Description

this is a weapon i designed for rosiel, a character of katz579.


MECHANICAL EXPLANATION BELOW

it's current display is with the weapon, "open." closed it looks like a normal japanese longsword with the slight modifications. the two diagrams at the bottom right are a split view of the sword and an enlargement of the middle.

the outer crescents are a rail that the blade extends along. the dark inner ring is a spring fitting the inside of the halo of the crescents. the notch in the middle is an anchor near the rear of the lower blade. connected to it is a triple helix chain that runs threw the center of the sword and connects to the ring at it's rear. the chain can be drawn back by the ring to lock the blade back in place. the large ring is so both feet and near objects. the chain is also used for grappling, disarming, and as a distraction with the bright red feather. the darker blade is a stronger metal to support the guide rail well the the lower blade is a lighter metal to reduce the disruption in the swing releasing the blade causes.

the hand guard is pushed outward to trigger the release.it is not pulled inward to prevent the accidental release when guarding. this weapon is designed for feint style fighting and making a close call a killing blow.
