Description

The fist of their legacy that his brother rejected, fool that he is.

Wolfgang has embraced the darkness of their heritage, and rather than flee to the martial arts of the normal world he has studied it, embraced it, and under the tutelage of his master he ascended beyond any holder of the art, and in doing so. Killed his master and the entire dojo that he had learned the art in, ensuring that no other would ever rise from its ranks to challenge him again.

Afterward he was approached by a strange man wreathed in shadow, who offered him a simple deal. Accept the darkness within himself and nurture it even further, this, he did readily. The darkness coursed through his veins and in doing so his skin was darkened and his eyes turned blood red in recognition of his demonic power, but. The man told him there could be more. All he had to do was prove that he was indeed superior to his brothers way of thinking, though with Fonzie T. Buck dead a new challenger had to be arranged.

Lucas Steel, master of the fist of the gentle wave. Defeat him, and he would have truly risen to become the greatest martial artist.

System

Passive, always in effect. Unarmed attacks will do +1 more damage, and Brawn does not act as Armor against them. The target's other Armor is Fully Effective.

Unlike the Ability Brawl, this Power does not affect small weapons such as knives.

Enhancements

Precision Strikes (You may use Dexterity instead of Brawn to Attack and Defend. If you would successfully incapacitate a target using Finesse, you may opt to knock them out for one hour instead of having them suffer an Injury.)
Armored Fist (You cannot take Damage from attacking a dangerous material (such as steel armor, a spiked carapace, or an acidic blob). You may Defend against melee, projectile, or firearm attacks from any range and Clash with those in range of your attacks.)
Bullet Parry (You may use a Reaction to Defend against any Melee, thrown, or projectile Attack in range of your Attacks.)

Drawbacks

Maddening (Possession of this Gift causes a Trauma that cannot be cured by any means. The chosen Trauma must be likely to come up on a Contract.)
- Trauma - Roll mind at difficulty 8 or laugh maniacally after killing an opponent in unarmed.
Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
- Object - Combat Gloves
