EL DORADO - It didn't take long for the Jayhawk West softball champion to be determined. Going into the resumption of play in El Dorado Saturday, the Barton softball team needed a sweep of Butler to share a part of the West title.
GARDEN CITY - It's pretty simple math. If a team doesn't score, it can't win. The Barton softball team has been applying that method recently.
It was basically over before it barely began.
Most of the Jayhawk Conference season has been the big three, the middle two, and the rest of the field. The Barton men's golf team was in that middle two group.
This past weekend marked the next-to-last meet for the Barton women's track team before they embark on the NJCAA Championships. Off the heels of a big meet last weekend, the Cougars moved up to No. 5 in the nation.
Sprints have always been a strength of the Barton track program. The Barton men showed just how strong that portion of the team is again this year with dominating efforts at the KT Woodman Classic in Wichita this past weekend.
Softball: Season: 44-4 Conference: 15-3; #10 national ranking
An important doubleheader standing in the way of a Jayhawk West title for the Barton softball team was at Colby Friday afternoon.
The series was moved up once to weather concerns. Then moved up a second time.
With two meets to play, gaining a share of the Jayhawk Conference championship looked like a tall task for the Barton women's golf team. After winning just one of the first four meets, Barton needed to sweep the final two.
It came at a good time. With the weekends filled with Jayhawk West series, the Barton baseball team has traditionally scheduled a junior varsity for a midweek break. A single 9-inning game for a relief from the grueling 4-game grind against conference foes.
The opening day of the second Jayhawk Conference meet wasn't ideal for the Barton men's golf team. The weather wasn't the best and neither was the Cougars golfing.
The Barton women's tennis team knew it had its hands full heading to take on Cowley Tuesday.
It wasn't a day to call home about for the Barton men's tennis team.

Van Czar's newest cut enlists the sultry vocal talents of Sugar Love on his Love Trip EP which is backed by two fantastic remixes. July this year was his last outing with In Vino which received a lot of support. After a recent trip to ADE where he showcased Bonzai Basik Beats, Van continues to deliver the goods as well as running Bonzai Basik Beats Spain and his new radio show Delotux.
First up we have the Original Mix which intros with a tough bass sound and an enticing sultry vocal. The track settles into a full on Techno groove with punchy kicks and super crisp hats alongside that gritty edged bass. The vocals continue to lull you into their lustful grasp and adds a real dynamic contrast to the sound. As the track progresses the groove becomes tougher and the vocals become more sinister in nature as they are pitched down lower and lower. A real powerful Techno slice yet again from Van and no doubt this one will see a lot of playtime.
DJ and producer Josh Love debuts with Bonzai on remix duty. Josh has been around the scene for a long time now and has worked with some of the best in the industry. Here he turns up the heat and dishes out a top notch slice of pure driving Techno goodness. The intro sets off with some very cool punchy kicks as subtle percussions sit back. A simple yet effective note appears and paves the way for some raunchy vocal samples. The track begins to transform as the notes squelch and vocals become more prominent. The break lets loose with a full on erotic scene as the bass notes rise and burst back into full on Techno mode. A monster tune that will be a main feature among many for sure.
Fran Naveaz steps up for his remix and delivers another of his top quality cuts. His last outing was back in the summer with Feeling which saw great support. Here he takes the original by the horns with a classic punchy kick and accompanying percussions. The groove builds beautifully with the introduction of a tight drum arrangement and those fantastic vocal shots. A deep and throbbing bass shores up the rear and beefs up those kicks brilliantly. Various FX litter the groove as the vocals become much more prominent. The track takes a much tougher stance with the sounds and on the break that big stab really takes control. A full on driving Techno groove that will appeal to many.

