Weaponry

The Exos use a basic variety of weaponry, as part of the population always faces threats.

History
Since their incursion by unknown means, the Exos live in paranoia of something that could wipe them out. To combat this, most Exos are equipped with a weapon, even despite pacifism. This is because in Externian mythology, the "something" cannot withstand a basic fist in their early days.

Combat knives
Combat knives which are forged from Externian trees, and the blade either from other means (e.x. an Externian branch or even the island's crystals itself) are often designed to be easily to wield and take out. More complicated forms include the butterfly knife, which consists of two knives in one (via tape), and the primitive cutlass (a knife attached to a long pole that is bent near the center.)

This kind of weapon is given to Exos who are leaving the Megisle to look for other settlements as a form of self defense. In Externian languages, they are called "Outblades".

Rapiers
The Externian rapier consists of an incredibly thin Externian tree branch, with sprouts cut off and sharpened near the end, attached to a handle which is often bent wood. If the user wishes for something much less primitive-looking, the handle is made of a bent pole, and the hilt now bent backwards. The end result resembles an umbrella. In the languages, the are called "Longouters".

Spears
The Externian spear is two poles with a long knife (optionally a rapier) taped to the end, which is then thrusted forward to attack. This is often the hardest to control as it is incredibly floppy, which makes it hard to aim with. One third of it can be cut off to have more aiming, but it becomes much more noticeable. In the languages, they are called "Longjabbers".

Longsword
The Externian longsword is designed similarily to the rapier, except the hilt is not bent backwards and the tree branch longer and sharper. A layer of rogue wires attached to a power box can be attached, which electrocutes the enemy. However, this makes cleaning incredibly dangerous. In the languages, they are called "Longouters".

Dagger
The Externian dagger is based on the combat knife, however the blade is a jagged island crystal. Optionally, the dagger can be designed to extend it's blade when necessary, giving much more range, however needing more time to set up. In the languages, they are called "Outjabbers".

Ranged weaponry
The Exos cannot make ranged weaponry, as in weaponry it is simply too far to obtain yet. However, they have experimented, with the first ranged weapon in history being a simple flintlock that broke. Crossbows and pistols have been attempted to no avail.
