LE Oppa Dragoon Style!

[Somnazul]

Not only would I love to see dragoon themed armors in Skyrim, but I think the concept could fit in seamlessly with the lore.

Dragoons in many fantasy stories are fabled dragon slayers, dragon protectors if the dragons are good, dragon riders, or at least have fearsome strength to rival dragons. So it seems to fit well with the concept of Dragonborn.The visuals below are for armor/weapon modders either to try to imitate what is shown or get inspiration from them.

 

Larc (Red) - Legend of Mana

A heavy, plate armor with 1H axe. Looks like it would go great with an Argonian or Khajiit dragoon.

Sierra (White w/ Green) - Legend of Mana

Seems more promising as a light armor, especially coupled with dual-wielding knives.

Bangaa (Purple) - Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Plate armor and leather! Interesting design seems more suited for an Argonian due to it already being made for a reptilian race.

Female Hero (Ancient/Tribal?) - Legend of Mana

I always thought the heroine of LoM looked like a mystic type of dragoon, and imagined she belonged to an ancient bloodline.

Duran (Slayer) - Seiken Densetsu 3

Fights in light armor, but strikes with a heavy blade and deadly accuracy. This dragon hunter style fits a Dragonborn dragoon very well.

Kain Highwind (Dark) - Final Fantasy IV

Obviously heavy, knight type dragoon. When I think "dragoon" I tend to think "Kain." He really set the mold.

Stroud (Royal) - Dawn of Mana

Fancy. Stylish heavy armor for a battle mage class dragoon.

Larc, Sierra, and "Female Hero" don't show up.

 

Bangaa Dragoons weren't dragonslayers, but rather, Knights who imitated Dragons. They wielded "Dragon Magic" that worked similarly to Thu'um would, only draining mana instead of causing a SHout Cooldown. It would be interesting to have Z-key based mana spells that had you "spit out" fire, ice, lightning, or FORCE (Bangaa Cry).

 

Further, the Dragoon Class outside of Tactics Advanced isn't actually related to dragon slaying, but rather just the use of a spear/lance and jump-style fighting.

 

Finally, there's a certain dragon you missed: Legend of Dragoon's (These Dragoons are supposed to serve as protectors of dragons, but certainly have the power to defeat them).

I fixed the pictures I hope. And look, when it comes to the fantasy genre, dragoons can be many things. I mentioned that in my second sentence. Like Larc and Sierra being loyal guardians of the dragons and their mana crystals. Others, as you said, use a lance and have a certain fighting style.

I did not list the Legend of Dragoon myself since I did not like their design all that much, but hey, if someone puts them into Skyrim I won't complain.

Found some more designs.

Ricard - Final Fantasy II (Vampire?)
Seems like a decent design for a vampire dragoon with the bat-like helm and viciously dark panoply and spear.

Final Fantasy XI (Basic)
- male

- female

Hobgoblin Dragoon (Elven) - Magic the Gathering
This seems like a great idea for a light, elven style dragoon set.

I'm not giving up on this. Here are some more styles.

 

Burmecian - FFIX (Light and Stylish)

A dragoon wearing clothing instead of armor. This would fit a spell casting dragoon for Skryim.

 

http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/b/bd/EarlyFFIX-Burmecian_Dragoon.jpg

 

 

Kain Highwind - FF IV: The After Years (Sacred)

Incredibly regal appearance coupled with what I would think would be light armor; a dragon scale and mythril mix.

Dragoon - Ogre Battle (Righteous) (Male and Female armors)

The "Justice" dealers of the dragoon class. Always looking to smite evil at it's heart.

Well that can be possible? i mean. Maybe if not 100% lore friendly a dragoon banga armor can fit well on an argonian: using shouts instead of the dragon magic and if not a spear a weapon which look alike. copying from http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dragoon_%28Tactics_Advance%29 :"Dragoons are the most Attack-oriented bangaa Job. They have the highest Attack in the game, high HP and Defense, and average Speed. Their Magic Power and Resistance are the lowest in the game". a bit slow but still unstoppable
