Some more innovative jewelry

Not steampunk style like the last time, but still, BADAM!

I don't think I would wear any of that if an alien beam from outer space hit me and changed my gender, but can't say it's not intriguing.

 

Oh god, it's so TACKY. At least Steampunk jewelry has style. This stuff is what I'd expect to see dangling from the ears of a nine year old redneck.

 

I'm tempted to try and order the pencil and eraser as gifts for my step-mother. She's a teacher. I think they're amusing and mildly cute. ^_^

 

Looking at that Delete ring gave me an idea of brass knuckless composed of four metal Delete buttons.

 

Say, Ctrl Alt Delete brass knuckles would be even better.

Almost win, almost.

 

I find it amusing how in many countries owning a combat knife is absolutely legal, but having brass knuckles is a big no-no. Wiki says they're legal in France and I haven't heard about massive ammounts of people being killed or injured because of this fact lately. Governments seem to always forget that if a villain wants to have a weapon, he will have it anyway, legalising things such as brass knuckles is just giving civilians a way to defend themselves and equalize the chances.

 

I find there are generally two choices of self defence available to the average Joe; remain unarmed and choose the Kamikaze optional trait during character creation, or carry a variety of concealable weapons with you at all times, just in case. How depressingly droll.

 

I own a great amount of concealable weapons and I usually carry one with me at all times. You never know when you need to stab a man.

 

I'm not aware of any law against carrying a chain. Crude, but effective. A little on the heavy side though.

 

I'm a good shot with a bow (read: lethal at up to 50 metres and fucking dangerous for about another 60 after that, unfortunately that's about the max range for recurve). Unfortunately, it's illegal to carry my 45-pounder about the place, so I make do with kicks to the groin and a few years of self-defence courses.

 

You can just wear quality boots - most have metal at the bottom (soles? or heels? or something else altogether? Soles were the place you places your foot inside so...)

 

I wear runners (what the Americans call sneakers, bwahahahaha!) pretty much all the time, for both comfort and because it's easier to find runners with space for orthotic inserts, so steel-capped stuff is pretty much out.

I wear some rings that would count as weaponry on their own, though.
