[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.
