Quote:Well, they're Naruto villians - and generic popcorn minions at that. Who's going to waste time drawing an overly intricate outfit, or color-checking one? ANyway, I figure that the ribbed black stuff seen on the arms is a full-body suit, a thick, porous, heat-holding knit made with wool yarn or something similar, while the blue-trimmed grey jumpsuit that goes over it is to help fae into the snow and is water and wind resistant, since that's the biggest problem with loose knits. My Snow nuke-nin have foregone the woolies but kept the jumpsuits since they're also good at preventing abrasions, resistant to cutting like a good denim, and have the typical hidden pockets of outer-layer ninjawear for tools and weapons.
Re: Yuki chic - that's notably similar to the way Sound-nin dress. Not, you know, enough so to be causal or anything, but interesting - like the resemblance between Konoha's flak jackets and Suna's cuirasses, when all the other shinobi we've seen wear no armor at all.
As for the armors.... I'm thinking I'll steal the kunoichi's wingsuit and the fat guy's ball-and-chain-claw suit (and have Gomaru complain about the fit of the latter) when it comes time for them to break it out, so Aoi gets the last suit, that the Snow guy who was Kakshi's special freind in the movie was using. See, those guys don't need them any more, because whoever Dodon or whatever the usuper-guy's name was has working on improved armors figured something out a little early, and all of them are going to have the new model when it comes time to send a team on that mission - though I don't remember who I had slated for it without going back a couple pages in the thread to check.
As for where exactly Rain Country is... close to the peninsula is better, but when it's a contract from Gatou, who cares? he's the only real competitor for the Haruno or Aburame depending on universe, and either way is sure to have contacts wiht most if not all countries and ninja villiages.
The Jade Empire... I suppose it oculd be either south or west of Sand (and could extend further west than your picture, if you want) if you still want to use it, but having never heard of the game let alone played it until you mentioned it, I couldn't give much in the way of advice otherwise.
Everything you have laid out sinds fine to me so far. How big a landmass are you figuring on, here? It would have to be pretty big just to have that much climatological variation, so I'd kind of assumed a roughly similar size vertically to the continental US, but environmental science is not one of my stronger subjects.
