Rhian's Weapon and Armory

Name: Mayumi (True Bow)

Type of Weapon: bow & arrow

Primary/Secondary: secondary

Description: Both the bow and arrow is made out of yew. The arrowheads were made of gray flint. The arrowheads are also narrow.

Elemental Alignment: Wind& ice

Ability/Function: it has the ability to cut through the wind, almost slicing it which allows the arrow to go to a faster speed. It can also go a far distance because of its slenderness. Since the arrow gets fast speed, it can also pierce very deep into an object which gives a more stable hold when attaching to objects and can give more serious injuries. It will go slower if there is no breeze or wind at all, and if the wind is too strong, the arrow will be blown off course. The wind must be at average breeziness to make the shot quicker or more accurate. Sometimes, this ability doesn’t have to be used and can be used as just a regular bow. Rhian can also combine ice spells with her arrow. Ex: she can apply a spell which freezes a wide area starting where the arrow is shot.

Close/long range: long range

History: The bow and arrow was said to be used by one of Rhian’s ancestors and was kept in the family as a decorative heirloom. It was made by her great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather on her father’s side. He was brave and noble and knew many things. After he died from a battle, the family kept the bow and arrow in memory. Nobody has touched it until know when Rhian was taught archery. She promised to handle it with care and to cherish it as a family symbol.

Hmm . . . now, I know that generally speaking arrows can be retrieved and then used again. This is a good thing, all things considered. However, you use "arrow" in the singular which implies that there is only one arrow at all. Did you intend to have more than one arrow and if so, how many arrows before you have to retrieve the arrows so you can shoot again?

Also, how many shots do you expect to be able to make in a single post? Keep in mind that drawing and aiming an arrow is slower than most firearms, unless you're looking at the older blackpowder weapons where the reload time was killer.

Beyond this . . . I have some lingering wonderings about arrows being solid ammunition and all that, but that's not an issue I'm really qualified to deal with.

Mrs. Grizzley

Does your first question mean something like how many arrows can I shoot before I can retrieve them all.

Second question, I was kind of expecting two or one shot in a single post.

Gah, more than a month between posts. *sigh* Not good. I need to kick myself, hard.

Anyway, yes, the first question has to do with the number of arrows you have in the quiver. I'm also curious about how you intend to deal with the potential threat of an opponent grabbing the arrows before you can retrieve them and snapping them in half, or something.

Again, I apologize profusely for taking so long to get back to you on the matter.

Mrs. Grizzley

Well, can summoning back work or something? If not, she can always make arrows in her spare time.

Yes, summoning the arrow back can work. Weapons with a "return to keeper" function are pretty standard, actually.

As a side note, the site has moved.

We hope to see you there.
