Body descriptions

ExPar: [#img] is obsolete, use [#embed] instead

Notation - letters (Uppercase are prefixes, lowercase are suffixes):
- T = top, B = bottom
- S = skirt (loose fitting on bottom half), C = cape/cloak (loose fitting on top half)
- L = left side only, R = right side only (mirrored on diagram due to stage left vs. character left)
- f = front only, b = back only
- s = open at sides; combining with f/b makes it wrap around the sides instead
- l/r = like s, but affect left/right side only
Notation - numbers
- 0 = waistband
- 1 = chest/pelvis
- 2 = shoulder/hip
- 3 = biceps/thigh
- 4 = forearm/shin
- 5 = wrist/ankle
- 6 = palm/sole (and equivalent areas on back)
- 7 = fingers/toes (not shown in diagram due to lack of space)
Examples:
- T0-2 = short sleeved shirt
- T1-B1 = leotard
- T3-6 = Hatsune Miku's sleeves
- B1 = panties
- S1 = miniskirt
- S1-2 = Arle's skirt
- S1-3 = Nanako's skirt
- T1-S0s-S5s = Chinadress
- C1b-S3b = Arle's YON cape

Elemental Resistances

For a material defense against a volatile attack, damage multiplier is the appropriate cell of the table.
- ex: arcane attacks rock => 200% effectiveness
For a volatile defense against a material attack, damage multiplier is the reciprocal of the appropriate cell of the table.
- ex: bone attacks wind => 33% effectiveness
For a material attack against the same material defense, damage multiplier is always 1.
- ex: flesh attacks flesh => 100% effectiveness
For a material attack against a different material defense, damage multiplier is the bottom cell value for the defending material divided by the bottom cell value for the attacking material.
- ex: bone attacks cloth => 2 ÷ ½ = 400% effectiveness
For a volatile attack against the same volatile defense, damage multiplier is always -1 (the defender absorbs the entire attack).
- ex: fire attacks fire => 100% of attack power absorbed into the defender's health
For a volatile attack against a different volatile defense, damage multiplier is the rightmost cell value for the attacking material divided by the rightmost cell value for the defending material.
- ex: psychic attacks searing => 2 ÷ 1½ = 133% effectiveness

Note that material defenses usually originate from a character's body/outfit, while volatile defenses usually originate from shields put up. Similarly, material attacks are usually performed with physical weapons, while volatile attacks are usually performed with magic or technology.

	Flesh	Bone	Cloth	Ice	Rock	Metal	Wood	Water	Lava	(Volatiles)

Fire	½	½	3	2	½	½	2	½	-½
Arcane	1½			½	2	½	½	2		2
Psychic	2				½					2

Techniques

Fire: [Fire Rock] (fireball)
Ice Storm: [Water Cold Water] (ice pellets)
Thunder: [Air Searing Air Cold] (first pair gives lightning, second pair makes it a bolt from the sky)
Daiacute: [Cold Life] (cold = homing = accuracy up, life = buff self)
Brain Damudo: [Fire Searing] (fire = accuracy down, searing = debuff enemy)
Hanachikara: [Rock Life Life Water] (what a lame attack roflz)
Jugem: [Water Air Searing Fire Arcane] (water weakens enemy to lightning, then we attack with lightning, then just for good measure set them on fire; final Arcane makes it a beam attack)
Bayoen: [Cold Arcane Searing Rock Water] (epic glowing blue bolt barrage! :D)

Elemental Strengths

Fire, Water level 4
Searing, Arcane level 3
Air, Cold level 2
Life, Rock level 1
Blade, Shield level 0

Body

Cloth on T0-2, T5 and S1-2.
Leather on B5-7.
Metal on LT2 and LT1f.
