Shirosuzume

From Inga no Kusari wiki

Shirosuzume is Kobayashi Nobu's Quincy artefact

Nobu's quincy cross is not very distinct, or as physically augmented as many other artefacts are; Hidden beneath his long, black cloak, worn upon his left wrist, the cross appears to be made of white wood, cut in such a fashion that none of the tree's layers show through the artefact. It is roughly 3 inches long, with each point of the cross being roughly 1.4 inches long. It has no writing, or markings that show it's uniqueness; It is attached to a thin, black, leather bracelet, which allows Nobu to keep up with it at all times.

It's manifestation is just as plain as it's cross; WIth the mere action of giving his arm enough space to form the bow, reishi gather's around the males' wrist and forms a rather normal, sustained bow of pure spiritual energy, roughly 30 inches in length.

Powers and abilities

Precision and speed: The strangest thing about Shirosuzume is the fact that unlike most quincy bows, it actually has no abilities. The bow is, in all forms, 'normal' as they come; Therefore, to supplement the lack of power it brings him, Nobu focuses on his own physical skill instead. His hands become precise, faster, and more agile than the average bow user because of which, and therefore he learns to fire at a faster, more precise rate than an average quincy, allowing two rapid-fire arrow shots. The trade-off is that in doing so, less reishi is accumulated for each shot, and thus the attacks are slightly weaker than an average quincy arrow.

Strengths

Shirosuzume has no particular strengths. Nobu, if anything, is it's 'strength'; His skill and precision with bow and arrow techniques allows him to make up for his bow's lack of abilities.

Weaknesses

Shirosuzume has no particular strengths, and therefore falls behind on situational advantages. It's lack of abilities means that Nobu must constantly adjust to changing battle environments with little to no help.
