Character: T'rahnu Ihka
Primary Weapon(s): Bardiche/Great Axe
Secondary Weapon(s): Bow, Fists
Class-equivalent: Marauder/Warrior, Archer, Pugilist
Style: The Calculated Beast
Offense/Defense/Versatile: Balanced - T'rahnu prefers equal parts offense and defense, though her "defense" consists almost entirely of shrugging off blows that don't get past her armor and pushing the enemy into a corner.
Strengths: Good instincts; high physical fitness; lots of combat experience and training
Weaknesses: Absolutely no aptitude for magic; susceptible to status effects (poison, slow, sleep, etc.)
Summary: T'rahnu's combat style is highly efficient, focused on disorienting an opponent to get an opening for the killing blow. Her favorite technique involves baiting an attack, catching it between one arm and her torso, and using the leverage to allow her bardiche to cleave the opponent's weapon in twain. Her remarkable physical fitness, with a balanced combination of strength, speed, and stamina, in addition to her ability to read her enemies' intent, makes her a very formidable opponent. The most effective method of countering her is through magic, as her only real plan of attack in such scenarios is to charge the enemy as quickly and attack as brutally as possible in order to prevent them from completing a cast.
Extra: She has gone through hand-to-hand combat training for the event she is without her axe. Her fighting style most closely resembles Krav Maga, owing to her large focus on practical combat techniques over flashy movements. This training makes her a very dangerous individual to sneak up on - it is recommended that all approaching do so by announcing their presence first. She also carries a bow and quiver on her at all times, mostly for the utility it provides when hunting for food. That being said, she is not above using it for combat in the event it is necessary or advantageous to do so.
She is also not above retreating in the event she is clearly outmatched, a skill that has kept her alive even before she took up the axe.
