Volition - Kyoshi Harness
🕑 Added 2020-02-17 00:58:50 +0000 UTCTypically speaking, the Kyoshi Warriors Azula has taken in as houseslaves are deemed 'too dangerous' to naturally be let around her palace. As such, most serve 'bound' in some fashion, or as display pieces.
There are a couple of ways out of this though. Like any slave, they can be given greater freedom by volunteering to be processed by the dai li (unlike benders, for whom processing is mandatory) to ensure loyalty to the fire nation and the safety of their owners- this also renders the slavery a temporary sentence, as after it is believed that the programming has fully taken they are then made full citizens once more...for those who desire it.
The other option for those not so inclined (i.e. pretty much everyone) is what's come to be known as the 'Kyoshi harness' by the other palace staff. Provided the person has been on good behaviour, they may be allowed greater freedom and to serve unbound on the understanding they are to wear one.
Each is fitted specifically to a Kyoshi, and is designed to curb any dangerous behaviour and stifle rebellion. The loose wires and ring-points allow for multiple places to grab and stop the person, the gag, though still allowing low-level conversation, makes mass communication difficult for organization, the bars by the eyes remove perhipheral awareness, limiting combat effectiveness, and above all else, a firebender needn't even score a direct hit on them, merely raise the surrounding temperature to severly hamper their manerouvreability.
This is because large parts of the harness are made from a material known as 'firetack', a durable, flexible subtance with one flaw being it becoming incredibly sticky above a certain temperature. In this manner, kyoshi warriors so-harnessed can be trusted with broader duties within the palace...and be trusted not to trespass in areas they shouldn't, thanks to 'hot-plate' barriers that would fix them to the floor to await inevitable punishment...

Hey ho all! Though I'd do something not Movement this week- infact I reckon I'll be shifting quite heavily in another direction soon (as to which direction, the clue is in this post...)
Anyway. Enjoy! As ever, $2 gets a larger pic, and $5 will soon be getting a PSD file and some other stuff in their monthly update!
Enjoy!
