Name: Personal Hardlight Shield, Faux-Ceramic Hardlight Plates Description: The Personal Hardlight Shield itself is a sturdy box that projects the shield. The shield takes the form as a thin, glowing film over the user. Abilities: - Faux-Ceramic: Personal Hardlight Shields cover the user’s body, protecting them from potential damage. They can withstand a moderate amount of kinetic damage, or a good deal of plasma damage before shattering. Lasers are the exception, as they go straight through the shield without causing any damage to it. Conditional Abilities: - Kit Agnostic: Personal Hardlight Shields can be attached to other armor to provide an additional layer of protection, and does not stop the user from utilizing firearms. Limitations: - Reformation: Once shattered, the user can activate the projector again to redeploy the shield. Reforming takes three turns. Non-laser damage taken during the reformation process will prematurely shatter the thin shield before it redeploy. Conditional Limitations: - EMP Susceptible: EMPing a Personal Hardlight Shield will cause it to instantly shatter and be unusable for two turns. - Visible: Personal Hardlight Shields are visible as a thin, luminescent film around the user. This causes them to emit a dim glow. How does it work: Personal Hardlight Shields utilize a small array of sensors to track the user’s movements and maintain its projected hardlight, sometimes aided by additional tracking devices worn on the wrists and ankles of the user. Flavor text: A staple of Terran video games, it was only a matter of time before hardlight was put to use in personal protection.
