User blog:Rezuko/OC Weapon choice....

Erm....Hi....*nervous laugh*

I'm new here but I could use some help, see i've been working on my oc for a while now and have created two possible weapons for him....problem is I can't decide which I like more/ which would fit better, if you could help me out i'd be extremely grateful....i'll put his backstory underneath this passage to help (if it helps at all.)

Thank you for your help, also if you have any ideas to help balance the weapons (or anyother ideas for each weapon period) it would be greatly appreciated.

History:

Shiro was born in a small Faunus village, he lived a peaceful life with his two parents until they choose to move to the city when he was 10 there his parents joined the White Fang (when it was still peaceful) after facing the descrimination against them, often going to rallies while Shiro was in school, it was school that Shiro learned about Hunters and Huntresses through his History classes and decided he wanted to be a Hunter, he dropped of normal school at the age of 14 and joined Signal to become a Hunter with his parents blessing. During his second year into schooling at signal his life fell apart, while he was at signal his parents were murdered by an anti-Faunus group during peaceful protest, now an orphan at 16 he took to playing the violin something his father had taught him and doing odd jobs to make money to pay food costs and his monthly fee to keep his house that his parents left to him should anything ever happen all the while attending beacon. He barely scrapped by on his own, his grades falling to the wayside due to his inability to juggle everything at once he was forced to drop out of Signal and work to support himself, it's during this time he fell into a depression and turned to less then legal substances to help cope with his parents death and the struggle of day to day life. He went into debt with a local gang who supplied his habit, having no one else to turn to he used turned to the White Fang for help, knowing that his parents were part of said group, they accepted him but not before he was forced to undergo a trial of sorts in which he was to wipe out a group of anti-Faunus gang members. This in turn drove him slightly mad as he had to kill them in cold blood listening to them be for mercy and knowing that their blood was covering his hands, he continued to work with them for the next year unable to pry himself away from their clutches, doing all sorts of jobs, from murder to robberies. His addiction to the illegal substances continued, finally one day he decided to leave, killing his partner (a rather large man by the name of Alexander) durning a mission he fled off into the night, trying to atone for his sins he applied to beacon using the fake name Shiro Koza he was accepted and has since vowed to make things right by becoming a protector of those of whom he once terrorized.

Weapon #1:

Weapon Name: Tsuki and Taiyo (Moon and Sun in Japanese)

Weapon Class: High Caliber Katana Gun-Blades (HCKG)

Style of Sword: Straight Tanto style Long-Katana

Gun Type: 6 shot Long barreled Revolver

Description: Tsuki and Taiyo are 2 specialized Revolver Katanas, which both have 2 modes. The blade edge on Tsuki is black while the back edge is white. The blade edge and back edge on Taiyo is reversed with the blade edge being white and the back edge is black.

Sword mode: Tsuki and Taiyo are dual Tanto katanas that are 30 inches long each (there is no curve to the blade like regular katanas would have), their blade edges are cut in the style of a Tanto blade, the handle of the swords have a white and black (respectively) revolver style chamber that has a black and white decorative etching on the revolver (again, respectively), where the guard would be and the barrel of the gun extends on the back of the blade, the handle of the swords are slightly slanted to fit the hand and keep the weapon comfortable for firing when it is in its gun mode.

Gun Mode: The guns are break action Revolvers whose barrels are approximately 10 in. long, they use Dust FMJ ammo (its incendiary dust). The handle or the sword houses the firing mechanism of the gun and has a trigger guard to make sure the weapon doesn't accidentally fire, attached to the trigger guard is a longer version of a ring guard formed to fit the rest of the fingers, the 4 finger guard can be racked (like on a lever action rifle) to collapse the blade into itself then into the a protector that is attached to the underside of the revolvers barrel switching the weapon from sword mode to gun mode.

To break open the revolver, Shiro pushes down a lever near the trigger and flicks the weapon down using the force to open the revolver.

Notes: -Swords absorbs a small amount of his aura as he uses it, causing fatigue over time. -Reload time on the guns are slow but can be improved by the use of quick loaders, but even with these it's still fairly slow. -The swords are made of a lightweight but strong metal making it easier to use and doesn't cause as much fatigue on the user. -The gun can still be fired in sword mode.

Weapon #2:

Weapon Name: Inari's Lullaby

Weapon: Multipurpose Combat Violin and Bow (MCVB)

Style of Sword: Straight bladed Wakizashi

Gun Type: 12 gauge magazine fed combat shotgun

Description: Inari's Lullaby is a custom combat violin made of a black metal alloy and is engraved with golden etching, on the lower bout on the right side is an etched golden skull with fangs and fox ears, when not in combat mode the golden ethcing it's regular shiny color, when in combat mode the gold etching glows a golden neon color.

Inari's lullaby can cast spells through songs Shiro plays by using and minapulating the aura Shiro sends through the violins strings to a dust container near the chin rest of the violin, which then is used to cast spells.

Gun Mode: Inari's Lullaby can turn into a 12 gauge magazine fed combat shotgun by hitting a button near the tuning pegs. When transformed it looks like an old style combat/riot shotgun with a short barrel that's been painted black with golden etching, the only difference is instead of the drum fed magazine it has a regular magazine.

Sword Mode: The extendable violin bow for Inari's Lullaby turns into a straight bladed wakizashi by hitting a small button on the handle of the bow.

Notes: -Some magical attacks are not very useful against single enemies, they better used in battles with a large amount of enemies. -Strings on violin can break rendering the magical abilities useless -The longer he uses the violin in its magical mode the more his aura drains. -Due to being Magazine fed it has a chance to jam in gun form. -Sword form of the violins bow is made of a lightweight metal -Strings are coated with dust to make them harder to break. -Shotgun component is hidden inside the body of the violin. (Doesn't affect the violins ability to play when outside of combat) -Shiro carries Inari's Lullaby around in a light weight but durable case that is shaped like a coffin. (The coffin case has a quick release that allows Shiro to have his violin and bow at a moments notice, also if the quick release is used it automatically switches the violin to Combat mode) This case is usually carried over his right shoulder like a broadsword. -Case is able to be dropped or thrown without damage to the weapon inside.
