Greetings everyone,

I wanted to get folks’ opinions on a few things so I figured I would post this here.

I am developing a form of martial arts for Vellantha to use in my novel. Since she is a Lilim the techniques would of course be non-fatal and be implemented with the least amount of force necessary. I know there are a number of Mamono who specialize in certain martial arts (Such as the Kakuen, Hinezumi, and Kunoichi.) But the profiles neglect to specify what these forms entail.

I want to make Vellantha’s combat techniques distinct from Nicholas’ (He being a proficient user of Venusian Aikido, Lok’nel, and Bartitsu in hand to hand combat, and a master of Makashi, and Niman for duels against sword wielding opponents.)

Seeing that there is no Canon form of martial arts for Mamono I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or ideas for creating one, such as techniques or movements I could incorporate.

In the story thus far Vellantha is a powerful Magi-Tech Sorceress so I would like to bring her affinity for designing and engineering machines into her martial arts style as well if at all possible. To reflect her character traits and interests as it were. Currently I’ve written Vellantha as using a rapier made of Demon Realm Silver for close combat and eventually designing a pair of dual pistols to use at long range. She’s physically far stronger than Nicholas is as well so strength would be factored into any technique I do create.

I suppose my two questions here are: Do you folks know of any martial arts techniques (fictional or otherwise) for hand to hand and long range that would meld well together?

And do you have any suggestions for what to name this new martial arts blending? (I really struggle with names. Ugh)

As always your feedback is appreciated and thank you in advance.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
