Death Battle Info

Background

• Height: Tall
• Weight: Unknown
• Age: Probably in his 20's
• Species: Human
• Place of Birth: Unnamed Kingdom

Equipment

• Sword: Most often wields a sword which always seems to make those it kills disappear (game mechanics). It can also block dragon fire that's hot enough to quickly melt gold.
• Magic Sword: Dirk can exchange his sword for magic one. It can block Singe's fire breath and fire it back at him, be imbued with magical fire until it hits an enemy, and be imbued with all of the essences in order to block and redirect attacks from Mordroc's dragon form.
• Steel Sword: While originally made of wood, turned to steel when struck by lightning. This sword allowed Dirk to easily cut through rock and destroy a wooden war machine by riding his horse through it, swinging wildly.
• Dagger: Dirk can throw this straight-forward at enemies with accuracy and can throw many of them at a time.
• Axe: Dirk can throw this axe upward and forward in an arc, slicing through enemies it encounters.
• Boomerang: A star shaped boomerang which comes back to Dirk after being thrown, but hurts him if it touches him.
• Crossbow: Can wield normal arrows, fire arrows which can blow up explosive barrels, and magic arrows which can kill normal enemies in a single hit and pierce magical barriers, at the cost of only being able to hold one at any given time.
• Grappling Hook: Can be used to latch onto ceilings like a boat's edge and allows Dirk to climb on it.

Abilities

• Can create a bubble around Dirk in order to freely travel in water.
• Can create gusts of wind strong enough to blow several wolves into a pitfall trap by swinging his sword.
• Can swim through gold like Scrooge McDuck.

Essences

• Dragon's Ring: Allows Dirk to release a spinning attack with an attack radius beyond that which his sword would normally allow after charging for a short period. Charging for a longer period allows him to increase the range of his attack.
• Dragon's Wing: Allows Dirk to glide for long periods without making any drop in height.
• Dragon's Eye: Can let Dirk see hidden doors and invisible enemies. It also allows him to see through certain walls.
• Dragon's Spirit: Has Dirk expend mana to heal himself.
• Dragon's Scale: Makes Dirk immune to fire and heated areas that would otherwise incinerate him, though it doesn't protect him against lava. It doesn't drain mana when he's outside of fire/heated areas.
• Dragon's Flame: Allows Dirk to set his sword alight with magical fire.
