Basically the intention of this artifact is to provide socially based character a combat option right out of the gate. Mechanically anyway. From a story aesthetic its just plain awesome. The Artifact itself is basically a set of Magitech speakers worn on a character's off arm and shoulder, keeping a characters hands free to play some sort of valid instrument or hold a microphone. These things provide a means to for the character to more finely manipulate the essence flows inherent in sound waves. In this way a character can use sound waves as a powerful damaging force. Screaming death. Im a huge rivithead if you couldn't tell from the "Industrial" plastered on my page. So my view of this artifact was considerably darker then the standard "metal god slaughters through the power of guitar riffs". I have to admit most of the inspiration for this weapon and the associated martial arts came from Trigun. Bluesy Killer Horn. Master of sound and sonic destroyer of the gung ho guns. Apply that concept to steam-punk tech and eastern asthetics and you get my mental image for this artifact. As for the use of this artifact...Terrifiying. I imagine enemies falling to their knees as the wailing sound of mechanized fury destroys the softer parts of the human anatomy, causing blood and liquified tissue to stream from their eyes, mouth and ears. Waves of sonic force furrowing the earth as they pass, snaping enemies like twigs as they are thrown away, broken and twitching. A figure swathed in black, throws off his coverings. His left arm is plated in bulky gold mechanicals. His massive fist hangs past his knee, hissing steam through knoby ports in his knuckles as he opens his palm face out to reveal a speaker port that encompasses his entire, dinner plate sized palm.There is a whiring sound of gyros reving up as gold lion motifs open their maws to reveal a total of six more speaker mounts. Four medium tweeters up his fore arm for fine control. Two sub-woofers mounted to his bicep for power. He plugs plugs a Mic into a shoulder port and dials up a knob on a golden torc he wears around his throat. Essence begins to coalece over the speakers like a heat mirage. The figure opens his mouth and every bit of matter around him is obliterated. Lyrics that speak of rage and loss batter the area with palpable force akin to a hurricane. Nothing can stand before him. *shiver* Good stuf.
More on this later. Also, im working on a Martial Arts style specifically for this weapon. Ill post the Charms ive completed soon.
