Concealed Weaponry

Kei Munakata is a hidden weapons specialist, who can hide dozens of weapons concealed within his clothing.

Background

Concealed Arsenal is the ability to store, deploy, and utilize hidden weaponry embedded within clothing, armor, accessories, or specialized suits. These hidden tools may include blades, firearms, projectiles, traps, gadgets, explosives, or mechanical extensions. The weapons are integrated so seamlessly into the user’s outfit that opponents cannot easily detect or anticipate them.

This ability allows users to maintain the appearance of being unarmed while possessing a full offensive or defensive loadout. Depending on the design of the outfit, the arsenal may be mechanical, technological, magical, or biologically integrated. Characters with this ability can launch ambush attacks, quickly adapt their fighting style, and surprise enemies with unpredictable weapon deployment.
