The sword of the day is the kopis.

The kopis is an ancient Greek sword almost identical in shape to the contemporary Iberian falcata. Its blade has a broad belly and a forward curve, and I’ve covered enough blades with this general forward-bending profile that anyone who’s been following should know what it’s used for; this was a chopping weapon. The shape allowed it to strike with the force of an axe, but it retained the longer cutting edge and point of a sword. In the film 300, it is depicted as the primary sword of the Spartan army, but this is likely inaccurate; most soldier would likely have carried a xiphos (a shorter thrusting sword) instead.

Summary: Ren is a weapon. An Eighth Generation Anti Shadow Weapon, to be specific. A stealth unit developed by the Kirijo Group in the aftermath of the Moonlight Bridge. But Ren had also, once, been human. He's sure he had been, he can almost, almost remember being someone else, being human, having friends and a life and a home that smells vaguely of curry. He doesn't particularly care if everyone else says those memories are impossible. He knows who he is.

I didn’t find out that swordtember was a thing until last night, so I had to spend today playing catch up.

Here’s days 1-3, Shadow, light, and insect like!
