Overview:

War, arguably the most physically intimidating of the Four Horsemen (although Death probably takes the overall “most intimidating” title.)  The only thing more legendary than his combat prowess might be his temper.  Though he is an honorable creature, destruction follows in his wake wherever he goes, and he’s not afraid to break down a few doors (or walls, or legendary elder demon faces) to get his way.

With his impressive build, Death is an obvious candidate for the Tank class.  Although his penchant for damage and destruction, along with his violent nature, might qualify him for the Juggernaut class, I feel his superhuman durability bumps him into the Warrior class instead.  Plus, I mean, his name is in the class.  The red rider is, effectively, the ultimate warrrior.  Let’s see what it’s going to take to emulate this beast of a nephilim!

The War Workout is going to feature a lot of heavy lifting, body building, and power lifting.  Strength AND size are both priorities, here.  War’s not really about running all over creation (he’s got a horse for that,) so we’re not going to be too focused on cardiovascular work.  Instead we’re going to get big, strong, and capable of swinging huge world-ending swords around.

In The Ultimate Warrior we’re going to discuss the skills and talents War possesses, both as a nephilim and as a horseman of the apocalypse.  If you dream of becoming an agent of destruction, an unstoppable warrior capable of taking on any challenge set before you, this is the post for you.  Walls, doors, demons…nothing will stand in your way.  War’s skills as the ultimate combatant will be yours.

The Wrath of War will cover the mind and psychology of the rampaging living weapon of the nephilim.  His honor…his anger…and his desire to clear his name.  Competitive, brash, honorable, aggressive.  This mountain of a being is surprisingly deep for an agent of living destruction, and there a lot to be learned from his outlook on life, and the way he interacts with those around him.

We’re in for a wild ride (ha ha) with this one, folks.  War’s been requested quite a few times (along with Death…patience on that one,) so I think we can consider him a fan favorite.  I’ll see you again on Thursday with The War Workout!

Live boldly, change the world, and continue to be awesome!
