Axon Project Update: Axon Blade.This Saturday will be the day my class and I go to Seattle for a course in animation.
To that end I’m expected to be done with models, textures, background, animatic and video reference… this Friday! Completely reasonable, but I am far from being done because of my erratic workflow
. Still I’ll get it done somehow.
Today’s Update is about one of my props: Axon’s sword:
Wexxian Artefact: The Sword of AxonType: Plasmic Energy Blade projected from Nanite hilt.
Length: Variable.
Physical Mass: Variable.
True Mass: Unknown.
Weapon Reach: Unknown.
Power Source: Unknown.
Tech Level: 4+.
History:Originally forged by
Lord Axon using Nanites, morphable in both blade and hilt, the Blade became the prototype for the Wexxian Ion-Blades that are still in use. Axon was however not satisfied and continued to tinker with his blade. As a last addition before his demise, Axon made the blade able to self-upgrade; by mimicking technology and absorbing energy it came into contact with.
After the death of Axon and the destruction of the
Catalyst, the Blade was returned alongside the body of Axon by the
Jang. The Blade was unresponsive after its master’s demise and was placed in the Captain’s Cabin on the
Independence; Axon’s old flagship.
Until the appearance of the second Avenger the blade remained inactive and impervious to analyse while the Independence was turned in to a museum.
After the resurrection of
Teaz as the Avenger, Teaz declared that he needed ‘HIS’ weapon and went to collect it. After 150 years of slumber, the Blade activated again and was used by Teaz until his death.
The Blade returned to its dormant state again until it reacted to
Litaria.
After eleven years of possessing the Blade, Litaria is unique in the aspect of having had the sword for the longest time and with the least reaction to it. Some speculate that this is due to Litaria not being willing to accept her role as the Sword’s master. Others theorise that it is because the young S’etskarp is not the true Avenger, but merely a vessel that the blade has chosen to carry it to its next rightful owner.
Description: The Avenger’s Blade is undoubtedly the most powerful Wexxian artefact in existence. Precisely HOW powerful is unknown, as Wexxian attempts at analysing the blade has yielded no results except a slight dimensional flux.
A few facts are known about the Avenger Blade:
- It absorbs Energy and replicates technology.
- It has destroyed a number of
Catalyst (Semi-Ascended Species. ID:
04-0001. Threat Level: 4,0)
- It Killed a
Nameless (Semi-Ascended Species. ID:
04-0026. Threat Level: 4,5)
- The Blade is inter-dimensional. The Main bulk of the sword’s mass is not in this dimension.
- It has incorporated the Battle-Armour of Teaz into its hilt.
- It has only been reported to respond to:
Axon Tagan-Enerva-59-2, Teaz Alwes-Enerva-01-2 and
Litaria Teaz-Enerva-03-02.
It is unknown why the blade responds to some but not others, it is suspected that the Blade consciously evaluates if people a worth wielding it.
The blade has never been reported to communicate with its wielders or anyone else, but it is still possible that the blade in fact is sentient, given its behaviour regarding wielders and technology.
Status:Litaria Teaz-Enerva-03-02 is the last known wielder of the blade. But her whereabouts are currently unknown as she disappeared shortly after the
47’Th RRF. lost contact with
Meridian.

Render Test of the Blade:
Sorry for the lack of updates folks, I am really swamped with all this work... and myself being so lazy!
Anything in particular that you would like the next update to be about?
