This is really more of a formality at this point, but I might as well put effort into it. Here's the finished template for that weapon I've been working on. (WITH COLORED VISUAL AID, YAY.)




 * Name: Asundearth


 * Wielder: Horner Plumbum


 * Maker/Smith: Horner Plumbum


 * Classification:  Portable Heavy Pneumatic Hammer (PHPH)


 * Weapon Derivation: Giant freaking warhammers. Also, obviously, jackhammers.


 * Design:  A very large, mechanical warhammer/jackhammer hybrid. The central portion is dark purple and cube-shaped with two black grips protruding from it, one on top and the other on one of the sides, along with four pyramid-shaped "spikes" on the upper end of the weapon, while the opposite end narrows down to a dark grey tube shape, culminating in a drill. One of the aforementioned grips is stationary, but the other grip can be rotated 90 degrees, which causes a large handle to fold out from within the central portion of the weapon, and triggering the warhammer mode transformation. Within the weapon's is a pneumatic-piston-based motion system. There are five pistons in total; four of them are small, while one is notably large. The four small ones are located closer to the blunt end of the hammerhead, 'behind' each of the four spikes, and in addition to increasing striking power, each one is filled with Earth Dust that is released through small hole at the tip of each spike. The fifth piston, active only when the weapon is in it's jackhammer mode, rapidly oscilates to turn the drill at it's end into a simultaneous piercing, shredding, and hammering tool. Because these mechanisms generate a great deal of internal heat, a pair of heat exhaust tubes are located on each side of the weapon, ejected in the form of hot air bursts.


 * Holstered/Inactive Form:  The weapon cartmentalizes all it's functions, so nothing from either of it's active forms is jutting out. Granted, the resulting cube/tube is still quite large, which means it's fortunate that its wielder is large enough to keep it stored on his back.


 * Form 1:  A large warhammer with a flat-spiked square face on one end, and a narrower point on the other in the form of a drill.


 * Form 2:  A jackhammer, featuring two means by which to hold it (that is, two different sets of grips to hold it by, one being the standard grips and the other being the less-safe-but-still-viable exhaust tubes), and a very powerful drill attached to an oscillating piston.


 * Features:  The inside of the weapon obviously requires maintenance rather often, so the side of the base with the stationary grip also double as a thick lid, which can be pulled open after pressing a button on the grip so Horner can replace Dust, and fix or replace parts if need be. You wouldn't believe it, but there's also a small snack compartment in there. Yeah. If it sounds ridiculous, that's cause it is.


 * Dust Capacity:  The weapon's internal piston mechanisms are fueled by Dust, naturally. However, the weapon also uses Earth Dust in an offensive manner while in warhammer form. Hammer strikes with Earth Dust behind them are slightly more forceful than regular ones, but the Dust is mainly used to generate a variety of earth-based effects when the hammer strikes the ground directly. Small localized earthquakes, fissures, generating rock spires from point-of-impact, and just utterly demoloshing the ground general, are included in the possible effects.


 * Usage:  The weapon is very large and very heavy, which naturally makes it's melee attacks extremely powerful. However, this makes it appropriately difficult to wield. While it's wielder is easily strong enough to not be sluggish with the weapon, neither are they capable of moving as quickly as many Hunters, and it shows in the fighting style. The weapon is wielded in a slow, but devastating style; while they may be relatively easy to dodge, each attack has enormous power behind it, and Horner is profficient at timing his attacks to compensate for the slower speed.


 * Notes:  The name is a blend of the words 'asunder' and 'earth'. Asunder means "apart; divided; broken/split into many pieces", which accurately describes what this weapon does to its targets, especially if that target happens to be the ground itself.