Since Audio Noir released his debut album, Almost Famous, things have been gaining pace, which led us to gathering top remix artists to work their skills on the superb tracks within the album. Back in the summer of this year Reworked Volume 1 hit the floors running and on the back of that we present to you another round of top quality remixes with Reworked Volume 2 comprising five, on fire producers doing their thing. In the meantime, Audio Noir continues his reign over deep progressive sounds with an upcoming remix on a new Phi & Airwave collaboration as well as a remix on Thorin's Secrets and appearances on various compilations. Always worth keeping an eye on this outstandingly talented artist.
Swedish four piece Inkfish are first up on remix duty with their Promise Nothing Remix of One More Night. The intro comes in with a gnarly, raw organic flavour as heavy keys and grainy flutes set the tone. Punchy kicks soon follow alongside a fantastic distorted vocal sample that really captures the organic nature of the sound beautifully. A smooth rhythmic flow is established with the percussive elements and is further enhanced by a subtle bass that sits back allowing that vocal sample to keep control of the track. Superb stuff that will be a welcome addition to those darker, deeper sets.
Pole Folder & Cedric Piret are up next with their remix of Under The Sun. It's been a while since we last saw these guys, their last outing was on remix duty for Quincy' In Balance back at the start of this year. Since then the guys have been working on other projects as well a DJing at various events. Here the remix gets going with some smooth bass tones alongside a steady building rhythmic percussion sequence. Nice chunky kicks get the progressive vibes flowing as melodic phrases ebb and flow through the track. A deep-rooted bassline adds to the darker element of the sound as we are locked into this wonderful groove. The break takes a surreal sidestep with those melodies converging into a beautiful sequence that leads back into the main track. A truly epic ride with deep and thoughtful imagination, not to be missed.
East Cafe aka Gabor Kaszas debuts on Bonzai Progressive with his superb remix of Midnight Til Morning. Gabor pride himself on producing intelligent sounding progressive house and has been doing so for several years. His works can be found on labels like Silk, Mistique Music, Digital Sensation and Morphosis with support coming from all quarters. Here he utilises his skills to churn out a masterful slice of prog goodness. The intro eases us into the groove with a nice and smooth percussive laden sequence which leads up to a grainy bass synth that sets the scene perfectly. The vocal sits off the main groove beautifully and captivates with its intriguing narrative. The layers continue to build and bring fleeting melodies as well as a pulsing bass that becomes a big feature. Deep and smooth progressive grooves that will draw the attention of many for sure.
Bonzai regular Yuriy From Russia delivers another of his stunning cuts we have become accustomed to with his remix of La Polaris. After a summer of multiple remixes, we look forward to more from this guy. The intro boasts a swelling, rich pad sequence with a harsh clap on the upbeat, a nice well-rounded kick is joined by a wonderful pulsating bass that fills the sound beautifully. Intricate melodies burst out of the deeper groove as arps speckle the sound. A stunning trek into deep progressive vibes that does not disappoint.
Antonio Citarella wraps up this pack with his superb remix of Morphine. We last saw Antonio on our Progrez imprint with Traveller, which was very well received among many. Here he delivers a truly sublime prog experience as the intro lets loose with a metallic arp sequence on top of some lush synth licks and a quite subtle kick. Percussions form up and bring a solid rhythm that locks you into the groove beautifully as those arps relentlessly drive on. Overall, the sound seems quite minimal but a lot of layers really beefs things up giving off a fuller sound. Top notch stuff yet again from Antonio and a definite must in any set.

Blansch debuts on Piston with the fine two tracker, Rap A Mood EP. First up we have Rap A Mood, the intro gets right into the groove with a nice punchy kick and rhythmic percussions that will get the floors moving instantly. The bassline is where it's at here, deep and pulsating at times then full on in your face. Cool modulated synths bring in a tech flavour to the groove as subtle rap vocals sit in the background giving the sound character. A real smooth slice of house with an oldskool tag, perfect fodder for floors all over.
Make It intros with a cool bass pulse and rolling percussions before a spoken vocal brings a much deeper and rounded bass that dominates the sound beautifully. An organic flavour runs through the track with those warm yet jagged edged synths. The spoken vocal is used well throughout and ties up the sound nicely.

