Creator's Notes
There's just as much of a story around Fisticuffs' actual creation as there is his origin.
On December 25th, 2013 I was given DARK SOULS (the first one) as a gift from a friend. Fast forward a month, and you have an incident. In a hurry through a low level area, I made the silly mistake of punching something with a Pyromancy Flame instead of swinging my actual weapon. My friend saw me do this over a livestream, and after much joking around a serious question was asked:
Why don't you play through the game by only punching things?
It was on. "Sir Fisticuff" was made (missing the "s" due exclusively to a lack of character space), as a heavily armored knight that punched everything to death. Strangely, I took to the idea well.
On March 14, the original Captain Fisticuffs was made on Champions Online. At the time, he wasn't a very well-developed character. Just a Behemoth that looked like a knight with really big hands. Heck, I didn't even have the Shining Knight set back when I made him!
And then there was Dungeons and Dragons. Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that our party needed a monk, I doubt that Fist would have developed into a true roleplay character.
Fisticuffs remains my favorite character to this day, and it took a lot of research and number-crunching to actually get a reasonable grasp on how I imagine him to actually be. Everything from how much he weighs to the codes he follows was slowly pieced together over time.
Origin Story & Recent History
Somewhere in an unnamed realm a plague was tearing through kingdoms, slowly encompassing the globe. Kingdom after kingdom fell as mages and alchemists alike scrambled, trying to find a cure and halt the anarchy that was being created. And then came the rumors. There was a cure, somewhere in the deepest regions of the Blackmist Swamp, miles away...
But the journey there was treacherous, and few would volunteer to even attempt to make such a journey. Fewer still came back alive to tell the tales of the horrors that lay on the road. The experienced knight Jaedrick Steelheart didn't care. He had a kingdom - and a world - to save. He gathered supplies and set off alone, on a trip to obtain the plant from which a cure could be extracted.
Jaedrick eventually arrived at Drakewing canyon, the last region before he reached the Swamp itself. The looked upwards, and carefully counted the number of drake nests he could spot. There were 4 on this side. As long as he was quiet, he should be able to pass through without trouble...
...Except for that rock he'd kicked onto a sleeping drake below him. A screech roared back up. Uh oh.
The entire ravine lit up with shrieks and screams of angry drakes. He broke into a run, hoping to get some distance before they arrived. It wasn't much, but he managed to get several feet before the first drake pounced. It was massive, angry, and already rearing up to attack. The knight bounced off the beast as its head dropped low and sprayed a violent stream of sparks. He bypassed the first one successfully, but no sooner did he finish landing on the ground past the first drake then did another crawl up the cliff-side. This one attempted to bite him, though he managed to roll underneath it. This beast however, would not be so easily foiled, slamming its tail into the knight's back and rendering him unconscious as he fell down the seemingly bottomless ravine...
