RWBY X Star Wars the Old Republic: The Dark Side of a Rose.

This Lightsaber design was one I came up with for my Fan fiction "The Dark Side of a Rose" for Chapter four, The design was meant to reflect what I thought Ruby would build for a lightsaber if she was a sith. Obviously the design itself was inspired by her weapon Crescent Rose, along with Kylo Ren's lightsaber and Vader's lightsaber as well, though unlike Kylo's lightsaber Ruby's crossguards are not required vents but added features that can be turned on and off or turned into a primary blade for use of a Light Scythe. It can also be split in the middle as a paired saber then used as dual sabers or with one put away she could use in standard Lightsaber combat forms. Due to the fact the saber is made out of Phrik alloy it makes it resistant to lightsaber strikes. So she could use it in its deactivated deployed state as a bo staff. Also the design also means it could be a saber staff or a lightsaber pike (now depictd,) with cross guards. Also the hooks used for connected the sabers also function as hooks for her shoulder harness. (Edit 7-30-16) Depicted more of Rose De Sang's modes Such as full Light scythe, Lance, Dual Phase (Zweihander), saber staff and disconnected deactivated. With this Update I think I show how versatile Ruby's Lightsaber would be. some notes about the dual phase, at max power the quillons have to be on to vent the excess energy. also with the light scythe and lance the quillons can be shut off if depending on the situation unless at max power.

Pertaining to the Insanity of the Design, I personally hold Ruby as a genius for weaponry, if anyone could make a Saber like this work, it would be Ruby. along that lines a saber that can readily shift into many modes like this one would be and ABSOLUTE nightmare to fight. Her fighting style also reflects this as she knows techniques from all 7 forms along with Jar'kai, Trakata and Sokan but has not mastered them. She can shift the forms of this saber at will and put her opponent in a very bad situation, as she can do it on the fly. Ruby's technique's uniqueness is what would make it so deadly.