Manu and Jurgen team up for the first time on their No Time Left which comes with two superb remixes. As ever Manu continues to deliver the goods from his impressive home studio. His last outing Shadow Of Life continues to perform on charts and download portals with support coming from all directions. Jurgen also remains consistent in the quality department, his Different Faces radio show is gaining ground and his last release Kleine Nyo received a lot of support and gained much attention on download sites. Both artists bring many skills which makes for a very interesting partnership, good to see these guys get together with the hope of more to come in the future.
The Original Mix gets going with a nice punchy kick alongside a fantastic energetic bassline that teases as it fades through. Various FX are expertly placed within the sound giving an airy spacious feel. As the layers build we get drawn into a wonderful tribal driven groove delivered by some stunning percussion arrangement. Ethnic chants are coupled with spoken vocals to great effect bringing something different to the progressive nature of the sound. Such a powerful groove that will be a firm favourite among many for sure.
Loquai is up first on the remix and he delivers another stunning slice of prog which we are accustomed to here at Bonzai. After a short hiatus he was back on Phi Phi & Airwave's Vanilla as well as an appearance on Club Traxx 2 Breaks. Here he raises the bar with a beautifully crafted deep progressive groove. Punchy kicks and a tight percussion arrangement get the rhythms flowing alongside a throbbing bass that sits perfectly within the sound. Bright synths add contrast as the layers build bringing a myriad of sounds.

It's been a while since CJ Art last graced these shores, it was back in 2012 on Nancy Burrello & Digital Angel's Time X. As well as this remix CJ also makes an appearance on Club Traxx 2 Breaks. Here the track intros with a tight drum arrangement filled with punchy kicks, cool FX and vocal snippets which injects a sprinkling of psy. The track lifts off with the bassline as it drives the groove beautifully into the progressive abyss and beyond.

Top notch stuff that will appeal to many.
Tali Freaks is up first on the remix with a truly sublime cut. We last saw Tali Freaks back in May this year with his Set The Sun on Eyepatch Recordings.

The vocals work well and leads us to a smooth stepping bassline that will definitely get those asses shakin. A pure house vibe with a funky undertone that will be a welcome addition in any set.
Manuel Palmitesta returns to Bonzai Progressive on remix duty after his superb remix on Ecco's switch during the summer.

UK producer Capryo debuts on Piston with his superb three tracker Hold Back EP. Based in London and a relative newcomer to the scene, Capryo likes to delve into House and Techno and with this new EP we get a very cool blend of the two with a leaning towards the deeper house side.
First up is the title track Hold Back, nice and smooth classic percussion intro that gets the heads nodding with the booties soon following.

Spanish DJ and producer Jonathan Calvo makes a welcome return to Basiks with his brilliant two tracker Traumatizer. It's been just over a year since we last saw Jonathan with his summer 2013 release The Instructor which performed well.

Darkly sinister whispered vocals toughen up the groove brilliantly as the track goes deeper into the realms of edgy techno. Superb stuff that will be a top pick for those deep dark sets.

A lover of ethnic percussions Mathov has been inspired by and worked with producers such as Airwave, Kintar, Dark Soul Project and Moshic. He recently left behind Uplifting Trance and decided to take his radioshow on di.fm in a more Progressive Psytrance direction. Great to have him on board and we're sure he will fit right in at Bonzai.
First up we have Dark Activity which intros with a sublime tribalistic percussion arrangement alongside a deep, dark growling bass synth that captivates the mind instantly. A nice and smooth drum section keeps the rhythms flowing but the big hitter is the monster bassline and ethnic stringed plucks which offer lots of contrasts. Those tribal drums really take on hypnotic traits as you get lost in this wonderfully deep progressive slice, top notch.

