He fled to the west, where he was eventually picked up by a traveling circus, which, in turn, led to Cloud Reach. [b]Height[/b] 5'9 [b]Weight[/b] 145 pounds [b]Mutant's Mark[/b] His exotic appearance speaks for itself. [b]Appearance[/b] Is As Depicted Above. Additional information includes a furry tail and pointed teeth. [b]Personality[/b] Xiao, was called "Monkey" for a reason. As a monkey is often depicted, he is quite mischievous, playful, and kind. He's clever and talkative, with a friendly atmosphere that latches onto the good spirits of those around him. Xiao comes across as simple-minded and childlike in stature. Though, that is merely the outer layer. On the inside, he is actually pretty contemplative and reserved in a way counter-intuitive to how he portrays himself. He knows when the time to take things much more seriously is, and his knowledge of it is characterized by silence. He is rather humble typically views others above him; "better refined, better looking, better intelligent," etc. Duo to Xiao's instinctive connection to nature and animals, he finds himself more attuned with his care for them above most regular people. He isn't one to shy away from a physical confrontation when it comes down to it, and is always ready to put the skills he's learned to the test. With that in mind, though, he doesn't actively seek out conflict. [b]Everyday Skills[/b] While his acrobatical abilities do draw a large crowd, his comedic nature tends to entertain just as well. He was, effectively, the 'clown' of the circus, where he is often free to go about his antics without much consequence. He is also very good at packing things. It's said that he could pile an entire town on the back of a cart a mile high without it falling. Another is his tracking capablities, as his sense of smell in combination with several other factors enabling him to find things where many others may not be able. [b]Combat Skills[/b] Xiao is a capable fighter. His prowess lies in hand-to-hand combat as his most proficient skill, being taught in particularly the Animal Styles of Wushu. As obvious as it seems now, the easiest form for him to use is that of monkey style, however he is also skilled in his use of other animals and blending the forms together into his own style. Because of this training though, he has a heavy preference to get up close and personal with his opponents. He'll evade and taunt them, effectively playing with them to gauge how it would be best to defeat them. [b]Equipment[/b] Other than the clothes on his back, the only remnant of his master was his old walking stick. Don't be fooled though, it is quite heavy and can be used as a weapon if need be. [b]Powers[/b] ⚫ Xiao's physiology is very different from most people. Although looking like a costumed person in some cases, he is a true child of the wild. He possesses the strength of an elephant, the senses of a bird of prey, the speed of a wildcat, and the heart of a man. ⚫ Of course, while all the other things are cool, his most apparent abilities trace from his primate roots. He is highly agile, a master climber and very flexible. Along with this, his tail is very dextrous and he can hold things with it. ⚫ Xiao can communicate with animals of all sorts, from the tallest giraffe to the smallest ant. This in turn, makes it much easier for him to tame them and aid others in terms of their relationships with nature's inhabitants. He can also impose the will of his humanly conscious mind to make them do what he wants, though he doesn't often desire to. [b]Weaknesses[/b] ⚫ Despite his many abilites, some of them require upkeep to maintain top condition. This would mean regular exercise and eating a lot of food as an animal would. Balancing these two things is also very important, as eating too much without as much movement could lead to hibernation, while the alternative will leave him burned out very quickly. ⚫ A lot of his poise and agility relies on his tail. Any damage to it will effect his balance, as it is the main thing that allows him to walk upright opposed to crouching or walking on all fours. The status of his tail determines his mobility to a fault. ⚫ When it comes to his interactions with animals, he has to be careful which he attempts his mental compulsion on. This is because of the fact that too much interaction with them could result in his own instincts taking over. Should that happen, he'd be in a state where he's more bestial than cognizant for a certain amount of time. This compulsion does not work on humans.[/center][/hider]
