 * Name: Shu Dao (tree cutter)
 * Wielder:Lan Tsyu
 * Maker/Smith:Lan Tsyu
 * Type: Ballistic Enhanced Chain Spade (BECS)
 * Weapon Derivation: monks spade, chain blade, shotgun
 * Form 1:a 5' long monks spade. the bottom has a standard 6" wide crescent blade, while the opposite end is equipped with a spade blade connected to an extremely long(around 200 feet) coil of high-tensile wire stored inside the weapon. the blade is launched by a small explosived dust crystal stored inside the body, and retracted by a motorized spool.
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: the crescent blade collapses in on itself and retracts into the haft, while the shaft shortens to about half the normal length, resembling a gardening shovel. the weapon is stored on a belt hook.
 * Features/Capabilities:
 * Usage: while a Shu Dao is an extremely versatile weapon, Lan Tsyu mostly uses it for CQC, preferring to stay in proximity to her opponent. while fighting human enemies, this serves to allow her to sabotage the enemy's weapon, jammng safety mechanisms and removing magazines. aganst Grimm, she tends to go for disabling strikes by cuasing damage to the limbs before ultimately coiling the wire around its neck and going for decapitation, be it internal or external.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades:final version from a family of extremely overcomplicated and unwieldy prototypes
 * Notes: none
