Abilities

⯌ Master Swordsman/Tactician

Ever since he was six years of age, Guts has wielded oversized swords, culminating in his incredible strength and master swordsmanship. Despite his Herculean stature, Guts is notably dexterous and agile in the heat of battle, capable of dodging and countering even the most rapid strikes. He is a combat pragmatist and versatile improviser, capitalizing on any opportunity available to surmount opposition; on several occasions, he has used children to bait and distract enemies when overwhelmed. Even combatants known for their keen combat intellect, such as Silat and Serpico, have fallen prey to Guts' adaptive capacity and combative wit.





⯌ Peak-Human Conditioning

Guts has been a struggler of the battlefield since the raw age of nine,[23] and as such, has had nearly two decades to refine himself into the formidable warrior he is. During his days as a mercenary in the Hundred-Year War, he became famed for single-handedly slaying 100 Tudor soldiers, and even garnered the respect of the legendary swordsman Nosferatu Zodd for being the first human in three centuries to wound the apostle. Following the Eclipse, his strength and reflexes improve drastically even still, honed to their peak in his constant struggle against otherworldly creatures as one branded. Guts' combat prowess becomes so great as to rival the normal forms of the most formidable apostles, allowing him to contend with them on equal footing.[101] On the Hill of Swords, Guts demonstrates the ability to contend with Zodd's released form, with the match ending in a draw after Griffith orders Zodd's retreat.





⯌ Indomitable Will

Guts possesses an indomitable will which enables him to persevere in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. His force of will is so great that he has unconcernedly mutilated his own body in pursuit of his goals, and let himself be injured in order to create openings and execute counterattacks on opponents. It is specifically his personal determination that pushes him forward in the face of opposition as one branded, and factors greatly into his retention of his humanity.

Out-of-Character

⯌ Backtag

Absolutely




⯌ Fourthwall

Uh, yeah, actually, go ahead. Though don't be surprised if he doesn't believe you or he's pissed about it.




⯌ Off-Limits

None for me.




⯌ Other

He, and his world, deal with some pretty dark subject matter. Some specifics involve rape, including child rape, torture, body horror, extreme violence, abusive behavior, murder, child murder, and warfare. Please let me know (here) if you have any issues you would prefer to avoid; I'll do my best to abide by this and label accordingly.

In-Character

⯌ Physical Contact

You will get a very nasty reaction if the physical contact is not explicitly allowed.




⯌ Mental Contact

Same as physical.




⯌ Flirt

He's a brick wall but sure.




⯌ Fight

Please do.




⯌ Injury

Absolutely.




⯌ Death

Not really his thing so I'd prefer no without some heavy discussion.
