The girl has a very gaunt, but very fit athletic figure with well toned muscles. On her back are blackened lines, like darkened blood vessels, covering the length of her spine and radiating outwards across her whole back. The lines can be seen front as well, with some of the dark lines peeking up over her shoulders slightly. Despite looking like a girl about to enact some violent massacre Brown is usually seen with a smile on her face. Her genuine happiness and positive attitude doesn't mesh well with her appearance, making her look even more threatening and unnerving then normal. Her typical nomad attire is made up of a hole ridden brown jacket, a belt in place of a bra, camouflaged khaki pants with a belt and shoulder straps, leg wraps, and battered leather boots. In a fight Brown typically ditches her jacket or any other chest wear other then what's covering the mosquito bites passing for her boobs.

Runsu, the Japanese master of the “PUNISHING FIST” and Verga, founder of the School of the Tranquil Wave fighting style, had been in fierce competition with each other since they met one another. It was only after a rare heart to heart did they find their feelings for each other as well as their desire to pass on their teachings and strength to a child. Ditching the complexities and responsibilities of getting married, the two went to work and in just a few months Verga had a fully developed ball of life growing inside her. One trip to the hospital later and the vessel which the two Nomads intended to lay all their legacies on was born. Or so they thought. Shortly before their child was born tests informed them that something was wrong with it. The baby had Senshinobēn or “Warrior’s Bane”. A hereditary disease/birth defect that was infamous for enfeebling the offspring of otherwise potent fighters. Instead of inheriting the Ki of their parents, those inflicted with Warrior’s Bane were born with Ki levels lower than even that of regular untrained people. Devastated by the news Verga and Runsu's excitement over the birth of their child was all but extinguished. The birth of their baby girl was met with frustration and bitter disappointment. In a moment of overwhelming negative emotion their daughter's name was decided. Shippai. The Japanese word meaning [i]failure. [/i] Despite how she was born the two insisted on training her. Pushing her from the moment she could walk to be strong and excel in what they were good at. Though the blight was apart of who their daughter was, they weren't willing to accept it. Insisting that the bane could be overcome or even 'fixed' if certain methods or training was applied. Yet as the years pressed on and their daughter grew older, her Ki levels remained absolutely feeble, and the two began to lose patience. Shippai's parents began to get in disagreements and the positive feelings between them became soured. Those feelings trickled down to Shiappi as her parents struggled to see her as anything but one big failure that took up years of their precious lives and served to mock their efforts to be remembered as powerful fighters. At just 7 years old the little girl didn’t fully understand what the name they gave her meant, but it didn’t take long for her parents feelings to become clear. One day they woke up Shippai and took her out on a hiking trail far away from their home, far away from everything. Finding a bench along the forest path her parents told Shippai to wait there and left. hey never came back. For two days she sat and waited for them. Eventually hunger forced her to leave, but she was unable to find her way back home and became lost in the forest. Collapsing amidst the moss and fallen leaves, the little girl was found by a one armed women with fox ears. The women was Matsu, a Kitsune and former nomad who’d been on the rise just a year prior before a match with a [i]particular individual[/i] ended with the loss her her arm and the end of her career as a Nomad. Getting the lost girl something to eat Matsu helped Shippai make her way back home. Upon returning to her house however Shippai found the door locked and through the window she could see it was totally empty. A nearby realtor explained that the owners of the house had sold the house and it’s contents before separating and heading off to parts unknown. No number, no message, no remote hint of where they could be. Shippai’s parents were gone. Abandoned with nowhere to go the little girl didn’t know what else to do but fall to her knees in front of her former home and cry. Unable to bare the sight before her the fox-eared women took the girl back to her home and adopted her as her own. The first thing Matsu did with her new daughter was give her a proper name. Shippai's old name was thrown away and from then on Matsu began calling her Kasshoku meaning “Brown” like chocolate, hardy Fall leaves, and the life giving soil. With a new start on life Brown was able to put what happened to her behind her for a while. Living with the kind and loving Kitsune healed her wounded heart. The women, who had no blood relation to her, gave her all the things her parents refused too. Affection, understanding, gifts, and a true sense of worth and appreciation. Even when Brown failed, Matsu never scolded her or berated her. All that waited for her when she did something wrong was kind words and concern for her well being. Her parent's faces faded into distant memory as she began to go to school and live a normal life in Japan. For a time Brown could hold her head high and smile. Yet as she met difficulties in school and began to get picked on due to her strange appearance, what her parents believed her to be came flooding back. [i]A failure.