[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Created through an imbuement process concocted by the Veran Wilders, the Varos Cloak was made as per Vulpesen’s specifications of needing an armor that could survive the dangers of a battle field, while specializing in keeping him alive in his common duels with fellow force users. Using his own blood to attune the cloak to himself, Vulpesen and the wilders used shell spider silk laced with phrik filaments as the basis of their creation, amplifying its energy resistant qualities to create something capable of shrugging off all but the lengthiest of encounters with a lightsaber while also creating something that a sith couldn’t simply crush or electrocute him through.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Purposely made [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]of dark and natural colors, the Varos Cloak is made to mark Vulpesen as a Wilder on the battlefield, displaying his respect [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]for nature while also allowing him to disappear into the shadows and employ more cunning tactics, much like he was trained to do before his time on Veradune.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Filled with Pockets, the Varos cloak is made to be as utilitarian as possible, allowing the Valde to carry a number of small items onto the battlefield such as grenades, daggers, and even small lightsaber should he need to. There are of course, sheathes and clips on the external parts of his belt, allowing him to clip things such as his main lightsaber more openly for easy access.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Being made from a ritual of force imbuement, it is possible to rob the Varos cloak of most of its more protective qualities by simply subjecting it to a force neutralizing environment. While the imbuement ritual is meant to allow some sort of resilience to this, if subjected to about a week in these conditions, the sort of hibernation that the cloak enters will fail and render its abilities inert until the ritual can be undertaken again. This forces Vulpesen to be careful during times such as his extended trips to Myrkr.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Due to a fight with a certain sith who attempted to crush his nether regions with the force, Vulpesen saw to it that a few extra measures were put in place to protect the sensitive area while in combat. While possibly unnecessary due to his armor’s resistance to the force, this holdout remains, likely due to some sort of paranoia.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]A hold-out from all his other armors, Vulpesen’s mask is an integral part of who he is on the battlefield. While technically not a part of the Varos Cloak, it is still worn at the same time, covering his face while the cloak’s hood covers the rest of his head.[/SIZE]
