#alright long list of clarifications here it goes:#he fights dirty as heck unless he's sparring or having a friendly fight #will chat in fights he's not going all out or if he's trying to convince you of something- dead silent when fighting very seriously #with the rare exception of him raging vocally #attacks in bursts because he often waits for you to drop your guard/underestimate his physical prowess- then suddenly no time to breathe #but may also attack a bit more steadily depending on the situation #he WILL annoy you to bait you and he WILL make you think he's just a lucky and quick buffoon you'll rip apart as soon as you reach him #attitude fighting changes a lot depending on what he wants from you #not afraid of getting hurt but may run away when he's had enough or when he wants you to follow him #likes the blade in his cane likes his weird eldritch and snake powers likes his 'not a flamesprayer' and his 'suckerpunch gauntlet'#but actually feels very comfortable brawling if the other is unarmed (and in settings with crazy weapons his odds are better this way)#no specific weakness out of those though I guess physical is the way you're most likely to beat him at least in verses like BB #fights you as normal man or spooky reptilian man- full eldritch lizardman is very rare #seldom fights at his fullest but will take advantage of his versatility and stamina- also cautious fighting even if he doesn't look that way #again- annoy the fuck out of you and make himself look like a cocky trash fighter despite his 'lucky' hit in #will use the location to its fullest and if it's unstable enough he'll use it against you #actually capable of very intricate footwork but will often move in a way that makes him seem sloppier than he is #most commonly when not in a super important fight- at times he looks like he's being reckless and will stumble any second #but there is also a grace to when he mocks you (reverences and theatrical motions that betray how intricate his positioning and motions are)#quite humble- not ashamed of losing for real or faking it and if he likes what you did he'll say it sooner or later #will fake beg for his life to seem pathetic #unnecessary movements when not in a vital fight and not furious once more part of it is meant to frustrate you the other is love for drama #though flips aren't among them #can move pretty efficiently and in some more serious situations might move the bare minimum (to surprise you later with his speed)#if he relies on eldritch stuff he might not move at all #good luck escaping the sight of an eldritch creature (possible but hard)#fights ruthlessly when it's necessary or he's very angry #will sucker punch you- bonus points if he uses his clunky gauntlet he's got under one sleeve to make it hurt more #usually avoids fighting because he usually prefers more subtle methods and he cares little for death #THAT'S ALL!
