Character Fighting Styles

[Ashla]

Okay, so this time we're going over... character fighting styles!!

How does your character perform in combat? What's their strengths and weaknesses? Are they speed fighters or tanks? Reversed or forward grip on their melee weapons? Do they made wide flashes, or do they keep their strikes fast and close to their bodies? What's your character's fighting style? Share if you like! :)


For established fighting styles, I have:
- Ashla: Ashla's a bit of a speed fighter. She depends on her agility and would rather swerve around her opponent instead using pure strength to cut an enemy down. She barely has much physical strength and endurance, and can easily be knocked down by a larger, stronger opponent. She instead relies on her dodging skills and her Frost Armor ability for defense. She isn't the kind of her person to "toy" with an opponent. She will test what they can do before getting up close, but she mainly gets in - get's job done - gets out.
- Gwendolyn: She mainly uses the bow and arrow whenever she can. However, in melee combat... she just slashes her knives around with a reversed grip (since reversed grips rock!)
- Come level two, Kaida is going to have willpower and endurance. So combine that with her other three stats of speed, agility, and strength... She's... I want her to be a speed fighter like Ashla (hense the nickname "the Jet"), but she may very well become a tank...


... That's all I got right now.

*Weeps* So, we now have 99% of the Flying Stone filled with BGoS. THE REST IS UNWORTHY!

... Sorry? xD

[Alyssa Snow]

Alyssa - Uses Pigua Quan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5P26m5SjjE) Martial Arts when in close melee combat using hands or razor wire. When incorporating just her knife, she uses a very close and quick grappling technique (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFgq07q8Gjg). This really only works well on humanoids. Any creature with thin appendages would also work well. Now aside from your usual point and shoot, Alyssa uses her snub nose revolvers in a martial art style as well. This is typically when she is using her wind shot (and later on, earth shot) spells. It is similar to the last third of this clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM3BsAAO8JI) but is intended to be used more like that knife fighting clip with close contact shots.

If the guns are chambered with ice spells (or fire later on) she fires them as anyone would expect a normal militant to fire. When she learns how to channel fire, it will have a homing property similar to the movie Wanted. The fire shots will only be about golf ball sized and do scorch damage on contact. (ie charring leather or burning through light cloth and charring skin) Later, she will be able to delay fire shots. It would look like this (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3901/14660278651_02bd613c95_o.jpg) before firing forth and homing in with up to 30 degree deflection.

As far as movement in battle, for high risk combat, she will be in close and maximizing her agility, flexibility, and acrobatics to minimize injury while maximizing damage output. For engagements requiring distance, she'll be similar to a free-runner mixed with a floor gymnast. In other words, whatever flip, jump, twist, she can pull of to avoid damage while slinging spells downrange.

Alyssa is very much a glass cannon in the respect should she get hit, there is no special abilities that minimize or negate damage. She'll bleed like normal, break bones like normal, and feel pain like normal.

Karuka uses a spear. This is completely by accident, as I'd intended her to eventually have a khopesh, because those are AWESOME. But she had nothing with her when she arrived, and thus, when she got into fights, her solution became "hit them with sticks." It took her a long time to get good with it, because her only fighting training had been with a sword. >.< Nowadays, I don't think sword fighting is even in her profile, but she's still go the good ol' hit 'em with sticks thing going on. If she doesn't have a stick, she's decent with her daggers (amazing what hanging out with Seth Dahlios for a while will do for you there), and she also has a really mean punch.

Of all the weapons she ever had, I think I miss her Epic Mop of Epicness most of all.

[hoytti]

Sorish is mainly a sword fighter with a bit of magic thrown in there.

Tourneymant uses whatever household object he brings him.

Random Stranger is a summoner