[/i] [u]A weakling.[/u] [b]An inferior pile of flesh.[/b] Just the idea of being born automatically lesser than everyone else angered Brown. She began to get into fights at school and her grades suffered. Seeking an outlet Brown began to physically train herself. At first it was blind training, pushing herself, punching trees, burying herself in pain and strain in order to forget her problems. Matsu eventually learned what was troubling her and offered to help train her. While the former Nomad’s own style was too Ki-based to be used by the blighted girl, she was able to point her in the right direction to develop her own style. Starting with exercises with a Yo-Yo her adoptive mother had gifted her their first Christmas together, Brown slowly grew into a warrior. Her muscles hardened, her resolve bolstered, and her poultry almost nonexistent levels of Ki expanded. They were still meager even after a decade of training but the fact they’d expanded at all was a testament to Brown’s hard work. When she turned 18 years old Brown left her home in Japan and began to wander the world, seeking to expand her horizons and learn all she could. Brown fought in back alley brawls, underground cage matches, and in simple grudge matches against gifted fighters flaunting their natural ‘talent’. At first she earned nothing but bitter losses and the taste of her own blood. Yet slowly she began to accumulate wins, pushed harder and harder to succeed and grow as the memory of her parents actions festered inside her. Many of the people she faced on her journeys tried to convince her no matter how hard she worked, there were some things she simply couldn’t do. Those people ended up choking on their own teeth with crushed ribs and arms broken like popsicle sticks. At twenty two years old Brown decided that she would prove her parents wrong. She would become a strong Nomad. [u][b]The strongest Nomad[/b][/u]. She would fight and leave people born ‘better’ than her on their knees crippled and robbed of the gifts they mocked her with. Brown would make her parents regret what they did and admit they were wrong. [i]No matter who had to die for that to happen. [/i] Steeling herself Brown got ready to join a fighting tournament in Jio. However Matsu’s instance on making her a packed lunch (which turned into several dozen) caused her to miss the sign ups and the initial rounds of the tournament itself. Outside the stadium she encountered a number of thugs and did battle with them, joined by a doctor and a number of other strange individuals. When robots attacked the stadium Brown joined the fray, using her FULL RELEASE ability to rip the leg off a massive robot and use it as a club to deal tremendous damage to it. Collapsing and blacking out from the pain and strain Brown survived, treated by the doctor she tagged along with him and the group around him seeing them as 'friends'. [/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE [/b][/u] [indent]Brown’s fighting style is vicious and wholly unrestrained, emulating traditional martial arts to a degree but ultimately boiling down to self-taught bare knuckled improvisation. She focuses on largely Ki-less fighting balanced around close quarters fighting and the swinging of a Yo-yo with a particular use of hard contact strikes over energy based attacks. Closed fists, elbows, knees, and even headbutts, anything to drive into the enemy to make them hurt. Her moves have a balance of reach and verticality, with her Yo-Yo allowing her to strike at enemies who might otherwise be out of reach.[/indent] [u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u] [indent][u]■ [Warrior’s Bane][/u] [indent][One of the only good things to come out of being a diseased weakling. Thanks to the nature of Brown's hereditary illness her Ki is naturally more difficult to sense. This passive 'ability makes regular Ki-sensing and similar techniques that revolve around seeing, locating, or feeling Ki are largely ineffective against Brown. It also makes it extremely difficult to tell how much Ki she has, preventing her enemies from easily gauging her strength.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Fresh Blood Surge][/u] [indent][Through direct overclocking of her adrenal glands and liver, Brown can detox great quantities of her blood while flooding the fresh blood with adrenaline. This allows her to flush poisons out of her body and burn off any anesthesia or sleep inducing substances introduced or exposed to her body. (Usable once per fight)][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Heddodibaida "HEAD DIVIDER"][/u] [indent][A vicious grab breaker move where upon being grappled, Brown lurches forward or backwards and delivers a headbutt straight to the face of her opponent. The force of the blow is significant, but leaves her temporarily dizzied after use. [i]Move cannot be used in rapid succession.[/i]][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Sukaisendā "SKY SENDER"][/u] [indent][Through vigorously toned lower body muscles Brown kicks off the ground and launches upwards in an elbow uppercut, smashing the hard end of her arm into any enemy directly in front of or above her with an unpleasant degree of force. This move allows her to strike at flying or floating targets who would otherwise appear out of her reach.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Āmīrippā "ARMY RIPPER"][/u] [indent][Dropping to the ground or kicking off into the air, Brown throws out her leg and enters into a violent spin. Smashing away anything or anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the spinning circular saw motion. This wide reaching attack can strike at multible targets or opponents surrounding her weather directly around or above her.