Ruby Rose

Every Rose Has its Thorns
Image: See Profile pic(picture wont load right for some reason)
Image Source: Hellmaster6492 on Deviantart
Intent: Primary weapon/protective shield as a jedi, crafted
Development Thread: Beskar RP
Manufacturer: Ruby Rose
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Ruby Rose
Modularity: The Haft of the Axe Is detachable when in shield mode and when worn on her arm, the haft worn like a staff, upon her back, held in place by either a sling or a magnetized point on her armor if she is wearing it. If she needs to switch modes the staff fits into a hole at the base of the shield. It goes in eight inches before twisting and pulling back and a mechanism inside magnetically locks into place. This process takes approximately ten to fifteen seconds depending on how quickly she can get the haft into the slot, potentially a little longer if under extreme stress or in battle situations. Once locked in, the staff is sealed in place and unmoving.
Production: Production: Unique (Crafted by herself, is a mechanic by backstory with an energetic want to tinker and build new items.
Material: It has multiple saber crystals in the axe head. Each crystal is self contained in small cylindrical chambers inside the axe head to prevent the crystals from becoming dislodged. Inside each of them is the workings and holdings for a small saber blade, set to form a short but highly focused blade. They are angled in slightly decreasing angles, covering the area of effect and forming the illusion of one solid curved blade. She designed the weapon while on downtime on Hoth while in the small base left deserted by the passing of Nave Ordo(bounty hunter from backstory). When not in use, the sabers deactivate and it collapses into a shield worn on her left arm or back. There is a small indent in the head on the internal side for her forearm which three leather enarmes go across, tightening the shield in place when it is on her arm. They are vulnerable to being cut but are relatively out of the way of hits on the inside of the head. The shield and haft of the weapon are of Beskar to be blaster and saber resistant.
Classification: Axe/shield
Size: Two, One with saber flurry
Length: 1.75 m long in axe form, shield/axe head is .6M in diameter (smaller shield, unsure if thats an approximation, not too good with metric transitions)
Weight: 25 Kg
Special Features: It is resistent to blasters and sabers due to the Beskar it is made up of.
Description: This weapon was designed by Ruby during her downtime between missions on Hoth. She is a tinkerer and experimental mechanic by nature and tried various designs out. She is of a smaller profile and was thinking of a way to make up for her lack of strength and she came up with a weapon that would keep her momentum going. She utilizes the oversized weapon by combining saber flurry plus momentum to perform high impact hits against enemies and objects. It has multiple saber crystals in the blade, making a short, but highly focused blade made up of multiple short saber blades, forming the illusion of one solid curved blade.

Strengths:
  • Is Saber resistant due to the Beskar composition and can be used as a shield to protect her
  • Can deliver strong, high impact hits that are hard to defend against and can go through hardened targets
  • multiple small sabers can sometimes overwhelm the durability of cortosis, breaking through as the second or third saber shorts out
  • When the shield and haft are separate they can be used an almost purely defensive stance, the shield in one hand, the staff in the other
Weaknesses:
  • It takes between ten and fifteen seconds to combine the two portions into the axe form of the weapon. In the middle of a fight this may not even be possible depending on the aggressiveness of her opponent.
  • Is large heavy, and unwieldy, if her momentum is slowed, her effectiveness is hampered by a lot
  • Longer haft, while useful for keeping momentum up to deliver harder impacts, is a large open spot that can be attacked through
  • low defense capability when extended: while the shield form is useful to protect her, while extended it is very hard to defend herself, mainly relying on her speed and aggressive attack to keep the opponent on the defensive.
  • The shields Enarmes are vulnerable to sabes and if cut or destroyed in some other way it will not be able to be used in the shield mode.
  • Tiring to wield for extended periods of time, due to larger weight, best if only used to quickly end bouts or to break through hardened defenses.

Hello, [member="Ruby Rose"]. I'll be your judge today. :)

This a pretty neat idea, and certainly unique, but it will require some work to be approved.

(The main way people work for their toys, though most submissions don't require a development thread. Restricted items require specific development threads. Substantial development threads can help judges approve more powerful submissions. If in doubt, put 'If necessary,' and a judge may or may not ask you for one. Threads cited here must be at least 10 quality posts.)
  • Just replace this with the cortosis dev thread link once you've completed it. This submission cannot be approved without the dev thread if you're intent on keeping the cortosis.
  • You can find the requirement here.

    Cortosis(( Objective : Perform a mining operation, a raid, an excavation, or steal to obtain cortosis ore from any of the following planets: Apatros, Obredaan, Katanos VII, Duro, Bal’demnic, Mnencheiasus, Gallos or Bespin –OR—suffer a devastating defeat at the hands of a Force User Character written by another writer. ))

  • For a unique, personal weapon, the affiliation would be to your character.

The Haft of the Axe Is collapsible and folds along the arm under the axehead, forming a sheild against blasters and is saber resistant. It is relatively quick to extend to weapon mode from shield but takes a couple seconds
  • A collapsible haft would have to be made of multiple short metal tubes of some sort, from which follows that they would be:
    1. Hollow
    2. Weaker
    3. Easily broken / bent
  • If it's a shield, it needs some sort of handhold on the side of the axe (usually enarmes). That would have to be lightsaber resistant too, or it would be cut apart very quickly during battle.

  • The lightsaber crystals cannot be in the blade. You probably meant the axe head, which again presents a number of problems. Being extended and unprotected (unlike the hilt of a lightsaber), any solid hits to the axe head would threaten to dislodge, disrupt, or otherwise damage the function of these 'mini-lightsabers', which could lead to potentially volatile reactions.

All in all, I like the idea, but it requires a solid explanation / outline to really convey how it works. Right now, it has a number of issues that need to be sorted out for this to work, but work it certainly can.

Tag me with edits / questions / explanations. :)

Ruby Rose said:
Takes a couple seconds to go from shield mode to axe mode, connecting the haft to the shield takes a couple seconds.
  • Given the way the haft is attached/detached to the axe head/shield, it would take more than just a couple of seconds to do so. Please bump this up a little.

  1. Tag me in a reply next time, please. I'll edit the tag out of the submission, as it's supposed to be free of anything but information pertaining the item.
  2. In order to have this approved with cortosis, you must complete a development thread with the appropriate objective. When such has been completed, tag me here and add the link to the thread into the submission under the Development thread bracket.

I've amended the portion about the timing of the combination and went into more detail on it, as per the cortosis, I am currently working on that and will post the link to the thread as it it completed.

Please add the above linked thread into the submission itself under Development thread, and edit out the cortosis and its effects. Replace them with beskar in all the appropriate fields (i.e. Special features, Material, Strengths).

As for the weapon; Beskar is at least twice the weight of durasteel, if not more.
Therefore you'll have to increase the weight of your axe to 20kg +.

In light of that, please note that the massive weight will be extremely tiring to wield, Force or no Force.
