[SIZE=11pt]SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Acid damage: The Ihu Pleku deals acid damage instead of heat or kinetic damage.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Poison damage: The Ihu Pleku releases a deadly poison that if ingested, makes the user rapidly become very sick. In the first thirty seconds the user may become very shaky and experience light headedness. In the first two minutes, fever is developed, and soon after most black out. In the first three minutes without treatment, the poisoned individual would most likely experience heart problems. After four minutes most of the test subjects experienced cardiac arrest.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Highly concealable[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Force dead[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Telepathic connection: The user activates the Iku with a telepathic connection. When the user is ready to use it, they merely let the Iku know with a simple thought (this is common for Vong Tech). The user will feel the urge to sneeze, which builds with time over a few seconds. How long the fuse for that sneeze time lasts varies from user to user, quite like a normal sneeze. This can make using the Iku Pleku tricky. However, when it finally goes off, the user sneezes, spraying the poisonous acid.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Force dead: The Iku Pleku is Force dead. It cannot be sensed or affected by the force for good or bad.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Concealable: The Iku Pleku implants itself in the user’s nasal passages. Short of a full medical exam, the Iku Pleku is almost impossible to find once it is on the person. It can last indefinitely in the user’s nasal passages in a parasitic relationship. Pretty gross right?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Close range: You literally have to sneeze on your target. If you try to wear a helmet while activating the Iku Pleku…. Well, your probably gonna die.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]One shot: The Iku has a single shot of use before it dies.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Medically removed: The Iku Pleku must be removed surgically once it has expended its single charge. It dies immediately after use and begins to decay. After 48 hours, the Iku Pleku is in full-on rotting phase. If left loger than 48 hours, the Iku Pleku will infect the bloodstream of the user with disgusting pathogens (its dead, guys. It’s decaying).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Bafforr Tree pollen: True to its type, the Iku Pleku is allergic to Baffor Tree pollen. If the user comes in contact with this, the Iku Pleku will die and must be removed from the user’s nasal passages. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Inaccurate: The Iku Pleku is literally powered by sneezing on someone. The accuracy of this technique is pretty questionable unless the user has no idea what is coming or is unprepared. Moreover, a lot of societies across the galaxy have a taboo of getting sneeze on or sneezing on for obvious reasons. The users may have a hard time targeting their subject just because literally… they are sneezing on them.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]RMIA has long held to the mentality of making stuff deader. While tanks and massive powerful war machines fill that maxim, there is a need for some unique weapons for spies and the stealthy kind of fighters, or those who just find themselves at a loss for anything else left to do.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Ardgal decided to make one of his first steps into Vong Tech by commissioning the Iku Pleku. The bug was quickly created and developed to his specifications with little ceremony and a lot of testing which may or may not have resulted in several deaths. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]To say this is a unique weapon is an understatement. The Iku Plika implants itself into the user’s nasal passages and quickly becomes a parasite, feeding off nutrients in the user’s blood stream. This is rather harmless, it won’t kill the user, but implanting is painful and results in a nosebleed at first. The user can keep the Iku Plika implanted as long as they’d like with no negative side effects until it dies 3 months later. Alternately, the Iku Plika can be stored in a hibernative state for up to a year in chill at 0 degrees Celsius. Iku Plika do not reproduce or mate. They do form a telepathic connection to their user, waiting for the user to trigger the Iku Plika’s defensive (sneeze) reaction.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]When the activate the Iku Plika, the bug’s acid/venom sack fills to max capacity. This reaction irritates the user’s nasal passages, giving them the urge to sneeze. Unfortunately the amount of time from start to finish varies from Plika to Plika, but it ranges in 1 second to 30 seconds. When the sack has reached full capacity, the user sneezes, sending the spray of acidic venom into the air.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The acid is strong enough to eat through about 3 cm of durasteel in less than a minute and most human flesh virtually instantly to the bone. It reacts like a typical acid in the typical chemical reactions of an acid. However, it is also poisonous. If ingested (swallowed), the user quickly undergoes a series of potentially deadly chain of events. The poison can be countered with antitoxins, however the longer this takes, the more lasting damage the poison does. In the first thirty seconds the user may become very shaky and experience light headedness. In the first two minutes, fever is developed, and soon after most black out. In the first three minutes without treatment, the poisoned individual would most likely experience heart problems. After four minutes most of the test subjects experienced cardiac arrest.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]All in all, its just a random, weird vong biot that implants in the user’s nasal cavity.[/SIZE]
