[color=#DAA520][b]Name: [/b][/color][color=#b75454]Bolin Lài[/color]
[color=#DAA520][b]Alias: [/b][/color][color=#b75454]Foo Dog[/color]
[color=#DAA520][b]Age: [/b][/color][color=#b75454]23[/color]
[color=#DAA520][b]Gender: [/b][/color][color=#b75454]Male[/color]

[color=#DAA520][b]Herotype: [/b][/color][color=#b75454]Mythical beast[/color]

[color=#DAA520][b]Personality: [/b][/color][color=#b75454]Bolin is a smart-ass, make jokes on the fly, quick banter kind of superhero. When all else fails, at least he can joke about it. He does, however, know when to get serious. Bolin's other half, Shíshī, isn't so pleasant.  Shíshī is a serious mannered spirit. Between the two of them, they somehow manage to get shit done.[/color]

[color=#DAA520][b]Abilities: [/b][/color][color=#b75454] Bolin is at the height of human ability. He's fast, strong, agile, and durable. It also helps to be possessed by a Chinese guardian spirit. The spirit, Shíshī, allows Bolin to call upon brief moments of super strength and durability in a pinch, but the use of this strength quickly drains him. 

As a final resort, Bolin can allow Shíshī to come forth, transforming him into a very large, very strong [url=http://i.imgur.com/bdB95X9.jpg]creature[/url], often referred to in western culture as a Foo Dog. He can remain in this form indefinitely, until Shíshī relinquishes control and lets Bolin take his body back.[/color] 

[color=#DAA520][b]Appearance: [/b][/color][color=#b75454] Bolin fights with several forms of martial arts, so his costume must be comfortable. He wears yellow, red, and black, colors that resemble the form of Shíshī, his Foo dog. His weapon of choice is a pair of kamas. 

Without his costume on, Bolin is just your average man. He's about 5'10", has black hair, brown eyes, and is of Chinese descent. [/color]

[color=#DAA520][b]History: [/b][/color][color=#b75454]One has to wonder how a young man comes to be possessed by a giant lion spirit. Bolin was just a baby when he was taken from his home, in a small village in China, by a dark clan of demon worshipers called The Hand. The Hand planned to train Bolin and eventually summon a demon to possess his body so that he could aid them in their dark deeds. 

Bolin was raised by the villains, trained by their ideals. When it came time to have his body taken over, The Hand opened a portal to the spirit world to allow the demon to travel through. However, unknown to them a different spirit had been watching their actions, waiting to stop them. Shíshī came through instead, taking over Bolin's body and using his strength to destroy the Hand. When the villains had retreated back to their hidey holes, Shíshī gave Bolin control again, washing away the years of evil that had been trained into him. Shíshī was unable to return back to the spirit world now, forever bonded with Bolin. It took years for the two to find a way to get along. Bolin can often be seen talking to Shíshī, earning odd looks as it appears that he is speaking to himself.

Bolin is still searching for the remaining Hand members. They are all but extinct in China now, but a few branches remain in the United States. This is what brought Bolin over seas to fight. He's still hunting them down, occasionally doing other hero work on the side. [/color]
