Bling of War	comment	So, you've just entered your country's military force. And everyone seems to have these really spiffy dress uniforms. Really fancy, with actual silk and gold and precious gems. Wait, what? Those are combat uniforms? Yes, some fiction has characters wearing combat uniforms that are more appropriate for dress uniforms. But they look nice, so artists love to use them whenever they can, especially in anime, manga, comicbooks, and Video Games. (And not to mention paintings and relief sculptures; this trope is very much Older Than Dirt!) In literary genres, where we do not actually get to look at them, these are generally the mark of aristocrats, the Miles Gloriosus, the Armchair Military, and the Glory Hound. On the other hand, the serious soldiers are more practical and drably dressed, and certainly regard looking splendid as a much lower priority. Only their dress uniforms embody the trope — if then. Personal weapons may or may not involve Bling-Bling-BANG!. The hat is often a Commissar Cap. Officers and senior enlisted may carry some stick or baton indicating their rank, and expect their chests to be covered in various jangling medals. Futuristic settings can even have Powered Armor or Humongous Mecha in this style. This can overlap with Impossibly Tacky Clothes, when the work is making a Take That! to this trope, or dealing with cases where the uniforms are purely for showing off wealth rather than conveying a kind of aristocratic dignity. Historically many successful mercenaries have tended to dress in elaborate and expensive ways, given that this was one of the few reliable status symbols they could spend their money on, and such get-ups are much more likely to be regarded as tacky and unsophisticated. A sub trope is one where an individual disdains the awarding of such medals and ribbons and refuses to wear them. This is always an indicator that the person in question is a real badass, especially in comparison to the Fake Ultimate Hero (who will usually play this trope straight). This trope is very much Truth in Television; see the Analysis Page for more. A Sub-Trope of Costume Porn. Compare Sukhomlinov Effect, Ermine Cape Effect, Costume Porn, Pimped-Out Dress, Stylish Protection Gear, Highly-Conspicuous Uniform, Highly-Visible Ninja, Gold Makes Everything Shiny, Kicking Ass in All Her Finery. Design determines if a particular uniform also falls into Impractically Fancy Outfit or Impossibly Cool Clothes. Scary Impractical Armor might be considered a more overtly sinister variant. See also Custom Uniform, Modest Royalty.

Bling of War / int_1682583	comment	Subverted with the Hyaku Shiki from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and the Akatsuki from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Both are painted in brilliant gold, (in fact, the Hyaku Shiki is the trend setter for gold mobile suits in Gundam,) but there are good reasons behind their colors. The Hyaku Shiki's scheme is a result of being covered in Anti-Beam Coating, as well as acting as a middle finger to the Titans (i.e. "we can make new MS right under your nose"), made possible through "Quattro Bajeena" being the pilot. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki takes its predecessor's special feature up a notch, in that its gold armor is actually an advanced beam reflection system. Gundam SEED Frame Astrays has an extreme example with Rudolf Wittgenstein's custom GOUF Ignited: It doesn't just use gold paint, it has actual gold bonded to the armor. Unlike the Akatsuki, it serves no practical purpose whatsoever.

Where the Roland poet goes above and beyond, though, is when Moorish lords charge into battle in golden helmets encrusted in gems and decorated in flowers, both of which go rolling to the ground with each sword blow to the head. Roland also carries a gilded and bejeweled horn, Oliphant.

Bling of War / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter: Ahtal-Ka, the G-rank Final Boss of Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, is a female of the species. They're normally brown, but by eating the golden males of the species, she becomes more golden-colored and more attractive to other males. As a result, the armor made from her carapace is golden as well. Kulve Taroth of Monster Hunter: World is an Elder Dragon who lives in the Caverns of El Dorado, a cave chock-full of gold and precious ore, which she melts down into a giant mantle with which to cover her body; good thing for her, too, as the mantle protects her from her crippling weakness to Ice attacks. Despite being fused to her body, the mantle has a lot of assorted junk contained within; special golden weapons that boast much higher stats than the regular versions, and in the case of the Kjarr versions, the rare Critical Element skill inbuilt.

