BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
Brown is a weary and worrying figure with sickly pale skin, dull brown hair, and dark bags under her rotten brown colored eyes. The girl has a very gaunt, but very fit athletic figure with well toned muscles. On her back are blackened lines, like darkened blood vessels, covering the length of her spine and radiating outwards across her whole back. The lines can be seen front as well, with some of the dark lines peeking up over her shoulders slightly.
Despite looking like a girl about to enact some violent massacre Brown is usually seen with a smile on her face. Her genuine happiness and positive attitude doesn't mesh well with her appearance, making her look even more threatening and unnerving then normal. Her typical nomad attire is made up of a hole ridden brown jacket, a belt in place of a bra, camouflaged khaki pants with a belt and shoulder straps, leg wraps, and battered leather boots. In a fight Brown typically ditches her jacket or any other chest wear other then what's covering the mosquito bites passing for her boobs.

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
Brown was the result of two powerful Nomads getting together to create a heir worthy of both of their names. Runsu, the Japanese master of the “PUNISHING FIST” and Vegra, founder of the School of the Tranquil Wave fighting style, had been in fierce competition with each other since they were in high school.
It was only after a rare heart to heart did they find their feelings for each other as well as their desire to pass on their teachings and strength to a child.
Ditching the complexities and responsibilities of getting married, the two went to work and in just a few months Vegra had a fully developed ball of life growing inside her. One trip to the hospital later and the vessel which the two Nomads intended to lay all their legacies on was born.
Or so they thought.
It didn’t take long after their daughter’s birth to realize that something wasn’t right. The baby was pale, scrawny, cried constantly, and had dark lines like blackened nerves radiating along and outwards from the spine. Upon taking her to a medicine man the two knew it was revealed what their daughter had.
Senshinobēn or “Warrior’s Bane” was a hereditary disease/birth defect that was infamous for enfeebling the offspring of otherwise flawless fighters. Instead of inheriting the Ki of their parents, those inflicted with Warrior’s Bane were born with Ki levels lower than even that of regular untrained people.
Since the blight was simply apart of who their daughter was, there wasn’t any means to cure or ‘fix’ it. Yet Runsu and Vegra wouldn’t hear any of it. They refused to accept that there was anything wrong with their daughter.
In vein they attempted to train their infant child, pushing her from the moment she could walk to be strong and excel in what they were good at. Yet as the years pressed on and their daughter grew older, her Ki levels remaining absolutely feeble, the two began to lose patience.
During these years of frustration the two came to an agreement over what to name their daughter, something they’d clashed over for constantly until that moment.
Shippai.
The Japanese word meaning failure.
Because that’s all she was to them. One big failure that took up years of their precious lives and just served to mock their efforts to be remembered as powerful fighters.
At just 7 years old the little girl didn’t fully understand what the name they gave her meant, but it didn’t take long for her parents feelings to become clear. One day they woke up Shippai and took her out on a hiking trail far away from their home, far away from everything. Finding a bench along the forest path her parents told Shippai to wait there and left.
They never came back.
For two days she sat and waited for them. Eventually hunger forced her to leave, but she was unable to find her way back home and became lost in the forest. Collapsing amidst the moss and fallen leaves, the little girl was found by a one armed women with fox ears. The women was Matsu, a Kitsune and former nomad who’d been on the rise just a year prior before a match with a particular individual ended with the loss her her arm and the end of her career as a Nomad.
Getting the lost girl something to eat Matsu helped Shippai make her way back home. Upon returning to her house however Shippai found the door locked and through the window she could see it was totally empty.
A nearby realtor explained that the owners of the house had sold the house and it’s contents before separating and heading off to parts unknown.
No number, no message, no remote hint of where they could be. Shippai’s parents were gone.
Abandoned with nowhere to go the little girl didn’t know what else to do but fall to her knees in front of her former home and cry. Unable to bare the sight before her the fox-eared women took the girl back to her home and adopted her as her own.
The first thing Matsu did with her new daughter was give her a proper name. Shippai's old name was thrown away and from then on Matsu began calling her Kasshoku meaning “Brown” like chocolate, hardy fall leaves, and the life giving soil.
With a new start on life Brown was able to put what happened to her behind her for a while. Living with the kind and loving Kitsune healed her wounded heart. The women, who had no blood relation to her, gave her all the things her parents refused too. Affection, understanding, gifts, and a true sense of worth and appreciation.
