It took a long time for knights to figure out their armor. There were no perfectly made metal pauldrons or grieves to slap on out of nowhere. They knew they should use something to protect themselves, but what? These knights wrapped themselves in myth then became so themselves.
Flower Knight
Flower Knight was beautiful but predictably short lasting – “Nature’s beauty will protect!” But only so much. Popular with bees and butterflies but they didnt really care about him and even stung him more than a few times.
Book Knight
Book Knight could imagine no armor better than tomes as she would be “protected by the brilliance of the human race!” The truth is that most books are thick enough to be effective at keeping swords and arrows out. Books are heavy but so is steel. As a bonus, when the battle lulled the knight could enjoy some holy text or perhaps a bit of Chaucer. Rather weak against flaming arrows.
Muffin Knight
Muffin Knight was a baker and wise enough to know that donuts would not serve as armor due to a conspicuous hole right in the middle of them. Instead, he overbaked shallow muffins to give them a very hard crust, sprinkling sugar on top to really crystalize that toughness. The moment he stepped on the battlefield the crows got him.
Strike Knight
Strike Knight was all attack. She had no interest in defensive thought and theory. She would always be on the attack. So she strapped swords, daggers, crossbows, maces and more daggers all over her body. Unfortunately she tripped early in her first battle.
Love Knight
No record exists of this knight, only rumor. But there have likely been many and will be many more. Briefly.
Night Knight
Night Knight would only go into battle at night and no one ever seemed to actually see him do anything. He claimed to wrap himself in the quiet dark and put the opposing army to sleep. Whenever you heard a snore he claimed that as his victory. However, he could never get all asleep at once and those he did eventually woke up well rested.
Ivy Knight
Ivy Knight covered herself in poison ivy in the belief that no one would want to come near enough to attack her. She was right, but too itchy to push the advantage.
Spider Knight
Had much the same issue as the Ivy Knight.
Silk Knight
Silk Knight believed in comfort above all else, draping himself in the most exquisite silks. He never left his bed for the battleground but he did survive, living a long, comfy life.
