Hello, Everyone! I was bored one day and I thought, "What if I made a sword that was introduced in the next Rose Regalia Promo?". I started brainstorming and drawing and I came up with the...Floral Dead-Header, because when you cut the flower off of a rose, that's called dead-heading the rose. I illustrated my idea, and it came out really well!
http://imgur.com/a/NrdFu : This is the black and white illustration of the weapon. (I made a colored version, too.) The knight grasps the handle in between the two rose spots on the handle of the sword.
http://imgur.com/a/bkqSr : This is how the knight would swing the sword. In the illustration, the "K" represents the knight, and as the knight attacks with the sword forward, the knight swings the sword (the edge of the sword being represented by the DARK line) in a circular motion around the knight. I want the sword speed to be pretty fast, (not as fast as the dread venom striker series) but at about the same speed as the Brandish line. (Maybe a little faster.)
http://imgur.com/a/Rrmhv : This is the charge attack for the sword. For the charge attack, the knight swings the sword in front of him/her in an arc like the brandish line, but instead of a brandish-like charge, a rose plant grows and ensnares the enemies touched by the sword. While the enemies are ensnared, they can't move unless you hit them with a sword or anything like that. The effect would be similar the frozen status. Also, the rose plant will do a small amount on damage for each second ensnared until it is left alone for a long enough period of time (7-8 seconds), and then it will break off the enemies and do more damage. (Again, in ways similar to the frozen status.)
Unlike other promo weapons, I want there to be a line that involves a 3*, 4*, and 5* Version, where the 5* version would be the Floral Dead Header. I think that this would make the sword a lot easier to get and therefore, make it more enjoyable. It could even be crafted with materials only available during the Rose Regalia event.
As far as damage goes, I'll just have to leave that up to Grey Havens. (If they even look at this.) I'm thinking along the lines of Piercing and Normal damage.
http://imgur.com/a/rhria : Here is the colored image. As you can see, the sword has roses of different colors on the hilt. I also added a green line that goes just around the hilt of the sword that resembles the green line that goes around someone with the rose aura.
That's about it, I'll Leave Grey Havens to come up with the description of the sword. (They always make really funny ones!) Feel free to comment and criticize, because that's how you help me get better!
Cheers! <3

That's about all I can say.
Just...
Cool.
(also I think for a weapon the materials crafting is a much better idea: just look at what happened with Mixmasters!)