Bling of War / int_1cc8e29f	comment	Destiny: Like many RPGs, you can engage in this, with plenty of fancy armor sets and color shaders to make you look fabulous while you fight the forces of evil. It even gets lampshaded in the lore a few times. Rezyl Azzir was infamous for wearing armor and weaponry that was ornate and tacky even by Guardian standards, decorating his gear with battle trophies. His vanity proved to be his downfall; after a particularly brutal fight, he stuck the bones of a Hive Knight he killed onto his beloved pistol, not realizing that the Knight's remains had been cursed to gradually corrupt him through Darkness-exposure. The bones drove him mad and led to him becoming the infamous Dredgen Yor, a psychopathic Serial Killer who fed on the Light of others.

Notable examples include Rabbit Team's pink M3 Lee, Hippo Team's StuG III painted with a mix of red and yellow, mountains against a blue sky, historical quotes and side-mounted sashimonos, and Turtle Team's gold Pz 38(T). This especially hurts Hippo Team, as a rival Matilda II spots the StuG's sahsimonos when they try to sneak through an alleyway behind a fence and knocks them out. All the teams ditch the louder paint for more traditional greens, browns, and greys when the National Tournament begins.

Bling of War / int_2372359	comment	The Belgariad. Deconstructed — Ce'Nedra leads an army into battle wearing a suit of armor made entirely of pure gold but knows exactly how impractical it is in an actual fight. She uses it entirely to serve as an inspirational figure to bolster the troops' morale. Lampshaded when she's having it made. The smith making it is utterly dismissive of Ce'Nedra's request for fancy armor (and particularly of her desire to have the bust "augmented" a bit), until she tells him to look at her, and asks if he thinks that she, in the best, most practical armor he could make, would last even seconds in a fight with an enemy warrior. Effectiveness in combat is not what she's concerned with. Taur Urgas, King of Cthol Murgos, dips his (steel) mail in molten gold. Since Angarak gold is blood red in colour, this actually serves to make him look even more frightening rather than pretty.

Havenites' uniforms were (in contrast to Manticoran black and gold), rather nondescript grey, and those of Grayson were copies of modern US Air Force blues. None of these, however, are worn in an actual combat situation outside of unforeseen events, with the standard uniform being skinsuits.

Bling of War / int_43f52aa9	comment	Oblivion Oblivion greatly tones down the Imperial Legion uniforms, but many others get a serious bling upgrade. Some of the city guard outfits in particular are quite eye catching, such as Bruma's bright yellow. The leader of the Watch Captains in the Imperial City, Hieronymus Lex◊, takes this trope to an extreme. Martin wears it during the siege of Bruma. The Armor of Tiber Septim, acquired during the main quest, is an extremely blingy gold and silver armor set loosely resembling Roman armor. Umaril the Unfeathered, the Big Bad of the Knights of the Nine expansion, is outfitted entirely in golden armor.

The "traditional" uniforms for the Commander of the Watch and the Duke of Ankh-Morpork, His Grace Sir Samuel Vimes (Blackboard Monitor) are shiny and feathered and have tights; there is basically nothing in that description that he does not object to. He put his foot down about the tights and the feathers in the end, thankfully, but still has to put up with shiny armour with knobbly bits that would probably be worth Sweet Fanny Adams in actual combat. Jingo has him saying to his butler "And into this land of sand-colored dust and sand-colored rocks and sand-colored sand you, Willikins, will march with your red and white uniform?

Martel, who has been The Dragon for the entire trilogy, gets a fancy suit of gold-embossed armor in the third book. In the penultimate battle, the weight of the armor slows him down, which gets him killed. (Although it isn't the gold particularly; that particular style of armor was established as always being much heavier than most countries' plate armor, and among the best protection in the world. You still need to spend years building muscle to move in it properly.)

Bling of War / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring has a great proliferation of extremely fancy armor sets, which are given the Fan Nickname of 'Elden Bling' (which also applies to using these armor sets for player fashion). Sir Gideon Ofnir wears a decorative armor set covered in sculpted eyes and ears. Alberichs's set is mage robes covered with bright red glintstones. Azur and Lusat's sets have the heads and shoulders covered with glintstones, which grew from the sorcerers in question. Stay away from the Primeval Current, kids. The Beast Champion set Bernahl wears is silvery and covered in engravings of beasts. The unaltered version also adds a gorgeous blue cape, but Bernahl doesn't wear it. D, Hunter of the Dead (and potentially his twin, D, Beholder of Death) wears the Twinned Set, which is made to look like two people, one silver and one gold, embracing each other. General Radahn wears a golden armor with a lion motif inspired by his idol Godfrey, the First Elden Lord. All of the Knight sets count. Lordsworn Knights wear bright colors and sculpted helmets (with special mention going to the Leyendell troops who have gold-colored armor, and the Haligtree troops who all wear unalloyed gold crowns on their helms), while Cleanrot Knights have engraved golden armor, Crucible Knights have engraved bronze-colored armor with green waistcloths and decorated helmets, and Mausoleum Knights have wing-like additions on their backs (and no heads), and Drake Knights wear the results of their dragon hunts.

