    Name: OR-191 Prosthetic "StrongArm."

    Description: The Strong Arm prosthetic is a limb alternative of the arm. It showcases the ability to form balls of shaped plasma in the palm that can then be thrown. It also has a short double barrel .44 magnum integrated within the elbow facing outwards. It has an outer layer of synthetic skin with embellishments of polished durasteel and ferozium on parts that require them. (The conduits that produce and contain the plasma within the palm being created with Ferozium, the area outlining the barrels of the magnum are bordered in durasteel.) On the top of the forearm there is a modular compartment that can either be gutted out to serve as a means to store small items covertly or it can otherwise house a universal cable that can be retracted or extended that serves as a means of accessing devices using cybernetics.

    Abilities:
    - Can create balls of plasma that can then be thrown in a particular direction.
    - When assuming the proper position one can fire either both or a single .44 magnum round from the elbow.
    - Someone with the proper cybernetics can access electronics and interact with them via the universal cable within the arm.
    - The .44 magnum can be an amazing surprise weapon if the user intends on shooting first. It can be easily concealed under clothing.

    Conditional Abilities (Optional):
    - One could store contraband, extra ammunition, or tools to escape cuffs within the compartment if they opted out of the universal cable counterpart of the arm.

    Limitations:
    - The arm can be easily EMPed, thus rendering it completely useless.
    - Once a ball of plasma is thrown the user must wait for the arm to recoup the energy needed to create the plasma AND wait for the conduits to cool down. (5 turns)
    - The plasma takes a turn of its own to create, a turn of its own to throw, and depending on the distance can take an extra turn to hit. The 3rd turn can be nullified if the subject is relatively close by.
    - The plasma thrown has a throwing arc is a rather unwieldly thing to throw making some targets hard to hit.
    - The magnum rounds cannot be reloaded in combat due to the person's clothing covering the port in which it is reloaded in.
    - The accuracy of the .44 Magnum within the arm is limited to 5 yards due to the awkward positioning of the gun.

    Conditional Limitations (Optional):
    - When the universal cable is deployed, if present on the prosthetic, one could grab the cable causing a great deal of pain to the user. This could be potentially fatal if they forcefully rip the cable from the person's arm. If the cable is directly connected to one's brain this could then cause severe trauma. The matter of connection is rather flexible.

    How does it work:
    The StrongArm is a battery powered prosthetic, the main chassis of the arm is composed of durasteel and save for the conduits for which the plasma is created. The firing mechanism for the .44 Magnum in the elbow uses the same mechanism as the Mule's Leg Prosthetic's double barreled shotgun. The conduits on the fingertips and palm of the prosthetic allow for the creation and manipulation of the plasma ball.

    Every and all articulating joint of the arm is manipulated via servos, the largest of which is located at the main arm joint at the shoulder. The servo on the elbow is instead two separate servos allowing room for the barrels of the .44 magnum. When shot, the cartridges are expelled from barrel from the inner portion of the elbow. They are ejected from the same opening they are loaded.

    The major electronics and parts of the plasma generator within the hand is located within the forearm. The arms have sensors within the synth flesh that can feel just as a normal person's arm can feel. The creation of plasma within the palm causes these sensors within the hand turn off, so that the user does not feel the potential intense heat of the plasma ball.

    Due to plasma being relatively lightweight, the abundance of plasma contained within a single ball is denser and heavier than the projectile fire from a standard plasma gun. This is intentional and a result of the plasma being typically too light to throw. With this, this makes the throwing characteristics of the plasma ball relative to that of a baseball, or softball.

    To fire the .44 magnum within the elbow, one must direct it so that the very edge of the elbow is pointed at the target. The gun is fired willfully by the user by mere thought.

    The recommended firing position for the integrated gun is having one's hand on the back of the neck, as if scratching or rubbing it. This allows for a clean and true shot.

    Flavor text: Tested and Produced by Vance Ocana himself. Created to be flashy and functional, the OR-191 is one of Vance's proud robotic prosthetics.

    Referenced Technologies (Optional): It uses the same firing mechanism as the Mule's Leg Prosthetic.

    ( Outdated ) Edit Note: Wowgain gave me the permission to change attainability to semi-closed as of 12:18 AM EST 3/3/17 due to it being under the same guidelines of another prosthetic made by Vance, and several of his products.
