You have been good at one thing for as long as you can remember; fighting. You understand the nuances, broadcasting, and tells of your opponent. You aren't afraid to take, or throw a punch, and you have a keen sense of when a fight is going to break out. You might have been an urchin, orphan, or perhaps the bored child of some lofty noble. As you reached adulthood, people began placing bets on you whenever you would get into a tavern fight, and through this, learned that a fair amount of coin could be earned simply by putting on a show, and doing what you love: hitting the other person until they stopped hitting you.

Feature: It's five 'o' clock somewhere.
You have gained a reputation for being an able-bodied brawler, and as such you have taken to a life on the road. Through your contacts, you know the names, and most recent owners of any tavern, or inn that would be in a city, or town that is marked on most common maps, even if you haven't visited that location. You can use your reputation to garner deals for better prices, or free lodging with the proprietors of food/lodging establishments, and have become more adept than the average commoner at talking your way out of arrest, and reducing fees for public disturbances.
Suggested Characteristics
The life of a brawler has left you unflinching toward conflict with common folk, and tempered your disposition toward being in the eye of the public, even if you don't enjoy the limelight.
