The Teachings of Kho is, arguably, the basis of the Philosophy of Ki. Kho was once a guru and prophet to the people of Saiga back when it was a much larger nation. In ancient legends, it is said that he was the pioneer of modern martial arts and the first to discover ki. He had used his immense power to turn the tides of war and had trained many others to use his secret knowledge. When the wars that ravaged Saiga ended, he had opened a school and taught martial arts to the youth and developed the true purpose of Ki: Enlightenment.
The teachings were passed down the ages, many of his former students misconstruing his lessons to something else.
In the end, there were three schools of Kho:
1) The School of the Mind: This school focuses on the inner thoughts, and therefore the universe. One must always question the reality before them and to seek the answers that lay beyond the stars. Students of this School often meditate for days and fast for weeks searching for the answer. They are also pacifists.
2) The School of Spirit: This school focuses on the internal struggle of man and the means to unshackle oneself from the mortal coil. Similar to the School of the Mind, meditation is often used, but rather than fast, they would pursue a pilgrimage throughout the world and perform philanthropic deeds in the hopes of finding inner peace.
3) The School of the Fist: This school focuses on one's desire for battle. It is the most primal school of thought, and also the one with the most etiquette. This complex school of thought sees fighting as a way to free oneself from the struggles of the body, to surpass one's limits and to bask in the flowing energy of ki. However, there is a code of honor that one must not ignore, or else they will become one with the Feral Path. Enlightenment can only be found on the battlefield, so they believe. They also believe in never attacking a harmless foe, to never strike an unarmed opponent, and to never revel in bloodshed. Killing is for self-defense, never for sport. The etiquette of this school is tightly bound by the philosophy of Kho and his deeds in the ancient legends.

- - - - (Personal Details)
Name: Lone
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Home Nation: Saiga (a small, rural nation with a scarce population)
Appearance: Lone appears to be 5'7" (152cm) with a weight of 124 lbs (56.24kg). He has short black hair and slightly tanned skin, with green eyes and high cheekbones. His slender physique is taut with muscle, but it's often hidden by his clothing, which consists of a t-shirt, jeans, combat boots, bandages around both hands, and a black leather jacket.
Personality
Lone is outwardly cocky and laidback. On the inside, however, he actually feels isolated and depressed. He wishes to fight someone of his own caliber, to feel the thrill of a good fight. His unique physiology due to his ki prevents him from feeling anything akin to fear or danger, and so he seems to act reckless. In reality, he is a very good tactician in combat and seems to possess above average intelligence with basic understanding of aerodynamics and in-depth knowledge of ki. Lone tends to act like... well... a loner. He does not wish to be responsible of others unless he is compensated for his efforts and regards most people, and even his fellow Divers, as a burden. Like the monks who raised him, Lone loves to fight and is willing to fight with all of his heart if the opponent is strong enough; though he is not above killing when necessary. His is not quick to anger, but when a line is crossed, he tends to gain an icy persona and the intent to kill.
History
Occupation: Diver
- - - - (Power Matrix)
Primary Focus: Ki
Magical Capabilities
-Accelerated Healing Factor: Unlike most ki-users, Lone's ki trades superhuman durability for accelerated healing. Though he cannot regenerate lost limbs and organs, he can survive fatal attacks and heal near-instantaneously. This is an innate ability and has nothing to do with conscious thought.
-Superhuman Resilience: Though he doesn't have the support of a powerful fortress of a body, Lone is quite resilient nonetheless, capable of molding his pain into fuel to keep coming back for another rather than succumb to it. This is brought about due to his intense training and the painful workings of his body reknitting itself whenever it's damaged, even during training. His heightened pain tolerance baffles most people.
-God-like Strength: Though Lone does not look physically imposing or powerful, he is actually beyond superhuman in displays of strength. His muscles are tightly wound around a slender frame and contain 20 years worth of training. In addition, his strength also provides him with greater speed, jumping distance, and jumping height. This measure of strength is gained by the fact that his accelerated healing factor allows him to bypass his physical limiters from the get-go, already allowing him natural superhuman strength. Years of training allowed him to transcend the superhuman aspect of his strength to higher levels, making him a hard-hitting S.O.B.
-High Speed: Due to his accelerated healing and the strength that resulted from it, the muscles in his legs and his more aerodynamic body (compared to others), allow him superhuman speed to compensate for his lack physical defense. This ability is aided by his affinity to wind and air, as well.
-Superhuman Endurance & Stamina: Since his body naturally restores itself, he does not suffer from the aches and pains of muscle soreness and can keep himself moving at any pace without any negative effects, whether in short bursts or for the long haul.
-Wind Generation and Manipulation
-Weaknesses: Despite his physical strength, there is a limit to what he can do. He cannot regenerate whatsoever and will instantly die if he is decapitated or has any of his vital organs removed. His raw power is drained if he heals from significant wounds; the more alarming the wounds, the less physical power he possesses, due to the amount of ki used to restore his body.

