Talk:Kirigasa Varil

Suit of Bureaucratic Mastery

Shogun Varil was always known to disfavor the study of administration outside of the development of new devices or the leading of war efforts. It was with this distaste in mind that he created a suit of "armor" suitable for any bureaucrat While it provides protection akin to tough clothing or possibly a chain shirt, it is clearly not designed for the battlefield.

It is instead designed for the world of red tape and bureaucratic prowess. The suit's fabric is comfortable, but plain, except for a full helm, gauntlets, and devices mounted on the waist. It is animated by a bureaucratic functionary spirit supplied to the Shogun by unknown parties, who provides advice in a formal Islander accent. This provides a bonus to all rolls involving bureaucracy or related areas.

The helm projects essence images of any document that the suit has seen with a thought, automatically translated into Shogunate dialect. The helm thus allows for the user to have access to entire libraries of books, records, and data, and with practice a user can skim documents with ease. The helm also incorporates lenses and earpieces composed of water from the furthest West frozen in the far reaches of the north, which cut through deception in words spoken or written.

The gauntlets use a spring-loaded clockwork system for dispensing high-quality brushes to the user's hands, and a number of autonomous brushes that can take dictation or write at the speed of thought, independent of the user's hands. These brushes can also erase their own ink without a trace. Another mechanism can deploy a retractable seal that makes documents unreadable except to their designated recipients, and specifically cannot be duplicated by charms or artifacts without access to the armor.
