Drakan Armor 
A Samurai/Vampiric armor

In many movies, comics, anime, etc. dracula is often wearing a nice armor with samurai or eastern traits, as a "Dracul", a dragon, it tottaly makes sense.
I've always wanted something like this, there are already a few heavy vampire armor sets here on the nexus but none would satisfy me.

So i created this, using meshes from zyuu's Samurai Blades Armor, and textures from Prime's Blades Samurai Armour and Kimonos, with a dark, vampiric touch.
This is my first skyrim mod, and i know it isn't anything great but hopefully this will make more talented modders create a better armor inspired in my concept.

The armor is located in a chest in Mara's Eye Pond (vampire lair), its stats are between ebony and dragonplate, but much more lighter.
It looks like a reinforced blades armour, and the helmet is replaced by a cowl which i seemed more fitting. It uses the default nightingale textures.
It can be tempered with the arcane blacksmith perk with ebony ingots and human hearts.
A female version is also included.

Credits

Textures - Blades Samurai Armour and Kimonos by Prime - Full permission
Meshes - Samurai Blades Armor by Zyuu - I couldn't contact Zyuu, but since he is probably an unactive user, and his mod's permissions states that it can be used asking first for his permission, i don't think he has any problems with this. IF he does have i will sadly remove this mod.

Some questions you might have

Q: Why it isn't working for me? 
A: You didn't install it properly, this is just an armour mod so it's nothing complex

Q: Is it lore friendly?
A: As an armor Dracula would wear, being him "the dragon" and the vampire, it could totally be lore- friendly

Q: Can you add/modify X,Y,Z?
A: No, this will be the final version and as i stated, it is mostly made to inspire more talented modders

Q: You just took someone else's work and put it together
A: Mostly yes, i did some tweaks though. If you have a problem with this read the previous answer

Q: The name sounds familiar...
A: Yes, i took it from a RuneScape character, an equivalent of Dracula. It just sounds more evil to me

As a final note i would like to thank the awsome nexus modding community for being the best one, and thank once more the original authors of this mod.
Again, this is my first skyrim mod and i hope you all enjoy it.
