   Description:
   The "Right Hand of the Renegade". A befitting name for a weapon like this. It is evident that the gun is not only a work of expert craftsmanship, it also looks like a small piece of art in and of itself, deceptively beautiful adornments decorating it. It could almost lead one to believe that this weapon was created with good intentions in mind, though the thing's aura tells quite a different tale. It feels like the gun itself harbors ill intent towards anyone but the one it has acknowledged as its wielder and radiates something that feels like bloodlust. The steel of the weapon, no matter how hot its environment, will always be cold to the touch. The revolver doesn't need ammunition to be shot as it will manifest powerful shots of charcoal-black, dark energy when fired. What exactly it is that turned this gun into something so hungry for conflict and thirsty for blood is unclear, though there is a story that comes with it.

   Allegedly, the gun belonged to a famous mercenary, who, along with his brother, had sworn to fight only for the good in the world, travelling Earthland to combat evil wherever it popped up. They did this for a number of years and seemed to have garnered quite a reputation for themselves, as well. One of the two was a master swordsman, and the other is rumored to have never missed a shot. Eventually, though, one of the brothers was befallen by corruption, as it so often tends to be the case, plotting his sibling's downfall and, one fateful night, taking his brother's weapon from him in his sleep and shooting him. With his brother dead, though, killed with his own weapon, the man did not feel fulfilled or relieved, instead only harboring immense guilt and regret for his actions, and, after falling into deep despair, in the end turning the weapon on himself. Maybe all of these emotions were absorbed by the cold steel of the gun, or maybe it always had a will of its own and is tainted with rage? Who knows, those are just stories, after all.


   


   Abilities:

   Name: Bloodlust Blast
   Rank: User Rank (Up to S)
   Category: Offensive
   Type: Single Target - Buff, Piercing
   Damage: User Rank Single Target Damage
   Range: User Rank Single Target Range
   Speed: User Rank Single Target Speed
   Duration: User Rank Max
   Downside: N/a
   Description: The gun fires up the user's bloodlust, increasing their spell damage by a user rank active buff for the duration of this ability as soon as it is activated. Once per post for the ability's duration the user can amass an incredible amount of killing intent and dark energy within the weapon, which seems to pour forth directly from within the user, and point it at a single enemy within the ability's range. Upon pressing down the trigger, the revolver will release a projectile of all-corroding darkness, infused with the user's emotions and bloodlust. This shot can pierce through shield spells, barriers, and armor, though as opposed to regular piercing effects, sacrifices no damage in the process. Further, this projectile also bypasses all damage reductions and damage suffered from it is unaffected by such.

   Name: Vampiric Shot
   Rank: User Rank Advanced (Up to A+)
   Category: Offensive
   Type: Multi Target - Buff, HP Drain, MP Drain
   Damage: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Damage
   Range: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Range
   Speed: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Speed + 50%
   Duration: User Rank Advanced Max
   Downside: The user must sacrifice 10% of their max HP in order to activate this ability. The ability's speed is increased by 50%
   Description: The weapon draws blood from the user's body, the color of its metal changing to a sanguine red for the duration of the ability, driving the user's bloodlust up to its absolute max. For the duration of the ability, the user can freely fire blasts of red energy at opponents within the ability's range at the ability's speed, dealing damage upon impact. A numer of projectiles equal to the maximum duration of this ability may be fired in any given post this ability is active. Opponents hit with this energy are infected with a magical curse that drains them of their life force, once per post for the ability's duration draining 5% of their max MP and 5% of their max HP. This, however, is not the full extend of the weapon's evil abilities. Every successful hit exponentially increases the weapon's and the user's lust for blood, buffing the base spell damage of this ability by 25% every time the user hits and damages another being with the red projectiles (capping at 100% additional damage max).
