Here's a sneak peek at some of the items the players will have access to throughout the game:
(The formatting of this post has gone horribly, awfully wrong. The preview window looks nothing like the published post. I'm working to try and fix this.)
Fruzi
This is a light and compact crowd-control weapon
which has won over the hearts of human rights activists all over the galaxy for one reason: Fruzi uses quark-manipulating technology to freeze and slow large mobs without
causing any physical harm or serious permanent brain damage. The thawing just
causes mild permanent brain damage - a step up from the alternative treatment doled out by law enforcement, commonly referred to as "death".
Venorama
Venorama was secretly developed in an underground
bunker without view from the public eye by a group of militant ex police
agents. When discovered, they were immediately imprisoned, and it was banned on
a galactic basis for being deemed ‘too cruel for use’. Venorama is part
biological life form and part weapon. It secretes hallucinogenic poisons, and emits incomprehensible wavelengths of sound and light to completely debilitate foes.
Flow
When Flow was first announced, everybody wanted
to get their hands on one. ‘A bracelet that can turn you into a chimp!?’ people
would exclaim. Flow allowed the user to morph into different creatures and
forms at will. It was a hot piece of tech, and everybody had to have one. However, Flow was gradually discontinued, as the bracelets were
linked to serious cell mutations, diseases, and in rare some cases, people
could get stuck in their morphed forms forever.
Newtron
Newtron looks and feels like a magical staff.
From its swirling crystal ball to its polished mahogany finish, the whole
design is simply a facade to persuade people of magic and is purely aesthetic. Newtron
is nothing more than some very powerful technology with an authentic and robust finish.
Whoever wields this gadget is able to fling themselves in different directions
at will, becoming almost impossible to hit.
Gatecrasher
Gatecrasher was custom-made by a team of engineers
against their will, under the order of Sorkoth the heroin clown. When the weapon
was completed, Sorkoth had them all executed, and grafted to the weapon to his
arm, claiming that anybody wanting the weapon would, quite literally, have to
pry it from his cold, dead hands. Gatecrasher releases large balloons which can
be ridden, or detonated, to release a blast of noxious gas.
Kronos
Kronos is the ultimate tactical weapon for
stake-outs. It’s also hilarious for pranking people. The bullets, when released,
stay dormant in the air, waiting for a signal from the host Kronos. The user
can then rewind or play the stored trajectories of the bullets, giving the
agent an heir of unpredictable stealth, like a deadly spider waiting in its
web, except the web can be manipulated outside of time.
Excalibridge
It’s standard practice for a security guard to
carry Excalibridge. Used to protect the galaxy’s celebrities and VIPs, Excalibridge
may look like a large sword, but the inside is packed full of priceless
hardware. This allows it to function as a mighty blade for fending off the paparazzi,
a mighty bridge to shelter the fragile celebrity, and a mighty distress beacon when
things get too hectic.
Vegas
Vegas is feared and worshipped for its ability to
control what the layman would call ‘luck’. Vegas has the ability to spray out flurries
of energy which can distort the natural order of the universe – unstable energies
can burn through hordes of enemies, destroying all their loot with them, while
other (less damaging) wavelengths can extract maximum loot at the cost of
pitiful damage.
Capitalism
Capitalism’s name is derived from the very ethos
of modern consumer-capitalism. When powered, it sucks the money from the very
pockets of all around it - regardless of their wealth. However, Capitalism is very pricey and hard to
obtain, so therefore this act is completely justified, since you worked so hard to attain it.
Nimbus
Even Zeus would be all, like, totally stoked, and
stuff, to be able to get his mitts on this state-of-the-art piece of
technology. Nimbus grants the owner the immense power to traverse over clouds –
clouds which can emit devastating bolts of lightning at the user’s command.
Revered and admired by mathematicians and
murderers alike, Vinculum is your ultimate solution those impenetrable brutes
of flesh and armour. The projectiles are fraction shurikens which alter the physical composition of the target, rather than directly damaging it. The Vinculum refers to the division line you would see in a fraction. Charging up the blast of this weapon causes the denominator of the fraction to decrease, removing that proportion of health from the afflicted target.
