<div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7e/1b/7e/7e1b7ee005017f16263841737ea4ab51.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Sha Wuqing<br/><br/><strong>Species</strong>: Human<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 19<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Sha has ventured away from his Monastic home on a mission of self-betterment. He seeks to strengthen his body, through battle with other martial-artists; his mind, with education and through meeting new people; and his spirit, through overcoming challenges and learning the meaning of what the tennants of his temple truly mean. His Monastic Home preached a message of 'Maintaining a Balance' that was frankly a little mystifying for Sha, who thought that being cloistered away in a mountainous nowhere was not helping maintain the balance of the world.<br/><br/><strong>Schtick</strong>: Sha, as will be discussed in his background, has little experience with real people outside of cliches and stories found in books and told by passing merchants. He is socially dense, not understanding social norms like Money, Criminality, or Prejudice – For better or for worse.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Abandoned on the steps of the Monastary atop a supposedly mythical mountaintop that grows peaches, Sha grew up surrounded by Monks and without any other understanding of the world. They did their best to raise him, and even offered him things like a chance to leave to be educated and seek a life away from the Monastary, but how could a young boy abandon the only family he ever knew? The Monks were touched, and taught the young Sha their ways.<br/><br/>He did well in his early years of training, taking to it with the zeal of youth and its infinite springs of energy. His mentors insisted he learn other skills though, making him study and interact with literature, reading, and writing. His young mind first rejected this distraction from his 'core focus' and then learned to appreciate it and even love it. He was by no means a genius, but he read well and read much, and he learned of the goings on in the world, and how his family – who claimed to seek to Maintain the Balance of the world – had not affected it in hundreds of years of history.<br/><br/>He questioned his Mentors at first, and brought his worries up, and eventually they told him with a smile that he should go out and find the truth out for himself. He was scared, as all young men at the time are, but he did not reject the challenge, and threw himself into the outside world with reckless youthful energy.<br/><br/>That was ten-months ago. In that time, Sha has begun racking up a tally of Martial Arts wins, and beating up ruffians as a sort of bodyguard for hire. Sadly his lack of financial understanding means he normally asks exactly the same for every labour he undertakes, or justs asks for 'What they can give him.' The rumour mill points him towards North City, and its upcoming World Tournament qualifier.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><strong>Power Level</strong>: 260 |<strong>Power Up</strong>: 210<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>Characteristics</em></span><br/><br/><strong>Physical</strong>: 12<strong>Combat</strong>: 14 |<strong>Mental</strong>: 9 |<strong>Move</strong>: 5<br/><strong>Defence</strong>: 60<em>(Physical x 5)</em>|<strong>Hits</strong>: 120<em>(Physical x 10)</em>|<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>Skills</em></span><br/><br/><strong>Fighting</strong>: 25<em>(11+ Combat)</em><br/><strong>Evasion</strong>: 20<em>(6 + Combat)</em><br/><strong>Weapon</strong>: 14<em>(0+ Combat)</em><br/><strong>Power</strong>: 25<em>(11 + Combat)</em><br/><strong>Body</strong>: 23<em>(11+ Physical)</em><br/><strong>Mind</strong>: 20<em>(11+ Mind)</em><br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>Fighting Techniques:<em>While still walking the early paths of it, Sha is a talented practitioner of the Sutōmufurawā Style, or 'Stormflower' Style of martial arts. It blends a few different martial arts with a powerful focus on the spiritual power of living things. Currently, he has only learned a few of the simpler Katas, and is honing his body and spirit for the next lessons of his five senseis.</em><br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Riverbank Fist</em> - A Simple Punch that infuses Ki to make a blow to the user's spirit. [+3 Extra Dice/-3 Skill Cost]</li><li><em>Waterfall Offencive</em> - A quick Combo of Blows to the weakpoints of an opponent, attempting to knock them off balance. [+2 Extra Dice/-2 Skill Cost]</li><li><em>Wave Cutter</em> - A Slower, more Powerful Axe-kick designed to crash an opponent's head into the dirt! [+5 Extra Dice/-5 Skill Cost]</li><li><em>Whirlpool Thrust</em> - The Slowest, and most dangerous attack. It is a three-hit Combo that attempts to first disorient a target, then knock them off balance by throwing them into a spiral of limbs, and finally a kick that is meant to knock them flying. [+8 Extra Dice/-8 Skill Cost]</li></ul><br/>Powers:<em>Perhaps it is too early in his training, but Sha has yet to master the art of manifesting his Ki outside of his body in a solid enough form to create projectiles.</em><br/><br/>None.<br/><br/><strong>Special Features</strong>:<br/><br/><em>Hidden Power Level</em>– A Unique quirk amongst Humans, Sha can Hide his Power Level at will. Not so useful now, but perhaps after a hidden power up it might lead to a great surprise.<br/><br/><em>Sense Powerful Ki</em>– While no master of Ki, Sha can sense powerful Ki levels on a raw and instinctual level. This has helped him spot the real fighters in a tournament from the fakes.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"> (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/8c/71/e0/8c71e001a29b4c6fe6ddd15c5928f166.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a7/fa/69/a7fa6911dd4ca7f05fbedf681450288a.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/83/7a/aa/837aaa5cb42f732bc3d20664c22f45bd.jpg)  </div>
