Name: Hogo-sha (Guardian)

Type: Armor (Chain Mail Shirt)

Quantity: One Shirt

Description: A shirt of metallic chains made from a substance unknown but able to be bent by the Kinzoku clan. Being made of individual links this armor doesn't affect the wearer's mobility and dexterity since the links can compress and relax along the folds of the body. This covers the entire chest and abdomen area as well and the arms like a long sleeve shirt, there is also a hood that can be raised to cover all of the head with the exception of the face.

Abilities: The purpose of the chain shirt is to deflect incoming attacks, while it is unable to do anything against ninjutsu or genjutsu it can nullify weaker level taijutsu and brush off some weapon strikes. It is designed to take on large edges so if the opponent were to slash at them the armor would compress and nullify the strike. Most weapons are to large to bypass the armor, the only one able to go perhaps more than half an inch (if the strike was a jab) are those those as slender as senbon which can fit through the links. All taijutsu strikes are half effective as normal with this armor and the wearer can still be damaged through force of strikes. Meaning if someone does a very powerful strike on me with a sword or any other weapon the user simply wont be cut but can be bruised and possibly have broken bones. This is able to be worn under other clothing. This armor is highly durable, requiring three strikes from S rank taijutsu in order to be broken.

History: Forged over the course of many months this set of armor was once worn by none other than Gintoki Kinzoku, the leader of the rebellion that overthrew the tyrant Hagane and restored order to the village hidden in the storm. Gintoki took the time to mine out this special material himself from a hidden chamber beneath the heart of Hel's Playground, that to this day only he has ever been able to locate, and then he made his way to the forge to spend many nights before the raging fires making each link one by one. When he completed the shirt he saw it as a masterpiece and a symbol of the unbreakable resolve he held in his heart. When Gintoki fell in the final battle in the rebellion it was passed on to his nephew Takeshi who has slightly modified it to fit his body personally.

This all goes into the abilities section.

I was just explaining durability so I figured it went in description, if it has to go in abilities I may drop it since I would really just rather not pay and extra 20k for a metal shirt with no abilities other than the basic armor of wearing metal over your body.

This is not the case with durability factor since it is a basic with armour naturally. However it will add to the price none the less depending on the overall durability. If the armour had some kind of enhanced ability, then it would charge 20,000.

Your saying the armor is still indestructible? Indestructibility is a fee, plus the price of it being that way. So that part you need to remove unless your wanting to pay an uber amount for the armor. Once you do that, explain what type of blade it takes to pierce this cleanly since the metal seems to be unknown.

so long as the indestructable factor will only add on 20k to the base price of this armor Im perfectly okay with that. Im in a RPing mood so ryo isnt a problem

And since Dom is quite busy recently Neji shall be taking over this application

What would happen if you were hit by C+ taijutsu? What would the armor do it your were hit in the chest by a large battle hammer (bruise, bones break)?

all tai strikes are half effective as normal with this armor and I can still be damaged through force of strikes. Meaning it someone does a very powerful strike on me with a sword or any other weapon I simply wont be cut but Ill be bruised and possibly have broken bones

Ok, if some body jabs extremely hard can the blade pierce the chain mail? Also, like Dom said what weapons can actually penetrate the armor?

This should sum up pretty much every question you just asked, and is the reason I have to pay the 20k fee

Ok, I dont see anything else wrong in this. Edit in this:

27000 ryo.

Actually, this armor is about 67,000 ryo. The overall durability of every level of taijutsu being halved, along with no blade being able to pierce fully, means that there is 0% chance at piercing the heart or any vital organ for that matter, with any type of weapon. That alone is 20,000 all by itself. Then the taijutsu effect itself, along with the fact that there is a mysterious metal that cannot be named, but can still be bent to clan usage, is extremely costly, 27,000 ryo. Lastly, the indestructability fee. Indestructible Armor in my opinion, probably shouldnt be allowed at all.

Alright then now that I've calmed down and talked to ya on the phone lets try this again. Gonna take out indestructibility all together and just give it a high durability factor. Changing it to beiong able to be broken by a set amount of Taijutsu (editing in now)

Taking out the indestructibility allows that fee to be wiped away completely. Now its just a matter of durability. The durability factor is still high, but with full effects of ninjutsu there, the high taijutsu count doesn't seem as bad. New Price,

32,000 ryo.

After massive borrowing from alternate accounts and a mad rush of missions I can now proudly say I have this amount and want to purchase this armor.

Ryo Deducted. Make sure to add it in your inventory topic.
