Heads up. Spirit and I were toying with some staff-gun type weapon, so expect 2 of those in quick succession.

- Name: Cotton Cane

- Wielder: Linden

- Maker/Smith: Himself

- Classification: open to ideas

- Weapon Derivation: Rose Staff from Kid Icarus and Threaded Cane From Bloodborne

- Form 1 Design: a waist length staff combines with a pistol. The grip/pistol is aesthetically designed to look like a flintlock pistol, with the hammer functioning more like a switch and is unaffected by the trigger being pulled. The shaft has multiple spikes poking out of it in odd angles. The sole difference between it’s combat and concealed form lies in a retractable double edged blade locate at the tip of the staff.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: The grip/pistol is is primary red with the exception of the barrel and triggers which are white. The shaft of the staff and it’s spikes are green, while the tip and it’s concealed blade are white;

- Dust Usage: None outside of the fire dust in the bullets, which are manually inserted into an internal magazine that can house up to 8 shots;

- Usage: The tip blade is force activated and needs to be manually retracted post battle. The hammer switch makes the shaft of the staff segment and split, revealing internal wires that hold the pieces together and allow it to be used as a barbed whip of about 2 meters.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: More types of dust ammo;

- Notes: The name is a reference to cotton candy cane which are typically red and white which were used in it’s design. In addition, cotton threads are made of the cellulose from plants, of which roses belong to, which is a reference to the weapons that inspired this contraption;
