Name: Stormbinder
Rank: Strong
Type: Weapon, Gun (functions like your typical M4 carbine)
Description: By the time Xiao Jing had fled his dragon mother's forest, the next few years of his life would be largely influenced by eccentric inventor Demetrius and his lightning-powered airship. The red-head largely values his time spent with the old man up until his peaceful passing, ingraining the little moments in his head with as much commitment as he could manage. Due to the lack of any will left by the inventor, the airship would later be claimed by Demetri's direct family members, leaving Jing with nothing but a single memento forged under his master's discretion - an electric gun that was fabricated to appear as a traditional oil-paper umbrella. It was, in essence, Jing's first successful creation, which he hasn't stopped upgrading despite being a few years old. Rank: Strong
Type: Weapon, Gun (functions like your typical M4 carbine)
The umbrella's primary energy source is a small amount of electricity, and by feeding it a portion of his magic into the conductive padding that surrounds its handle, the weapon's mechanism is automatically put into action, releasing a steady stream of bullets from its tip (700-950 round/min cyclic, speed dependent on user's base rank speed) that deal 0.5 melee damage per projectile along with 0.5 lightning damage for every successful impact as long as the trigger is pressed. The 'bullets' are composed of small shots of lightning condensed into casings molded from raw ethernano, a by-product of the umbrella's interior system that extracts the lightning from its magical essence.
Strengths:
●Its initial design causes enemies to mistake it for an ordinary umbrella, which is often in his advantage should he decide to utilize its abilities in battle.
Weaknesses:
●Despite looking complete, its internal structure is still faulty and could be considered a prototype for its current level, where the umbrella is known to short-circuit if Jing feeds it too much electricity. Upon every occasion where the red-head gets too zealous in the heat of battle, there is always a chance for the weapon to stop functioning.
●It's just a gun, nothing fancy, so the bullets, regardless of being fired at a rapid speed, are nevertheless easy to dodge/block otherwise.
Abilities:
- Spoiler:
- ●DRIZZLE | Passive (D-rank for now): Because of the way the bullets are structured, a little bit of positive charge gathers up on an enemy with each successive bullet that manages to hit them. For every five bullets, a small amount of static stabilizes on a target's body, acting as a damage multiplier for the next round of bullets. This adds an extra 0.5x D-rank melee damage to each bullet. The ability will reset after a single post or if the user manages to shoot 15 bullets successfully, amounting to a possible extra 1.5x D-rank melee damage before setting off its 2 post cooldown.
●THUNDERSTORM | Active (C-rank for now): As of currently, the maximum amount of electricity that Stormbinder is able to absorb is equivalent to one C-rank spell. Should Jing feed this much into the weapon, the umbrella will simultaneously release an electrical sphere (about half a meter in diameter) that travels up to 30 m/s with a max range of 40 m/s. As soon as the sphere comes into contact with a solid surface, it'll cause an electrical explosion to occur, dealing C-rank lightning knockback damage collectively to all enemies present (damage is equally split if there are multiple enemies). Any airborne enemies of the same rank or lower will remain disoriented for one post. A 2 post CD will activate immediately after firing.
