Two Spheres hung in Nothingness. In the Sphere of Light, Paradise resided. In the Sphere of Dark, Purgatory resided. The Two Spheres collided, and shattered. From the Fragments of Light, Angels were born. From the Fragments of Dark, Demons. These beings lived in harmony for eons, until the rise of the Splinters. The Splinters were the gatherings of the residual fragments. The Light Splinters corrupted the Angels with thoughts of perfect harmony. The Dark Splinters corrupted the Demons with thoughts of chaos. The Neutral Splinters sensed the coming war, and withdrew into a new plane that they created through the fragments that did not draw together into Splinters.They called this the Universe.
It's an insectoid type of demon-thing's called "Splinters"Basically, in my games mythos, the universe was born out of the shattering of good and evil.What didn't take substantial form as either angels or demons became either polar splinters, or neutral splinters, the neutral splinters being the ones who actually created the universe.This particular one is going to be a "generic" higher level enemy.The little strand things you see coming of it's limbs and chest are metallic sinew type things, which make an awful screeching sound when they move, which is how they see, through echolocation. When you sever them the limb becomes practically dead, thus opening up an opportunity to attack. And the right limb is basically a giant cleaver.
This is primarily a power oriented weapon, it is not very fast. Not in the least bit.The bottom slot is where a hand goes (depends on the swing direction), while the top slot slides up and down.Something that I have not explained yet, for reasons unknown to me, is how the weapons will work. As I have explained before (I think) the universe is created from shards of good and evil. The weapons will form out of those, which can multiply at will. To help with the image, picture broken glass. Imagine the glass forming itself, while still shattered, into a sword. The weapons will be loose, just like the glass would be. So, that upper slot in my unnamed creation will slide around, basically how an arrangement of shards would act. Pretty weird image, eh?That's also why the Fiend looks like he does, he's created out of the shards.The fact that they also form out of there surroundings, since the surroundings are also made of these shards, as well as the entire universe, the weapons would disappear after combat, and only come when you need them.
It's a sword that's hilt spins within the ring. The ring also gyrates, leading to some damn interesting combo moves.
Ellie: I had a slice of ham in my hand. I was going to drop it, so I slapped it hard. It attached itself to the wall
