As for the whole bustersword deal, I'd like to keep this rp from becoming too much like an anime. I always disliked the bustersword for various reasons, mostly because it was way too huge to even use. A larger than average greatsword which the Kuri can use better because of their four arms is absolutely fine but having it be like 40 kilograms is just a no. Hell, the kuri are probably just above average when it comes to overall strength compared to humans.
As for the Zweihander being used by vikings, hell no. The vikings barely used that thing due to the warfare they made which would make the zweihander useless. If they ever used a sword, they sought after teh Ulfbehrt which puts the Katana to shame.
The pic that Manofthenorth linked looks more like a poleaxe tha a halberd which was a mix of an axe, pike and a hook. Deadly weapon when wielded by a team of swiss mercs.
As for sword vs axe...THE WARHAMMER!!! MAkes armor useless as it bashes and pierces with either end.
Anyways, Dazed. your character is accepted as long as you change the greatsword to a more regular one over a bustersword due the reasons I just said first in this post.
And to those who are waiting on certain people that haven't posted at all in the OOC since they got a character up or something, just leave that character behind. I am really starting to hate unresponsive and silent drop outs that even if it's unintentional, it's annoying as hell when they can't even post a sentence saying that they are going to be away for a while.
