## Armour
In Blastmud, you can wear clothing. Different clothing covers different parts of your body,
and many types offer protection to the body parts that it covers (making it armour).
Every item of clothing has a thickness, and the total thickness of clothing worn on any part of
the body can't exceed 12 - or you won't be able to put any more on.
There is a dark side to wearing too much though - clothing slows down how much you move, which
is reflected in a dodge penalty - an amount subtracted from your dodge skill, hence making it
harder to escape your enemy's attacks.
Put on clothing with the *wear* command, and take it off with *remove*.
Try the *gear* command to see what you are wearing, how much protection it offers, and how
much impact it has on your ability to dodge.

## Starting again
### Resetting your stats
If you don't like the stats you picked, you can pick again with the *delete stats* command. It
will prompt you to enter a code to confirm.
Note if you do this:
* Your character dies instantly.
* You lose all your XP, except XP obtained through completing journals.
You don't lose your credits, nor do you lose any apartments you are renting (or corps you belong
to), and you come back with the same username. You can change your starting stats and your sex.
### Destroying your character entirely
If you want to give up on a character entirely, you can [log in to the game](https://www.blastmud.org/game.html) with your username and password, and enter the command *delete character forever*. It will prompt you to enter a code to confirm.
Note if you do this:
* You get disconnected from the game immediately.
* A one week countdown period starts.
* If you log in again as that user within the week, the deletion is cancelled.
* If you don't log in for a week, the deletion process is started.
* Your user (including our records of your email and so on) are deleted from the database. We keep backups going back about 9 days, but we only use backups to roll back in the event of a major problem affecting multiple users - so as far as your character is concerned, it is gone and never coming back after the week.
* Your character and anything in its possession is completely deleted.
* Any apartments the character is renting are evicted - sending any other players there on to the street, and destroying any possessions left there.
* All XP, credits, journals and so on are lost forever.
* Another user can register as the same username if they want to.
* After the user is deleted, it doesn't count towards your limit of 5 characters (but note: it does count during the one week wait period).
