List the names of your weapons and, if you feel inclined, your reasons for naming them what you did.
Evil Character
Sword: Abyssion
It's the name of the ultimate Fell Arm sword from the game Tales of Vesperia. Might be a bit of a grandiose name for such a weak weapon in Fable III, but the Abyssion has an attack power of zero before its potential is unlocked-- so I figured it was still appropriate.
Hammer: Nightfell
Not really a big 'origin story' here. I couldn't think of any good names for an evil hammer. Maybe I should have stolen one from Soul Calibur.
Pistol: Kuruku Shot
Kuruku is an evil wizard from an old movie called Unico and the Island of Magic. He shot lasers out of his fingers, which is pretty awesome. What more reason do I need to name something after him?
Rifle: Golgo 13
Golgo 13 is an anime about a sniper/assassin who makes shots that are so impossible that they are deemed inadmissible in court.
Good Character
Sword: Slowsilver
After painstakingly ensuring that I received all of the 'good' morphs for my sword, I ended up really liking the way it looked-- although it's still a pathetically weak weapon. I named it in parody after the legendary 'Quicksilver.'
Hammer: Daybreaker
Same as the evil hammer. I just made something up that sounded decent.
Pistol: Soma Pistol
Soma's actual textbook definition will tell you otherwise, but in several mythologies it is supposed to be the distilled form of prayer. That is to say, prayer in solid or liquid form.
Rifle: Heartseeker
The name of the dark elf ranger Drizzt Do'Urden's legendary bow is the Heartseeker. Drizzt is from a long series of fantasy novels by R.A. Salvatore.
No Upgrades Challenge Character
Sword: Excalipur
In the game Final Fantasy 5, the Excalipur is kind of a joke 'fake' version of the Excalibur that only does 1 damage per hit even though its attack stat reads as being really high.
Hammer: POW Hammer
A lot of characters in the 'Tales' series of games use the POW Hammer as a special technique. It looks like a red and yellow plastic hammer.
Pistol: Fife Pistol
Named for Barney Fife's infamous single bullet pistol.
Rifle: Paintball Gun
Self explanatory. I couldn't think of any really weak or 'joke' rifles to name mine after.
