Character: John Spiegel
Primary Weapon(s): Any two-handers, his fists if he must, occasional one-handers (mainly greatsword and scythe... leave me alone >.>)
Class-equivalent: WAR/very weak BLM! (DRK DRK DRK DRK DRK!)
Style: Survival / Fun!
Offense/Defense/Versatile: Offense, baby.
Strengths: Strength, stamina, stubbornness
Weaknesses: Agility, magic resources, one eye
Summary: As stated above, John's fighting style is survivalist-ic. He's effectively been on his own since he ran away from Ala Mhigo at the age of twelve and he has quite the habit of getting into trouble (singed his scalp, lost an eye, got a buttload of scars...). He really never had any actual combat training outside some basic stuff in the Ala Mhigan military orphanage before he ran away. He's usually clad in darksteel armor, resulting in poor agility. If his opponent gets in close, he drops an elbow. If his foe is using ranged weapons, he tries to close the distance and uses terrain to his advantage or whatever is laying around (pots, rocks, whatever). One may call this cheap, but survival isn't always about "playing fair". On the lighter side, he does enjoy fighting even moreso than eating at times. He can view even a pretty rough fight as being fun.
His lost eye and years of adaptation has forged him to keep his senses on his blindspot, but this can be circumvented if he's highly distracted.
Extra: It turns out a good bit of the fighting method of JJ is similar to that of Guts from Berserk, which I didn't know of until years after JJ first came about.