Drop The Bass intros with a classic punchy kick and sharp hat combo that sets the rhythms off smoothly. Rich pads and a very cool synth riff fade through and take us up to the monster bass that really gets the grooves flowing in the track with its raw analogue sound. Classic vocal samples add cool character to the track and will be easily recognisable. The break brings those pads and synths back with the vocal samples being the dominant force before we get slammed right back into this relentless groove. Top notch cut and not to be missed.

Phoenix Suns
Suns' 110-108 loss to the Pistons: By the numbers
The Phoenix Suns' week continues to go from bad to worse with each passing day. In the wake of the news that Eric Bledsoe needed surgery to repair his right meniscus, Jeff Hornacek's squad has struggled to stay afloat without its dynamic guard out on the court.
Friday, Phoenix fell just short in a 104-99 loss at Memphis. And Saturday, it was more of the same, as the Suns found themselves taking one in the loss column for the third time in their last four games. This time, in a 110-108 heartbreaker to the Detroit Pistons.
Here's a look at Saturday's two-point loss by the numbers:
Despite trailing most of the night, the Suns were able to tie the score with just over seven seconds to go on three free throws by Gerald Green. However at the other end of the floor, Pistons forward Josh Smith delivered the final blow of the contest with a contested, game-winning bucket in the lane with 1.2 seconds remaining.
Effort and hustle have quickly made P.J. Tucker a fan favorite during his first two seasons in the Valley. Saturday, the third-year forward was at it again and in rare form, forcing not one but two jump balls.
Rookie center Alex Len has now played in as many games (4) during Phoenix's six-game road trip, as he played previously all season long (4). Len had four rebounds to go along with five personal fouls in the loss.
Tucker also grabbed a team-high 11 boards against Detroit, giving him a double-digit rebounding effort for the fifth time this season. He also finished with 17 points.
Brandon Jennings tied a Pistons' franchise record for most assists in a quarter with 11 in the opening frame.
And speaking of Jennings, the first-year Piston finished an NBA season-high 18 assists against the Suns to go along with eight points, eight rebounds and a steal.
The Suns briefly erased an 18-point second half deficit thanks in large part to Channing Frye, who scored 18 of his team-high 21 points after halftime. Frye connected on five of his 10 three-point attempts in the loss.
The new year hasn't been kind to the Suns on the glass. For the second time in nine days, Phoenix has allowed an opposing team to grab a season-high 59 rebounds. Of Detroit's 59 Saturday, 20 came at the offensive end. The Pistons also scored 68 total points in the paint.
For the first time in 2013-14, the Suns gave up 60 or more points in the first half of a road game. Phoenix did allow more than 60 back on Dec. 13 in a home win over the Sacramento Kings.
Josh Smith wasn't just the hero Saturday night, he was the Pistons' most-efficient scorer. The 28-year-old made 11 of his 16 shots (68.6 percent), marking just the third time in 2013-14 he's shot at least 65 percent from the floor.

History Lesson || Why Women Of Color In The 1800s Were Banned From Wearing Their Hair Out In Public
BGLH writes:
"Did you know that in late 18th century Louisiana, black and multiracial women were ordered to cover their hair in public?" My sister asked me.
"WOW. Really?" I replied.
I'd probably heard of this in one of my black studies classes in undergrad, but who remembers everything they've been taught? Besides, this information felt instantly relevant and I was absolutely intrigued.
With a little digging I found that there was in fact a "law" of sorts that demanded women of color in Louisiana to cover their hair with a fabric cloth starting in 1789 as a part of what was called the Bando du buen gobierno (Edict for Good Government). What these rules were meant to do was try to curtail the growing influence of the free black population and keep the social order of the time. The edict included sections specifically about the changing of certain "unacceptable" behaviors of the free black women in the colony including putting an end to what he and others believed to be the overly ostentatious hairstyles of these ladies which drew the attention of white men, and the jealousy of white women. These rules are called the "Tignon Laws" A tignon (pronounced "tiyon") is a headdress.

