Battle Rattle — Description
Hey, it's Jen!

Surely the fancy jacket gives it away, right? She's there though, buried under all that cool gear. What kind of cool gear you ask? Well, let me explain.

Jen's wearing a Vac-capable protective suit, instead of her usual leggings and leotard/vest get up, and on top of that, she's got a mix of 'C-class' (soft 'riot' armour, for defence against minor melee attacks, bumps and cuts etc) on her legs, and heavier, rigid ceramic polymer 'B-class' armour over her torso (specifically the Han-Feng 'Turtle' articulated body armour.) With her cool jacket overlaid atop that, and her head protected by a 'Pallas Athene' type combat helmet, with a 'Marathon' onboard tactical array, and more sensors, targeters, processors, and other fancy gizmos than you can shake a stick at.

She's armed with a Stelkov arms VP2A79 'Barracuda' plasma rifle, and, just visible on her left hip, a Nakajima NX-90A3 pulse pistol, a lethal/less-than-lethal pulse pistol, for sorting out people who she needs alive. The natty 'boots' are expensive Solaris 'Windrunner' trainers. They're technically civilian shoes, but Jen's had them modified with emergency grav-anchors, for if local gravity fails, while she's on a spacecraft. I should probably mention that this outfit is actually Jen's non EVA space-combat suit. What she'd wear if she was boarding a spaceship, or fighting on an orbital colony or some such. The helmet actually includes a sealed face-mask with closed breathing apparatus, so, with the vac-suit, and that mask, she's fully capable of surviving in a vacuum.

If she were going into heavy fighting on a more terrestrial environment, she'd probably wear her normal clothes, with the body armour, and some lighter, easier to get out of footwear. (remember, she likes to fight barefoot. The fancy boots are purely for use in space-combat.)

Anyway, waffle aside; I really enjoyed this one. The shading's a bit off, and the anatomy isn't great, and frankly, my technical design skills could use some work, but, I enjoyed drawing this anyway. Hope you enjoy
