Lightsaber (600) - Requires: Physical Proficiency

Heidi wields a particularly short and thin double-bladed lightsaber staff. The handle is about 16 inches long and rather thin, compared to the usual double-bladed lightsabers that tend to be closer to 23 inches. Within this lightsaber are two small Lambent crystals, either or both of which may be used by Heidi to produce a pink lightsaber blade two and a half feet long. Eiter or both of these blades can be produced in less than a second.

Heidi has two different uses for this weapon.

The first use of this weapon is singled bladed. Heidi summons a single pink lightsaber blade 2 and a half feet long. When only one blade is active, Heidi is better able to aim and block and control her own actions in combat.

The second use of this weapon is double bladed. Heidi summons two pink lightsaber blades, each two and a half feet long, from either end of her saber. When using both blades, Heidi’s concentration and aim depletes, but her rate of striking increases.

In either scenario, Heidi uses an amateurish version of Form VI lightsaber combat, the Ataru or “The Way Of The Hawk Bat”. This is an aggressive, acrobatic style. A practitioner of this form uses high-speed movements, impossible leaps, and deadly strikes. To an outsider, it appears as a wild rush of movement.

Heidi’s superhuman natural inclination towards acrobatics and leaping make her a “natural” in the art form, to say the least. She has yet to train more than a few hours.

Heidi uses her other moves in combination with her Ataru training.
