#&& honorable mention 2 jumie when it comes to taking her shot at gray in dark maiden lol. payback for hurting her loved ones <3

[nerice]

also not the exact wording but which oc is the most brutal in a fight?

im so sorry that you sent in graycore questions^2 but it is what it is and the answer for this is him by such an incredible margin. readmore'ing this on principle for #cw tangential child abuse & absolute terrible family dynamics on maine

his core character-defining trait is a complete lack of restraint in all areas but it rly comes through with the violence. zero remorse terrible beatdowns only, famous for his "i need to beat this child to death immediately for no reason in particular" incidents @ sky which is. yknow yknow 🐇 i am looking away h.

the fun (DEBATABLE) angle here is that. the most brutal confrontations are btwn them, yes, but they go both ways because sky's bastard strength can cause serious damage that gray has no choice but to grit his teeth thru & retaliate to in equal measure (little aftermath snippet that i didn't end up posting in the server for. reasons perhaps obviously ww) >>

gray strips out of his tattered shirt to survey the damage to his shoulder. only in the light up here does he notice the bruises: they litter his body, and as he touches them, memory comes flooding back. a stray thrust of hand, far from a fist or a slap, that made him bite down on his tongue. an elbow to his gut as she writhed beneath him. a desperate palm that would have broken clean through his ribs had he not caught her wrist and snapped it. fingers, however feeble, however starved, half clutching onto him, half attempting to pry him off, having left dozens of blotchy, hand-shaped bruises across his arms. he presses down on them with sick satisfaction. as worthless as the rabbit down in the lair is, she's his daughter alright. all violence. 

& by dark maiden when they're both fully immortal it is simply. :)<3

i have things to say abt the fact that by then he no longer cares 2 use his bare hands for this, instead corrupting the shadow mark reina used to seal him (effective repository of all the damage from their little torture session) to inflict the same wounds on others at a distance) but :^) discussion for another time

#the runner up here is cait (absolutely ruthless hunting shadows and will torture them with no regard for the human body they possess) oops #&& honorable mention 2 jumie when it comes to taking her shot at gray in dark maiden lol. payback for hurting her loved ones <3 #like she Almost has the upper hand in that fight simply by virtue that gray has never cared abt her interference or what she thinks abt #all the things he has done. no catharsis to be found in maiming him unfortunately. as reina discovered before her #still for good measure!!!! fuck him up!!!! #askbox #xivu-arath #oc asks #sorry 2 be in gray central i also dont want 2 be here promise
