Brawler

The  BRAWLER  is the Class of defense, endurance, and fortitude. BRAWLERS are considered the best class as bodyguards. Despite their namesake  BRAWLERS perform little direct fighting, instead using their Shield and toughness to outlast their opponents. Their Class powers revolve around the projection and manipulation of a powerful Shield that blocks attacks and deflects assault. To the BRAWLER, a good defense is a great defense, preferring to bide their time before retaliating, waiting for the perfect opening for counterattack - directly conflicting with the school of thought for a Scout. For these reasons, BRAWLERS are hands-down the toughest Class in Memescape.

Examples of BRAWLERS in the story: Howard Daniel Hawthorne, Olivia Knox

Primary Power: Suppress By simply throwing up his arms, the BRAWLER can create a nearly unbreakable shield that absorbs any incoming blows. This ability, like all Primary Powers, is easy to use and effective in a variety of situations. The "blue pill," as it's sometimes called, can be removed; a small portion of every attack does incur a tax on the BRAWLER'S stamina. It is possible to overwhelm a BRAWLER, dropping his shield out of exhaustion. Otherwise, flanking is also viable, as the shield doesn't protect from every angle.

Secondary Power: Project

An experienced BRAWLER can move the shield about, changing it's angle and shape independently from himself. This allows the BRAWLER to protect others, create obstacles, or push away particularly troublesome opponents. This ability is much more taxing than the more passive Suppress Power, and requires a little forethought to use properly.

Mastery Power: Shatter

Barring significant force, breaking a shield is nearly impossible. However, Master's of the aspect are capable of manually breaking the shield. What results is a massive shockwave of energy. The Shatterclap as it's sometimes called by the few who have witnessed it, is extremely violent and carries a huge amount of force. As the most aggressive Power the normally defensive BRAWLER has at his disposal, Shatter does have some drawbacks. Aside from the extreme effort required to break the shield, the BRAWLER will be temporarily unable to summon forth a shield for a short time afterwards.

Passive Effect: Toughness With time, a BRAWLER  develops greater endurance and becomes more resistance to pain; even if you punch through the shield, the actual man is nearly implacable.
