I'm just doing this because everybody else is!
Well...whatever I feel like..when I feel like it? I guess. o_o;
Rakugaki (nameless art power finally gets a name)
Neon Graffiti's trademark ability to bring his art to life has led him to produce and replicate countless abilities and weapons, as well as generate some unique to himself. An artistic savant in a sense, he has trained himself to draw at near instantanious speeds. Several of his weapons are inspired by his own crew.



Pieces
Neon's constructs are aptly named 'Pieces', technically shortened from the word 'masterpiece', but double as a reference to chess pieces. Depending entirely on Neon's intention, Pieces can manifest as weapons or as living beings, both of which are doomed to dissipate after their usefulness is fulfilled and return to the magics from which they spawned.
By no means invincible, the Pieces are bound by a single weakness: water.


Neon Sword: The most basic of Neon's arsenal, the Neon Sword is a lightsaber formed from his signature. He can make the sword sharp enough to cut through metal, or blunt enough to incapacitate. When swung in the dark, will leave after-images that solidify and act as shields.

Onibi: These glowing fireballs are the only long range weapon in Neon's arsenal. He can make them as big or little as he wishes, and can control them remotely. If already holding a Neon Sword, he can convert it into an Onibi, and vice versa.

Bomb: Aptly named, Neon can conjure grenades that resemble his Cheshire-faced cat, Thirteen. They can produce an explosion of shrapnel, or a colorful smoke-screen. Named from a technique used in tagging.

Graffiti Gremlin: A collection of mischievous imps. The bizarre result of the nose art Neon painted on the GA's aircraft, they each exhibit their own personality and purpose. They are usually called in for sabotaging purposes, and the female Gremlins resemble vintage pinup girls so to "boost morale."

Raincloud: Neon's signature rain cloud is a cartoonish condensation which perches above his head, continuously raining down upon him. He can also command it to fire lightning bolts at his foes.

Neoncycle: Neon's sci-fi inspired motorcycle draws inspiration from Tron and Akira. It's front and rear lights leave trails of light when it rides through the darkness.

Neonmobile: Named in part because he couldn't think of anything better, Neon's signature car is a graffitized, radically tacky, tricked-out tuner with bosozoku elements sure to grab the attention of anyone on the freeway.

Dekotora: A Dekotora is a loudly decorated big rig with enough glowing accessories to put a Christmas Tree to shame. While not as fast as his car, it can plow through enemies like a lawnmower.

Train: What could be considered the culmination of Neon's Pieces, the aptly named Train is a mile long Piece drawn in the shape of a subway train, representing the one frontier the Graffiti King of Durem had not conquered (since there is no subway system in Durem).

Other Weapons
Other weapons Neon is forced into use when he runs out of paint include:


Murasame: A sword bred from blood instead of paint, taking the form of an umbrella with a hidden blade. Since it is born from bloodlust, it doesn't allow Neon to sheath it until it has tasted blood, so it is always used as a last resort. It is capable of using the culminating blood to summon a crimson version of his "Raincloud."

Neon Spray Paint: Neon's signature spray paint that made him famous among the street art scene in Durem, whom he affectionately dubs his 'cannons.' No one knows how the paint's glowing properties are produced. In emergencies, they can be used in conjunction with his lighter to create a makeshift flamethrower.

Paintbrush Staff: Neon's second signature medium, which also doubles as a weapon. Passed down by his master, the Paintbrush Staff is a remnant of a more traditional era of painting. Because of this, Neon only uses it for more of his complex pieces.
