The Arsenal
Arsenal is a place within the forge belonging to Souldier which has every single weapon or armor he has acquired or created for himself. He's also created non-usable replicas of what he has created for others.
Created Weapons
Pile Bunker Mk. I & II (RAJM and Hakusan)
Souldier's most hi-tech pieces of equipment, the pile bunkers are weapons composed of a hydraulic piston connected to a spiked shaft and recoil springs; they use rapid compression to drive the piston forward, which in turn drives a spike into an object. In the case of the Mk. I, it then retracts quickly, readying itself for another strike, the Mk. II requires manually retracting the spike.
The Mk. I (RAJM) straps onto an arm. It bears a pair of spikes that violently push forward. Initial design flaws resulted in a heavy recoil and thus harmed the user. Souldier's friend Solarchos was able to rectify the issue. It is now even capable of rapid fire attacks. RAJM is capable of alternating fire with the spikes.
The Mk. II (Hakusan) is a larger version with higher destructive capability. Its diamond tipped spike can punch through the thickest of armor platting with minimal effort. However, after firing, the heavy spike must be retracted manually. This pile bunker is held with both hands and generally fired from the hip. The user must be mindful of their positioning, lest they be knocked backward by the immense recoil. He is currently working on an upgrade for the Mk. II, and plans to rename it Kenrouken once it is completed.
Gun Chariot
A GunLance which underwent reforging with rare ores and parts from a Silver Rathalos. It is capable of piercing attacks and shelling; close range rounds weaken even the toughest of defenses. The GunLance is also equipped with "Wyvern's Fire," where it charges up plasma which erupts in a massive explosion. An unwieldy weapon, it has a steep learning curve. It can fire three shelling rounds before reloading and comes with a large stand-alone shield. He's currently working on upgrading it, but requires hunting a powerful Silver Rathalos.
Tenebra
A dangerous blade, he has since had the weapon sealed away.
Acquired Weapons
Dimension Diver
Dimension Diver is Guyver's main weapon and transport, and more information on it is available here.
Weapons Made for Others
Forever Faithful
A light bowgun made from Kirin materials and adorned with pink and azure rubies. Given to Inu-Kitsune as a gift for her and Solarchos' wedding. It is well balanced, has very good range, very little recoil, handles a wide variety of ammunition, and is easy to maintain. The Kirin mane which covers a good portion of the weapon flutters beautifully even without the wind. Souldier considers this to be one of his greatest creations.
Dual Sais Mk. II
Pointed sais for his (ex)sweetheart Yuma blessed with an ability to be recalled by the wielder. A third one is specifically for throwing. The original set was lost to her, thus the ability of Recall being inscribed. The sais are filled with his love and affection for Yuma.
Trailing Edge
A pair of elbow blades made to fit Mongoosetiger like a second skin. The inside of the blade contains a liquid which alters the balance of the weapon itself, making the difficult weapon even harder to master. Understanding of this balance shift is the key to delivering even deadlier blows for this exotic weapon.
Smolder Dragonsword
A wedding gift for Genty, the Longsword is made of precious ores and parts from the gargantuan dragon Lao Shan Lung. The non bladed edge bares the fangs of countless monsters shaped to resemble a flame. The blade caries the essence of dragons. Made using a monster hunter guild schematic.
Bitter Lies
A bone katana specially made for Yaijinden. Though not as sharp as a metal katana, it's just as deadly. The non-bladed side is covered in wyvern scales. Removing it reveals a section which houses self-replenishing wyvern fire sacs, which ignite within the sword an epic blaze with each blow that lands on an unfortunate foe. It is referenced from the Wyvern Blade Maple.
Guardian Sword
Guardian being the namesake of ?, Souldier felt the urge to make him this blade. The sky blue, double edged sword looks like a claymore, yet it's light weight and exceptional balance are not to be believed. Then again, he doesn't think ? will have a use for it.
Expert Hammer
Made from a Monster Hunter Guild schematic. It resembles an axe but is instead a very sturdy and heavy hammer. The main side intended for striking has three spikes for added opponent discomfort. Given to Solarchos on a whim. Very heavy! Ironically, Solarchos has used this very weapon against Souldier during a match to good effect.
Foil of Poking
An orange-tinted foil with a cute white ribbon bow standing in as a guard. Given to starcat as a gift. starcat does not prefer violence; therefore, the foil is not pointed or sharp in any way.
Serene Impact
A pair of gloves made using leather and Cilsius Steel. Very effective for Ki users like Joanna Smithson, whom it was made for. Zept assisted with the gloves by enchanting the metal.
Pile Bunker
Made for Saki's birthday. The Pile Bunker is actually quite large, being bulky for anyone lacking physical strength. It's not a fancy weapon, but it's destructive power is absurd.
Korean Bow
Made lovingly for Eiry.
Quinoxian Double Bow
Made for Matsuo Shin. The weapon is constructed from two short bows, carved from birch wood and linked together via a small piece of wood. It is held in one hand using the small "joiner" while two pairs of arrows are fired from both strings at the same time.
Daora's Regulus
A lance, made for Matsumi Kaze to celebrate her birthday.
Punching Dagger
A punching dagger for TheHunterKiller. It's made with Damascus techniques.
War Fan
Made for Miara Mitsuki's mother. The blades are made in Damascus style, the fan portion is patterned to resemble a hiding Lupa in Changed form.
Other Items
Guyver has made many items besides weapons, working with metal, wood, leather, and many unusual materials from monster hunting. He's made rings and other jewelry for various friends, but only those that frequent The Hotel will be listed here.
Gemini's Scabbard/Holster
A ruby scabbard made for Gemini Sunrise's katana. He chose the color to match what she wears. The holster is made of vegetable-tanned leather to better take care of her Single Action Army.
Melahoa Flower Armor (Type Z)
Made for Eiry, it's a suit of purple flower armor. It doesn't look like it at first glance, but it is not just for show and is actually very resilient. Its aroma gives feelings of nostalgia. His original intention was just the outside (flower) portion for her wearing at Floral Heaven but at the mention of protection, he also included the chain mail and padding separately as is standard issue for armor. Souldier went over-board with attention to detail, pulling a pair of all-nighters to make sure everything was perfect. Considering her smile, for him, it was well worth it. Souldier also has two Melahoa sets for himself, a purple one and the original blue one.
Wooden Hairpin
Made exclusively for Etna. He found himself wondering what to create, but after a bit of motivation in the way of flowers from Eiry, he settled on a skull design with the teeth being pointed to double as a comb. The request came from Etna asking him to make her something, and Souldier subsequently wondering how she would look with her hair down for a change. He got is answer as she let her hair down to try it on. The hairpin is painted white with black.
Eiry's Rings
Souldier made both an engagement ring for Eiry, and both of their wedding rings. Soul's wedding ring represents a red gem for her, a blue gem for him and a diamond in the center representing their bond. Eiry's wedding ring is an Indian jasmine, the flower petals are white gold, with the inner part of each petal set with a yellow marquise gem, the mouth of the flower has a round diamond.
Trivia
The name Arsenal is something Guyver came up with in sort-of reference to Solarchos' Bunker.
