Hyce Crancie (ヒース・クランシー, Hīsu Kuranshī), romanized as Hyce Grancie in the English Fan-Translation, is a fictional character from manga series of Koukou Tekkenden Tough.
Personality[]
Hyce is normally a timid, withdrawn, and slightly neurotic person who seems to exist in a perpetual state of anxiety. His timid nature has caused him to have trouble urinating before every fight due to nervousness, but it also works to his advantage, as he is described as somebody who would never let his guard down or hold back, even against a child.
He will refuse to eat due to being afraid of puking, and rarely looks his opponent in the eyes. Despite this, he is a determined individual with extreme confidence in abilities, that not only will refuse to run away, but will tell his opponent he will kill them.

History[]
Koukou Tekkkenden Tough[]
Five years ago, Hyce Crancie, a man nobody feared, defeated one on one the greatest combatants in a tournament with no rules. With three straight years of consecutive wins, the whole world started to understand just how far ahead of the competition he was as he crushed everyone. He is currently fighting with his brother Gordon over the succession of the family since their father Emilio Crancie died.
Hyce fought Mark Hamilton during the fourth match of the T.D.K. As he was heading towards his match, he came across his brother. As they walked passed each other, Hyce stopped and told Gordon that despite his cowardice, he had become stronger than him. Hyce proved to be the far more skilled combatant by immediately trapping and paralyzing Mark in a hold. Despite Mark's superior strength, there was nothing he could do as Hyce slowly wore him down before getting him in chokehold which Mark got out of by shoving his finger into Hyce's eye. His brother ran into the ring demanding that Mark be disqualified even though Mark's corner man claimed it was unintentional. Disgusted that the ref wasn't going to do anything even though eye gauging was the only illegal move in the T.D.K, he took Hyce to leave with the crowd calling them cowards. However, Hyce decided to keep fighting. He tried to convince him not to let the crown sway him, but Hyce wouldn't listen, stating that he was no longer scared and wanted to fight.
Though he wanted to show the world that the Crancie Jiu-jitsu had the best collection of fighting techniques on earth, it was obvious he hadn't full recovered something that Mark quickly took advantage of. Even as he was being mercilessly pummeled, Hyce ignored Mark's attacks and continued to try and grapple him. Even when he fell to the ground and blood gushed from his nose and mouth, he continued to get back up. Scared at just how determined Hyce was to keep fighting, Mark went in for the kill only for Hyce's brother to throw in the towel before he could.
However, even after Mark was declared the winner, Hyce refused to stop fighting. His brother tried to pull him off but it wasn't until Gordon came out that he was finally knocked out.
Abilities[]
