A visor is a piece of eyewear that covers at least both eyes and the bridge of the nose. It's like a pair of goggles, but with temple-arms. Visor also refers to the faceplate of a helmet, the part that can be raised or lowered. This is about both kinds, specifically, ones that are opaque on one side (although, for all we know, it's opaque on both sides, so it doesn't have to be confirmed to be one-way), which is often—but not necessarily—connoted by a gold, silver, or obsidian mirror effect. Opaque, spherical helmets also count. [[Schizo-Tech|Bonus points if the technology to do this shouldn't have been invented yet]]. |
