-====== Background ======+====== Berserker ======
  
 The Berserker is a warrior defined by an unrelenting fury that escalates as battle wages on. Born from a brutal culture that celebrates aggression, Berserkers are relentless fighters who thrive in the heat of conflict. Their rage is not a mystical force or primal power, but a deeply ingrained part of their psyche, a drive that propels them forward with increasing intensity. The more damage they take or the longer a battle endures, the more their fury grows, pushing them toward a state of unstoppable violence. In this heightened state, their strength and endurance surge, but so does their inability to control their emotions, making them a ticking time bomb in combat. The Berserker is a warrior defined by an unrelenting fury that escalates as battle wages on.

 This escalating rage is both a gift and a curse. While the Berserker can become an unstoppable force, their growing anger often alienates them from others, even those they fight alongside. They are warriors driven by emotion, but that emotion frequently clouds their judgment, leaving them prone to reckless decisions and unpredictable outbursts. As a result, their allies might come to fear their presence, knowing that once the Berserker unleashes their fury, there's no telling where their rage will stop. The Berserker walks a fine line between a hero’s strength and a madman’s destruction, always on the edge of losing themselves to their own fury. This escalating rage is both a gift and a curse.
