The skinny, flat-chested witch Magrat, on the other hand, borrows the fearsomely bosomy breastplate of the mythical Queen Ynci the Terrible to go and battle elves, and as a result ends up much more fearsome herself. Because no one told her it's just a decorative "remake" made from a washbasin—it looks impressive. Orphaned Series: Ultimately, the authors decided that the comic just didn't work out and abandoned it after about fifty installments. GURPS has, since at least the third edition, included a sidebar option called "Bulletproof Nudity". It's noted as being suitable only for cinematic or silly games, but includes armor bonuses ranging from 1 for a few strategic patches of skin to 8 for complete nudity... but only for attractive characters!

Found in, of all places, Scrubs. The episode "My Princess", a fantasy retelling of the show, features Carla and Turk mashed together into a single monstrous creature that wears armor, the female half of which falls under this trope. Complete with a nipple. The blood stains on the body were alright... I'm not gonna say they looked life like or anything, but they did the job. Otherwise, there's no real colouring other than the flesh tone on the body. The trope is further referenced with regard to Watchwomen in Thud! when a skimpy skirt and papier-mache armor outfit is found in a collection of stripper costumes. The stripper explains that sometimes men like to see a pretty girl in armor. Angua is confused, as men never seem happy to see her. However, the difference is visible on the lowest-level armor; Daedric or glass armor has almost no difference on men and women.In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Zeigfried's Valkyries have midriff-bearing armor. But then, for Duel Monsters, armor tends to be solely cosmetic. While Samurai Warriors usually plays this straight (when the female warriors wear armor at all, that is), it's subverted with Ginchiyo Tachibana. While the plate parts of her armor would be a classic Breast Plate, She has the good sense to cover everything but her head in (admittedly very well-fitting) chainmail. There is some humor on this subject when the City Watch in the Discworld novels starts recruiting female members and needs to find uniforms that fit them. This eventually becomes a running joke as the City Watch starts including members of all shapes and species, so being "in uniform" means wearing whatever parts of a uniform one can.

When we mention chainmail bikini, your first thought will probably be "Lord of the rings" or "Dungeons and Dragons". Lampshaded in Phyllis Ann Karr's A Night at Two Inns, in which a sensibly dressed warrior woman watches a scuffle between Captain Ersatzs of Conan and Red Sonja, and is appalled by "Sonja's" impractical attire. Overall for the series, it varies depending on the individual armor set. The female Renpolos armor for example is only identifiable as "female" by the fact that few men would willingly wear something painted that cute, The Urugaan set is partially form-fitting with the only skin exposed being the face and Zettai Ryouiki covered by a heavy armor skirt, while the Barioth set is almost as skimpy as the aforementioned Kirin. On the other hand, the Bone armor set is skimpy for both females and males.

About This Game

Taken to extremes in Earth X by Iron Maiden, who's of the molded plate variety. It makes sense to a point, since her power is to shape the metal that encases her, but a concept drawing featured in issue #4 shows not just breast-plate but navel-plate and what looks to be cameltoe-plate. Ouch.

A good example can be seen here, where we see the pictures for the elementalist armors. One can't help but wonder why the female version cost the same amount of crafting materials as the male versions, given that they have about 30% of the fabric. Lost Odyssey's Ming wears a leather corset with Absolute Cleavage and a pair of trousers with the crotch cut out so that you can see her matching leather panties. Apparently, this is normal for a Queen of Numara. Every incarnation I've seen of her she's got that long, red mane of hair and of course, her barely there chain mail bikini armour. In the Slayers movies and OAVs, Naga the Serpent wears the "leather bikini" version, the better to show off her ... talent.

System Requirements

Neverwinter Nights actually has its main NPC, Aribeth, The Paladin Who Doesn't Do Anything, wearing a suit of armour cut so low as to be positively dangerous. Lampshaded in Princess Maker 2. When you go to the armory and try to buy a very stripperiffic piece made of silk (?), the vendor tells you that it may raise your daughter's Charisma, but it covers and protects so few that it's not worth the gold you have to pay for it. You can still buy it, of course, but it does offer much less protection than the others. That's not all. Just take a look at the female warrior/soldier's outfit. [ dead link] Made even more ridiculous by the fact that her class can wear the heaviest armor, but no matter what you put her in, she'll always look like Red Sonja. This look has actually become quite popular, and further Dragon Quest games often have this female warrior as an NPC. Outrageously commonplace in videogames, and usually the defensive abilities of armour correlate with the amount of flesh exposed. Whether they intended it to be rape or not, an early comic where Ramgar (at the least) gropes Marcus's female character did not sit well with readers.

I kinda hope this was male only just to see people begging for the female option Comment by scopel on 2022-12-17T14:24:43-06:00 And here's a picture of the DVD set with Djana on the cover, if you don't want to Take Our Word for It. I watched a respected male SF author get sloppy drunk and make women uncomfortable, fans and writers alike. I was one of them… I had a respected SF writer call me ‘girlie’ and demand that I get him a coffee, before the panel we were on TOGETHER. When he realized I was not, in fact, his coffee girl, he didn’t apologize.”Subverted in the webcomic Chainmail Bikini, wherein the titular set of armor is described as "+1 to AC, +2 to charisma". Its wearer was killed off early into the comic's run, resulting in an Artifact Title. This episode of Nerd Core: The Core Wars explains that the Geneva Conventions "made it a war crime to injure a female anthropoid in the area of the cleavage, stomach, or thighs. Thereby making it unnecessary for women to cover those areas in armor." The Kingdom of Troia in Final Fantasy IV has an all-female army, who wear leotards as their official uniform. The sprite used to represent them is identical to that of the dancers in other places, resulting in this reaction when the player speaks to one of the guards in the castle: "Dance for you!? How dare you! I am a shieldmaiden of the Epopts, not some two-gil performer!" Subverted by Kaff Tagon's father, who made various jokes about Tagon's crotch-hugging armour - to the point that Tagon had a NEW set made which looks more business-like (even if he had to use the tailor robot his father sent to him).
