Trademark Weapon: A trademark weapon may be purchased by certain characters to use in battle. This weapon is crafted just for that character. For example, if you're Batman, you're going to want a handy, dandy Bat-a-rang. You're Spider-Man? How about some handy dandy web shooters? If your character has some goods that are special to them, like a Daredevil Billy Club or Wonder Woman's Lasso, then this is for you.
Trademark Weapons are a great way to inflict severe damage on your opponent. By purchasing a weapon at 10 Dollars apiece, you can build quite an arsenal, but that's not where the damage and experience comes from. Say you purchase a Samurai Sword for 20 Dollars (Level 2 Samurai Sword). That sword is going to do +2 damage when your Primary Special is rolled. Now let's say you purchased a Samurai Sword at 200 Dollars (Level 20 Samurai Sword). That Samurai Sword is going to inflict +20 damage to your opponent, and if you're already hitting at a 10 damage Combat level, then that is going to be 30 damage in one incredible blow! You may purchase an item at any price you wish and the damage it will do goes up accordingly. For those of you who are confused, here is an example:
$10 Dual 45s- +1 Damage; Level 1 Dual 45s
$20 Dual 45s- +2 Damage; Level 2 Dual 45s
$30 Dual 45s- +3 Damage; Level 3 Dual 45s
$40 Dual 45s- +4 Damage; Level 4 Dual 45s
$50 Dual 45s- +5 Damage; Level 5 Dual 45s
So hopefully, you get the picture. The higher the price, the higher the damage and skill level your weapon will be. You may purchase any weapon below for as low as 10 Dollars, and as high as 250 SD Dollars, bringing the maximum weapon Level to 25. Another great thing about this weapon system is that you can ALWAYS upgrade your weapon. Say you buy a Laser Gun for 10 SD Dollars. See, its only doing +1 damage. Now say you get some more money down the road that you feel like spending, say you earn 60 Dollars. You can pump 60 Dollars into your Laser Gun, upgrading your weapon to a Level 7 Laser Gun! So 10 Dollars=Upgrade 1 Level.
Standard Weapons
These weapons can effect each and every hit your character makes in battle. If you purchase a +2 weapon, then you get +2 damage to every hit you make. This does not include your specials. So if you have 31 Combat and have a +3 weapon, then you would do 7 damage with every hit!
You may only buy 2 of these weapons. Their bonuses do stack. You may call these weapons anything you wish that relates to your character. Punisher can have a +2 Rifle, while Wonder Woman can have a +4 Lasso. Even if you character doesn't use weapons, you can purchase a +3 Fist or +3 Claws.
You may upgrade these weapons any time you wish to a maximum of +5 by paying the difference. If you already have a +1 weapon, you may pay 50 more dollars to upgrade it to a +2 weapon. If you have a +4 weapon, you can spend 125 dollars to upgrade that to a +5.
50 Dollars: +1 Weapon
100 Dollars: +2 Weapon
200 Dollars: +3 Weapon
325 Dollars: +4 Weapon
450 Dollars: +5 Weapon

Rules of the Vault
-All purchases are made with money earned through Battles, Roleplays, RP of the Week, or on the whim of the moderators.
-All items will take effect upon purchase or in the very next battle participated in unless stated otherwise.
-Item purchase transactions must be completed before stats are done on Thursday Night to be eligible for use in that fight.
***Very Important***
-If buying a certain item does not fit your character, then do not buy it. That would be going out of character and would make it quite lame. For example, Spider-Man wouldn't be driving around in a tank and Superman would not be using a Sentinel. Without further ado, let the shopping begin.
