Lobsters

The
ceramic is made by mixing a mixture of lime, ash and powdered kelp or seaweed
into some sort of putty. This putty is then plastered between each layer of
woven fiber (can be made of palm, coconut, seaweed or kelp) and shaped to the
desired shape. The shaped putty is then left to dry and baked at a high
temperature to harden. The plate is then left to cool and then glazed with
coating to prevent weather damage.

Although
seemed invulnerable, thiccin is not without its weaknesses. The obvious one is
that thiccin plates are quite heavy and thus the user is put at a disadvantage
in a drawn out fight or have to cover large distance quickly. Another weakness
is that thiccin plates are not really breathable or easy to remove so should
the user come under heat or poison or other form of attack that bypasses the
physical defenses itself, the user will most likely cooked alive inside his own
armor.

Thiccin
originated since the founding days of the lobster tribe by King Brent. It is
said that one day King Brent showed up out of nowhere claiming that he's the
son of the sun himself and offered an open challenge to any inhabitant of Ibal
shore for the rights to rule the area. 3 leaders of the largest settlement that
previously at each other's throats came and answered the challenge. They are
Oskarton "the club", Meryon "the spear" and Atrowon
"the pistol". Brent donned his Thiccin and wielded just a long stick
that he uses as a greatsword and proceeded to beat the shit out of the other
three since none of their attacks do any damage to him. They elected him as
king and adopted his armor to fight the beast of ibal shore. Thiccin proved to
be invaluable in fighting beasts, especially the kinds that inhabit ibal shore.
Most beast of ibal shore have some sort of spikes that they use as defense and
can be launched as offense which thiccin perfectly defense against. Should
someone get too careless and struck by the beast directly, thiccin will break
and spare their live, allowing them to accumulate experience and face the beast
again with new tactics. Brent and his thiccin armored lobsters managed to
create a huge safe haven in Ibal shore but failed to venture out because of the
limitation of thiccin. Even if thiccin give them a second chance in fighting a
beast, it means nothing if they can't replace the broken thiccin plates. Thus,
they remained in isolation until the wolfs hunting party arrived.

Yust
and yusti that copy it, is made to counter the beasts of ibal shore. These
beasts often has defensive spikes that prevent anyone to get in any striking
distance. Lead guardian of the lobster tribe during the hunt will use this
massive greatsword to cut down the beast's spikes, allowing other guardians to
close the distance and attack the beast. Beside fighting beasts, yusti also
proved to be quite useful in fighting human not clad in metal, with the user
able to cleave a person with ease. Due to its size and weight, yusti is wielded
with both hands and usually swung in a perpetual arc to conserve energy and
also to eliminate any opening that an enemy can use. A skilled wielder is even
able to deflect any incoming projectile. Should the opponent find an
opportunity and close the distance, yusti wielder is able to grip the
greatsword past the guard and use it for close combat.

This
ability is adapted to be able to be used by anyone by replacing the
fingersnapping that only Atrowon can do with a mechanical device. This device
cocked a flint or any other spark generating substance and when released strike
a metal base which will create a spark. The spark will then travel a brass
canister which hold the white powder, igniting it. The hunter’s association
adapted this to create flashbangs.

nicer. Middle class citizen generally lives in the cities, towns or big villages
and their shelter is made of chalk bricks while their roof is clay tile. For
the richer citizens, their house is made of polished marble that shone brightly
on the Ibal shore sun. The lobster tribe make a great effort to make sure their
house is whitewashed. Not only because whitewashed house is nicer on the eye
and to live inside, it also showed their appreciation for their king, Brent,
the son of the sun.
