Strengths: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of
1 strength of this submission.)
- Songsteel makes it a rather light helmet for how thick the leaves of metal are. It also provides high lightsaber and blaster resistance.
- Able to deploy in a second or two, the helmet is worn around the neck in a choker for easy access.
Weaknesses: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of
1 weaknesses of this submission.)
- Weak points are along the side of the head where the leaves of songsteel are connected. If broke, it can prevent the closing of the helmet.
- The helmet is great for energy based weaponry, however, its not so great for kinetic impacts, or ballistic weaponry. It will protect against simple shrapnel, and maybe a stray slugthrower, but otherwise, a direct hit can find oneself with a slugthrower round piercing through the fold of the leaves and into the wearer's head.
- The HUD can shut down if an EMP Goes of. It still can close and open, however, the HUD won't activate and give you full functionality.
- Even if it is held as a choker around the neck, it still retains its weight. Its not suddenly become weightless.
- Bright Yellow eyes are a sign that the systems inside the helmet are active, and can be seen in the dark.
- It can be easy to activate, however if someone were to know how the helmet operates, they too, can shut it off, or turn it on at inopportune times.
- Can't be worn with other facial items such as glasses, or other helmets when on.
Description:
Built to once be worn by Xander Carrick on mission that would otherwise be considered under cover, it was funded by the company he owned as to protect himself as a Silver Jedi Knight, and becoming a Jedi Master within the Silver Jedi Order before it had become the Silver Sanctum Coalition it is of recent years.
The helmet can be deployed in an instant. Taking just a second or two to completely enclose the wearer's head in a protective shell of leaves, or sleeves that form together a rather solid dome. When collapsed, it looks like a rather large collar much like a slave collar, or just a large fashion accessory. its very easy to attach it around one's neck. Activating the helmet is as easy as actuating the switch housed inside the collar piece with telekinesis. However, it can be done by anyone else who knows how to use this helmet as well. *This information is strictly OOC, and does not give people the ability to flip it willy nilly even if they just met the person who happens to be wearing it.*
If the wearer were to be moving their head a lot, pivoting their head around on their neck when activating the helmet, the leaves can pinch the user between the leaves, and can even pull the top layers of skin off. The two rings on either side of the helmet are the weak points of the helmet. Smashing the side can prevent the helmet from closing. As well as having something jammed in between the leaves during the opening process.
Providing over all good protection, it's meant as a last resort, or for covert operations and the like.
