An assassin with a poofy afro appears in front of you, muttering the last words you'd ever hear:

[i]"... I've come to kill you."[/i]

[color=firebrick][u][b]APPEARANCE          [/b][/u][/color]
[indent]Shayton is a man of mystery that carries himself with a subdued presence. He takes small steps, speaks in a low tone, and has a massive afro that conceals his upper face (He can still see fine, too). Shayton has a small presence as well because he's approximately five-two and despite that, he is incredibly muscular from years upon years of physical training. He's at the ultimate peak of a Nomad, and that shows when he uses lightning-fast moves. Though he has one peculiarity; on his arms and legs, he has panther spots that give off the idea that he's a cat. Shayton wears a traditional black kung fu jacket with white lining and a black pants with a red band around his waist. When Shayton is out, he usually pulls his sleeves up.[/indent]

[color=firebrick][u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION          [/b][/u][/color]
[indent]Shayton keeps his past a secret and no one knows his true name, because no one needs to know it. He uses the name Shayton because he's far too dis. However, one day an orphan [i]somehow[/i] drifted from Africa and ended up at a Shaolin Monastery along with a bunch of other orphans. The compassionate Master Wang took them all in, and trained them - and in return, they did things around the Monastery like clean up or fix things and they all grew up to be badass nomads...

... Or they would be if this was any other kind of story.

In actuality, Master Wang and the Monastery was a front for an assassin cult, and all of the children were being trained to fulfill his goals for changing the world. They were all being taught a form of the five animal martial arts made for assassination and they were none the wiser. In time, they caught on as whoever didn't meet the master's standards was silently disposed of and their training became a lot more intense. Master Wang started to attempt to indoctrinate them with his insane logic and they fell one by one until there were only Shayton and a few others. Shayton, even as a youth, knew this kind of despotism and realized he didn't want anything to do with it. He was Master Wang's best and brightest student, a true assassin if he knew anything... and he decided to flee from that lifestyle. 

One day he simply vanished, Wang was searching for him and he couldn't find him. All because of the very training that Wang gave him, Shayton could never be found. The boy traveled back to Africa but saw a very different place than what he was used to... though he pondered if the continent was different or if he was different. Either way, Shayton realized that he had no place in Africa and moved on. Eventually, he found himself in the nation of Brazil that started out as a poor beggar before he realized that there was one thing that he was good at Killing.

Shayton became a hitman that killed people for whoever paid him the most. He easily disposed of most of his targets with such speed and brutal efficiency it took them a few moments before they even realized that they were dead. However, just as an insult to his master he refused to kill his foes from the back, and would always give them an honorable death. Though, over time he stopped caring about the money and eventually just wanted to fight other Nomads. The thrill of battle was more important to him than the battle and would only take missions if they seemed like they would be fun. Because of this, Shayton became a legendary assassin across the world whose very name is feared.

However, he dashed all of that away as he fell in love with a Nomad from Brazil named Brenda Andrade whom he met in a tournament. She was put off by the assassin, but he was persistent. He vowed to put aside his assassin lifestyle and live a life as a changed man. Which was just what he did; Shayton the assassin disappeared and all the money he earned as an assassin was donated to charity. Brenda became Shayton's everything as he became a working man and they had lots of children and everything was perfect.

... But, the past has a habit of catching up to him. Master Wang wanted back his assassin, Wang had a place for him. Shayton came home one day and the unthinkable occurred; his entire family was dead and Wang had left a note for him to come back to the temple. Shayton fell to his knees... but he wanted revenge. After burying his family he went straight for the temple donning a belt that was coated in their blood. 

Arriving at the temple, Shayton killed every single one of Wang's followers until he came to the master himself in their own fighting arena. He challenged Shayton, telling him that he implanted weaknesses in his style just in the event that he betrayed him. The two fought to the death, but Wang was too overconfident - far too overconfident - for his own good and didn't factor into account that Shayton may have devised some techniques of his own. Shayton kills Wang by punching him so hard in the chest that his heart flew out of his back when Shayton crushed before he burned the temple to the ground.

