Name: Wrist Blades

These wrist blades come in the form of a pair of bracers that start below the wrist and ends just before the elbow to allow the wielder full range of movement while the blades are not in use. The bracers are made of a metal shell with a leather interior and has metal plating added on top of the shell to provide better protection for the hallow interior provided by the shell, the shell itself is meant to be worn facing the back of the wielder's hand. Within the hollowed metal shell is a set of two blades that are designed for close range combat like one would expect from a dagger yet frees up the user's hands for other activities such as weaving hand seals. The blades are serrated and features an almost wave-like design to tear and cut into enemies easier, often hooking into their enemies' flesh.

The blade itself is 25 cm long from the back of the wrist to the very tip and it's 3 cm in width with a small gap of 10 cm between the two blades.
Backstory: Perhaps the most iconic of the Yautja weapons, the wrist blades are designed to be easily accessed yet not get in the way while the Yautja member isn't in combat. It's close range usage, simplicity and the ability to keep the hands free has seen nearly all members of the clan using this weapon, either as a last resort for long range skirmishers caught off guard or for the close range brawlers looking for that extra edge. Due to these traits, this is almost usually the first weapon earned by a Yautja member yet either it be due to the greenness of the Yautja member or the wrist blades being highly sought after, the wrist blade is arguably the most stolen item from the clan and as such, it lead to most tribes frowning at the idea of gifting the weapon to outsiders.


Ryo Value: 3,500*
Type: Sharp

Health: 50
Trait: Retractable Blades: With a flick of the wrist, the wielder can activate a sliding mechanism that releases the blades from the shell inside, this is done via wire that attaches to a small switch that rests between the wielder's thumb and index finger, the movement while subtle allows the blades to slide out of the metal shell and flicking the switch again retracts the blade back into the shell. This action takes one post to slide the blades in or out of it's metal shell and 10 AP.

*May only be purchased/created by a member of the Yautja Clan. It can be worn by anyone provided they acquire the wrist blades in the first place, either through thievery or being gifted the weapon.
