Gun Bunny-type character

[Vad]

I've been working on stuff for a character I'd like to play, one who focuses on melee and ranged weaponry to fight. While looking through the abilities, I didn't really see anything that deals with that specifically. I was hoping I could put forward a custom ability or two to help with this. Nothing overpowered, and subject to approval, but it would be nice to be able to have an ability thatr compliments the character. Also, I was wondering if I would need Elemental Ki-Fire to have a flamethrower, or Elemental Ki-Lightning for a tazer. I wouldn't think so, since using an elemental weapon would be pretty much inferior to any ki-based attack with an element, and my capabilities with it would be much more limited. Lastly, for ranged weapons, would I be required to take Ki Control as a technique? Or would the cost of it's projectile be included in the technique cost?

I know I'm asking a lot, and I apoligize for the inconvience. I can definitely understand if my line of questioning leads to a disappointing answer for me. I'm just asking so I know my options as I build. Thanks for your help!

You're free to suggest anything. As for using Elemental Ki: Fire as a flamethrower? You can. Same goes for your question about Elemental Ki: Lightning. One thing to note though is that you're not just directly controlling fire. The fire you create, for example, is your character turning his Ki into flame. So your assumption that an Elemental based weapon would be inherently worse than a Ki attack is incorrect. At a base level they're equal.

We haven't made a system where physical projectiles (like bullets) create damage (not officially anyway). The closest thing is the KI Rifle. HOWEVER! People have been able to use certain abilities to do things like use guns in a fight. Alexander Trafford uses Psychokinesis to imbue his shots with energy. My character shoots crossbow bolts using Metal Binding. Simone has an entire sniper rifle made from Ki using Ki Specialization.

Ki Control would be required to make any such custom technique that used Ki as a projectile. (Simone's Sniper Rifle)

As for your last paragraph. It's no problem. I live to serve. If I missed anything or if something isn't clear (I tend to think up an answer and flop on typing it out correctly) let me know and I can clarify.
