((Well, yes, but if you are also on the hit list of a 9-foot-tall artificial supersoldier with four arms and space magic, a catgirl isn't exactly the most threatening thing.))

((The 9-foot tall artificial supersoldier might still exercise restraint because he knows how easy it is for him to kill you. The catgirl, on the other hand, is much more likely to go all-out. Also, Jim is better at inflicting damage - but Lyra can inflict pain.))

(( I'm now very concerned for your characters wellbeing, Paris
And now that I'm on the right track with 'honorable combat', I understand the drive to disable. Should be fun to watch, cause this is definitely not a world that agrees with such things. It may also not have helped my understanding that I have absolutely no knowledge of Clint Eastwood's movies, and thus no concept of those characters ))

((Hey, I haven't seen much of Clint Eastwood myself. And he's nothing like my character, from the little I've seen.
The story behind the name is actually this:))

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I had already decided my stats. I wanted a soldier that had a bit of speech and charisma, just for the challenge of using that stats, or at least roleplaying that I had those stats. And I hate thinking of names. So I thought: "Hey, let's think of what would fit. Maybe an actor that played in action movies, he would have the appropriate stats. So what kind of actors I know...." and then the thought somehow got combined with this gag unit in a strategy game. And thus Flint Westwood was born. And then I thought: "It would be fun if he acted like one of the characters he played. Maybe a cowboy hero." And that's how I came with the idea he came from a desert planet and had his mind messed by the UWM with at some point. And of course, if he believed he was a hero, then he had to act as a hero. Thus the no killing rule. Of course, the talk-and-act-like-a-cowboy and believes-he's-in-a-movie thing got out the window quickly, since I found it both uninteresting and hard to do.