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Taikutsunakiba "FADED FANG"][/u] [indent][By flowing her Ki into a simple Yo-yo and back into her own body, Brown can make a simple toy as hard as a steel mace. Swinging it around she can whip or thrash enemies at a range, able to hurl, spin, and throw the Yo-Yo to hit just about anywhere the string can reach.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Shīrudosupin "Shield Spin" ][/u] [indent][Whipping her Yo-yo in a circular motion, building up momentum and speed, Brown holds it out in front of her. The Yo-yo whips around like a propeller acting as a shield, deflecting or destroying any incoming projectiles.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Chigēmu "BLOOD GAME"][/u] [indent][A combo move where Brown throws out her Yo-yo and wraps it around an opponent. Pulling them forward she smashes them with her elbow, then pulls back on the string to yank them into another attack, and another, and another before pulling the string and sending them into a spin where she delivers a kick to the back of their head.][/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u] [indent] [u]■ [GIGA-TUMMO][/u] [indent][The body control temperature technique g-tummo taken to the extreme. After years of training Brown can control her body temperature and raise it to to the point her skin scalds others and melts ice on contact. When activated Brown’s skin becomes flushed and she begins to steam, becoming highly resistant to cold and low temperature based attacks. At the same time her touch attacks gain additional burning damage and she becomes difficult to grab or grapple by others without being scalded by her high temperature skin. Giga-Tummo only asks a few minutes as making her body too hot for too long can have detrimental effects on her health.][/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ [Fururirīsu “FULL RELEASE”][/u] [indent][Suppressing her body’s natural regulator functions, Brown can push her muscles, organs, and nervous system to extreme lengths. Adrenaline production sky rockets, her heart thunders behind her ribs, and her muscles harden with new found strength. When active Full Release doubles Brown’s movement speed, reaction times, and physical strength. However Brown can only use Full Release for 1 (5?) minutes in total as the power comes from taxing her body and not from Ki usage. Muscles snap, blood vessels burst, and bones break under the force of her own blows. Once Full Release times out Brown’s attacks become weaker, her movement speed is halved, and she’s left with whatever injuries she sustained from her super charged strikes for the rest of the match.][/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ [Sourusurō “SOUL THROW”][/u] [indent][Pooling every single drop of her meager Ki reserves into a single attack Brown launches a golf ball sized orb of Ki at her enemy from one of her limbs. While the amount of Ki is small, it’s super condensed and fired off with the full force of her fighting spirit. What would normally be a meager, spammable Ki attack for anyone else, is turned into a defense piercing attack. Hair stands on end, her eyes dilate, and the flesh of the limb she channels her Ki into gets hot. Lunging the limb out a small concentrated ball of dark almost hazel colored Ki is release. It cuts through the air in a spiraling motion, tearing through anything in it’s path from sheer rotation force and heat, moving and hitting like a shot fired from an anti-material rifle. While penetrative and very accurate, the attack requires all of Brown’s Ki. If she whiffs the shot or the enemy simply doesn’t go down upon being hit, she’s basically lost. While she can stay standing for a little while after using the attack, it’s normal for her to collapse or outright blackout after firing from the strain.][/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u] [indent]Brown suffers from a hereditary disease that prevented her from inheriting her parents power and started her off in life with far below average Ki. It took her countless years of brutal training just to get to the point of being above average. Even with her best efforts Brown will always have an unimpressive amount of Ki and will be at a disadvantage against those who were born with plenty of it. On top of that she can be incredibly sensitive and easily manipulated by her own feelings of weakness. Her fighting style, while being balanced and well ranged, lacks any potent Ki-based abilities. Up against a powerful Ki user or a fighter with specialized defense against martial attacks, Brown's in deep trouble. [/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][indent]Despite being a 'Nomad' Brown enjoys making regular trips home when injured or unable to train in order to check up on her adoptive mother. When unable to travel back she makes frequent phone calls (when she can steal a phone or mooch a free call of someone) to her.[/indent][/indent] [indent][indent]Brown is normally a rather pleasant person to be around, despite her tenancies to eat other peoples food and in general act weird. However when it comes to naturally gifted people she can be rather cruel, often going out of her way to intentionally sabotage or ruin things for otherwise good people because she sees them as an enemy due to the breaks they caught in life... [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent]Brown likes going without a shirt and walking around with just a belt covering her chest bits. Why people would have a problem with this is legitimately lost on Brown.