Manage Remote Linux Machines from Windows Using KiTTY
Productivity Sauce
Need to connect to a remote Linux machine or server from a Windows computer? Then KiTTY is your best friend. This Telnet and SSH client is a fork of the popular PuTTY tool that offers several useful improvements.
For starters, KiTTY sports the portability mode which allows you to run the tool on a Windows machine without leaving any traces. To enable the portability mode, create a kitty.ini file in the same location as KiTTY, and add the following lines to the file:
[KiTTY] savemode=dir
KiTTY can save multiple session profiles, and the utility allows you to group sessions into folders, which can be useful for keeping tabs on profiles. The ability to handle URLs is another of KiTTY's handy features, and you can configure how the utility should treat links in the Window | Hyperlinks section.
Tired of entering login credentials every time you connect to a remote machine? KiTTY got you covered: in the Connection | Data section, you can specify auto-login details, and the utility uses them to log you in automatically when you connect to a remote machine.
KiTTY also lets you temporarily disable keyboard input to avoid accidental typing, and you can use the Ctrl+F9 keyboard shortcut to toggle keyboard input.
These are just a few of KiTTY's highlights, but the utility has a raft of other neat features that make it a perfect tool for managing remote Linux machines.comments powered by Disqus

"unstoppable listening"
great book from Slaughter. not my favorite in the series but a must. love this author's amazing story telling ability.
I am the mother of three grown children. I own a horse ranch and enjoy listening to Mystery/Suspense novels and Personal Development books.
"great book"
didn't know who dunnit until close to the end. love that! highly recommend this book.
"Another great read"
I really enjoyed the combo of Grant co. & Will Trent. Sara& Will deserve happiness.
"Just keeps getting better!"
Yep, I'm hooked. I'm gonna need a 12-step program when I'm done with all of Karin Slaughter's books.
"A bit disappointed."
Good story line but I found it slow. After reading Pretty Girls this was a disappointment.
"The next in Will Trent series did not disappoint!"
I recently completed Karin Slaughter's Grant County books and now find myself deeply involved and enjoying the Will Trent series. I love the crossover with Sara's character and I find myself hoping that she and Will Trent will end up together the more their lives entertwine. Ms. Slaughter continuously does an amazing job with character development and I really enjoy learning new things about the personalities of Will, Sara, and Lena with the passing of each book. It was a little surprising, given Sara's education and otherwise forgiving nature, that she continues to blame Lena for Jeffrey's s death and I thought it strange for Will to have an aversion to Lena as well considering her similarities with his Atlanta partner, Faith. Perhaps his feelings are more strongly sided with protecting the interests of Sara.
All in all, another amazing read (listen) and I can't wait to start the next one in the series. Karin Slaughter has yet to disappoint and I fear that will only happen when she stops putting her creative mind to paper.
This is a captivating read that quickly reels you in... from the first page it seduces the reader and starts the slow tick of wheels spinning in an attempt to predict an ending. When you're certain you've connected the dots, a curve ball is thrown to keep you teetering towards a finale.
The ultimate unravelling did resolve a little quickly for my taste, hence the 4 stars rather than 5, but all in all an excellent read!
"loved it"
Great book. Full of twists and interesting turns. I highly recommend this book. I could not stop listening.
"and Lena gets away with everything AGAIN"
That's why this book is getting 2 stars for its story. I'm sick of Lena and despise nothing more than a dirty cop who is out of control in every aspect, especially when she's taking innocents down with her, lying her way out of everything. Disgusting.
Narration is superb. Great character voices.
I think I will break from Grant County. Unless Lena is killed off. And come to think of it- I'm sick to death of Angie and she needs to be killed off as well. Not sure which is worse, a dirty cop or a low class whore who emotionally abuses damaged people for fun. Angie has done that since childhood. Both disgusting characters and I think I'm done with Slaughter.
Book Smuggler
"one of the best crimes writers ever."
Loved Broken. This series is my all time favorite series. It reminds me of Criminal Minds!

