So, I'm thinking of making a weapon for an oc. I'm afraid I haven't thought it out too far, as I don't know /too/ much about the canon of Remnant.  
 * Name: Currently un-named.
 * Wielder: Currently unimportant. Mostly because I haven't decided whether this will be used by a new OC or not. I probably will.
 * Maker/Smith: Same as the above. Though the reason here is because I don't have anyone to put here currently.
 * Type: High Velocity Wire Spike Gauntlets (HVWSG)
 * Derivation: This gauntlets were inpired by Cross Tails in Akame Ga Kill.
 * Form 1: A pair of gauntlets (Probably blue in colour) similar in appearance to Ember Celica, but extending up to the elbow. Two wire 'spools' can be found arranged horizontally (The ends of the spools facing the wrists and top of the gauntlets) near the wrist in each gauntlet, totalling at 4 all together. Two spikes (The ends of the wire, making the weapon similar to multiple rope darts), in line with these spools, can be found at the front of the gauntlets above the index finger and ring finger. These spikes can be fired off indepentently of each other by releasing the safety switches (located at the elbow, to keep them out of the way. They are easy to use indepentently or all at once, so removing the safety quickly is easy) then rapidly closing and opening your fist to activate the trigger (to only fire one, only do this with one finger, corresponding to the wire you wish to use (Index finger for the one directly above it, and pinky for the other). As suggested, these spikes reach a high velotiy when fired. The spools on which the wire is stored are kept in place by magnetic suspension (powered by the users aura, possibly?) to provide minimal resistance- as such, only reaching the end of the spool will slow the spikes down (On the weapons part, any-how). To reel it in, you simply do the same, but wait for a few moments after raising your finger(s) before lowering them again. As the name suggests, this wire is sharp. It is also rather strong, with a diameter of about a quarter of a centimeter and made from a strong material (I'm not sure what material. I want it to be strong and tensile, but not indestructible. It is wire after all, it can be replaced. Think the wire that Penny uses with her swords, but thick enough to easily be seen, like a cable). The wires (on appication of a current or dust, perhaps) stiffen into the shape that they currently hold, making them good for defence or containment.
 * Form 2: This weapon itself has no other forms, other than it's holstered form, but instead works in conjunction with another weapon (I wasn't sure if they should be on the same layout, so I put them on seperate ones)
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: The gauntlets shrinks down into bracers, not 'bracelets' (If you can even call them that) like Yang's do. This is due to the wire and spike containment. The spools re-align themselves, with their ends to the front and back of the gauntlets/bracers and the spike is pulled in towards the spool.
 * Features/Capabilities: All are mentioned in form 1.
 * Usage: The gauntlets are used in partnership with a sword, to be described next, but on their own the spikes make getting hit by them no joke- though more of a joke than when Yang hits you. The firing of the spikes allows for a similar use as how Penny uses her blades (Eg, embed it into an immovable object and pull yourself towards it/swing from it, or into a moveable object to throw it around).
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: The spikes can be changed out to different things, such as hooks, to give the firing mode different uses. A possible upgrade could be a pistol barrel between the spikes, fired using the middle finger using dust ammo.
 * Notes: None.
 * Type: Gunblade Longsword (GBLS)
 * Weapon Derivation: I can't remember if this is inspired by something I saw, or simply my own brainchild. I think I thought it up after seeing blades hidden in guns, but not the other way around.
 * Form 1: A black, single bladed longsword with a split down the middle of the blade, and half of the blade being slightly longer than the other (Resulting in a bit of overlap). There is a rotary barrel for dust in the hilt, with the changing mechanism being operated by the thumb. The hilt of the sword is biased towards the wrist (Like the Elucidator from SAO . Not shape wise, just as an example) to protect against any strikes that slide down the top of the blade. Within this part of the hilt dust can be used. For example, green dust to provide extra force to swings.
 * Form 2: The blades can move apart to give the sword a double-bladed appearance. This transition is quick and reveals a barrel set into the hilt, which can be used to fire dust ammunition.
 * Form 3: When the blade is in its opened state, the blade can be shifted down so that the blade is in line with the arm. The blade can be kept open in this form, or it can be closer, serving to add a second way to use it as a sword and increase its accuracy as a gun.
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: (How it looks when not in use)
 * Features/Capabilities: When fired with red dust, the result is an explosive fire bolt. When fired with yellow dust, the result is bolts of lightning, much like what you would see from a telsa coil.
 * Usage: The opening and closing of the blade can be used to catch an attackers weapon if opened and closed at the right time, allowing for an effective disarming method.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: I'm not too sure. Suggestions?
 * Notes: None.

Now that I am done writing all of that, I'm not too sure how much I really like the gauntlets, really.
