Scorpion

"A lightweight blade speed-oriented Attackers often use: The Scorpion."

- Shiori Usami about the Scorpion

The Scorpion (スコーピオン) is a Normal Trigger that was created by Yūichi Jin to be Kogetsu's rival.

Description
The Scorpion is an bright yellow edged weapon that appears as a dagger of sorts. It can be shapeshifted at will. There are many variants in the default shape: Jin and Kuga use a single-edged Scorpion, the members of Kazama Unit wield Scorpions with a hollowed blade and Ai Kitora a version that has a blade at both ends of the handle.

Overview
Of the three Attacker Triggers currently available to all Border agents, the Scorpion was the second to be created. The Scorpion was developed by Jin together with Border's engineers when he realized he would not be able to win against Tachikawa with the Kogetsu.

Abilities
The Scorpion has an offensive power comparable to the Kogetsu, but much lower durability, which causes it to crack and break if the two clash multiple times. It is capable of shapeshifting and its ability to change is determined by the user's own skills and trion level. Someone with high trion level (i.e. Chika) would be able to use it like a fullbody armor. Kageura and Kuga, the latter to a lesser extent, have demonstrated the ability to mould, extend and contract Scorpion quickly much like a whip, and so are capable of using effectively in mid-range combat as well. Depending on the type, its abilities can differ slightly. The standard version is focused on balance, while Kazama Unit's is more focused on offense. Kitora's Scorpion is customized, having a double edge and the ability to spin around the center.
