 * Name: Peque'ña' Muerte (Little Death in Spanish)
 * Wielder: Mari Tagetes
 * Maker/Smith: Mari Tagetes
 * Type: High Speed Draw Katana (HSDK)
 * Weapon Derivation: Katana (Iaido)
 * Holstered/Inactive Form: When holstered, PM appears as a simple blade hanging from the back of the belt on two straps, its sheath possessing three large discs located at intervals along the blade. Each disc has a skull painted on it.
 * Form 1: When active, the discs along the blade split, making it look like the mouths of the skulls are open, the discs begin to glow. Each disc is a motor used to accelerate the blade out of the sheath. The 'open' disc beginning its rotation before it closes again, engaging the launch.
 * Usage: Used in the draw style, Mari begins combat testing her enemy with basic attacks. As she guages her enemy's strength, she engages the motors on her blade to create faster and more powerful slashes.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: Possibly add some sort of dust cartridge function to give the blade added effect when slashing.
 * Notes: The name, 'Little Death' comes from the Litany of Fear from Dune. As it's designed, the majority of the force from the blade comes from the motors with Mari simply guiding the slash, unfortunately, when all three are engaged it produces more force that she can realistically control, meaning if the enemy is strong enough to warrant the full power of the blade, she basically has one shot to kill them or she'll wrench her shoulder and be unable to go for a second right after.
