Armour
Citadel LRP
2 tiers of armour exist “Basic” and “Advanced”.
Advanced Armour is not available at start of play, although skills for making and accessing it will be, and it is likely a couple of sets will become available soon.
Although we want there to be some difficult in receiving Advanced Armour, after start of play we may allow some characters (especially those of new players) to start with Advanced Armour.
Armours do not appear wildly different; anything that looks like armour may physrep either Basic or Advanced Armour. We encourage players who wish to wear Advanced Armour to use a physrep that is suitably impressive. There is a tag for people who wear Advanced Armour and can take CRUSH differently.
TLDR: it counts as armour if it looks like armour.
Additional Armour Advice
Basic Armour can be anything. Advanced armour should include: “technical scraps” (duct tape, wires, circuit board, anything really), “Psionic Empowerment” (crystals, odd colours, diagrams), or “look tough” (lots of metal)

When deciding what to wear, remember “Coolness is better than weight.”
