DESCRIPTION

Why create regular lightsabers, when Enryu Corps can grant you a lightsaber like any other. Although it would seem that the lightsaber model is for a reason of appearence, it gives the user more advantage when in combat against another lightsaber...and of course it look freaking good in the process.

But the advantage itself comes from the thing that makes the lightsaber different from others. And that is the stick that comes from the lightsaber hilt, that doesnt touch the plasma saber once the lightsaber is turned on, but controls the length. If the user wants it, the blade could reach from a minimun of ten centimeters, to a maximun of sixty. The length of the saber is decided by the stick, that defines the reach. It doesnt change the performance in any way.

The advantage would be if the user needed to fight in a close or open spaces. So the user would always be able to use it in any close combat situation.

Hey there! A couple of questions, before I can stamp this.

Are you saying that the 'stick' that extends itself across the length of the saber is lightsaber resistant? If so, what material does it use to become lightsaber resistant.

Also, are you aware that you do not need to actually come up with a rationale to have the saber in this shape? The Darksaber, notably, had a similar shape. So, if this is simply to attain an interesting shape, you do not need the 'stick' for this.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

Yes, the lightsaber have a thin stick that extends when the lightsaber is on. The difference betwen the darksaber and this is the bounce effect that i explain.

The stick is made from aluminium, and never touches the lightsaber. Its on the edge as it is shown on the image, compacting the plasma of the crystal. This forms the bounce effect

Aluminium is not a lightsaber resistant material. The lightsaber would cut right through it instead.

What do you mean with a 'bouncing' effect?

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

Alright edit a couple of things. Took out the bouncing effect thing. The aluminium stick wouldnt be touching the lightsaber, it would be outside of the blade

Okay, I see your changes.

What do you really want out of this lightsaber? I assume that you aren't just interested in the aesthetic, but also want some special effect to it?

If you tell me what your end goal is, I can help you move towards it. Because right now aluminium doesn't have any lightsaber resistant proporties and it wouldn't make the saber cut through things easier.

But I can tell you ways that you could make that happen, if that's the way you want it to go.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

Well as the description says. A blade that cuts better and swiftly than regular lightsaber, but because of the density in the blade. It would not affect in anyway the performance against another lightsaber of course. [member='Tai Fa']

Just checking.

As I have mentioned before, the aluminium rod isn't lightsaber-resistant. But the main issue is that it doesn't work the way you want it to work, honestly.

You can certainly have this particular aesthetic without explaining it and simply stating that the lightsaber is more powerful, because... well, for instance, maybe because it has an additional power-pack that can be attached to it. Or maybe its lightsaber crystal gives it better cutting capabilities.

All of those are acceptable, but what you are trying to do doesn't really fit with the scope of a lightsaber.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

Well i want this saber to have at least one good quality for this saber. How about having the stick to control the length of the saber? Like if the user wants it to be ten or twenty or full length, its his/her choice. Of course i would edit the materials and add one metal that is lightsaber resistant
