SPECIAL FEATURES
Helm/Headgear:
Reconnaissance Helmet: Equipped with high grade optical sighting (Night Vision/Thermal Vision and Optical Zoom/Rangefinder).
Internal Communications Link: An inbuilt Commlink for secure communications across encrypted channels. Outside of the helm, all communications both inbound and out are kept silent to preserve stealth.
Personal Respiratory Feed: Offering a personal supply of Oxygen for most hazardous environments that would be otherwise impossible of sustaining life and providing clear air to breath.
- Concealed Blades: attached via an electronic sheath strapped to the wrists, the blade can be extended or ejected from it's holding at will for close quarters execution or assassination.
- Grav-Gloves: Short for Gravitation, the soft black material upon the palm of each hand harbors a technology that when triggered, allows the wearer to climb or hang from walls that would otherwise be impossible. These are generally used for infiltration and stealth and are not meant for use in combat.
- I-R Alpha One: The implementation of a rather forgotten line of technology has been added to this set of armor thanks to old connections and somewhat shady dealings under the table, behind the scenes of the black market.
- Utility Belt: Customized for maximum capacity ammunition for blasters and slug-throwers or weapon of choice. Is often used for the carrying of devices and smaller weapons such as throwing knives (Kunai).
- Thermal Layer: An air tight exo-skeleton designed to keep temperatures optimal even in the coldest of environments (within reason). This thermal layer is made for the purpose of long term reconnaissance missions.
- Backpack & Additional Sheaths: The bag (Backpack) is as are most of their like, used for the purpose of transporting goods. It's fairly resistant to weather though little else while the two sheaths are made to house Atrisian styled Vibroblades, the Katana and the Wakizashi.
- Grav-Boots: Identical to the Grav-Gloves, these boots offer the ability to walk/run across walls or other vertical surfaces such as the hull of a ship out in space.
The one wearing this gear (Specifically the Gloves and Boots) can traverse walls and scale large obstacles with relative ease.
Communication is kept both encrypted and silent thanks to the I.R Alpha One Wrist Datapad and the Tactical Helm meant to muffle any communications to and from the user.
Has an exceptionally strong defense against energy based attacks such as Ion munitions or Electric Magnetic Pulse blasts, thanks to the Faraday Cage.
Agility and Martial Practices required to make the most out of this Armor Set, specifically the gravity gloves and boots require great strength of body to climb difficult terrain.
Kinetic Force will still suffer the body physical harm despite other resistances as this armor set has been designed for speed and maneuverability over strength of physical defense.
The Design around the Tsukasa Chūnin Armor has been made to take influence from the Atrisian Assassin's and Spies of older times. Using a mix of technology and the wearer's personal training for which most members of the Tsukasa Gokudō practice, this light-weight yet complex combat attire is most at home in Urban Area's where the environment can be used against the enemy, to flank, evade or infiltrate and assassinate one's target with speed and decisive action.
For the purpose of assessing and scouting environments of high profile, the Headgear has been built to offer superior line of sight and all-round vision through a variety of different modes, (Night Vision, Thermal and Optical enhancement). Communication within the head-piece has also been designed so that audio can only be heard from within and the inner wall that comforts the head has been sound-proofed so that the Organization's intel can remain secure as well as the soldier be allowed to communicate with others even during combat, without giving away their intent or the order's they may be receiving.
Two key advantages and technological assets upon this attire are the Grav-Boots and Gauntlets which allow the wearer to essentially "Wall-run" and climb their way across otherwise inaccessible routes. Combined with the physical discipline of Atrisian Martial Arts, these Gokudō Soldiers will make for a swift opponent should once come up close and personal with them.
