The way the devs designed the characters (at least in SC1) was that they had the weapon first and then made a bunch of different designs and picked the one they liked the most. Not sure if this is how they made characters for SC2, but I remember seeing an old gaming magazine that had screenshots of an earlier build of the game where Talim was called "Tungfa," meaning they at least had an idea of a character who used tonfas.
>And wtf kind of Chinese name is kilik?
It's not Chinese. It's how Japs pronounce a Sanskrit character (hrīḥ), pic related. Though they normally pronounce it as "Kiriiku" (キリーク). Kilik even says a Sanskrit Buddhist chant that has hrīḥ in it (though the English translation replaces it with Kilik's own name) in a couple of games like his ending in SC1 or after winning a round with his super in SC6.
