Description:
James knew that it was finally time for him to invest in a good set of armor. Something he had been putting together and thinking over for several months. The spacer spent a great deal of that time consulting experts; and by experts he meant soldiers who he encountered over drinks at clubs. As he talked to them, James took notes of what they said were important in armor, what was often needed, and what was less than worthless. At last, after many nights in the clubs gathering this information, he took pen to datapad and began thinking up his own armor. Between drinks and sessions, each stopped by work on his business holdings and the like. At last he brought his armor before some of the other soldierly type he employed such as the Cardinal Second Rangers, [member="Kiber Thaxton"] [member="Gray Raxis"] and the like. With their professional input and a few tweaks he was almost ready. Almost.
James, of course, knew that armor was more than just a thing of status or to look good. And for it to be truly powerful or good, it would need more than just goodies and a few aesthetic designs. As a being is only what they eat, so armor is only as good as the material that makes it. James committed a dig expedition with [member="Miss Blonde"] which ended with him gaining phrik. Satisfied, he paid some of his better personel to put the components together. His designs came to them and gave a few specific instructions as well: make sure that it remained light weight and capitalize on mobility.
After several weeks of painstakingly long construction, every detail attended to, the armor was complete. Like a kid in the playground, James took to giving it a test run. First he ran across the waste lands of Soceras, giving it a chance to test against both the harsh environments as well as the chance to see how well it would hold up against the local wild life. Afterwards, James took it into the reaches of space, testing it in a few mock pirate runs. Going a bit less than wise, the spacer even hurled himself into the vacuum of spacer, into the line of fire, and more than once into harm’s way. But, that was James Justice for you, and he was never known to be the wise type.
Satisfied, at last, James gave each of those involved thanks in the best way he knew how; by giving each a ridiculous amount of money and equally ridiculous amounts of alcohol.
