Added DiffLines:

* CradlingYourKill: If MC lets Bloodmist kill Firebrand it'll look as if she's doing this/is locked in a passionate kiss with him. Her being a vampire should however give no illusions to what she's actually doing.


Added DiffLines:

* AnyLastWords: If MC loses against Firebrand before the apartment fire he'll do this, giving MC the opportunity to turn the tables by either headbutting him, throwing him off physically or verbally, or giving him a big slobbery kiss.

Added DiffLines:

* DeathTrap: Only villain in the game to do this. If he wins the fight after the apartment fire, he'll set one up in a fireworks warehouse. He ''does'' feel a bit sorry for trying to kill the MC in such a spectacular way, but ''the cause comes first''. He's also livestreaming the whole thing and YMMV on whether that is a cruel taunt or a sneaky safety-measure to make sure the MC actually gets rescued.

* ElementalPunch: His fighting MO (aside from throwing Fireballs) is setting his hands on fire. They're also the only part of him that he can do that with.

Adding Genius Bruiser for Firebrand, cause good gracious he worked canonically as Sous-Chef, that stuff needs some brains and skills


* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: At first he might come across as the ''Brawns'' contrasting Bloodmist's ''Brains''. Nevertheless while ''precision isn't his style'' (according to the MC) he [[spoiler:built a bomb with incorrectly color-coded wires possibly on purpose, managed to set said bomb up without almost anyone noticing, and, at least in one path, learned how to control fire's path in about two weeks. He also worked as a sous-chef, which does require a certain level of organizational talent.]]

Added DiffLines:

* GeniusBruiser: While he is hot-headed and impulsive most of the time, a bit of a throwaway-line reveals he worked as a Sous-Chef at a high-class restaurant. This means he must have gone to college and earned his bachelor's degree in culinary arts/science and have shown great organizational, teamwork and general cooking skills.