She stands around 5 feet 11 inches and has short cut golden blond hair, the color of freshly cut idyllic wheat. A pair of fox ears sticks up from the top of her head with white fur marking the tips. Her skin as a sunny, fair complexion that gives a wild yet regal air to her even in the most violent and degrading of circumstances. While physically healthy with a lithe, toned athletic figure one would expect to see on a martial artist Matsu is missing her right arm. Severed above the elbow the grievous wound has since scarred over. It remains covered in a folded up sleeve at all times. [/indent] [u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u] [indent][list] [*] Supportive [*] Nurturing [*] Mischevious [*] Funloving [*] Embittered [*] Spiteful [/list][/indent] [u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u] Matsu was born in the mountains of Japan in the early 1900s. A part of a litter of twelve steppe Kitsune, mystical fox-like creatures capable of controlling the wind with their tails and shape-shifting. Her youth was spent the same as many other Kitsunes; Toying with humans and pulling all kinds of frustration inducing and unnerving tricks on them. Japan was a beautiful place with a rich culture, however the rather stern disposition of the people made them incredibly gratifying to bother and harass with trickery. Many Kitsunes well into their nine tails were content with living as mischievous spirits. Matsu however grew bordered and frustrated with her siblings. Seeking to break away from the life other Kitsunes led Matsu looked for something drastic to set herself apart. One day she slipped into a mountain top monastery and caught sight of many monks practicing their martial arts. Watching from the shadows Matsu felt entranced by the movements and strange elegance of what the humans did. For a time she watched but eventually grew confident enough to try and mimic them, slowly learning on her own until seeking proper instruction. For years afterwards Matsu spent her days studying countless martial arts, filling her days with fights against skilled humans and other other Yokai of Japan. A great many number of human years passed and Matsu found herself an accomplished fighter. During that time the nation of Japan became embroiled in a great number of wars, including two "World Wars". It was during the second of the two "World Wars" that Matsu witnessed terrible acts of destruction. She became mistrustful, if not somewhat hateful towards militant human organizations after seeing the horrific things done by both the foreign invaders and the native people of her land. With two cities reduced to ashen graves in brilliant blasts of light and heat, Matsu saw fit to leave Japan and seek what the rest of the world had to offer. On her adventures she was joined by her young sister who was eager to tag along. Decades past and upon reaching her 100th birthday Matsu gained her second tail. Her growth and tales of her fighting prowess earned her the attention of a wonderful mate. At the same time her sister had learned enough from her to go off on her own. For a time everything for Matsu seemed perfect. Then one day it all came crashing down. Matsu encountered a strange being, a werewolf of a most fearsome and viscous demeanor. She came to blows with the werewolf in a clash for her life. Though she survived her fighting ability simply wasn't enough and her arm was cut clean from her body. The loss of the limb destroyed the style she had developed over nearly 100 years and crushed her fighting capability. Her humiliation and near death shamed her mate, causing him to leave her for good. Around the same time Matsu received word that her sister, who was [i]traveling with a doctor[/i] had died under tragic circumstances. Abandoned, broken, humiliated, and deprived of those she loved Matsu returned to Japan. She settled down in a forest thinking only of escaping the sorrow and sadness she was burdened with. A few years passed and her heart remained wounded. Then one day, while walking through the woods, Matsu came upon a little girl crying on a forest path near a bench. Comforting the girl, assuming her to simply be lost, Matsu led her out of the woods and tried to help her find her parents. After just a little bit of searching it became clear that her parents had abandoned her and left the country all together. Unwilling to leave the human girl to fend for herself Matsu took the child in, giving her the name "Brown" to replace the insulting name given to the child at birth. For years the Kitsune lived in the woods with the sickly child. Teaching her, feeding her, and helping her to grow strong while giving her the love she seemed to have been deprived of. Having Brown in her life made Matsu able to forget the pain of losing her arm, her sister, and the pain of losing her mate and the chance to have a child of her own. Years passed and Brown eventually sought to leave and travel the world to grow stronger. Matsu allowed her to go with her blessing and a small mountain of packed lunches. With Brown's absence however came all the doubts, fears, and shame that Matsu had tried so hard to bury with her new found happiness. It became impossible for her not to relive the moment of her humiliating defeat and the death of her sister. Worse yet is Matsu remembered that the little girl she had come to care for was human, and as a Kitsune she was capable of outliving her several dozen times over. Seeking some means of dashing her fears Matsu began to retrain herself to fight with one arm. Years have passed since that decision