Name: KyriakosSpecies: Hylian (?)Specific Description: Short white hair reaching her shoulders that contrasts her youthful appearance, purple irises, stands at 5'6'', pointed ears, thin but athletic. Her skin is fairer then most Hylians', but it's not a ghastly pale that would make others question her health and well-being. Typical Species Abilities: As mentioned before, Hylians are good with martial combat, and magic. However Kyriakos is more on the magical side then she is a martial combat. She can wield daggers, staves, or bows and arrows, if necessary, but she can't wield swords, axes, hammers, or any other heavy weapons.Personal Skills: As mentioned before, Kyriakos is good with magic. In Castle Town, she is the town's healer, using her magic to heal wounds and other maladies. She is a quick study so she can also quickly learn to use defensive or offensive spells if necessary. Starting Equipment: A dagger, a staff, a spell book, a pouch filled with 150 rupees, and three red potions.Home: Castle Town Backstory: When Kyriakos was an infant, she was found by the citizens of Castle Town. Nobody knew where she came from or who her parents were. All anybody could tell was that Kyriakos was abandoned, with only a medallion with a strange symbol on it that served as a clue. She was taken in by a kind woodcutter and his wife, and she grew up in their care. During that time, the town and she learned that she was much more in tune with magic then any other. She soon became an apprentice to the last healer of Castle Town, and she learned much of how to heal others. Of course, the healer was old, and passed away long after he taught her everything she knew.Now she lives her life in Castle Town as the town healer, doing whatever she can to help others should they need her assistance. Current Location: Castle Town((Hope I'm not too late))

, honest.Also, quoting will cut-out link-text, try copy-pasting raw post-content into the quotebox (over the garble) if it seems to lose context.


It's a wazikashi... the term refers to any accompaniment blade in that style... so not quite a knife... just a short wazikashi... Also, I'm aware of the text system, I'm just dont feel its worth the extra five steps to add it. You know what you said, and its right above me anyways... I'm just quotiing to tell you who im talking to. I'll seperate your post out into pieces if im responding to certain things though, just for clarity.

, carrying any blade longer than arm's length on your back relegates them to storage-only until the sheath is completely de-mounted from the back.This applies to all back-mounted 2-handed swords (and gun mounted on your back). Good place to stow them on the march or run since it keeps it from getting entangled with your legs and gives your arms a rest (which is pretty important since your arm-stamina equals bullets in an ye-olde-days swordfight). Terrible place to have it when you desperately need to get something sharp in front of you (hence the prevalence of daggers or 'sidearms').Meanwhile, de-shouldering a pike... doesn't take very long at all, does it?


Actually I have a bit (several years) of sword training. While this does apply to straight blades and blades with larger tips than hilts (such as a scimitar), a katana or dai wazikashi is designed with an evenly curved and completely even blade. What this does is it makes it so that you can draw the blade with more speed and momentum in your wrist. While it is better for a speed draw to go from the hip, if you need alot of force its good to use the strength your shoulders and back provide by drawing from the non-dominant shoulder. This is why the scabbard for a katana is so loose fitting on the lanyard, and why there are accompanying wazikashi and tanto (which is technically just a name for a short wazikashi) so that if I need some steel in front of me discreetly or quickly its there when I need it, and when I need a strong first attack regardless of speed of the draw, I have that too. Admittably most would rather have the wazikashi on their back over the katana, but I prefer to have the katana on my back since most people don't know jack about using a sword, and if I come across someone who does, I have the wazikashi and can hold my own with it until the Dai-katana is drawable.
Thank you for commenting on that! It's nice to know someone has an appreciation for good sword strategy! ^^
oh hey! for future reference, I am carrying three swords.... A tanto, a wazikashi, and a katana. They're part of a set. The katana is strapped diagonally across my back and the two accompanying blades are on my hip.

Also i get a seriously bad chill reading the anderson CS. Dunno why, but I do @n@

You wake up to the blue light of a very excited fairy...
"I've found you I've found you I've found you!"
The fairy bounces around in the air perhaps a little too happily for this early in the morning...
