A couple questions about Au Ra

[Bright-Flower]

Speaking of the hardness and flexibility of the scales they seem to be hard but not to the point where they would hamper the movement a ninja or a monk would make. If you look at the female Au Ra's rse you'll notice one heel is exposed to show a scale section. A lot of the the scales do seem to be covering important areas that other races would protect with the use of armor. Yet with the Xeala at least you have two whole tribes that leave a lot of areas exposed and if one were to actually accept that the armor one can get from the second dungeon is what those Raen use as armor then again there's a lot of areas that are exposed. I say those as there seems to be at least one Raen clan that isn't as secluded and doesn't live under the water since both Yuki and Akagi both wear armor/clothing that covers up most of them.

I would have a hard time seeing the Shisui gear as actual armor for any race.

Well it could be ceremonial armor that's more so for show than actual function. Since many don't seem to know they're there and well you'd have to be able to either hold your breath really good, be an aquatic race like the Kojin or get that blessing. The tank set and some of the melee do have more padding on the tops and arms.

Ceremonial maybe, but a bit of padding in the arms doesn't do much when your gut is exposed. Cloth armor can be effective like a gambison but these outfits don't look like that. I think the outfits are definitely more for show than function, even the tank one.
