Not so much Miyagi as Juggernaut. Well, if he had a sledgehammer, that is.

The only way I _know_ of is to create a new character and then fight [my character](http://lady-fightypants.mybrute.com/) first, thus becoming a pupil.

For every new level you gain, you get assigned a random bonus. These can range from attribute increases, basic individual skills, animals, or weapons.

There is some speculation that the level up bonuses are assigned anyway, but let’s not take chances, mhm?

Allow me to introduce…

[Sweetums II](http://sweetums-ii.mybrute.com)

6-0 so far. Got Herculean Strength, even. When the time comes to move mountains, do give me a shout.

So, do we actually have to do anything, or just pick an opponent and duke it out, and that’s it?

P.S. Had a hell of a time finding a name that wasn’t taken. I always figured Arch Stanton would be a good online name. Nope, taken. I suspect there’s a character limit, and if there’s any error it just says it was taken. Or is there actually a brute named Hubert the Unsteady?

I had this same problem. Whoda thought ‘Peabody Ticklepants’ would be taken? I found out that there is no limit to name length, but if the name is too long only the first name is used in creating the url. Likely there was another “Hubert”.

My experience is that you just lose faster. ☹

Not quite as dramatic as **Caveat** ’s fight, but I had a bad feeling at the beginning of [this fight](http://not-sparticus.mybrute.com/fight/116478300). I guess Not Sparticus needed to take a bit of a beating before busting out his Mad Shiving Skillz.
