armor: What kind of armor does your OC wear? Is it well kept? Bonus: where does it come from? Is there a story behind it?

OC Asks: Character Design Edition !

When Ziv had been seventeen she had finally made her way back to Marfa where the Murakami Orchid Sapling had lured her to with dreams. Picking up the Orchid and with that becoming their warden, the Tynnan realized that she would need to be able to defend herself and fight against people who would be interested in the Orchid as a key indriegent for a ritual for imortality, in fact she would need to face and fight sith if it was needed. And sith used lightsabers. So she realized she needed to be able to defend herself from lightsabers. For this she traveled to the outer rim and let herself be hired by a crime syndicate boss who in exchange for her service as a Healer organised for her a cortosis vembrace as cortosis could block blasterfire and deactivate lightsabers by touch. A very good weapon for someone trained in makashi. However, Ziv did not realize at this time that said Crimelord did not intended to ever leave her out of her debt to them, so Ziv ended up working two years for them until she eventually fled with the help of the wookie mallaari. The wookie Mallaarri, working with wood and carving statues, was one of the crimelords favorite artists. Eventually Ziv and Mallaarri met and as Ziv understood shryriiwook due to having  a Wookie-clanmember and Mallaarri did not needed to use his translator droid around her, they became friends and eventually closer very soon. As the Wookie especially loved to craft children-toys and Ziv always worked on the side as a midwife this was the part where thy grew especially close. In their time together Mallaarri helped Ziv carve small signils in the form of her Master X’Ma, Malkhaz and master Yoda out of the Brylakwood growing on her lightsaber as a remembrance of them which she bounded to the end of her lightsaber as talismans. Only staying together for one year Mallaari eventually helped Ziv sneak away out of the Crimeboss reach with the help of another of his client and they made their goodbyes. There is still money set on Zivs head fom the crimelord, but for now Ziv had not been caught and the cortosis-vembrace is her most precious posession as much as she has possessions.

Ziv nolonger uses her lightsaber, but as she is a Master of Consitor Sato she can freely manipulate the pieces of Brylak wood in the lightsaber. Accordingly she usually uses it as a handguard for the Makashi-styled-lightsaberhilt, but can also grow it into bigger shield pieces if she needs it to. As Brylak wood can withstand blastershots and for some time even ligtsaberstrikes, Ziv uses this woodpieces occaisonally for protection and grow them into big pieces to hide herself and patients behind in bigger battles.