Barrayar has "undress greens" (typical daily wear), "dress greens" (fancier, for formal occasions such as parties or weddings), and most formal of all, "parade red-and-blues" (for major governmental functions such as the Emperor's Birthday; high collar, tall boots, and two ceremonial swords). Plus, Vor are allowed to wear their medals with their House colors. In Memory, Miles Vorkosigan, off to talk to the Emperor, pulls out all of his medals and puts them on with his House colors, for effectively the first time. Even he hadn't realized what a collection he had. (The Emperor's reaction upon seeing him: "Good God".) The "House colors" are a riot. Sixty districts, each with a different pair of heraldic colors, and wearing them at major occasions. Vorkosigans are lucky, with a restrained brown and silver, and some (such as the Vorpatril blue and gold) are bona-fide impressive, but some... note that ceremonial reds-and-blues are just the House Colors of the ruling Vorbarra clan, all Barrayaran military legally just being their official retainers. They also use the cut inherited from the Times of Isolation, which looks vaguely Napoleonic.

O'Neill's response: "Maybe that's why they're dead." A few episodes later in the series, it is specifically noted that Jaffa weapons and armor are designed more for psychological intimidation than actual effectiveness, the better to cow primitive populations into accepting their new "gods". If you're trying to impress people, you don't want to hide your troops with camo... Also worth noting is that their uniforms are armor effective against just about anything they'd face short of their own weapons (steel plates and mail will stop most bladed weapons that resisting peasants will have). When they first came to Earth in the pilot, small arms fire just bounced off — one Jaffa was killed, but that was after a considerable amount of gunfire. (Though those were Serpent Guards; those guys are elite troops and thus get the best armor.) It isn't until the SGC became a recognized defensive asset that needed better weapons and got them that the armor becomes obsolete.

Bling of War / int_7988cb68	comment	The Mass Effect universe is generally pretty restrained (or at least low on the sparkle), but some of the Krogan armour certainly qualifies, especially the Warlord-class◊ and Battlemaster-class◊ lines. A Justified Trope in this case — the krogan don't really care about cover, they're naturally incredibly tough, and they certainly want their enemies to see them before they die. The sequel lets the player wear shiny golden armour, and those lucky folk who pre-ordered got the Terminus Assault Armour◊, whilst those who got Dragon Age get the Blood Dragon Armor◊.

Bling of War / int_8ac4e993	comment	As just about all the Gundam shows. There are even a few Humongous Mecha examples from Gundam, like Dozle Zabi's Zaku II or M'Quve's Gouf. Taken to an extreme with the Zabi Family Custom Big Zam, which is basically a Big Zam with the same gold etching as Dozle's Zaku. However, it should be noted that these are not actual combat models but more of a ceremonial design. It also did not appear in any of the anime or manga, just All There in the Manual. There is also the higher-ranking officers of "The Sleeves" that have the nice uniforms and rather decorative embellishments on their mobile suits, especially◊ the Sinanju.◊ This is what you get if you have lots of gold but no one willing to sell you actual military supplies. Subverted with the Hyaku Shiki from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and the Akatsuki from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Both are painted in brilliant gold, (in fact, the Hyaku Shiki is the trend setter for gold mobile suits in Gundam,) but there are good reasons behind their colors. The Hyaku Shiki's scheme is a result of being covered in Anti-Beam Coating, as well as acting as a middle finger to the Titans (i.e. "we can make new MS right under your nose"), made possible through "Quattro Bajeena" being the pilot. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki takes its predecessor's special feature up a notch, in that its gold armor is actually an advanced beam reflection system. Gundam SEED Frame Astrays has an extreme example with Rudolf Wittgenstein's custom GOUF Ignited: It doesn't just use gold paint, it has actual gold bonded to the armor. Unlike the Akatsuki, it serves no practical purpose whatsoever. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has the mobile armor Alvatore; its gold plating may be plain compared to the aforementioned designs from the other series, but it also has lavish pop-up window designs in its cockpit viewscreens! Also, it has been noted that the Alvatore's mobile suit component, the Alvaaron, has the Corner family crest on its chest. Strangely it does not show on any of its depictions. This is used for visual storytelling in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. The Dueling Committee's mobile suits tend to have bright colors and cool-looking accessories and weapons, best shown off in the first episode with Guel's Dilanza featuring a huge feathered headcrest. This is because these suits are essentially serving as toys for rich kids and they participate in what is essentially a futuristic equivalent of a medieval joust. The suits we see serving in actual combat tend to be far more drab and unadorned.

