So I decided to host an unofficial contest to see your guys' creativity in character making. This is all for fun, and there is no prize, yet.

Are a rubber ducky and infinite bar of soap acceptable

[Alphaeus]

Since you said UNDERRATED weapon, I'm going with legit weapons here.

So, that said, here's my input:

The Sling. Out of ALL the weapons you see, this one just doesn't get any love. It's degraded as the entry tier ranged wep games, neglected in RP, and the only time you hear about it is if someone brings up David and Goliath.

Why is it underrated? Well, it's unimpressive. A strap of leather that slings a stone. Well, yeah...that's simple, and rather bland. Fact is that when properly done that stone is flying at extremely high speeds over long range with astounding accuracy. Essentially you have a super cheap, foldable, portable, undetectable, compact small arm weapon that can use literally ANYTHING of appropriate size/weight as ammo.

I support the Sling for the most underrated weapon. I mean, heck, even DIRT get's more love in RPGs than slings.

[Urako]

How about the simple shield. It's almost never used despite it's real-life reliability even on gladiators who could easily wield it with their weapons. I guess it's because everyone thinks it's fancier or cooler to just wield some complicated sword but I don't know.

[IgnusBurns]

Hmmm... This seems interesting!

I wanna go with the ōdachi, a longer variant of its smaller (but better known) brother the katana.

It was originally designed to be used from horseback, as it was super lengthy and unwieldy to use on foot. It may have been deadly when properly used on either ground or on a mount, but it still wasn't as famous as its little brother.

Those assassin arm blade thingies.

And a long very sharp pointy stick

[Azarel CS.777]

So it is simply creating a character that uses an underrated weapon to fight, right?

[Sharpiro]

Yes, that is the contest so I'm going to put you guys in the contestant list.

Yes Kamiroo, rubber duckies and infinite soap counts :3

So everything is written in official wRHG Character format, including a demo. But really this demo showcases your character in a fight. And who knows! maybe you'll use them in the future!

[Urako]

Hey on second though, I don't think I will be joining this competition. I have other stuff to do and i thought it was just a weapon contest so yeah. Sorry about that.

[Sharpiro]

ahh then ok
