Bruiser

Chapter 3 First appears in:

The Ascendants

A group of Ascendant archaeologists—former LYS members, all of them—happened to observe a demonstration of the first trained armored Bruiser unit. They were silently mortified at what their society had become. None had the courage to resign, however.

Like freight trains lumbering right through barns and houses, imposing Bruisers form the ‘human siege machines’ of any Ascendant frontline offense. Burly and steel-willed, their pragmatic usefulness in the field is multi-faceted. The portable shield unit powers their personal field armor, granting the wearer not only 360° protection from most forms of impacts but also enhanced power lifting to buttress metal slabs or crumbling debris nearly three times their own weight.&nbsp;Bruisers are expected to employ combat strategies from their previous experience as professional pugilists or fencers – their cunning in battle is not to be underestimated.&nbsp;

We hid, but Claude had a machete and made a stand. He subdued three but his blows just bounced off of that... that minotaur.
