♫ dances

To be honest, Kimbley is great at a lot of things in life, doing his best to remain a veritable jack-of-all-trades---and yet dancing is one talent to which he has not particularly paid a mind. 

It can be said he knows the basics of dancing---the initial positions, basic two-step, how to waltz---which he learned while living in Central and in case he would need to attend some formal events while in the military (which he didn’t, since he was spending most of his time in combat training and, subsequently, doing horrible, terrible things). And he’s really very good at what he knows, being the ever-graceful evil swan he is. But as for the more complicated types of dances, he really hasn’t taken the time---or seen the need to take the time---to study them.

➔ walks

At all times, at any pace, Kimbley walks in a way similar to a predator searching for prey. When he’s moving idly along, his gait is the epitome of what one might imagine “sauntering” to be, each step taken with seductive grace and a bit of swagger. Yet even at his fastest gait---even as it seems he’s in a rush, or he has somewhere far more important to be than here---he still has this way of measuring his pace with imposing steps and confident posture.

☾ sleeps

I’ve discussed before that Kimbley’s sleeping habits are extremely erratic (and definitely unhealthy, by extension). Ultimately, he has two sleeping modes: lightly napping for less than a half hour, and hardcore hibernation.

When he’s just napping, he could really be in any position to do this---he can even sleep sitting upright in a chair. However, if he’s in a bed, he’ll probably be on his back, looking like a corpse---or, if he’s with Greed, squished up against the Homunculus with no other choice but to stay that way. XD

Oh man I have thought about this so much hah ha h

He’s highly adaptive - that’s the first and most important thing. Grey Wardens are esteemed fighters, that’s their thing so he’s a very efficient fighter. He’s got a few set-ups.

The first is typical mage. He uses a staff, roots himself with Keeper/nature magic and does your pretty standard spell-firing stuff. Next is close-quarters magey stuff, where he uses a bladed staff like a bo staff and uses magic as support.

His hand-to-hand style is primarily for disarming and knocking out. It involves short bursts of speed and strength and is inspired a lot by this.

Then there’s Arcane Warrior techniques which for him is more accurately called Arcane Rogue. He typically wields a sword and quillon dagger, or parrying dagger if he’s fighting not-darkspawn. Is also skilled with scramasax daggers and stiletto daggers. Is too small for most shields but can use a buckler. He doesn’t really need them though bc arcane shields ~Having a dominant left hand gives him an edge with this style. Using in-game references he would be skilled with the specialist & scoundrel talents trees and the duelist spec.
