I love making outfits. A shame I can only have one, unless I want to be grievously overcharged for additional slots.
I know, this isn't the place to post this gripe, but I feel I must. However, to stay on topic, here's my current outfit. It's inspired by a certain character on a certain show... can you guess?
(Having considerable difficulty posting the image... So, I click the insert image button. I select browse, and choose the image. It shows the name of the image in the popup, but there's no button to upload or do anything else. I click save comment, it doesn't add the image. I'm not seeing any way to actually attach the image. Any help?)
(And now all I get is this gibberish instead of displaying the actual image...)

So... no one guessed (perhaps no one could see the image?), so here's a shot that might help...
(Actually, as I look at this picture, I have to mention my wish that 2 handed weapons weren't all so ridiculously gigantic. Look at the size of those 2 hand swords.)

It’s Game of Thrones but I still don’t know the character it’s supposed to be.

With regard to two hand weapons the truth is that a Two Handed Great Sword would be 6lbs or 3kg in weight and would be almost 6' long or 182cm. The blade it self was average of 4' or 122cm long itself.
The swords in your picture are long swords or a Knight's Sword which were actually very close to what your photo shows. And those are ONE handed weapons. The two Handed were much larger than what you see there.
Only the strongest men could carry these weapons with the ability to wield them.

Historical two-handed swords could even be a bit heavier, up to about 7 lbs/3.2 kg. That didn't mean it took an unusually strong warrior to wield them, however. A single-handed sword averaged around 3 lbs/ 1.4 kg. Shields typically ranged anywhere from 5-10 lbs / 2.3-4.5 kg. So, a fighter weilding a sword and shield would be bearing a weight of 8lbs / 3.6 kg at the lightest and the weight would be distributed unevenly. It would actually be easier for the average fighter to bear the weight of, and fight effectively with, a two handed sword. Assuming training and practice, of course, since the fighting styles are rather different.

[In the meantime, here's me, and what inspires how I design my Nord. Usually a mix of my real historic clothes and ESO Nord NPC. My biggest concession to ESO vs. historic armour is the pauldrons. Not something used in Medieval Scandinavia but I find that they are a huge part of recognizable racial silhouettes in ESO. I'm the one in the middle with the large red shield and the Gjermundbu helm.]

Are the weapons there real, and if so, are they blunted/rounded at the edges or sharp?

They are steel, and would be good quality blade steel, but they are made with 2mm blunt edges making them noticeably heavier than historical swords and axes. So they are not sharp but they can be dangerous. I had to sit out 2007-2009 after having my tibia shattered by an axe. Which is why we typically avoid hits below the knees or elbows. The arrows are usually rubber tipped. And if they're not, we're usually warned before the fight starts.
