I see where the issue is, you've formatted your weapons as individual posts which probably gave Takashi the impression they were other characters rather than your main character's weapons.

You may just want to use hiders or something and keep it all in one post, as they haven't made it from your CS deposit to the Ranked deposit, so for all intents and purposes your character wouldn't have the weapons if he was challenged.

Actually, I hadn't even realized he had made a separate post detailing anything. I was going off of what he posted in the characters section in this thread.

Yeah, if you read I explained that was the issue in the second paragraph. I tend to add thing as I realise them without bothering to remove the steps in my thinking process.

Because I'm lazy.

It's why I'm often wrong about things as well, I bring up almost everything from memory because I'm too lazy to go back and check shit.

Admits lazy. Rilla Alt theory confirmed.

It's difficult staying up all day and night to pretend to be someone from England and America, but it's worth it for the sweet sweet rank.

About that sword thing, what were you exactly asking? How to ICly get a sword or which kind of sword to use? :K

Which is why Skallagrim uses a long/war sword that has an over all length of 44 inches.

I've got plenty of swords that would be excellent on a high mobility high damage character like Fury. Namely the sword of the character I'm posting later tonight.

Mostly because I used to make more medieval characters than scifantasy

<Snipped quote by Skallagrim>

Ya, I had a feeling he was more a defensive type who relied on energy manipulation more than brute strength. Which is why I think of him as an Archer type more or less.

On a slightly related topic, I find the whole faster sword thing misleading, there is no such thing as a faster weapon than another kind. At least among swords. I mean, which is going to hit you first? The long-sword or the knife that has to cover more distance? (assuming equal tier speeds of course)

A good example is the Roman army, in which they primarily used short swords during their early conquesting years, while the latter days of the declining empire saw them start using longer bladed weapons when they ended up having to defend more often than not. Type and length of weapon has an interesting effect on the warriors mindset. It is also a nice way to reveal a bit about a characters personality through his weapon.

(Such as spear wielders often being cocky and into allot of showmanship)

(just some things to keep in mind when picking a sword or whatever. Fury with bladed Cestus would be scary)

<Snipped quote by GreivousKhan>

There probably is something to be said for the speed of the point of certain weapons though, which at the very least give them the illusion of speed. Which I believe is why spears are so deadly, because with very minimal body movement you can move the head of a spear a good distance incredibly quick.

Ultimately I suppose if there was one sword that outmatched every other in terms of speed in every circumstance there would only be one type of sword that survived the test of time, which is untrue.

Rapiers can outmatch most other swords in speed, being most dominant in the sphere they were used in. However, that isn't the only factor there is to wielding a sword, so that's why their effectiveness was only limited to unarmored duels.

EDIT: dunno why i posted this, since i'm sure you already knew that :p

<Snipped quote by Vordak>

I was under the impression that in their sphere of sword type Rapiers were one of the biggest and heaviest variants.