History
Though no one is sure of his actual birthplace, Lone was raised in the small province of Saiga in the Temple of Kho. It was a small community of monk warriors who trained in the ways of ki, believing its philosophy to be directly linked to battle. They were not blood thirsty by any means, but rather relished in the idea of fighting for sport, believing enlightenment could only be brought to them on the battlefield. The monks who trained in ki all possessed the same attributes: super strength, speed, and durability. Lone, however, was unique. His body was not as dense and as powerful as their's, but he could heal impossibly fast for a human. This was discovered when he was four years old and playing in the courtyard, where he tripped over the jagged rocks that littered the place. His sitter for the evening witnessed the fall and noticed there was blood on the rocks; however, upon inspecting the young boy, there was not even a scratch.
Speculating, the man decided to train the boy ten years in advance. It was common knowledge that training young children had long-term effects on the body, but based on a hunch, the monk made an exception 10 years in advance. Lone was trained through the illusion of games and began to develop muscle early on during his life. Lone had originally enjoyed the routine, though as he grew older, he became more aware of what was going on. His training went from a gentle start to a rigorous routine and Lone found himself adopting the traditions of his Order. However, unlike them, he did not wish to find enlightenment and simply wanted a good fight. At the age of 18, he left the temple to explore the world. He traveled to No-Man's-Land and became a Diver. After six years of being away from home, Lone did not slack from his training.
Life has never been better.

Saiga is a small rural province with a scarce population. It is home of many traditionalists who forsake the ideals of technological advancement and prefer to learn from the teachings of Kho, their hero-god and prophet. The province is an Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune-- a self-sufficient government without the need of government, nor economy. The people are often farmers or monks (some of different Schools of Kho) and contributed to one another in a peaceful society of martial arts and philosophy.
The Teachings of Kho
The Teachings of Kho is, arguably, the basis of the Philosophy of Ki. Kho was once a guru and prophet to the people of Saiga back when it was a much larger nation. In ancient legends, it is said that he was the pioneer of modern martial arts and the first to discover ki. He had used his immense power to turn the tides of war and had trained many others to use his secret knowledge. When the wars that ravaged Saiga ended, he had opened a school and taught martial arts to the youth and developed the true purpose of Ki: Enlightenment.
The teachings were passed down the ages, many of his former students misconstruing his lessons to something else.
In the end, there were three schools of Kho:
1) The School of the Mind: This school focuses on the inner thoughts, and therefore the universe. One must always question the reality before them and to seek the answers that lay beyond the stars. Students of this School often meditate for days and fast for weeks searching for the answer. They are also pacifists.
2) The School of Spirit: This school focuses on the internal struggle of man and the means to unshackle oneself from the mortal coil. Similar to the School of the Mind, meditation is often used, but rather than fast, they would pursue a pilgrimage throughout the world and perform philanthropic deeds in the hopes of finding inner peace.
3) The School of the Fist: This school focuses on one's desire for battle. It is the most primal school of thought, and also the one with the most etiquette. This complex school of thought sees fighting as a way to free oneself from the struggles of the body, to surpass one's limits and to bask in the flowing energy of ki. However, there is a code of honor that one must not ignore, or else they will become one with the Feral Path. Enlightenment can only be found on the battlefield, so they believe. They also believe in never attacking a harmless foe, to never strike an unarmed opponent, and to never revel in bloodshed. Killing is for self-defense, never for sport. The etiquette of this school is tightly bound by the philosophy of Kho and his deeds in the ancient legends.
