Renegade's Sword

The Renegade's Sword is a fairly uncommon weapon around Mobius, though one that typically shows up in the hands of professional soldiers, nomads and mercenaries. While well-balanced and designed around a more specialized fighting technique, these swords tend to have a negative reputation due to the weapons being commonly associated with rule-breakers and lawless fighters.

==Description==
Normally, the Renegade's Sword is made fairly simply, utilizing mostly plain steel in the construction process. As a wakizashi, the Renegade's Sword is roughly midway between a katana and a tanto in length, with most blacksmiths preferring a bronze tsuba and short; one-handed hilt bound in black cloth. 
==Native Abilities== 
The Renegade's Sword has no real natural elemental affinity, and to many it seems to be a standard sword to work from. Some have taken to applying toxins to the blade, or having the swords imbued with elemental energy. However, one of the key design features of the blade is actually in the design and weighting of the blade. While a very capable weapon in trained hands, these swords are designed to be utilized with a sword style incorporating iaijutsu, the technique of rapidly drawing and striking the target in a single motion. One of the key reasons of the sword's lack of use is due to iaijutsu serving as a counterattacking form, rather than a truly aggressive form. 
The tendency for oathbreakers to wield these swords is the true source of the name, though nobody is entirely sure why these swords are often markers for ronin swordsmen on Mobius.

==Wielders/Purchase Locations==
Many of the notable wielders are ronin; a kind of roaming sword-wielding bandit. However, quite a few of the wielders of these swords are veteran soldiers who are granted a level of autonomy in their actions. Some of these, such as Joe the Power Hedgehog, are commandos. Joe is also an unusual highlight in that he is not from Mobius itself, but rather from Sky City, a flying island-city of a kind similar to Angel Island. This highlights an older root of the weapon, as the residents of Sky City rarely if ever trade information with the surface.
