 * Name: (Undecided, open for suggestions)
 * Wielder: "The Orphan"
 * Maker/Smith: Unknown. While the sword is believed to be from after or during The War, the shield might actually be of a more recent design and engineering.
 * Type: (Foldable... something something? anyone got suggestions for a fancy name/type for this thing? :/)
 * Form 1: Shield. The armor expands and folds into a shield.
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: As a piece of armor.
 * Features/Capabilities: The armor piece has straps or clamps on the inside that allow it to be attached to the upper or lower arm (depending on the user's preference). When activated, it can fold and expand into a shield. When not in use, it compresses and folds back to its dormant state.
 * Usage: While "The Orphan" doesn't usually use shields, he keeps this one around just in case. It might weigh him down a bit since he relies on agility, but it's a sacrifice he's willing to make.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: Might include the ability to protrude a hidden blade from the center should "The Orphan"'s saga take him beyond his first year. Maybe like how Megatron had a hidden blade in his Fusion Cannon in Transformers: Prime.
 * Notes: It's actually a bit of a ported concept for a tool for a non-RWBY OC of mine. Hasn't really been revealed on that dude's side of the universe... and likely won't be for a while.
