FIGHTING STYLE(S)
General/Preferred Style: – As a guard, he tends to avoid seriously hurting people, so he generally attempts to disarm or cripple criminals, using the back side of his blade or his fist.
Hand-to-Hand: – Pray you never have to fight him barehanded, as his very arm is a weapon
Weapons Style: – If he decides to or is given the order to kill a man, he proves to be more than capable of doing so with either his blade or his mechanical arm. He tends to move in quickly, blocking their weapons with his arm and killing with his blade. It has proven to be a brutal but effective method.
THE ARM
What it can do: - This strange mechanical arm is covered in black steel plates, making it nearly impervious to physical attacks. However, an extremely heavy load or extreme stress can disrupt internal mechanisms, and it offers very little protection against magic, excluding fire, which it can easily take without warping the steel, since it's designed to shoot off an extremely powerful round which produces a great deal of heat.
Which brings us to the next subject, the single round fire gun built into the arm. A single .905 caliber slug is loaded into the forearm underneath one of the plates, which flips open when desired. This action reveals the firing chamber, and ejects any shells within the chamber. This done, the plate moves back into place.
When ready to fire, his hand separates into fives sections which move down to the wrist, and a small section of the barrel extends from his new opening. The entire process takes only one second, and the bullet can be fired immediately. Upon firing, his joints temporarily disconnect and slide, absorbing most of the impact. Firing more than round within an hour can, however, seriously damage his joints, or even over heat his arm and cause extreme pain.
The final function of his arm is the simplest. Punching. Ever get hit in the gut with a twenty pound piece of steel? You tend not to walk straight for a while. It is more than capable of breaking swords, knocking doors off hinges, or knocking people off their feet.
He is always searching for ingenious minds to create new attachments or improvements on old ones to his arm, and can usually write off some of the cost as "business expenses".
Personal History/Background: - His parents murdered, covered in blood, crying like the baby he was, what choice did the guard have but to take the child under custody? He grew up in the guardhouse, cleaning weapons and armor and the like. He was the guards mascot. One day at the age of sixteen, they decided he was old enough to find work. No one was surprised when he enlisted in the guard. He passed his tests with flying colors, having an extensive knowledge of guard protocols and routine, and was accepted for immediately. That year, he lost his arm while attempting to apprehend a murder suspect, who cut his arm off cleanly at the shoulder. He thought his life as a guard was over, until he realized that the advanced technologies of the mechanical district could be easily utilized to build a new arm. His life's savings and some generous contribution from the guards bought him this new arm, and he spent the next year in therapy, learning to use it to its full potential. Now he's back on the streets, stronger than before and ready to catch the man who stole his arm, and his parents.
