CASE FILE: Custom Weapon

Pancake
...........................................................................

NAME:
→ Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde

TYPE:
→ Automail tendrils

FORM:
→ Four automail arms, made of carbonfibre, stemming out from his back.

...........................................................................

BRIEFING:
→ These are four thin, long tentacle-like arms, approxiately five meters at full length with two hooks on the end of each one. They can collapse in on themselves to become a minimum of 30 centimetres long. They act indepedantly and are controlled as any other limb would be. Their movement, however, is not a simple task. They are phenomenally quick to jut out in a straight motion, but turn around extremely poorly due to their hard and brittle nature. They are frightfully strong; one alone is able to hold Pancake even at an odd angle, and the others can carry a person each. They can punch right into brick and metal with their hooks, giving them a huge deal of grip and attacking ability. This can be a downside, as if they hit something to hard they may become pinned. They're bulletproof but not shatterproof; if forced to coil and turn much, or with something holding it down, they will snap and shatter. Pancake can repair them unless it is completely seperate from his body, nerve connections included. The connection to his back is a very clean one, with no visible scarring.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:
→ While they have no special 'ability' the arms are capable of grabbing items with the hooks and using said hooks to get purchase and penetrate slightly into anything up to and including brick and thin metal surfaces.

REVISE

Metal can't really just like punch through metal... You don't see like Ed fucking people up with his automail arm that needs so much maintenance after like every fight. To be bullet proof would make them EXTREMELY slow and heavy. Think about it.

Firstly, Pancake's automail is made of carbonfibre, not metal. I checked on the FMA wiki, and apparently you can make it out of carbonfibre, to quote; "... however, contemporary technological advancements have allowed certain automails to be comprised of other materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, chrome, copper-nickel and aluminum alloys, so as to be less cumbersome and more durable than steel in abnormal conditions." I know that it's a light grey rather than carbonfibre's usual darker shade, which is because it was originally going to be fibreglass and I forgot to change the colour in the picture. As punching into metal, I was suggesting that really only the hooks can actually get purchase into metal, and even then probably only very light or thin metals; I probably should've been a bit clearer about that.

On the subject of being bulletproof, polycarbonate is a very light plastic. If laminated, it's bulletproof. Something does not have to be clumbersome to be bulletproof, though if it's still a problem then I'm happy to change it so the arms aren't bulletproof.

Nope, that's all I needed to know.
