TF-Gun

A gun made famous in the webcomic series; El-Goonish Shive, the Transformation Gun, or 'TF-Gun' for short, has the ability to, not only make a person turn into the other gender, but is also capable of turning people into humanoid animals. One of the more vivid uses of the TF-Gun within the PPC was by Agent Arti, of the Department of Mary-Sues; Video Gaming Division. At one point he was driven so insane by a story that he found a TF-Gun within the PPC and promptly began shooting random Agents with Variation #5. Due to the recent invasion by Mary-Sues, the Flowers were not amused, and Agent Arti was sent to Fictional Psychology for a short period of time.

Creation
The TF-Gun was created by a highly intelligent boy called Tedd, using technology and information pilfered from his father, who is a high-levelled Government official with access to sensitive information and even more sensitive alien technnology. Tedd frequently cannibalises this alien tech to his own purposes, which led to the creation of his glasses, the ability to clone and create hybrid animals, and, of course, the Transformation Gun. The Transformation Gun is frequently used throughout the webcomic series of El-Goonish Shive to change, for example, males into female counterparts, and vice versa. At one stage the TF-Gun malfunctioned, turning one of the male characters into a female without any means of changing back. However, it was soon repaired by Tedd, and has seen frequent use, most recently in a birthday party where the theme was to stay as the opposite gender for the duration of the party.

Variations
Overall, the TF-Gun has a total of five different variations which can spark off different changes within those hit by the beam. As these variations have been pre-programmed into the guns, only highly untelligent Agents should attempt to change the variations, while those who are simply amused by the shiny laser should not attempt to interact with the TF-Gun at all. This is a Very Bad Idea. It should be noted that any changes to Variation #1 would affect all of the variations. It should be noted that, while victims hit by the TF-Gun laser will have the opposite sex's biology, they would be unable to become pregnant or make someone pregnant. It would require staying in that form for roughly a month before the body would adapt and become capable of such things.
 * Variation #1: The primary variation, this form only switches the sex of the perosn it hits, and does not do anything else. The height, hair and overall look of the person would remain the same, while their figure would be dependant on their own biology.
 * Variation #2-#4: Similar to the above variation, however, these are frequently customised by the user of the Gun. Things changed may be height, hair, physical biology, and can even turn the victim into an animal / humanoid hybrid.
 * Variation #5: Possibly the most feared Variation among the PPC, Variation #5 essentially turns the Agents into the thing they fear most; the Mary-Sue. This Variation renders anyone hit with it into a very attractive woman, with a very curvy figure. In addition, it also affects the height of the victim, resulting in anyone shot by this Variation being the same height as other such victims. It makes the hair grow much longer, and the victim will also give off pheremones that attract anyone in the vicinity, regardless of their gender or usual orientation, unless they are a blood relative of the zappee.

PPC Usage
While it has not had much usage by the PPC, other than by Agent Arti, the TF-Gun could theoretically be used to undo spontaneous sex changes caused by Suethors in Canon Characters, as well as a punishment for the 'Sues by making them self-implode upon realisation that they are not attractive anymore once shot with the gun.
 * The usage of the TF-Gun is also prohibited when used on other Agents, as shown by Rule #467 of the 'Things I am not Allowed to Do at the PPC', Part Seven.
 * Agent Arti once used this gun in a similar way to going flamethrower crazy, instead, zapping many Agents with Variation #5. Due to the confusion and traumatisation caused by the Mary-Sue Invasion of 2008, this was not welcomed by the Flowers, nor the Agents who took part in the Invasion. Many flashbacks were created that day, with Agent Arti being sentenced to a short stay in Fictional Psychology. His TF-Gun was confiscated and used to turn all transformed Agents back, while a security force of Minis was issued to restrain Agent Luxury.
