Welcome to Gaia! ::

Desiring out loud, directly to the person who will be responsible for approval or denial, still counts as whining.


In which case there would be a release to make that work. Where is it?



I'd say probably up to wood. It definitely wouldn't work on stone or metal. Likely... Anything you can physically bury the kunai into, the prongs can pierce.

Please post updated versions

It is about the same sharpness as a razor blade. It can cut up to wood, although it only gently carves into wood at most an inch into the wood. It'll cut a normal person down to the bone, but it won't do more than scratch the bone itself.


At this stage, it only changes his voice so that no one can recognize his by his voice. ( I'll edit that in, I was going to wait until the next model to add it, but I forgot I mentioned the respirator in this one. )


I'll do that now.


It merely cuts physical damage down to mere bruising, and elemental damage down a small amount.


It absorbs an amount of force up to D rank.


It can defend against B rank taijutsu if it hits the armor itself, and B ranked weapon techniques. Laxus will still take a D ranked amount of force damage, but no bones will be broken. ( Basically it reduces Taijutsu and weapon damage by 2 ranks, and negates any fracturing or slashing damage he would take, so long as it hits the actual armor and not the mesh suit beneath it. )


Yeah, I could definitely edit that in. It was a C rank before, but it needed to be nerfed slightly, so I lowered it to D rank since it wasn't as powerful as before.


It would block the force up to C rank amount ( It is iron after all. ) But yes, the shock would effectively gain a rank in power.


Now does the armor remain weightless for up to 2 posts before the 2 points per post kicks in if I take that as part of it? ( Sorry for answering your question with another question. sweatdrop )


It doesn't cost anything... Laxus is making it himself. Later models will have costs for the items that he needs, but this one is made of common stuff he'd be able to obtain fairly easily.


Side note: Sorry if this shows up as like ten quotes from me... >.<

Technology Name:
009 Prototype
Technology Power Rank:
D
Description:
This is a metal helm, chest piece, gauntlets, and boots. Each piece is mainly red, although decals are in yellow. A skin tight suit is worn beneath this set, and regulates temperature all over the body preventing sweating and degradation of the armor. All portions of the armor provide a 2 rank defense against physical attacks, but only a 1 rank defense against elemental attacks. This reduces most physical attacks to simple bruising, and a few elemental attacks to a lesser amount of pain. Electrical attacks, while the force of them is negated, the shock delivered is increased by 1 rank, making raiton techniques much more effective against him.

The Helm is largely red with two kunai like projections where the ears are located. Where the rings of the kunai would be, are two grates that cover the ears. On the forehead of the helm is a saw blade, that is sharper than any that one would commonly find. There is also a piece of metal with a respirator that covers Laxus's mouth. This respirator makes Laxus' voice modified to sound much different. It deepens and gives subtle undertones to the input, allowing for a slightly robotic, but largely human voice ( Think of Sonny off of I robot, but more manly. ). Leading from the nape of the neck, where the helm ends, is a yellow rubber hose. It leads to the back of the chest piece. The head piece weighs five pounds.

The chest piece is in three pieces, one for either shoulder, and one for the majority of the torso. This is primarily red as well, except for the underside of the shoulders. The underside of the shoulders appear more as dark blue- black. There is also a piece of under armor underneath the red chest piece, just before it leaves the larger chest. This allows for the simple storage of several units ( Up to 2 units ) of Satetsu without the sand grinding against your chest. On the back of the chest piece, is a small cloth figure. It has five points, two on either side of a larger one that is long enough to drag the floor. The edges of this cloth are made of iron fiber, and as such are capable of being hardened into a blade. This blade is capable of cutting an inch into wood, however contact with anything as hard as bone results in only a small scratch. Chest piece weighs 30 pounds. and the shoulders each weigh 10 pounds totaling up to fifty pounds.

The Gauntlets are more along the lines of arm protectors. They cover the forearm from damage. These are red as well. inside of the arm protectors is an iron fiber sleeve that is drawn up and attaches to the shoulder pieces. While this won't protect against most attacks, it can defend up to a D rank amount of damage from a weapon, or a fire attack. The hands are covered by a similar fabric, although this is much weaker. The base of the gloves are linked directly into the arm protector, making it impossible to remove once it is placed without removing the arm protector. The arm protectors weigh 5 pounds each, totaling 10 pounds.

The Boots are nothing special aside from knee high boots made of metal with a pivot point for the ankle to lean Laxus forward or backward. Unlike the rest of the armor, the boots are Yellow with red trim around the soles, and the ankles. The boots weigh 10 pounds each for a total of 20 pounds.
Weakness:
Lightning Rod - The metal that the armor is made of is an excellent conductor, and makes it so that lightning jutsu are drawn to the armor within a foot from Laxus. This makes it decisively harder to dodge any raiton techniques.

