(I cant remember if I've seen something like this here or not)
(These would be the two that my character would use, in longsword form.)
(Same two as above, but in lightsaber mode.)
Affiliation: Commonly seen with Force users.
Ownership: This nameless workshop character of mine, anyone else that wants to use it.
Intent: To give my character, as well as any others, an interesting option for combat that combines a lightsaber and a sword. It is for those that prefer the weight and properties of a sword over those of a lightsaber, giving a different approach to combat than with a normal lightsaber. The weapon also gives an interesting advantage against armor, as most armor is designed to resist either energy OR physical attacks, but not commonly both. As such, combat situations will be much more interesting, as the user can switch between modes at the touch of a button and writers will need to be more descriptive, as well as imaginative.
Model: PS-1 Arming Sword
Type: Lightsaber/Hand-and-a-half Arming Sword
Size: Blade length for both of mine will be 40", handle of the hilt 8.5". They each weigh approx. 5.2-5.5 lbs.
Composition: Blades and hand-guards made of a Cortosis-weave, the hilts made of Durasteel. The internals are located within the hilt, and are comprised of standard lightsaber internals, as well as a circuit system designed to bring energy conducted by the Cortosis weave back into the energy cell, giving it a self-sustaining property without hurting the effectiveness.
Description: The PS-1 Arming Sword is a sword, which when activated, can have the blade encased in plasma, giving it the properties of a lightsaber. It's purpose is to give users the option to switch between a sword or lightsaber, which can help depending on the situation. The internal components are the same as a lightsaber. The plasma is contained in a magnetic field generated from inside the blade, giving the lightsaber mode a blade-like shape, which can have advantages over a straight cylinder of plasma generated by the normal lightsaber. The design can vary as much as a normal lightsaber's can, but does require things like the blade to be made of Cortosis-weave or phrik alloy. The hilt is where the kyber crystal is housed, as well as all of the other plasma-generating components. Because of this, the weapons are only seen with individuals that have access to kyber crystals and cannot be mass-produced in some place like a factory.
(Seeing that this is my first Tech profile, please be nice :) However, any and all constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome!)
