If I have to explain this to you, I don't think we can be friends.

Instead of a paragraph, I just want a list of some simple personality traits!

Make sure to explain in detail why your character is becoming a Nomad, and what they hope to accomplish.

Explain how your character fights. Describe their martial arts training (if any), and describe how their moves generally look. Do they fight aggressively by getting up close? Do they zone their enemies? Also put any special abilities they have here.

What are the weaknesses of your character? Are they bad at up close and personal encounters? Do they suffer from an illness? Or do they have a pathological weakness?

What else?

Margot carries herself with a distinctly aristocratic air. While her beauty speaks for itself, her height is something of note, as she stands at nearly six feet. Thankfully, she has the money to make sure that whatever she’s wearing fits her. This includes her now trademark blue fencing outfit which evokes the swashbucklers of old, complete with a wide brimmed hat, a fox-shaped mask, and a cape. While these all serve practical purposes (Keeps the sun out of her eyes, vision enhancement, and weather protection), the only other practical concessions to her dangerous lifestyle is a recently added lining of kevlar and practical shoes.

- Analytical
- Dramatic
- Driven to the point of stubbornness
- Generous
- Self-Sacrificing
- Quick to Snark

Margot’s family can trace their national service back to the days of the Musketeers, where they served alongside the actual Athos, Aramis, Porthos, and D’Artangan. Since then, at least one member served under the crown of France. When the Revolution came, they were among those decimated by the Reign of Terror. Still, when France needed them, the Coudray family answered. The family had members march on Moscow under Napoleon, fight in the trenches of Verdun, and help push the Nazi’s from Paris.

This tradition of civil service has imprinted itself on Margot. While not as militarily inclined as her forefathers, she is still a powerful fighter in her own right. She’s taken up the business of vigilantism under the title “Renard Bleu”, keeping alive the ideals of the Musketeers by defending the weak. However, Renard proved to be a controversial figure as many saw her as a symptom of a society plagued by fear that did more harm than good with her theatrical antics.

Eager to prove her prowess to the wider world, she has competed in fencing competitions all over the world. This brought her fame and fortune, but it was a matter of time before people started comparing her to the (in)famous “Blue Fox of Paris”. They were both women around the same height. Both spoke perfect English with a French accent. It did not help that Renard had a tendency to appear in cities where Margot competed.

The final nail in the coffin came when she was shot while stopping a store robbery while competing in New York. While she managed to foil the robbers and get away, the wound was serious enough that she should have gone to a hospital. Instead, she hid the injury, hastily stitching it up before going on to compete that night. During the fight the inevitable happened. The wound reopened during her first match of the tournament in front of an audience. She was forced to explain how she’d been shot, and by extension her vigilante identity.

The uproar was immediate, if mixed. Almost immediately, she was barred from most ‘respectable’ fencing leagues. Those that supported her for her vigilantism almost matched those who condemned her extra-legal activities. She and her family came under intense scrutiny. Realizing that her family would not know peace while she stayed with them, she struck out on her own. Now she travels the world living off her (sizable) winnings, forced to embrace her new identity as a modern superhero..

Typically Margot wields two blades, a rapier in her main hand and a parrying dagger in her off hand. In normal fights, she keeps the sheathes of her blades on, only exposing then when a fight gets serious. Until that point, they act like a pair of clubs, albeit pretty ones. This also gives her extra reach compared to most other fighters.

A world class fencer, Margot wins fights by controlling when and how she moves into striking range. Always mobile, she often attacks and moves in one motion. When possible, she tries to follow up an attack with a combo to press an advantage. She uses her fighting spirit to reinforce these techniques, using it to augment the speed and range of her lunges as well as enhance her mobility.

■ Coupe-rose (Rose Cutter)

■ Fouetter (Whip)

■ Le Saut du Chat (The Cat's Leap)

■ Riposte

■ Six pétales de lys (Six Petals of the Lily)

■ Attaque Vengerrese (Gale Strike)

■ Tempête d'épées (Storm of Swords)

■ Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno (One for All, All for One)

Margot's fighting style has a tendency to over-extend. If she misses with her initial strike, she has difficulty following up and is left open for retaliation. Additionally any character that can keep her close will have a definate advantage over her, especially once they get within the range of her sword.

