    Default Need help creating up a name for my character's weapon?

    I'm creating my own story, and my character is susposed to have his own unique weapon, just how how Ouyang Ke has a fan, Yang Guo has his Iron Sword thing, and Hong Qigong has his Dog Beating Stick, etc (All from Condor Trilogy). So can ideas? For weapons, I can only think of a fan, a sword, a stick, the dress like Xiaolongnu, and that's it:s. For name ideas, I have none. Plus help me with my ideas!

    Can you tell us a little about your character? Like the gendet, age, personality traits, etc.

    What sect, if any, does your character come from? Is he from the orthodox sects or unorthodox sects? Is he famous or infamous?

    Yeah, you need to give more information on the user of the weapon. Is he gentlemanly, scholarly, brutish, warrior-like, etc?

    It's a she, but her personality is a bit similar to Yang Guo.

    Doesn't come from any sect. She's infamous (kinda of at first), but then later on becomes a hero.

    Random Weapon (I had written a much longer version with DnD 3.5 stats just for the hell of it but had a disconnect so I lost it all).

    Name: Heaven and Earth

    Left handed battle gauntlet made of xuan tie (the black metal with the red sheen) known as Earth. This is used to block, catch and break weapons as well as to execute powerful attacks. Emphasis on simple and direct attacks.

    Silvery-blue ribbon sword known as Heaven wielded in the right hand. This is used to execute fast dazzling attacks that rely on speed and exquisite techniques.

    Together with both weapons you have a combination of hard and soft styles at your disposal. Left to smash through defenses and destroy weapons, right for crowd control and misdirection.
    HK47: Now do you understand the travails of my existence master? Surely it does not compare to your existence but still...
    You: I survive somehow
    HK47: As do I. It is our lot in life I suppose master. Shall we find something to kill to cheer ourselves up?

    I've read a lot of fantasy and wuxia over the years, and spent years DMing and playing RPGs.
