Pitzas

Pitzas is an sturdy yet insightful fighter from the dry, scorching deserts of Boneburrow Barrens, who debuts in A Crafty Crusade as the player's forth main traveling companion.
== Appearance ==
Pitzas is seen as a tough and somewhat scarred stickman with a maroon-tinted outline that is slightly thicker than the other party members, said to depict his muscle gained from his experience as a warrior. He also has a black goatee and a short ponytail with a golden hairband, as well as a large crooked scar across his right eye. His attire consists of a dark-grey headband, a golden cape, a leather belt holding a few items, including a scabbard that holds his large sword, and black boots.
== Personality ==
Despite his intimidating appearance and strong abilities, Pitzas is often rather neutral towards travelers and only prefers to judge them based on their individual background. He is also willing to give advice and tips to local amateur travelers and aspiring fighters, as long as they use that advice for good intentions. However, he is not all friendly in nature, for he tends to get incredibly destructive when someone annoys him long enough or if his allies in danger. He may also hold grudges to those that have betrayed him or have lied to him, contrary to his initial meek demeanor during a first encounter with someone.
== Abilities ==
As hinted at earlier, Pitzas wields incredible strength and power from his past experiences and training. He is also known for his distinct ability to earthbend. Although he sometimes uses a few strategies in battle, he mostly just depends on combos and brute force, making his fighting advice seem "hypocritical." His signature weapon is a long, wide platinum sword known as the Scourge's Blade. His most favored attribute is Power.

== History ==
=== Pre-series ===
Though it isn't clearly stated, his early life may have consisted of being an orphan and being raised by a wise yet somewhat cold-hearted brawler who taught him a lot about survival and self-defense. At some point, Pitzas left home to find his own adventure, but eventually joined a thieves' guild due to his struggles in the wilderness. Overtime, he got better at his skills and eventually put them to the test when he signed up to a battle against another guild in the valley of Boneburrow.
During the battle, Pitzas came across a high-ranked member of the opposing guild who revealed herself to be an old childhood friend of his after nearly being seized by him. Though attempting to show mercy despite the guild's intentions, he was only foiled as she made a final blow, causing him to faint. Worse, once he woke up, his guild simply ditched him due to his injuries that seemingly show weakness. Though his wounds slowly but gradually healed as he settled in to Boneburrow Outposts, his trauma barely did.
=== A Crafty Crusade ===
During the player's visit to the Boneburrow Outposts, he can be first seen chilling out at the tavern. Soon, when a bar fight suddenly occurs and the player is attacked by some other drunk adventurers, Pitzas attempts to break out the fight and apologizes for the inconvenience. He then tries to distract them by striking up a conversation. After the player's hero eventually tells him of their position as the world's destined hero, he requests them to let him join their party, promising that he'll teach them what they need to know for the journey. At first, Princess April is skeptical of his experience due to her experience of being asked out by various himbos, but soon enough, she is distracted by his bulky fighting skills as well as his mighty blade, and shrugs it off.
== Trivia ==
* There is a running gag throughout the game that Pitzas' name kinda sounds like "Pizza." (Even the main article's character section mentions it!)
* For some reason, he lacks the ability to open his eyes, which also becomes a running gag.
* From his starring Flashbook, his childhood friend and a high-ranking member of the opposite guild bares a striking resemblance to Captain Petunia.
** She sometimes claims of joining a guild that also put her against another guild, as well as soon betrayed and ditched her like Pitzas was with his.
