The Field of Battle: Clover Basin-A dried up river basin that was once a watering hole that would usually flood whenever it would rain. As time went on, rain was much less frequent, to the point where it never rained again. The area is now a five foot deep, 50 feet across, and 35 feet wide crater in the middle of a desert. The current time is midday, the sun very high in the sky and few animals scurrying across the surface of the sand.

My Character
Name: Orso Von Forza
Age/Birthdate: 35 years old/June 9th
Hometown: Bravewood
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Anthropomorphic Grizzly Bear
Height: 7 Feet tall
Weight: 500 lbs
Eye/Hair Color: Brown eyes, brown hair with gray tips
Appearance: Orso stands at seven feet tall and weighs in at 400 pounds. His fur is mainly brown, along with having tips that are tinted an ashy grey color. His right eye has a black eye patch over it, but there is a diagonal scar that happens to still stick out from behind it. He has a muscular build and can easily walk on his own two legs, despite his age. He wears a simple, iron fauld with the flag of his people as the cloth covering. He also wears a pair of iron gauntlets and a pair of iron greaves to accompany his gauntlets. He prefers not to wear anything resembling a shirt, feeling it restricts freedom.
Personality:Orso is generally a kind-hearted man who always loves a good battle. During battle, he can become serious within seconds, but is far from it after a couple drinks. He is also a strong believer in personal freedom and always vows to protect the rights of others. Orso is protective as well, but only protects those he sees as either unable to fend for themselves or those who are at a serious disadvantage, others not really being worthy of being under his protection. Orso is also known for his leadership skills and for selflessly throwing himself into the middle of armed conflict. The one thing he loves most is seeing young warriors grow stronger and stronger, one day hoping to meet a "child" who can surpass his strength.
Skills/Talents: Wrestling: Orso's stocky and muscular body is a huge contributor to his choice of fighting style, the fundamentals of wrestling and hand-to-hand combat. He is one of the champions in the fighting league that his people hold every year, making him one of the strongest in the entire race of his people.
Mind and Body Arts: Orso's people were the first to develop a solely physical art that is also benefited from one's control over their mental health. Others find this to be a very basic and easy-to-master art, but Orso still has pride in his people for developing this kind of art.
Mind and Body Art: Prideful Body- When the user's mind is in a prideful mindset, his body will react by providing a sudden burst of energy that increases not only his speed, but also his alertness and his mobility. The user is covered in an aura of lightning yellow while this move is in use.

Master- The effects last for a maximum of 30 minutes.
Mind and Body Art: Soul of Stone- The user can activate this defensive power by putting himself into the mindset of anything connecting with the Earth, from a basic boulder to a towering plateau, resulting in increased defense, but unable to move while activated. A dark brown aura appears around the user when it is in use.
Novice- Defense is only slightly increased and user must remain still.
Intermediate- Defense is significantly increased, but weighs down the user to decrease speed.
Master- Defense is highly raised and offers the user full mobility.

Biography: Orso Von Forza was originally born in one of the strongest cities in the world, Roccia, well known for its military strength and their barbaric society. His parents began training him at a very young age, the same with his pair of older brothers, wanting them to become the most powerful fighters in the entire city and eventually all of their people. At this time, Roccia was very peaceful and under the rule of a series of military generals.
However, the generals lusted for power and eventually made it a goal to crush all surrounding cities and villages, making Roccia into an empire rather than a city. To their dismay, Roccia's primitive technology led to its demise, the people enslaved and forced into combat for entertainment. The arena was his new home, the citizens of Roccia now forced to live there under the harsh rule of prison wardens when not engaged in combat, both armed and unarmed. This was where Orso learned and mastered the arts he currently knows and became strong.
The men who organized the matches knew very well who belonged to which family and often had family members fight for survival against one another, brothers being forced to kill brothers, fathers kneeling to the will of their youngest sons, and even mothers being forced to fight daughters or sons, sometimes even lovers being forced to murder the other. Orso was forced into combat with both of his brothers, overcoming both of them with relative ease.
After years of fighting combatant after combatant, Orso and the 300 other survivors were forced into fighting all at once, the arena being slippery with the bodies and gore of the dead. Despite the rough odds, the now 16 year old Orso and 24 other warriors were released from the arena, the job of the stadium being fulfilled. As Orso looked at the defeated faces of the fellow survivors, not one of them looked happy to be alive. Orso began thinking the same, his family's blood now on his hands, along with other clansmen he was forced to slay.
The survivors then rebuilt the city, making it for and by the people, governed by a parliamentary government. The day that was the beginning of their imprisonment was now Roccia's, or now renamed Bravewood, was now their independence day and was dubbed as the beginning of a worldwide fighting tournament without killing. Bravewood would later become a place of peace and yet have some of the strongest warriors available.
In order to show the strength of Orso's people while still maintaining peace, he established a business dedicated to the protection of others, while still being able to fight back whenever necessary. Orso himself, after years of looking over Bravewood, felt it didn't need him anymore and instead became a mercenary, which led him to fighting in countless battles, making him a renowned hero. This "mercenary" position led him to a caravan job, thinking it would be a rather peaceful journey.
