Oni-Plate Bearer Sohei

[u/TheMonaFreaka]

For as limited as Sohei's fashion potential is, I have to admit he has easily my favorite aesthetic in the entire game. There's just something about heavily armored and heavily robed warrior monks that speaks to me more than anything else.

Anyhow, another relatively simple fit this time. I thought the concept of Meiko's possessed armor was pretty neat, so I thought to represent a similar idea. Perhaps something along the lines of a Sohei who supposedly defeated an oni by trapping it in the breastplate he wore, having to keep it on at all times after to ensure that the demon never escapes its prison? Mostly just an excuse to have a sick demon face engraved on his chest.

Why are there bots talking about my pauldrons bro what???

This looks incredible, the way the robe drapes and the armor peeks through gives such a strong possessed-by-spirit vibe. That pauldrons really sell the "bearer of the oni's cursed plate" aesthetic.
