Death's Edge

Death's Edge
Rank: B
Type: Primary / Sickle and Chain-Scythes
Special: ---
Description: A versatile weapon created to combine the abilities of the wide-ranged power of the halberd and the maneuverability and flexibility of the Kusarigama (chain scythe). Both forms of this weapon has a sleek streamlined motif set so that the very air will scream as the blades cut through the air before them while the chain has a small spike set up on every other link so that whenever a target is caught in the length of steel they will bite into the target insuring their death.

The weapon in its standard dual scythe form has two 5 foot blades from the top of 3 foot metal rods, connected by a 5 meter chain which run through the metal shafts connecting at the base of the blades within the shafts. the bases of the scythe-handles have a locking switch that will disconnect one of the blades from the shaft when connected while the second blade will spread apart into a gap at the back of the blade so that the user can twirl the pool and lock the first blade into the gap securing the blade in an upright position keeping the chain snug to the handle while the split blade will expand out an extra 3 feet making the full dimensions of the sickle is a 6 foot long handle and an 8 foot long scythe blade.
Cost: 25,000 Ryo

A ten meter chain would be way too long for a user to manipulate properly. Edit down to the 2-5 meter range. Other than that it looks pretty straight forward..

I'm having trouble picturing what this looks like and how it works in my mind- probably because I've been up for 18 hours and have gotten three hours of sleep.

Is it basically like... a double-bladed scythe, but the blades are attached to the staff by chains?

[Forsaken]

no it is basically a kusarigama but with two scythes rather than the weight/ ball on one end. then the bottoms of the h andles lock together and eject one blade that will fit into the top of the other

basically.
this becomes this

[Naitome]

It's not "basically" that becomes that, it's exactly the same weapon as Death from Darksiders II, just made for nrp. I cringe at accepting this. Is there anyway you can attempt to make something that doesn't just pull from other shows/animes/games/books/etc? Customs is not designed for you to recreate every weapon that exists everywhere else and use it here, it's supposed to be for YOUR OWN unique ideas.

[Forsaken]

why does it matter if my ideas aren't 100% original? it's not like I gave it some soul/kill charge to increase its damage or creating purple waves of slashing energy. I just don't see why we can't make and use things from other sources as long as it is geared for NRP. not like I'm making Black Materia from FF7 to pull a madara (I.E. Meteor)

Okiedokie, I'm going to weigh in on this topic.

I DO NOT CARE IF YOU USE IDEAS FROM OTHER THINGS TO CREATE A CUSTOM. Wolfy, borrowing from various sources is neither the ideal situation nor is it something I can personally condone. That being said, there is no actual rule against it; it's not hurting anyone, because chances are you'll be the only one to use it. It could be argued that a lot of jutsu are based off of, let's say ... Pokemon moves. It's true, there are so many parallels that if you took out the "technique" part it could probably just be renamed to a Pokemon move. Is that a bad thing? No, not really, because this is freakin' Naruto and not Pokemon. It's also RP, and no one has the right to judge you if you don't want to be a little more creative. The truth is that ALL ideas come from somewhere, or they've already been done to some extent somewhere else. Just get over it.

With that rant over, I'm going to allow this scythe. But I want to caution you against continually doing this. Yes, you can use other things to get the basis of an idea. Ideally, you should INCLUDE other things that make it more uniquely yours.

My overall issue with this weapon is that it's very poorly described, as Exar mentioned. Can you please make it more clear in the description so that it's less confusing? Linking pictures is perfectly acceptable so long as you have text as well.
