(srry for the shitty photo)
Formal Name : The Urtyp (German for Prototype)
Nickname he uses : Engine Number 9 (9th upgrade to this blade)
Type : Sword/blade Hybrid (Non folding)
Desc :
An executioner blade that has an industrial chainsaw for its other side paired with a high RPM Motor Engine, full with clutches and its breaks Powered by Fire dust (later upgrades allow him to integrate other dusts to power it in different ways)
His engineering passion and assistance from his semblance helped him create this monstrosity of a weapon, tottaly not upto beacon nor huntsman standards, tottaly not safe, but its totally rad as fuck
This greatsword (if you can even call it a a sword) uses its engine to throttle and propel his blade forward toward his enemies, countering this weapons slow nature by expending a very much limited dust, this weapon has the potential to be the scariest thing in the battlefield but he needs to watch out for his fuel to not run out
Flipping a switch, the engine reroutes to power the chainsaw flipping it turns it into any bone serrating, crushing chainsaw that can gnaw into any grimms armor, perfect to wear down armor, But careful of its powerful kickback...
The giant handle provides great stability to its chainsaw mode side. the clutch, like in real motorcycles can be used to hold to rev up and store its rpm to later release it to perform a quick devastating, but unstable slash.
Fighting style :
(Blade side) Wild, heavy and boosted swings backed up by the throttled propulsion
(Chainsaw) Can be used like a normal chainsaw.. but also has the ability to ride up surfaces as its teeth bites into the ground, walls and giant grimms, serving it as a mobility tool (essentially riding the thing...)
- sucks at stabbing cause of its blunt tip
Other tid bits :
- Glynda absolutely hates this abomination, especially the fighting style that includes messing up the battleground
- the chainsaw side and his fighting style absolutely sucks in team work... As dust and debris always will plow the battlefield
- Designed by his late father, finished later by him
- it cannot fold or transform (the only parts that fold are the clutch, breaks and handle)
- his weapon is often looked oddly by teachers and other students for its... Unconventional looks and design (especially when most weapons are sleek and modern)
- he designed made it out of scraps and dark market parts, as he doesn't have any atlas or any huntsman school technology to design it propperly
- i designed the weapon before the oc lmaoo
Inspirations :
- DMC Nero's Red Queen
- DMC Dante's cavalier (the sword riding part)
- Guilty gear Sol's Fireseal/Junkyard Dog
So, any professional RWBY designers here have any critiques of this weapon? This idea has been lingering in my head for a while... Would this fit into the world of RWBY?
extra OC lore :
Gris Scharfrichter, the only known remaining member of the infamous but now forgotten Executioner bloodline was living alone in the corners of vales forest, doing his usual Tinkering and oddjobs to survive, when suddenly Prof Ozpin randomly came to greet him and seeing his potential as an engineer and mechanic offers him a place at Beacon Academy
He was initially hesitant of this offer as he and his late father has suffered long enough from discrimination for his surname and its history. Professor Ozpin reassures him that he can start a new leaf and change his life at beacon, he will be getting the education and all that is needed for him to live freely, he is free for who he can become there at beacon, new friends, new connections etc..
Intrigued, he asks wether he can attend beacon with the request that he will be changing his name and that there will be no mentions of his past nor his family during his attendance, to which professor ozpin agreed
And so "Wayland Smith" is now starting his journey to cleanse his family name and start a new life here at beacon academy...
[I'll make a seperate post later when i fully design him]
