Name : Akuma Realm : Dominion Unit : Arcani
Primary Weapon Set : One sword - left hand. I think I might incorporate a green for added security. Why? I want to challenge myself. Do I die a lot? Yes. Is it fun? Oh hell yes.
Secondary Set : A bag of rocks and a cup of water
Tertiary Set : 48" Two handed Long w/ a 36" blade. Why? I'm formally trained 7 yrs 3rd Kyu Kenjutsu (this style is good for Dag) and 13yrs 2nd Dan Iaido ( this style is not so good for Dag) - I use a sword designed to meet the minimum Dag Red lengths for tradition Shanai lengths are much shorter - it requires twice the work to do damage against a sword & board if I used the traditional 32"-36" lengths on the Dag fields.

BASIC INFO Name: Cyodie Centrawoven (yesw my name is as the Realms! it was named AFTER me!) Realm: Centrawoven Unit: AoM WEAPON INFO Primary Weapon/Combo: Short Blue with large Punch sheild Why?: This is the first weapon set i actually got good with. Small movements means large area to block and slamming someone witht eh sheild and using the speed of a short blue makes for an interesting fight. Plus when i use anything heavy (like weighted) i end up breaking the weapon and or the person. so i like to use my "Mini-Choppa" gotta love those wrap shots! lesse i have been fighting with this weapon combo for almost 4 years. except when my sheild broke last Gates was it? and i finally fixed it., recently. I was introduced to it by shadus, who helped me build the sheild i use today! Second Weapon/Combo:Long blue/short blue with small coffin-shaped (SMALL!) punch sheild. See pic at bottom. Why?:This weapon combo i started using a while back, then had to use it full time because my sheild broke, (see above). so i got really good with it in a short amount of time. Its only easy to use if you learn to read your opponents moves and are already in motion to intercept the attack, and having a long sword makes for ease of hitting when receiving. However, this weapon combo has gained a lot of respect from myself and others because of the amount of movement one must put into it. and the fact that its so much fun to be that free to swing with the sword. XD Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Spear (sometimes Glaive) Why?: Everyone knows that spears get a big portion of the kills on the feild. and in a lorge battle they are the key to killing! This was my very first weapon i ever used, and i (apperently) did quite well with it, i have fought spear to spear, and spear to sword, and won much of the time. I'm not saying i'm the best or even better than most, just that i have an affinitty to the use of a spear. (and or glaive) Yeah, yeah, yall have seen these before, many times, but hey, I like them!

Name: Kurai D'elacroix Realm : Centrawoven (Currently visiting Alterra) Unit : Army of Mordor
Primary Weapon: 27" Diameter Round Shield and 28" Blue Why? I had wanted to pick up a shield that I actually had to work with to use, not something like a tower sheild that I could just turtle up behind. Been using this combo since Ragnarok XXIII and I've been learning a lot very quickly. I flail a little occasinally, but I'm working on finding my flow.
Secondary Set: Red Why? It's what I started with. I walked in on my first battle, grabbed the biggest sword i could find and started killing. I did well, too. Won my very first Kill your Killer. But red was a staple for me for a while. I'm not the best but I'll say I'm pretty damn good.
Tertiary Set: Dual Blue Why? Had to resort to this at all my events until Ragnarok XXIII because none of my stuff would pass besides a couple of blues. Wasn't confident enough to hit the field with just one sword so I doubled up and been doing it a lot. tl;dr: Florentine for necessity

BASIC INFO Name: Mirelle Realm: Tartarus Invictus Unit: Narnia WEAPON INFO Primary Weapon/Combo: Large round shield and medium blue sword. Why?:All Narnians are encouraged to try sword and board first, then other style as they come along. I liked it so much I didn't feel the need to move to another Primary style. I've been fighting sword and board about three years now. Second Weapon/Combo: Red and small round buckler Why?: I've always wanted to get the rush of the front line shield braking, still very new at this but I'm getting there. Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Javalin with Basket of Rocks Why?: I actually started with this style, fought this way for two years, I had a kidney translplant and was very hesitant about going heavy fighter. Then I went to Rag 22 and realized I couldn't sit in the back anymore. Me on the Front line at rag, sword and board.

BASIC INFO
Name:Lord Mortalis Kilgore Realm:Lyonesse Unit:Dorchadas
WEAPON INFO
Primary Weapon/Combo:Round Shield and Axe Why?: My round shield is pretty light so I have go movement and defense with it. I use an ax because it has a natural way with wrap shots. I love to get in lines faces and pressure or bash them and this combo helps me feel confident to do so.
Second Weapon/Combo:Dragon Spine(light curved red sword) and Buckler Why?:with the Spine curves and lightness I can do some pretty unusual shots some fighters don't see from other red fighters and I like the balance of the Buckler to give me some good D
Tertiary Weapon/Combo: Florentine Axes Why?: this is the combo is first set foot on the field with in Dagohir. I am kind of drawn to it. I don't think I have ever went any where in Dag without a set of axes.

#1: sword and board, medium sized kite/teardrop hybrid and either a sword or a flail, i usually carry one of each. versatility. I can do just about anything with this combo. Sword for when I want to challenge myself, flail for killing people fast.
#2: Archery (32 or 33# recurve) I've been shooting bows since I was 5, I'm damn good about it. When I really just want to kill a lot of people, I pick up a bow.
#3: Red (52", 28 oz) It's a ton of fun, and I'm pretty decent and getting better at it. With all of my armor on, I actually become a force to be reconed with. Just need to modify one of my punch shields to make it work as a back shield.

Post by Szabo Erinach on Feb 19, 2009 3:14:19 GMT -5
Name: Szabo Erinach Realm: Alterra Unit: Legion I
Primary: Mouth.
I love fighting but feel like I end up heralding/ running practices more than anything else. Someone always needs something, right?
Secondary: Spear
I feel like I'm decent in Spear and really enjoy the feel of it. There are few deaths more distinct than a double green. The wielder can really feel it. Watching an unsuspecting line drop also entertains me.
Tertiary: Red
I also love Red because I feel that it is a very primal fighting style. Granted, it's much more fun during duels than in mass combat, but all the same useful. Plus dying is no big deal if you are a red!
Quaternary: Sword and Board
I'm new to it and extremely mediocre ATM. Hopefully, I improve soon- I'm trying my best. I prefer using tower because it provides the best tactical support to the auxiliary fighters. I am, however, training on medium shields and bucklers just to improve my shield work.

Name : Hakan Realm : Numenor Unit : Valdemar
Primary Weapon Set : Sword and Teardrop shield. [It's what I started fighting with and I'm built as a line man so why not. Sometimes I'll switch it up with a flail, but, not often.]
Secondary Set : Speed red [Because it makes me feel like a Samurai. Seriously, though, it's just fun.]
Tertiary Set : Glaive. [Why? Something over 250 lbs of pissed-off Irishman + a glaive. Need I say more?]
