the knee pads will be black atm, the jumpsuit is black for the time(cant find a gray one) black boots, they will be legacy plates with the templar cross broken on top of those plates.


character name- garyth Skyblade
class medic
(edited to include images of the gear that i have so far and what im going for.)


(these syringes)


(these knee pads, need to fill in the holes im aware)



( assassin helm, with this color scheme)


(these gloves, for manueverability when working on a casualty.)


(datapad to attach to guantlet)


(uranium vials)


(actual bacta grenade)


(thigh rig and belt, painted black)


(initial facemask rebreather for serious cases, gonna add some tubing and such for air intake etc.)


(laser scapel, have an idea working on implementing it atm)


(tactical chemical lights.)


(med supplies for in the bag, includes: bandages, splint, gauze, and tape)


(sole weapon will be a knife, this is a concept)


(tac light may add to outside of helmet to shed light on patients.)


(and yes goin with vegeta styled/length shoulders xD)

Well, if you can't tell, I won't complain about your grey/orange scheme!

Interested to see more of your ideas, especially more details on how you bring it all together. Got any ideas yet on medical tools? (BTW: if you do go with the orange, check out the orange visor used in Jobatt M'Dano's kit. Very striking, very visible! It might work well here, especially on a medic who needs to be identified instantly.)

[darthmayhem]

medical tools in mind so far consist of two syringes on my left guantlet, and several vials/tubes of either bacta or some chemicals on my right bicep. maybe some form of laser amputation tool, and such. then idk what ill have in the bag yet.

and thanks for mentioning that i wasnt sure if i could do a orange visor or not. but now that you mention it ill take a look

[darthmayhem]

so im debating two seperate helmet themes, but im gonna try them out on a commando helmet, but i will be making some heavy adjustments to it because i hate the back of the commando helm. we shall see how this turns out more pics posted of my antics later

[darthmayhem]

curious i want to paint my plates their color, and have my jumpsuit a gray. so would i be able to paint a templar cross across the plates on my chest in orange? if the plats are gray?

[TrooperJasher]

Colors are really up to you, as is the design. The only limits are the ones that you set on yourself. Of course there are the CRLs but they are more of a guideline. As long as it looks "in-universe" I doubt there will be too many nays

[darthmayhem]

ok but what im really trying to figure out is if the templar cross on my kit would be a no go...

Really don't think so... To me it says "medic" not Templar...!

[darthmayhem]

well i am making a medic kkit lol... but the cross will be broken amongst the plates on my chest.

[Kiel'ani Cardas]

...but the cross will be broken amongst the plates on my chest.

Ahh, that might be easier to get approved! I read up on all the templar-themed kits I could find and they got a lot of flak for "crossover". But If you weren't using a blatant red/white theme, and broke up the cross, I don't see why that wouldn't work. It'd be best to get someone from the app team's approval before you get your heart set on it, though. (I think I've seen something similar on here, so it'd probably fly.)

[Remo Jadd]

As long as it's not a blatant Templar cross, and with the colours you've stated, You should be fine. 

[darthmayhem]

ok does anyone know who i should ask about that, or a link to threads about that kinda stuff

[Kiel'ani Cardas]

Well, Remo there is on the app team, and he says it should be fine. But make sure to post pictures, and often! That way if anyone on the app team catches a no-go they can tell you before you spend too much time on it, and you can make the needed alterations quickly.

If you want to alter the cross a bit, you could skew it sideways, shift the whole thing sideways, alter the proportions, or add extra-wide flares on the ends to make it more geometric and less recognizable. And truly, I think if it's broken up across plates it should be fine.

Here is an old Templar-Themed WIP for inspiration: (Keep in mind that not ALL his ideas were successful!)

These are medic WIPS (which i'm sure you've seen. But give them another look and notice all the variations on the crosses.)

Here's somthing to keep in mind:

"Our clan's alor'ad has a red cross on white armor and a grey flightsuit and vest.  Nobody thinks templar for him... because templar imagery and medic imagery are roughly the same... even though the modern medic field is taken from the Knights Hospitaller (or the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem and Malta) whose order sports a WHITE cross on a RED field (which was also the proper heraldry of Godfrey, Duc du Bouillon, conqueror of Jerusalem at about the same time that the Templars and Hospitallers got started.  So, give it a try.  The worst that could happen is you have to adjust the paint pattern on your plates.  Do some colored sketches for the ideas you have and see what the consensus is.  Sketching also helps you GET ideas, I've noticed."

[darthmayhem]

haha awesome ok thanks for all that ill start delving into this more then xD

[darthmayhem]

*ok so i hate trying to upload pics here anywho few more ideas*

i was looking at medical equipment and such today on wookie and found a few things i will be incorporating into my medical outfit. on my armor, as well as in the medical bag i will be using.

first thing is i want to try and create a bacta grenade
an antidote synthesizer
laser scapel
medical datapad
bone knitter (not sure about this yet but useful)
field cauterizer (not hard concept a pen with gibley on it)
med tape
and gauntlet mounted syringes with bacta and such, with exchangable vials for other drugs
may have a mask as well that can be used as a breathing apparatus(think mass effect asari face mask)
