You grew up in a rough neighborhood and had been in more than your fair share of street fights by the time you were a teen. Forged and tempered by your brutal environment, you are familiar with the necessity of fighting over scraps of food and the agony of gnawing hunger and broken ribs after losing such a fight. But you remained determined to persevere despite innumerable hardships. Through sheer will to survive, unwavering grit, and bloody fists, you became a powerful unarmed combatant, capable of going toe to toe even with skilled warriors that fight with sword or spear. | You grew up in a rough neighborhood and had been in more than your fair share of street fights by the time you were a teen.

Your skill in unarmed combat is unquestioned, and your style is very distinct. Do you rely on your overwhelmingly powerful physique to crush your foes? Maybe you fight with an unpredictable blend of strength and agility, or you might rigorously train in various forms that you can use to outmaneuver enemies with different fighting styles. Whatever your personal blend of unarmed combat maneuvers, you quickly cultivate a reputation among other fighters for your skill at holding your own against armed combatants. | Your skill in unarmed [[combat]] is unquestioned, and your style is very distinct.
