[/b]: BName: Hanged Man, or Koshukei No Otoko.
Classification: Puppet
Type of: Offensive Puppet
Physical Description:
Hanged Man is a Puppet of roughly below-average human height, about five feet and three inches tall. The main feature of note is that this puppet, upon a first glance, has no arms. While many see this as a design flaw, Gihei has in fact done this on purpose for two reasons. For one, it allows him to surprise opponents with two small sets of arms he applied to the construct himself, and two, it cuts down on the Puppet's weight to allow it more speed by having two sets of ''secondary'' arms that are much smaller rather than a bulky set of ''primary'' ones.
The puppet's overall appearance is designed to be somewhat intimidating. It sports a demon-like face almost like that found on some scary masks, a pair of polished and sharp horns, and a human-like stature. It sports a full white outfit with a purple collar and belt, and lacks footwear. It may seem like an aesthetic choice, but this allows it to hide its secondary sets of arms until the time is right. It lacks the rope in the above picture. Its legs are particularly bulky and reinforced. The body is made of reinforced wood, trading a small amount of speed from body reinforcement to give it durability in close combat.
Object's Capabilities:Being a primarily offensive focused creation, Hanged Man has many compartments in unorthodox locations in addition to its close combat specialties. It should be noted that Hanged Man has no special abilities to speak of, mainly relying on the use of attachments and common weaponry. However, it does sport unorthodox weapon placement and a great variety of offensive options. Due to its user's inexperience, it has no poisonous additions as of yet.Rank:
Head: In its head there are a few compartments mainly used for projectile combat. Due to its small mouth, this Puppet can only fire common projectile weapons from here such as senbon and kunai. The horns however can fold backward and rest on the head, revealing two circular compartments that can launch poison or smoke bombs in a mortar-like fashion at medium ranges. The horns feature a locking mechanism as well to prevent them from opening up, securing them in place should the opportunity arise to gore an opponent closing in from the air.
Throat: The throat only features one tactical option, which is a durable thick metallic wire that gives the puppet its namesake. This is launched at enemies in hopes of binding them, usually a body part, or in the most positive case, strangling them. The wire has been used before by the puppet's previous owner from above an opponent to quite literally ''hang'' them, using something like a tree branch to give the puppet the correct height and pressure to do this.
Torso: The torso actually has no attack options, and is instead used to house ammunition for the various projectile attacks Hanged Man can employ. It utilizes a belt-feed system to the rest of the body to feed ammunition. Even though it is reinforced more than any other body part, it still serves as the weak point; should certain pockets of the torso become damaged (namely from behind), it can disable feeding of certain types of weapons to where they are fired from. For example, if the torso compartment that held poison bombs were to be critically damaged, they could no longer be loaded and used save for the one already loaded.
Arms: While the puppet has no arms at first glance, wrapped around its waist underneath its belt and just below the shoulder blades are a set of two smaller secondary arms used to surprise the opponent. The arms that fold out from the back of the puppet have a hole in each palm to fire projectiles, while the two on the waist have close combat modifications. In their palms is an eight-inch retractable steel spike used for stabbing opponents, while both arms have a curved blade running along their sides that extend about ten inches past the fists when they are closed. Both the spikes and blades are about as long as a dagger.
Legs: While its legs are thick and powerful, they have no real weaponry to speak of. Their main use is to bludgeon an enemy with powerful kicks, and the only thing that stands out is the puppet has short but sharp and pointed claws where the toes would be, five on each foot. While they can be used for slashing, they are much more effective when used to pierce.
