Chachan kinda falls into that sort of vibe as well. He's only been training with Warren on sword and shield for, what, a couple moons now? So he's certainly better than when he's started, but he's certainly no master. He's lost fights from inexperience, from fighting a weapon/style he's never seen before, and I even attributed part of his loss in the last Grindstone to the fact that he was fighting a friend, something he never thought he'd really have to do.
However, I also like to play up his "never say die" positive outlook and a resilience that comes both from his heritage and his years working the heat of the forge. Which, in the end, I've taken to calling his Variable Defense - since how tough he is ends up being directly proportional to the threat on his friends, he's exactly as tough as he needs to be for the situation at hand.
It may sound a little metagamey... but it allows me to have him get some pretty stellar moments in RP, without making him some immovable, unbreakable wall.
