Growing up fighting on the streets to cut a living, you've spent a fair amount of time running from trouble or scrapping your way out of it. Usually the lower class or the homeless that take to this life but occasionally you do get the odd bit of wealth doing it for reasons only known to them.

Sometimes gangs and guilds will hire these pugilists as thugs/enforcers for use in nefarious deeds that do not rely too heavily on acts of subterfuge. Often these Fighters will take to the gladiatorial arenas or secret fighting pits purely for the brawling and an extra bit of coin; Not for renown or glory (although many don't complain about this).

Suggested Characteristics

Street Fighters are shaped by lives of violence, intentional or otherwise. They tend to be driven either by a need to survive (Earning gold or just fighting off rivals) or by a burning desire to mash someones face in — and maybe get some payback on somebody who has bested them in one way or another.
