- Size Very Small
- Weight: Very Light

- Energy (And other Blaster type weapons): Average
- Kinetic: High

- Tips can be customized to display any color or design.
- While retracted, Tips look indistinguishable from natural nails.
- Tips can change length between 1.0 cm – 7.6 cm (0.4”- 3.0”).
- Tips can alter between blunt and deadly sharp, with the ability to easy pierce most types of skin and certain types of light armor.
- Songsteel and duraplast components allow for good protection against kinetic damage and decent protection against lightsabers.
- Tips do not have a particularly strong resistance to EMP/Ion weaponry. If exposed, Tips will temporarily shut down for as long as the EMP/Ion influence is sustained, and reboot after. During this time, the color, design and length of Tips cannot be changed.
- Though the cuticle is reinforced while Tips are being implanted, they can potentially be ripped out by a particularly strong force. And. That. Hurts.
The Tips Cuticle Implant was designed to be a convenient, covert weapon. Comprised of tough metals and cybernetic components, Tips can appear as typical humanoid nails, and in some cases can be altered to appear similar to non-humanoid nails. Tips can also be programmed with a variety of colors and designs, some of which are preloaded, though many can be downloaded over the holonet.
Aside from the design, the most poignant feature of this implant is that the length of the nail can be changed at will, ranging from the typical nail length of 1.0 cm to 7.6 cm (0.4”-3.0”). Created with a mix of duraplast and songsteel, Tips are durable and made for combat, and can easily puncture most types of skin and certain light armors and other less-moderately sturdy materials. Given their composition, Tips have good resistance to kinetic damage should they be used for dueling, and can also be used to block lightsaber and energy weapon strikes. However, prolonged contact with lightsabers and energy weapons may warp the shape of Tips, making them impossible, or very painful to retract.
Tips have a relatively low resistance to EMP/ION weaponry and will stall out when in contact with this type of energy. This means that the shape, length and color of Tips cannot be changed while they are powered down, but will retain whatever state they were in prior to coming into contact with EMP/ION weaponry. For example, if Tips were extended to their maximum length before being hit with an electro pulse, they will remain extended until the pulse is over and Tips has rebooted.
Tips were designed to be utilized by anyone in the galaxy, from your average Jedi, to politicians and leaders, to intelligence agents, spies, criminals, and anyone who like the idea of carrying a set of covert knives at the fingertips.