Bling of War / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls Each race of Mer (Elves) has a recurring iconic armor that fits throughout the series. The Altmer (High Elves) are associated with the golden "Elven Armor." The Dunmer (Dark Elves) have two: dark purple/gray ebony armor (primarily mined around Red Mountain in their homeland) and the fluorescent green glass armor. "Dwarven" armor (originally worn by the Dwemer or "Deep Elves") is bronze/gold in color. The ancient Falmer (Snow Elves) wore platinum colored armor. The Orsimer (Orcs) are masters at crafting with Orichalcum, which, while a dull gray in color, they craft into intimidating looking heavy armor. The Bosmer avert it by specializing in light armor (leathers, furs, etc.) or no armor at all. Throughout the series, this is the case for the Aureals (aka Golden Saints), a form of lesser Daedra in service to Sheogorath. They are constantly outfitted in golden armor, often with golden weapons and shields as well. Similarly, this is the case for the Aurorans, another form of lesser Daedra who serve Meridia. They are fully encased in golden armor. Morrowind has very blingy armor for the Imperial Legion. And that is just the basic grunt's uniform. As you advance in rank, the armors become increasingly blingy as you go, from the gold-looking "Imperial Templar" armor to the "Imperial Silver Armor." As you complete the Imperial Legion questline, you'll recover and present the Lord's Mail to the legion commander in Vvardenfell, a legendary enchanted cuirass originally worn by the founder of the empire. (If you want it back, you'll have to beat him in a Duel to the Death to receive a Klingon Promotion). Oblivion Oblivion greatly tones down the Imperial Legion uniforms, but many others get a serious bling upgrade. Some of the city guard outfits in particular are quite eye catching, such as Bruma's bright yellow. The leader of the Watch Captains in the Imperial City, Hieronymus Lex◊, takes this trope to an extreme. Martin wears it during the siege of Bruma. The Armor of Tiber Septim, acquired during the main quest, is an extremely blingy gold and silver armor set loosely resembling Roman armor. Umaril the Unfeathered, the Big Bad of the Knights of the Nine expansion, is outfitted entirely in golden armor. In Skyrim, this is present to a degree with the two sides of the Civil War. The standard Imperial Legion armor is back to its Roman roots, while the Stormcloak basic armor has a ragged leather/cloth/chain appearance. However, the leadership is outfitted in armor with plenty of bling. Generall Tullius◊ of the Legion goes the full "bling" route while Ulfric Stormcloak◊ wears a slick Badass Longcoat/Pelts of the Barbarian combo.

The show even discusses the trope with regard to the Kingsguard uniform: it's very fancy, in contrast to the armour worn by the Stark household guard. Ned Stark notes dryly to a member of the King's Guard: "Very handsome armor. Not a scratch on it." The member, Jaime, replies equally dryly, "I know.

General Dravere, a textbook Armchair General, insists on wearing all of his medals on his uniform, at all times (his former superior, Warmaster Slaydo, who despised him, derisively nicknamed him "the Old Gong").

Bling of War / int_a944b4bb	comment	Somewhat more understated in Tolkien's Legendarium, but still present. The armor worn by the Dwarves and Bilbo in The Hobbit is made in part or entirely of mithril, with gold and gems (and in fact, mithril is widely used in any war-gear of Dwarven and even Elven make), and even the helms of the Tower Guard in The Lord of the Rings are made using mithril. Justified here since while mithril is the rarest and most precious of metals, it's also the STRONGEST (as evidenced in in The Fellowship of the Ring when Frodo survives a blow from a cave troll with nothing more than bruises thanks to a mithril mailshirt). The armies of the Noldor in particular are noted for this (it helps that the High King at the beginnings of their trouble with Morgoth in Valinor may have been the greatest smith the world had ever known). The Rohirrim, having been inspired by the Anglo-Saxons, often use gold on their armor, helms, shields and sword-hilts. Gold is also used by the Southrons and Easterlings in Sauron's armies. Scabbards (such as AndÃºril's) and other fittings are also often fit with precious metals and gems. Additionally, in the Second Age, the Numenorean army defeated Sauron's simply by being so impressive none dared to stand against them.