With nothing to live for... the legendary assassin returned and took the Nomad world by storm. He had no purpose other than to fight and the money didn't matter anymore. He donates all of his money to whoever needs it more, he just wants to fight.

[color=firebrick][h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr][/color]

[indent][color=firebrick][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE          [/b][/u][/color]
[indent]Shayton's fighting style is similar to Leopard-Style Kung Fu (in fact it's a custom version of it). Regular Leopard Style empathizes speed and outsmarting the opponent... [i]Lightning[/i] Leopard-Style is that taken to the extreme. Shayton's training and ki allow him to travel immense speeds in mere seconds and his attacks hit so fast that nobody can see him swing; they just see the result. As a result, Shayton can hit people from great distances away in the blink of an eye and overwhelm the slow with his mere speed. However, the assassin doesn't use this speed in the typical sense; instead of overwhelming opponents with a barrage of strikes Shayton always goes for deliberate strikes to sensitive areas and either retreat or go for another one.[/indent]

[color=firebrick][u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES          [/b][/u][/color]


[indent][u]■   Instantaneous Movement.[/u]
[indent]Shayton in a burst of pure speed, simply moves to the desired spot in the blink of an eye. If it wasn't for the wind, it would appear as if he teleported.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Fatal Blow[/u]
[indent]Shayton jams two fingers into an opponent's pressure point which should be enough to stun them for a moment to allow Shayton to begin a combo.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Leopard's Paw[/u]
[indent]Shayton dashes forward at lightning speeds, slashing at his opponent with his fingers in the shape of a leopard's fist. As he slashes, he leaves behind a trail of red ki in the style of claw marks. This attack will leave deep cuts in an opponent and could potentially cut through steel and he can do this in any direction.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Deceptive Strike[/u]
[indent]A counter move in which Shayton pretends to be hit by a melee attack before he dashes forward and retaliates with a precise strike of his own.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Claw of the Tiger[/u]
[indent]Shayton puts both palms together for a moment as he charges up a powerful attack that'll send the opponent flying into the nearest surface. He can also make this a dashing attack if he charges up more.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Shadow-Boxing[/u]
[indent]A show-off, just for fun, move that Shayton put together. He appears to throw threw attacks; a punch, a downwards swipe of his hands like a claw, and a roundhouse that'll hit the opponent like a projectile. In [i]actuality[/i] he's going to the opponent and hitting them at lightning fast speeds and coming back. It's actually quite damaging, if flashy.[/indent][/indent]


[color=firebrick][u][b]SUPER MOVES          [/b][/u][/color]

[indent] [u]■   True-Speed[/u]
[indent]Shayton charges up and powers himself up to a point where he gets so fast that he bypasses all bounds and laws of physics. Shayton reaches a point where everyone else is going in slow motion while he's moving at regular speeds. He can keep this going for a few minutes (his time) before he has to stop. In this state, any attacks hit so [i]hard[/i] that they injure him, and he has to hit very carefully or else he'll break his own limbs in the process.[/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   Instant Death[/u]
[indent]A simple move, he dashes past his opponent and appears on the other side of them. A few moments later, an injury appears on his opponent's body (he prefers the chest).[/indent][/indent]

[color=firebrick][u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS          [/b][/u][/color]
[indent]Now, Shayton is a speedy champion that is a master assassin, but his style wasn't built around up front fights. Shayton's style was built to quickly go in and kill the opponent and withdraw to try again. He doesn't do too good at up close fist to fist brawls, especially against opponents who have the reflexes and speed to match him. In addition, Shayton doesn't have any tools or options against an airborne opponent, even if they're jumping; his speed doesn't work too good in the air so he doesn't even try it. Finally, Shayton is so averse to hitting an opponent from behind that he has mentally conditioned himself so the act is [i]near[/i] impossible. Even if its a robotic opponent, he'll always hit them from the front, even if it's stupid to do so.[/indent]