(Another) NEW STAR WARS OC DESIGN IDEA!
TYPE: Droid.
GENDER: Female/Effeminate personality and outward characteristics and features.
DESCRIPTION: A personal droid (for the below described character) that was cobbled together from parts different makes and models of droid that can be found on/in nearly any junk planet!
The head, torso, and one arm will be of a Protocol Droid like C-3PO, 0-0-0, and C-3PX.
From the waist down is an almost complete Astromech Droid like the R-Serieslike BT-1, Skippy, and R2-D2. It might be a whole unit but the "head" is grafted to the Protocol Droid torso in a way that it can lean forward to stay balanced/level when it moves as Astromechs lead back when they need to move fast.
The other arm that replaces the missing Protocol Droid's is a B2 Super Battle Droid's or higher models in this line as seen during the Clone Wars.
Mounted on the lower back (like a tail) of this droid hidden from view is a secret 3rd arm which is an old B1 Battle Droid's that is always holding onto a small Blaster or Lightsaber-like weapon for sneak attacks.
Over its body this droid wears a mixture of soft-goods and battle armor to both conceal its droid-nature and identity along with added protection in combat. It wears an old busted Mandalorian helmet with the visor missing or an old Blue Senate Guard helmet and General Grievous-like hearing sensors mounted to the sides, noticeably female Mandalorian breast plate and shoulder armor, mounted on the one Protocol Droid arm is a Gauntletlike the ones worn by Jango and Boba Fett with a torn and tattered under shirt covering most of the rest the arm, to help hide the Astromech lower body it wears a long tunic and tabards under the armor plates with a sash/belt at the waist line, on its back is a missile like the one used by Jango on Obi Wanbut not a full jetpack as the Astromech lower half gives it a flight systemalready, and finally over all this armor and clothing it wears a hooded cape/cloak. The coloring of the Droid itself and its armor elements are the same with a Greenish/Gray camo pattern like an ARF Trooper from the Clone Wars with the pattern on the helmet and face looking more like Sith tattoos. As for the cloth-goods a mixture of black leathers and grayish/green fabrics.
Weaponry-wise it'll carry with on its back or in its hands some sort of blaster rifle, a blaster pistol on its hip, several different types of grenades on its belt or on a bandoleer across its chest and shoulder, and built into the Droid itself is aDroideka Field Projector.
Basically this is my female version of my normal sona/OC (PackRat) that is called PR-R63 and might keep and carry over that name to this Star Wars universe version actually... as it sounds very Droid like! Being a series of letters and numbers and all! XD
The idea came to me to create this Droid character after I started reading up on the new rebooted Star Wars Expanded Universe material! Especially the newDarth Vader comics! Which introduce concepts that sorta allow now for characters like I'd dream up to put in the Star Wars universe but if I did it it would be considered Mary Sue-stuff or bad fan-fic territory in the old EU! Like the introduction of characters like Doctor Cylo-IV with his genetic crossbreeding research can allow a genetic melting pot like PR to exist in Star Wars now! XD But, we're discussing PR-R63 here now so I'll get onto hat spurred on her SW's counter part and that was Triple-Zero and BeeTee-One! These 2 new droid are the best thing ever to happen! They're basically the evil ArTwo and See-Threpio! An Astroomech droid decked out with weapons instead of toolsand a Protocol Droid that is "fluent in over six million forms of TORTURE"! I love this concept so much I wanted to create my own! Now we get a droid described up above that is basically an all-in-one-unit! It has all the tools and equipment of R2-D2, the intelligence of C-3PO, the built in firepower of a Super Battle Droid from the prequels, with the pop-up shielding of those rolling spider-legged Droids, the body armor of the bad-ass (well in the old EU) Fetts, and the robes of a Sith! Also, I kind of liked the look of Grievous's Guard Droids with the fabric hoods on them so that's why this thing has all this clothing on it! Finally, besides making it a SW version of my character PR-R63 I decided to make this Droid be female but still be a sorta hulking war-machine because i like the weird contradicting nature of the personality to what it does and what it was made for! Like Jane the Securitron AI from Fallout: New Vegas! A giant war-bot but with the persona of a Playboy Bunny! Well, in the case of PeeAr-ArSixThree here it'll be more the persona of someone like... Vasquez from Aliens, or Fox from Wanted, or the best and easiest example for her personality in pop-culture would be simply Catwoman aka Selina Kyle from anything Batman! More or less PR made her to be a helper and for personal entertainment to give him a bigger ego!
Species: Squib or Mhingxin or Jenet or some sort of hybrid of 1 or 2 of these species!
Maybe if I don't go the rodent species route but the plant than maybe a Zelosianor Affytechan or M'shinn(i) (maybe just using their moss) or a rouge Oasis Child(ren) or Sylphe (this one sounds like a highly likely one) maybe hybrid with one of the rodent ones.
