Feral Mercenary (Samurai/Barbarian)

Living engines of destruction, the feral mercenary is one who takes to the battlefield not for riches, glory, or any other cause, but for the sole purpose that battle and strife are all he has ever known. These brutes push themselves beyond mortal strength, allowing them to wield blades greater than any man could ever hope to. They also push themselves beyond mortal endurance, enabling them to survive countless injuries and many hopeless battles. They fight against mortality itself, in hopes to one day stand before and challenge the gods themselves. (Original Concept by Taco Man)
