One of those fancy threads where you post pictures n'stuff relevant to your characters.

For example:

http://img10.deviantart.net/81e3/i/2011/286/9/9/wheatley_the_saw_whet_owl_by_kodasilverwing-d4crmkn.jpg

This is the baby owl Kitra got as a present to Ko. She named her Owl-lexandria, but she calls her Bean.

Fukiya - A blow gun used to shoot poison dipped darts at the unsuspecting victim.

Kakute - The ninja would quietly strangle enemies with the ring stuck in their neck. It was far less messy then using a sword, and left very little evidence on how the victim died.

Manriki-Gusari - It was small and easily concealed in the palm of the ninja's hand, or in a sash. While holding one end of the chain, it could be swung around and used as a whip. The weighted end could cause a great deal of damage. They are also used by throwing them as the victim is fleeing, to trip up the one trying to escape.

Shobo - Meant for striking pressure points on an enemy. It was a piece of wood that was gripped by the wielder and was hung by a ring worn on the middle finger. Some versions were rings with a wooden peg attached on top. The ends were exposed and were usually sharp, which made them effective for paralyzing and even killing enemies quickly and without leaving a trace. They were easily hidden in the fists and were very lightweight and portable. They were usually worn in pairs. Many ninjas constructed their own shobo, although some were given from master to student.

Tetsu-Bishi (calthrops) - small metal weapons shaped so that one point is always up. They, like the shuriken, were a weapon used for distraction while fleeing. The ninja would scatter the calthrops behind them and anyone unlucky enough to step on them would not likely continue with the pursuit. They could also be thrown, and dipped in poison like the shuriken.

Tanto - The tanto, or knife, was an important weapon in the ninja's arsenal. Like the ninja-to, the tanto was not made of the high quality steel that the samurai's sword was but the ninja made up for this by using the tanto as a multi-purpose tool.

The tanto was used to pry open doors, dig holes or small ditches, or it could be thrown like a shuriken. Of course, the tanto was also used to cut and stab an opponent as well.

Poisons - Ratsbane, organic and easily accessible poisons from the seeds of fruit (i.e. cherry, plum, apple, peach.) i.e. Cyanide. A mixture of tomato and rhubarb leaves resulting in cardiac arrest. "Amanita phalloides", a deadly mushroom, easily slipped into meals and only takes a small piece to cause certain death. Either dipping his Fukiya darts in the concoctions or slipping them into the food unsuspected.

Not all of his poisons are meant to kill, some are used to paralyze, cause temporary blindness, or put the victim to sleep.

http://orig10.deviantart.net/db60/f/2006/332/7/5/texture___ratsbane_by_markopolio_stock.jpg Ratsbane. To be crushed and drained of the oil of the leaves, put into a vial.

http://www.discoverlife.org/IM/I_MWS/0293/320/Amanita_phalloides,I_MWS29302.jpg Amanita Phalloides. Either a small piece broken off and put into the meal of the enemy, or crushed and squeezed of oils for his darts.

https://followthelemur.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/cyanide.jpg Cyanide, typically accumulated by the seeds of particular fruits or bought through trusted associates. The latter being very few and far in between.

And finally, for use of kidnapping in order to take the enemy to an unknown and abandoned area for interrogations by means of other actions.

Chloroform.

Sometimes to also troll those he considers friends. Quite the prankster.

Items Becca has on her 99% of the time.

One thing she rarely ever leaves the house or whatever run-down shack she's living in, is the jacket given to her by the man resembling anything even close to a father figure, a cop named Lee.

Menthol Newports. Cheap as hell, but easy to get.

A zippo she picked up from a gas station, personally etching Los Angeles into the metal out of boredom with a swiss army knife and carefully painted over later. Thing was a few years old, and the flint needed to be changed regularly, but she'd grown attached to the keepsake. Never Forget was etched into the other side.

Being a part of the Nightingale ranks of the Thieves Guild, a counsel of sorts that consort with Nocturnal personally. Armor and bow can only be received upon reaching that rank. Trypp's been there since the beginning.

Taken from the Polyvore CD contest, I've decided to incorporate it into Sawyer's story and creeper antics. Those he stalks will strangely find a copy of this mix CD (Even with the cover as seen below) somewhere in plain view, in their own home. A little uninvited present left behind.

I Love Luci

(A thank you to Avi-mun for finding a reference for Luci's blade. You're the best~)

Each Archangel has a sword specifically tailored to them, no angel sword looks the same as another; i.e., no angel has the same sword as Lucifer, none have the flaming sword like Michael, etc. Their swords represent their authoritative standing in Heaven, the rank of angel much like the stars on a military officer's uniform.

This one, is Luci's:

http://pre14.deviantart.net/da3d/th/pre/i/2006/212/6/4/temp_by_gypsfulvus.png (Photo credit and artist credit goes to Gypsfulvus on DA. Link can be found here.)

Approximately 1 foot long hilt and 3 feet long split blade, it packs a devastating punch. The metal used is known to the angels, forged only in Heaven (with exception now to Mynardi; Hell's weaponsmith) by a material one could never find in any other realm. It's the only metal that could kill an angel and demons don't stand a stand a chance.

Much like Michael's flaming blade, Lucifer's sword has it's own specialized property. He doesn't often let those know what it can do.
