Posted 6 years, 5 months ago by ProtocolSection

Hatchet: An Axe defined by its small size and head, often used for chopping smaller pieces of wood it can still be utilized as a small offensive weapon, or thrown to great effect. While not as common as Knives or Daggers- many civilians have one of these near by for chopping up firewood if they prefer a more traditional form of heating or cooking. 

Wood Axe: An Axe designed for chopping wood logs rather than limbs, though people still sometime use this as such. It is very useful for removing trees and the like either to sell for money, construction jobs or for burning. It is a very common object to see, especially with wood cutter.

Throwing Axe: An Axe defined by its design revolving around being thrown rather than for chopping. This Axe is streamlined and has many holes along it to make it fly faster, farther, and have less fall off to make it an effective throwing weapon.

Pinwheel Axe: An Axe defined as being a head shaped like a pinwheel, that can spin on the handle. It will spin when swung to have its multiple heads strike at the same time, or be thrown to get a similar effect- assuming the actual head hits the target rather than the handle. Normally this is a one handed weapon, but there are few that are large two handed variants. 

War Axe: An Axe defined as being designed for war and being small enough to hold in one hand, often used with another weapon or object. However some people prefer to use just one to keep mobility up. 

Executioners Axe: An extremely heavy, dense and strong two handed Axe. This weapon can effortlessly cut right through flesh and bone, in fact one could probably just drop it and gravity would go through their flesh and bone without any difficulty. However due to how heavy these weapons are they are not typically used in combat, reserved for executions- hence the name.

Battleaxe: An Axe defined as being large in size and developed for war. The long metal handles allow it to be used for blocking, and the large sweeping strikes can be used to take out multiple targets at once. While not as strong as the Executioners Axe- it is much easier to wield and swing.

Paviseaxe: An Axe defined as having a slot to store a magic core and many vein-line imprints running along the handle and head of the Axe. The Paviseaxe can use magic from a core to create powerful AoE attacks when it the head or end of the handle are slammed into the ground. Alternatively a magic user can siphon their own magic into it. Whatever core or magic is inserted into the weapon will grant it that Element's enchantment.

Leviathanaxe: An Axe defined as only having a handle, requiring the user to siphon their own magic into the handle to create a head of magic. Alternatively, the wielder may insert a magic core into the bottom of the handle to create a head. Unlike other Axes, this weapon attacks the user's Resistance rather than Defense, and is better suited for fighting highly armored foes. The color of the Axe is dependent on what kind of magic is surging through it.

Hybrid Axe: An Axe with a very unique combination of head(s), Axe Accessory and handle. Typically these can only be made, as enemies typically do not experiment too much with their weapon design for fear it will suck badly.