Even when Brown failed, Matsu never scolded her or berated her. All that waited for her when she did something wrong was kind words and concern for her well being.
Her parent's faces faded into distant memory as she began to go to school and live a normal life in Japan. For a time Brown could hold her head high and smile. Yet as she met difficulties in school and began to get picked on due to her strange appearance, what her parents believed her to be came flooding back.
A failure.
A weakling.
An inferior pile of flesh.
Just the idea of being born automatically lesser than everyone else angered Brown. She began to get into fights at school and her grades suffered. Seeking an outlet Brown began to physically train herself. At first it was blind training, pushing herself, punching trees, burying herself in pain and strain in order to forget her problems.
Matsu eventually learned what was troubling her and offered to help train her. While the former Nomad’s own style was too Ki-based to be used by the blighted girl, she was able to point her in the right direction to develop her own style. Starting with exercises with a Yo-Yo her adoptive mother had gifted her their first Christmas together, Brown slowly grew into a warrior.
Her muscles hardened, her resolve bolstered, and her poultry almost nonexistent levels of Ki expanded. They were still meager even after a decade of training but the fact they’d expanded at all was a testament to Brown’s hard work. When she turned 18 years old Brown left her home in Japan and began to wander the world, seeking to expand her horizons and learn all she could.
Brown fought in back alley brawls, underground cage matches, and in simple grudge matches against gifted fighters flaunting their natural ‘talent’. At first she earned nothing but bitter losses and the taste of her own blood. Yet slowly she began to accumulate wins, pushed harder and harder to succeed and grow as the memory of her parents actions festered inside her.
Many of the people she faced on her journeys tried to convince her no matter how hard she worked, there were some things she simply couldn’t do.
Those people ended up choking on their own teeth with crushed ribs and arms broken like popsicle sticks.
At twenty two years old Brown decided that she would prove her parents wrong. She would become a strong Nomad. The strongest Nomad. She would fight and leave people born ‘better’ than her on their knees crippled and robbed of the gifts they mocked her with.
Brown would make her parents regret what they did and admit they were wrong.
No matter who had to die for that to happen.
Steeling herself Brown got ready to join a fighting tournament in Jio. However Matsu’s instance on making her a packed lunch (which turned into several dozen) caused her to miss the sign ups and the initial rounds of the tournament itself...

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES
FIGHTING STYLE
SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES
SUPER MOVES
WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
Brown’s fighting style is vicious and wholly unrestrained, emulating traditional martial arts to a degree but ultimately boiling down to self-taught bare knuckled improvisation. She focuses on largely Ki-less fighting balanced around close quarters fighting and the swinging of a Yo-yo with a particular use of hard contact strikes over energy based attacks. Closed fists, elbows, knees, and even headbutts, anything to drive into the enemy to make them hurt. Her moves have a balance of reach and verticality, with her Yo-Yo allowing her to strike at enemies who might otherwise be out of reach.
SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES
■ [Warrior’s Bane]
[One of the only good things to come out of being a diseased weakling. Thanks to the nature of Brown's hereditary illness her Ki is naturally more difficult to sense. This passive 'ability makes regular Ki-sensing and similar techniques that revolve around seeing, locating, or feeling Ki are largely ineffective against Brown.]
■ [Fresh Blood Surge]
[Through direct overclocking of her adrenal glands and liver, Brown can detox great quantities of her blood while flooding the fresh blood with adrenaline. This allows her to flush poisons out of her body and burn off any anesthesia or sleep inducing substances introduced or exposed to her body. (Usable once per fight)]
■ [Heddodibaida "HEAD DIVIDER"]
[A vicious grab breaker move where upon being grappled, Brown lurches forward or backwards and delivers a headbutt straight to the face of her opponent. The force of the blow is significant, but leaves her temporarily dizzied after use. Move cannot be used in rapid succession.]
■ [Sukaisendā "SKY SENDER"]
[Through vigorously toned lower body muscles Brown kicks off the ground and launches upwards in an elbow uppercut, smashing the hard end of her arm into any enemy directly in front of or above her with an unpleasant degree of force. This move allows her to strike at flying or floating targets who would otherwise appear out of her reach.]
■ [Āmīrippā "ARMY RIPPER"]
[Dropping to the ground or kicking off into the air, Brown throws out her leg and enters into a violent spin. Smashing away anything or anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the spinning circular saw motion. This wide reaching attack can strike at multible targets or opponents surrounding her weather directly around or above her.]
