I like Brooklyn, he's a good pot-stirrer, and that's good for RP! Lei, on the other hand, really doesn't like him right now. ;)<br/><br/>Just to put this out there as it will most likely come up in game, so there are no surprises and 'meta' crap on my end, I know how Lei fights. At least in some broad strokes:<br/><br/>The style Lei fights with is House Fujita's own brand of heavily modified and updated aikijutsu. It's a pure combat style, made for the practical battlefield, designed to kill, or at least cripple, as quickly as possible. Imagine the sort of thing special forces would be taught, except by warrior monks, who train<em>all</em>day,<em>every</em>day, from the time they can walk. Lei is extensively trained with her katana as well, and I imagine even the bow. It's all "fundamental" to learning master yourself, and then to use weapons, from sword to mech, as an extension of your own body (look up "mushin", or "no mind"). This is where Lei gets her "Devil's Eye" from: she's a bit like a zen archer in a battlemech. Her whole life, Lei has been in training to possibly, perhaps, maybe, if she's really, truly, one of The Best, join the Death Commandos.<br/><br/>A little more specifically, Lei's training was focused on speed. She's a pretty small person, so she just really doesn't have the raw mass to hit very hard (Erich being the perfect contrast) unarmed. Yeah, she's strong, and Lei can probably knock out a lot of people, but that's less likely the bigger and better trained her opponent is. So Lei uses speed, leverage (a good joint lock goes a long way) and vital strikes or her opponents own mass and momentum. Or maybe a handy ashtray. This is also why she's so skilled with weapons like knives.<br/><br/>While I am declaring that Lei is a pretty ridiculously skilled warrior (Capellan Warrior Houses are like monk orders, like shoalin mechwarriors), I'm NOT saying she's the best martial artist in the IS, the whole universe, or even just this one little mercenary unit. I'm just trying to give everyone a picture of what Lei would be like to fight in hand to hand combat, since we're free formin' this here game.<br/><br/>Cool? :)
