Dohvakiin Armor Concept

EDIT IMAGE

ENDORSE ME 2

 

I was bored to death in my Biology class where I know more than my teacher.

 

So I drew this. ((I APOLOGIZE for the quality, I only have a shoddy webcam, so forgive me as I list everything below))

 

General details:

- Skyforge Steel, Dragon Scales & Bones, Gold Trim

- Chainmail to allow flexibility/movement

- Scales from smoother hide of Dragon (almost leathery like a crocodile)

 

Helmet

- Helm shaped like a dragon, skyforge steel/gold trim

- Dragon Head in front, wings around sides of head, tail curving down back of head; scales on top, very detailed

- Chain (or scale?) connecting wings to tail to prevent an easy neck-shot

- Steel-like swirls/designs on dragon

--- Blessing of Talos for enchantment possibly (allows amulet and actual blessing to stack)

 

- Skyforge/Gold Shoulderplates w/ Talos Insignia

--- Talons at top, pointing out to the side and down (as shown)

- Scale arms w/ chain joints, droops over wrists

- Chain around neck, down to breastbones

- Breastplates almost shield-shaped, with Talos Insignia on each

- Surrounded by 2 toe bones and a partial rib bone around the plates on their outer sides

- End of Dragon's tail down center of abdomen, chain hanging (or scales stretching?) from rib to tail tip

- Back is full smooth dragon scale

--- Thu'um resistance (or if too difficult, simply fire/ice/magic resist)

 

Wristguards/Bracers

- A single vertebrae, hollowed out and around wrists

--- Allows for agile hands; stab+, crit+, or stamina+? Likely Crit

 

Legs/Leggings

- Skyforge Steel fronts (similar to shoulder/breast places) on thigh and lower leg

- Chain joints (chain at knee, at ankle drooping over

- Backing is tough dragon scales (smooth, of course, maybe a bit more spiked)

 

Feet/Boots

- Scale for stamina+, better sneaking

- Possibly rough scales for a design? Chainmail from leggings can hang over

 

Dagger/Greatsword/Shortsword

- Requires an Alduin's Horn

- "Sundered Skin" bleed effect on enemy (razor sharp and rips skin, tainted with dark energies), not Vampiric; maybe drains stamina?

- Ties onto a sanded-down Alduin's Rib using thin rope (not needed to be obtained)

- Requires Black Soul Gem to recharge

 

Warhammer/Mace/whatever

- Requires an Alduin's Broken Horn (possibly crafted FROM a whole horn)

- "Alduin's Dried Blood" effect on enemy, lingering poison

- Ties onto one of Alduin's longer bones via a rope (not needed to be obtained)

- Requires Black Soul Gem to recharge

 

 

Light armor. Light weaponry due to Dragons needing to be light because they can fly. (needless to say, dragon bones and scales are unrealistically heavy)

 

 

 

-----

 

I am completely stuck behind the screen, on the written page. So I can answer ANY questions if you wanna make this a reality.

 

This armor is geared towards realism; why would a Dragonborn wear a heavy armor against a fleet, agile dragon? Why wear something obscuring their mouth? How can you wield things with clunky gauntlets, or get off a horse? How can one sneak with clanking metals?

 

And how can someone get into armor that's full metal and no stretch, by themselves?
