- Name: Northbound Wind

- Wielder: Vento Soleli

- Maker/Smith: Vento Solei

- Classification: Wind Dust Arm Bracers (WDAS)

- Weapon Derivation:Mechanical Shaver,Galeforce,D.Va’s Mecha Guns, Bakugou’s Arm Weapons

- Form 1 Design: Currently it has no inactive design though a potentially inactive design could be possible. Currently it is stored at the user’s side. In terms of the weapon’s design - it looks similar to a Mechanical Shaver in terms of design, though it’s more elongated and bigger than a shaver. The weapon is separated into two halves with a groove at the back that allows the user to fit their arms through. There is also a joystick like trigger that allows the user to fire the weapon. At the end of the weapon is a circular head with three barrels that fires out wind dust It has a grove that allows the user to fit their arm through and a joystick like trigger.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: In terms of aesthetic designs, it is meant to resemble the more militaristic feel of Atlas Academy due the user being from there though it uses a black colour scheme rather than a white one which a lot of Atlas Weapons tend to it. The other main colour besides from black is the blue and grey stripes in the middle of the weapon with the blue stripe in particular being used as a motif in the user (with his outfit having the same blue stripe). The stripe is also able to change colour in case it needs (like turning it black when he wants to hide himself).

- Dust Usage: When it comes to the weapon, it only uses one type of dust - that being Wind Type Dust. The Wind Dust is stored inside of the weapon. More Wind Dust can be inserted into the weapon through the back of the weapon and used whilst in combat

- Usage:

Wind Attacks:

Whilst in combat, the user’s main method of using the weapon is through producing wind tornados via the barrels at the front of the weapon. This is done through the use of wind dust and press on the trigger and motioning forward. These horizontal wind tornados fire off in a straight line and with enough force can easily break stone and other materials. The user can choose which barrel he wants to fire at any given time - for example he can fire one wind dust tornado or he can fire off all three for more powerful but drains dust quicker. While this is the user’s main method of attacking from a distance he can use use it at close range - following up a hit from the weapon with a tornado to blow them away. The main disadvantage with the Wind Attacks are it drains a considerable amount of dust so the user needs as much wind dust stored as possible.

Wind Attacks - Defensive.

While he relies on his Wind Attacks mostly as an offensive tool, He can also use it defensively as he can use a wind blast in order to protect himself from attacks and blow the enemy’s weapon out of his or her hands. He can also use the wind to prevent a thrusting attack from connecting.

Close Quarters Combat - Offensive.

When he is at a close range, he relies more on close quarters combat rather then his wind attacks. When he is at close range he employs a fighting style similar to Slugger Style Boxing, He will often use the weapon as a physical hit before attacking them with a wind attack. While he does use some kicks - he mostly employs punches and focused on big powerful hits over speed.

Close Quarters Combat - Defensive.

He can also use the weapon as a defensive weapon - due to its size he can use the weapon to protect his face from harm (since he wields two of them at once). As well as be used to block attacks such as strikes and even ranged projectiles like how Yang uses her metal arm to block Adam’s attack.

Maneuverability.

While in combat, he can use the wind blasts in order to maneuver himself around in the battlefield. He does through putting his hands behind him and then firing the wind blast behind him at an object (mostly likely an wall) in order to propel himself forward. Due to the user’s usual slow speed - he used this method of maneuverability in order to make up for his slow speed. He can also achieve temporally flight by pointing his arms to the ground and then pressing the trigger in order to lift up upwards. While this is a good method of gaining vertical height, it also requires all three barrels in order to do and as such drains a lot of dust.

Overall:

Overall, despite this weapon’s clear downsides - it is an effective weapon whilst in combat and quite good at killing Grimm and fighting other human opponents.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: Currently the user is looking to improve the dust storage in the weapon so he is able to store even more wind dust.

- Notes: Both the Weapon’s Name and the User are based on the Aesop Fable - The North Wind and the Sun which involves. The Sun and the North Wind getting into a competition on who is the stronger of the two. The user’s name is based around the Sun while the Weapon’s Name is based around the North Wind.
