Overview

Templar Jensaarai carry on a time-honored tradition of their precursors; crafting unique suits of armor, with aesthetics or traits that evoke a certain totem animal. These customizations sometimes go a step further than simple cosmetics, and may add a unique capability based on the totem animal.

Prompt

In 500 words or more, with your character of choice, describe the experience that inspired their choice of animal totem. If this creature inspired specific traits of a suit of Jensaarai armor, describe them, and what modifications your character may make to their armor to emulate them.

For example:

• a Jensaarai inspired by birds of prey might ornament the armor with feathers, or install custom optics to their helmet to emulate their exceptional vision

• another inspired by bear-like creatures might wear a large pelt, with the armor emphasizing their raw physicality

• a Jensaarai who prefers to work in groups might emulate the communication abilities of canine pack hunters

As a guideline, entries should prioritize adhering to realism guidelines and keep modifications within the scope of armor mods in the Possessions system - creative interpretations of armor mods already available to members are preferred.
