Tier Two:

DESCRIPTION:
- It is important to note, beforehand, that Rev isn't insane. This is a LOT of equipment, and while he MAY be insane, CONTRADICTIONAMG, he doesn't carry ALL of this at once. Generally, he will always have the dagger, the gauntlets, the revolver, and the cross. His motorcycle will generally hold the shotgun and chainsaw, in the event he needs them, but without the motorcycle, he'd have to leave his cross behind to carry one of them, and has to stop carrying it in order to properly wield his chainsaw and shotgun anyways. Outside Inferis, he also has to set his cross aside for any form of agile feat, regardless.

As of level two, his weapons will be in a very specific order, and will conform to a specific type each time. That order is, as follows;
- Light Bladed
- Vehicle
- Heavy Ranged
- Heavy Bladed
- Light Melee
- Heavy Melee
- Light Ranged

As such, he may have ONE vehicle at any given time, SIX light weapons at any given time, and FOUR heavy weapons at any given time, with a total of SEVEN per thread, mixed and matched at his choosing in his first post. On foot, he may have THREE light weapons and only ONE heavy weapon, the rest being left in a vehicle.

-His CrossGear is a very simple contraption; to fit with his preference of entering Inferis on a vehicle of some sort, usually his motorcycle, his CrossGear is a pair of foam dice, like the kind people obnoxiously hang on their rear-view mirrors, especially in cheesy racing movies. Within them, they have CrossGear technology that allows him to enter Inferis at will. They are also seven-sided, though the picture doesn't show this, NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING.

- Holydagger is a specially made dagger, which an ornate gold hilt, about four-five inches in length, and adorned with imagery of crosses. The blade itself, however, is silver, and about eight inches in length, engraved with a chain of crosses. This is one of the more commonly-seen weapons of the Rev, who uses this in particular for his infamous cross-carvings. Like all of his weapons, it practically reeks of holy water, if that's even POSSIBLE. The blade is sharpened often, and when not being used, is stored in a nice, and very decorative, sheath. It is usually being used, though...

- The Crusadermobile is a custom-built model of motorcycle, which Rev uses to ride into battle. It is custom-tailored to his height, weight, and erm... driving skills? Which he lacks, in favor of RECKLESS CRASHING. It is also, however, a pretty black and silver road-warrior, with crosses messily etched all over it, and with custom-made tires with crosses embossed around the circumference of the tires, such that it imprints soft surfaces like sand with a chain of crosses, not dissimilar to that on the Holydagger. It also has a modified fuel system, such that it runs on (holy) water. Because HOLYMOTORCYCLE.

- The Blesscannon is a beautiful piece of machinery. At 140 centimeters long, it is a rather beastly shotgun, but it certainly has style. Shaped like a combination of a cross and a shotgun-sized revolver, the 1 gauge behemoth is gold-alloyed for a nice shine, and is fitted with a scope. It holds ten shells, fully loaded, and fifty more are kept in a pouch on Rev's person at all times. The shells are, like most of his equipment, custom-made with holy water kept in small vials inside the ammunition, such that when a shot is fired, it fires alongside a spray of holy water steam. For extra demon-slaying. As one could imagine, this shotgun may be REALLY powerful, whatwith every shell weighing a pound and all, but it lacks heavily in accuracy, making this almost useless at medium-long range. Which is fine, because it is BEST used as a blunt instrument anyways.

- Ah, Ye Olde Repenter- a splendid addition to Rev's arsenal! This bad boy is, like everything else, engraved with crosses, on either side of the blade, and on the handle. It is ALSO a chainsaw, and little else HAS to be said, but I'll describe it anyways. Ye Olde Repenter is about two feet in length, total, and is commonly used by Rev for intimidation. The blades are all edged in iron and silver, for that nice demon-flesh-burning awesomeness, of course, and everything is spritzed daily with holy water. If you saw a psychotic preacher revving a chainsaw at you, you'd start repenting pretty quickly, right?

- The Hands of Healing are a fine specimen of equipment. These are the gauntlets commonly by Rev most of the time, during combat, and have a small cross etched into the tips of each digit on them. Made of iron, with gold accent parts, they are notably heavy, though the Rev is a strong man, and can easily bear the weight for long periods of time, even while wielding his other weapons, several of which are heavier than most weapons anyways. They come in handy when he is dealing with situations where the rest of his weapons are either not present or less than useful, as they improve his hand-to-hand combat, against non-demons.

- The old rugged cross is the crown piece of Rev's arsenal. It is a cross, six feet long, 2.5 feet across, made of solid iron, and is generally carried on Rev's back, loosely slung on, for ease of access. As you can imagine, it is heavy. At a whopping two-hundred pounds, it certainly takes a powerful man to wield it, and despite boasting a benchpress of 700 lbs, even Rev can't accurately swing it, as with a sword, rather, he relies on the power of his swings, and the momentum generated, for attacks, wielding it like a large club with both hands.