- She swears up and down that she was not thinking of Zorro when she came up with her vigilante identity. No inspiration whatsoever.
- She's a big fan of fantasy and sci-fi, and often reads bad genre fiction to unwind.
- She is polyglot, fluent in both French and English while also knowing Spanish, German, Chinese and Japanese to some extent.
- She actually has a degree, BS in Economics from Ecole Polytechnique.

Otsana is an inumimi, meaning that she has a wolf's tail and ears. Her body is covered in scars and tattoos, the most notable of which being a large cross shaped scar on her face. Clothing wise, she wears what could loosely be called 'military' style clothing. Olive green tank tops, shorts, and a crap ton of holsters. She claims that her skimpy clothing is because she is used to much colder weather, which she is, but more than one observer has noted that her clothing leaves others a bit hot and bothered.

Otsana carries several guns and explosives. Otsana uses her guns both as melee weapons and as ranged weapons. She switches between dual wielding one handed weapons and using her machine gun. Her only melee weapon is actually a spare barrel for her machine gun, which she can swap out in seconds. If the one currently in the gun has gotten hot from continued firing, she can actually use that hot barrel for a more devastating melee weapon.

Her ki enhances her senses, strength, and durability, letting her use her guns with extreme precision. Additionally she's developed an unusual technique of channeling her Ki through her weapons, putting the 'fire' in 'firearms'. All her shots look like tracer rounds, but are actually miniature fireballs.

■ Everything at Once

Because her different attacks require her to switch weapons so often, anyone that can catch her off guard will be at an advantage. Furthermore, several of her two handed attacks use finite resources that she cannot replace during a fight. She doesnt have any notable movement options; even though she does use her grappling hook for an attack, she has no way to quickly reel it in.

Additionally she is prone to excess when indulging, giving an opening for foul play. Finally, as theatrical as she is, she often has difficulty in actually finishing people off.

- She wears hearing protection in her ears, which also double as wireless headphones. They are pretty unobtrusive, and keep her from blowing out her eardrums from all the explosions she causes.
- Despite her reputation, she does take pains to avoid hurting innocents, and has a soft spot for kids. She actually gives large portions of her earnings away.
- Yes, she and Margot clashed in the past.

Jaden certainly has a presence to him. He's tall (at six-five), muscular, and confident. He has the ability to draw the attention of an entire crowd with his voice alone. Though, he definitely has that cockiness to him, from that shit-eating grin, to the way he walks. Jaden is a loud, and spastic person that definitely hard to predict, yeah. One could easily identify him as a Nomad from his attire - mostly the blades that he carries around on his being, and pouches. He has two katanas strapped to his back, his two mainstay weapons, and a larger katana at his waist, a sword given to him by a friend. And his most important weapon on his other hip... his mic. He definitely looks like trouble, but fortunately, he's on the side of the good guys (in his own special way). Jaden usually wears jeans, or slacks of some kind, with a T-shirt. Jaden is definitely African-American, with his dark-skin, thick lips, and African skull shape. He speaks with a thick urban accent.

■ Cocky.
■ Arrogant.
■ Has a strong sense of justice.
■ Likes rapping and music.
■ Snarky.
■ Trickster.
■ Adventurous.
■ Headstrong.
■ Short-sighted.
■ Loves Freedom.

Jaden was born in the good old city of Philadelphia! Where they signed Declaration of Independence, fitting for a dude like Jaden who loves his freedom! Jaden was born to a wealthy family that had tons of oversea business to attend to, and that meant lots of traveling for the Raldo family. Though, Jaden was a particularly rowdy kid growing up. Getting into all sorts of danger and confrontation growing up, all over the world, baby! This lead him to being restricted from going along with his parents, and instead confined to his family's mansion in Philadelphia. And the family's servants were instructed to keep him contained at all costs. They could barely hold him back. It was instead decided that he needed an outlet for his energy.

They contacted an old friend of theirs... Sensei Hirokazu. Hirokazu was a ninjutsu master that was a good friend of Jaden's father. After bribing him with a lot of money, they got him to take Jaden under their wing, and train him, and otherwise keep him out of trouble. And after a few really good Japanese language classes, Jaden was whisked away to Japan.

