Name: Multiple. The Chu’usshin Weapons.
Owner: Vegeshin/Kazura Kanahashi. (Albeit they can be stolen, the catch being that the specific owners of the weapons can recall them, unless a new bond is forged between theif and weapon)
Creator: The Thirteen Chu’usshin Defectors/Deities.
Development Thread: N/A
Type: Relic Weapons.
Use: Combat.
Rarity: Unique. (In that there are only fourteen, each unique in some fashion)
Strengths:
- Made of, as the Deities called it, Infinitum; the weapon’s durability cannot feasibly be conclusive. The current owner of Shissaiga, suggesting the material actually be Kadamatchin, has found the weapons ridiculously durable, having cleaved through various materials, armors, etcetera without so much as a scratch upon the blades surface.
-The weapons are subjected to reforming, altering, in regards to the one wielding it. Whilst imprisoned, the deities within still have mild influence upon the vessel. Therefore, the weapon shifts in regards to those holding it. But it only ever assumes one form per individual. The best fit for the individual wielding it. [Based upon rudimentary weapons. Not firearms. Ex. Daggers, Swords, Greatswords, Maces, Hammers, Axes, Katana, etc.]
-The weapons are capable of acting as mediums for various energies, and abilities, the wielder might have affinity to. Capable of transferring energy from the user, into the weapon, to create sweeping arcs of energy, or unleashing beam pulses from the blades type, if weapon is fashioned into a blade.
- Can be mentally summoned via the true, current, owner. They appear within hand at the slightest request, manifested from blackened miasma and ash.
Weaknesses:
- While exceptionally powerful weapons, they are subjected to the raw, natural, talents of those who use them. If one is terrible with the weapon is has taken form of, it will not be of much use to them.
- The Deities within still have mild influence, their essence essentially permeating the weapon. Those with weak constitutions can fall prey to the lulls and suggestions that may manifest via thought in the wielder. Oft times, dreadful suggestions such as homicide, or suicide.
- The weapons do imprint themselves on their current wielder, but can be stolen. If stolen, without the owner's knowledge, the current thief may be able to imprint on the weapon. The chances of imprinting upon the weapon are much higher if the thief is mentally weak.
- In even rarer cases, if an individual with incredibly weak mental constitution should happen upon one of the weapons, they may fall prey to pseudo-possession. Rather than suggestions or lulls, the imprisoned Deity may imprint their consciousness upon the individual, in question, and possess them in some fashion.
- While exceptionally durable, almost nigh-fracturable, it is within good reason to suspect that, whilst most conventional weapons may not damage them, it is yet unknown whether or not magicks of phenomenal scale may pose a risk to them. Same can be said of critically advanced technologies/weapons using quantum energies, or the like.
- They are but weapons fashioned to fit the individual holding them; they are not shields capable of deflecting any and all damage. (Unless specifically taking the shape of a type of shield/guard.)
-- In the case of Densetsussaiga, the above can be applied, but in different means. The Deity trapped within Densetsussaiga was a benevolent Deity. No suggestions of homicide, nor suicide, but instead suggestions of heroism instead. The likelihood of imprinting upon a thief, as well, is slim; unless the individual weak enough to imprint upon and, subsequently possess, for heroic, benevolent means.
- Finally. Each weapon, each vessel, houses Deities that seek to escape, by any means. Imprisoned, but not without means to escape; should any ever discover a means to free them, terrible consequences can befall if they are to be possessed by any of the weapons.
Description: These weapons have no specific descriptions, no real identifiable traits, considering they take the shape most suitable for those they bond to/imprint upon. That said, the only trait that can be noticed is the fact that, no matter the form, shape, or construct, they all appear to be an onyx shade, overall.
- History:
The Chu’ushin blades are a set of fourteen unique weapons forged in a ancient time of yore, each possessing heinous, and phenomenal, abilities. Each seemingly house the dormant essence of a fallen deity; acting both as a prison, as well as leaching the might of the deities themselves to strengthen the weapons.
Whilst a timeline cannot entirely be established for when this catastrophic event took place, it can be established that at some point in the vast history of the Omniverse, a chaotic war of influence took place. A sect of Deities parted from the collective, intent on overtaking and bringing about change over the realms. These thirteen deities therefore fractured and severed ties. Realizing that they, personally, could not assault their fellow kin with personal power; the grand operator and overseer putting such a failsafe in place for such an occasion, they sought other means to build strength.
Discovering they could use the influences and prayers of those who worshipped them in more than one manner, they began forging weapons of great power, and armor to withstand the inevitable blows they’d soon come to face. Whilst siphoning prayers and worship did cost them, personally in regards to might, it all seemed to balance out in regards to the weapons they forged, and subsequently the suits of glorious armor as well. In time, with weapons forged and armors fashioned, they ceased leaching from the pool or prayer and once again re-established their original might.
From then on the heavens in which these deities made their homes became a vast war-ground; many perishing in the wake of the mighty thirteen who wrought devastation.
Realizing that they could not rightly retaliate, and that all their methods seemed to fail, the myriad of deities suffering countless losses sought to forge a weapon of their own. And so, the collective members toiled and schemed, and yet realized that were they to do the utmost same as the thirteen, the weapons would be of equal power and seemingly stalemate when wielded against one another.
That is until a lone Deity offered up themselves as a means to forge the weapon. Their very essence, cast into a weapon of unfathomable might. They would give up their existence to forge a blade capable of felling them all in one swift blow.
And so, reluctantly, the collective agreed and the deity forfeit their existence to become the blade in question.
The tide of the war swiftly shifted upon the blades creation. And the thirteen fell one after the next. The war came to an abrupt conclusion. Countless deities had perished into nonexistence and the cosmos would never remain the same from then onward; and yet, mercifully so, the collective saw fit to spare the deities who’d tried to usurp the balance of everything. Wanting them to know the pain, and tragedy, of the great sacrifice the lone deity had submit themself to in a bid to bring an end to the war, they issued the punishment of the thirteen to be the exact same.
And thus the thirteen deities were forcefully imprisoned within their thirteen weapons, and their armors rend asunder into naught. Fated to remain imprisoned within the constructs for all of eternity, the weapons themselves were eventually scattered throughout the grand omni-cosmos.
In time, though, they eventually managed to coalesce onto a single planet, eventually many of them falling into the single hands of one individual who realized their potential. Having collected all but one, he placed them within a safe location; never to see the light of day save for the one he found connection with.
The lone weapon he did not manage to obtain, his kin did instead. And, again, said sibling found a very deep-seeded bond with that blade.
