Mae Li Fong
21
|| Female
|| Human
Appearance
Mae stands at 5ft and 6 inches; which she insists is true even though she is only a few centimeters above 5'5". She has a faint curve to her figure, formed from a life of martial arts training; strong legs often left uncovered to reduce the restriction of movement.
Mae has light brown eyes with flecks of bright emerald green. Her hair is obviously well taken care of, naturally straight dark auburn silk.
Personality
Mae does her best to give herself an air of maturity and wisdom. Though in truth she is still a kid at heart. She will lose her mind at the sight of small creatures of any kind and gets distracted by shiny objects. When in public she does decently at hiding those reflexes; though if anyone is paying attention they can tell she is internally breaking down.
Beyond her secret shame Mae is a very kind, and nurturing person. She is very empathetic, able to naturally pick up on peoples emotions. She isn't a lie detector, just simple can tell when someone is happy or sad behind whatever mask (metaphorically) someone is wearing. This often leads her to taking on tasks that have nothing to do with her, simply because she can't handle someone in need and not offering help.
History
Just a touch over twenty-one years ago in a small village in a far off land a basic ass baby was born. There was nothing special or miraculous about Mae's birth. She was just a normal girl in a normal town. She was the daughter of a martial artist father and a medicinal botanist mother.
When she was basically old enough to walk she immediately took to her father profession. She begged him to teach her and he eagerly accepted; happy to have his only child follow in his footsteps. Over the years Mae's love for martial arts only increased. Each new technique she learned only drove her to eager practice the next.
While most of her youth was spent with her father, as she got into her early teens she realized she needed to create a stronger bond with her mother; not that they weren't close, but it wasn't nearly as close as it was with her father. So she started to break away from her dad and martial arts to learn more about herbs and medicine. While she enjoyed the zen nature of picking and milling herbs it didn't nearly have the pull on her interests as Martial arts had.
Shortly after her eighteenth birthday the General, appointed by the Emperor of their country, took control of overseeing hers and a few other small villages in their region. Shortly after his appointment he began to increase taxes to an unlivable degree; anyone not to pay in full was ripped from their homes and forced into servitude to pay of their debt. Though ultimately never be able to because they would not be able to make enough during their time to pay the next months tax.
It was two years before she resolved herself to the task of overthrowing the dictatorship that destroyed her village. But she couldn't do it herself with the few left. So she set off on a quest to travel to a far off land in search for aid.
Lo and behold, it was not as simple as she had originally thought. Apparently not many people want to join a quest that has little reward for themselves.

Weapon Proficiency - While her strength is definitely in hand to hand combat, in her training she became competent with most forms of exotic weapons. While for the most part she would avoid weapons, as she finds it a hindrance, if she is put in a situation where using a weapon is necessary she is capable.
Abilities
Zen State - Mae opens up her Chi channels to flow more freely through her entirety. This gives her superior focus and able to fully ignore damage to her body. In this state Mae's reaction time is improved as well as her accuracy. Her power and speed are also improved to a small degree.
NOTE: This doesn't reduce the damage she takes, she simply doesn't acknowledge it. If she's damaged too extensively her body will shut down and she will collapse into an unconscious heap. This state is very taxing on her and can only be maintained for a short time.
Chi Strike - Focusing her chi into either her feet or hands before a strike. Once she makes contact with the strike she releases a powerful burst of energy, empowering the strike.
Pressure Point Strike - Being in-tuned with the working of the Chi Channels of the body so intimately Mae is able to strike them with pointed index and ring finger. Rule of thumb: Where struck and below become hindered. Shoulders effect arm, hips effect leg, abdomen causes full body strain to a less degree.
NOTE: The more muscular the target, the lower the effect. Muscles block the Chi Channel lines and make it harder to disrupt.
Onslaught - Only usable in Zen State. Focusing her Chi to both fists and legs, to a smaller degree than Chi Strike, she will quickly attack with a vicious flurry of acrobatic blows.
