Hey there, #JanuaryWorldbuilders! Yesterday I asked about ranged weapons, so today is for melee/close-range weapons! Whacha got for me? Are people using swords and maces? Got any cool polearms? Or are your characters conducting business with their fists, teeth, and claws?

A little bit of both, depending on the project.
For Six-String City, it wasn't until the final ten pages or so of drafting that I settled on naming the MC Scarlet. Prior to that, she'd had maybe five different names.
In contrast, Liza Tanaka was always the name of the MC for Mystic of Sage Street.
