Croelle's Weapon (Poll)
🕑 Added 2021-02-01 22:51:56 +0000 UTCHi everybody, welcome to February! I don't have much in terms of an update for the game, since I just updated the alpha build a few days ago, but I do have a poll for you!
So Croelle originally had a rapier or at least a long thin sword in the books, for no particularly reason other than that's how I imagined him, but I'm now thinking that this is potentially an improper choice for him in terms of his combat capabilities. Rapiers are so flimsy that it just doesn't seem like something Croelle would use. So, I'm brainstorming other ideas for him, and I'm asking for your guys' input!
For reference, the Shepherds already have:
Blade: a sword (can be a double-edged straight sword or more katana-like depending on your headcanon, mine goes back and forth)
Trouble: sniper rifle, handguns, dueling pistols, occasionally explosives
Tallys: Elven bow and arrows, sometimes enchanted
Shery: no weapon, has a ceremonial dagger in her room, in a drawer because she's scared of cutting herself on it somehow
Riel: no weapon, but he knows how to use a pistol (and has used one before) and has had his walking cane modified to have a blade inside it
Chase: twin serrated daggers, an ornate handgun
Red: warhammer
Ayla: quarterstaff
Halek: spear
Briony: sword (technically one-handed but heavy enough to be two-handed at times)
Lavinet: lance on horseback (primary weapon), saber on foot (secondary weapon)
I like to have a diverse array of weapons and skills shown in the game, so I don't think I want Croelle to have the same weapon as someone else. However, look at this aesthetic for potential swords!
*banging fists on table* Cursed sword, cursed sword, CURSED SWORD!
But then one must ask... are there too many swords in the mix? Blade's sword Anguriel, Briony's sword Gonturan, Lavinet's saber Bob... (I'm just kidding, she doesn't name her weapons because she is, as she says, "not weird")
So then you look at the scythes...
Or a flail, or a mace, or a battle axe...
Or what about a fucking WHIP SWORD?
All of these are wildly impractical but it's WHAT HE DESERVES!
Vote for the aesthetic! What do you think Croelle's main weapon should be?

Lena 😭You don't know how happy this makes me, lol. My *one* issue with Croelle was his rapier, and now it's will disappear forever. 🙌A wonderful surprise. I think, of the two currently leading, a whipsword much better fits his aesthetic, but I threw in a vote for a (hopefully, multi-headed) flail for good measure. Similar Vibes.

Croelle gives me big dual pistol energy and or/whip sword
