Description: The Ra'bratos is a vibroblade that takes the form of a sword when activated. Its design is based off an ancient ceremonial sword, used thousands of years ago in the early stages of Levianeili life. The hilt resembles that of a rapier's, with an intricate guard protecting the wielders hand from damage. Inside the guard is a horizontal grip, extending to either side of the guard. The guards are often tailored to the user's taste. The end of the weapon, the part farthest from the end grip, is where the steel blade in contained while retracted. The grip contains the weapon's power core, the devices needed to work it and on the inner part of the grip, facing forward, is the activation switch. The switch can be flicked with a twitch of the user's finger, making the weapon extremely easy to call forth for battle. One of the devices within the guard is a dampener, which reduces the shock if the blade comes into contact with electricity.
The blade itself is much like that of a katana. At the flick of the user's wrist, combined with the activation switch, the blades contained within extend, reaching just short of a meter in overall length. The blades curve as they extend, forming two blades parallel to one another. The blades are so close together that they seem to be one blade, although closer inspection will reveal a small but fair gap between the blades. If one had to describe their shape, they would say it looks like two vibroswords being held within centimeters of each other. Normally, the blades are made of durasteel. However, other metals can be used to make the blades, although this takes time to effectively replace the already custom made blades.
During their creation, each sword is custom made to tailor its user. This includes the color of the hilt, its shape, as well as any modifications to the blade itself. In most cases, the blades are the same, save perhaps symbols etched into them representing their respective families. If the user rebuilds the blade, however, they can make any changes they choose to the weapon.
