<strong>name:</strong>Bolormaa, nicknamed "Boki" ((Pronounce the vowels harshly))<br/><br/><strong>age:</strong>18<br/><br/><strong>gender:</strong>Female<br/><br/><strong>kingdom:</strong>The Mongolian Empire<br/><br/><strong>societal rank or occupation:</strong>Traveling Warrior<br/><br/><strong>weaponry:</strong>Boki possesses no melee weapons on hand, but she does carry a traditional Mongolian bow for when she hunts or, in rare cases, engages in ranged combat.<br/><br/><strong>abilities:</strong>While lacking any abilities or attacks that require chi to work, Boki's internal energy is very strong. Thanks to the countess hours of wrestling with wild horses and camels, Boki has developed her body and inner chi to be just as powerful and wild as the animals she tames. This untamed power passively affects her in multiple ways, such as making her body incredibly strong and resistant to damage. It also allows her feel other people's chi when she makes contact with them, which helps her to take advantage of their momentum to make the most of her fighting style.<br/><br/><strong>special attacks:</strong>Almas Swing: Boki grabs the collar or shoulders of her opponent tightly, and swings him/her around in a circle with great velocity and force. After a few swings are made, Boki throws her opponent with great effort, propelling them with amazing speed in any direction she chooses. A move that utilizes great strength and speed, getting out of this technique is difficult once Boki has taken hold. Her grip is strong and puts a lot of weight on the user, helping her control her opponents by putting pressure on their shoulders. Stopping both the swinging and the throw is also difficult, given how fast the opponent is moving and the amount of force Boki puts into the throw. The main downside of this technique is that it's hard to get a hold of a healthy and expecting opponent, as the execution of the technique is rather slow and predictable.<br/><br/><strong>fighting style:</strong>Boki is a veteran user of Mongolian Wrestling (Bokh), but uses a slightly modified style to stand a chance against martial artists. While Bokh is considered to be a dangerous art when in the right hands, its lack of striking techniques and sportman-like nature make it a poor style to use against more sophisticated styles. Therefore Boki modified the style to incorporate physical strikes that act as lead-ups for her throwing techniques, as well as lifted the ban on touching the opponent's legs with her hands. Other than these changes the style retains most of the core techniques. Bokh is a style that requires a great amount of physical strength and durability to overpower the opponent while utilizing technique and the opponent's own momentum for the best results. The style is very destructive for both the opponent and the environment, and even the weakest of throws could end with something being broken.<br/><br/>Boki is also a skilled archer, although she rarely uses these skills in favor of direct combat.<br/><br/><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong>Unlike most women in Mongolia or China, Boki is no petite flower. On the contrary, her body is much more stout and unladylike, which could come across as looking very strange and alien to people who have never ventured outside of China. Despite only standing at a rather short 5'0, Boki's body is a representation of her physical strength, complete with thick arms, wide hips, developed curves and large thighs. Her skin is slightly tanned from the average Chinese woman and covered with calluses and scars, primarily on her hands and feet.<br/><br/>If one could look past her thick and powerful frame, one might actually find that Boki is a rather cute girl. Her eyes were like those of a child, large and filled with mischief and glee. Her high cheekbones and wide smile make her look more innocent than she actually is, but nevertheless reflecting her sweet and optimistic personality. Her round head is topped by crudely cut and unkempt hair as black as a moon bear's fur. She keeps her hair in small ponytails near the back of her head, further adding to her cute appearance. She is usually seen with a wide grin on her face when she’s happy, or in a small pout when she’s upset. She has a small nose with vague freckles scattered across its bridge and across her cheeks.<br/><br/>When it comes to clothing, Boki can't be picky. As she is a traveling adventurer, and a growing one at that, she tends to use simple cloths as clothing, using just enough to cover her breasts and legs to look "acceptable" in the rare cases she's in a civilized area. She is usually seen wearing rags of dull browns and greens, typically covered in dirt. She wraps her breasts and shoulders in a thick green cloth, leaving her stomach and arms exposed. She uses a longer piece of tan cloth to use as a type of skirt. She covers her hands and feet with ratty, worn out cloth as well.<br/><br/>((I don't have a picture that accurately represents what my character looks like, but I had Samantha Wright (http://piximus.net/media/14065/samantha-wright-probably-the-prettiest-weightlifter-in-the-world-12.jpg) in mind when it came to the shape of her body.))