Oro

Oro (オロ Oro?) is a character from the Street Fighter series, first appearing in Street Fighter III: New Generation. He is an old Japanese hermit who has mastered the secrets of eternity and survives from 140 years.
==Overview==
Oro is a mysterious, supercentenarian hermit whose powers gave him an extremely long life. He lives in a cave somewhere in the Amazon Jungle with many different animals, including a dog and a turtle. When Oro was younger, he used to be a martial arts instructor in Japan. He moved to Brazil in the early 1900s with a friend of his. His life in Brazil wasn't going very well and he eventually became a recluse. He spent most of his time practicing Senjutsu, a style made up of techniques used by the immortal mountain hermits in Taoist myth. After many years, Oro became a master of the style.
Oro became bored one day and decided to embark on a journey to find a student worthy of inheriting his fighting style. He decided to enter the third World Warrior tournament, and sat atop of airplanes to travel to various locations. After defeating many fighters, he encountered Ryu. After defeating him, Oro dropped out of the tournament and decided that Ryu was a potential successor. Later, Oro eventually found Ryu and began observing and aiding the young warrior's training, all while remaining undetected. Ibuki had to fight Oro once as a test to pass her ninja school graduation exam. Oro was disappointed when Ibuki challenged him because he thought she was asking him for a date.
==Appearance==
Oro is depicted as an ancient hermit with thin black hair, golden skin, crimson eyes that glow light blue during battle and is barefoot. His only prominent article of clothing is a large single torn red tarp like cloth, belted with a rope and appears to be like a Kesaya or Chiton like robe draped over his left shoulder and tied at a knot.
In Street Fighter V, Oro's outfit is purple and the robe has a single long sleeve to show his right hand.
==Personality==
Oreo is an easygoing guy with a sense of humor about himself. One of the things he does in his spare time is help guide people through the Amazon jungles, and he's also interested in video games. Likewise, while he may be one of the most powerful street fighters in the history, but he also has the brains to go along with the brawn. In his spare time, it's also hinted that he studies advanced mathematical theory outside of practice. Also invoked with his fighting style, as his limited capabilities demand players to work around and study his dynamics. He claims his style requires the study of heaven and earth, meaning to realize their entire scenario and situation, arena, fighting style, and anything else, taking up the street fighting philosophy to a whole new level.
Oro is not without a sense of justice or a need to humble those extremely proud and boastful of their talents, such as Urien. In addition, in his conversation before his duel with Akuma, Oro was visibly concerned as to how a violent; disturbingly aggressive individual expressed themselves as the "master of the fist", and was eager to show him how truly distant the path to mastery really was. However, he considers himself beyond the labels of good and evil, and believes that the next generation should be the one to take action against beings of great power.
Due to his amazing abilities, Oro naturally enjoys fighting against strong opponents, and finds those lacking exceptional aptitude and refinement boring, though he also does enjoy the simpler comforts of life, and often searches for ways to pass the time.
== Abilities ==
Story-wise, Oro is one of the most powerful characters in the series. Much of this power comes from him wielding the arts of Senjutsu, a Chinese originated martial art of mythical and legendary proportions. Through years of practice, he has full mastery over his body and ki, giving him monstrous strength and stamina far surpassing that of many other fighters, even in his old age. Oro's mastery of Senjutsu has also granted him immortality, telekinesis, and the ability to survive extreme atmospheric and environmental conditions; he is shown riding a plane by simply standing on it as it flies.
As a result of the immense powers he has gained over the decades, Oro has bound one arm (his dominant arm, which is his left) through the use of magic while fighting to give the opponent a chance in battle, or else keep things interesting for him; his special moves show that he can unbind the arm at any time for various needs, including self defense and convenience. Oro only seals his arm for competitive fighting. In Street Fighter V, Oro does not bind his arm, rather he devotes one to his pet turtle, challenging himself to keep it balanced while he fights.
As revealed in the Street Fighter V side story, Musings on a Still Night, Oro is capable of using the Satsui no Hado, or specifically an imitation of it.
