 - Name: Taranis (Named after the Celtic God of Thunder)

 - Wielder: Gorse Citrine

 - Maker/Smith: Gorse Citrine

 - Classification: Electric Rail Gun Swords (ESRG)

 - Weapon Derivation: Leo Whitefang Dual Greatswords, Railgun

 - Form 1 Design: The Great Sword form of Taranis takes the form of two Great Swords similar in shape to Leo Whitefang’s weapons. There are a couple of differences - first there is a trigger that is used for the raingun mode. Secondly the Sword Part of the Great Sword is split up into different segments in order to make sure that it works when the Railgun form is activated.Like Leo the way that the weapon is held is through a small handle at the bottom of the weapon. He grips onto the handle like this.

 - Form 1 Aesthetics: In terms of the colour scheme - It mainly uses a combination of yellow and silver at the sides. White and blue for the Dust Carousel as well a bit of red. The design also has some celtic looking runes that have been escribed onto the blade. The colour of the trigger is black. Overall in terms of aesthetics it is meant to convey a sense of power as well as tradition.

 - Form 2: With a press of a button the lower part of the weapon curves down in order to allow the user to use it with one hand. The Blade Portion also splits up into two different segments and a small electrical beam shoots out of the weapons thanks to the use of electrical dust. The Electrical Gun fun is about the same size/shape as a railgun and can be used with one hand though with two hands he can be more precise with the aiming.

 - Form 2 Aesthetics: In terms of the Aesthetics of the weapon - it stays relatively the same expect for the hilt and the giant sword being split up.

 - Dust Usage: The user uses Electric Dust (which is carried inside a Dust Carousel) - it is used for the raingun portion of the weapon as ammo. Without it the weapon wouldn’t be able to function. The user also can apply electric dust to the great sword but he doesn’t tend to do that since it drains the electric dust and he needs that for his ranged weapon

 - Usage: Great Sword Form - In terms of how the user uses this weapon. He uses it in a very similar way to how Leo Whitefang uses his sword. He holds the Dual Greatswords like this and this while is extremely slow when using this method of attack - more than makes up for it for the length of the blade as well as the size of the weapon being able to easily chop up larger/tanker Grimm but may end up struggling against smaller,faster Grimm.When using this form he basically acts as the user’s tank being able to easily tank damage and then dishing it back with a large amount of force despite his slow speed.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Railgun Form - The user does have a ranged option through the Rain Gun mode. Usually if maneuvering he will switch to this form as it is slightly easier to carry and can be placed on the the user’s back. When the user presses the trigger he can fire off a beam of electrical energy that is decently powerful and can kill off Smaller Grimm but may find trouble with the tougher Grimm. The user can also charge the beam fired off so it becomes more deadly but the user has to charge it and can’t quickly press the trigger. Overall this is an effective ranged method with dealing with an enemies at a distance.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> - Planned/Possible Upgrades: The user wants make sure that the amount of electric dust he can carry in the weapon is upgraded at any one time.
