And now for something completely different.

Name: Serious Business Wielder: Cicero Wentworth Maker/Smith: Cicero Wentworth Classification: Tower Shield Briefcase Sword Weapon Derivation: briefcase, tower shield, various oversized swords. Design: A black hard-sided metal briefcase measuring two feet long by one and a half feet tall; 6 inches thick with gold trim and the user’s symbol (a pair of scales with a sword for a center post) on one side. On the side opposite the symbol are three magnetic locking bolts. In shield form, Serious Business is rectangular; 6’ tall and 3’ wide, with a thickness of roughly ¼ inch. Serious Business’ sword form is a 3’ long, 1’ wide sword measuring ½ an inch thick with no guard and a rounded, blunt tip. The hilt is two handed, and the symbol is at the base of the blade above the handle. The loc Holstered/Inactive Form: Form 1 Form 1: A normal looking but slightly oversized briefcase. Form 2: When locked into place on the user’s gauntlet, the outer panels on the briefcase unfold to form a tower shield Form 3: Serious Business’ briefcase handle pivots and locks into place to form the handle for a sword and the outer shell arranges itself to form a 3’ long, 1’ wide sword with an abnormally thick blade and round, blunt tip; resembling an oversized executioners sword Features: Any documents stored inside the briefcase for mare safely contained in a lockbox that remains part of the weapon. Depending on current form, the lockbox is either at the middle of the tower shield (bridging the gauntlet and the shield) or inside the base of the sword’s blade. Dust Capacity: Gravity dust and stone dust. Powder, stored in canisters affixed to the sides of the lockbox inside the briefcase form Usage: Serious Business is used for close combat, primarily as a defensive or brute force weapon; relying on pure strength rather than finesse or dexterity in order to defeat foes. Dust is used for increasing the impact of attacks Planned/Possible Upgrades: TBD Notes: The user is a huntsman/lawyer, he has a fondness for puns related to law enforcement and the judiciary system but is generally completely serious.
