History Main / BoisterousBruiser

** Nora Valkyrie from Team JNPR; a PerpetualSmiler GenkiGirl, she is always eager to charge into battle and smack opponents around with her [[DropTheHammer giant warhammer]]/GrenadeLauncher. Her suggestion to deal with Jaune's bullying problem is to break the bully's legs, and even her ImageSong "Boop" includes lines like "We'll crush our enemies, bring them to their knees".

* In ''WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC'', the [[Franchise/SpiderMan Green Goblin]] serves as a wacky, but evil Boisterous Bruiser for the villains in Season 1, but becomes a wacky, ChaoticNeutral Boisterous Bruiser for the heroes in Season 2.

He may start out as an antagonist or as some kind of obstacle to our heroes, but he will usually be charmed into joining the heroes' side after witnessing their courage and determination (or he may just decide to throw in with them on a whim or if they both have a mutual enemy).

He — since [[TheLadette female Boisterous Bruisers are quite rare]] — will usually not be part of a formal army (unless serving under a KidHero). More often the Bruiser is a mercenary-for-hire or the leader of a band of thieves. Or the leader of a band of pirates. Or the leader of [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits freedom fighters]]. Or all four at once. If he's an {{anime}} character, he will inevitably have a KansaiRegionalAccent, and will often be HotBlooded and use ''ore-sama'' as his [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns personal pronoun]]. He's like a really obnoxious but likable SupportingLeader. He's almost always a LargeHam.

He will spend most of his off-time at the tavern, partying hard, knocking back tankards of ale or cups of sake, and getting into fights. The StraightMan, TheSmartGuy and TheChick will find him annoying or scary, but everyone else will think he's a total hoot, and these three [[DefrostingIceQueen will probably warm up to him anyway]]. His tales of his prowess can be a little exaggerated, but those who assume he is [[MilesGloriosus all talk]] will have a surprise coming. He tends to laugh often, and is rather fond of giving rookies a hard time or [[SmackOnTheBack playfully patting weaker characters on the back with enough force to send them flying across the room]]. (The NaiveNewcomer may not realize his strength because he does not look like a bodybuilder; StoutStrength is common.) He might show affection through bone-crushing {{Bear Hug}}s.

A common character in {{RPG}}s and action shows, the Boisterous Bruiser is a fun guy to be around. He will often be part of an ensemble and will most likely be TheBigGuy in a FiveManBand (specifically, their Class 3), although he tends to be a bit more boisterous than the usual archetype who plays that role. If he's not TheIdiotFromOsaka, he will at least tend to act bumpkin-ish and crude. If he's [[DumbMuscle as dumb as he is big]], he will at least have had enough life experience to dispense sage and world-wise advice to the KidHero whenever he needs it.