and now Matsu finds herself ready to step onto the world stage once more. Eager to support brown and seek a remedy for the pain in her life. [/indent] [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE [/b][/u] Before the loss of her arm Matsu fought with a fluid mix of martial arts (and similar sects of fightIng) that she had come to learn over her many years of study and travel. With the loss of her right arm however she became unable to use the style effective as it required the use of two functional arms. Working hard however Matsu has worked to salvage what she learned and re-apply it to her current state of being. Now Matsu fights using her remaining left arm, legs, her ability to manipulate wind, and her innate kitsune trickery. Her fighting style is fast and relies on precise defence penetrating strikes, deception, and agility. Striking where her enemies are most vulnerable and ‘widening’ those vulnerabilities to abuse further. [u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u] [indent][u]■ [Pinpoint Strike][/u] [indent][With her hand flat Matsu lungs out with her arm and strikes an enemy, delivering a tremendous amount of force to a small area through her fingertips to deal an armor-crushing penetrative blow.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Knee Breeze][/u] [indent][With an enemy close Matsu thrusts out her knee, focusing her ki into the cap and twisting the air in front of it to give a drill-like spin to the blow capable of ripping flesh and mangling reinforced steel. ][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Air Injection][/u] [indent][An anti-hold technique Matsu developed out of a fear of someone abusing the fact she only had a single arm. By running her ki through her arm she can strengthen and stiffen the fine hairs along it, turning them into what amount to tiny hypodermic needles. By running air through/along the hairs Matsu is able to ‘inject’ high pressure bubbles into any flesh/material in close proximity with her skin. Upon entering into flesh, stone, or metal, the bubbles rapidly expand and cause devastating damage. More than enough to destroy any restrains binding her arm or injure any limb grappling her own.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Transformation][/u] [indent][Using her innate Kitsune ability Matsu can transform herself to look like another person regardless of gender, size, or build. Though she does not inherent that individual's strength, abilities, or the proper use of their working right arms, she is able to mimic their appearance and voices perfectly with only her shadow giving her away. Though not particularly effective in direct confrontations Matsu can use this to devastating effect in debilitating psychological attacks on her enemies. Taking the form of those they care about or held dear and angering them or wounding their confidence by saying horrible things to them. Out of combat she can use her ability to escape trouble by disguising or fish for information by posing as others.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Aerial Mine][/u] [indent][Compressing gases into a ball and binding them with her ki, Matsu is able to create a baseball sized directional 'mine' of sorts. When touched or disturbed it will 'unfurl' like a tightly wound ball of razor wire erupting and slashing the one who disturbed it, unleashing a sudden swirl of steel cutting gales. Invisible to the naked eye Matsu is able to stick these 'mines' to anything, even herself, to set up traps and use for tricks. However Matsu is only able to make two of these mines at once and they are detectable by those with powerful senses or sensors. ][/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u] [color=FFD700][h3] [u]■ [KAMIKAZI DIVINE WIND OF DESTRUCTION!][/u][/h3][/color] [indent][Focusing all her ki into her left arm Matsu begins to pull in gases from the environment around her. She compresses them into a disk suspended above her open palm. Then she begins to spin the disk. Fast and faster, amassing insane speed and momentum with every momentum. Until the disk of compressed air looks like a miniature hurricane in her palm, whipping the air around it like a proper storm. Racing towards her enemy Matsu swings out her arm as if it were a sword and slams the disk into her enemy. The spinning disk of compressed air cuts like an anti-material saw, finer and sharper than any normal blade crafted by mortal hands could. It pierces all but the most significant of defences, parting any material it comes in contact with so cleanly you would never expect they were connected to begin with. Matsu can only maintain the ‘saw’ for so long however and while capable of throwing it, the saw dissipates rapidly after leaving her palm. ][/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u] Matsu is fast, precise, and skilled. However powerful she may be however in contests of raw strength of overt physical force she will likely lose. Her power and fighting style relies on the precise application of power. Broader demands for physical strength leave her at a disadvantage. The loss of one of her arm also leaves her at something of a disadvantage leaving her right side vulnerable to attacks and difficult to defend under normal circumstances. Her attacks and fighting style usually require close contact to work, meaning fights at a distance are a losing proposition for her. [h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr] Matsu is more or less Brown's surrogate mother. As a result she enjoys doting on Brown and is extremely protective of her. [/hider]
