Character: Azyria Ziada, aka Blue Moon
Primary Weapon(s): Spear
Class-equivalent: Lancer/Dragoon
Style: .. I don't honestly know of any spear-based fighting style. If you do, feel free to make suggestions.

Spears in history usually were pretty straight forward so far as I know. A lot of thrusting and such. There's the naginata but that's a halberd. I think one way to approach spear use in a non-European fashion is going the bo staff route and mingling thrusts with the attacks.

Wushu bo staff usage.
Spinning a spear would take a little more adaptation depending on the size of the spear head but it would supplement some of that defense that's necessary and help give a spear-wielder more space should their opponent get into their danger zone of close quarters range. Two of our Grindstone members use the spear in different ways, both of which I enjoy.
