"I steeped my hands in blood. I gave into the very rage that scorched Thao. My brother was murdered that day so I could survive. That was the price I paid for freedom." - Zhao

Name:
Zhao Lei Fong

Theme:
Price of Freedom

Age:
24

Gender:
Male

Nation of Origin:
Thao

Persona:
"What do you know of freedom!? It'd be the very first thing you'd strip away from us if you had everything your way. I will not allow that! Not now, not ever!! It's our fate to bow before you and accept your rule? Of all the bullshit I've heard in my life, that tops the list! We'll stand, we'll fight and we will succeed! And the person who stands before me and says "you have no chance" is the bigger fool. Because if that really is our fate then I'll crush that fate and you along with it!" - Zhao

Zhao has repeatedly shown himself to be and been described by others as a complex man, mainly because he completely disregards any and all rules and prefers to live as he dictates. He believes passionately that everyone is born free and should do and say what they want to; no exceptions. He has even gone as far as to say that remaining silent when you have a view or a conflicting opinion on a matter is the easiest way to crush your own willpower, because he argues that the only thing it creates is submission. That's why he speaks his mind so casually and also why he encourages others to as well, even should he be speaking to the greenest recruit or the wealthiest noble. The personal view that everyone is born free is quite dear to him as well, as he prefers his own freedom rather than being shackled by fate, stating anyone can change their future. All they have to do is make the decision to try and they already have. This singular belief has allowed him to alter not only his own fate in the past, but that of his family. Zhao literally took twenty years worth of mistakes and placed the weight and consequences solely on his own shoulders, once having stated that a lesser man would've been crushed by such a burden.

Zhao possesses a very sharp intellect and has good observational skills, as seen from his ability to gauge his surroundings, noting both mundane and unusual things, people and actions. This allows him to quickly notice if something is not as it should be, as shown from how he can easily see through an opponent’s tricks. He uses his skills to stay one step ahead of his enemies and is one of the reasons why he is an accomplished combatant.

He is willing to sacrifice people or kill in cold blood, in order to complete an objective, and will most definitely turn on old friends if they become corrupted. Zhao will also use unwitting allies to further his goals, if it allows him to accomplish his tasks more easily. He can handle stress extremely well and it is impossible to use torture to extract information from him, due to his strong will.

Equipment:
Serpent Coil - The Serpent Coil is an item stolen from an assassin. This device is a gauntlet with a hidden stiletto blade hidden on the underside of the forearm. This could be used for silent kills or hidden kills from a crowd allowing for The Wolves (Assassins) to make a kill and vanish within the local populace, however the blade had several unique and interesting features. The first being the thin cable made out of Micain Steel threads that reached 10 feet plus an extra 2 feet with the elastic like stretch the cable possessed. In combat the blade could be used as a hidden counter attack or as a razor sharp whip allowing the user to keep their distance while stripping flesh from bone. Zhao now uses it as a counter attack weapon, whip and assassination tool for when his normal methods are too ostentatious.

Ability/Magic/Technology:
"To call Zhao a prodigy would be an insult. Not even a master could bare the potential that lies within him. We can only hope that Zhao never realizes this." - Zhao's Master

Enhanced Physical Prowess - Through all the hellish training his master put him through, Zhao is at peak physical condition, as evident from his well-built muscular frame. With his strength, he's been known to demolish fortifications without ki and can go higher while using it. In battle, he repeatedly demonstrates immense agility and flexibility. He is able to contort and shift his body stance to effortlessly change his attack patterns and strike from various angles. He is also a remarkable acrobat, able to easily do flips and other acrobatic movements and scale various terrains. Zhao is also shown to be highly resilient, able to take a deep stab wound to the chest and sustain great blood loss yet still continue fighting effectively. His prowess is shown to be naturally so high, that it is hard at times for him to hold back.

Biology - Mainly a self taught skill but Zhao has great knowledge on the biology of various creatures and monsters that populate the regions in and around his home.

Natural Martial Artist - Having studied under his previous mentor in mastering his body to better his abilities, Zhao can harness the power of his physical prowess in employing a wide variety of martial arts to his benefit. Zhao can employ a wide variety of styles and merge them into a fluid and free-style like fighting style, capable of holding his own against masters of individual and singular martial arts. From moving as limber and fluid as the wind or water, to being as fierce and swift as lightning or the earth, Zhao has a variety of martial combat available at his disposal.

Natural Art
Iron Body Technique - By circulating ki through out his body like an electrical system, Zhao can passively make his skin and bones as hard as iron. This technique can stand its own against many different attacks though that depends on the force of the attacks or kind of weapon that is wielded against his body. Unfortunately he cannot control his organs' density and he can only provide the property of iron I.E. one of the weakest metals. It has been seen that piercing attacks have a far easier time penetrating him.

Fierce Tiger Strike -
When Zhao withdraws his left hand, the flow of Ki changes. Hence, in order to use it the practitioner must change the Ki-Flow and use a heavier Ki. Zhao then punches forward.