Even the "dregs of the army" (the French Guard, which Oscar commands at the end of the series) gets their share of bling. Also features in the sequel Eikou no Napoleon: Eroica. It backfires spectacularly on the Mamluks, the most blinged one by virtue of wearing large amounts of gold jewels when going at war, when Napoleon tells his men that, just for once, he'll recognize their right of sacking and why the Mamluks are so shiny. The Battle of the Pyramids ends in a French triumph.

Bling of War / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: This is an adaptation of the aforementioned A Song of Ice and Fire, but it tones down a lot of the book's war-bling. Compare the descriptions of Tywin Lannister's armour in the novels to what he wears in the show — still elaborate, but not nearly so gaudy. The show even discusses the trope with regard to the Kingsguard uniform: it's very fancy, in contrast to the armour worn by the Stark household guard. Ned Stark notes dryly to a member of the King's Guard: "Very handsome armor. Not a scratch on it." The member, Jaime, replies equally dryly, "I know. People have been swinging at me for years and they always seem to miss." It's revealed in this featurette that King Renly Baratheon's armour (which included velvet fabric) was the most complicated costume created for the first two seasons of the show. Ser Loras Tyrell has even more glorious armor, with small flowery patterns covering every inch of it. Makes sense, given that he's as camp as you can be while still being a badass knight. Defied by the mercenary Bronn, who is expected to wear the fancier uniform of the Gold Cloaks. He refuses by noting how impractical it is: the cloak gets in the way of a fight and the uniform and how it stands out either making one a target or impossible for stealth. He sticks with his lighter, everyday armor as his uniform. Joffrey's armor and gilded sword. His crossbow is adorned with gems as well. While acting as Hand of the King, Tyrion gets a lavish suit of armor cleverly adorned with golden hands. Prince Doran Martell's personal bodyguard Aero Hotah wields an large, bejeweled glaive. Sandor notices Oathkeeper's garish hilt and pommel and is quickly able to figure out who made it and gave it to its wielder. The regular Lannister soldiers' armor is flaunting the Lannisters' wealth, with red enamelled plates and richly decorated helms. Under King Tommen, unlike the other Kingsguard, Gregor's armour is completely gilded. In Seasons 7 and 8 under Queen Cersei, he dons a fancy black and silvery armor that oddly makes him look thinner than he is. Rhaegar Targaryen wore armor that was adorned with rubies, many of which wound up in the ford of the Trident when Robert killed him.

