Ash Williams’ Double-Barrel "Boomstick"

Origin
Regarded as one of the most popular characters in the horror genre, Ash Williams possesses no outstanding abilities. In fact, a chainsaw has replaced his severed right hand, he suffers from various age-related ailments and is most likely insane from countless encounters with the supernatural. Nonetheless, his arrogant demeanor, quick thinking ingenuity and catchy one-liners have cemented him as a horror icon.

Originally, Ash was a cowardly student who first attempted to run from the evil Deadites rather than face them. After spending several nights in a haunted cabin, Ash learned bravery – and chopped off his possessed hand. The franchise as a whole has seen Ash progress into a confident but callous and gloomy demon slayer, many times prioritizing his own life over responsibility. In subsequent outings, he began using his trusty "twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington, S-Mart's top of the line” to blast evil forces into smithereens.

Effects
Shooting at organic matter or animated objects, including other artifacts, will coagulate all the user’s petty emotions, such as pessimism and ignorance, into lethal projectiles. Any affected subject will rapidly decay until only an unwieldly skeletal structure remains. As the gun channels every negative aspect of the wielder, they become doused in their own dark introspection. Every action becomes selfish and crazed to the point of ostracization by society.
