Who's Responsible for Coloring this Shield?

[OnyxStrife]

My character's edgy. He's an Au Ra edgelord, some may say. An evil Paladin, wearing deliciously evil black/red gear that matches his black/red hair beautifully. His sword, the Lionliege blade, perfectly accents his evilness. The Mighty Thunderhead Shield, when on his back, is a perfect black/red combination with the rest of his evil armor.

And then I unsheathe my sword/shield and IT ALL GOES TO HELL.

I now have sparks of blue lightning around my shield. BLUE! Everything else is black/red, and the shield is BLUE! It's beautiful when not held, and it's a fashion disaster when readied for combat. Who's idea was it to color a shield black/red that has BLUE lightning around it? That means that in order for your gear to match that shield, you need to have THREE different colors going on with your outfit. Black, blue, and red. Those colors do not look good together at all, I feel like the American Flag if it decided to become an emo.

"Pick a different shield." You say? HA! One that has unique particle effects and matches my color scheme when both on my back and taken out? Wishful thinking, pal.

I tried the Hive shield first, BUT GUESS WHAT? That one is the opposite! A bad ass red particle effect when taken out, but glows BLUE when on my back, clashing horribly with the rest of my gear.

Lionliege shield? NOPE. Black and mostly white when on my back, which also looks terrible with the rest of my colors.

The only other option I can consider is the High Alligan Shield, but all that damn thing does is light up a little bit, no awesome particle effects to be found.

LET ME CHANGE THE COLOR OF PARTICLE EFFECTS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

You don't deserve a good looking shield. Evil Paladins are a mistake and I hope all their Soul crystals detonate

Die, monster. You don't belong in this world!

Found the undecover DRK. Get 'im.

You know, if you wanted to be edgy, you'd just not use a shield at all. The garo shield, far as I recall, is an invisible model, you can glamour that. As a bonus, that makes shield bash just a wicked backhand.

Also if you wanna be really edgy go buy yourself a uraeus coat. Or four.

But the Garo shield's icon is BLUE!

Hey edgelord, how about the Kinna Shield? iirc it shares a model with the Thunderhead Shield, and glows red and black at all times.

Yeah the Kinna Shield should work. It's black and red on its own, and then glows back and red when drawn.

I feel like we need pictures to properly appreciate your dilemma and maximise the entertainment value.

Also if you like the Lionliege glamour, how about hiding weapons when sheathed? That's what I do to solve my worst fashion accidents. Then when you pull out your sword and manifest the shimmering red shield from the vortex created by your seething edginess, it will seem even more impressive.

Get the High Allagan Shield, dye it Jet Black. Get the Zurvanite shield. Get the Kinna shield. There's your Black/Red shield...
