All of Henry’s weapons, due to him being larger than most bears, are all custom made by either him or a trusted blacksmith and are far too heavy for any normal person to use. For example: his longsword that he usually carries around. That thing is a smidge over 10 kilograms :)

I’ve decided to make Henry not plural. It’s way too hard coming up with things for his character if he is, so I’ve decided to revoke that. He still has his chronic pain and all that stuff, just not the plurality. I might try to get some plural rep in another character though, I still wanna explore it.

The first time Henry went to China and saw fireworks, he immediately thought, “how can I weaponise that?” And he proceeded to weaponise them the moment he got back to Denmark. Ever since then, Denmark has been making the biggest and best bombs, rockets, and missiles in the world. These explosive capabilities expanded to aircraft once they were invented, giving Denmark incredibly effective anti-infantry and anti-armour capabilities, but their fighters weren’t very good. Bombers were their specialty. Their navy is the greatest in the world though, has been for hundreds of years due to the naval culture and the aforementioned rocket technology. So, Denmark’s specialties going into the modern era were bomber/rocket anti-ground aircraft and a highly advanced navy.

Henry, being a carpenter and siege tactician, needed a way to break walls that was faster than sapping and catapults, but not overly expensive. He took a look at the onagers of the romans from his memory and hand slings and decided that: “The principles of these two things aren’t all that different. What if I just…” and he proceeded to combine the two, inventing the modern trebuchet about 300 or so years earlier than in our own history :D
