Where Stardust Gathers
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Hollow-Tip Mechanism: Reservoirs built into the knife tips vent or crack on impact, releasing toxins, drugs, or oils into the wound.
- Refillable vs. One-Use:
- Standard Hexfangs are refillable, allowing multiple uses with poisons, hallucinogens, or oils.
- Specialized explosive/incendiary knives are one-use only, as the tip and payload are destroyed on detonation.
- Phrik Alloy Tips: Resilient and sharp enough to pierce light to moderate armor when thrown with force or guided by the Force.
- Versatile Payloads:
- Pixie Rush - Neutron Pixie derivative (hallucinogenic, euphoria + paranoia).
- Gravekiss - paralytic neurotoxin (progressive muscle lock).
- Ashfang Resin - volatile explosive resin (one-use only).
- Hexweave Oil - alchemically enhanced smoke that manifests illusory shapes.
- Venomfire - incendiary alchemical resin that ignites into magenta flame, burns hotter than normal fire but unstable.
- Armor-Piercing Tips: Phrik alloy points allow penetration against light and some medium armor types.
- Versatility: Multiple payloads for lethal, non-lethal, or utility uses.
- Concealable: Small, easy to carry and hide.
- Psychological Impact: Witchy aesthetics (smoke illusions, magenta flame) cause fear and confusion.
- Force Synergy: Can be guided or recalled by the Force for added lethality.
- Limited Payloads: Each knife must be preloaded; a miss wastes the payload.
- Volatile Explosives: Ashfang Resin knives are unstable and cannot be refilled; Juniper carries only a few.
- Inconsistent Effects: Hallucinogenic payloads may embolden targets instead of disabling them.
- Short Range: Throwing knives are far less effective at distance compared to blasters.
- Dangerous to User: Mishandling volatile or alchemical payloads risks harming Juniper herself.
Juniper Le Fey's Hexfangs are a collection of sleek, balanced throwing knives tailored to her bounty hunter work and her shadowy reputation. Forged with durasteel bodies and phrik alloy tips, they are light, precise, and sharp enough to pierce light and moderate armor if thrown with strength or aided by the Force.
Each blade uses a hollow-tip design: a reservoir built into the point that vents or cracks on impact, releasing its payload. Standard Hexfangs are refillable, able to be cleaned and reloaded with new toxins, drugs, or alchemical oils. Specialized variants- such as Ashfang Resin and Venomfire- are consumed entirely on use, leaving the blade ruined after detonation.
Her arsenal includes Pixie Rush, a hallucinogenic spice derivative that floods victims with euphoria and paranoia; Gravekiss, a creeping neurotoxin that paralyzes its target while leaving them conscious; Ashfang Resin, volatile explosives that turn the knives into one-use bombs; Hexweave Oil, which bursts into alchemical smoke illusions; and Venomfire, a resin that ignites into unstable magenta flame.
While not as fast or reliable as a blaster, Hexfangs give Juniper flexibility, flair, and fear. They reflect her dual identity as a mercenary and a dark mystic, pragmatic weapons with witchy aesthetics that turn every throw into a performance.