At first, Jaden was annoyed that he was sent to live with some old fart, then he warmed up to the idea of becoming a Ninja! Until he realized that being a ninja was a lot of work, he had to do all sorts of arduous training. From meditating in the woods, to meditating in the dojo, to meditating on top of a mountain. There was so much meditation, and so little cool ninja stuff. However, this training was helping Jaden develop his ki, and in a manner of a few years, Jaden had developed a load of ki. And the results of his training had turned Jaden into a very competent ninja, a master of stealth and badassery.

However, while he was training under Sensei, he learned about Ki, and what it is. Sensei told him about his own innate ki, and tried to teach Jaden one of the first steps to manipulating ki, sensing. It was a basic technique to Sensei, but a challenge for Jaden.

He was told to look into himself for the answers to his question of why he can't learn Ki. Sensei sent Jaden to places to live alone until he overcomes the hurdles inside of himself and become one with the world. From the Brazilian Amazons, to Siberia, Jaden was forced to survive alone, and meditate, as he takes the first steps to mastering ki. The epiphany came to him upon being sent to the African Sahara, and sensed a pack of hyenas... dispatching the hyenas, Jaden realized that he has learned to sense ki itself.

Returning to Japan, Jaden was congratulated for his discovery, and was accepted into the next level of his Ninjutsu training. Jaden felt proud of himself, but began to grow dangerously arrogant. At this stage, Jaden was sent on actual missions by his Sensei, basically behind the scenes peacekeeping. Such as defeating local crime-lords, and stealing stolen artifacts.

But, everything changed once his Sensei told him to retrieve an ancient weapon from one of his old rivals: Jotaro. The weapon was the legendary sword Murakumo, stolen decades ago. The relations between Hirokazu and Jotaro stemmed from the time they were mere students of the same master, and Jotaro killed their master to steal the legendary sword. It was a task of the utmost importance, and Jaden was instructed to never use the sword under any circumstance. He took it seriously as he usually does; not at all.

Infiltrating his compound in the mountains was easy... but, he blew it at the last second, and revealed himself to Jotaro. He got viciously thrashed by the ninja master until he grabbed the legendary blade Murakumo for himself, and slashed Jotaro with it. The overwhelming power of the sword allowed Jaden to defeat Jotaro with one slash... only to lose himself to the sword. He went on a rampage, destroying the compound with the blade. After his rampage was cover, he managed to collect himself, and realize what he's done.

He darted back to his Sensei's compound... only to find his Sensei, Hirokazu, dead, with a blade driven through his heart. Jaden quickly left, only to find out that he's been framed for the theft of Murakumo all those years ago, and found Japanese authorities coming after him. He escaped from Japan with Murakumo... but, there was a few questions that Jaden had. Starting with who framed him even though Jotaro and his goons were beaten to a pulp? Along with who killed Hirokazu.

With assassins and various other warriors after them, Jaden ultimately decided to become a Nomad. He became a roaming warrior that did work for the highest bidder... but kept his principles above all else. He refused to harm innocent people, instead just go after other crooks. While searching for clues as to who his master's killer was (so far he's found absolutely nothing).

All while promoting his killer rap album, "Taste the Sword."

Ninjutsu, baby! Jaden is practically a ninja. Jaden employs a modified version of it that makes good use of his high-ki. Jaden uses it to zip around the battlefield, doing hops, flips, and even teleporting! To put it simply; Jaden possess a lot of high-mobility techniques that lets him close in on opponents, while having plenty of hard hitting moves that take the enemy out quickly. Though, Jaden uses less stealth and discipline, and more of the heavy hitting moves. Such as kicks, chops, and more importantly, Jaden's swords. He doesn't carry around those katanas for show! He knows how to use those blades really well, and slices with speed and precision to cut stone. Jaden can also channel his ki into these blades to increase their strength and durability. Whenever Jaden uses this technique, he infuses the blades with ki, and they are surrounded with light. Now, Jaden also possesses the legendary Japanese sword Murakumo... which is a powerful weapon infused with a lot of ki, but there is a spirit residing inside of it. Should Jaden use it, he will lose himself... but, he'll have amazing strength. Jaden also knows the ki-sense technique.

