Or He Will Grab Just About Anything Near Him And Give A Good Bonk - Tumblr Posts

Eskel headcanon because apparently I can't stop myself (it's not gonna work with game visuals but ignore it please?)

Eskel's signs are powerful, more so than anybody else but they also emanate from his whole body, not just his hands when he gets really worked up.

When he signs Quen, all of his body radiate light, almost has bright has the shield itself.

Igni turns his skin hot, steam leaving his body. His hands get darker. He discovered by accident he can touch fire if he's angry enough, without hurting himself.

Yrden makes his skin prickly and anybody who touches him when he's casting is in immediate pain. He can also see non corporeal beings a lot better than most Witchers when the sign is still building under his skin. He can cast Yrden on any surface, including in mid-air.

Axii makes his eyes glow and his body slightly less corporeal. Sometimes he feels like if he pushed himself, he could take complete control of someone's mind. This one is the sign that he avoid casting the most when he's angry. He's afraid he won't find his limit one day.

And finally getting hit by his Aard is like being slammed into a brick wall at full force. It radiates from his entire body, crashing into his targets faster than any other Witcher's Aard. There's no escaping it. When he's furious, he can pulverise a tree or bring down a wall in a second.

And because of that, he has to be very careful always to keep his emotions in check. He had special training to learn to keep his signs under control when he's angry. It can become useful in a fight, but his signs are too volatile, so he avoids letting his emotions loose too often, particularly around humans. He can't afford to lose control after Blaviken.

It earned him a reputation of a calm, polite and well-mannered man who's dependable and will do the job quickly. Nobody has ever any idea how powerful he truly is.
