Throughout the large span of time there has been warriors who excel at certain aspects of combat. Whether it was sheer speed, brute strength, an impeccable defense or a grand intellect. With these types of warriors on the field the battles became much more then just who has the largest sword; it became a battle of strategy where only whose who could use there personal types and the types of there allies will survive. Now, more than a thousand years into the future since the birth of combat nothing has changed, and the battle still depends on the combination of warrior types to defeat an enemy..... So what type are you?

 Speed Type Type Description
The typical speedster specializes in quick, well calculated attacks with hopes of overwhelming his opponent with enough force to end the fight before it even starts. In order to accomplish this, one's weapons and battlefield armor must be light and easily maneuverable.
As reason and logic would have it, those excelling in speed naturally draw upon his endurance a great deal. As such, it is impeccable for each speedster to realize his limits and work to break them. The more you run, the more able you are to run longer. That's how endurance works, so naturally a speedster will have a heightened sense of endurance as opposed to the other types.
The types of weapons a speedster may develop typically take the form of knives, daggers, short blades, tonfas, pistols, or any other light weight, single handed, quick use weapon, but remember, as all Buso Renkin, the weapons ultimately depend on the personality of the user, and the effects of those weapons are only limited by the user's imagination.
The speedster's mind must also be able to take in and process information at a heightened rate. Taking in his/her surroundings provides the speedster with the capability to better utilize his speed in order to dodge incoming attacks. Quick reflexes and high end reaction time make up for the lack of defense. A speedster's reaction time can range from dodging a swift jab to evading bullets fired at close range. A high end speedster, with enough effort could possibly outrun an explosion from a bomb starting at the source.

 Strength Type Type Description
Those specializing in offensive strength have trained their body and their Buso Renkin to inflict the highest amount of damage in as few moves as possible. They are typically the brawlers of the bunch. Bigger is better. Their strength can shatter things from boulders to buildings to small mountain ranges.
A brawler's weapon is usually large and requires both hands to wield effectively. Claymores, hammers, axes, cannons, bazookas, rocket launchers. Again, bigger is better. Some strength types need nothing more than their fists. If their Buso Renkin allows for increased strength and durability, who needs anything else, right? As always the weapons ultimately depend on the personality of the user, and the effects of those weapons are only limited by the user's imagination.
A brawler's only real defense is the effectiveness of his/her defense. It's typically a good idea train in how well he deals with pain. Some use it as a stimulant, allowing them to enter into a berserker state of being. Others work to incapacitate their opponents before they even get the chance to fight back. And then there are those who simply invest in different armory equipment to aid in their defense. How you deal with the issue is completely up to you.
Now there's a running joke about brawlers being brawlers because they're too dumb to do anything else. That's not really a fair thing to say, but there is some merit to it. You won't find a brawler working on sharpening his mind as much as he hardens his body. There's going to be some give and take between the two, but please realize that not all brawlers are dumb bricks.

 Defense Type Type Description
Those specializing in defense have trained their bodies and their Buso Renkin to endure the harshest of struggles. These are our tanks. The best of the best are known for surviving bombs capable of leveling city blocks. In forcing their enemies to waste their energy on trying to bring them down, they themselves conserve their energy until the moment is right for them to strike. Taking a “slow and steady” form of battle.
A tank's weapons can range from the well aimed precision strikes of a handheld laser weapon to an insanely large, high powered, wide area clearing cannon. Some tanks are even known for using their armor as a weapon. In many ways, they're comparable to the brawlers in terms of fire power, albeit not as strong. The main difference between the two groups is to the tank, size doesn't matter.
As stated above, tanks are well known for mitigating damage and surviving long engagements. As such, most tanks wield Buso Renkin that take the form of large, heavy duty armor. The armor can come in all shapes and forms. There have been tanks that used their Buso Renkin to form energy constructs to serve the purpose of shielding, some have formed armor in the likeness of the knights of middle earth, others go for the more advanced look and form armor in the likeness of a mechanized exoskeletal suit.
However, with all these armor type weapons, a large portion of the user's speed suffers, but the speed is not really missed. Using their intelligence, tanks have found plenty of ways around that drawback.

 Intelligence Type Type Description
They are the thinkers, the tinkerers, the engineers, intellectuals, and futurists. They have worked to seek to understand. They have spent the majority of their life learning and growing. In training their mind, they achieve higher levels of greatness. With their knowledge, they form the battle strategies. Without our intellectuals, the Alchemist Regime would have fallen long ago.
Specializing in intelligence isn't for everybody. It takes those with a sharp mind. Someone who can take in a world of knowledge, sift through it, and find solutions to problems needing to be solved. Sure, there are those who are naturally gifted, but gifts are only as good as the amount of effort put into using it.
The types of weapons Intellects forge with their Buso Renkin are usually the most creative ones. Anything from a cape to an exosuit to a glove. It matters not, they always find a way to use it to the fullest. Intellects can find ways to play up on either their speed or defense, finding unique ways to fight off their enemies, while careful not to exhaust too much of their strength. Mind over matter.
While any intellect is well capable of fending for himself, where he really shines is in a group or team. The more options and members he has to accomplishing a task, the quicker and easier that task gets done.

+ 10 Intelligence
+ 2 Speed or + 2 Defense
