Appearance

I have a picture.

Personality

Super proud, arrogant, strong and stubborn. She's hardcore to her values and doesn't respect weak people. She can be nice, I mean. ...but she was raised in a place of fighting amazons who kill (or marry) others who can beat them.

Background

Xiaopu, much like Shampoo and other members of her tribe, decided to travel to fight strong people. Eventually she ran into this weird castle where she met a young man with white hair and was very strong. So she stuck after him. He didn't have any qualms in kicking her ass so she had to marry him according to amazonian law anyway. Once they got old and stuff Xiaopu had a kid and the kid was named Mascara. Unfortunately, Xiaopu passed away in childbirth so Mascara was raised by her great great grandmother, Binaca according to strict amazonian law. Her father.. was not really in her life for reasons but he did leave something for her. Some weird box that she would have to learn a secret technique to open.

Mascara wanted to leave the village like her mother and open that box. Binaca refused to grant this, citing other 'mistakes' that happened with other amazons in the past who had tried to do the same thing. Mascara challenged her grandmother for the right to go - which ended up in a fight at Juzenkyo (the cursed training grounds). Binaca kicked her butt and she fell into the Pool of the Drowned Baby Tiger. Binaca, however, seeing that Mascara had the resolve even though she lost the fight, granted permission for her to go.. so now she's going to the place where there's tons of strong people in hopes she can find her father.

Special Abilities

(These are skills, things that can be learned or trained, like martial arts techniques, Jutsu or magic spells. Abilities that are outside the norm of regular humans, but only because they have not had access to them.)

• Pressure points and moxibustion: The Joketsuzoku have a wide variety of techniques that revolve around manipulating the body with the application of pressure or heat to specific points. Three of the most notable are the Xi Fa Xiang Gao (which combinations manipulation of points on the head with the application of herbal extracts to modify memories), the Full Body Cat's Tongue (which renders the victim's whole body ultra sensitive to heat, so much so that Jusenkyo victims can't bear the water they need to resume their true form), and a nameless technique that allows the user to manipulate their victim's body like a puppet.

• Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken: By repeatedly striking with bare hands into an open flame in an effort to retrieve roasting chestnuts, the trainee eventually boosts their striking speed to the point where they may not only achieve this task without being burned, but strike a target hundreds of times in a matter of seconds.

• Bakusai Tenketsu: By repeatedly beating themselves against a solid boulder, the trainee both hardens their flesh to make them almost immune to blunt impacts and gains the ability to see the "breaking point" in any mass of stone. With training, one can similarly see the breaking point in wood and metal, though, despite legends to the contrary, there does not appear to be any way to use this technique on living flesh.

• Hiryū Shōten Ha: The user makes him/herself devoid of emotions while leading opponents in a circular motion, then uppercuts to form a tornado which carries off the opponent.

• Shark Fist: Presumably by usage of her ki, the user is able to generate violent bursts of water by touching the surface of a body of water, using these pressurized gouts to knock her opponents flying.

• Fist of the Ice Bear: Using her ki, the user levitates multiple boulders of ice and directs them as guided missiles. The name may be because she uses this technique while mounted on a life-sized ice sculpture of a bear, which is also manipulated with this technique. This move is basically like the Shark Fist but with a Bear.

• Dance of the Great Fire Dragon: in the form of a badly-made Chinese dragon, a tape deck player is concealed which carries a tape bearing a recording of a magical melody that causes whoever else hears it to dance uncontrollably.

• Great Dragon Fireball: The aforementioned "Great Fire Dragon" conceals a flamethrower in its mouth.

• Hissatsu Shiatsuken (必殺指圧拳 Xi Fa Xiang Gao): An attack using a specially devised herbal shampoo in conjunction with a shiatsu massage technique involving pressure points on the head to erase her opponent's memories. The process takes at most 6 seconds.

• Dumpling Bombs: Similar to Ukyo's okonomiyaki bombs, but smaller.

• Fork Darts: Similar to Ukyo's spatula shuriken.

• Kakato Otoshi: A jumps on someone's head to get a boost.

• Remote Control Acupressure: Activated by pressing both fingers against an unprepared target's temples. Afterwards the victim is susceptible to a brief mind-control effect.

• Sleep fighting: ...can fight while asleep.

• Voice Imitation/Ventriloquism: Another 'secret soap' technique. Can perfectly imitate the voice of a target.

• Chow Mein Strike: The user turns a bowl-full of ramen noodles into a whip, forcing the intended food recipient to eat his way out during take-out competitions. Given its limited tensile strength it's likely not useful beyond this function.

Powers & Merits

(Unique, or hereditary, in-born powers, whether due to genetics or magic, things that can't be taught to others or simply gifted to this person from an outside force. Powers based on weapons should go in the Items. Merits can also go here.)

• Poison Resistence
• HIGH Pain Tolerance
• Finger Claws - Her fingers can turn into freaking claws
• Technique Prodigy - She can learn things.. insanely fast.

• Iron Will (5): You cannot be mind-controlled easily, and getting you to surrender is borderline impossible. When magical (or other) mind-control is attempted on you, both roll and you get a +3 bonus to your roll. It's possible to do it, but you'll fight it with every fiber of your being, and will not stay in thrall very long.

• Graceful (2): You are extremely agile and delicate in your movements. +1 Bonus on all Athletics rolls.

Unique Items

(Madougu, magical weapons or other unique or special weapons, as well as all techniques related to them, as without it technically the character is NOT able to use these abilities.)
none atm.

Items Of Note

• Herbal Items.. Shampoos.. Incense..
• A ton of weapons.
• Her Father's Box thing.

Weaknesses & Flaws

Flaws can go here. Balance is key!

• Cold water turns her into a baby tiger and warm water turns her back into a girl.

• Overconfident (1): You think you can do everything even though you probably can't, and you try to prove your belief as often as possible.
• Isolated Upbringing (1): You were raised in your supernatural society, or were somehow otherwise sequestered away from "normal" life, so you have trouble dealing with this Outside-World thing. Dealing with any community outside the one in which you were raised raises a -1 Penalty on Social rolls, when RP'ing accomodates it.
• Speech Impediment (1): You stutter, have a tongue twist, or otherwise have difficulty communicating. A -really- funky accent can work too, but it needs to be crippling or slurred. You get a -1 Penalty to any roll trying to convince or explain something, but this should mostly be played out so people can attempt to decipher your posts. Maybe typo a lot or repeat the same words over and over and over and over in a long running drawn out sentence with no punctuation like I just did.
• Twisted Upbringing (mentoring, etc.) (1): Whoever taught you the ways of your people gave you an incredibly skewed version of those ways, and your faulty beliefs can get you in big trouble... You REALLY should come up with a few actual major flaws on your world view, not just pop them in randomly, as this makes for less of a tragic, very screwed over character and more the proverbial Fishmalk or Schitzophrenic idiot with no sense of IC.
• Driving Goal (3): You have some goal which is at the basis of all your motivations, though it is of such depth or impossibility, it could probably never be achieved. Your obsession with your vision can temporarily be soothed by a proper situation (Mission, Combat, etc) or a roll (Diff 8). (She wants to fight strong people. Like.. badly. Well.. WHAT SHE THINKS is strong.)
