 * Name: The Odd Quarter ;
 * Wielder: TBD;
 * Maker/Smith: TBD;
 * Type: Variant Ballistic Claw Staff
 * Weapon Derivation: The zhua...the staff claw not the grapple hook shaped like a claw;
 * Holstered/Inactive Form: a mechanical forearm guard with a riffle barrel mounted on top of it that can be reloaded from the side closest to the elbow; can be fired in this form making for a useful surprise tool;
 * Form 1: 3 slightly claw like blades of roughly 20 cm (about 8 inches) come out of the weapon, resting in between the knuckles and the barrels in order to be used to both stab and slice opponents as well as a mobility aid;
 * Form 2: gun barrel rotates till it points in the oposite direction as the guard extends its length and detaches from the arm, becoming a pole arm with a cat claw as the tip; in this form the claws can bend 90 degree to turn the polearm into a scythe with a forked blade, while still being able to fire dust rounds from the opposite end;
 * Dust Capacity: one or two fire rounds that causes more flash than damage, for when you need a quick getaway;
 * Ammunition: Can hold up to 7 rounds and is reloaded manually;
 * Usage: though hard to conceal due to it's bulk, the claws as well as it's alternate form can still catch people off guard even if you do manage to take a good look at it. The polearm form is generally more useful against grimm due to the range it offers with the claws as well as the dead angles it can reach when they bend, while the compact form is more useful against humans where you can use it as a makeshift shield;
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: More dust type rounds and higher ammo magazine;
 * Notes: named as a reference to it having 4 ends, 3 of them are symmetrical claw tips and the last is a gun barrel.
