- Hand Cannon - Modified with a prismatic crystal and overcharged galven circuitry, Esmeralda’s SE-14r is an extremely powerful weapon for its class with explosive results upon impact, owing to the particle beam modifications fitted to it. It fires bolts which are hot enough to somewhat reliably overpower even the infamous heat resistance of Baedurin Draelvasier, allowing Esmeralda to engage these targets with a good measure of success.
- Hyper Fire - It goes without saying that the SE-14r Light Repeating Blaster is a fast-firing weapon. Esmeralda’s modified SE-14r is no different in that respect, featuring a very high mechanical rate of fire, which while much slower in practice owing to the perpetual demands of cooling, nonetheless allows her to lay down an impressive amount of fire over a short period of time.
- Fortune Teller - If the pistol is fired with a misaligned prismatic crystal, the risk of an explosive outcome is very high, likely ending with the weapon exploding in the wielder’s hand to potentially catastrophic effect in the event that she attempts to fire it.
- Small Capacity - In the process of modifying the pistol and amplifying its firepower, the weapon’s ammunition capacity took a hit owing to its more powerful, concentrated bolts. As such, Where most blaster pistols have a capacity of ~50 shots, Esmeralda’s SE-14r can only fire thirty before the power pack runs empty. Given the weapon’s impressive rate of fire, this can go pretty quickly if the shooter is not careful.
Issued to Esmeralda upon her graduation from training and before her first mission in the field, while the SE-14r is an ancient design, Esmeralda’s weapon is fresh from the factory. Finding the SE-14r to be to her liking after a couple missions with it in the field, upon receiving permission from her superiors, Esmeralda set about adding an extensive suite of modifications to the weapon, intending to make it her own.
Firstly, Esmeralda adjusted the ergonomics, so that the weapon would better fit in her hands, as she generally uses both hands to wield it. Then, she added an advanced computerized interface scope, with a host of sensors to aid her in acquiring targets. From there, Esmeralda essentially ripped open the weapon’s internals, overcharging the galven circuitry to make the bolts behave in the manner of particle beams, lending them to explode upon impact, rather than being reflected back. This process also further augmented the pistol’s potential damage output, which was further enhanced by the addition of a prismatic crystal, making Esmeralda’s pistol an extremely powerful weapon for its class.
As Esmeralda’s SE-14r is an energy weapon, it has no physical kickback. Instead, its recoil manifests as overheating, which acts as the chief limiting factor to the pistol’s sustained rate of fire. These effects can be mitigated, though never entirely eliminated, by firing the weapon in short bursts, giving it time to cool in between volleys.
Modified from the chassis of a famously unreliable weapon, while Esmeralda’s weapon is fortunately more reliable than the stock variant, it also demands more frequent maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep, in addition to periodic replacement of parts. Fortunately, the diagnostic chip installed into the pistol provides Esmeralda with constant feedback regarding the weapon’s integrity, warning her of any potential misfires, overheating risks, detonations, and/or other potential hazards stemming from damage or wear to the weapon.
