Hey! Ever wonder what those around you fight with? Or why? Well, read through this thread...then fill out your own profile!

BASIC INFO
Name: Realm: Unit:
WEAPON INFO
Primary Weapon/Combo: Why?: (List reasons like "Character story/roleplay, ease of use, just good at it," etc, and please explain!! I need details, please! How long you've been fighting with it, who introduced you to it, anything you can think of.)
Second Weapon/Combo: Why?:
Tertiary Weapon/Combo: (If you have one. If not, say none.) Why?: (If applicable.)
~~~
I'll even do the first one, as a model.

BASIC INFO
Name: Disraeli-Khan Realm: Dominion of the Unconquered Sun Unit: Harem of Irye
WEAPON INFO
Primary Weapon/Combo: Sword and Board: Kite shield and blue Why?: This is my primary for its ease of use. I tend towards defense when I fight, and this allows me to stay safe behind a shield as big as my body while still offering the mobility that a tower shield would take away from someone as short as me. Skeith introduced me to this style when I first joined Dagorhir.
Second Weapon/Combo: Spear Why?: I love the range of a spear. It allows me to take shots that I am not brave/stupid enough to get close enough to take. The best thing, I find, about a spear is that I can be paired with almost anyone (archers excepted) and run the field, or I can go by myself and still be effective.
Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Archery: Recurve bow and arrows Why?: Good for range, good for hard shots. I find that this is a style universally wanted and loved. Every team leader needs a good archer for those shots on the BAMFs on the field. Plus, in my favorite type of battle (Bridge/River), being an archer and loosing an arrow is like shooting catfish in a barrel--you're bound to hit someone.

BASIC INFO
Name:Page Kriggud Realm:Dominion Unit:N/A
WEAPON INFO
Primary Weapon/Combo: Curved shotel and small punch. Because it is a valid weapon combo, the shotel is based in history, and the small punch is modeled off of a Palmula, which was a small shield used by gladiators. Part of my Character story is being sent to fighting pits across the narrow sea, and so it is fitting.
Second Weapon/Combo: Red sword and buckler. Reds can be powerhouses if only people would use them appropriately. stay alive as long as you can, the once death is inevitable, take as many of them with you as you can.
Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Blue axe and punch shield. It allows me to get in close and really eat face. it is also good to hooking shields and keeping those pesky flails out of my way.

WEAPON INFO
Primary Weapon/Combo: Medium blue sword/medium sized arrowhead shaped shield. Prefered combo for large battles. the unnusual shape of shield allows for some unorthadox shots. Blue sword for simplicity of use.
Second Weapon/Combo: 3 1/2ft or 4 1/2ft dori and buckler. (sword on a stick or teeny tiny glaive) Allows ofr some really nasty block and strike shots. Makes use of haft blocks and sudden striking. Also good for rushing in on pole arms.
Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Everything else. Seriously, I love switching up.

Filling this out because my husband wouldn't know my weapon combos if they hit him in the face (again) BASIC INFO Name: Krystal Realm: Dominion Unit: Myrkridian Infantry WEAPON INFO Primary Weapon/Combo: Sword and Heater Shield Why?: It's the unit standard, plus I've fought sword/board for three years - and is one of my most comfortable combinations. I feel very confident both going balls to the wall offense - as well as buckling down defensively, both of which I can accomplish with this combination. Second Weapon/Combo: Archery Why?: This is primarily for characterization, but has it's bonuses with my degenerating knee (which makes running/front lining both difficult and painful). I have begun to thoroughly enjoy this fighting style, and the demand for archers makes it even more attractive as I'm a good enough fighter with my primary combination, but being a girl with a shield gets overlooked by the less informed Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Glaive (Red/Green) Why?: This is the weapon I started out fighting with, and was the first style I built - so I feel a bond with it. Got turned off of it by some jerks at Rag XX - but have taken back to it with a firm "I'm gonna bash your shield into your face and stab your nutsack" mentality. Rawr.

BASIC INFO
Name: Sir Zan Realm: Centrawoven Unit: Army of Mordor
WEAPON INFO
Primary Weapon/Combo: Short blue and medium round shield Why?: Pretty much the only successful offence against wimps who use shields the size of a barn door that works for me.
Second Weapon/Combo: Florentine medium blue Why?: First combo I learned to use, ages ago. Simple attack-defend-attack technique.
Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Single javalin Why?: Ease of blocking, due to the light weight and easy movement. Also, throwing is a piece of cake, and double greens = win.

name: Morals Relm:Centrawoven Unit: N/A for now
primary weapon/combo: short single blue well this came about because it is the only weapon that i realy had the chance to learn befor i left the centrawoven vally. i have ok skill with this weapon because people generaly underestamate my range.
secondary weapon/combo: qurterstaff or quetip for the most part this has always been my favorit weapon i used it before i joined the dag battle games to grate avail. my main problem is that to make a passing staff it has to be padded down in such away that i cant use some of my more usefull attacks. but used well this is still a good weapon for pick up battles with few shields.
tertary weapon/combo: twin blue/green clubs this came about from my first staff being failed at a weapons check so i cut it in two and made 2 clubs out of it i thought that i should modify the weapon insted of tareing it apart compleatly. i have found that using my sword styles with clubs is very fun because i dont have to think about blade flats.

WEAPON INFO [all combos i have a short blue sheathed on my back] Primary Weapon/Combo:long blue . rectangle punch shield and javvie behind shield Why?: 1.my flail broke and i'm too lazy to make one again.2.a 45inch blue at exactly 12 ounces with a shield is so much fun to bash people with.3.i'm more effective than average at using longer weapons and a javvie is just fun
Second Weapon/Combo:flail and punch shield Why?: 1.i'm the only one at my field who has/had one and i use it to help provide training for the newer members how to fight an aggressive flailer.2. i'm lazy
Tertiary Weapon/Combo: short blue behind strap shield and archery Why?: 1. its a combo that i'm effective with and gets a second look when on the field.2. my tertiary combo used to be red but i hurt too many people so i quit red mostly.3. even though its a lot more work its so much fun to arch people then run in and shield bash their teammates

Name: Rhoan Jenson Realm: Centrawoven Unit: The Pack
WEAPON INFO
Primary Weapon/Combo: Red and board w/javie behind shield Why?: I caught on pretty quickly with sword and board and I've always been a natural red fighter so the reach is handy and if someone breaks my shield I still have a very effective weapon combo once I throw the javie, which I'm ok with. I wuz introduced to reds when someone told me about the different types of weapons and I knew that two handers would be my kind of weapon
Second Weapon/Combo: blue/green and board with javie Why?: basically same reason as red and board, except the blue/green lets me move faster and makes me more manuverable.
Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Archery: left or right handed recurves Why?: I've found that I'm a very good archer with either right hand or left hand bows and all I need is practice and my own bow and I'm gonna head to the field full time with it, even if I have to carry it behind my shield but I don't see that happening.
