[ CANON POWERS ]

Asch is a swordsman, first and foremost. He fights with a brutal, forceful style that, despite appearing rather wild and uncontrolled, has been carefully honed to best suit Asch's strength and natural skill. Though not slow, very agile opponents can prove themselves to be annoyances. He knows several special melee skills (called Base Artes) that allow him to quickly deal physical and elemental damage to his opponents.

In addition to normal swordplay, Asch is able to use Fonic Artes (special skills similar to magic spells) in combat, though his skill is moderate. His focus on swordplay means he stands second--at best--to those who specialize in the use of such Artes. Fonic Artes require focus and preparation to use, and being struck is enough to disrupt said focus. In the middle of battle one needs space in order to cast, and Asch's front-line style of fighting means that these artes don't see much use once a battle has started. On the other hand, these Fonic Artes are much more powerful than Base Artes, so they do still have their uses.

He also has access to Arcane Artes, Field of Fonon changes, and a single Mystic Arte. Arcane Artes are beefed up versions or combinations of his Fonic and Base Artes. His Field of Fonon changes occur when he uses certain artes near collections of fonons, which occur when Fonic Artes are used nearby. FOF changes are more powerful or elementally altered Base and Fonic Artes. They are harder to pull off, but generally not too 'expensive' in terms of the energy required to cast them. (NOTE: I imagine FoF charges will be replaced with something similar to the Holy Power mechanic.)

His Mystic Arte, Rending Saber, is his world's version of a Overdrive or Limit Break. It's very powerful, but difficult to pull off; it can typically only be used in the most dire of situations. When cast, a barrage of blade of light thrust up from the ground to stab the hell out of anyone within a ten foot radius.

Asch, like Luke, is capable of causing and controlling a hyperresonance by himself. A hyperresonance is a powerful skill that allows its user or users to tear apart and reassemble any sort of matter on a fonic (molecular) level. They're incredibly destructive, difficult to control, and usually require two people to create. Asch is one of the only people capable of causing a hyperresonance completely on his own, and he is also capable of controlling and directing it through sheer force of will. Fortunately for the rest of the world, Asch knows better than to use this power recklessly. Similarly, because he and Luke are perfect isofons (that is, they could technically be considered to be the same entity), Asch is able to communicate with Luke even across great distances, similar to telepathy.

Finally, though Asch fights right-handed, he was actually born left-handed. He was taught how to use his right hand for the sake of manners, and now does so out of habit. However his left hand is still naturally dominant, making him somewhat ambidextrous.

[ WARFORGED POWERS ]

Fury: As Protectors of Life, Redsworn will fight to their last breath. Fury will greatly increase the Dragonsworn's stamina and strength for a brief period, acting as a small and desperate berserk mode. Beware, Redsworn, for this could be your greatest asset or your worst enemy. Inexperienced Redsworn will not be able to control themselves when Fury takes control of them.

Inspiration: Redsworn are paragon-type characters that inspire people around them. As a result, Redsworn are able to umbue their life essence to heal wounds or strengthen allies. But be warned, abuse of this power will drain one's life-force and can easily lead to death if not monitored.

Dragonbreath: Fire is the language of life on Azeroth. It is used to heat, to protect, and to inspire new life. Redsworn will be able to call fire and manipulate it to their whims. Redsworn fire can also be used to cauterize small wounds to speed up the healing process, though larger wounds would require aid from Inspiration.
