How do you describe your viewpoint characters without resorting to using a mirror?

And how long do you wait before you discover your wife is fucking your brother to spite you and you reveal your combat training?

3rd paragraph, obviously.

Psssssh. If you haven't established all that by the second sentence, you're doing it wrong.

Besides, everyone knows the third paragraph is where you extol your nunchuck skills.

Ah, the humble nunchuck. People had been telling me my whole life, not least my worthless cuckolding brother, that nunchucks are a sissy weapon for losers. I suspect this had to do with the incident at the dojo in 8th grade where I knocked myself out cold with an errant swing of the elegant weapon. I was the laughing stock of the dojo for the rest of my career there, but it was all a ruse to get them to underestimate me. Plus, I was the first kid there to get a knockout on my record. I could go the rest of my life bragging, 'I got my first nunchuck knockout at 13,' and my brother was the only person who could reveal it was only technically true. Just another reason he needed to be destroyed. With nunchucks.

Just do it.
