The Brawlers are one of two super-factions (being composed of two groups of six characters and five items) that The Maverick encounters during his misadventures. They play similar roles to Martial Artists and Pirates in that they usually rely on close-ranged physical attacks, yet suffer from fighting afar or durability. In short; simple, not sustainable. Like the soldiers, their items are interchangeable within the two factions, each fulfilling a specific purpose to their user. Their representative colors are Magenta (not Pink!) and Orange.
History 1 (Magenta)[]
Self Defence and Street Fighting are either conflated or confounded, but are both synonymous and these people are usually prime examples of what to expect. Add in some science experiments, guns, Qi, and a Maverick, and the results are what you would expect: over the top action.
The Baxian gym (named after the Taoist Eight Immortals), a school of discipline and strength has fallen under hard times. In its heyday, there were hundreds of students formerly from their banner, some becoming famed stunt actors or masters in their own right, but now there are only four students tending to its twelfth generation master, Samuel So.
One day, a mysterious girl, Delva Sattler, sought refuge in the gym. She is on the run from "The Organisation" and is also looking for her father, who has disappeared amidst all the chaos. With her, an elixir of immortality, from the mythical Fountain of Youth lost in time.
With the strength of a Lion and the discipline of a Qilin, the Baxian now equip themselves with new allies to protect their new-found friend from her enemies at all costs.

History 2 (Orange)[]
The Organisation/Zaidan is (for the lack of wording) a shady science and criminal organisation. Their origins are dark and twistingly mysterious, but they seek a corporate approach to global domination by fueling proxy wars between political parties with arms trade while to create their magnum opus: their Ubermenschs, ultimate lifeforms that function with the aid of human genetic engineering by using animal genes and cyborg programming. Despite evidence that they have been a more recent formation, they have hidden in the shadows and already gained control within politics, economy, ideology, culture, commerce, and the military industry, as well as sowing discord within the environmental causes.
It has been rumored that Dr. Sattler, father of Delva Sattler was involved with the experimentation and development of Dinosaur genetics (in the Science sector). The original plan was that they can both de-extinct and weaponise these Dinosaurs, as well as using the same research and gene for their supersoldiers. Dr. Sattler however, had cold feet and promptly gone to grounds once he discovered the true purpose of his research, not helping the fact he was forced to co-operate against his wishes in the first place.
To make matters worse, when his daughter had obtained water of immortality, she became the leverage point in the battle between the fate of humanity, as the water became a valid commodity for The Organisation. To prove their point, hired thugs from The Organisation were sent out to kill Master So to force her out of his dojo. They failed, but they did succeed in wounding him, invoking the wrath of his students, and the vexing of a mysterious individual known as The Maverick.
