Wushi

“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
==Appearance and Personality.==
Wushi is a very simple man. He doesn't wear many shirts, wears shaolin-style pants made with a simple fabric, minimalist shin guards made of hardened rice straw with bandages around them and leather strips securing those. He carries his pouches on a leather belt which hold everything from cups to pots to food.
Generally a calm-spirited person, Wushi can be easily excited about topics that interest him, and is a decent read of people (though this is hindered when he is too elated to think clearly). He loves children, and when some innocent lives are in danger he can change to anger quickly at the attacker. When cornered, he gets calmer, and clears his mind, and eventually loses all emotional feelings entirely to fight effectively.
== History. ==
At age six, Wushi and his family escaped China, at the cost of his father's life. They took a month-long hike through the wastelands of the desert of Tibet, through some small towns and cities, and to India. His father diplomatically gave his permits for travel, as he was a high-ranking government official. But the guards eventually caught on and an order was sent out for his capture. Of course, he didn't know until it was too late. They were near the Chinese/Indian border, and his father fought off hundreds of men, fighting with a seemingly black aura that allowed the guards to see nothing, but took his life. Wushi saw his father's mouth form their last words, words he has shared with nobody.Now in a country he knew little about with a baby sister and sickly mother, he had to make a name for himself on the streets by doing odd jobs and cooking delicious soups. He then met an older monk...Little did he know this monk would change his life. The monk, named Zhu, then gave a book to Wushi when the younger man did a minor favour for the Monk and his donkey. Afterword, the monk asked Wushi his name, and offered his family a place at his beautiful temple. At this seemingly deserted temple in the middle of a city, Wushi would master the martial art of Feng Shou, of which the father had practiced since long before Wushi was conceived.After another few years of teaching, he would finally end up reading the book given to him by that monk so many years ago: A Journey To The West. After reading the fourth volume, Wushi went to a place on one of many escapades with Zhu into the grasslands where he learned to teach and be taught, and eventually grew to have an attachment with the children there and their processes of learning. There, a teacher would meet Wushi, and tell him how to reach true peace with himself, and gave him Tao Te Ching. Ever since, he has dedicated himself to learning to achieve it. His now-monk-master knew the book and told him how to read and write notes inside. He also taught his English, as he knew that would be a useful skill. The monk, named Zhu, trained the young man to be one with the universe. Although he has not mastered the art of Taoism, Wushi will train and meditate forever more in order to reach it.
== Abilities and Skills. ==
=== Feng Shou Mastery ===
Wushi is the best Feng Shou (a Chinese style of Kung-Fu) practitioner in the region, that we know of so far.
===Qi Augmentation===
Used for being able to surpass one's own ability using qi. Specifically, Wushi uses it mainly for lifting and breaking things.​​​​​
===Qi Healing===
He generally uses it to restore himself to a maintainable level, and uses the rest of his Qi for healing others (specifically children first) wounded from minor to mid-range wounds.
===Qi Aura===
Makes an aura around him that shows his emotions. He normally has a thin aura of white or green when around his village, thin enough to barely be visible and yet still enable protection from more "minor" damage.
*White: Balanced thoughts. Balanced fighting skill. Able to think somewhat clearly and see major attacks coming.
*Green: Loving, caring, less offense and more defence.
*Orange / Red (Not unlocked): Angered. More offence less defence.
*Silver (Not unlocked): Focused, clear mind. Can dodge most major attacks and redirect most he cannot dodge.
*Black (Not unlocked): Focused to the fight so much he loses interest in what’s right or wrong. Can predict most all of the opponent’s moves after lasting long enough, making them have to change their fighting style over and over. Some opponents believe he is reading their mind, while what he’s really doing is reading what their body and auras are doing.​ Causes death at the cost of a major victory.
===Qi Masking===
Is used for masking all of his Qi / spirit power from enemies trying to detect him.
===Spiritual Meditation===
Used for black / silver Qi auras, mainly for more serious opponents, and his most powerful form. Though as an average human, I wouldn't want to mess with any of his auras.
== Equipment and Weapons. ==
Herbal Tea / Eggdrop Soup: Wushi seems to always have herbal tea and eggdrop soup with a couple pots and 4 cups made out of a stainless steel alloy that bends instead of breaks. He uses them to sit down and chat with more civil enemies before a fight.
Clothes: Wushi's clothes are made of a simple cotton fabric, of which he has strips of for repairs. He got these when moving between houses and saw them at the market in India.
Titanium Walking Stick: A construction pole made of titanium sometimes used for leverage in a fight. Was his father's.
Minimal Armour: Seeing as Wushi only has pants on, he wears minimalist shin guards made of hardened rice straw, which are covered with white gauze he carries for wounds, and thin leather strips, He made these on his twentieth birthday.
Pouches: He carries everything he has and spares in his various pouches on his leather belt.
