Description  Humanoid Class Dragon Armor
Materials used: Iron/steel, Cotton, leather.

[Information]
    This Dragon armor is a custom built armor made form Tribal shields form of the Mortal aboriginal humans of Australia. The Dragangurru whom adorn this makeshift armor are measured carefully and the process of drawing and making dragon armor for clients is done with creative long term thinking in mind. Once measurements and scaling is done, the next process is to make the armor and also have the Dragangurru get fitted on multiple occasions in order to get it just accurately. Do to the oddity of Dragangurru having very close shapes to the actual Kangaroo/Gangurru, it is often a minor difficult to get the correct front torso plating done while the back plats are being worked on. There is actually a closer to being a one size fits all dragon armor do to the few Dragangurru species known about. Yet often it is still treated as though there is still no one fit all armor.
     Current guess work form the Pros and Cons may vary as not all armor may preform the same in the field, Dragonkin armoring is just as at times costly if not more so do to what they are up against and if armor is even worth making.


 Historical lore: The Dragangurru armor is not heard of in aboriginal Australia until the grate Emu wars. A silly war yet a war none the less that the Mortal penal colonist Humans, that settled the land, conducted a large war against the animal Emu population. Mostly targeted for elimination due to crops being eaten. Yet at the same time, this was used as a bit of a side staging point as the Dragangurru and Australian war started up in the background and was never talked about.

    The War between a Australian Dragon Slayer organization and the Dragangurru started just with in a week of the Emu wars being declare. At this time it was known that the Blacksmith was also in the area and granting the Dragangurru armor based off of the shields and masks and items given to him. All of which was made form naturals materials and the way they made it by hand as he documented the naturals glues and things used to make it that was within the land. He also made several Metal variations of it.
    When the war happen the Dragangurru/Emu war vs the Penal Colonist settlers/Australian Dragon Slayers began their full on attack and elimination of the others. Just like the Emu wars having massive animal death yet no human death, the battle would be won by the animals. Yet when it came to the Dragangurru, the fight was not with massive Dragangurru deaths, yet with massive Mortal human Dragon Slayer death that lead to the near and complete wipe out of the Australian Dragon slayers organization.

    Due to the hush hush nature of the Penal Colonist Australians whom rather have lost a war to animals and not sentient so called "Savage and uncivilized primitives" the Goverment bomb multiple Dragangurru native populations and cultural sights. Making sure that a cultural genocide would occur. Yet the Blacksmith whom was in the area whom befriended one of the Dragangurru and with grate desire to keep them alive would conduct a similar relocation/preservation action he has done before with the Native Dragons of America, as he moved the willing Tribes population of those whom could still teach and remember to the DRDC lands and help reboost their population and save what little was left of their way of life and history. Form what the Blacksmith says he did it just for their armor, yet truly he did it for everything about them.
    Most Australians do not know about the Dragangurru-Dragon Slayer war, as only those whom have ties to the Dragon Slayers themselves loath the Dragangurru with a passion, and have not let go of their hate for the Dragon Blacksmith for getting involved and screwing over humanity. Still to this day there are few left whom want the Dragon Blacksmith dead, and those in governments position have made it clear for him in particular to keep his noise out of their busyness.

    Truth be told, the population of the Dragangurru did suffer a lot form the bombings, yet have shockingly bounce back due to their evolution to the outback and having suffered many times near extinctions in their past. Now with the new armor, it has become quiet apparent that most Dragangurru are enjoying the new addition to their culture thanks to the Blacksmith taking the shields of mortals and making a type of make shift armor form the crafting and have turned the Armor into a work of art and use it to tell a story with painting of what they seen and where they been and done. The Dragangurru in both now the DRDC and Australia have welcomed the Blacksmith as one of their own and find his predicament of having multiple female dragons constantly seeking him to be that of pure enjoyment to hear about and see.
    The Dragangurru call the Blacksmith "The beloved by Dragons" or "Smith whom is loved" yet mostly call him a singular word that basically calls him in a long sentence "He whom has grasp the affection of those around, yet remains distant as those whom focus on their craft." A strange title yet name that only Dragangurru whisper.
    
    The Armor itself is indeed magical in nature spiritual as well durable. The first armor made was worn by a few, yet soon many adorn it including the friend of the Dragon Blacksmith. So far it has become a cultural  armor and very diverse in shape and form, yet it is well known in Dragangurru history. It is often consider armor made by the ancestors that blessed the hands of the Blacksmith himself, many Dragangurru take an apprenticeship as his student. He has a total of 14 and has often challange them, and their pacients by having them work on wood and leather armor to textile cloth armor before he trains them in blacksmithing. He is often very forgiving for them and often does not care if he haves them skip the other forms. He teaches them magic enchantment and often lets them know when they are done under his teachings as he haves them grow on their own as most blacksmith due. Most Dragangurru are masters of their craft, yet often like to praise and make the blacksmiths life a little miserable by teasing him about the amount of Dragoness that desire him. There are a few Dragangurru females whom admit to have spark of interest in him, yet like to keep their distance for a while.

Cultural Artifact: The Dragangurru armor is fairly new and is not much of a cultural artifact in terms of when it was created. Yet it is well known to have become an artifact of culture by the Dragangurru who still live in the Australian outback, and have desired to teach a few people a lesson in humility form time to time while wearing such armor. It has become some what of a right of passage to those whom become warriors, some make a bit of a hop to the Dragon blacksmith to bless their armor or their elders, while some gain approval by a community form proving themselves as a hunter or showing grate bravery around onlookers. To stand up against a bully and protect an innocent is enough at times to grant one good reputation to get the blessing for the armor they wear. It's value tends to be very symbolic at times, and has been mostly worn by Dragangurru that protect travelers whom walk on foot form place to place.
    This armor has been stolen and ended up in the Human museums yet was later acquired by and returned by a third party whom secretly bought the collection himself. The armor and the other variations of the armor are now on display in the dragon museum in the DRDC and many copies and blueprints are held with in the Dragon Vault. It is well known by the 21st that most Dragangurru have stopped wearing the armor in the Australian outback and as well started to migrate more and more into the DRDC lands no longer finding it fit to live in. There are only 2 tribes left in the land while most now inhabit the DRDC.

Cultural Value: Due to the abundance of Dragangurru armor, it is often expensive or not as expensive to acquire depending on the seller. For Dragangurru it is not something for sale, yet often that of handed down or made for someone out of their free time. Yet if it was to have a price it be a kin to that of perhaps 250 US dollars, yet again due to it being for Dragangurru it cost nothing and the actual price would be more so in brutish pounds something along the lines of 205 pounds an 23 pence. For human collectors it would be a bit more yet an appraiser may need to be involved to make a good gauge of the armor especially due to how new the armor is and what influence of Aboriginal cultures may have been involved in the designing of the armor. So far, in human markets it is very much close to that of 500 pounds or maybe around 400 pounds. It would especially be worth more if it is armor that survived the Emu wars.

[Personal Comment]
    Now it was a bit of an ankle biter that's for sure when it came to design this. Bloody hell Sure made it no crack shot of a think to solve this problem. Yet when it comes down to it, I think the design of the armor works for what its design for. Could work on it more, yet I think this would be best to set it down as is. Kind find it funny as this is the only time I show a character giving another character a hair cut while in armor. None the less its a funny little thing. Keeps the concept form looking a bit, unalive for sure.

    Rating 5/10 kangaroos approve of this, now get hopping to it. XD
Enjoy and have fun.

Note: If one were to look at the Hydra Concept art and pay attention to the conversation. The blacksmith mentioning his other friend would be in fact this friend.
