So I need a little help with a headcanon thing. It's spectacularly boring for RP purposes and will never reach personal interaction beyond a conversation topic maybe, but I wanna be sure I get this right.
So. My Balmung sword (squeeee). It doesn't look like any other weapon in the game available "regularly". So it made me think that maybe it's a weapon that Steel found and helps to enhance her Darkside powers.
Thing is, the only enchanted weapon in lore is Zantsetsuken.
So my thought processes went to Allagan and Nym. I'm not fully up on my lore on both, but Allagan tech seems to be more about augmentation than mysticalness. So maybe the Nymians would be the sort to come up with a sword that resonates to more umbral energies.
But then I wonder about the history of the Dark Knights and how or why that power would parallel witb societies that existed hundreds of years prior.
So, I come to here for help. The endgame is to explain why Steel has a giant ornate katana on her back beyond "It looks sexy as fuff." In my headcanon the thing is already heavier than it appears, meaning her physical power still has a purpose, but I'm trying to further flesh out growing aetheric powers.
Thanks for peeking in. <3
