Kreiste's Heroic Outfits - Warrior of Light
Samurai
[Skimpy Version here]



This mod adds a set of outfit; themed after the renowned Warrior of Light of foretold legends, The Samurai.

Through the study of Far Eastern martial arts techniques, these lone warriors have learned to devote their lives to their cause and to their blades, the mighty katana.


Artists Notes
(Irrelevant to the mod, no need to read; just my musing during the development of this armor)
Spoiler:

It's time for my Kaidan to get a costume overhaul (Lucien got one looong time ago already). 
I feel like a historically-accurate Samurai armor has been done before which is why I went with full fantasy sort of aesthetic of a Samurai; taking inspirations from many fusion-style samurai look from various games such as Final Fantasy and Touken Ranbu. 

wSkeever helped me a lot during development with his feedbacks. He also wanted me to make a Kabuto but I was too tired by the time I finished this look. Sorry, pal! Besides, I'm not a fan of obscuring hairstyles lol so I definitely favor a menpo/hanbo type of headguard. 

Initially, the Hakama was ankle-length, but I decided to showcase the feet armor (suneate) so I cut it short. Maybe someday I will make a ronin-style Samurai with full-length hakama. 

Originally I wanted to make a pair of wara-aji (straw sandals) but I gave up because it's too hard lol. I settled with a geta (wooden sandals) but with metallic material to match the entire armor set. 

The katana Ame-no-Murakumo is the hardest weapon I've ever designed. I wonder if anyone noticed the Samurai insignia from FFXIV on the tsuba

The name Genji is a callback to the iconic Samurai equipment from Final Fantasy (Genji Gloves). The name Genta came from Final Fantasy, which was an alternate set to the Genji Armor set. I needed a third name for the third set that have same "gen" prefix, but couldn't find any. I decided to settle with Gensou (illusion/fantasy) instead, which I think still fits very well.

The the fan-shaped insignia in the armor motive is ginkgo leaf. In Japanese art (and possibly other cultures and traditions), ginkgo symbolizes longevity; which I think fits Kaidan's endless loyalty to the Dragonborn.

• Genji set can be crafted with Tundra Cotton, Steel Ingot and Leather Strips. 
• For Genta set to appear in the crafting least, you need to have at least 1 Blue Mountain Flower (00077E1C) and the Genji pieces you want to craft. For example, crafting Genta Hara-ate requires 1 Genji Hara-ate and 2 Blue Mountain Flower. Same goes for other pieces.
• Likewise, Gensou Set requires at least having 1 Charcoal (00033760) and the Genji pieces. 

• Use Group Filter in BodySlide and look for BHUNP KHO Warriors of Light SAMCBBE KHO Warriors of Light SAM / HIMBO KHO Warriors of Light SAM to find the outfits.





Please contact me if you'd like to use the assets in this mod or make a conversion. I'd also prefer it if my assets stay within Nexus Mods and/or Vector Plexus.
Additionally, I do not want my works to be edited/modified/morphed/derived for SMMB. I do not want to associate my creation with that mod. Please respect my decision :)
