I know Spirited and Phantom have helped me a lot with my weapons already, but there are still some things I'm not too sure about. Mainly the way they were made. I'm not entirely sure on the process for them and I certainly don't know when exactly she would have made them, so I wanted to post the two weapons my character Tsuki uses here, just to be sure. I hope those of you have already talked a lot on this subject with me don't get too frustrated with me for posting this. Anyway, here they are!

-

Name: Sycamore - an American plane tree

Wielder: Tsuki Akiba

Maker/Smith: Tsuki Akiba

Type: Sword

Weapon Derivation: Curtana

Design: The grip is wrapped in a dark brown cloth, with a silver round pommel and a silver circular cross-guard. The blade is dark silver in the middle with a gradient into light silver towards the edges. The end of the sword is blunt and square, although the edges are incredibly sharp, and black swirls are engraved into the blade.

Holstered/Inactive Form: A dark brown sheath placed in the loop of Tsuki's belt.

Form: It's a normal blunt sword. It has no other forms.

Usage: Tsuki has a very defensive fighting style when using Sycamore, as  she uses it to deflect any and all types of attacks and, once close enough, knocks people out with the pommel or blunt end of it.

Notes:

Although it has sharp edges, Tsuki refuses to harm any living creature with it, instead using it's edges to remove objects (buildings, Atlas' Robots, etc) from her way or to break an enemy's weapon.

Despite it being named Sycamore, the sword itself has no physical representation of a Sycamore Tree. Instead, it's what it symbolizes that resembles the Sycamore Tree. A sycamore represents Nature, Love, and Inspiration, much like how a Curtana sword is known as a Sword of Mercy. Tsuki combines the symbolism to use the sword as a Symbol of her Love and Mercy for all enemies she uses it on.

She made this weapon first, with the help of a good friend at the academy she attended prior to Shade. She had only just started attending and was told she would need some sort of weapon to work with, so she asked her friend to help her out. Sycamore was born with their combined efforts.

Name: Odium - general or widespread hatred or disgust directed toward someone as a result of their actions

Wielder: Tsuki Akiba

Maker/Smith: Tsuki Akiba

Type: Metal Storm Arm Alloy (MSAA)

Derivation: Prosthetic Arm ; Metal Storm Technology

Design: An arm made from multiple different metals melted into one singular weapon and colored pitch black. It's wired into her torso, connecting all of the nerves to the arm, and the bicep area is taken up by a pneumatics system. The forearm is filled with 6 barrels filled with 6 bullets per barrel, each barrel with a different type of Dust bullet, except for two normal barrels. The palm has 6 bullet-sized holes in it to allow for 6 bullets to be shot at once. The rest of the arm is wired to connect the pneumatics system to the whole arm. The claws are incredibly sharp and the joints have a thick rim around them that separates them into individual sections, allowing them to be removed for maintenance. Otherwise, the arm is seamless and smooth, with a very glossy finish.

Holstered/Inactive Form: A pitch black mechanical arm, starting at her shoulder, with extremely sharp claws.

Form 1: The outlines of the rimmed edges of the joints light up with her light tan Aura.

Form 2: It detaches from her body, a tendril of her Aura keeping it connected to her, and she is able to use it just as usual, except with a much farther reach. This tears up the wires connecting it to her body, so she rarely resorts to using this form.

Form 3: It separates into pieces, detaching at the joints, and stays connected with varying sizes of tendrils (thicker for larger pieces, thinner for smaller pieces), and she is able to use the pieces in a variety of ways. This completely destroys the wires inside her arm, so she has only used this form once.

Dust Capacity: Any type of Dust is siphoned into bullets. This allows her bullets to have different affects (Earth - bullet becomes heavier and packs more damage, Fire - bullet explodes upon impact, etc.)

Ammunition: .32 cal, 6 bullets per barrel

Usage:

Tsuki uses it as her last line of offense, as she becomes incredibly aggressive when using it. She attacks her opponents head on, pushing them to retaliate at full power, and doesn't relent until they are unable to continue fighting in any way.

She only fires the bullets when she is unable to close the distance between her and an enemy without taking damage or if they would work better for an attack.

Notes:

Tsuki began making this weapon while she attended an academy prior to Shade. She was nearing the end of her attending that academy, so wanted a better weapon to rely on than Sycamore. She enlisted the help of several professors and students to help her get the materials she needed, as well as someone who would be able to install the systems.

She didn't figure out how to properly use it for weeks after she attached it, as she hadn't been very proficient with the mechanics at first, as well as the pain of using it, but, over the course of a few years, finally mastered using the arm.

Despite the fact that she becomes much more agressive when using Odium, she has never actually killed anyone by it's use. She has sent people to the hospital, some with much more serious injuries than others, but all of her opponents have survived fighting her.

Whenever she uses it, she keeps in mind what happened before with the Grimm, fueling her aggressive fighting style.

I hope these are alright. I would hate for them to be really unbalanced like before, so I hope you all can help me fix any problems with these!
