The time has come; I'm rewriting some characters to reflect post-battle of beacon stuff, and I decided a long time ago this would be built after that because of the difficulty in fighting the Paladins.

-Name: Gräuel -Wielder: Brock Rotguss -Maker/Smith: Brock Rotguss with assistance from Oluja Bogdan and Argento Caden -Classification: Photon Exciting Chain Blade -Weapon Derivation: chainsaw, industrial cutting laser -Design: Gräuel strongly resembles an ordinary chainsaw with a 2’ guide bar; the sides of the guide bar are engraved with the image of a charging boar; a seam is visible across the middle of the guide bare. The top handle is solid metal while the control grip is polymer based, and the whole unit is painted gunmetal grey and dark green -Holstered/Inactive Form: slung over the back in a specially designed sheath -Form 1: A chainsaw, rather than a traditional chain, a specially designed EMF generator creates a loop to contain a high-energy plasma stream generated in the engine housing. -Form 2: Engine stops outputting the plasma stream and the guide bar splits at the middle, revealing a large laser diode capable of emitting a high-intensity cutting beam for extended bursts -Features: variable intensity for plasma saw and cutting laser to save dust, automatic shutoff due to frequent overheating problems.

lightning dust is the primary fuel source, however other elements can be used in conjunction with the lightning generating power in order to elementize the stream -Dust Capacity: --Lightning: primary power source within the engine --Fire: used to increase thermal energy of the plasma blade or laser in order to cut or weld metals in combat --Ice: laser freezes targets on contact rather than cutting through it --Water: increase energy intensity without altering thermal energy, increasing cutting power of the plasma blade and boosting precision of the laser -Ammunition: dust batteries -Usage: Gräuel was designed for one primary reason; to cut through any form of armor as quickly as possible and shred apart anything hiding behind it; Brock uses it mainly against heavily armored grimm, however he has performed extensive testing against armor plating salvaged from wrecked Atlesian Paladins to ensure it is up to the task of combatting them in the event he faces a rogue unit in the future -Planned/Possible Upgrades: replacement for his original weapon, designed after Battle of Beacon in order to combat heavy armor. -Notes: Gräuel is German, meaning abomination, atrocity, or horror