Heated Combat - The metal is a largely conductive metal, making it so that prolonged exposure ( 3 posts around a D rank amount of fire, or being hit with a B rank Katon attack ) Heats the affected piece of armor to scalding proportions. It does however cool down quickly ( 3 posts of being away from the fire. )

Weighty - Without expending 5 points of chakra to gain weightlessness, and then 2 points per post after the initial 2 are used, the armor makes Laxus' effective speed one rank slower in terms of mobility, however countering with upper limbs is unhindered.

Costly - The cost of the materials to make the suit is 2000 gold. The process to make it requires 2 posts sizing Laxus' body, 5 forming the pieces, 2 priming and painting, and 3 creating the underlying heat distributing suit.
Picture:

Ah, I intended it as a personal, or I wouldn't have included the user information. I don't really mind if you want to make it village tech though.

Edit: 10:41 PM 9/7/12: Added a second paragraph to Casing.

Username: Hinote Tosatsu
RPC Name: Nomya Yasashii/Zdura
Rank: A

Technology Name: Metal Casing
Technology Power Rank: E
Price: 50
Description: An unusual design planned by Yasashii long before the fall of Otogakure, for the use of Oto ninja along with his own sealing techniques. The casing is a simple metal ball, a sphere of about six inches. The ball is hollow, with very thin outer walls. The sphere itself is made up not of a solid metal piece, but many smaller interlocking pieces, designed to hold up to a fair level of force from outside, but to shatter if met with any force at all from within.

A small section of the casing, just slightly larger than a man's thumb, is possible to be pressed inwards, removing it from the shell and exposing other sections to be removed, so that the casing can be taken apart and reassembled like a puzzle. This point is known only to the designer and builder of the casing, and due to the number of similar points, is almost indistinguishable to those who were not previously aware.

v Kumo Tech v

Technology Name: Kunai Launcher
Technology Power Rank: D
Price: 100
Description: Based on a modified version of the crossbows used by civilian soldiers, the Kumo weapon development teams built a kunai launcher that could fire the common shinobi weapon faster, farther, more accurately, and with more power, than the ninja could throw it himself. A crossbow is designed to do much the same with a crossbow bolt, as compared to a bow and arrow. With a tighter string or wire than could normally be pulled by hand, the basic crossbow has alternative systems built in for pulling the string. Anything from a pull handle, to a crank and winch.

Designed for shinobi use, the kunai launcher has a much tighter pull strength than even the strongest civilian crossbow. Along the shaft are seven slots, each corresponding to a ninja's strength, by the common ranking system. The lowest setting fires a kunai at E ranked strength and speed, while the highest fires at S rank. Using the pull handle, a shinobi simply draws the bar back to the proper slot, sets it in place, and upon pulling the trigger, the kunai flies out at the set strength. The mechanism is designed such that a ninja can pull to the slot that fires exactly one rank above their own strength, and no further, meaning a genin with D ranked strength can fire at C ranked power, and a jounin with A, can fire at nearly S ranked power.

As the launcher is meant for shinobi use, it is designed such that the bow arms can fold in onto the stock for easy storage or concealment. The stock itself is just over a foot long, with the handle and trigger just below the bow, allowing for the stock to be braced against the user's elbow, or the whole bow to be hidden in a large sleeve, without interfering too much with arm motion.

Weakness: The most obvious weakness of the launcher is the ninja wire that makes up the cable for the firing mechanism. While very strong, allowing for the power of the bow, it can easily be cut with a well placed blade, disabling the launcher entirely until it can be repaired, which can only be done by a blacksmith in Kumogakure itself.

NPCs having customs is actually a common practice. It is commonly done to increase the uniqueness of a given NPC or to give them special abilities to make them more useful in their role, or more interesting for those around them. Essentially the same reason they are allowed profiles, should the owner wish, custom weapons, and talents. Anything an RPC can have, a sufficiently fleshed out NPC is also allowed.

Edits to the launcher have been made. (Keep in mind that the price field is only suggestions. You still set the price.)

Each kunai must be individually loaded, and the drawbar pulled before firing is possible, meaning that loading the weapon takes up all post actions. Movement is still possible, but attacking or casting jutsu is not.

I didn't intend on having an actual limit on number, though you can bet I'd limit the number that were out there available. And no, it's definitely not reusable in that instance.

Thanks to the size, they would be very awkward to carry. Even one likely wouldn't fit in a basic pouch, so you'd have to either use a backpack or seals to carry them around.
