Description Class: Scythe
Name: Scissors

General Description: Scissors is the first HPC Scythe. Though it is very large, this scythe is balanced so that most of the weight is in the bottom half of the handle. This distribution of weight allows for very high speed attacks. Another trait of this scythe, which can be seen just above the handle, is the blade itself. One third of the handle is sacrificed to extend the blade's mass vertically, now that you see this, I'm sure you can tell how unique it is from any other scythe you've seen, well thats the point, it cuts differently than other scythes. Other scythes; when the blade goes in, you have to pull it out for another strike, or you slash with a back sharpened end which is awkward, or you swing at a pulled back angle just to cut. With HPC Scythes, you can swing how ever you want, it's gonna go right through the target. Because of the vertical extention on the blade, you don't have to worry about it being blocked just under the blade, making it useless, now you can just push on through with no worries.
Scissors: Each HPC weapon is given a specific class name like Longsword, Nunchucks, or Axe, or as used in this weapon, "Scythe". After that, that particular model is given an actual name (reproductions are given the same name) like "Wasp", "Tundra", or "Poltergeist, or as used here "Scissors". When each model is given a name, this is because of their specific trait. Scissors; as the name sudjests, works like scissors, when open, it can stab, grab, throw, hack, and slice, but its greatest ability is its ability to create a sustained blast of heat from the opening in the
blades allowing it to cause enormous damage while accelerating the speed of each swing.

nice weapon, very unique and interesting. I have only a few notes on practical matters...

It's much more likely that any heat blast would come from the friction and physical reaction of the blades closing, unless there's a mechanism that creates said blast easier when the blades are open.

To facilitate your design, I would have increased the vertical extension of the blade a bit more, almost making it like a hook sword, but stopping before it got to that.

Also, making it a hand and a half, or a double handed weapon would make more sense since this is supposed to be used with more force than a normal scythe.

I love the scissor effect of the blade as it makes it horribly dangerous.

Ironically, I was going to upload my own scythe design... much smaller and compact, and a very different type of weapon. but I did find this interesting.

It is two handed. Thats why the vertical extension only takes up 1/3 the handle, that way you can have one hand on the center of gravity and another somewhere else.

Thanks though.

The heat comes from the the blades using heating elements similar to a "maser" device, along with the use of a very small torch device just like a plasma welder but with a nozzle that sprays outward instead of forward.
