DESCRIPTION
Alyosha found some cortosis-weave armor that glows in the dark. Perhaps it was made in a misguided attempt to compete with lightsabers in terms of flashiness. Anyway, the lights can be turned on and off, so he won't look like an idiot trying to be an assassin while walking around wearing a flashlight suit. The lights both look cool and serve a practical purpose by, y'know, producing light.

The armor itself is all about flexibility and restricting movement as little as possible. Consequently, it only provides protection up to a certain point. Like most cortosis-weave armor, it also doesn't completely stop lightsabers - he could still get impaled or have a limb get chopped off, but if it just grazes him, he won't take any significant damage. It is also hilarious to watch the frustration of his opponents as their lightsaber keeps turning on and off with every swing.

The suit also comes with a matching helmet:

TL;DR It's cortosis-weave armor that glows.

Hi, I am Vis, and I will be reviewing this submission.

May I begin by thanking you for faithfully following the 5.1 template? We really appreciate that around here. One thing that glares at me as I read this is that your armor has soooooooooooo much potential! But, unfortunately, you're underpowering it by three points! You speak in your submission about how it is essentially cortosis weave technology. You should exploit that more! You're free to increase your ratings as you like: Raise your current ratings or add more (e.g. biological, acid and other corrosive substances, pressure, radiation, EMP/Ion, and so forth), you have potential here and I would hate to see it wasted.

Otherwise, you have a great straightforward submission, and I really am not finding anything wrong per se, just that it deserves to be all it can be!

Tag me if you have any questions or concerns, and let me know when you've made edits and we can continue from there!

Visanj T'shkali Aight, I made some edits but nothing extraordinary. I try not to make my stuff super powerful, mostly because I just don't think it's necessary.

Great, thanks!

Approved.