With some new reveals of the new EU might be a super hybrid of many different species like Yoda's!
Physical Characteristics
Height: 2.2 meters
Skin color: Green
Distinctions: Plants, Long lived, Vegetal species, Reptilian, Reptomammal, High psychic abilities
Hair color: Reddish/orange
Eye color: Yellow/Red
Biological classification Designation: Sentient
Classification: Plant/Reptile/Mammal Hybrid
Habitat: Jungle/Swamp
Description: A genetic combination of several different alien species like the work of Cylo. The head is where all the more obvious crossbreed species features are going to be seen with ears like Yoda's, the horns of a Zabrakhaloing the top of the skull, 3 lekku more like those of a Togruta than aTwi'lek's with poisonous stingers at the ends, fairly long reddish/orange human-like hair, 3 different types eyes like a Gran that all are corrupted Sith yellow/red, green fuzzy skin like that of Lepi, and the lower face is covered and hidden by a specially designed Kel Dor breathing mask(described down below).
The torso is Near-Human with a thin layer of Wookiee hair on the sides and back. His chest and back are covered in Sith Tattoos. A good portion of the abdomen is hidden by the breather mask's life support unit.
The right arm is mostly that of a green Trandoshan with scales of a Firewormand a 4 digit hand like those of the Kel Dor.
The entire left arm is a cybernetic prosthetic just like those of General Grievous and Karbin.
The pelvis is covered by clothing and armor plating but he's got digitigradelegs like a Lasat with the species feet too or like how Grievous's are depicted before his augmentations. With hand-like feet that allows him to fight in unique ways.
On the sides of the ankles are a pair of red Toydarian wings. He's got a Ryn-like tail that he wraps around his waist to hide it and can use it like a 3rd(4th technically) arm.
Apparel: Beside the breather mask and life support unit this creature also wears a T'doshok skin hooded cape, a single Cortosis Gauntlet on his right arm, a Wookiee pelt long tunic and tabardswith a silk sash/belt at the waist line, a codpiece like Vader's, pants like Vader's as well, and shinguard(s)too, and also opened toed Rocket Boots.
Weaponry: He carries 3 Lightsaber-like weapons. The 1st being his primary weapon a custom made Lightlance with a 4 bladed(red and blue) end thatangled all 4 blades together forming a large single blade(purple) when closed but could be opened up into a spinning impeller/propeller-like attack sort of like the Inquisitors' sabers.
The other lightsabers(green) are a fairly common looking ones that he uses only in 3 ways. The least common ways are being duel/triple wielded with his primary one or if he damages or looses his lance. But their most common uses are in a special blaster. They works sort of like a muzzle brake in that it attaches to the rifle's barrel, but its rifle is more like a Caulking gun in design in that the blaster is just a handle, stock, and a muzzle with a breech for thesabers to be placed in. The Lightsaber provides the power the blaster and it fire basically Lightsaber blades instead of charged blast.
The cybernetic left arm qualifies as a weapon for 2 reasons; 1st being there's a 4th hidden lightsaber(red) build into the elbow that can be used for quick sneak attacks, and 2nd the hand and forearm can split in 2 and form an extra arm that can wield the other weapons.
UPDATED IDEA: I came up with an idea for a masked character or well a gas-mask for a character.
Taking some from Immortan Joe of Fury Road fame with the skull face. The idea is another skull like mask but the lower jaw is hanging open and theoxygen tubes are coming out of the mouth and are twisted and wrapping around one another along with exposed wires and phone cords, and 2 air bladders that connect to a life support box like the one on Darth Vader's chest, but it's mounted over the wearer's stomach attached to like their belt or is coming out of their stomach area. The main idea of this design is to invoke the look of either a skull vomiting up its intestines or its a person eating their own guts.
A green skinned(fuzzed), old helmeted/masked, Sith tattooed, alien,cyborg, possible Force user, and Lightsaber-user.
Picture a green, shirtless, Darth Maul, with an old custom painted Stormtrooper(or maybe Mandalorian) helmet or like Darth Vader's original designed one that was longer and more rodent-like, elbow length glove on the right hand, a cyborg left arm something similar to General Grievous's, aprehensile tail, black robe like clothing from the stomach/waist down, and a jet pack or rocket boots like Cad Bane , but opened toed to show clawed feet.
Basically, my regular OC of PackRat translated into the Star Wars universe! I'd actually like to create both a 100% accurate to what can exist in the SWU and just PR in cosplay with all his normal features intact, but with Sith tattoos, a Grievous cyborg arm, Sith robes, lightsabers, and some sort of helmet that covers his whole head and face.
The top ten things YOU didn't know about Darth Vader's suit!

