This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Various forms of leather armour have been used by many cultures forms of leather armour extensively for thousands of years.
Leather armour has been one of the main component of armour throughout human history.
In western civilization it fell out of popular usage around the 14th century in favour of quilted armour. However, leather armour pieces were still often used in conjunction with metal armours.
Someone in true full plate armour lacks the motion of half a quarter plate. Full plate soldiers and knights were extreamly rare in battle. Full plate was either used in ceremonies or jousting, with half plate more common in battles.
If you were to fall down in full plate it would take an above average person several minutes to roll over and push themselves up. Every action in full plate uses 3 times the amount of energy.
