History

Cloths (Japanese: 聖衣クロス, Hepburn: Kurosu?)

Cloths were created during the Myth Age by the Alchemists of the Mu Continent to counter the power of Poseidon's Marine shogun, who were impossible to defeat by the unarmed followers of Athena. The descendants of those Alchemists, the Jamir tribe, remain the only people who know the secret art of repairing Cloths or bringing them back to life.

Overview

The other elements Cloths are made include: Gamanium, Stardust Sand and Orihalcon, an almost undestructible metal that is also the base component of the Scales. Cloths are kept hidden in wild places until a destined Saints receives them from their masters who are often the previous owners of the Cloths.

While Saints have surpassed normal humans and have super human capabilities, they are not invincible by any means and are still susceptible to physical harm. Saints also have great offensive prowess not only because their arms and legs are covered by the Cloth, but most importantly because it creates a sort of synergy with the Saint and his/her constellation, helping to burn his/her Cosmo at a much greater extent than normal.

Cloths have their own regenerative abilities, but a Cloth that is heavily damaged or destroyed could actually 'die' and become useless. The only way to revive these dead cloths is with a great amount of a Saint's blood. The blood given doesn't have to be an actual Saint's. It can be an individual who has the equivalent strength of a Saint.

It's an usual trait that the stronger the Cloth is, the more it covers the wearer's body, with a few exceptions. While Bronze Cloths cover a small part of the body, usually the most important vital points and not much more, the Gold Cloths leaves very small parts of the body uncovered, like the upper part of the legs and arms. However, Cloths are not weapons and do not contain their own source of power. Cloths can only reach their potential when the wearer burns their own cosmos. If a wearer had no cosmos, then the Cloth was useless. In the case that a Saint would burn his/her Cosmos, the Cloth amplifies the saint's skills greatly allowing him/her to reach their full potential. Cloths are known to be living beings, because they are filled with Cosmos, the source of all life and in extreme situations have shown to be able to take decisions on their own.

There were different types of Cloths with these including:

  • Bronze Cloths : the weakest of the Cloths with there being 48 Bronze Cloths.
  • Silver Cloths : there were 24 Silver Cloths among Athena's Saints.
  • Gold Cloths : among the strongest with there being 12 Gold Cloths.
  • Unknown Cloths : there were 4 Cloths that were made of an unknown material.
  • God Cloth : also known as Athena's Cloth with it being the only one of its kind.
