Ascetic harness



The Ascetic Harness is a type of Elite body Harness.

Introduction
The Ascetic Harness is one of many variable armor permutations employed by Sanghelli warriors in battle. Like all Sanghelli combat harnesses, it rivals in form and function the UNSC MJOLNIR Armor, featuring a dynamic recharging Energy Shield.

In-game descriptions indicate that Ascetic armor is often worn by troops during internal crises as its intimidating design assists in the maintenance of order. In Halo 3 players using the Elite model can wear this armor permutation in multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed that all armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Helmet Characteristics
The helmet appears completely sealed. Two yellowish-orange bulbs mark the location of the wearer's eyes; it is unknown if these are truly transparent to the wearer or if vision is achieved through some other apparatus (such as a neural feed). Along the jaw-line and for about six inches beyond extend two silvery tusk-like protrusions similar in design to those found on stealth Brute headpieces. Judging by the description offered in-game, these are perhaps meant to further augment the wearer's already frightening appearance.

Deltoid Protection Characteristics
The deltoid protection is made up of a quarter circle shape with two blue lights in them and a number of indentations.

Thoracic Cage Characteristics
Similar to the standard Harness. The only noticeable difference is a protrusion, shaped like the English letter I, filling what would otherwise be a gap between the right and left breastplate halves.