Bling of War / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000. The Imperium of Man makes common use of this trope. The God-Emperor of Mankind◊ wears ornately decorated golden plate covered in images of eagles, as do his own Adeptus Custodes Terminators◊. The Space Marines and Grey Knights have all kind of skulls, eagles and junk on their Powered Armor; their dreadnoughts◊ are often enshrinement taken literally. Some of them are given blessings to aid their wearer, although in general the increased visibility is intended as an intimidation tactic — the Marines generally eschew camouflage and want their enemy to know they're coming for them. The Chaos Space Marines seem to have a spike fetish, but they kinda use them, at least. Sanguinius excels all others in this respect as he is described in the Horus Heresy series, wearing his fancy armour with a web of jewelled chains on his head and wings. The Ultramarines Second Company Captain Cato Sicarius wears a large amount of tassels, icons, and assorted decorations on his armor, each earned as a battlefield honor. Averted by the Dark Angels, who wear plain robes over their armor to denote rank. Higher-ranking members will still get some flashy gear, it just won't be as flashy as other chapters'. The Imperial Guard generally wears subdued camouflage and military gear, but there are some exceptions. Lord Commander Solar Macharius word ornate golden armor with a helmet shaped like birds' wings. The uniforms of Tallarn Desert Raiders are also very decorative and ceremonial; colored sashes are used to denote rank, while the weapons of officers are inset with gems and precious metals. The Mordian Iron Guard wear fantastically gaudy dress uniforms into war. Many enemies have been fatally surprised to discover that the flashy uniforms are being worn by fiercely disciplined and competent soldiers. Their colorful uniforms are intended to aid visibility on their dark homeworld, amplified by them frequently fighting the bowel-voidingly disturbing forces of Chaos. It's not limited to armor either: Commissar Yarrick owns an extremely decorated Baneblade called the Fortress of Arrogance. The Imperium as a whole has a tendency to try and make anything bigger than a jetbike resemble a cathedral, meaning here the full Notre Dame effect. However, the gear and weaponry of most factions, such as the Rhino transports and weapons in general, tend to be boring and boxy because their design belongs to the time when humanity was not so fond of bling. Orks greatly enjoy decorating their armor, vehicles and gear. It's just that instead of skull moldings and gold, they go for... skulls. And helmets. On sticks. As a way of honoring a worthy opponent. The Bad Moons clan, and the Flash Gitz in particular, believe that, the richer and flashier they are, the more powerful they are. They even have their gretchin talk big about them just to make other, less fortunate orks jealous. Of course, instead of rising to any kind of position of power in their clans, they instead get booted out for being too self-absorbed in their wealth. They usually end up as mercenaries for various xenos species in the galaxy... or as Korsairs. The orks are never too insulted by this though, because any ork that is hard enough can just mug them if he wants their wealth. Imperial Bling of War works against humans when fighting orks: since to the Large and in Charge-following orks all humans are the same size, they figure the 'umiez solve the "who's in charge" problem by giving their leaders bigger and awesomer hats (which is true to an extent). This is why many a Commissar Cap has been removed from its owner's head (and the head from the body as well) to be put on an ork warboss as a symbol of authority. Eldar are mostly relatively restrained, just going for functional bling like magic gems that increase their magic power. When they do go over the top, they tend to focus on bright colors and decorative patterns over jewelry and precious metals. Eldar can go either way largely because each of their Aspect Warrior castes have specific uniforms. This ranges from the dark and intimidating Dark Reapers who seem to be aiming for a "Death in armour with a missile launcher" look, right up to the Fire Dragons who, true to their name, wear bright orange armour with yellow helmets. Special characters, as so often happens, turn this way up; Asurmen goes into battle with blue and gold armour, an enormous red helmet with a crest and a huge flag on his back. Eldar always go into battle with spirit stones, which are small gems that are made to capture the souls of the Eldar when they are killed so they can be retrieved later. Otherwise their souls will end up in the warp where it will be devoured by daemons, especially Slaanesh. Ynnari characters, such as Yvraine◊ and the Visarch◊, tend to be much flashier than other Eldar, and favor armor decorated with complex patterns, vivid colors, flowing capes and assorted shiny gewgaws hanging from their belts. In the Visarch's case, this is a deliberate in-universe choice: the style of his armor is from Golden Age of eldar which the Ynnari wish to return to. Necrons of Nephrekh Dynasty: their every single warrior is made from sufficiently advanced "metagold" alloy or, in other words, pure blingness. Only two factions consistently avoid this trope: the Tau, who are more pragmatic and whose commanders look little different from their other mecha, and the Tyranids, which are each and all mass-produced, mindless drones of the Hive Mind

Fittingly, it is one of the four highest awards for valor that can be awarded by the Suns. The other highest awards are the Medal Excalibur, which is a large solid-gold medal, and the Federated Suns Medal of Honor and the Federated Suns Star, which are both solid platinum; The Free Worlds League has the Distinguished Service Awards, which are actual jewelry — a bronze leaf-shaped pin that incorporates either a ruby, emerald, sapphire or diamond depending on the grade of the award. The awards are so valuable that they are passed down in families like heirloom jewelry, and it is a sign of absolute desolation or destitution if one ends up being sold or pawned. They also have Allison's Chain, another high award composed of a chain made of gold, silver and platinum links, finally they have the Silver Cross, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin — a pure silver cross with a diamond set in the center; The Lyran Commonwealth, given their "bigger is better" mindset, has the most Awesome, but Impractical award of the lot — Mc Kensey's Hammer, which is a 9kgnote 19.8lbs heavy hammer made of pure silver.

It was custom made for him when he was shipped off to join the clergy, both for being a troublemaker, and being Spare to the Throne. His codpiece is a golden emblem of Andraste's face (think Jesus crossed with Joan of Arc).

