Cool topper bro.

Until further notice, all Black Blood weapons (not counting Fen's new ability, which is instead of a weapon and because she's just the right kind of weird) are only weapons, and have no special abilities. Victin's spear, in particular, actually just sounds kinda redundant to me, since Sakura can already throw thunderbolts at people anyway.

Lemme see: Sakura got a spear; Asura got Black Blood Knuckles (presumably with spikes); Bartz got a new sword (which is quite probably better resistant to breaking than steel, so I wouldn't throw it away); Fen got the Bloody Needle ability (which maybe should be nerfed to only work when she's cut; she can cut herself, of course, if she doesn't mind looking emo); MM and Lan got a sword and mace, respectively; Tex got ninja knives, which is pretty legit; Kite got dual swords. I miss anybody?

EDIT: And Shadow Man gets a new knife.

Actually, y'know the metal that encases Asura's arms? Yeah, the gauntlets cover all of that, not just his knuckles. Unless you decide to deem otherwise.

EDIT: Ninja'd. I'm okay with that smile I can already use my powers to shoot lightning anyways, I actually was planning onto losing the spear so other people can use it. That way the spear would keep changing its owner. But I'm glad I got something either way grin

Oh, okay. Well, powers or no, I'm glad I got a dagger for stabbin'... which kunais can do as well, but those are single-use items in my book.

@Random: Don't see the point in that, really. :/ More spikes? Nah, how about just the gloves, hmm? Closer to weapons than full sleeves.

EDIT: And Roxas gets new keyblades, I guess... Actually, how about he dips the keyblades he already has in, and they come out with spikes? They'd keep the teleporting thing, and they'd actually be, like, pointy.

All right. Do the gloves appear on his extra arms when he goes Six-Armed, or just his default two? I just wanna get all this out of the way to avoid complications later.

Actually, it's daggers not swords. .hack just calls them blades.

@Random: Just the two, I think.

Oooh! How about all Black Blood weapons have "Doesn't have spikes on by default, but its owner can will it to suddenly grow spikes out of its business end"? Shadow Man/Tex stabs a dude with the knife, right? Then, Bloody Needle into the wound! Same with the other ones; they can also have their weapons sprout needles everywhere if the weapon's dropped, to keep people from stealing it or punish them if they do! People with normally blunt weapons can also use it for intimidation (and in Asura's case, reference Wolverine).

Artemis. You have turned Asura into the most glorious thing ever. Dear GM, we thank you for this gift we have received.

-Tex practices with her Kunai. She notes that despite getting them seemingly randomly, they're of perfect weight and balance, which is rare for someone as... unique... as her-

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

@Artemis: That's an awesome idea! evil grin So that means, when I hit someone, the spikes grow? The big one and the smaller ones?

Except of course they're spikes, not claws. He can still try and claw people with the spikes, but it won't work so well.

-Asura is disappointed that his new gauntlets make cracking his knuckles a bit trickier. Other than that, he is pleased-

@Victin: When your avatar wills it so, the spikes come out. For the purpose of a surprise attack, this should be as you hit the opponent, or better yet as your opponent blocks it; for the purpose of intimidation, this should be in response to an overt threat.

-Megaman experimentally swings his new sword-arm around-

This thing feels like it's welding into me... I think I might be stuck with a permanent fixture.

-Lan is experimentally testing the weight on his new mace-

Well hey, at least now I don't have to rely on sword chips. And I got something cool to show off, too!

One caveat: If the owner of a Black Blood weapon dies, the weapon switches ownership to whoever killed them (and so on, if they're killed). That kind of explains itself, I think.

EDIT: [up][up]Right you are; sorry about that.

-Tests throwing a kunai against the wall. Goes to retrieve it, then takes a few steps back from the wall-

-Runs at the wall, jumping and digging both kunai into it, before pressing her feet against the wall and propelling herself off it into a backflip. As she flips, she tosses both kunai into the wall-

-Three point landing-

Also, the spikes should stay under two feet long. No spikevaulting; that would just be ridiculous.
