Outfits Associated with Power
Which outfits (or components thereof) evoke an impression of power?
What with Sidious' cloak, Marka Ragnos' gauntlets, and Revan's old robes (apparently from the Star Forge).
It can have a basis in lore or just happen to look epic. Or include possessions that aren't generally deigned clothing. Whatever you want.
Here are some I've always considered fvcking awesome:
1. Jedi robes with a synthleather surcoat (all black): the signature outfit of Luke and Anakin.
2. Hooded Jedi robes: like those of Mace Windu, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Luke later on.
3. Hooded, armorless "Sith" robes: like those of Traya, Sidious, and the Nightsisters.
4. Hooded Sith robes with pauldrons (and maybe a metal collar): such as Vitiate's.
5. Hooded Sith robes with armor built into the torso: like those of Darth Plagueis.
6. Respirators/transpirators: such as those of Darths Plagueis and Malgus (and Ajunta Pall, if anyone thinks it's cooler to show some skin).
7. Hooded, sleveless, red Sith armor with metallic, jointed boots and gloves: like that which belonged to the Dark Apprentice in TFU2's DLC.
8. Red, spiked, hooded Sith armor: like Krayt's (or Marr's–which looks especially sweet with those glowing vents/panels on the sides)... or that of the "Pureblood Sith Lord (Female)" Deco/NPC.
9. Hooded, black, Vader-esque stealth suits: like that of the Dark Apprentice.
10. Tattered robes: like those of the Sith Entity and Dread Masters.
11. Masked full-body armor: 'cause nothing says "don't fvck with the Sith" quite as well as Tulak Hord.
12. Black, hoodless Sith robes with underlying armor and collars: like those of Caedus and Marka Ragnos.
13. Cloaks with hoods and masks (preferably without inane capes): like Revan's (and Kylo Ren's, and Kallig's, and Vindican's, and countless others', and the "Enhanced Assailant" cyber-suit with Tormen's hood).
I haven't played SWTOR in months, btw. Nor do I really plan to get back to it. I'm just curious about what everyone else thinks would make for good character design.
