An Gan Xu Age: 22 Sex: Male Height: 6 feet Weight: 187 lbs. Reach: 77.2 in Physical Description: An Gan Xu is a tall man with a lean muscled body; broad shoulders, thick sinewy arms and narrow-hips, with solid muscular thighs and legs. With hazelnut brown eyes and shaggy black hair, An looks like any other young Muay Thai fighter wearing loose pants and tee-shirts. Around his neck, he wears the necklace of Mali Warat, considering it his most valuable possession. Skills: An is a deadly Muay Thai fighter having been trained by Mali Warat, learning how to incorporate his mutant ability to control gravity with his strikes. An’s muscles provided the force, but it is his uncanny speed of hand and foot that make him deadly. An is a supremely well rounded athlete with extreme conditioning. His shins and forearms are toughened to the point where he can break several thick bamboo rods in two with a single strike. An has learned to control his mutant gravity powers to the point he can incorporate them with his martial mastery making him a potent supernatural opponent. Powers: Gravity Control- An is a master of gravity. He is able to lift and move objects, fly by manipulating gravitational forces and otherwise control gravity. He has mastered several feats utilizing gravity. (A) Gravity Blast- By manipulating micropockets of intense gravity using his strikes, he can bash and batter a target by increasing the kinetic power. He has battered buildings into rubble, damage armored cars and destroyed vehicles with a single kick. His punches measure well over 2,550 lbs. of force, and his kicks registered 3,777 lbs. of force normally. When using this power his punches equal 5,780 lbs. of force and his kicks are 8,565 lbs. of force. Note that he cannot physically strike these objects or he will break his hand or foot. Rather he stops an inch from contact transferring the action into a micropocket of gravity that transfer the blow to the object/person he is striking. (B) Gravitational Field- An can alter the gravity in a given area. He can alter the gravitational pull up or down by .5 g’s. (Earth normal gravity is 1g). He can increase or reduce gravity by a maximum of 4 g’s (.5gs per prep) The weight of objects in the field, which ranges out to 30 yards (90 feet) is affected either increasing or decreasing by an equal amount. (A 100 kg/220.46 pound object in a 1.5g field weighs 150 kg/330.69 pounds. That same object in a 4g field weighs 500kg.or 1102.31 pounds). Something in a zero-g field weighs nothing, while something in a negative g-field fall upwards until out of the zone of influence and fall back. An can be selective in this ability, increasing the mass of some objects, decreasing others and leaving others alone. A creature or object that becomes too heavy cannot move or be moved and may collapse under its own weight if it becomes heavy enough. (C) Gravitational shield- An can project waves of gravity around himself. Doing so provides an excellent defense against incoming projectiles and deflects hand-to-hand physical attacks by either having them drop or rise away from him. This shield does not affect pure energy attacks like flame or electricity. (D) Gravitational flight- An can fly in a limited and slow manner at a rate of around 40 m/s (90 mph) maximum. History: An is a young man, tall and muscular in stature, the lean body curved and shaped by the years working his family’s farm during his youth. The small village became the target of the South Thailand Insurgency fighters, who came burning and slaughtering the people, taking the young girls and woman. The boys and men slain where they stood, well not exactly, they were offered a chance to fight first, yet none of the farmers had experience as a fighter. When they refused to take the weapons offered, the insurgents murdered the men where they stood. An fled from the village, hiding in the hills having seen the convoy approach while he had been working the sugar cane fields. As the insurgents made their way from the carnage and fire, their minds bent on rape and other sports they reserved for the woman they captured. In an anguished cry An watched his sisters dragged away and his mother shot down. This was too much, An in a rage somehow made the large truck the men had come in lift up then sudden smash down on the gunmen. Terrified at what he had seen, unaware that he was the cause of the truck killing the men, An made his way from the horrific scene. Turning one last time to see the place he grew up, burn to ash. Running during the night and hiding during the day, An, lost and confused, found a ruined temple complex in the forests along the Malay border. For the nine-year-old boy it was truly traumatic experience and one that shaped the next few years of his life. Upon waking from his fitful slumber, An explored the ruins, finding a small antechamber under the main floor. Inside he found a small statue made of pristine jade holding a gold and jade necklace. Upon closer inspection An realized he had stumbled upon a statue to Mali Warat – the God of Justice. Falling to his knees, he begged for assistance from the God. As he pleaded, the necklace fell off the outstretched hands and landed before him. Putting the necklace around his neck An found himself transported to another time and place. Before the mighty God Mali Warat stood before him, his stern scowl told An all he needed to know; Mali Warat would teach him to exact justice. For the next thirteen years An learned the arts of Muay Thai and Silat from Mali Warat, additionally he slowly mastered his control over gravity with the guidance of the God. Now An, at twenty-two is older and much . . . much wiser, having mastered his gravity control as well as his martials arts during the rigorous training under Mali Warat’s stern eye. An is fast and has strength that is often hidden by the baggy clothes he wears, couple that with his gravity control he has begun exacting vengeance and administering justice to those who bring undue suffering to those unable to defend themselves.
