I take a different approach to it all, I don't believe in that knower of all master of none crap. There's plenty side characters in many stories that are like masters of many things because they dedicated their lives to it. Needless to say though, none of said characters are younger than like 40 though, so yeah..
Well no, I'll correct that. Child prodigies are a thing. But that's a trope that's been abused lately.
But that's besides the point. Aaron my character for example is very good at both magic manipulation and swordsman skills considering he spent like three years training with it non stop before his current self I rp. Like, he literally did nothing else but train.
The problem with him however is his after attitude. All that training was counter productive and basically turned him off to actually fighting as he complains about people dodging or having to use effort against people. His attitude restricts him from actually using what he knows. He's a lazy responsibility avoiding guy, and there's been plenty times where he's lost fights simply because he gave up and figured getting beaten was the easy way out, he's even asked opponents if they could hold still and just let him cut them. (I will note it's kinda hard rping him when doing dice events like GS or RS because of this, like, sometimes him winning feels completely ooc to me). But anyone that's probably seen him try to fight would probably say he's a lot stronger than what he gives off.
There's plenty of ways to rp a flawed master or skilled person. You just gotta find one that works best for you.
