I'm just thinking of whether to have my character begin at the academy or already be at it. I mean, it would be nice to already be there and kinda know the characters, on the other hand. I cannot think for my life a weapon that fits with a scythe

Functionality wise, scythes actually aren't that proficient in the battlefield - or the scythes that people typically think of (the huge, giant ones that you swing around)

But, what's better is probably kamas, which are sickles (close-range scythes which are much better to use in compat) connected together with a chain.

But, whatever floats your boat.
