Traditional fantasy-based MMO classes redesigned for a post-apocalyptic setting: ( 2 / 9 ) knights

A slightly more straightforward translation from fantasy to a semi-realistic setting. The main focus became finding modern parallels for armor. Knights are well-rounded classes, so I wanted their equipment to be robust, but easy to move in; sports gear ended up being the best replacement.

Their outfits are mostly composed of motocross equipment (jersey, pants and boots in attractively garish color schemes), with additional sports gear stacked on top – MMA headgear, football/baseball protective gear, ice hockey gloves, lacrosse shinguards. The swords are rather crudely bolted and cobbled together from scrap metal; foraged riot gear can also be used in place of a second sword.
