Really wanted to make a food based weapon


 *  Name: Kushitori
 *  Wielder: Aka Kusai (Red Fire)
 *  Maker/Smith: Aka Kusai (Red Fire)
 *  Classification: Dust Metal Ball Skewer  (DMBS)
 *  Weapon Derivation: Toriyaki, Skewer , Gyro Zeppeli's Steel Balls
 *  Design: In terms of design it is very similar to a traditional skewer being very long and very thin but there are a few differences. The first is that there is a crossguard hilt in order to make sure that the user’s hands are protected as well as a switch. The Balls are slightly larger than a Marble and they have a dust compartment as well as two holes at either end that can open or close depending if the balls are on the skewer.
 *  Holstered/Inactive Form:The balls are stored in a small bag that the user carries around with them. The two skewers are stored in a sheath that the user carries around in their waste.
 *  Form 1: Dual Dust Ball Skewer (Dust Balls on the Skewer)
 *  Form 2: Dual Skewers
 *  Form 3: Twelve Dust Steel Balls
 *  Features:The Dust Balls have two small holes either end which the blade of the Skewer goes through. There is a switch which when pressed will release the steel balls form the skewer. Pressing the button again will make the balls come back to the skewer.
 *  Dust Capacity: Each Steel Ball has a small dust compartment and they can tap into the Dust for different effects - 4 of the Steel Balls use Fire Dust. The first Dust ones are the most powerful but the slowest. The Balls can turn into flaming balls. The Ice Dust ones are reasonably slow but cause freeze damage and hit at the ground can cause ice spikes to rise up. The Thunder Dust Steel Balls are the fastest but also the weakest. They can electrify foes.
 *  Usage: The user uses very different ways of fighting depending on what form he is using:
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Combined Form: The Skewers are the most effective at close range and due to the steel balls and their usage of dust. The Dust Balls will glow Red,Blue or Yellow depending on what dust they have so while fighting in melee combat the user can use the power of Ice,Fire,Thunder dust in battle at once. However, they will eventually run out of dust so the user needs to be careful. Usually Aka prioritises quick movements and stabbing strikes using the skewers long reach to its advantage. However the Steel Balls being on the skewer does slow down the weapon.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Balls: When a press of a button the balls will launch upwards from the skewer and the user can now use them as a ranged attack. These balls while being reasonably small still hit reasonably hard. The user controls them through his semblance which is control over electronics including the Steel Balls. These balls can be used in different ways - for example the user can launch them one at a time at fast speeds in order to keep his foe off guard. Secondly he can launch them all at once to make it more difficult for the foe to dodge. Thirdly he can utilize the different type of dust in the balls to added effect (for example he could send one of the ice dust balls to freeze a foe in place or electrify them with the electricity dust balls  - though doing this causes the risk of the dust in the balls draining fast). He can also use the dust steel balls as a defensive measure for example using the balls to protect himself from enemy attacks or making the balls form a wall in front of the user. The Dust Steel Balls are a deadly offensive and defensive weapon.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Skewer Form: Without the steel balls, The Skewers lose a considerable amount of power but the Skewer form gains a lot of speed. Due to the Skewers lack of weight the user can speed around the arena with relative ease attacking with quick stabs and slices. He can also use the balls in conjunction with the two skewers making for a very deadly moveset.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Overall: Aka Kusai is a jack of all trades but a master of none. He has a very diverse moveset but lacks a major strength. Also his weaks lack attacking power when compared to stronger weapons such as Ember Celica.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Planned/Possible Upgrades: The user wants to create more Steel Balls that use different kinds of dust.