Full Body Barrier - The back of Zhao is turned towards the opponent. A protective large circular distribution of Ki resembling a shield is created and the opponent who comes in contact with the Ki is forcefully sent flying backwards.

Ascending Blue Dragon Strike - It appears to be just a simple palm-thrust technique against the opponent. However, it is a palm strike enhanced with Ki and its effect is powerful enough to leave a silhouette of Zhao's palm on the opponent while sending him several meters backwards.

Gale Wind Destruction Strike - It is a Ki-strike with the whirling like effect that sends the receiver of this technique flying while whirling around like a spiral. A direct Ki is supposed to cause slow internal bleeding.

Thunder Strike - It focuses around the skill to gather and concentrate a large portion of one’s Ki into the fist. The gathered Ki strengthens the fist enough to result in a powerful strike. All of the different variations of this technique result in some kind of electric aura forming around Zhao's hand and in some cases the preparation for this technique causes a kicking up of dust around Zhao’s feet.

Lion Devastation Roar This is a surging punch in which Zhao's ki is focused into and through his palms. As his palms are thrust outwards towards the target, a surging energy wave is expelled that results in a punching force traveling through the air in the opponent's direction. Zhao will usually be immobilized for a short time after performing this move, leaving him vulnerable to counterattack.

Soul Crushing Strike - The Soul-Crushing Strike is a Ki strike intended to deal internal damage. Most of these techniques are not very strong as their intended targets are weak points such as organs. The Soul-Crushing Strike, however, is has been shown to be powerful enough to break iron. It is characterized by a full extended arm and an explosion of Ki directly in front of the fist.

This juxtaposition of power and control makes it an especially challenging and dangerous technique to master. As such it is said that few people in the present age know how to use the Soul-Crushing Strike and this has proved true as Zhao Lei Fong and his master are the only people alive that have been seen using it. At the precise moment of the fists impact with its target, the Ki circulation must be properly timed or the attack will fail and the user will feel the burn of improperly released Ki on their fist. This technique can be recognized by the sonic boom it makes when used.

Black Origin Threshold - A secret technique learned from his master. It is a technique derived from the Black Heaven and Earth Technique. However unlike the Black Heaven and Earth this technique fuels it's power from emotions especially rage, because of this the user gains a strange form of Ki which causes the user to gain a huge power boost, a dark powerful intimidating aura, along with some sort of steam or smoke to come out of his or her mouth. Though this technique is very powerful it has a side effect, which makes the user's entire ki become reversed causing the user to lose himself in a frenzy of blood lust, because of this, the Black Origin Threshold is a forbidden technique. Despite it being forbidden the Black Origin Threshold has become a technique feared by Thao. The only two living users of this technique are Zhao and his master.

Additional Info:
Zhao once met a young Kaien girl during his youth that left a mark on his personality, stopping him from being the bloodthirsty brute that most of the Thao Warriors turn out to become.

Zhao has a dojo within Thao that is rather well known. It possesses the title of the Black Heaven and Earth Dojo.

Post Example:
Sounds of cheer and joy filled the air of the arena. The stands were full with the people of Thao. Violence was the past time that was loved in this hellish nation. It was almost like the citizens loved to watch other people in pain. No wonder Doniaeth and Kaien thought everyone was nothing but brutes. They cheered for the man that had bested all his opponents. The man that had stopped at nothing to kill each and every fool that thought they were as gifted in the art of combat. That man was Zhao. He stood before the final obstacle in his path of unwavering conviction. The Black Heaven and Earth Dojo grandmaster would make his second mark in the history of Thao; the first mark when he showcased the Black Origin Threshold in his first tournament appearance.

"I'll bury you and your Dojo." The Brute stated.

Zhao could only smirk at his outclassed foe. There had been some respective opponents but this Brute wouldn't be one of them. Reactions kicked in, Zhao took a step inward and moved his head to the right to dodge the Brute's fist. A quick hay-maker collided with the Brute's gut causing a ripple throughout his body. The Brute winced in pain leaving himself open for a moment. Zhao took control with a heavy roundhouse that let him dig his heel into the Brute's neck. Pain. It shot throughout the Brute's body. Ki circulated throughout Zhao's body as he prepared for one of his favorite techniques.

"Bury this." Zhao remarked with a grin.

Zhao threw his right hand back with an electric aura super imposed upon it. Dust levitated around his feet from the gathering of Ki within his body. The sheer amount of Ki within his right hand was impressive and undeniably dangerous. His teeth clenched, eyes white with determination and fist closed, Zhao yelled out "THUNDER STRIKE!". At that very moment his fist collided with the Brute's chest right over his heart. The strength of Ki increased his strength to the point of the impact causing the Brute's heart to stop almost instantly. The crowd feverishly cheered for their champion. Zhao simply placed his hands in his pockets and awaited for the future of his Dojo.
