the quartzite killer
- Intent: To force Kalporra into the Life Day spirit and give a CIS exchange gift
- Image Source: https://faststrike-europe.com/
- Canon Link: Vibrowhip
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Kalporra Flynn
- Affiliation: Individual Character & Closed-Market (PC name to be added as submission modification after thread reveal)
- Model: Not Applicable
- Modularity: The cord can be replaced should it fray or snap
- Production: Unique
- Material: Ultrasonic vibration generator, cortosis-weave, durasteel
- Classification: Vibrowhip
- Size: Small
- Weight: Average
- Cortosis-Durasteel Alloy: Because it is not made of pure cortosis, the whip’s cord is able only to block lightsabers, not to short them out.
- Gotta Go Fast: Though the whip’s end is blunt and flat, settings for the unltrasonic vibration generator, conveniently controlled with a switch on the side of the handle, allows for enough damage dealt to make up for it.
- Ergonomic Grip: The handle is not just comfortable, but easy to hold onto throughout wielding.
- Short but Not Sweet: Training wheels more than anything, this weapon is only effective at personal distances. Kindda a bummer, but Kalporra’s not one make-to-please.
SlipperyBrittle When Wet: The flexibility of the cordage is the main feature of any whip, but, with this one, the character of the metalwork – both chemical and physical – reacts poorly to excessive amounts of water. Specifically, water causes the space between ductility and brittle failure to decrease substantially.
If backhanded generosity wasn’t a thing before, Kal just made it one. After being forced to participate in the annual Life Day tradition, she found a way to gift passive aggressively. Disobeying what had all but been a direct order from a Master would not bode well for her, but she could still push back against the authority she so hated in her own way. Plus, stroking her own ego in a not-so-subtle way: yes, please.
Note to recipient in gift box: ‘Don’t get wet. Be careful. Xxxx.’
