Approved Ranged Weapon TC-13 "Skulkers"

[Vexorion]

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Turn Me on Mr. Deadman
  
  • The throwing stars function as traditional balanced projectiles when unpowered, relying on precise weight and razor-edged metallurgy for silent, lethal accuracy. With a flick activation, each star ignites a high-powered plasma edge that sheaths the blades in searing energy, capable of cutting through armor and energy-resistant materials.
• Program Me, Or Hurl Me
  
  • The throwing stars can be hurled by hand with deadly precision, guided by the wielder's skill and instinct alone. Alternatively, they can be programmed mid-activation to lock onto a specific target, adjusting their trajectory in flight with micro-guidance systems. This allows the stars to either obey the thrower's intent or hunt their mark autonomously until impact.
• Hmm, Those Are Unfamiliar Fingerprints
  
  • The throwing stars are engineered with embedded biometric sensors that instantly read and verify fingerprints the moment they are handled. While anyone can physically throw or wield them, the internal power systems remain locked without the correct biometric authorization. Without the proper fingerprints, the stars stay inert, denying access to their energized plasma capabilities.

STRENGTHS

• Damaging, Indeed.
  
  • The throwing stars' strength lies in their exceptional cutting power, whether operating as finely honed physical blades or ignited with energized plasma edges. Even unpowered, their dense alloys and razor geometry allow them to slice through flesh, metals and alloys, and most armor with ease. When energized, that same precision is magnified into devastating cuts capable of breaching hardened defenses.
• I Can Soar Far
  
  • The throwing stars' strength lies in their ability to sight and track their surroundings, granting limited awareness of nearby movement and obstacles. Their sensors provide longe-range visual and spatial data, enough to adjust trajectory or confirm a target in close quarters.

WEAKNESSES

• Singularity Sux
  
  • One of the throwing stars' key weaknesses is their inability to function as a true rate-of-fire ranged weapon. Each star must be deployed individually, requiring deliberate action rather than sustained or rapid volleys. This limits their effectiveness against multiple fast-moving targets or in prolonged firefights.
• What? EMP / Ion...come again?
  
  • One of the throwing stars' weaknesses lies in their heavy reliance on internal electronics, making them highly vulnerable to EMP, ion, nullification, and suppression devices. Such interference can disable their guidance, sensing, and energized plasma functions, reducing them to simple physical blades. In some cases, Force-based abilities can similarly disrupt or override their systems, robbing them of their technological advantages at critical moments.

DESCRIPTION

The concept of the throwing stars was born not from elegance, but from Vexorion's obsession with control and inevitability. In the depths of his workshops, he envisioned a weapon that reflected his own philosophy: that death should be precise, personal, and unavoidable. Each design iteration was shaped by his cruelty and patience, refined through countless failures until the blade itself seemed to hunger for its mark. To Vexorion, the stars were not merely tools; they were a quiet executioner, meant to punish even those who believed distance or chaos could save them.

Its final form emerged through methods as grim as the mind that forged it, tested on unwilling subjects and measured by how swiftly hope left their eyes. Vexorion delighted in crafting a weapon that could choose when to be subtle and when to be catastrophic, mirroring his own dual nature as observer and predator. The throwing stars became an extension of his will: small, unassuming, and terrifyingly final. In its spin and strike, one could glimpse the dark satisfaction of its creator, a testament to suffering transmuted into lethal perfection.
