#a long-ass way to say that he has a magic-techy gun but yeah that's basically what this post is all about LOL

Okay so, I was re-reading my own character info pages--because I haven't looked at them in over a year and didn't want to misremember information about my own muse (lol)--and felt inspired enough to elaborate a little more (relative to what I did briefly mention on the history page) on why Giegue/Gregory has reassembled with less power and in turn, introduce one of the many pieces of tech that he has at his disposal.

Shorthand answer to the why, is that this ended up being part of the reassembly process itself in limbo and the last part of it involved confronting the manifestation of all his corruption whereby ultimately he decided to destroy it and as a result, destroyed the more immediate route of regaining his full set of powers as Giygas.

In a bit more depth, this corruption was an amalgamation of all his corrupted fragments that he could not reintegrate back into himself; the Giygas part of him. But, it wouldn't exactly fade away either if he did nothing. Left alone, it could eventually find its way back into reality like poison seeping through something awfully thing and wreak havoc on temporal-spatial level --warping, corrupting, and destroying until everything has effectively been eroded away to nothingness. So in the interest of fulfilling what he believes Maria would want for him to do (i.e be a good person basically), he only has two choices as leaving it be isn't an option to him: to absorb it back in anyways and deal with the fallout of that, full powers and form reinstated; or to destroy it.

But, the corruption amalgamation is his powers. Powers which, at this phase of his limbo-journey, he lacks as a result. And so, in terms of actual power? he's too weak to actually destroy it. But, he wants to do so and so, in a last resort kinda desperate action before the corruption amalgamation can swallow him up (a response to sensing his intent to destroy it), he starts to pray the same way that the people of Earth did when supporting the Chosen Ones in the fight against his Giygas form.

Now, what someone can achieve while praying can be influenced by psionic powers, but more so than anything else, it has a lot to do with feeling, willpower, and one's actual role within the greater cosmic scheme of things and thus impact upon its story. Giegue already had an important role as the villain to be defeated by the Chosen Ones in that particular subset of the greater story, but through his efforts to avoid being destroyed entirely--and achieving not just that, but briefly overturning it and thus, creating the future that Buzz Buzz ended up coming from--he effectively elevated his role to something far more. Fate was not his arbitrator anymore, but he was its arbitrator and as a result, the fate of the universe became almost exclusively centered around his choices and actions.

And so, at that point in time (but not after) literally anything he prays for could happen, no matter how absurd or nonsensical. In this case, his deepest wish was to have the ability to not just destroy the corruption amalgamation, but to have the power to destroy anything like it if it were to appear in the future so that others would never be endangered like that again. In turn, all that potential encapsulated by his extremely elevated importance in the cosmic scheme of things, condensed down and manifested in the form of a handgun, thin and a very pale silver in colour. One shot and down went the corruption amalgamation, completely nullified and destroyed by the specific type of bullet shot at the time.

By this very action, he should have finished reassembly without any of his powers at all, but amidst the fading remains of the corruption amalgamation, an unexpected bit of untainted power remerged from within it and reunited with him, in part due to his wish. Upon subsequently exiting limbo-space and properly manifesting back into lived reality, the gun came with him albeit reverted to a small ovoid rock-like structure pale blue in colour and twinkling like billions of stars, as if it were the cosmos itself. This 'core' would eventually be placed into a real-life version of the handgun from the limbo-space, constructed by Giegue (now known as 'Gregory') himself.

The resultant weapon is one which--due to the nature that which powers and strengthens it--possesses the following characteristics: only Gregory can utilize (it will be useless in anyone else's hands) it; the bullets fired cannot be stopped by PSI or any other energy-related sort of technique and rather need to be plainly dodged instead; the bullets mainly aim to cause varying levels of damage depending on what 'mode' Gregory sets them to and can change firing pattern from simple to more complex, depending on what he wants exactly; the gun can change format to accommodate different forms of combat and distances involved in its utilization; and it's a weapon that changes in accordance with its user's personal growth and emotional state and so, sometimes unexpected things can happen (or fail to happen) whenever he fires it.
