How do you fight?

[Orion]

So, a lot of different fighting styles, and weaponry, and tactics all arrayed on this board. For the sake of convenience, and curiosity: how do you fight?

Of course, this question applies to both you and your character/s, if they have varying fighting styles.

Orion prefers to fight with precision, end battles as fast as possible by striking at vital points. Painfully. While he is decently skilled in his personal double-halberd, he also can use a crossbow, hand-axe, knives, and a rapier. He will also utilize odd things, such as a can of axe with a lighter, a taser, handfuls of pepper, liberal use of alcohol and open flames, and various vehicular attacks, such as via car, motorcycle, or bike to the face. His methodology?

"If it hurts them, and slows them down, your doing something right."

Me personally? Restrain, slow, scare the shit out of them. Blows to solar plexus, groin, neck, and joints, as well shots to the back of the head, are all useful deterrents and effective ways to get someone to leave you alone. Don't punch them in the face, it just pisses them off and makes them want to fight you more. My methodology is similar to Orions:

"Denied oxygen and feeling like they have arthritis, they will back off. Or end up counting ceiling tiles. Not my problem either way.

Delilah's and my Philosophy:

"If you're fighting for real, make sure they don't get back up again."

What few fights I've gotten into have played out with me mostly punching. I just try to keep hitting the other person and not really give them a chance to hit me back.

Shugo's very much against killing and leaving permanent damage as much as he can help it. He fights mostly to incapacitate the opponent enough to get them from not fighting anymore. He goes for a KO so he a lot of the times he just tries to sneak up on people and use his electricity as a taser to knock out weaker opponents to avoid a fight. With people close to his physical prowess, he'll fight defensively and wait for openings to make his move. When he goes into QI he generally just imitates his opponents fighting style and fights back like that.

[David B.]

David and myself have some similarities.

We both have advanced Martial knowledge. We both have technical skill as well as precision and speed. David, however, uses more weapons as well as sheer strength. I utilize my thin frame and knowledge of weak points, even soft points to damage and maim.

David, when fighting, will kill enemies or put down an adversary in due time.

I am far more brutal in a fight. When fighting, no tactics are above using. I'll stick a thumb in your eye, put a fist in your throat or bite off an ear. When I'm fighting, I always assume the person will try and damage me just as I do them. I will maim. And if the person threatens my life with a weapon, I will kill, and kill quickly. Before every fight I try to assess if I can escape, however. I will always try to spare a person what I will do and have been trained to do to them.

John uses stealth and knives, trying to utilize his strength and ability to take a hit as well.
