Sarine Elle

Revision as of 00:22, 23 January 2006

Sarine is an elven ranger. She has two swords. She is almost 3000 years old.

A long, long time ago, Sarine had a human mate and was pregnant with a half elven baby. Now, as a ranger, she hunts half-elves for a living.

Armor

(The following text is quoted from Michael Poe in this thread.)

"Does anyone have the faintest clue what the back of Sarine's armor looks like? 'Cause it affects how I can make the chest plate and the poltrouns. Also the leg guards, but those look pretty basic, so it shouldn't be TOO difficult to figure it out... "

The front and back torso pieces are connected by straps at the sides and rests ontop of a separate piece that covers her neck and collar bone (the shoulder pads are also connected to this part). The back of the leg guards are just straps as is the underside of the upper arm/shoulder parts.

And under those pieces is just a tight-fitting, black shortsleeve shirt, pants and a pair of leather boots (no high ass @$@#@#@%$*&&*## heels on them).

The armor started out as leather but each time I colored the thing it came out looking more and more like metal so that's what I'm going with now. The darker blue parts are light weight metal plates riveted onto layers of leather (that's actually what the lighter blue parts, that end up looking more like some sort of trim, are suppose to be) for padding and to sort of quiet the armor a bit so there's no metal parts loudly clanking on other metal parts.

"In fact, Poe appears to have changed armor designs at least twice, especially considering that when she's fighting the monks, Sarine's cloak is of a different design and is worn UNDER the armor, at least that of the upper body."

Yes, the armor she was wearing in that flashback was a completely different, heavier elven made armor... I don't have any decent pictures of atm since I'm still playing with its design... and yes, the elves really like flowing cloaks and kilts/skirts and incorporate them into their armor designs no matter how impractical it may be.

"Now, in all of this, we haven't been allowing for specialty Elven-forged metals, but rather have been speaking as though her plate were simple steel. If we allow for specialty metals, though, then the entire argument becomes moot... once we change the rules there's no way to tell what's possible and what isn't."

Actually her current armor is human made and about a hundred years old or so.
