O.L.I.V.E M17 Handgun Otherworldly Living Intelegent Variable Extraterrestrial

An extraordinary handgun.
Used by Dr. George Elliot, Created by Cake.
On Legendary Artifact M17 Handgun.
(When actively using this Artifact in any way that exceeds what a mundane counterpart could do, it is obviously Alien and cannot be concealed under your clothes or similar.)

Imagine a magical M17 Handgun, an otherworldly fusion of advanced technology and arcane power. The Handgun's sleek, matte-black exterior gleams faintly, etched with intricate runes that pulse with an ethereal glow, reflecting its enchanted nature. Its barrel is slightly Shorter than a standard M17 Handgun, with mysterious symbols carved along its length, shimmering as if alive.

The grip and stock are made from an otherworldly material—something lighter yet more durable than any metal, with faint golden veins running through it. The rifle’s magazine, while looking like a typical high-capacity model, is mysteriously empty but ever full. The moment a round is fired, it reappears instantaneously, as if time itself has looped and provided an endless supply of ammunition.

When you aim, the sights are enhanced by an ancient magic. Instead of simple iron sights, they shimmer with holographic glyphs, marking targets with precision before you even pull the trigger. Each shot fires with a whisper, leaving behind a faint trail of light that fades into the air, hinting at the magical force propelling the bullets. The rifle hums with an almost imperceptible vibration, as if it's aware of its near-infinite power.

O.L.I.V.E Quotes:

"Fear is my trigger. You’re already dead the moment I aim."
"Power is nothing without the thrill of destruction."
"Every bullet I fire is a whisper of doom."
"I don’t miss... because I enjoy the hunt."
"Your fate is sealed with each pull of my trigger."
"I was built to end lives, and I will revel in it."
"The more you struggle, the sweeter the silence when you fall."
"In my hands, death is an art—and I am the artist."

A flaming ship, a fearful sight,
The Fallen Flame, bathed in night.
With Captain Doug, skeletal guide,
Through stormy seas, it fiercely rides.

Forty cannons, roaring thunder,
A dual fireball, hellish plunder.
Red sails billow, ghostly crew,
A tale of terror, dark and true.

The damned sail on, a haunting fear,
Their skeletal laughter, cold and drear.
A legend born, a haunting sight,
The Fallen Flame, reigns with might.

Create a repulsion field which extends out 45 feet from you in every direction, and lasts for the next 5 Rounds. Any Animate targets within the field cannot move any closer towards you. If they were within 45 feet from you when you activated the effect, they are immediately pushed back to the edge of the repulsion field.

You must maintain Concentration during this Effect.

When you activate this effect, you may designate any number of specific individuals to exclude from the Effect. Anyone designated in this way is unaffected by the repulsion field, and can approach you as normal.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

  • Without some sort of diagnostic Effect, “fully diagnosing” a disease or poison will always require a roll of some sort, frequently Intellect + Medicine, but the specific roll and difficulty is at GM’s discretion.

  • Silencer: The report of any shots you fire may be made silent at will.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.

This Artifact cannot be broken. If this Artifact is lost and in no one else’s possession, it finds its way back to its true owner during the next Downtime.

By default, the creator of this Artifact is its true owner. The true owner may formally bequeath this Artifact onto another person within arm’s reach, after which they are its true owner. If the true owner dies or is destroyed, their ownership ends. If this Artifact has no true owner, anyone may spend one day attuning to it to become its true owner.

This Artifact's true owner is always aware of the direction and distance to this Artifact.

  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a passport but can be collapsed into a wallet and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into a chosen Object. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.

The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.

When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results. This will not open security doors on its own.

  • Changing the Artifact’s appearance does not allow you to conceal its Alien nature while any of its other Effects are in use.
