Hey yo! I got an idea, how about a new way to sort individual brawlers into categories? This was obviously first in the random thread, but feel might as well just have a single thread to discuss it. This could spawn new ideas for threads and interesting ways to challenge others to grudge matches (Requesting brawl HQ, berserker only plz). I just thought it was a fun way to do things.
Brawler Archetypes
Brawler - Basic brawler, has super natural abilities. Independant, usually humanoid.
Sub-Brawler - Super natural abilities, dependant; can't use it's power without a peripheral. Ex. Charlie
Support - Non offensive, usually just defends themself/others. Ex. Messiah.
Non-Brawler - No supernatural abilities, distinctive civilian than a brawler. Ex. Mr. Henry, Chief
Brawler Classes
User - Tends to use a key item for their powers. Ex. Madgamer, Markus
Caster - Supernatural using abilities. Ranges from conjuring to blasts. Ex. John12346, Spawner
Berserker - Purely uses brute strength than the help of their powers. Powers most likely come in the form of strength. Ex. Abigor
Morpher - Changes physical or mental form. Ex. Cutlass
Archer - Long ranged based attacks. From throwing knives to guns. Ex. Captainchip, Gunsmith
Monster - Non-humanoid based. Attacks may vary. Ex. GURF, Pirahna Man
Leader - Uses connections to control a large mass of organisms. Ex. Zarth
Fighter - Fighters use non-special items to fight, such as swords, chains, blunt objects, etc. May be skilled in their weapon of choice. Ex. Eddie the Rocker, Maid 284
Controller - Takes control of objects, organisms, etc.
Pacifist - Doesn't fight unless threatened.

Sure lets go for it. Also make a list of the types of brawlers in the Op so you can organize all the brawlers into their respectful places.
MVG cant do this alone guys. He may think your brawlers may belong in one category while you think they belong in another, you guys need to discuss this stuff.
Zarth: Main brawler, Leader
Tookman: Main brawler, Caster
Zekain: Main brawler, Archer ( though he may fit into the leader category too, he leads a fleet in the GK empire.)
Pulse: Main brawler, Fighter
Perma-frost: Main brawler, Fighter
Bolt: Main brawler, Fighter
Inferno: Main brawler, Fighter
I forgot if I have any other brawlers in my rosters. I'll have to go back and look.

Also, categories may be revised, so yeah. If you think I missed anything, throw it out there. Zarth, I don't think you understand what "fighter" was. Fighter is for people who don't really use much but normal items to fight with, like scythes, TVs, poles, etc. Or just really punching someone to death. half your roster is also missing |

To be honest i don't really see the point into sorting them, it adds nothing and i don't think anyone reeeeaally cares.

As I said before, Eddie doesn't really belong into any of those.

I dunno why you guys worry about sorting brawlers when we don't have a good way to search through them. :x

Wacko - Attack patterns are highly unpredictable. Strategies focus on dazzling or outfoxing opponents. Gadgets, etc. Or to be more practical, "Trickster". |

Well your characters are pretty overpowered then. I think what he means is that Aiden is somewhat caster and fighter, being in the fact he uses a scythe and also has the shadowy blasts. Shackles is similar in the fact that he uses his red to make tentacles and from what I've seen he's created some type of explosion at least once, and uses the white as defenses and to attack like a fighter would. Balto could also be similar seeing as how he can become a huge brute and punch things, as well as shoot aura blasts like a caster. You could even call him a morpher if you wanted to think of his forms as such a thing. I could come up with a lot of examples actually. |

Shackles falls under caster.
Are you implying that Balto isn't overpowered?

Also how are Tvs considered normal weapons to you? and I know that my roster is half missing, im just to lazy to make new pics/ search for the old ones right now. |

As in ordinary items, with no specific magical properties. Your "element brothers" will fall under "user". |

Eddie the Rocker - Brawler - Fighter
Bzorkir - Brawler - Controller
Anna Miles - Brawler - Morpher
Hank W.S Horton - Brawler - Archer I'm not sure about Hank being an archer seeing as how I've never actually used him in a fight and settled on how he's supposed to act. But otherwise everything here seems right  I don't care much about the categorizing itself, but it does lead to some interesting discussions, so I thought I'd join the fun |

My list:
Brawlers:
Gunsmith - Archer
Chimera - Morpher
Bloodlust - Morpher
Oasrt - Caster (though that hardly does him justice I feel)
Mr. Handy - Leader
Parody Man - Morpher
Mr. Henry - Leader (yes I'd argue he's actually a leader-class brawler rather than non-brawler)
General Spleencarver - Fighter/User (though user is iffy considering the weapons aren't special until he changes them)
Shiakiri - Berzerker (maybe we should just make a robot class?)
Neonistis - Berzerker/Caster
Sierra - User/Fighter
Support:
Med-Bot - Caster/ROBOT
Sub-Brawlers:
QQQQQ
Non-Brawlers:
Dr. Dark
Christopher O'Neil
Does this mirror your observations?

Brawlers
John12346 - Caster
Spike - Monster
I was mulling over whether or not I would put Spike into Pacifist, but ultimately I had decided that, if I ever "truly" get back into this site, and I somehow end up using Spike again, I'm steering him far away from that passive-aggressive bullshit that I pulled in One Week Battle, because it caused a lot of unnecessary dialogue, and I'm pretty sure it annoyed a lot of people to put up with what I was doing anyway. Hell, even I got really annoyed with myself when I read OWB over again.
That aside, the Pacifist category is really iffy, because, if the point of the thread is to assign one class to each character, problems arise because it's very possible to have a nice array of powers for a character, but also satisfy the "Pacifist" role at the same time.

Sir Emo- Fighter
Gertrude- Fighter
Chain Twins- Fighter
Chippy- Controller
Metalhead- Caster/Fighter
Gyree- Beserker
Cackler- Morpher/Caster... kinda, I guess.

I think Angel is the only one I've seen that works good, but it's usually just because all of us just end up fighting for her (likely) virginity. Or at least ONE kiss. |

seriously, until we have a reliable database (oh, I dunno, like an actual mysql database?) there's no reason to think of sorting brawlers, especially for easy searching, because you CAN'T easily search them |
