Gonna hold onto this

Typical User: silm, male or female, good aerobic fitness

Main action: thrust, pierce, stab

Main motion: horizontal with the tip forward

Shape: straight, often thin, may be lightweight

Typical Injury: seeping blood, blood stains spreading

Strategy: target gaps in the armous, pierce a vital organ

Disadvantage: cannot slice through bone or armour

Examples: foil, epee, rapier, gladius

The Cleaving Sword

Type of fight scene: gritty, brutal, battles, cutting through armour

Typical user: tall brawny male with broad shulders and bulging biceps

Mostly used in: Medieval Europe

Main action: cleave, hack, chop, cut, split

Main motion: downwards

Shape: broad, straight, heavy, solid, sometime huge, sometimes need to be held in both hands, both sides sharpened

Typical Injury: severed large limbs

Strategy: hack off a leg, them decapitate; or split the skull

Disadvantage: too big to carry concealed, too heavy to carry in daily lifem too slow to draw for spontaneous action

Examples: Medieval greatsword, Scottish claymore, machete, falchion

The Slashing Sword

Type of fight scene: gritty or entertaining, executions, cavalry charge, on board a ship

Mostly used in: Asia, Middle East

Typical user: male (female is plausible), any body shape, Arab, Asian, mounted warrior, cavalryman, sailor, pirate

Main action: slash, cut, slice

Main motion: fluid, continuous, curving, eg.figure-eight

Shape: curved, often slender, extremely sharp on the outer edge

Typical Injury: severed limbs, lots of spurting blood

Strategy: first disable opponent's sword hand (cut it off or slice into tendons inside the elbow)

Disadvantage: unable to cut thorugh hard objects (e.g. metal armor)

Examples: scimitar, sabre, saif, shamshir, cutlass, katana

Blunders to Avoid:

Weapons performing what they shouldn't be able to do (e.g. a foil slashing metal armour)

Protagonists fighting with weapons for which they don't have the strength or build to handle

The hero carrying a huge sword all the time as if it's a wallet

Drawing a big sword form a sheath on the back (a physical impossiblity, unless your hero is a giant...)

Generic sword which can slash, stab, cleave, slash, block, pierce, thrust, whirl through the air, cut a few limbs, etc...as if that's plausible

On the topic of Ares being the Warrior:

Our life and death are one, we two.

hell yeah

Well put. (Source: Writing About Writing Facebook page)

Although already quite amazing, Kaiser Impact Magnus is still imperfect. Kaiser can also only do it with a static ball and not a moving one. And even with the static one, Loki was able to easily shut it down.

Kaiser has a lot to go.

And I’m racking my head trying to figure out how he can get stronger when his aim (love) and means (malice/restriction) do not align. Love is supposed to be freeing, and malice can never yield love.

He knows this.

He knows that love = freedom.

He knows this, and yet

...he rejects it.

By yearning for love while forging ahead with malice, he dooms himself to never actually reach love. And he does this on purpose, all for the sake of creating a restrictive environment where he, allegedly, is stronger.

Does it have to be like this?

Is there really no other way for him to grow while allowing love into his life?

...And is Kaiser actually stronger without love? Is restriction truly the answer?

Much to think about.

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

How would yall feel about tuc homebrew stuff?

Anyone else just realise that Miguel's suit is a projection because he's trying to project his ideas about how things like the Canon and Spider-people are meant to be?

So there's this rat, and his name is Ripred
