Onyx

Onyx: A star falls.

Pain. Dull and throbbing. A daze of blurry lines. More pain, sharper this time. Her nose. Probably broken. Shit. The blurred lines clear slightly, and the rookie see's the champ.

And then theres another fist to her face and she's sent reeling backwards. Fuck that smarts. Skidding to a halt, the rookie spits blood, a tooth, damn, to the side and shakes their head, clearing the arcing lightning that dances through their eyes. Back on target, back on focus, just like pops taught ya.

One foot forward, another, keep your arms up, keep moving, start to weave, take another step, throw that first punch. Missed, shit, the champ got their gaurd up, fuck, that's ok, just keep the momentum. Next hit, weave, this one lands, good, again, repeat the motions, just like pops taught you.

Another hit, this one to the guts, the champ drops their gaurd, good. They're big, that's scary, but you're smart, you can use that to your advantage.

Take a step, weave the other way, throw that fourth punch into their side, make em flinch. Duck their arm, punch the same spot, the EXACT same spot. The champ flinches harder, good. Fight smart.

Step on their toes, they're off balance, push em back, they stumble. Now you got em. Duck down, punch their knee, crumple them. They're at face level, throw a haymaker into their face and their DOWN down. You did it. Just like pops taught you.

Onyx Ore, The Brawling Bragart.

Coming from the cities of the old world, she was a young girl when she first saw her idol fight. A gladiator named "Millstone", with an undefeated record. Watching him fight inspired her to take up the sport, learn to brawl.

Her father disapproved, thinking it too violent, but seeing as she kept getting into fights around town, even at her young age, he thought it best to teach her. Onyx didn't know how her father knee what he did, but he taught her well.

By the age of 15 she was brawling in pit fights. By the age of 18 she was in the gladiatorial matches. She went down, she got back up and she fought harder.

At the age of 20 she was being called a star rookie, and she started her career as a celebrity fighter. Still now, at 22, she chases the dream set by her hero, and hopes to make her father proud.