■ [Taikutsunakiba "FADED FANG"]
[By flowing her Ki into a simple Yo-yo and back into her own body, Brown can make a simple toy as hard as a steel mace. Swinging it around she can whip or thrash enemies at a range, able to hurl, spin, and throw the Yo-Yo to hit just about anywhere the string can reach.]
■ [Shīrudosupin "Shield Spin" ]
[Whipping her Yo-yo in a circular motion, building up momentum and speed, Brown holds it out in front of her. The Yo-yo whips around like a propeller acting as a shield, deflecting or destroying any incoming projectiles.]
■ [Chigēmu "BLOOD GAME"]
[A combo move where Brown throws out her Yo-yo and wraps it around an opponent. Pulling them forward she smashes them with her elbow, then pulls back on the string to yank them into another attack, and another, and another before pulling the string and sending them into a spin where she delivers a kick to the back of their head.]
SUPER MOVES
■ [GIGA-TUMMO]
[The body control temperature technique g-tummo taken to the extreme. After years of training Brown can control her body temperature and raise it to to the point her skin scalds others and melts ice on contact. When activated Brown’s skin becomes flushed and she begins to steam, becoming highly resistant to cold and low temperature based attacks. At the same time her touch attacks gain additional burning damage and she becomes difficult to grab or grapple by others without being scalded by her high temperature skin. Giga-Tummo only asks a few minutes as making her body too hot for too long can have detrimental effects on her health.]
■ [Fururirīsu “FULL RELEASE”]
[Suppressing her body’s natural regulator functions, Brown can push her muscles, organs, and nervous system to extreme lengths. Adrenaline production sky rockets, her heart thunders behind her ribs, and her muscles harden with new found strength. When active Full Release doubles Brown’s movement speed, reaction times, and physical strength. However Brown can only use Full Release for 1 (5?) minutes in total as the power comes from taxing her body and not from Ki usage. Muscles snap, blood vessels burst, and bones break under the force of her own blows.
Once Full Release times out Brown’s attacks become weaker, her movement speed is halved, and she’s left with whatever injuries she sustained from her super charged strikes for the rest of the match.]
Once Full Release times out Brown’s attacks become weaker, her movement speed is halved, and she’s left with whatever injuries she sustained from her super charged strikes for the rest of the match.]
■ [Sourusurō “SOUL THROW”]
[Pooling every single drop of her meager Ki reserves into a single attack Brown launches a golf ball sized orb of Ki at her enemy from one of her limbs. While the amount of Ki is small, it’s super condensed and fired off with the full force of her fighting spirit. What would normally be a meager, spammable Ki attack for anyone else, is turned into a defense piercing attack.
Hair stands on end, her eyes dilate, and the flesh of the limb she channels her Ki into gets hot. Lunging the limb out a small concentrated ball of dark almost hazel colored Ki is release. It cuts through the air in a spiraling motion, tearing through anything in it’s path from sheer rotation force and heat, moving and hitting like a shot fired from an anti-material rifle.
While penetrative and very accurate, the attack requires all of Brown’s Ki. If she whiffs the shot or the enemy simply doesn’t go down upon being hit, she’s basically lost. While she can stay standing for a little while after using the attack, it’s normal for her to collapse or outright blackout after firing from the strain.]

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
Brown suffers from a hereditary disease that prevented her from inheriting her parents power and started her off in life with far below average Ki. It took her countless years of brutal training just to get to the point of being above average. Even with her best efforts Brown will always have an unimpressive amount of Ki and will be at a disadvantage against those who were born with plenty of it. On top of that she can be incredibly sensitive and easily manipulated by her own feelings of weakness.
OTHER
Despite being a 'Nomad' Brown enjoys making regular trips home when injured or unable to train in order to check up on her adoptive mother. When unable to travel back she makes frequent phone calls (when she can steal a phone or mooch a free call of someone) to her.
Brown is normally a rather pleasant person to be around, despite her tenancies to eat other peoples food and in general act weird. However when it comes to naturally gifted people she can be rather cruel, often going out of her way to intentionally sabotage or ruin things for otherwise good people because she sees them as an enemy due to the breaks they caught in life...
Brown likes going without a shirt and walking around with just a belt covering her chest bits. Why people would have a problem with this is legitimately lost on Brown.
