Special weaponmade gauntlets are more a fantasy element than a medieval weapon of choise as far as I know. Still it would be a unique variety type, be it spiked or as in assasin creed bladed ones. There is a brawler background, and this background is unusable at the moment.
Chakrams and whips. While the first is an exotic weapon type used by hmm Xena? the latter was more used in gladiator fights than actual combat. It needs much free space and limited usability. But again they might work.
The swords you mentioned seem to be more like a legendary fantasy types.
My main concern is that the female characters should have lowered upkeep. There is no equality now, and was even less then. (Joke)
