SPECIAL FEATURES
- A simple umbrella that houses an average blaster rifle components makes it a ranged weapon. The materials used in the crafting of the umbrella canopy provide a shield for the shooter that is blaster resistant. If melee combat is necessary, the cortosis raised wiring (that holds the canopy) provides protection against lightsaber combat. The special material that the canopy is made out of protects and provides the umbrella's ability to be used against kinetic weapons, but it's not advised.
- Extremely fashionable and can go with any outfit.
- Has a Gildenweave strap that allows the user to wear strapped to their back when not in use for protection of the elements.
- Its an umbrella so it protects from the sun, rain, snow, & anything else that the weather throws at the user.
- Repulsors allow for floating & quick movements - Mary Poppins style.
STRENGTHS
- Multi-use: Weapon doubles as both a ranged blaster and a formidable melee weapon, allowing the user a range of choices when in combat.
- Shields up: Because of the Gildenweave material used as the canopy, while the umbrella is open it protects the user and anyone they shield from blasters and kinetic weapons.
- Flexible Framework: The frame for the canopy is flexible and can be flipped inside out to take advantage of the repulsors.
WEAKNESSES
- There she blows: Cannot protect the user from Kinetic Energy attacks, will not protect against moving objects.
- Chonky: Despite being an umbrella, the weight from the materials and the hidden blaster makes it heftier than usual. It can still be swung like a melee weapon, but will soon tire the user. It requires a bit of strength to wield.
- There can only be two: Repulsors can only move with the weight of Rae & Jorryn, everyone else is SoL.
DESCRIPTION
Every posh Imperial woman dreams of having a lackey to carry their shopping bags and to hold their umbrella so that they could focus on other things. With Jorryn Fordyce's position within the Sith Empire, it is necessary that her hands are free and she is protected from the elements. When Rae found herself hired on by the new Lord Inquisitor, her job was laid out in detail. Finding herself required to do a multitude of jobs, carrying shopping bags, ensuring the Lord Inquisitor was dry and not sunburned, and providing an initial barrier of protection against any dangers that would fall upon the Lord Inquisitor - Cooke knew she needed to create something vital. Knowing her common tool for her job was an umbrella, she outfitted the shaft with blaster materials and an energy cell from a basic blaster auto rifle that she had access too. Along with being the cover identity of
Allyson Locke
, the cousin of the technological mastermind
John Locke
, the creation of the hidden weapon came with ease. With the new weapon in hand, she became the perfect right hand in ensuring the protection of the Lord Inquisitor of the Sith Empire.
