“

The only rule a Brawler needs, is to clear your mind of all rules.

”

There was always fighting for sport in the alleys of Hendon Myre...

No-holds-barred fighting. Ruthless competition in which the loser usually pays with his life; or an arm or leg, if they're lucky...

Although it was clearly illegal, alley fighting became more popular as the world became more chaotic. Eventually, it became so widespread that even the government could not interfere.

Male Fighters who are known as Brawlers had their beginning as these wagering fighters in the very same alley.

Sewer Princess Faris, the leader of Female Brawlers, was never fond of them because

"They don't take the life of humans seriously."

It is said that some people from Suju came to the alleys in Arad, and taught those who wished to learn how to street fight. They added what they learned from observing Faris's fighting, to the weapons they made, and crafted a new style of their own, that they call "Brawling".

The few remaining Male Brawlers alive today are very dangerous. They are used to no-holds-barred fighting. The fact that they are still alive, means they have beat the ultimate survival game. It means that they are extremely cunning, nasty, and just cruel.

The Brawler is an unstoppable thug who will do anything to win a fight. Not necessarily interested in the sporting aspects of conflict, the Brawler uses blades, poisons and other items to give him the upper hand. He is also prone to exploit dirty tricks, such as throwing sand in his opponents' eyes and even attacking them after they've fallen. He is a long range character who utilizes abnormal statuses like  Stun (Status),  Bleed (Status),  Poison (Status) and  Blind (Status). He casts abilities in wide areas of effect.

• At level 50, the Brawler awakens as a Rampager then at level 75, the Rampager awakens as a Hades.

• His subclass cosmetic effect is two small white bandages on his face, a large scar across his abdomen, and several more scars upon his legs.

• His 2nd Awakening cosmetic effect is his eyes often emit a bright purple glow.

• His Neo Awakening cosmetic effect is an area of chains and debris around the Brawler.

Becoming a Brawler

The Male Fighter must first reach level 15.

1. Talk to Blacksmith Linus in Elvenguard.
2. Clear Full Moon Thunderland.

Awakening as a Rampager

“

I will end the tragedy in this world!

”

Oh Rampager, the god of war...

The world is in chaos.

Though the creatures from hell run rampant, humans kill each other for their own greed. Their screams fill the sky and their meaningless death cause angels to cry tears of blood that taint the ocean red.

Dear Rampager,

Isn't it time you make your presence known? With blinding lightning and ear shattering-thunder, aren't you supposed to use your might to take away lives, destroy this world and end this chaos?!

Why must you remain silent! How much more cries of agony must you hear?!

Rampager...

Please come down and end this tragedy. And take this life also... one that is blind by the sorrow of losing her children, and now is merely dragging her life along the ground of this meaningless world.

- Prayer of a Forsaken Mother

Awakening as a Hades

“

The world plays at my standard from now.

”

A fool once told me that light will be swallowed up by darkness

That same fool advised to hide for your life

But look, which one of us ended up dying first?

Fools who run because they're scared, or avoid conflict because it's dirty

I'm not saying the weak should try to fight the strong

But how long are you going to just sit on your ass?

Life in the back alley is unforgiving and

Those who curse the world can get out

From now on, I am the rule

By becoming the darkness, I'll devour everything

Watch closely, this will be an entertaining fight

Awakening as a Neo: Brawler

“Ugh… you dirty…!”

The big man fell with a heavy sound.
His body was covered in dozens of needles, and there were some marks of being hit by blunt weapons.
Most of all his poisoned skin was going under such an unsightly necrosis,
Some of the crowd walked away from the nauseating sight.
Their eyes naturally turned to the one eyed man who had taken him down.
The crowd had gathered for a violent fight, but his unexpected cruelty seemed to have given some of them a foul mood.
The condemning eyes all struck the man like needles.
But the man’s expression remained unchanged.

“Dirty?”

He brought his mouth close to the big man’s ear.

“Since when is a ‘deathmatch’ ever dirty?”

The big man was already letting foams out of his mouth and couldn’t hear him,
But he was pretty much telling that to the audience.
He tossed away the big man and turned towards the crowd that surrounded him.

“All of you are too soft. It’s like watching children play.”

At his insult the crowd’s rage finally reached the boiling point.

“Arrogant prick!”
“Kill him!”

Some walked forward with weapons in hand.
Being unable to handle his insult seemed like a fitting excuse,
But they were all those who had bet on the big man.
It was closer to letting off steam than retaliating to the insult.
With the curtains rising for a new deathmatch, the crowd began placing their bets again.

The man seemed to have anticipated this and let his arms down.
Dozens of metal chains rang crudely as they fell.
At the sudden sound of chains the crowd turned their eyes to him again.

“Tell everyone.”

His face finally began to show emotion.
At his cold smile all who witnessed it froze as though time had stopped.

“I have returned to fix this pathetic backstreet.”

The man broke the silence and began swinging his arms wildly.
The chains flew and struck the nearby buildings like whips, as though they agreed with him.
The buildings collapsed like papers and the boulders began falling on the crowds.
A horrible scenery filled with screams. A true pandemonium.
And amongst it all, the man finally began smiling madly.
Then he whispered as he tossed the bomb in his hand.

“If you’re still alive, that is.”

A thick dust cloud with explosions covered the backstreet.

Trivia

Subclass Inspiration

• The Male Brawler's theme also borrows from the Street fighting style like his female counterpart, but he seems to heavily focus more on weapon-based combat with the usage of Chains instead upon his Awakenings.
• He is referred to as an Urban Champion during his Oculus scenario dialogue with Hellcat Louise before their battle.

Titles

• In the former Nexon-DFO localization, he was originally given Wildcat to match his counterpart's First Awakening title.
• His Global First Awakening, Rampager can refer to an eruption of violently uncontrolled, reckless, or destructive behavior.
  • The Impaler would also share this for his Korean First Awakening, which would be swapped around to differentiate the two.
• The Overseas Thousand-Handed Buddha, can refer to the Avalokiteśvara of Buddhism.
• For his Second Awakening, Hades (ᾍδης) in Greek Mythology is known as King of the underworld.

Skills

•  Ground Tackle - Looks to resemble Jin Saotome's Saotome Diving from Marvel vs Capcom.
• The 95 passive  Picharesk is derived from the genre of novels itself.
