#PennedPossibilities 677 — What is your MC’s greatest skill?
He's a man of many talents (and many faults as well), but let's talk about something more subtle here. When his temper doesn't get the best of him, which can sometimes happen, it's the following...
Disengagement: He's skilled at stopping a fight before it starts or preventing an ongoing conflict from turning physical.
De-escalation: He's long since learned effective strategies to diffuse tensions and avoid unnecessary harm. Being a gang leader means he /needs/ that still on occasion.
Deterrence: He isn't too shabby at employing tactics to protect himself and prevent said aforementioned conflicts when it comes to himself (or friends).
