Mao is capable of popping any of his joints out of place and realigning them at will. He is also almost inhumanly flexible courtesy of this and his actual powers. Mao is an extremely good cook and is extremely knowledgable about Karateka.

Mao boasts extremely elastic skin and muscles as well as peak human reflexes. Oddly this elasticity does not seem to affect the resilience of his skin or muscles in any negative manner

History: Mao is yet another native to Imagine Nation, being born and raised in Karateka all of his life by his single mother alongside three older sisters and an older brother. Being the youngest of the bunch in a single parent household put Mao in a rather awkward predicament: During his early years his sisters viewed him more or less as a living baby doll, often using him as a guinea pig for all sorts of map up and accessories. The fact that Mao took more after his mother than his father certainly did not help matters. Luckily Mao's older brother was often there to step in and bail him out of those situations, though it was often accompanied by a jeer or two to rile Mao up. Mao idolized his brother whom had filled the role of man of the house, and was quick to follow in his footsteps, learning all manner of useful tips and tricks to get ahead in the rough and tumble district. When Mao's brother was old enough to move out, Mao stepped up to take up the mantle himself, even taking a job as a delivery boy for the restaurant his mother ran to help bring in more income. He would go on to be considered for acceptance into the school of thought after the manifestation of his powers. All he needs to do now is to try and pass the exam and impress the council enough to get in.

Personality: Mao is a relatively mellow and easy going guy, though being raised in a household mostly made up of women has given him a bit of a sharp tongue and a mild manipulative streak that are made all the more potent thanks to the district he hails from. Mao generally prefers to rely on his sharp wit and wagging tongue to get him out of trouble, though this can occasionally backfire and put him in even further peril. He generally prefers to flee rather than fight, but when backed into a corner Mao can be a surprisingly vicious opponent due to his preference for resorting to dirty tricks mid combat. Mao is more than aware of the fact that he is rather feminine in appearance and has made peace with this. Mao has a serious fascination with snakes, green tree pythons in particular.

Other: Mao carries around a satchel filled with all manner of snacks as well as a box of bandages,a switch blade, three notebooks, some pens, and several menus from his mother's restaurant. The device that he has strapped to his leg is really nothing more than an ipad in a heavy duty casing that he uses for work.
