Name: Last Tap

What is it:A large hammer, reach is shorter than most but it's almost guaranteed to kill or break anything you hit with it. Useful as both a weapon and a tool. The head is very heavy.

History: Used by an undertaker to build coffins and nail the lid shut. He liked to say that the banging of his hammer was the last noise the dead would hear. People around him began to live longer and as such business was slow. He was losing money and decided to take business into his own hands.

He started slow, killing one person here, another there. He used this hammer every time. Business was finally picking up but he got greedy, killing more and more people. The town got suspicious and discovered the undertaker's horrible secret,. It's said they used his own hammer to kill him and then build his coffin. Afterwards the hammer had disappeared.

Name: John Browns Saving grace

What is it: A lever action hunting rifle with a crudely mounted scope, the gun does damage on par with a sniper rifle and super accurate. Also slightly cursed.

History: Years ago, a Farmer by the name of John Brown got tired of the raiders, slavers and what ever else that had a gun rampaging through his fields and taking what they wanted. So, he pooled together every last hide and chip to buy an old; rusty hunting rifle from two towns over.

Buying what ammo he could with his left over money, John Brown waited until nightfall when the raiders came back. Hiding in a tree, John Brown killed all of the raiders that came to his farm. Finding himself better at killing then farming, John sold his farm and took up raider hunting and then bounty hunting.

7 years later and one more bounty was all that was needed to send John Brown into a comfy reterminet. He took his first non-raider contract, a Conferdete Captain. Setting up his postion, John pulled the trigger and nothing happened. Instead, the gun let out some sort of whine from the lever and alerted the Confederte’s to Johns position where he was promptly killed.

Curse: John Browns Saving grace suffers from a curse. The first type of enemy you kill with it (BoS, Raiders etc.) is the only weapon you can kill with it without having to suffer a luck test (results by a Mod or Admin). If you fail said luck test, then the gun doesn’t work and emits a whine from it for several seconds.

Name: Ruth

What is it: A baseball bat, heavily used and bloodstained. Zero usefulness outside of a weapon but when wielding it -that is actually holding it- you have a high chance to intimidate anyone your talking to. Chances to intimidate are based on Charisma and Strength with chances decreasing the lower those respective stats are.

History: Owned by a baseball player before the war. The ball bat became legendary when the ball player used it to send a record setting home run and win the world series. The bat and the man were inducted into the hall of fame.

The war however was not kind. Looters found the museum and took the bat. It fell into the hands of a raider gang leader. He was a ruthless man. He gave the simple philosophy of give it to me or I'll take it. Luckily for most people they gave into his intimidation factor long before he had to flex his power. The fact that he'd placed nails into the head of the bat and wasn't shy about using it probably helped to secure his power.

One day however he met the own person who could challenge him for his right for power, his twin brother. The brother killed the leader silently one night and seamlessly claimed his place. The people however, did not like their leader's new attitude. He was murdered violently and his body
was hung as an example.

Several people stepped forward to claim the power that the position of leader held. It led to massive riots, protests and in-fighting. Pretty soon the group had killed itself off, the survivors going their own separate ways. Ruth traveled to with her new owner all the way to Texas. It's rumored that he still holds it and has built up his own raider gang. It's said that anyone who wants Ruth will have to take her from his cold dead hands.

The Spike

Picture of the Spike

"The Spike is a terrible weapon. Utterly disgusting. Owned first by Jerome Taylor, the legendary Fort Worth Pig Man. He was an upstanding guy at first. Worked in a mine and earned his pay. Lived alone on Pig Man Road. Kids would taunt him every so often as a right of passage. One night, he snapped. He grabbed his old pickaxe, now known as the Spike, and went on a killing spree. Three police officers, seven people at a convenience store, and five teenagers. It took the riot squad to bring him down. Ten bullets. Ten rifle shots finally stopped him in his tracks. His pickaxe is rumoured to be possessed by his insane spirit."

Attributes

- The Spike is an anti-armour weapon, able to punch through steel plate.

- Heavy melee weapon.

- The Spike is possessed by the spirit of Jerome Taylor, the Fort Worth Pig Man, and any character wielding it will be subject to hallucinations of being attacked by police officers and being taunted by strangers. Treat as a Random Event. These hallucinations will turn out to be innocent bystanders as Jerome Taylor takes control for a time and goes on another killing spree.

Jeanne

Item Type- Ordinary Furniture - Chesty-Thing

John was a carpenter. One day he received a request, to build a simple chest like the one in a magazine. He did as he was told, and made a finely crafted object. However, the customer also asked for the words “For Jeanne“ stenciled into the back of the chest. A common request, John did it without a second thought. Little did he know that the man was going to give it as a going away present to his mother, who was moving to Texas.


Oh, and Mommy was a weapon collector. It's filled to the fucking brim with guns.

Name: Mercy

Mercy

The girl ran, trying to escape from her pursuer. Her clothes were in rags, she was bleeding from the chest. Tripping over an exposed root; she landed facefirst into the ground. Pushing herself up; she arrived at the feet of her pursuer. Grabbing the young girl, not yet 15, by the hair the man brought her terrified and screaming face up to eye level. Slashing his knife across her throat, the pursuer grabbed her tongue from the wound and yanked. Whispering something to the dying girl, the pursuer turned towards the lights of the police running through the woods towards him. Placing the knife to his own throat, the pursuer slowly cut while giggling and whispering his own mad mantra.

What is it: ‘Mercy’ is a butcher knife that was once wielded by the Southern serial killer known only as Cancer. Killing nearly 76 people before taking his own life in front of the police, Cancer wrote hundreds of letters to the police and newspapers (as well as to the victims families) proclaiming that the police will never catch him and always signed his letters with “Cancer always finds a way”. It wasn’t until October 22nd, 2077 that the police finally managed to catch up with Cancer. His knife was left at the crime scene overnight as the police began to investigate. When the bombs fell the next day, Mercy was thought to have been lost forever.

Thought to have been.

Attributes: Mercy counts at a combat knife, despite it really being just a kitchen knife. However, you can only kill people with the ‘Colombian necktie’ (Slashing persons throat and then yanking persons tongue out from wound). If you don’t, common myth is that Cancer will make you attempt to relive his 76 kills on anybody. With a successful luck test, you can bypass the curse. If you fail the luck test, the next person you kill must be killed by the Colombian nectie. If not, continue until you do kill somebody like that. If you don’t, well, good luck on keeping track to 76 and not being killed.

Name: Cosmos' sidearm (As seen in episode 26 "Attack of the Venushion brain slug")

The Adventures of Captain Cosmos was a fairly popular show before the war, it had a legion of fans who were either insanely loyal, or just insane. One example of the later would be the young man who modified a Phazer to look like Captain Cosmos's. He then decided to make it fire twin beams like the Captains did in his favorite episode.

Thinking he took away the guns ability to kill, he jokingly fired at a friend, who might have survived if it had been one beam that hit him. Arrested to be tried for man slater, the fan never saw the inside of a jail, because the bombs fell right as they loaded him into the squad car.

The gun managed to survive the blast due to the fan placing the weapon in a heavy lock box for a "True Cosmonaut" to find. Sadly, I think that a scavenger with a crowbar isn't what he had in mind. It's traveled from one end of the map to the other, usually thought of as only a rumor, but it does exist, somewhere.

Attributes: As mentioned, the phaser fires twin beams of energy at the target. Though whether it says "Stun" or "Kill", the fans tinkering gave each setting the same strength, which is potentially lethal point blank.
