I think I mentioned in my notes that Zero often uses some kinda enhanced sword to fight with the monstrous hostile aliens. (By Zero I mean my character from Construct, that game/visual novel concept I mention once in a while.)
The Constructs have built in weapons but Zero apparently thinks it's usually less exhausting to swing a big sword than it is to shoot the beasts with lasers or whatever Evie installed in him. Maybe it takes a moment for his beam to activate or aim or whatever. Apparently the blades of most claymores are a lot thinner than I thought. Tachi blades are kinda thin looking too. I dunno what exactly he's wielding, then.
It's supposed to be a two handed sword, proportionately long enough for a 6 ft tall man to use. The blade is straight, I think. It's probably made outta some material that the ally aliens developed. (I need some excuse to justify why it can cut through weird biomechanical kaiju monsters.)
