RE: What's your character fighting style? - Tahla'ra Molkot - 11-13-2017

Verdant Field's fighting style has always capitalized very heavily on her size and strength. Being 8'2", she's tall and muscular even for a Roegadyn, and that means that sharp movements are comparatively costly for her to make. It's more energy-efficient for her to go for power blows, seeking to crush her enemy with sheer force rather than trying to get fancy with it. She prefers to fight with an axe, as the long handle provides excellent leverage for her physical power, but she knows how to use a sword and shield in a pinch.

She has had very little formal training, and thus her attacks and defense are wild and unrefined to the point of recklessness. A good comparison might be Mugen from Samurai Champloo, or Nightmare from Soul Calibur; talented and powerful, but unguided and rendered somewhat inefficient from the lack of structure form provides, as well as being light on defense.

Rin'li is a big fan of swiftcast into a sleep spell and then running away. ~

If that's not an option, being a mage, he'd try his best to stay at a distance from his foe, using a combination of binding/slowing spells and trying to blow them up as quickly as possible. All the while, he'd likely be panicking and trying to remember all those incantations he studied and read about but never actually put into practice.

Sometimes Clo swings the greatsword, sometimes the sword swings her. While strong, she is not massive, and so the art of swordsmanship for her is an exercise in the preservation of inertia, minimizing wasted effort, maximizing fluidity and power. Once the thrill of battle takes her, black blood rituals are invoked in the whirling steps between blows, spurring her weapon to strike deeper, withering her enemies.

RE: What's your character fighting style? - Misasae - 01-24-2018

Misasae is my lalafell gladiator/paladin. Her fighting style is to barely fight at all, but rather to act as an infuriating fly to her enemies that they would dearly love to squash, so that her allies can do the damage on her behalf. She is acrobatic, loud-mouthed, and fights dirtier than the scummiest of pirates, thinking nothing of kicking someone in the crotch and laughing infuriatingly as she makes a run for it, if it gives her allies the chance they need to stick an arrow in their back. It makes her a good tank, but being not all that physically strong or having much reach, she would be in trouble if her allies were taken out or her enemies actually landed an unblocked hit on her.
