If you don't mind slower posting, I could give you a fight. How's this for an opponent?

Name: Tybalt Constantine
Race: Were-tiger
Gender: Male

Race: Were-tiger
Gender: Male
Age: 47 (looks a bit younger, as his race ages more slowly than most humans)
Occupation: Martial arts master
Physical Appearance:
Height: 5'9'' (human form) | 6'10'' (tiger form)
Weight: 167 lbs (human form) | 230 lbs (tiger form)
In his human form, Tybalt is heavily muscled, with thick grey hair that extends around the edges of his jawline. He is fair-skinned, but said skin is marked by black tattoos in the shape of a tiger's stripes. His fingernails are black, and unusually hard. He will often wear robes when going about casual business, but prefers to go bare-chested when sparring or fighting.
His eyes are a dark blue, and his ears are pointed, a mix between those of a cat and those of a human. In spite of his somewhat fearsome markings, his face tends to wear a gentle or kindly expression.
In his tiger form, he is a full head taller and far more heavily built. He will grow a full coat of white striped fur, thick and soft, as well as a tail. His head becomes a tiger's visage, his fingernails grow into claws, and his feet become paws. Transformation takes barely a second. He will wear his human form by default, only taking on this shape when faced with a truly daunting challenge.

Personality:
In general, Tybalt is quite mellow. He doesn't like to meddle with the affairs of others, preferring to live a simple life where he can. He is patient, and difficult to offend. One who insults him or opposes him will be treated just as kindly as any close friend. He takes pleasure in small things, and is content with his life teaching practicing the physical arts.
Also, in spite of generally being kind, he does not treat others lightly. One training under him can expect difficult, even brutal tutelage, which he will deliver without the slightest hesitation. He takes pride in his mastery of combat, and will accept almost any challenge he is given, putting his full might into it. Losing or failing such a challenge will not bother him much, he will simply train himself until he can overcome it.
Highly dedicated to his art, he often spends a large portion of the day training himself and others. He considers himself a record, a book on the ways of physical combat, and does his best to spread his knowledge to possible successors.

Skills:
Physical combat - Absolute mastery: Tybalt has mastered nearly every form of martial arts under the sun. He has training in a vast number of unarmed styles and techniques, and an even greater number of armed ones. Everything from simple daggers to magitech rifles- he knows every one like the back of his hand. Though he prefers unarmed combat, against a powerful opponent he will not hesitate to bring devastating weaponry to the field.
Not only has he been trained to fight, he has trained to win. He knows the mechanics of all the elemental magics and many others besides, and has their weak points all memorized. In addition, he has studied the anatomy of hundreds of different species of sentient beings and wild beasts, and knows precisely where to hit each one to hurt, incapacitate, or kill.
His body has also been trained and pushed to the limit. His human form is among the strongest and fastest on the planet, discounting those extensively enhanced by magic.
Survival skills - Mastery: He is an excellent hunter and tracker, in all natural environments and most urban ones. He can make shelters, start fires, knows which plants to eat and how to blend in with his surroundings. He also knows how to craft essential tools and weapons from extremely basic resources. Drop him naked and alone in any land, and he would find a way to thrive there.
Tiger form: Within the space of a second, Tybalt can transform into an upright were-tiger, or turn back from that into his human form. This shape is larger, stronger, and faster than his ordinary one, with sharp claws and teeth as an added bonus. Also has night vision and an improved sense of smell in this form. However, while in this form he cannot talk, though his roars are quite impressive.

Equipment level - high:
PK-class powered armor: A magitech-based suit of full plate, designed to rapidly reshape itself to accommodate both his forms. Includes non-conductive and heat resistant layers. Multiplies his strength several times over, renders him tough as a tank, and can siphon some of the energy from magical/elemental attacks that strike it to charge itself. It can also enter a cloaking mode, rendering him virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Friction pads: Attached to the armor, these dark pads cover the palms of Tybalt's hands and the bottom of his feet. He can adjust the friction of these surfaces at will to a great extent, though not without limits (can't make them entirely frictionless or give them infinite friction).
Boomerang spheres: Three heavy stone spheres, each about a foot in diameter. Extremely hard. These will float in a triangle formation around Tybalt until he chooses to move them. When he does, he can project them at high speeds away from him in the direction he's looking. While they're moving, he can at any time make them stop, causing them to float stationary in midair (they can be moved by outside forces, but will resist attempts to do so). While they're stationary, he can call them back to him, causing them to return as fast as they left and resume floating around him, at which point the cycle begins again.
Spellbreaker staff: A long, white staff carved from dragon bone and covered in ancient runes. In addition to being a well-balanced weapon and mind-bogglingly tough, it also possesses the ability to physically interact with the ethereal via electromagnetic fields. Ghosts, magical attacks, and other otherwise untouchable/unstoppable things may be hit, blocked, or deflected as if they were solid objects. Its strikes also create powerful vibrations, often spreading tremors in a wide radius around the point of impact.
