She directs raw power to her hands and releases it upon impact, turning her punches into kinetic missiles capable of knocking people through the air and breaking down doors. [*][i][color=f7941d]Aegis of Will[/color]:[/i] Although it costs her freedom of movement, Masuyo can also diffuse that same power through her entire body, using it as an armor. It's weaker in this form since it's less concentrated, but it's enough to send attackers reeling backwards unless they're using potent magic.[/list] [b][color=f7941d]Weapons:[/color][/b] Her only weapon is a pair of brass knuckles with sharpened studs. [b][color=f7941d]Appearance:[/color][/b] Masuyo stands at 5'9" (175 cm) and weighs 145 lbs (66 kg). [b][color=f7941d]Personality:[/color][/b] Masuyo is relatively straight forward, and it's clear that there isn't a lot of subtlety where she's concerned. She has a laid back personality which shrugs off negativity from others, but she's a hard worker with a unrelenting thirst for getting stronger. In her downtime she can be found training and drinking with friends, and she believes in maintaining an equal mixture of work and play. Fortunately, she has a hard time distinguishing the two because she loves a good fight with challenging opponents. She can also be headstrong, and a little cocky, but you can always trust her to keep her word. [b][color=f7941d]History:[/color][/b] For the first years of her life Masuyo had no idea about her magical talents. Her family hadn't been affiliated with any of the Houses, big or small, in generations and had no idea about any lineage of magic. She spent most of her youth lamenting her perpetual boredom, but then she discovered martial arts through a school club. Discovering the power of her body, watching the muscles take shape in response to her effort, was a wonderful sensation. However, after rising to the top in the club sanctioned fights, they began to seem too tame for her burgeoning talents. She wanted something more challenging, somethign [i]dangerous[/i]. She did some snooping around, found herself in some dark corners, and discovered underground fighting. In these places, the only rule was victory. She managed to hide the extra money by not spending it, but the bruises were more visible. When her parents asked why she was so beaten up she'd say the club was training extra hard for an event, since they weren't particularly involved in her life this excuse worked on them, but it didn't work on the martial arts club. When her lies were discovered, she was expelled from school for participating in underground fighting ring, but that didn't stop her. She was old enough to make her own decisions, and the money was good, so she left home. For Masuyo, the next few years were spent on the street, scraping by on the merits of her fists. That all changed when she was approached by a low-ranking member of Gryphes who had seen her match. He told her Gryphes was looking for fighters, and that she might even get to use a magic item if she was good enough. She had heard about the dangerous magical house, and thought it was the best way to find challenging opponents, to put her life on the line for that sweet rush of adrenaline. After doing some bottom-rung work for Gryphes, she was tested with a blank gem. It was tossed to her by another member, and when she caught it the gem flared bright amber. That was a few years ago, since then she's climbed up higher in the House's standings and has eagerly trained with her magic, with her eyes set on the very top.
