Romanticism

"“Worlds end, memories fade, people die - but I think you and I are built to last.”"

Overview
The scout/sniper rifle hybrid wielded by Riptide which has the following unique perks: It also comes with the intrinsic benefits of a Lightweight Frame, has an RPM of 150, and can be masterworked to have the No Distractions perk.
 * The Partner in Crime - Bodyguard’s weapon of choice, a scout rifle that ‘links’ to one ally and becomes significantly stronger when they are surrounded or wounded, becoming more comparable to a sniper rifle.
 * The Duet Enemies damaged by Romanticism take more damage from melee and sword attacks, and vice versa.

The weapon has a few unique touches to it, such as an illustration of a crescent moon on the scope, and a scratched-on Dawnblade emblem on the magazine, symbolic of the wielder and her partner, respectively.

Lore
"Hey pumpkin, 

If you're wondering why I'm calling you pumpkin - well, shit, you actually might be Beatrice since I haven't started calling you that yet, but if you aren't her, put this thing down and back away slowly - unless you found it on a corpse, in which case, well, bring it to her, tell her I loved her, with all the love in my cold, bitter heart.

If none of the above are true...

Hey pumpkin.

''You've probably seen me use this gun a whole hell of a lot - pretty good shape for some Golden-Age longrifle, huh? I took good care of her - used to just take care of her. She didn't have a name back then, didn't have the scope, or the dual-fire mode mechanism, none of it. Basically, it was a different gun. So, you ask, why's she like this now?''

For you.

''I made her for you, to protect you. She's exactly the weapon I need to make sure you and I get to see all the tomorrows we wanna see. Reliable. Flexible. Damaged in the most gorgeous way imaginable. Sounds like angels singing, no matter what. Sound like someone you know?''

''Well, you're bad at taking compliments, so... what I'm saying is...''

It sounds like you."
