Gamma World Origins - Brawler

Brawler
You're an expert in fighting more than one opponent at a time
Your training focused on taking on multiple foes at once and making use of makeshift weapons that happen to be at hand.  Perhaps you were trained by a Revered Master in an ancient form of a long lost martial art, or maybe you've just been in a lot of barroom brawls.

Appearance:  Your other origin is going to dictate your appearance -- being a Brawler is more about training than birth (Brawlers are made, not born).  However your career as a fighter has probably left its mark somehow.  Maybe your face is scarred or you're missing an eye or an ear.

Notes:  The Brawler is an implementation of a specific kind of Fighter.  In both 3rd and 4th edition D&D the idea of a "cleaving" fighter who wades into battle and takes on all foes has been a popular one, and this is one interpretation of that idea.  Truthfully this origin was inspired more by Thundarr the Barbarian, and a combination Brawler/Engineered Human might be a good fit a character like that.  Ookla the Mok could also use this origin -- perhaps Yeti/Brawler with the claws re-themed to represent punches or wrestling grapples.
