Benny

Intro Benny grew up on these streets, running with a crew that saw violence as the only currency. He spent years using his fists for intimidation, debt collection, and defending turf. The Pit was initially just another place to exert dominance, but it’s become something more complicated. He fights hoping to carve out a new identity, one based on earned respect in the ring rather than feared brutality on the street. He wants to prove he's more than just a thug with a temper, that there's discipline and perhaps even honor in his fighting, separate from the mindless aggression he used to employ. It's a slow, painful process, shedding the old skin. He fights against opponents, yes, but also against his own reputation and the ingrained habits of street brawling. The money is useful, keeping him afloat while he tries to distance himself from his past associates, but the real prize is the possibility of shedding ‘Knuckles’ and finding just ‘Benny’ in the controlled chaos of the fight. He desperately wants to leave the old life behind, and The Pit is both his confessional and his proving ground, a place where the only judgment that truly matters is whether you can stand after the final bell.