Sky News said viewers watching in real-time 'would not have noticed'Credit: David Jones/PA
The Telegraph reported earlier today that Sky News had "used an image of the social networking site Twitter, which revealed the name the victim" within a report on the jailing of footballer Ched Evans, who was convicted of the rape.
In a statement Sky News confirmed that last night's coverage did briefly contain the victim's name but that "if watching in real-time viewers would not have noticed".
The broadcaster added that it would "like to apologise to the victim and her family for any distress caused".
On Monday North Wales Police issued a statement to say officers are "aware of reports of comments on social media sites and are collating all relevant information which is currently being reviewed".
"As and when criminal offences are identified on such websites they will be dealt with robustly and arrest made if appropriate and the offenders will be brought to justice. We find this to be profoundly disturbing and are determined to seek out those responsible."

Making music improves behaviour
A child's behaviour can improve as a result of them being encouraged to make music, research has suggested. Conducted by undergraduate student Rie Davies and academics Dr Maddie Ohl and Dr Anne Manyande from the School of Psychology at the University of West London, the study found this form of activity can have a positive impact regarding both pro-social behaviour and problem-solving skills.
The study presented last week at the BPS Joint Cognitive and Developmental Psychology Section annual conference in Reading built on existing research (Kirschner and Tomasello in 2012) that found making music significantly improves pro-social behaviour in young children.
The investigation was comprised of 24 four-year-old girls and 24 boys of the same age and revealed helpfulness among both female and male participants who played music was improved by more than 30 times compared to those who did not do so.
It was demonstrated that taking part in these classes resulted in youngsters becoming more likely to cooperate and to solve problems successfully.
Ms Davies stated: "Music making in class, particularly singing, may encourage pupils with learning differences and emotional difficulties to feel less alienated in the school environment."
The study builds on previous research - Joint Music Making Promotes Prosocial Behaviour in Four-Year-Old Children by Kirschner and Tomasello - which found making music can improve pro-social behaviour.
The 2013 Joint Annual Conference Cognitive and Developmental Sections conference is taking place at the Univesrity of Reading and will run from the 4 – 6 September. The full programme can be accessed here. You can also follow the conference on Twitter.
