Customizable at your leisure
• Name: Xun'Thra

• Gender: Male

• Age: Young Adult

• Race: Kuri

• Appearance:

Body Frame

Clothing

• Gear & Possessions: One massive 2-hand great-sword, Two 1-handed swords

• Skills & Abilities: Proficiency with Great-sword and dual 1-handed swords, Combat using his four arms, (Notable lack of agility, speed and grace.)

Silk: As A Kuri he has the natural ability to create and weave A special type of Silk. He is proficient in making armor and such out of it, despite how much he is actually seen using it.

Acidic Bite: Being A Kuri, Xun'Thra has the racial ability of Acidic bite. Using this Acid in his bite is voluntary and obviously he holds immunity to it. (If Kuri hold Immunity to each other's acid? Is a good question.) Due to the sheer pain and misery this Acid causes, he uses it rather little.

• Personality: At first Xun'Thra is A quiet guy, showing to be reclusive and stern the little times he chooses to speak. Proving time and time again he is a man of little words, but not little to say. As you get to know him more, you see the more kind and hospitality side of this Kuri.

• History: Xun'Thra is An odd spectacle, showing to be unlike all others of his race. Though his life holds a lot of traveling. Xun'Thra could nowhere near be considered apart of a caravan. His desire is more then just weaving silk into beautiful pieces of armor or into various other things like his ancestors. Wanting to display the might and ferocity of the Kuri to the world of Astas.

This spark of fury was not always present in the life of Xun'Thra. He became more outspoken and battle hungry the day after he met A very close friend of his. During A chain of events that went utterly wrong, Xun'Thra crossed paths with someone who ended up saving his life. This individual inspired Xun'Thra to be more self efficient and powerful as an being. Thus casting out his previous passive lifestyle and throwing himself into more dangerous callings.

A longsword is already an optional two handed weapon and how massive is the greatsword?

Otherwise it lookgs good.

[Dazed]

Changed his one handed longswords to just two 1-handed swords. (Big enough to be considered a long-sword sword to an average human.)

And for his great-sword? I figured it would just be heavy enough were it would be troublesome for the average human to use it. Though due to his natural strength he can weild it just fine. (Same goes with the swords, A human would use his 1-hand weapon, as A one or two handed bastard sword.)

If this is an issue i can make them ordinary. It was more to insinuate his natural strength then anything. While explaining how effectively the average human could use his weapons if obtained.

[WitchChild]

A regular greatsword only weighs like 3-4 kilograms. If you make things really heavy, it is no longer needed for slashing and becomes more effective bashing weapon. People always seem to think swords are heavy while they were pretty relatively light. Hell, a greatsword was even as tall as an average person.

[Dazed]

The big great-sword, can be meant for a more bashing and smashing weapon. Rather then a precise slasher. That's why I wanted him to have two one-handed swords. So his one-hand swords would be more for precise slashing.

How does that sound?

[WitchChild]

The great sword was more used to fend of pikemen and such yet still be a slicing weapon. It could be bigger than the regular longsword, sure. Just pointing out the misconception that greatswords were very very heavy.

[ManoftheNorth]

The most common "Great Sword" was actually the Claymore, and if you know anything of history, there were no "large great swords." The Great Sword, as Witch has said, was used to fend of Pikeman, but was also used for horse back. The Claymore, and all other Great Swords, are actually built specifically for precision, that is why they are built so long, yet relatively light. They were designed to be a sword for slashing in large sweeps and piercing at a deadly close-inner medium range. On horseback they were used to stab their opponents from behind in the weaker folds of their armor and then they would swing the blade in slashing motions to stir the crowd and break-up a defense.

[ShadowD]

He wants a buster sword (easiest way to say big greatsword meant for bashing) Cloud's ridiculously huge sword basically.

[Lucius Cypher]

Oi, where have you been, ManoftheNorth?

[ManoftheNorth]

@Shadow.... I know.. and I hate ot say this...but that kills me... I hate stereotypes, bandwagon notions, and ridiculously over-done plagiarisms

@Lucious, I have been dealing with a grand party of bullshit, fighting, family matters, suicidal tendencies, and depression. XD But, as the cherry, jolly fat man I am, I am back with a full gut and a big smile to rp.

I think that was more of an example, though to be honest that's... Sort of what Vera uses her sword for. not quite as freakishly large, but the intention and use is the same. Cept glowing. But yeah, life likes to shit wherever if wants. I'd like to say something to help you out, but I'm just some dude on the internet. Though I am glad that you're back anyways. Need an update on what's been going on?

[ManoftheNorth]

Nah, I am going to read through the majority of it tonight, then post tonight as well, hopefully.

[ShadowD]

I wasn't condoning it bud, I tend to rp guys with Zweihanders myself if I ever go greatsword, which I really never do, normally hand and a half swords, slightly longer longswords with a two handed grip.

[ManoftheNorth]

For me, a Zweihander is only really acceptable in a few situations.

-1)Anime-The least of my favorite uses.
-2)Norse Men, or Northmen(Vikings)
-3)Fantasy genres such as The Elder Scrolls, and etc. As they have Norse-parrallel races/religions.

[Lucius Cypher]

Not had much taste for Zwei's. They're cool, but they're just not for me. Personally, I like how they used great swords like in Berserk. Give em to huge muscly men (Or women) and start cleaving through sheer force rather than the sharpness of the blade, though it helps. Though I've always been more of an Axe guy myself, but there aren't many cool pictures of heavy armored knights with giant axes that don't look like giant golems or robots.

[ManoftheNorth]

Indeed, I personally love all manner of weapons, but I might have be "that guy" sounds like a copy cat, because I love Axes. I think my love for axes comes from my love of aesthetic though.

I have always loved, and will always favor the: Beastmaster, Ranger, Hunter, Primal caste of classes and characters. It is one reason I love Lycans so much.

Oh, btw, here is an image I found you. ^^
