But to be honest, I was thinking of posting a bio on your thread, Inferi, as a gunslinger that recently obtained crystal tech revolver after his side lost the war. He fought in it and wasn't particularly noteworthy, but he saw what the new tech was capable of and wanted to go where it was being pioneered, where there was opportunity.
How would a crystal revolver act differently in its fundamental use compared to a traditional firearm? The way I understand it, it would use the crystal itself, and the rest of the gun would be the matrix, firing basically "pure" energy out, presumably like a laser, or maybe like a perfect kinetic energy bullet.
Oh god no, it's not advanced like that. The function of the tech in firearms is just to make them more powerful and accurate. It uses the matrix (which is a small part of the frame, not the entire thing) to propel the bullet, and not too much else. Granted, because of the way it can work the weapon frame and design are more advanced themselves, but the tech itself doesn't make up the entirety of the weapon.
Sorry if I made it sound futuristic. The overall tech level is still a step or two below what we have in modern day today.
EDIT: Oh, I should just mention that, if he was actually part of the war, he would have already had access to the new weapon tech. That's what the war was fought with, after all. It's not all that uncommon, either, it's just not usually used by average civilians.
Also, that arrow has a bit of a wrong name. It won't actually destroy anything, it'll just toss it into the Astral Plane. Although, as long as they don't have a way back from that, it'll have the same effect in the short term.
West, if you came up with a something reasonable for why you had weaponized sheep, I'd probably accept it just because I find the idea of facing off against a villain group with artillery sheep hilarious. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
