Appearance
Brandon is rather tall, standing at 6’2, and is of a muscular but lean (180 lbs) build that compliments his fighting style well. He usually wears a red headband around his neck that was given to him by his first sensei many years ago; it holds a special meaning for Brandon and brings him luck whenever he needs it most. Even though they are old and worn, Brandon still wears the pants of his training Gi (for those unfamiliar with martial arts; a Gi is the ceremonial clothing that traditional martial artists wear) for the same reason that he still wears that headband. Brandon’s jet black hair always seems to attract attention due to how messy it is. He usually wears no shirt or a simple jacket that used to belong to his father. Brandon’s arms and legs are rather long, which does wonders for his fighting style since they allow him to land lots of good shots from far away and keep dangerous opponents at bay. He also has long, sharp nails, which he uses to scratch at opponents, should he find himself in a situation that calls for it.

Backstory/Motivations
Make sure to explain in detail why your character is becoming a Nomad, and what they hope to accomplish.
Fighting-Style
Brandon grew up surrounded by shaolin monks and their teachings of Kung Fu thanks to his father’s obsession with self-defense. Due to his special abilities, Brandon was able to quickly master three of the five animal styles of Shaolin Kung Fu (Leopard, Crane, and Dragon) as well as gaining intermediate understanding of the other two techniques (Tiger and Snake). Because of the specific animal styles that Brandon learned, his fighting style focuses on striking hard and striking fast to overwhelm the opponent. He always attempts to keep opponents at a distance with kicks and jabs to the body (to weaken his opponent’s core strength and basic functions) before moving up close and personal with hard yet decisive strikes to finish the fight (once the opponent has been weakened). Brandon’s special power is not one that can be spotted easily; as he possesses the ability to channel electricity through his limbs to deliver powerful shocks to the opponent’s nerves and limbs, effectively damaging and even completely deactivating them after only a few strikes if the opponent isn’t careful. Brandon can also channel this electricity and concentrate all of it on one or two limbs to gain mobility or extra damaging power with his attacks.
Special Attacks/Techniques
■Snake’s Venom
Brandon channels small amounts of electricity through his hands and feet as he hits his opponent, injecting it into their body little by little. Eventually, the amount of electricity becomes overwhelming and noticeable, causing the opponent to become exhausted and feel his limbs heavier than usual due to nerve damage.
■Thunder’s Roar
Brandon adopts the stance of the tiger, supercharging his fists, before charging at his opponent and sending all of the electricity held in his fists shooting through the air from his fists into his opponent. The sound of electricity shooting towards Brandon’s opponent resembles the roar of a wild tiger (hence the name). This move stuns the opponent and sets Brandon up for more offense.
â– Final Maelstrom
Brandon supercharges the blade of his foot and quickly jumps in the middle of multiple opponents, quickly spinning in circles so that he hits his opponents with the blade of his foot and slashes their flesh and potentially more with the electricity emanating from his foot.
â– Thunder Claw
Brandon forms his hand into a claw shape and charges the opponent quickly, supercharging said hand and proceeding to violently claw at the opponent, tearing their skin with the electricity-imbued nails of Brandon’s hand.
Super Moves
■Dragon’s Rage
Brandon will dash towards his opponent and kick their mid-section to stagger them. He will then focus all of the electricity within him into one leg and spinning twice before delivering a powerful, supercharged kick to the opponent’s head, sending a shock through their entire body and sending them flying into oblivion.
â– Fury of the Crane
Brandon supercharges his hands with electricity and immediately rushes his opponent at full speed. He then proceeds to swiftly strike limbs and organs with his fingers joined together in a crane shape, shocking every part of the opponent’s body that is struck to the point of said parts being disabled.
â– Leopard Death Dance
Brandon supercharges his fists with electricity and begins a ruthless assault with the single objective of rendering the opponent completely motionless. He will dash from side to side, resembling a sort of “dance” and strikes faster with each dash, until Brandon finally stops in front of his opponent and pounces on him like a leopard, driving his fists into the opponent’s chest and releasing the remaining electricity.
Weaknesses
Brandon’s attacks are delivered quickly and powerfully, almost with surgical precision, but, just like most things that run on electricity, Brandon can “run out of charge”. The electricity in his body, while “limitless” it drains Brandon of his energy and, the more tired Brandon gets the weaker and shallower his pool of usable electricity becomes. His Super Moves, while effective and highly destructive, should they miss their mark or be blocked, will leave Brandon completely drained and potentially unconscious for a good 30 seconds (which gives his opponent plenty of time to recuperate and kill Brandon). That’s not to say that Brandon isn’t efficient without electricity, but every time he resorts to using massive amounts of it, his body becomes as damaged as though it were struck by lightning, leaving him no option but to rest for up to 10 hours for his body to be back at 100%. This means that every time Brandon is forced out of using electricity and into fighting like a normal person, he’s considerably weaker than he would be without using electricity, causing him to avoid using electricity for unnecessary opponents and situations.
Other
Brandon may have an emotional weakness to do with his father, but this is unconfirmed as of yet; he is, however, seen staring at his father’s jacket for minutes on end without any rhyme or reason.
