Sam's suit
I decided to explain (first of all, to myself) the structure of Sam's suit.
For now, only Sam, I'll take care of the rest of the ninjas further, because I need to determine who needs what armor and where. Because, for Sam, the armor on his legs will only get in the way, since her speed advantage is like Jay's. Accordingly, there will be no armor on Jay's legs either. Well, Sam also needs good hand protection, so she added elbow pads. And the strap to which the wakizashi case is attached.
A lot of armor for ninjas (for now, at least) is not needed, since they are still ninjas. But I figured it out:
Gold (ninjas) are responsible for rescuing people, reconnaissance, and of course, slaughter. But. Bronze plays the most role in the carnage. I take the trick with all my favorite ninjas in order to give them normal roles, free time at least sometimes and certain goals, on which, in fact, clothes depend. Ninja are very valuable for their elements, they simply cannot be exhausted.
The city is being attacked - Bronze delays enemies, ninjas are simultaneously engaged in rescuing people from the territories of defeat. That is, we understand that Bronze may not be able to detain some, so the ninja very often have to engage in battle _during_ the rescue of people. After such an evacuation is over, the ninja, if they succeed, _ necessarily_ join Bronze. Sometimes Bronze copes on her own, and Gold only manages to save people. Ninjas in the canon are always called defenders, so their priority will be the task of protecting. Bronze, unlike the ninja, does not show faces. Probably, they are also engaged in the patrol. And they always keep in touch with Gold.
Silver is only concerned with the protection of certain areas that are around forests. The forests of Ninjago are full of both dangerous animals and monsters that can sneak into the village at any time. Yes, and no one canceled the arrival of enemies precisely from the side of the forest. Skye's Monastery is located just in the territory of the village, which is located near the forest. And there are still a bunch of such villages.
And about the masks. Each suit (exploration, casual, combat, etc.) will have its own mask. Cloth is good for reconnaissance, but combat ... I told about the fact that the air in Furiku's world is different. Ninja can't breathe them. Max breathes on the surface with a mask that covers his mouth and nose, and it is made of material like the Japanese masks of the same demons. Ninja need the same, but I'm still sitting on the design.
