General Glauca - Tumblr Posts
Something I’ve wondered in the past, and I think it might be something that would interest you.
Titus doesn’t fight, he’s never shown fighting as Titus, he only ever fights as the General. So, in your opinion, would his fight style be quick and agile like the rest of the Glaive? Would he be able to warp? Or would his fighting style be similar to Glauca? Or would someone who knows Titus’ fighting style recognise similarities between him and Glauca?
Sorry for the long ask ☺️💙
Nay friend, it´s really fine! :) ♡♡♡ I wondered about this too, actually ... Although gotta admit that I am not great at extensive analyses (my brain is too ADHD for that), but that never really stopped me before.
So in my opinion Titus and Glauca have different fighting styles, for obvious reasons. Yet you can pick certain prefferences, at least in weapons. Titus is too clever for something like fighting style to blow his cover. Like in my head I see Glauca as completely different personality which is still part of Titus. (But is like very well hidden)
I need to take into into account his age (roughly around 46?). Like when he was younger, he definitively was even more swift and flexible. But due to his injuries and aching bones (and that´s no joke), he started to fight smarter, not harder. We can see a reflection of his fighting style in his glaives and most definitively in Nyx.
Let´s laid another facts on the table. Titus is extremely skilled with weapons (even fire arms, but he just doesn´t use them that much). Mainly preffers to use long swords and battle axes (Titus swinging battle axe like a madman and destroying his enemies now lives in my head rent free) His fighting style is calculated, offensive. He uses his whole body as a weapon. (kicks, punches, tripping his enemies,..) He ain´t no stranger to dirty tactics, as long as it gets the job done.
When Titus took the mantle of captain (and wasn´t corrupted by starscourge armor, btw fuck you Verstael) he definitively used king´s magic. Titus wasn´t much keen on warping tho (as effective as it was), but like power up punches or projections to confuse your enemies, yeah I can see him do that. Oh, I almost forget Titus is great at hand to hand combat.
(I can tell I am not good with this description, but I have found a video from Adrian Bouchet with his fighting scenes. And that´s actually how I kinda imagined Titus fight)
Glauca on other hand is raw unhinged power to be reckon with. Only uses double handed greatswords (I can also image him with executioner's sword, but that would be impractical) He bulldozes his way through anything, seemingly untouchable. Even as Glauca he´s exceptionally fast on his feet ( thanks to his armor and pure skills). Like we saw how Glauca fight in the movie, so there is not much to say from me.
(Have a feast of this magnificent fight, it´s scary how is Glauca so fast and fluid in his movements with greatsword like in 2:08)
Glauca finding his s/o on the battlefield and they try to stop him not knowing it’s Titus
Hi anonie! Thank you for being patient with me. Titus strikes me as a guy who will act differently if it's just not that serious (booty call if you want) or established relationship.

Y/S- your surname
Glauca/ Titus Drautos
It was a complete accident that you two met at the battlefield. You were scouting ahead when you stumbled on his "hiding" spot. "Do NOT engage with him! Retreat Y/S, I will send assault team your way." spoke up Luche from your communicator. You despide warning from Luche, prepared your kukris. Magic danced behind your eyes wildly, demanding to be unleashed. " But we don´t get better chance than now, I am going in!"
Not established relationship:
He will not be gentle with you, it was your own fault for enganging him without backup
you do hold your own against him but ... Glauca is feared rightfully for his reputation as you found out firsthand
He was suprised to see you there, engaging him on your own like some rookie ( " What a stupid move, little glaive. One that you will pay for!")
Glauca fight offensively and brutally. You almost don´t see his sword, when exchanging blows with him
You were severely bleeding when he got you on the ground, prepared to execute you (" What a shame. Thought you could do more than that, soldier.")
If it wasn´t for your comrades arrival, you would probably be dead
He did a number on you, Glauca didn´t hold back in slightest. (some broken bones, severe bleeding, probably some trauma) You were lucky that you survived
You´ve got a lecture from Titus regarding your safety. And two weeks at the gate, for disobeying an order
Established relationship:
well well well ... He doesn´t want to fight you, yet Titus can´t reveal himself and break his cover
he´s more on the defensive side, but don´t be mistaken. Glauca packs a punch when you´re not careful enough
subconsciously Titus tries to suppress Glauca, because he doesn´t want to kill you
Titus is trying to make you yield, or at least make you run away with his intimidation ( "I killed many of your comrades, glaive. What makes you think that you won´t end like them?")
You will get hurt, but those are just bruises that will heal in time (People are so suprised, you survived the encouter with him)
Oh boy, Titus will chew you for that stunt! He would grab you by your shoulders and shake you (" Why are you doing this to me?! God damnit, I could lose you today, love!!")
He tries to lie to himself that your injuries doesn't bother him, he was Glauca at the time ( It doesn´t work, btw)
Titus will be more tender with you. Will help you take care of your injuries in private of your shared home (he may even kiss them to make them feel better)
May I possibly ask for a Glauca kidnapping his s/o as a distraction, they’re apart of the royal family or a top glaive -someone important-. Maybe he’s having a hard time doing it.
Hello there anonie! Of course, you can! :)

Titus aka Glauca has got a very simple mission: kidnapp glaive Y/N Y/S, who where per chance HIS s/o. (But nobody knew that, obvi)
You, as Sigil bearer of Yore, possesed great danger to the Niflheim, because your sigils were boosting power of the Kingsglaive ( even though the sigils were "borrowed" from the old rulers. And you were the unfortunate soul, who was chosen "There are other plans with your fellow "comrades" the old rulers said)
even Verstael showed interest in you, thats what urged this mission (your powers could benefit his godly plan greatly and make their daemons even stronger)
I would be honest ... if you´re really important to him then he would be so conflicted in completing this mission and would try to somehow twist it in his favour.
Glauca/Titus is man of his words. He´s a double agent for Six´s sake, he better be good. He will devise plan in which he would kidnap you.
PLOT TWIST! He would fake your death, so not only Lucis lost valuable asset, but also Niflheim would be screwed. Verstael was in particular pissed, that he lost such interesting lab rat.
Meanwhile you, would be probably locked in Titus huge af mansion that was somewhere on Niflheim´s border.
YOU will be treated like a fucking royalty. He has two or three very loyal people, who takes care of this house. They would told you, that their master saved you and that you´re treated as their guest.
Just a .... when you find out that Titus is Glauca and viceversa .... oh boy, Titus is not prepared for that storm.