<br/><br/><strong>in my heart of hearts:</strong>Lighthearted and determined, Boki is a girl that comes at life with an optimistic personality. Her energetic and quirky nature lead many people to believe that she is hotheaded and self-destructive, which isn’t a complete misconception considering she’s always getting beaten up in fights or harsh training exercises. Her quirky and happy-go-lucky personality can be very uplifting to many people having a bad day. She enjoys helping people and making them just as happy as she is, so she does her best to be respectful, polite, and enthusiastic when not fighting. Even when in combat Boki doesn’t hide the fact that she’s enjoying herself, but is willing to put her respectful demeanor aside to get the most out of a battle.<br/><br/>Boki is rarely seen to be angry or upset, but tends to get sad and mopey when having a long string of bad luck. Like all people Boki has her bad days, and tends to feel down from time to time. She is very self-pitying and loves to receive pity from other people, so she may go out of her way to make her woes apparent for everyone around her. She is rather submissive despite taking pride in her strength, and can develop an inferiority complex if she loses too much.<br/><br/>Things that Boki enjoys is eating (specifically meat and candy), playing, sparring, training, animals, being happy, getting sympathy, attention, strong men, older men, children (especially babies), romance, the rain, and adventuring. Things that Boki doesn’t like are vegetables, lectures, whiney people, women, people who fight dirty, makeup, loses that make her look bad, being angry, hot and/or humid places, and people who don’t like meat.<br/><br/><strong>my dark past:</strong>Boki hails from Mongolia, a country bordering China in the surface of the earth as far as the eye could see, accompanied by thick white snow covering both the mountaintops and the land below. In the year Boki was born, Mongolia was plagued with an extremely harsh zud, or a time of great snowfall and temperature drops that result in widespread death of livestock. Her family’s livestock died very quickly, and her family followed soon after from starvation and cold. After her mother died, Boki was adopted by her uncle Tomorbaatar, who was a successful athlete and a master of the “Three Manly Skills,” which consist of horsemanship, archery, and wrestling. When he took custody of Boki, Tomorbaatar made a bet with his colleagues that he could train Boki in the Three Manly Skills and make her stronger than any man, which was something that was believed impossible by Mongolians as it was concluded that only a man could use those skills. With great confidence in victory Tomorbaatar’s colleagues agreed to the bet, despite it going against many centuries of tradition.<br/><br/>Boki started her training when she was just an infant, and suffered many hardships as she grew up. Her days were filled with exercises to train her body in strength, speed, and endurance. She learned how to wrestle from countless hours of sparring with dummies and livestock, who were usually twice her size. She would also spend many hours standing in a cold field practicing her archery skills, even in times of low visibility and high wind. For a very long time it seemed that it would be impossible for Boki to become a successful practitioner in the Three Manly Arts, let alone become the best.<br/><br/>But under the watchful eye of her uncle, Boki grew into a respectable wrestler by the time she was 13. To everyone’s surprise (save Tomorbaatar), Boki surpassed everyone’s expectations. She was able to hold her own against wrestlers almost twice her size, and her accuracy with a bow was spectacular. And no one expected her to tame a horse through wrestling, which was considered the final trial a boy must take in order to become a man. By passing the trial Boki had proven that even a woman could become a warrior, as well as won her uncle a bet.<br/><br/>Because her training ended after her uncle won the bet, Boki left Mongolia for China well into her 13th year. There she strived to become stronger than ever, and one day return to Mongolia and become the strongest person ever to master the Three Manly Arts. China was a whole new world compared to Mongolia: the air was warm and snow was replaced with beautiful greenery and strange animals she never seen before. She was introduced to the world of martial arts and immediately became fascinated by the interesting ways of fighting. She challenged many masters and, while losing to most of them early on, learned many lessons in discipline and humility. It was the Mongolian way to always get back up after you fall, so she made a reputation for herself when she challenged martial artists daily until she won a match. With each passing year she became stronger and more experienced, and was able to hold her own against fighters with much more sophisticated ways of fighting.<br/><br/>Carrying only a bow and the clothes on her back, Boki continues to wander China to this day, searching for adventure and opportunities to grow stronger. She trains herself using extremely harsh (and self-destructive) training exercises, while constantly challenging new opponents to fights in order to make herself stronger.<br/><br/><strong>plot line:</strong>She doesn't really fit in too well, but I would like her to have a role in the story.<br/><br/><strong>theme song!:</strong>The Best Theme Song EVER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM)
