Ok, so I need an Empathic Weapon for my Hero Antagonist, David Berlin. He's pretty much Neutral Good, leaning towards True Neutral, and I need to know what his talking sword would be called.

Ironic, huh?

Well it really depends on who made the sword and what they made it for. If they made it to kill a specific person it would have a different name that a sword built to bring out violent urges or a sword built as a gift.

Well, it basically amplifies his existing power. You see, his power is apathy-based. If you're fighting him, he will slowly wear down on your belief in whatever you're fighting him because of, until eventually, you just give up. That death machine you built? It gives up on existing. If he cuts you with the blade, it happens faster. More cuts equals less belief.

Ironic, huh?

If his power is apathy based, then maybe he or no one else cared to name the sword.

I write pretty good fanfiction, sometimes.

That gives a whole new, chilling meaning to One-Steve Limit.

May I suggest Dave?

Yeah, the best embodiment of apathy is not to name the sword at all. If "Steve" sounds a little too mundane for you, perhaps something like "Nameless?"
