An old character from a Medieval game I once played. Much better setting for him here, methinks.

Name: Alfredo
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Personality: Alfredo is very easygoing, kindly, humble, and at times mischievous. He travels long distances offering magic acts and accupuncture treatment to aid the communities he visits. You'd be hard pressed to find a way to get him to use his hands for real violence... Unless you're robbing someone within earshot.
Brief Backstory: Alfredo once lived in a land to the far, far west, and came east as a small child in trading wagons. He traveled to the tenth world as his master, a powerful magician, brought him there to better learn and harness the power of Ki. He only knew a fraction of what his master did before his master died of disease, but a fraction was still quite a lot... He knew two powerful Ki arts, he knew how to make delicious potions, and that a Wizard errant was always polite to everyone he met... And he also knew enough of this to make a suitable living in this land, and so he has traveled for 15 years since then, adventuring and such.

Styles and Techniques:
He is a magician, and in combat uses one of two martial arts from Magician clans taught to him by his master. He can swap styles quite quickly when needed, but they aren't very easy to mix.

Zhizhu Chao Quan

Zhizhu Chao Quan (or "Spider Nest Boxing") was practiced primarily by a secretive shaman's guild in Mongolia, before it spread and was picked up by warrior monks in Canton, where it was refined and its magical elements were brought out to a much higher degree. ZCQ imitates the movements of a spider, low, wide stances, quick, able dodges, leaps, acrobatics, and several ground positions. The Spider Nest Boxer never stays down for long, and when they are down, they're just as capable of attacking as they are when they're standing. The stance and style itself requires exhaustive physical training to master, but the subtle ki power comes into play when the special techniques do.

The Spider's Bite:
ZCQ strikes are all open-handed at first, but when they land, the fighter quickly "bites", clenching his fingers around the body part he struck with incredible force. (Which can be improved with Ki to potentially tear through flesh, if needed) They are quick to jam their fingers and thumbs into pressure points to disrupt the flow of others' ki. This disrupts magical attacks and causes immense pain. Or, in the right places, can cause paralysis,(Nerve centers under the arm and at leg joints) sickness/nausea/vomitting,(Stomach, kidneys, and throat) temporary blindness/deafness/loss of feeling,(Neck and spine) heart palpatations,(major veins and arteries) suffocation,(throat and diaphragm) and death (any positions for the last three if not corrected by the boxer or by a skilled physician).

The Hunting Palm:
After a successful strike, the master's hand can quickly "Crawl" along the body like a spider, sensing nerves, veins, and important ki flow points. If a sensitive strategic position is found, they can tighten their grip and gouge their fingers into it again without opening themselves up to make another strike... Assuming his foe doesn't just grab his hand and pull it away.

Fangshi Quantou

Regarded as the fighting style of the trickster, this form of martial arts was created by a band of alchemists who were regarded by their king as witches and heathens. They developed a highly dangerous style to protect themselves from enemies that were better armed than they were. The stance is very fluid, involving coiling techniques familiar to Drunken Boxers. The Alchemist can turn around on a dime and bend to incredible positions without disrupting their balance, making them frustratingly difficult to hit. The spells of the Alchemist focus on the elements they come across

Titanium Strike:
The fighter focusses their ki into their hands and feet, hardening them by an incredible amount and strengthening their blows slightly. The main use for this technique, however, is for grabbing blades and potentially breaking them when you don't have any blades of your own.

Oxygen Strike:
The fighter focusses their Ki into their breath, and becomes one with it, allowing them to create strong gusts with their hands and feet that have all the force of a punch or kick. This extends the fighter's reach greatly, but gas doesn't have the density or structure of a hand or foot. It can knock enemies off balance, but rarely ever harm them. (Unless someone decides to test how flammable raw oxygen is, in which case the alchemist is in just as much danger as his attacker...)

Magnesium Strike:
The fighter focusses ki to conjure and throw ball bearings of varying size, which explode into smoke and fire. The bigger this particular magnesium ball is, and the higher the fire-to-smoke-ratio is that it's supposed to produce, the more exhausting it is to summon.

Equipment:

Non-Combat Gear:
A small box of Acupuncture needles, a wine case of Cane Potions, (Basically red, un-carbonated cream sodas that wizards know how to make) a deck of cards, two waterskins, a bowl and spoon, and a mortar and pestle.

