Mina Armor - UNP - Conversion from Oblivion - originally by KURESE

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS - ESPECIALLY THE FAQ'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS DESCRIPTION - THANK YOU!!

THIS IS A NON-LORE FRIENDLY AND SKIMPY ARMOR MOD. IF THAT DOES NOT SOUND APPEALING TO YOU, THEN PLEASE LEAVE AND JUST SIMPLY IGNORE THIS MOD'S EXISTENCE, NO COMMENTS OR ENDORSEMENT NEEDED. I DO NOT WANT ANY UNNECESSARY TROLLING AND BANNING HERE. I REALLY DO RESPECT THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT A LORE-FRIENDLY AND IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THEIR SKYRIM, BUT I COMPLETELY DETEST THOSE WHO SHOVE THEIR TASTES DOWN OTHER PEOPLE'S THROAT.

This is an armor mod originally by KURESE, one of my favorite TES modder. His Mina armor is one of my top 5 favorite armor mod back in the Oblivion day (due to me being a big fan of Samurai Showdown). Unfortunately, he seems to have put a hold on modding for Skyrim and many of his armors are left unconverted. This is my attempt to bring Mina's armor from Oblivion to Skyrim.

All of KURESE's mod are open-source; meaning that he allows anyone to edit and improve upon his works without his permission as long as credits are given.

This mod includes:

• Mina Armor Cuirass
• Mina Gloves
• Mina Boots
• Mina Hairband (NEW)
• Mina Armor Cuirass Black (NEW)
• Mina Gloves Black (NEW)
• Mina Boots Black (NEW)
• Mina Hairband Black (NEW)

The armor ratings are a little weaker than glass armors but are stronger than elven gilded. They can be crafted at a forge in the Leather section. Require some leather, leather strips, moonstone ingot (orichalcum ingot for the black version) and linen wrap. All armor are improvable with different requirement for each piece.

Thanks to MxR for the feature video

KNOWN BUGS * -

There are some bugs and clipping as I have not been able to track down all the bugs yet. The skirt is very tricky since I cannot get the bone to work correctly, so I just slap all of it on the pelvis bone. It looks presentable in game, but you will see clipping when the character is running. It's not that bad though. If any of you are experienced with skirt bones, please download the mod and help me fix it.

The helmet is not very fitting as a hairband with many hair for obvious reason. When I make the hairband, I base its shape on the Apachii long ponytail hair as seen in the picture. The hairband is best worn with any kind of hair with a ponytail, since that's what the original character Mina from Samurai Showdown had.
