- Name: Bogmyrtle and Panver

- Wielder:Uaine Doineann (Scottish Gaelic for Green Gale)

- Maker/Smith: Unaine Doineann (Scottish Gaelic for Green Gale)

- Classification: Short Sword Halberd Hybrid (SSHH) and Small Dust Buckler Shield (SDBS)

- Weapon Derivation: Scotitsh Halberd, Milo, Celtic Sword, Buckler

Bogmyrtle:

- Form 1 Design: In its inactive form, the blade folds in near the handle and is stored at the user’s side. While active the Blade moves to a horizontal angle and the grip extends. It has a hidden dust compartment containing wind dust.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: In terms of patterns and decorations - it takes heavily after the Scottish and Iriish designs of weapons as well as colours with a lot of Pictish using Green and Brown in their designs. As such the blade while sharp has silver has been coated in green while the handle is brown. There are also gaelic patterns on the weapon (they are diamond patterns on the handle as well as a large diamond in the blade which is the symbol for the user’s family as well as the blade having black outlined to it.

- Form 2: In this form which is the Xiphos/Short Sword form - the sides of the Halbard’s blade go down to the handle and the remaining blade rotates upward so that it is pointing vertically. The handle outside of that doesn’t change appearance bu when using this form it looks like the blade is glowing.

- Form 2 Aesthetics: The aesthetics of the weapon are the same as previously with the brown handle with gaelic patterns and the green coloured blade with the diamond symbol on it.

Panver:

- Form 1: Panver’s only form is a Small Scottish Buckler Shield with a glowing semi-circle in the middle as well as small circles around the semi-circle.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: It uses the same green,brown and black colour scheme of Bogmyrtle but the pattern designs are a bit different but still important to the user’s family. The Semi-Circle also glows different colours depending on what type of dust is currently used in Panver.

- Dust Usage: 

 

Bogmyrtle:

'''Wind Dust is stored in Bogmyrtle and is currently the only dust that is used in Bogmyrtle, when activated it coats the weapon in wind dust which us useful especially in the Xiphos/Sword Sword Form - when used it creates wind slashes that can hurt the enemy from a distance as well as increase the cutting power and stabbing of the blade. If the user spins the weapon around then the user can create a small wind tunnel to blow enemies back '''

Panver:

'''Panver stores wind and water dust inside the semi-circle in the middle. Currently Water Dust isn’t used that often for Panver expect for one thing which i will explain later but Wind Dust is used to create a protective windshield to project the user from enemy attacks and then counterattack with Bogmyrtle. But when it comes to dust use - the user most commonly combined wind and water dust to create Ice Dust which causes the semi-circle to glow bright blue and anything that comes into contact with it will freeze (expect for the user) which makes for an effective plan. '''

- Usage: 

Bogmyrtle

Scottish Halberd Form:

'''When using the Scottish Halberd form - it is mostly used as a stabbing enemy. Bringing down the blade onto an enemy’s head - piercing right through their head and then removing it. The Scottish Halberd form can also be used to snag enemy blades and then stab them with force. Wind Dust can also be used to increase the sharpness of the blade allowing it to pierce Armoured Grimm’s Heads with a decent amount of ease. This form isn’t quite as used as the Short Sword Form though. '''

 

Short Sword/Xiphos Form:

'''Out of the two, this is easily the most used form for Bogmyrtle - with it’s blade - it is much more useful as a slashing weapon compared to the Scottish Halberd form which is mostly a stabbing enemy and used to finish off the job. Usually while fighting the user will use Bogmyrtle’s Short Sword Form and then finishing off the enemy with the Scottish Halberd Form. With wind dust - the user can offshoot one of the main weaknesses for this weapon - that being it’s range and slash at the enemy from a distance (as long as they don’t dodge it).'''

'''Overall these two weapons combined make for a rather effective weapon with different advantages and disadvantages though it’s main weakness is it’s lack of range or gun options meaning it’s based suited as a close ranged combat weapon rather then a weapon that you can use that effectively from a distance. The weapon works well with the user’s other weapon - Panver.'''

Panver:

'''When it comes to the use of Panver in combat - it is mostly used as a defensive weapon in order to block attacks and then strike back with Bogmyrtle. It can be used in order to block enemy attacks and projectiles. With dust this weapon becomes better with the wind dust repelling attacks back and with ice dust with the freeze anything the buckler comes into contact with. Unlike a lot of Shields - it cannot be thrown as a projectile due to it’s small size and shape but even still it’s pretty effective. The main issue with this weapon like with Bogmyrtle is range as in order to be most effective at blocking attacks - the enemy needs to be close quarters with you but it can block projectiles if it needs to.'''

'''Overall Bogmyrtle and Panver make for an effective weapon duo which are quite effective in combat despite their big weaknesses of lack of range. '''

'''- Planned/Possible Upgrades: The user currently wants to experiment with different types ol dust with Bogmyrtle. He also wants to see if giving Panver a Ring Blade would make it work more effectively or if it would just hinder it. '''

- Notes: 

'''-Bogmyrtle is Bog Myrtle without any Spaces which is a plant found in Northern and Western London including Scotland which is why I decided to go with the name. '''

-Panver is also another word for Poppy with is another plant that is found in Scotland

- Originally i was going to go with a gun mode but I ultimately decided against it.

'''- Originally it was going to be a Scottish Halberd that could transform into a Scythe but i wasn’t sure if it would work so I scrapped it. '''
