Teary Goro

No accessory. Maximum presence. The Shirtless Runt fighters decided that bare skin is its own kind of armor — visible, deliberate, impossible to mistake.

He carried a spear through more wars than he can count and outlived nearly every man in his line. He buried brothers by torchlight and never broke — the tears came later, all at once.

Wild, electrified. The Zapachi fighters' hair moves independently and the fighter has accepted that this is appropriate.

Fermented projectile. The Beer Splash fighters found the most abundant thing in the Dojo and weaponized it.
