'''Load-bearing equipment''' (often shortened to '''LBE''') is the general term for various types of wearable containers and equipment carriers, allowing characters to carry items besides [[weapons]] and [[clothing]]. In a general sense, LBE is what allows characters to have an inventory, and different items have different capacities.
All characters that are capable of wearing clothing (whether human, or youkai outfits), can also wear LBE with no restrictions.
There are four types of LBE: '''Tactical vests''', '''Backpacks''', '''Utility belts''' and '''Leg rigs'''. All LBE have two major traits: a '''general capacity''' measured in weight units, and '''up to three special capacities''', which accept only certain types of items but allow the wearer to carry these items without having to spend general capacity space. Certain types of LBE may have a third '''unique capacity''', which is exclusive to their type.
== General details ==
== Tactical vests ==
'''Tactical vestsvest''' (also called '''Tac-vestsvest''', '''Load-bearing vestsvest''', or simply '''vestsvest'''; not to be confused with ''ballistic vests'', which is a term for body armor) is the general term for load-bearing equipment worn over the chest or torso using some sort of vest, chest rig, or equivalent system.
On average, tactical Tactical vests do not offer large general have a unique capacity, and are largely used for their useful special capacities, and typically specialize in making it easier usually related to carry [[carrying ammunition]] and sometimes smaller [[weapons]], through magazine pouches, grenade pocketsgrenades, or additional holsters, and so onsmall weapons.
A character may wear only one tactical vest at a time.
== Backpacks ==
'''Backpack''' (also known under a variety of other names, most commonly shortened to '''pack''' or '''bag''') is the general term for load-bearing equipment worn on the back. The primary purpose of a backpack is to carry the bulk of a character's inventory; they have the highest available general capacity, and may, but tend not to, have special capacities. As [[LBE#Accessibility|explained above]], backpacks are the only type of LBE in which the items are not immediately accessible unless it is first removed and set down on the floor; this contrasts with their large carrying capacity. The unique capacity of a backpack is the '''money pouch''', which is a special pouch designed to carry [[Valuables|coins]]. The money pouch is available on all backpacks, and it always has a capacity of 20 units, therefore allowing a carrying capacity ranging between 200 and 2000 coins, depending on type and individual coin weight, and a total value capacity of up to [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]] '''100 000''', which can be achieved by carrying 200 platinum coins (200 x[[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]] '''500'''). A character may wear only one backpack at a time.

== Utility belts ==
x'''Utility belt''' (also simply called '''belt''') is the general term for load-bearing equipment worn around the waist or the hips. The unique capacity of an utility belt is the '''key item pouch'''. Though not actually a singular pouch, this unique capacity allows a character to carry '''one''' of each [[key item]] freely; it is assumed that pockets, clips, or hooks are attached to the belt to allow for carrying these items. A character may wear only one utility belt at a time.

== Leg rigs ==
x'''Leg rig''' (also simply called '''rig''') is the general term for load-bearing equipment worn on the legs; specifically the thighs. Leg rigs do not have a unique capacity; but the special trait of a leg rig is that a character may wear up to two instead of just one, theoretically one for each leg. This includes youkai with the [[Clothing#Youkai outfits|Type U body type]], who may not have two legs in the first place.
