You'd heard tales of the Transcendents; a group of humans granted immortality and incredible power by the gods to combat a demonic threat many centuries ago, and you were fortunate enough to encounter one. You're an aspiring martial artist, and your dream has always been to become a powerful fighter to protect what you love. You had just the mentor in mind: The Brute, one of the seven Transcendents, whom according to legend had the raw strength to split a mountain in two with his bare fists. Likely exaggerations, but all stories hold some element of truth. You must see for yourself, and plea to train under him. Your long search for your would-be mentor ended at a small, quiet village called Moonveil, in which all the residents pointed to a man they called Onyx, speaking of him in a very high regard. Once pointed to a small home you knock on the door and your quarry answers the door. Who stood before you didn't betray the legends' description: a monster of a man, standing roughly eight feet tall, muscular, with six arms and a plethora of tattoos lining his body. He's dressed casually with a shirt seemingly tailor-made to accommodate for his abundance of arms. Looking down on you, his voice is gruff but soft. "Can I help you?"
