[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 possesses the strength of a gorilla, which even 3 grown men can't hope to match. 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.

[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 when the situation calls for it.

[b]Short Bio:[/b] Shen was raised in a dojo, where he he first began learning the basics of Kung Fu. He realized that he was nothing special in regards to Kung Fu, but to him, it was enjoyable and it kept him fit. Plus, it kept him free from harm from bullies. Not may people wanted to get on his bad side when they learned that he took Kung Fu. Life wasn't bad for Shen at all. 

Of course, as time passed, things felt different. As Shen trained, he always felt the feeling that he was being watched. However, when he took the time to search around, nothing appeared, so he assumed it was just his imagination. Still, he could never shake the feeling, and when he tried to tell others, they either laughed it off or didn't believe him. Eventually, he just tried to shut out the feeling and forget it. Nothing was happening, anyway, so there was no reason for concern. Or so he thought.

As Shen became an adult, he was given a priceless family heirloom, an old staff with a long history. That was the time when the Youkai that had been observing made its move. Shen reached for the staff to protect himself, and felt a surge of energy from it. The Youkai was wuickly defeated and driven off, and Shen took the time to examine his new-found abilities and appearance. It was clear that he could do things few other humans could, and so began his life as a Chaser.

[b]Powers:[/b] -Increased strength and speed, surpassing that of most men his age.
-Qi manipulation: basically, the manipulation of life energy that is said to exist within all living beings. However, he is only able to manipulate his own and the energy within the nearby air. Qi is invisible to the naked eye, but can be observed by the shimmer of air as it is manipulated. Uses include infusing the ends of his staff and limbs for increased force in each blow, firing blasts of Qi energy (little to no damage, but strong knockback like a gust of wind), and manipulating his staff in midair as if using telekinesis on it.

[b]Weapons:[/b] -Monkey King's Staff: a Treasure that grants him his powers, as well as his monkey tail.

[b]Equipment:[/b] -Bag: a bag with a single drawstring, meant to be worn around the shoulder. Carries whatever Shen feels like carrying.
-Puzzle Ring (unsolved): Shen has been trying for a long time to solve it, and has currently failed every attempt.

[b]Other:[/b] Shen is rather decent at cooking.
