Claymore is, too me anyway is a fantastic anime/manga that I enjoyed when I picked it up out of curiosity from the start. best £16 I bought for a while and all the episodes in one did I watch back-to-back and boy did I enjoy it.

 

I have read some reviewed and "otaku" opinions on the animation styles, storyline and so forth and Claymore had a mixed, mostly positive result in comparison on the whole grand of schemes with similar animes.

I have not seen a lot of anime as much as I should have but Claymore has hit me in the heart as did Hellsing did a year previously and I yet to see another anime that does the same.

 

Anyways - the Claymore universe would loosly fit into Skyrim, the whole lone Warrior wanding the highways and byways of Skyrim, moving from village to village, forking out Yoma (dull purpley yellow eyed demons who ate the flesh of humans- much like Vampires but alive and have a strechy arm thing going on) where ever they are.

Claymores are the name given to the 47 female warriors who wield big ass greatswords and wear tight-fitting but not at all skimpy suits and shiny steel? armor including paldrons, metallic skirt, similar to Skyrim Elven armor seen on both male & female armors, gautlets and boots. Each female warrior has her own unique symbol & name to distinquish themselves from one another as the majority of these ladies appear similar in appearence due to thier nature.

 

You see, these laides are half-human. In order to be effective in combating Yoma who typically posess super-human stregth, agility and keen refelxes aswell most of the time sharp claws and teeth, on occasion wielding a sword. Claymores are "impregnated"? with Yoma flesh & blood and thus given enhanced strengh, agility and other powers. Theire naturall hair color changes to a patinum blond color, ther skin color turns pale & their eyes turn a shining silver color which gives them the nick-name "Silver-eyed witches"

 

The downside of this is that the Yoma flesh becomes part of them and also corrupts thier mind body and soul. In order to use these new found powers, they must undergo rigourous training, meditation and so forth in order to get access to these powers. When they use these Yoma poweres or "Yoki" as they are called, the Yoma flesh & blood take effect and whist they have greater power in thier fighting skills, abit of themselves falls pray to the Yoma side and thus they must limit themselves when fighting.

 

When they access these powers a little bit (10%) they eye colors change from Silver to Yoma yellow like a cats eye and glows. Each time they engage in battle with anything and use thier Yoki powers, thier Yoma sides become more dominat and thus they have to struggle to maintain thier humanity and Yoma urges, desires and powers. If they use too much of these powers, thier Yoma sides become more evident and thus thier appearnce, bodies and mid become more Yoma like and thus "Awaken" into a more powerful being of Yoma and beynd. More experienced Claymores make more powerful "Awaked Beings" and each Awakened being tends to have an unique appearance and skill set.

 

The Claymores all have rankes , in the anime its ranked from 1 to 47 with ech Claymore assigned a number based on thier experience and skill. The top 10 tend to be the most powerful with number 1 being unquestionable skill. All the female claymorews, although tend to have light/platinum blondhair, fair complexion & silver eyes, have thier own personalities, hair styles and moods to define themselves as well as specialised fighting techniques e.g. quick sword, phantom rush, fast regeneration and so forth.

There are two types of Claymore classes, Attackers and Defenders. Attackers are offensive and specialse in various attacks but cannot regenerate lost limbs (forgeot to mention that Claymores have fast healing rates) whist Defenders have great defensive techniques and have immpressive healing rates.

 

The Claymores are actually part of a bigger mysterious Faction only known as the Organisation who creates, trains and governs the Claymores in what they do, order them to go or when to report back. They seem to live in a remote island surrounded by mist and only accessable by boat (much like Castle Volkiner in Dawnguard if you played it)

The heads of the Organisation have a wierd appearance who seem to be dressed all in Black robes/clothes and sit in a circle of sorts with various Claymores standing guard. There are dudes who are tasked to seek out vrious claymores around the land who are thier "handlers" of sorts who provide rders, equipment like armor, money and specialist items related to special assignments and such. These guys tend to dress in Black and I think they are skilled warriors themselves, uch like rogues. I think I'll call them agents.

 

Plonking them in Skyrim, traveling the countryside and cities would add a unique feel to Skyrim whist remaining semi-lore friendly.

I like the Claymores to that fact that they are *sexy* in thier unique Armors whist at the same time they are powerful and so on.

 

There *were* male Claymores, but female ones are the mainstream now. The male ones Awakened due to the use of thier Yoma poweres was too close to sexual experience and females tend to be more resistant to these experiences.

 

Anyway again:

 

So far: 7 Claymore Companions in the works based of several key characters like

- Clare - Number 47

- Teresa - *Former( Number 1

- Galatea - Number 3

- Helen - Number 22

- Jeane - Number 9

- Undine - Number 11

- Deneve - Number 16

 

This mod is based on Volek's "Riverwood Mercenary Guild":

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12400 - no longer available because Volek has taken it down but s'he did say this was free to use. If this is not the case, then I will try and make a workaround.

 

Im also looking into making Roaming Claymores across Skyrim & making Yoma either out of retextured Falmer & Goblins in a upcoming Bethesda DLC.

 

If anybody is willing to help, throw me a PM! Id love to make these gals more like thier Anime appearances and hair styles but Vanilla Skyrim can only do so much. Im using Apachi hair also naturally but no other female mods excelpt Xenus enhancers but staying true to the Core Skyrim feel as what I want.

 

Will provide Screenshots of stages.

ADEC? I am still unfamilair with the range of female body replacements ever since the Caliente body was first released and still use an early version of that.

 

Its not me who is rigging the armor either - I am just providing screenies for teaser purposes.

 

A mod is expected to be released before Christmas - with the permission of the author who is creating the Skyrim model.

So, how will this be done?

 

1) Will you at one point get in contact with the "organization" and undergo the surgery to becoming a claymore?

 

and after that:

 

2) Start taking contracts?

3) Have a personal handler who collects your money?

4) Have an anoying human side kick who is pritty much useless all the time? (lol =P)

5) Will there be a Yoma state (yellow eyes...etc)? If so, will it probably be like the vampire lord transformation mechanics?

6) Talking about Yoma state, can you awaken?

7) Will we fight awakened beings, if so, will it probably be similar to how we encounter dragons in game?

8 ) Talking about awakened ones, what about the abyssal ones?

----- I could easily immagine this being a good way to implement factions -similarly to Dawnguard v Vampire Lords and storm cloaks vs imperials. In this case; Abyssal ones vs the Organization.

9)How will the abbysal ones look like, if you plan on implimenting them? And how will their powers work?

10)Do you plan on implimenting defensive/offensive types and Yoki manipulation?

11) OH, and what if you have a male character?

im still waiting on hearing back from the author of the Armor mods I posted here. until then, im not really sure of any sort of file to be released nor commetied time to allocate to create a huge mod of quests factions and so forth although i have done a lil work on the side in case of this.

 

Real life also is a key player Im afraid cos Studies and so forth are a factor
