Ask, do you have a picture of the masakari Sakura uses. I'm a visual learner, and I think it will help me with interpreting character intent. Thing about weaponry of any kind is that there are all sorts of designs for them. Masakari (Or Onto) is literally the Japanese word for axe, and like all weapons, they have all sorts of designs. I saw one on a large pole with a tall spike on top like a halberd for example.

Edit: I looked at your bio, and saw the YouTube link to your character. Problem is the axe can only partly be made out. Is there a spiky end at the back of the axe? Something which would dig into Georgy's neck? Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

Got it. I assumed after careful reading that was what you were going For. For the longest time, I assumed Sakura's Masakari was a two-handed, single-bladed, axe with a horn at the back of the weapon.

Lesson to learn: maybe in future RP's I'm going to have you guys describe your weapons, or post a picture of them, just so I can visualize them. This should help me with interpretation of posts. I think. I'm sure I will find some way to screw up everyone's posts. XD

Edit: Alright, Azi. I think I fixed Sakura's post. Give it a look, and see if there is anything wrong when you can. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

Yes, the post seems fine. As a corrective point since I failed to describe terminology, the 'horns' of an axe refers to the points at the ends of the edge (assuming it has the points; some axe blades do not have tapering points, but instead cut-outs or flat tops). The back spike, or side spikes, are usually referred to simply as spikes (or if the back spike is beak-shaped, sometimes referred to as beak [some spikes are pyramidal and lack sharp points but these are also just referred to as spikes even if they lack sharpness and length]).
