I just really like ground and pound. The way I do it, it looks like I'm just throwing bombs, but there's some technique to it too.

On dispersive ground, therefore, fight not. On facile ground, halt not. On contentious ground, attack not. On open ground, do not try to block the enemy's way.

On desperate ground, fight.

When I was growing up, I always felt there was an expectation that I would do one of two things: be great at something, or go crazy and become a total failure. There is no middle ground where I come from, and I am only now beginning to get a sense that there is a middle ground at all.
Whether I build a character from the ground up or develop one, whether within my own copyright or in licensed work, I can step into that character's mind.
