The metal is finished with a bright polish, making it shine like glass, catching and amplifying any light that caresses it. Covering the wearer from neck to toe, this fullplate is composed of thick plates of metal bound together with leather strips, hinged so as not to restrict movement. Engraved on the right shoulder plate is a perfect circle. Superimposed on this circle is a longsword, with a slender rose entwined around it. Flanking the sword are two angels, forming the Bloodrose crest. Just... off the top of my head. | ||

Bits of fur and leather can be seen clinging to the plates, and each joint is a disarrayed mess of chainmail, leather and other unidentifiable things. Scrawled clumsily across the front in a failed attempt at elegant calligraphy are the words 'I am not cute.' | ||

It's not all over the place, but only in one or two places where chainmail and 'complex pivoting thingies' are needed because leather is too fragile or not protective enough. I've looked at a suit of full plate and seen it. | ||

I've looked at a suit of full plate and seen it. FINE! An intricate suit of fullplate armor Your eyes are dazzled by the sheer complexity of this suit of armor. Instead of large plates, this armor is made up of thousands of little bits of metal, each cut into a unique shape, creating a mosaic-like effect. Inlaid into the metal are golden threads, forming the words 'Sir Indiana Bloodrose' in beautiful flowing script. Between the creases of each plate, you can see bits of chainmail, and complex joint mechanisms whose workings you can only guess at. IS THAT BETTER, CRITICS?! | ||