Bling of War / int_e9cb2780	comment	While Gears of War is a little too Grimdark to get into this full-tilt, elements appear, especially in the third game. All the Gears have uniforms adorned in strangely useless blue LED lights that serve little point other than to make it impossible to hide in dark corners (particularly odd, since most of the fighting in Gears 2 takes place either underground or in decaying buildings). Gears 3 ups the ante by adding in a whole host of cosmetic weapon skins for multiplayer, including bright pink, a glowing aura in appropriate colors (blue for COG, red for Locust) that changes appropriately if an enemy picks the weapon up, and even a liquid metal skin. A few are unlocked by in-game achievements, but most are bought a la carte — getting all of them costs about $40, 2/3 the price of the entire game. The Palace Guards of Gears of War 3 play this trope completely straight, having counterintuitively ornate (and heavy) helmets and coats. They're not quite on the level of bling found in most of these examples, but Locust designs tend toward brown, being an underground species.

Bling of War / int_eb6719f6	comment	The formal SeeD uniforms in Final Fantasy VIII were decorated with brocade, the female version involves a rather impractical-looking skirt, and generally look like what would happen if a member of The Ginyu Force traded fashion tips with Hugo Boss. The student uniforms, on the other hand, are a practical-looking ensemble that can be best described as combat fatigues crossed with a Japanese school uniform. Of course, it's also worth noting that the uniforms are apparently only worn either on-campus or when necessary to "show the flag," and indeed the protagonists never wear the uniforms at all after two sequences in the beginning.

It is also gold-plated from head to toe. Also, the aptly named Carat robo from Custom Robo Arena. It's an enhanced Little Sprinter model with military-grade specs and parts, but extremely gaudy and diamond-encrusted. Something of a subversion though, as it is a Rich Bitch's custom design for her personal use (see Screw the Rules, I Have Money!).

Bling of War / int_f74b5f80	comment	The Centauri in Babylon 5: sort of Roman meets Napoleonic. Initially you think that those are just the palace guards, but then some guy on a covert mission to grab G'Kar shows up dressed like that... In a later mission they wore obscuring robes to hide their identity. They were found out because they had the full uniform, including unit insignia, underneath. The human officers on B5 have fancy grey dress uniforms with braid on the shoulders for ceremonial occasions, and boring blue-and-brown uniforms for everyday use. However, when B5 breaks away from Earth Alliance and Delenn produces spiffy new black uniforms for everybody, those uniforms appear to be used for both dress and combat... though, to be fair, it would be asking a lot of poor Delenn to supply two separate uniform designs on such short notice. The separatist uniforms are an aversion, as they aren't inherently impractical for what the characters are doing. Though we do find out in a later episode that each of these uniforms is meticulously constructed from special materials that, according to Lennier, are a great honor to wear. So it seems that from the Minbari perspective the separatist uniforms are still very much Bling of War. It's just that the Minbari idea of Bling of War is very subdued. We also see in "Gropos" that Earth Force has a dedicated marine corps used for ground-based combat. Their uniforms are a functional olive-green. And even their commander, Gen. Franklin, exchanges his dressier uniform for a more cover-friendly green outfit while his forces are engaged in combat. In other episodes we also see that B5 security has an all-black SWAT-style uniform they use for more dangerous situations. Minbari have robes and carve their headbones according to a system of heraldry associated with their culture(which justifies Delenn's headbone looking like a circlet). Delenn has really fancy robes and being the proper Lady of War that she is, goes through SpaceBattles.com without causing a wrinkle.

Bling of War / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls features a character named Domhnall of Zena, a charming trader first encountered in the Depths. He deals mostly in armors, initially selling a copy of his own formidable set which sports a massive collection of glittering medals which are said to symbolize glory, and a helm with a similarly bright ochre gleam. The game also features silver knights wearing characteristically reflective plate and winged helms, and a character called Lautrec the Embraced, whose bright, golden-hued armor features notable decorative molding on the chest related to his title. The Giant Guards of Anor Londo also wear impossibly heavy golden armor with high defense and poise, which the player can also obtain from them. Which led fans to create the Memetic Badass "Giantdad" build using the Giant's Set and the also-golden Mask of the Father obtained from Pinwheel, along with enough Endurance, weight-lifting and stamina boosting equipment to be able to fast roll or even ninja flip while wearing it.