Combat Gear:
Alfredo has several hidden blades in his robes. The hidden pockets were originally for producing effects when performing street magic, but he's lived a fairly "eventful" life, which usually involved being attacked by bandits on the road. He has springloaded elbow blades, "Rooster Spurs" (Shoe knives on either end of the foot) a Shaolin Dart Launcher, (wrist-mounted small dart gun) and a magical umbrella, which happens to be quite sharp on the top end, in addition to making a durable shield when opened. He also possesses a magical silk cape, a tool he uses to obscure his movements, distract his foes (and audience) and hide things. It happens to be enchanted with an ancient and powerful spell, which grants it the ability to... Look really nice.

It's a bit silent in here so i fear the worst. Non the less, here's my character :)

•Name: Tae
•Age: 125
•Gender: Male
•Race: Inari. The Inari are a shape shifting hybrid of human and fox. The Inari possesses three forms, a human form, a hybrid form and a fox form. In their human form, the Inari have the physical qualities of a human, in their fox form they have the physical qualities of a fox. Their hybrid form is what the Inari consider their "true" form. In this form they can gain absolute control of their inner Ki and perform feats that are considered superhuman or extraordinary. In human/non Inari communities people often say the Inari are just a race of legend as most Inari prefer to use their human form when interacting with other races. Inari often travel the world to act as spiritial guides and help those in need. Inari roughly can become around 400 years old and reach maturity around 100 years.

•Personality: Tae is a gently yet serious person. He is deeply devoted to the teachings of the Inari Tao and tries to follow them as good as possible. He generaly prefers to resolve conflicts through negotiation and only uses violence as a last resort. The xia of the Inari teaches the following code; Avoid violence when possible, do not cause more harm then necassery but vanquish evil without hesitation when you must.

•Brief Backstory: Tae was born as the second son and youngest child in a small Inari village high within the mountains. In order to receive education and training, his father brought Tae and his older brother Mao to the temple of the nine tails. A famous Inari temple dedicated to the teachings of the Tao and bringing kindness to the 10th world. It was here that Tae learned the Gentle fox Style and the Burning Spirit style martial arts. As the years passed the 10th world slowly got consumed in war. It was this darkness that caused Tae's brother to develop radical idea's. Rather then to pacify the other races, Mao believed that only true peace could come to existance when the other races would be annialated. Slowly Mao managed to convince others at the temple of his idea's. When the master challanged Mao idea's with arguments, he got enraged and used his knowledge of the martial arts to kill the temple master. This presented Tae with a choice, side with his brother to bring a new world order or follow the teachings of his master and bring good to all. Tae chose the latter and got expelled from the temple.

•Styles and Techniques:
* The gentle fox style: The gentle fox style is a form of martial arts that focusses on defeating your oponent without causing much harm. It uses the energy an momemtum of the enemies attack in order to get him off balance and under control with various throws and arm and wristlocks. The gentle fox style also incoorperates Bo-staff techniques. All the techniques are purely defensive.
* Burning fox spirit style: The burning fox spirit style is a form of martial arts that focus heavily on the users Ki. The style uses Ki in order to augment the physical abilities of the practisioner, allowing him to move faster, jump higher and punch harder. In contrast to the gentle fox style, the burning fox spirit style is an aggressive combat system that consists of punches, kicks, knee and elbow techniques. Next to the basic hand to hand combat techniques the style also uses Ki blasts and beams. The full potential of this style can only be unlocked in the true form of the Inari as that form gives them complete control over their Ki. When using this style, Tae is engulfed in a white aura of Ki energy.

- Spirit rush: This technique allows the user to move at extremely high speeds over a short distance.
- Burning Spirit: Tae uses his Ki to temporarily boost his abilities. His aura intensifies as his speed and strenght are boosted greatly.
- Spirit Javalin: Tae places his hands against eachother and gathers Ki energy in between. By moving his hands away from each a rod of white Ki is formed. Tae then grabs the rod and trows it like a javalin that pierces his opponent.
- Spirit blast: Tae gathers Ki at both his hands seperately. Balls of Ki are formed. He then combines both sources of Ki into one giant ball that explodes on Impact.
- Burning Spirit beam: Tae gathers Ki in both his arms, than places them together to shoot a massive beam of Ki at his opponent.

•Equipment: A Bo-staff
