UPDATE:
Exculpa got updated! Now, it has additional blades and can be used as a throwing glaive a la Warframe. A character sheet featuring Hellaverse Tani and her weapons, including this, should be made soon to give better details. Hellaverse Tani is pretty much normal Tani with more normal proportions, weaker powers, more fragile body and relying more on her weapons than powers.

Previous and still accurate lore from the previous version just below:


FINALLY!

After thinking about it for weeks, I finally decided to try doodling a prototype of Tani's "new" scythe Exculpa.

So here it is, in my ugly skill.

I dunno what to do from here, whether trying to commission someone to refine it or experiment more first. I'm considering giving it textures similar to the Zariman Void Corruption growths from Warframe, with different colors.

A bit of lore:
Exculpa is Tani's main melee weapon, a scythe that can be folded into a much smaller form to be carried and to deceive foes.
Unlike Entropy, hir multi-purpose revolver, it is not a Chaos creation, but a gift to Tani. From who, I won't say just yet, but let's say it's a very personal gesture, related to the name itself, derived from exculpation, meaning acquittal, exoneration and even to a lesser but significant degree absolution and forgiveness.

In its folded form, it looks like two sickles connected together by [REDACTED] energy and forming a disc. While mostly intended for portability and deception, the blades are functional and very sharp and the position of the smaller ones can be used to catch and parry other weapons.

When unfolded by separating the "sickles", the rest of the weapon bursts from the energy balls at the extremities and forms, its pieces floating and linked together by [REDACTED] energy beams.
Lacking a proper physicality, its main energy "staff" still can block and parry physical and energy objects, as well as be elongated, shrunk, bent and curved, depending on the necessity.
The smaller tip is a blade that be shot at targets, its sharpness allowing extreme penetration, and then pulled back.
The main blade can be rotated around the "head" piece, allowing the weapon to be used as a spear if necessary.

Unlike Entropy, the weapon doesn't cause physical corruption when held, but unlike its ranged Chaos counterpart that can temporarily grant its wielder the knowledge, dexterity and strength necessary to use it, Exculpa needs innate skill to be used properly.
