 +**Fury Domain** characters channel raw physical intensity—whether through focused inner discipline or primal emotion. They thrive in the thick of battle, pushing through pain, fear, and exhaustion with sheer willpower. Unarmored but resilient, they use controlled aggression or unwavering resolve to strike hard, protect allies, and keep going when others fall. Whether their fury comes from a warrior’s code, a sacred rage, or a need to prove themselves, these characters are at their best when the fight is personal and the stakes are high.

-**Fury Aspect:** Choose one Aspect. This Aspect powers your Fury Features, including *Unarmored Resolve*.+At Tier 1, Fury characters begin to master their inner fire. They fight unarmored but grow harder to wound as their chosen Aspect enhances their defenses. They can trade composure for aggression, pushing themselves with Stress to strike faster or shrug off pain. This tier introduces the foundation of their combat style: relentless, reactive, and unshaken by fear.

 +At Tier 2, Fury characters embrace the edge between control and collapse. Their heightened Stress becomes a source of strength, sharpening reflexes and driving their strikes.
