Hey, look, I'm not sure if I'm really doin g this entirely right because I'm new to this wiki specifically, but not the show. I've been into it for a while now, and I'm absolutely loving it and I love the weapon ideas of the show, dust, magic, and semblance, the animation, anime style, so I can say it's a pretty good show personally.

Anyway, I'm trying to be as creative and imaginative as I can, but I come to find that it's harder than I thought when coming up with ideas and designs for RWBY weapons especially since some of the weapons themselves on the show is not entirely weapons at all such as Oobleck's thermos, an umbrella, high heel boots (although somewhat common), camera, hoverboards, cattle prods, ect. So I guess I just need help with knowing what can actually be a weapon and the styles/designs that can be used to make it a good weapon. Can anything be made into a modified weapon like art brushes, puppets, a shield, or hell! Maybe even puppet strings, or is there a limit to how far you can go with making your own personal weapons.

Some speedy help, reply and constructive criticism will really help. Thanks.

So far, these are the weapons I made myself: 1.) Lust: A modified crossbow that shoots powerful shots of arrows at the target.
 * Pandora's Box : A carrying box that could be carried by it's handles, or lugged around on one's back like a back pack containing a different variety of weapons, or the different parts of the box can form into weapons. The box it self can be swung and bashed at an opponent as a blunt and dangerous weapon.

2.) Gluttony: A bronze circler shield that can protect the user against projectiles and certain magical blast such as from dust and semblance that the shield can absorb into it self and power a few other weapons for later use, or power up the shield itself. When the Gluttony Shield it filled with enough absorbed power from magic blast, it can be thrown at a target for a brutal attack then safely returns to the user.

3.) Sloth: Two Blunderbuss pistols that shoots paralyzing blast of power that would either slow down a target's movement, or temporarily paralyze them completely while they are still able to feel everything happening to them even pain.

4.) Envy: A pair of gauntlet claws that the user have to get up close and personal with to use to it's affect. The weapon consist of two gauntlets with razor sharp metal claws on the finger tips that when slashed on a opponent, takes a portion of energy needed to use their semblance, or when clashed against a weapon, a certain portion of the dust energy is taken, and they can use it for themselves.

5.) Wraith: Wraith consist of a rocket and bomb launcher that fires explosive rounds of different elemental attacks with the explosive usually being high and destructive.

6.) Pride: A powerful golden sword that can charge up with fire and electric dust. The appearance of the weapon is similar to that of Sharry's Stun Rod (Stun rod), but with a more bright silver, metallic color to it. The weapon can be used as a melee weapon with an electric charged impact hit, and can be adjusted into a ranged shooting weapon capable of shooting electric blast at the target with the power of a modified desert eagle than can also be turned into a electric blade. A scimitar combined with a semi-automatic sniper rifle. Tell me what you think and if they are good. Thanks again, and constructive criticism will be most helpful.
