Glad to hear you all enjoyed. After checking the wiki again, I have come to the determination that, not counting Due Process' final form, two, maybe three, more cursed guns do exist on Remnant. Well. It's more like one is contextually cursed, one is only kinda cursed, and the one actually carried by a named character is genuinely cursed...
Actually, I think I just thought of a sequel starring gun number 3 in specific. So that will probably be coming on the weekend.
Talon, Fafnir might be earning his next paycheck.
Other reaction plots? Not sure. Count toyed with the idea of Yang reacting to cursed vehicles, or Blake reacting to open mic night at the Mistrali Mirth Motel.
Cursed blades? I can think of two? three? four?, although two just make the same mistake in design. But I don't know who I would have react to them. Who likes swords the way Ruby likes guns? Who'd get really bent out of sha... Adam. Adam would get upset at cursed swords. As in, Blake is getting left on read, these people are getting shanked by a proper weapon.
In fact, that sounds like a prompt idea. - Adam not stalking Blake anymore, and Blake gets mad at him over it? His this been done yet? On here or on SB? She still doesn't want anything to do with him, she just likes the attention and she's upset she's not getting it anymore.
- Kicking around idea for wolfgirl Faunus weapons magnate from Atlas. I took some bits of Tony Stark and some bits of House Stark, but when I threw them in Count's EZ-Bake bathtub I came out with a Jorhan Stahl type character (so a potty-mouthed businessman/outsider-of-the-political-class whose fuckton of money. More ideas are getting thrown into the mix. Insane? A father who was an officer/high commander in the Mantelian Chemical... or... no... even that's too stupid. Keep it chemical for now, Count. Now? Chemical Corps? Too big. Battalion? The absolute lowest end. A division commander (Major General) sounds about right for building a secret society conspiracy out and having a lot of resources and connections to hand. A Brigadier could do it too, but plausibility. A Colonel or Major acting on the former's orders if I keep it down to battalion level... At least I know she carries a greatsword. 80 Inch (203cm) blade, it is both an HF weapon and a Dust blade. Trying to decide between executioner sword and whatever type of odachi that Virtuous Treaty was.
But enough about that. In Whitley-borg timelines she's one of the two driving forces behind the project.
The Atlesian state/public sector's counterweight to prevent outside contractors from scooping up the Whitley-Borg initiative is Overseer Kirk (Last name undecided, Talon, what was Pyrrha's father's name again? I might have a something that might eventually transmute into an idea, going with Lowenhardt meanwhile). Melancholic and cynical, a poison in the veins of the Atlesian Council's control over the military. And even then Ironwood doesn't trust him with all of the jiggery-pokery he plays with the rules - even though said tricks have been nothing but beneficial thus far. His research in AI modelling and ability to commandeer projects about to be axed and turn them into overnight successes have set him neatly on the line between engineer and politician. The other thing is that he believes zealously in trials by fire, and works almost all of his subordinates into states of paranoia, forcing them to unendingly contend for his favor. He is not one of Salem's agents but he has the ability to turn any environment he is placed in into looking rather similar to their handywork just by being himself. The only one who seems to get a pass is Adler, his personal attorney who follows him everywhere.
Other idea for a WAW-era Dr. Richtofen (A scientist who somehow has the right to wear general's uniform in spite of the fact that he is clearly insane).