- For when the Blesscannon is a bit much, the Blessblaster is a smaller firearm, a revolver, made of silver and gold, at about 50 centimeters in length. It fires a .500 caliber shot, each bullet being hollow-point and silver, for maximum demon-hunting efficiency. It is also rather convenient as a discreetly concealed weapon for use in real world situations, outside Inferis. Crosses are found embossed on it at several points, matching the theme of the rest of his arsenal.

- The Blessid Thorns are a pair of rapiers that Rev owns. They are of decent blade length, two and a half feet, and while they do have edges, which are rather sharp, their main attribute is their ability to parry attacks, and the skillfulness he displays when wielding them both simultaneously. Both blades are made up of an iron-silver compound, with gold-plated ornate hilts. These are his weapon of choice in sword duels, and one of his more commonly used weapons.

- The Blessmobile is a gold-colored Chevy Camero, with a black cross painted down its back, such that a top-down view would show said cross. It is used for when a motorcycle may not provide the best support and defense; that said, the Blessmobile is built with a steel cage on the inside, and only the finest in security measures. This car is essentially the car from Death Proof, except it's usually put into MUCH more dangerous situations than intentionally totaling it to kill unsuspecting hitch-hikers. It, like all of his weapons, is blessed often, and the paint it was painted with contains traces of silver, and was mixed in holy water.

- The Divine Light of Truth has a very flashy name, and it seems almost as if it would be a sword, a shining white sword that glows pure light and radiates holiness- actually, it's a flamethrower. It, quite literally, launches a beam of light, and the "truth" of the matter is, it will burn you to a crisp. Unlike most of his weapons, however, there is physically no way for FIRE to be made holy, really, so while he DID have the weapon coated in silver, the FLAMES aren't silver, per se. Still pretty painful though, to anything that isn't flame-resistant, or fireproof. But like all flamethrowers, for all its awesome, it has drawbacks; it is HEAVY for one. REALLY heavy. It also blows through an entire tank of fuel in ten seconds of steady fire. So it can really only be used once per thread, unless he reloads it out of the trunk of his Blessmobile, as there is really no room for extra fuel on his Crusadermobile.

- The Wrath of God is, in fact, every bit as terrifying as it sounds. It is a massive greatsword, decorated in crosses and presumably heavenly runes, more likely just made up on the spot for the sake of coolness, and made of- you guessed it- IRON AND SILVER AND GOLD. I weighs in at a pretty whopping 16 pounds, and is six and a half feet long, the handle comprising a foot of that length. It's a massive weapon, even amongst other greatswords, and truly takes a master to wield properly. Thankfully, Rev is exactly that. This is the blade he uses when he really just wants to cleave demons in half.

- Heavenly Thunder is another oddity. Considering just how often he accidentally killed people, he decided to invest in a nonlethal weapon for once; a cattle prod! Essentially a higher voltage version of a stun gun, mounted on a stick, he can use it to nonlethally attack others. WELL. Would use it for this... Except even with a nonlethal weapon, he is STILL highly prone to accidentally murdering people to death. Eh. C'est la vie? At any rate, it is made of iron and silver. And gold. Obviously. And is blessed a lot. ACTUALLY, THE HOLY WATER MIGHT BE WHY IT'S SO DEADLY... CONDUCTIVITY, SILLY REV. IT'S A THING.

- You'd also think Guardian Angel was for nonlethal purposes, but, alas, no. A crusades-style tower shield, it is made up of that wonderful trio of metals used in nearly everything he owns, and blessed obsessively, it is a rather strong defense, capable of taking most hits easily, even catching small-caliber bullets, and it, being quite large, is quite capable of covering his entire body, whilst crouching. The thing is, though... Despite its obvious defense abilities... Rev STILL prefers to just beat the unholy Hell out of everything, QUITE LITERALLY LOL, with his shield. A total offense IS the best defense, right? Right...?

- Finally, as a nice cap on his second tier of weapons, Rev wields the Judgement Horns; a pair of flareguns. Yes, you read that correctly. Flareguns. They each hold four flares at a time, and said flares can travel a maximum of fifty feet before exploding, like flares tend to do. The guns themselves are made of iron and silver, and coated in gold. The flares are blessed individually, as are the guns themselves. The flares are also rather slow, compared to other guns, or, for that matter, bows. Still though, they are dangerous, because they explode, which can blind, deafen, and if it makes direct contact, EXPLODE people. If you are within ten feet of the flare when it blows, expect second-third degree burns.

REVISE

1] I'd strongly advise you note somewhere that he doesn't continually carry all of this - the gauntlets, revolver, and dagger always being on his person are fine, but you might want to say that he typically interchanges the cross, shotgun, and chainsaw, keeping whichever two he isn't using on the bike? 200lbs is a bit much to drag around ALONGSIDE a chainsaw and a cross.
