Weapons. I often end up just throwing a weapon into my characters' hands/paws and assume the rest of the population has similar weapons. The most common I use is a knife/dagger or sword. For some reason, I never consider archery or even no weapons like physical combat. Heck, maybe my character is a wrestler lol
Weapons don't only reflect the culture or beliefs of your world (such as perhaps having a weapon goes against a religion etc.), but they also reflect the extent of technological advancement and the political stance of either your character or their species.
=================
Are weapons common in your world?
What types of weapons do you have?
Typically, who owns them? Everyone? Or just a selected few?
If many people own weapons, who regulates the usage of these weapons?
How do those in your world view owning a weapon? Commonplace or a rarity? This is where you might want to think about the political stances, religious beliefs, etc.
