OVERVIEW

characters in Brutal each have certain traits that they
embody. Like all heroes, these traits are their strength and
weakness.
BACKGROUND

searching for the greatest warriors. He judges not only on
martial prowess but how far they truly possess the "warrior
spirit". Inviting them all to his peaceful island they compete
to see who is worthy to wear the belt of heaven.
Each character represents one of the paths of
wisdom.
Right Understanding
Right Resolve
Right Speech
Right Action
Right Livelihood
Right Effort
Right Mindfulness
Right Meditation
Right Love
Right Attitude
Right Power
The characters are -
Kung Fu Bunny
Thai Cheetah
Kendo Coyote
Foxy Roxy
Rhei Rat
Prince Leon
Ivan the Bear
Panther
Dali Llamma
Chung Poe
Karate Croc
Phycho Kitty
Each of the Characters has his own background and
abilities.
Here are the two found in this demo.
KUNG FU BUNNY
Right Understanding - "To know fear is courage"
Style - Relaxed Paw
He bowed his head in contemplation. Cross legged
he looked for guidance from deep within his soul. "It is in
the nature of things that all good must come from evil and
all evil must come from good." He remembered what his old
teacher had told him. "A white painting on a white canvas is
not a painting at all." Kung Fu bunny nodded slowly at the
wisdom.
The invitation had arrived yesterday at his temple
refuge. Hand written in the Dali Lama's own hand it asked
him to come and fight in the competition once again. Kung
Fu bunny was torn. He had taken his vows of non violence
and yet the monastery was poor and badly needed the funds
the competition could provide. But to compete would be to
break his word to the kind monks who had taken him in and
cared for him when he arrived here injured and hungry, all
those years ago.
He gazed around at the peace of this forest retreat.
Idly two butterflies meandered by oblivious to any concerns
he might have. It was their nature to fly and feed not to
ponder the world. He smiled as he struck upon the answer.
He would enter the competition and fight, if he won the
monastery would be safe for years. But he knew that was
not why he was going , he fought because it was his nature
to fight and reluctantly he realized he could never be free of
his nature.
"A white painting is still a painting, to the painter."
he said aloud and smiled.
The butterflies ignored him and flew on.
WHO PLAYS KUNG FU BUNNY?
You are kind and considerate. Nothing gives you
greater pleasure than seeing how you have helped another
succeed. However you have difficulty making personal
decisions and keeping them. Your desire to help others
comes from your desire for someone else to give your life
direction.
PRINCE LEON OF KENYA
Right Effort - "I have only one judge, the world."
Style - Tan Ku (The Iron Rage)
Leon walked from the jet and waved to the crowd.
A cheer rose from the people gathered and garlands of
flowers were thrown in front of his footsteps. It was good
to be home.
The Limousine raced him to the royal palace where
he was greeted by the servants. His father the king was still
out hunting and would not be back for some days.
"Your highness?" A servant pushed forward a small
envelope towards Leon.
He took it with a nod and opened it. After reading
the invitation he neatly folded it back into the envelope and
laid it on a small table. Moving to a window he gazed out at
the african plains beyond.
"You both will be there won't you?" He spoke to
himself.
Moving to his study he opened a scrap book and
flicked through it. It was filled with clippings of his two
enemies, Tai Cheetah and Kendo Coyote.
"Kendo Coyote to appear in new movie!" The
headline of the New York Informer blared.
"Tai Cheetah invests in Telecommunications." The
Wall Street Journal reported.
Leon pushed the book aside and stared up at the
ceiling.
"I will shame you both as you shamed me." Leon
vowed to himself . For honors sake he would cross the
world and fight, but for prides sake he would win.
WHO PLAYS LEON?
You never forget a debt for right or wrong. You
stop at nothing to even up the score. Your will power is
indomitable howvere you find it difficult to focus on more
than one thing at a time.
ENJOY!
