DOESN'T NEED A CUT. People should know how this works, if not, just follow other people's lead. I'm gonna set up some strategist threads at the top, for the four strategists to use if they want to, otherwise people should start their own threads.

((Mod Note: Since this has been asked a few times, just fyi, the livestock do not talk. Happy hunting!))

[ Aether isn't the kind of soldier who goes along with strategies developed by someone else. His fighting style is far too self-reliant, far too much about stealth and brutal efficiency. On the very first day, he slips away from the main group and goes off to seek out the smaller, more easily intimidated enemy groups.

It is on the first day, that his approach is the most consistent. Whenever there is a squad of Third Party soldiers who are distanced from the larger groups, he strikes. A thin bolt of silver charges through the air with a barely audible whistle and one Shifter's eyes suddenly lose their glow right before he slumps to the ground. The initial reaction is usually tension and surprise, which is enough for Aether to send in another shot and create another corpse. It is a slow and methodical style, but it is also safe for him and intimidating enough for the enemies to lose focus.

Once the big guns are down, Aether moves in. If his crossbow bolts are intimidating, his melee fighting style is a complete nightmare. His motions are swift and focused, while his strikes are wide and powerful enough to break bones and send limbs flying through the air. He isn't particularly ethical with what he uses for a weapon, either - be it an ax he brought from the village, a sword he lifted from a downed opponent or even an enemy corpse, he's going to use it. More often than not, he'll also succeed.

Occasionally, he can be found resting near an occasional barn or leaning back on a fence. He looks fairly peaceful then, although the excessive amount of enemy blood on his clothes and the seemingly blank look in his eyes might not promise the best kind of conversation.

Still, it cannot hurt to at least make an attempt at one... right? ]
