An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A trope where characters with a Limited Wardrobe or Memetic Outfit find themselves wearing far too little to possibly be comfortable (or healthy) given the current temperature -- but will usually not act any differently to how they do in other temperatures. Curiously, this is not as Unrealistic as its seems. In real life, there a sects of Monks who can control their own temperature and avoid frostbite (and sickness) even in bellow zero temperatures by (possible) mantras and at least one confirmed case (Wim Hof)of a man absolutely immune to the cold; this is of course exaggerated in fiction.

abstract
  • A trope where characters with a Limited Wardrobe or Memetic Outfit find themselves wearing far too little to possibly be comfortable (or healthy) given the current temperature -- but will usually not act any differently to how they do in other temperatures. It should be noted that this trope was born (and is still used) to show how badass and/or "Hardcore" a character was, not about Fanservice as the image above show. Started with the Iconic Barbarian figure popularized by Conan (and still used to this day), it was a simply shorthand to demonstrate how savage, deadly and probably super human the individual is. It's through the abuse of writers to show a little of skin that had come to the (often mocked) trope of today. Curiously, this is not as Unrealistic as its seems. In real life, there a sects of Monks who can control their own temperature and avoid frostbite (and sickness) even in bellow zero temperatures by (possible) mantras and at least one confirmed case (Wim Hof)of a man absolutely immune to the cold; this is of course exaggerated in fiction. This trope also applies to other times the clothing is grossly inappropriate to the environment. To be expected in Video Games, especially free roaming ones unless finding appropriate clothing becomes a Broken Bridge. Examples of Exposed to the Elements include:
