Many of our characters live in violent times. They make their way through the world with blade and magic at the ready. They have witnessed, and perhaps participated, in acts of heroism and horror.
How does your character face combat? Do they thrill at the chance to charge in or prefer the silent strike? Do they want a crowd watching and the battle to push them to the edge or would they rather kill their enemy without breaking a sweat? As you write, try to take this idea beyond the mechanics of the class your character may have. An assassin may love to slit the throat of his or her targets personally or prefer a small dose of poison that kills in complete anonymity. Some magic users may savor the heat of fire and flame. Others, finding that wholly unnecessary, just remove the air from their enemies' lungs.
When the battle is at hand, how does your character prefer to face the challenge?
