Name: Issei Hamada, The Prodigy of the Takeda

Nickname: The Grinning Demon

Age: 19 (Senior)

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 189 lbs.

Personality: Issei is an odd assortment of personality

traits. On the surface he gives off an air of being aloof and

mysterious, never truly showing real anger or happiness instead

keeping an eerie seeming smile. He tends to stand back from a crowd

scanning for possible weakness in others, perhaps planning to

prevent a tragedy before one starts, but more likely looking to

exploit said weakness for his own gain. On the rare occasion that he

does actually express the churning sea of emotions inside of him it

is usually rather explosive and violent, on either side of the

spectrum.

Fighting Style: Issei is by definition an endurance fighter.

Believing that the fight can be determined through the unveiling of

a fighters technique Issei almost always puts up a front as

inexperience allowing him to takes a beating before taking his

opponents to the ground.

Martial Arts:

Daito-Ryu- Issei's preferred method of combat, is a

traditional Japanese sharing similarity to both Jujitsu and

Aikido. Where Aikido uses large circles and "gentleness" in its

locks and throws Daito-Ryu uses small circles and explosive power to

almost rend the affected limb from the body. A typical scene for

someone on the receiving end of a Daito-Ryu are several finger

shaped bruises all along the forearm.

History: Issei Hamada was born to a lower-middle class family

in Tokyo, never needing anything but understanding the value of

hard-work. Issei was always a little bit of an outcast, never really

picked on or bullied he was never a social butterfly either. At the

age of seven he started taking classes in classic karate and through

those classes he finally began to thrive both socially and

emotionally.

Over the next few years Issei began bouncing from school to school

in search for the perfect style to fit him finding faults in

everything that he attempted to study, until he found a Daito-Ryu

school in Tokyo only a few blocks from his childhood home. It is

unknown when or why Issei began acting the way he does now but what

is known is during his middle school years he began systematically

picking fights with people in what appeared to be a challenge system

to prove he was the strongest. On his final day of middle school he

received his invitation to Shinjuku Academy, something that he

accepted gladly.

In his sophomore year Issei had already earned a reputation as a

powerful fighter. Without throwing a single punch he single handed

defeated most of his peerage with little to no effort, it was this

that brought him to the attention of the Head of Disciplinary

Committee. Issei's arrogance brought him to a face to face challenge

with the Club chairman to which he lost astoundingly, in doing so he

seemed to lose touch with himself. It wasn't until he began training

himself in the spiritual aspects of martial arts that he finally

began to regain some sort of control.

It took the bulk of remainder of the year, but on the last day of

his sophomore year he once again challenged the Disciplinary Head to a

rematch. The match was intense with neither fighter backing down and

both dealing serious blows in rapid succession, it was a long drawn

out battle. After an extended bout it came down to a single mistake

but the Disciplinary Head was downed and forced to surrender. Issei

had become the Head of the Disciplinary Committee during his sophomore

year and has been unbeaten since.

Name: Christina Lawrence
Nickname: "Ice Queen"
Age: 17
Height: 5'7
Weight: 145
Year: Senior

Personality: Christina is considered evil by many due to her sadistic tendency towards others and her cold and malicious heart. She is often seen talking down to some one and will be the first to call out someone on their mistakes. Most of the time when she does smile they are filled with evil intent and never really convey what she feels. But beneath her cold demeanor is a heart that wants a chance to be friendly but has been hurt to many times in the past to let that happen. Overall, if she is seen being extra cold and nasty towards certain people it is because she cares about their growth and development, or at least this is the only way she knows how to show it.

Fighting Style: When facing weaker opponents, she spites them with dramatic words and flirtatious banter. The girl gets very distracting and plays with her foes like a spider plays with its prey once it is caught in a web. When facing stronger opponents, or those that disrespect her, she turns cold as ice, and does not spare a single blow. Some have considered her to be over-kill when she gets angry and needs to be restrained.

Martial Arts:
Shaolin Boxing:
Seven Star Praying Mantis Boxing
Leopard Kung Fu
Drunken Monkey
Southern Snake Style

History:
Christina was raised in an New York Orphanage until she was 6. Growing up on the rough streets of New York, she had to learn how to take a hit from the other kids and people who would bully her for her white hair. Every friend she made would turn on her and soon she became alone and distant. When she turned six, Christina was adopted by a young wealthy couple who lived in Southern China.

They lived in Quanzhou, in the city there is a old Shaolin Temple were she began taking her lessons. When she got in her first sparing match, Christina won and after feeling the power that came with it she swore she would never lose again. So she began her training with the monks of this temple, learning day in and day out until she bled. She learned each of the main Southern Shaolin Boxing styles in great depth, but not in mastery. Although she finished her training, most of her teachers say that she is wild, lacks compassion for her opponents and is stubborn. She also needs to learn how to lose and move on from it. Upon hearing about Shinjuku Academy, she was excited and thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to stretch her legs, she got her invitation due to a recommendation by many different southern masters.

During her first three years at Shinjuku, Christina fought any and everyone that would approach her, she would play with not only their bodies, but their mental states as well, sometimes even making them cry mid match and fall apart. She earned the name Ice Queen, due to her lack of mercy and compassion while she dismantled her opponents. Soon people would not want to fight her and she would have to go out of her way to find worthy opponents. The main thing she learned at Shinjuku was humility and the power and knowledge that comes with a loss.


Dreams and Fears:
Her dream is to take over her foster parents company and bring it to a global status and then take on the world. Once that is done she wants to give back to those who have helped her along the way.

Her biggest fear is being hurt again, like she was in New York. Christina never wants to feel pain like that again, so she trains every day so that there is no excuse for being her.
