[b]Name:[/b] Shen Chung Gong

[b]Age:[/b] 32

[b]Height:[/b] 5' 8"

[b]Weight:[/b] 131 lbs

[b]Race:[/b] Beastman (Monkey)

[b]Personality:[/b] Shen is, in a word, playful. He likes to joke and goof around, often annoying those around him. Combine that with his physical abilities, and he is quite a handful to deal with. This is made even more apparent in battle, as Shen will often taunt his opponents and goad them into attacking as he nimbly dodges and blocks reckless attacks. Despite that, though, Shen is intelligent enough to tell when to take things seriously, and will drop his playful personality to take on a more serious approach to someone who he deems a worthy challenge.

[b]Weapon:[/b] Quarterstaff: a rod of metal, with blunt metal tips. 4' 10" in length. Treated and enchanted to resist the pressures and forces of battle. Nothing special other than that.

[b]Abilities:[/b] Physically, Shen is quite strong and agile, although it is only twice as much as what a normal human can achieve with years of hard work. Having been trained for a staff ever since he was young, he has gained much skill with the use of a staff, although it is mainly for defense and mobility rather than offense. Shen's fighting style does not rely on direct combat, instead revolving around balance and agility, so he has been training his stamina immensely. So, he spends more of his time dodging and guarding, waiting for his opponent to tire himself out before taking the offensive.

Shen also possesses the ability to manipulate his own Qi, or life force energy, as well as the Qi in the nearby air (within arm's reach), and use it to aid him in battle. Qi itself is invisible, although more observant people can see the shimmer of air as it is manipulated. His most notable uses of it are infusing the ends of his staff or limbs with Qi to increase the force of each blow, firing Qi blasts (similar to a strong gust of wind) from his palms and feet, and moving his staff around in the air as if he was telekinetic (still restricted to arm's reach). However, using Qi wears out his stamina faster than anything else, and even with all his stamina training, he will tire himself out if he uses it for too long.
