flint
/flɪnt/ – noun
Crystalline soul-severing weapons capable of manipulating the spiritual tethers that bind consciousness to flesh, wielded exclusively by The Lords and Seventh Order Adapts as instruments of divine judgment and ethereal warfare.
These otherworldly blades blur the line between physical combat and spiritual assassination, making their wielders the most feared enforcers in existence.
“That Flint’s spinning towards you, like death wrapped in neon…”
In the all of earth, even the shadow-drenched alleys of AetherPoint, where neon bleeds electric death and justice comes at the speed of light, there exists a weapon so terrifying that even hardened criminals whisper its name with trembling lips.
Flint.
“Lords move faster than lightning — their accuracy unmatched, wielding those soul-cutters like extensions of themselves.” — Dr. Elena Vasquez, Senior Flint Technology Researcher, Neo Manhattan Institute
Picture this: A crystalline shard blazing with inner fire, humming through the air like wind chimes in hell. Watch it curve impossibly, defying physics as it streaks toward its target. But this isn’t just another projectile. This isn’t just another blade. This is a weapon that can sever your very soul from your body — even if you’re tethered to a proxy.
THE ULTIMATE VIOLATION
In a world where death has been conquered through tethering and respawning, where humanity thought it had cheated mortality itself, Flint represents the one inescapable truth: some things are more permanent than death.
“A FLINT – half blade, half energy – slices through the air. These legendary weapons glow otherworldly, just as deadly here as in THE ‘VERSE. It hits your gangmate in the chest. No blood, just light. You watch your buddy’s soul just… disconnect.” —MUTES Gang Survivor Report, The Bandos Incident
WEAPONS OF THE DIVINE
Only two groups in existence have mastered these soul-severing instruments:
Adapts of The Seventh Order – Every member must achieve Flint mastery, demonstrating supernatural coordination when multiple wielders create geometric patterns of containment and destruction.
The Lords – Special operations arm of The Seventh Order and elite operatives moving with supernatural grace, spawning Flint from pure thought, wielding them in dance-like combat that transcends human capability. Lords are also the few on the planet legally authorized to carry and use firearms — a weapons system that has been generally banned worldwide.
“We are guardians of the balance between worlds—the digital, the manifest and beyond!” —████ ████████, Seventh Order Adapt
BEYOND PHYSICS, BEYOND SCIENCE AS WE KNOW IT
These aren’t just weapons—they’re innovations of natural law:
- Energy Tethering: Multiple Flint can form luminous “ropes” creating three-dimensional containment fields that suspend victims in electromagnetic agony
- Impossible Trajectories: Watch them curve mid-flight, return to their wielders like magnets to metal, or reverse course from embedded positions
- Time Anchoring: Can pin objects, people, or entire spaces in specific moments of time itself
- Interceptor Capabilities: Destroy incoming projectiles with surgical precision while simultaneously protecting allies
“His body arches backward sharply, slightly upside down, his spine curved at an impossible angle. His skin begins to singe slowly, cooking from electromagnetic forces rather than flame.” —Temple Complex Chamber Security Footage, Infiltrator Containment
SHORT-RANGE DEVASTATION
Don’t let their classification as “short-range” weapons fool you. In the hands of a Lord, Flint become extensions of divine will—throwing knives, spikes, Bo Shuriken that curve through impossible trajectories, creating battlefield control that forces enemies into perpetual adaptation or inevitable doom.
“Lords’ accuracy and speed with these weapons are unmatched — whether as short range or hand to hand weapons.” —The Unofficial Seventh Order Combat Manual
THE ULTIMATE QUESTION
In a universe where your mind is no longer confined just to your body, where death is merely inconvenience, where technology has made humans seemingly immortal…
What happens when someone still has the power to cut your soul loose permanently?
The answer lies in the hands of The Lords, in the sacred halls of The Seventh Order, and in the crystalline shards that hum with otherworldly power…
