Kosher Ginshin



Kosher Ginshin is Ayane's weapon of choice. It is a Multi Dust Bow-Blade (MDBB) - a hybrid between a bow and two arm blades.

Description
Kosher Ginshin takes the form of two large blades that are silver in color with the edges of the blades taking on a darker black tone. When in 'arm-blade' and held the blade extends past the arms by quite a bit allowing for far reach when in combat. In the event that Ayane isn't able to use her preferred 'arm-blade' mode she resorts to the 'sword' mode of Kosher Ginshin where the parts she holds in 'arm-blade' mode become the hilts of the sword. The 'bow' mode of Kosher Ginshin is activated when both blades are attached together and a compartment pops out. This compartment creates a dust string that allows for the use of various dust arrows. In order to use it more effectively Ayane wears a special glove that holds the various dusts she uses removing the need for a quiver. The glove has an interface that interacts with the dust string allowing for the construction and stabilization of dust arrows.

When not in use it is placed on the back in 'safe' mode; in which the blades are folded backwards for easier and safer travel.

Construction
Kosher Ginshin uses a hydraulic system in the handle section that allows the handle to be moved easier from 'arm-blade' and 'sword' mode easier but it is mainly used to make piercing attacks using the tip of the blade.

Kosher Ginshin is made up of highly advanced technological piece of equipment with it's collapable frame allowing for several modes to be available.
 * Arm-Blade: The preferred mode in which the user holds the blades like one would a tonfa. Hyrdraulic system situated in the handle allows the blade to surge forward for fast (and often unexpected) piercing attacks.
 * Sword: The secondary melee form. Loses access to the hydraulic system when in this form but allows the user more maneuverability with their hands.
 * Bow: The ranged form of Kosher Ginshin. Uses arrows made solely of dust for varying effects and uses. The type of dusts that can be used are only limited by what the user is able to obtain his/herself. The ones listed below are the dusts that Ayane most frequently uses:
 * White - The standard dust arrow that Ayane uses. Has no special effects.
 *  Green  - These arrows are used for sniping and have the furthest range out of all the dust arrows that Ayane uses but no other special effects.
 *  Orange  - These arrows explode on contact. Depending on the concentration of dust the explosion will be greater.
 *  Light Blue  - This arrow will freeze whatever it makes contact with. Like the orange arrow the amount of dust concentration when used will determine how much ice is formed.
 *  Violet  - This arrow has the highest piercing power out of all the arrows but requires the user to 'charge' it for a set amount of time in order to fired.

Trivia

 * The literal translation of Kosher Ginshin is "Genuine Silver Needle". Kosher in English means "Genuine" when used in an informal way. Ginshin is deprived from the japanese words for silver (銀) and needle (針).
 * The edges of the blade are actually not that sharp and are mostly used for guarding purposes. The true danger of it lies in it's high speed piercing potential when the hydraulics system is used.
