Details

Description: After escaping the petrification spell that bound him for years, Kenzo woke up to find the Heavenly Armor of Guan Yu completely destroyed. Finding himself in need for a replacement, the blue-haired mercenary had a new set crafted specifically for him after making his way back to Fiore, commissioning a skilled blacksmith he met during his travels.

The artisan, known for exceptional work with high-grade steel, took careful note of Kenzo's fighting style and requirements for both flexibility and durability. Using the only remaining shard of the now destroyed Heavenly Armor, the smith was able to imbue a sliver of its divine power within the new set's black steel. The armor consists of a red and black vest with chainmail on the arms, black metal gauntlets, shoulder guards and plated greaves. The armor’s dark, polished finish and rugged detailing make it as striking as it is practical, reflecting both the style and resilience that Kenzo needed for his mercenary work. The armor also boasts a set of metal rings on the base of the shoulder guards, where Kenzo could secure his cape if he so wished.

Its weight is evenly distributed, allowing for easy movement and powerful strikes, while the intricate, red detailed patterns across the chest and shoulders lend a sense of elegance to the otherwise battle-worn appearance.
