(So this was originally a device submitted by Miyake and passed a couple of years ago before the new forums were posted. The original app never got transferred, but since at least one other person other than me was interested in using them as of late, I was advised to resubmit the app for them for the sake of reference. I do not have the original document on file, and this may not be exactly as it was originally published and is mostly based on my memory and playstyle with the technology, but perhaps that presents us with an opportunity rather than a drawback. If anyone has the actual original application somewhere available, please, for the love of God, let me know, and we can just paste that here instead.) Name: CRT Plasma Gauntlets Description: A simplistic-looking wrist-bound (or ankle-bound) device with specialized glove extension with a special battery pack attached. On the wrist/ankle device is a simply-labeled keypad with a certain number of keys that contain preset functions. Abilities: The plasma gauntlets can form various plasma projectiles or objects at the user's behest. These objects vary from simple blasts to fire directly from the gauntlet, or plasma knives, spears, blades (Assassin's creed-style or otherwise), shields, discs, or powerful (Iron-Man style) beams from the hands. It is also sometimes possible to improvise to produce other functions (for example, clapping one's hands to produce a plasma "wave" effect, or throw certain plasma objects, like knives, discs, or spears). While there are limitations as to how many items can be produced at once, there is not necessarily a limitation on how many different items can be maintained at one particular time other than amount of energy left in the power source. - The simple plasma blast acts like a semi-automatic pistol in terms of firing rate. - It is possible to create two knives/blades/discs at once, but only one spear for a pair of gauntlets at one time. - The shield can last indefinitely, until such time as the user deactivates it. - The plasma beams typically drain more energy than the other functions. Conditional Abilities (Optional): An android or synthetic being with a power source can use their own energy rather than some external power source in order to make the process more efficient. Synthetics can also bypass the keypad and input the desired function or item using their own programming or software if they learn and analyze how the gauntlets work, which typically isn't very hard for them to do. Limitations: The gauntlets can overheat or even break and damage the user if operated poorly or unskillfully. It also takes a turn for the device to heat up in order to activate any one of the weaponry functions, and each weapon takes up a different amount of energy. The % energy drained depends on both the function and the power source. Generally, it is also not possible to generate two different items at the same time. The hum of the heat building up in the gauntlet is audible, though it can be drowned out in environments with a lot of background noise to them, like a crowded stadium or a noisy shopping mall. Conditional Limitations (Optional): For androids or synthetics who use their own power sources, the more they use their power to fuel the gauntlet, the more energy they drain from themselves, shortening the amount of time they can operate without recharging. This is especially noticeable in long, drawn-out battles. How does it work: The device mainly uses Ceruliite Batteries, but can function off of other adequate power sources. It generates plasma from the energy it gathers and morphs into shape based on preset functions. Flavor text: Originally developed by Caitlyn Rivera Technologies, it was later acquired by Moonlighter Holdings, Inc.. While no longer in official production, the trademark, blueprints, and licensing are still valid under the company and have been kept under lock and key for a couple of years now. Referenced Technologies (Optional): Ceruliite Batteries (Another App that didn't make it through the transfer but are basically just batteries modeled after the Ceruliite, which is an app that (should've) survived the transfer, so perhaps we could just reference Ceruliites in that case) Attainability: Closed Tags: Military Category: Melee/Ranged Armaments (Wearable)
