 * Name: Crimson Gladious
 * Wielder: Rubeus Virtus
 * Maker/Smith: Rubeus Virtus
 * Classification:  ??? (Not sure what the classifictation would be - any advice)
 * Weapon Derivation: Lance, Roman Shield
 * Design: The design of the weapon is based on the Traditional Lance, the handle of the weapon being coated in crimson which fits it's name. After the handle there is a rotating carasoul which contains dust and a trigger which when squeezed allies the dust similar to Weiss's weapon. The lance part of the weapon is made out of steel. The Shield was inspired by Classical Roman Shields - for example this, The Shield is extremely big - about the size of a traditional Roman Shield.
 * Holstered/Inactive Form: The use carries the Shield on his back via a strap. He usually carries the Spear with him at all times though sometimes he places the lance behind his back when he needs to use his hands.

Like Weiss's weapon Crimson Gladious using Dust vials. With a press of a trigger dust is applied to the lance (like Weiss's weapon) and there are a total of four slots. This can give Rubeus a leg up on combat. Currently the dust he can use are - Fire,Ice,Wind,Electric. <span style="color:rgb(183,183,183);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;">)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(183,183,183);">Usage: In terms of fighting style the user focuses on defense and strength more then anything else. Rubeus role in the team is to protect his allies via using his shield to block attacks and then counteracting with a slow but powerful stab from his lance. Due to the user's shield  he can block attacks from extremely powerful grimm and allow his teamates the opportunity to flank the enemy and take them out. Due to his lance's size and strength he can hit just as hard. Like Weiss's weapon his Lance has a multifictional dust carasoul which can give certain effects to his Lance.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(183,183,183);">For example - If he uses fire dust he can created a wave of fire or inflict fire damage against a strong foe. With ice dust he can create a wave of ice crystals which are especially useful for rooting enemies on the spot or cause ice damage to an enemy. With electric dust he can create a field of electricity near him by stabbing his weapon into the ground which electrifies anyone near him or electrify enemies near him. With wind dust by spinning his lance he can create a small tornado that will block projectiles or lift foes up to the air. He can also use wind dust to blow foes back.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> This makes the user suprisingly versitile and can use his Dust Lance to trip up or cause problems for foes. The user can also use his semblence which is similar to Flynt Coal's semblence as it produces copies on himself but instead they create a Roman testudo or tortoise formation in order to protect his allies though it severly hampers the user's speed.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> The only issue the user has is that his attacks can be predictable at times and that he lacks in the speed area meaning faster foes will destory him as he is a slower attacker. He is best at tanking attacks and then hitting back hard.

 * <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(183,183,183);">Notes: Crimson is a Strong Red Colour while Gladious is a type of flower that has often been compared to swords due to his sharp nature. Rubeus is Latin for Red and Virtus is a Roman God of War.