Billy would readily describe himself as "Purty for a crocodile man", though being the only one of his kind makes this comparison fairly useless. Billy's most immediately noticeable feature is that he is a six foot reptile, wearing little more than pants and a pair of thick leather suspenders. Billy is nearly one ton of scale, muscle, and fat, whittled into an impressively brawny physique through years of rigorous hunting and battling. His skin is a pale mossy green and hard to the touch, with long bony spines from his shoulder to the end of his tail, and a softer, more fleshlike yellow underbelly. His smile is a constantly shifting, regrowing mass of sharp teeth, and his eyes are a distinct golden. He wears clothes of his own design, hobbled together from salvaged armor of slain foes, scraps of fur, and bits of hide he manages to scavenge, all sewn together with leather boot laces and twine. As his body is almost entirely armored in hard scales, the only armor he wears are steel kneepads and gauntlets meant for reinforcing strikes in combat.

- Rude
- Jovial
- Kind of Gross
- Confident
- Republican
- Uncouth

William Ulysses Brackish was hatched in a small swamp in Louisiana, with neither the name nor capability for thinking he has today. Billy was a completely ordinary crocodile, save for his large size and penchant for eating the hauls of crayfish traps, and like all animals was unable to utilize ki, chakra, or any energies of that kind. For the first half of his life, Billy lived out his life in this way, basking in the sun by day and hunting whatever was slow enough to become prey by night, occasionally getting his claws on an unlucky human or smaller crocodile. He was a ferocious predator, known in his local swamp as "Bayou Billy", though his notoriety only extended to a warning sign sticking out of the mire.

This changed one fateful morning when Billy came upon a drunken hunter who had passed out in his duck hunting blind the previous night. He remembers little of this day -- as all of the memories of the morning were made with his primal reptile brain -- though the one memorable detail he has held onto was a strange tattoo on the man's right hand and an old-fashioned feathered hat on his head. After unceremoniously devouring the hunter, tattoo, hat, and all, Billy felt a strange feeling overtake his body, and promptly passed out. When he awoke, his physique had changed to a more humanoid shape, with powerful arms and legs in place of his short, aquatic appendages. He had gained not only sentience, but fragments of his victim's knowledge and personality, as well as a strange otherworldly connection with the swamp around him. Billy gave himself a proper name and began walking on two feet, speaking the difficult language of the fleshy-folk that lived outside of the swamp and living as a man should. He built himself a cabin of driftwood and metal scraps of airboats, cooked his meals on a spit, and began honing his newfound strange abilities.

Since then, Billy has had remarkable success as a travelling worker, either in freakshows or underground fighting rings. He lacks dazzling technique or crowdwinning charisma, but what Billy lacks in finesse he makes up for in being a giant lizard with swamp powers. And giant lizards with swamp powers sell seats. His work in martial arts and sideshow exhibits net him more than enough to live comfortably, which for Billy, means near-homelessness. He does not know why he chooses to be a nomad, though he knows it is what he wants. For Billy, doing whatever he wants sort of comes naturally.

In a word, Billy is a cheater. His personality is the mixture of natural crocodile instinct and a powerful hillbilly shaman, so Billy is not exactly one to aim above the belt. Bites, scratches, gouges, improvised weaponry, anything is fair game to Billy. Although his teeth and nails usually do just fine, he keeps a small dirk strapped to his leg for instances where he needs some cheating, and has a few voodoo tricks up his sleeve for when he needs a little more cheating. To be fair, Billy fights to the death, and cheating wins fights.

Like all crocodiles, Billy is quick and deadly up close but lacks any ranged capabilities and is slow when moving or turning on dry land. Opponents who can strafe around him, fire at a distance, use ki blasts, make use of projectiles, or otherwise stay out of Billy's claws can quickly tire him out. In addition, those versed in crocodile biology might know to hold his mouth shut.

✦ Billy voted for Bush, McCain, and Romney, but could not bring himself to vote for Trump.

✦ Billy has a pet possum named Bo Diddly.

✦ Billy's consciousness is the result of eating a ki-absorbing redneck nomad. The excess energy this nomad had was transferred to Billy, giving him a mental awakening of sorts. Just go with it.

✦ Billy has served time at the Folsom City Penitentiary, where he killed two men for a pack of cigarettes and later escaped through the sewer.
