Description Alright, time to present the Weaponry of Team MRLO, starting with Mourvédre's inherited weapons, Nostalgie and Grandiloquence. Unlike most weapons, these arms are not mechanical in any way, their build primitive in comparison to modern-day arms.


Nostalgie


Nostalgie has the appearance of a french cuirassier sword with a small handguard and a falchion-shaped blade. Upon it's transformation, the blade folds back, allowing a barrel appear on its back, while the blade functions like a extendable bayonet. The barrel shoots bullets formed from the iron of Mourvédre's blood. While the gun doesn't have the same destructive force than it's other half, the handle of the sword is layered with small thorns, piercing through it's wielders skin and drain blood to fire bullets. It's main function however is to "drink" blood, surrounding the blade with a visible aura. 
The blade gains an uncanny sharpness, creating a blade which can chip through the outer aura of living beings. This "buff" remains as long as Mourvédre can provide it with his blood. 

Grandiloquence


The most notable aspect of this weapon is the length of it's barrel, appearing akin to a victorian flintlock rifle. While it has the appearance of a Flintlock pistol, it possesses no hammer on it's back, instead feeding of Mourvédre's semblance instead of Dust bullets. 
The handle is lined with several spikes which pierce through the skin and "drink" up the blood within Mourvédre, allowing him to fire concentrated blood bullets which can easily pierce through the average aura. By focusing his aura even further, the gun can compress the blood, creating far more powerful bullets, even to the extend of shattering boulders to pieces.
The handle can also straighten and let a misericode-esque blade spring forth, forming a short-sword. 


As this wasn't enough, both weapons can be linked by their handles, forming a sword it a extended handle (and gun)  or a twin blade. It can easily be separated and Mourvédre can combine them easily to change his fighting style during mid-combat.


This weapon is heavily reliant on the user, if one possesses no blood semblance, this weapon can kill it's current owner. The previous owner, Mourvédre's many ancestors, died during combat at the campaign of Vacuo, as the weapon literally bleed him dry. So only those of the Vinvalier can use this weapon efficiently. Anyone else would discard this seemingly useless weapon. 

Trivia: The naming of the weapons is a quote of a Cainhurst Vileblood item, namely the Knight set:
The Cainhurst way is a mix of nostalgia and bombast. They take great pride even in the blood-stained corpses of beasts that they leave behind, confident that they will stand as examples of decadent art." Nostalgie=Nostalgie and Grandiloquence=Bombast

This duo is a lovechild of the three weapons originated from the Cainhurst knights, Rakuyo, Reiterpallasch and Evelyn.

This weapon and it's owner are rightful property to me,

My greatest thanks goes to who made this one possible! Thank you so much for the help and may the Good Blood guide you!

As always, the world of Remnant and RWBY are rightful property of

Keep moving forward!

can someone with a healing factor use these? I'm talking like wolverine level healing factor.

Healing the wounds while holding them would allow to draw new blood, but in a fight, any minor distraction is lethal. Having a advanced healing factor would be benefiting, but for the weaponry of the Vinvalier like these, an open wound is needed to unlock its full potential. A healing factor would get in the way of this weapon's prowess.

oh. I thought the healing factor would help keep the wielder from bleeding out thus allowing the blood to get in the weapons and activating the boosts.

In theory, if one possesses a high regeneration factor, the wound would close around the spikes and that...is painful to imagine. Plus, it would keep the (drinking) process going until the wielder is dead.

I'd say blood mages but I think that's what the guy who uses these is. a blood mage.

Pleasure doing business, listening to the Bloodborne OST over and over may or may not have side-effects.
If we were to talk about this weapon melee-wise, wouldn't they be still of use with their blades alone even without the sharpened blood augmentation? (unless the said blades are initially dull, then I'd have to rescind that question)

They are sharp already, but the "buff" extends their cutting edge and creates a blade thinner than a millimeters thickness, allowing it to sever through the bonds which make up aura. I short, the normal blades were used for common prey, as the buffed blade was for deserving foes, such as huntsmen.

Now that's a sword I don't feel like holding.  xD

Late!

I'd recommend staying away from the Vinvalier armory. Most of them feature such traits, some even more hazardous than useful

Now I'm actually interested.  xD

Well, you can imagine the Blood Letter being in said arsenal. Don't come running to me when it chops your arms off by accident

A bit like stabbing yourself for extra quicksilver bullets or transforming the chikage, eh?

Something like that. Only this one can keep firing over and over.

That looks badass dude and to be honest I like that there's still some characters that use traditional weapons compared to modern weapons

The Vinvaliers shun any form of modern technology, most of them don't even know what a television is, let alone a phone. 
So, very old fashion, even in their own weaponry.

I see that's interesting though and the design is very interesting as well because it covers all three range classifications very well

I always loved a weapon which has multiple functions. This one covers them all
