the wearer within both the Force and the Physical realm.

As does Kilthor, however, it also enables the wearer to define the potency of the Clusters, making it possible for them to almost fully deactivate the Clusters and reveal themselves. Overall, on its own, the Cloak possesses its own field designed to shroud the wearer, however, the true beauty of its design comes from the fact that, once 'bonded' to a wearer, it serves as a channel for stealth techniques; empowering them whilst simultaneously making them less draining.

The cloak itself is not designed to be strongly armoured, in fact, it's purpose is to either be worn over a set of armour or to be worn by someone not concerned with armour. However, the Shell Spider Silk does serve to offer some manner of defense.

By and large it looks great. I am a little unsure about the specifics of this part:

and the more in tune someone is with the Force, the more the wearer will have to focus to hide themselves.

Do you mean the more in tune the wearer is, or those trying to detect the wearer? This is unclear. I would also suggest splitting the sentence off from the one before it, again for clarity.

It seems to me like this item works as a focus for stealth techniques, making them less exhausting and perhaps more effective. Is this accurate?

 

[Xevek Nekonis]

I meant the more in tune those trying to detect the wearer. Also, while the cloak does possess a 'background stealth aura', its main purpose is as you said, aye. Largely serving as a focus. I've main edits to show this.

"and the more in tune someone is with the Force, the more the wearer will have to focus to hide themselves."

has become

"Furthermore, the more in tune someone is with the Force, the greater the focus required by the wearer to pass beneath said person's notice. Overall, the Cloak possesses a 'field of obscurification' however its main use is in empowering the effects of stealth techniques utilised by the wearer while also making them less draining to maintain."

And I added: "Overall, on its own, the Cloak possesses its own field designed to shroud the wearer, however, the true beauty of its design comes from the fact that, once 'bonded' to a wearer, it serves as a channel for stealth techniques; empowering them whilst simultaneously making them less draining" to the description.
