**Takai Liuhe Quan** is a Blue Bird Tengu and Oni who serves as a guard of the Spinach Ninja Mountains as a Tengu Patrol Guard, and as a freelance Soldier, being an fighter of the Great United Rpnation, as well as a well known face of fear in Rpyzantium.

## Appearance

*"The only thing getting laid tonight is your corpse in a coffin."*

Takai stands at 6'2" weighing about 210 lbs. 90% of that weight being muscle mass, yet having the qualities of an hourglass figure. Her cup side is about a D. She has long midnight black hair, tied up to a long ponytail on the back, along with fairly long bangs, combed over her right eye. Her eye color is neutrally bright red, yet as she cycles through her elemental fist, her eye color determines the power she gets. She wears a casual button up work shirt, with the sleeves rolled up, yet on each of her arms are sleeved gauntlets, each plated with reflective obsidian. Under the work shirt she wears a sarashi wrap around herself, as well as a flak-standard ballistic vest, both riot and military used. She wears a pair of casual slim jeans, and a pair of beat up sneakers. With her races having very similar features to a human, she isn't so different compared to the average human being. She is usually seen with a metal toothpick in her mouth, seemingly unbreakable at the most for no reason what so ever.

Takai has a surly attitude and doesn't speak much. Combined with her deep voice, harsh/ boyish talking style and somewhat intimidating demeanor due to her sharp eyes and height, she has all the signs of being a delinquent, even without her sloppy appearance. (On a side note, she has quite the gutter mouth)

## Biography

*"I could never forgive them for what they've done... And if you ask me if I regret brandishing the knife..? No. No I don't."*

Takai lived a rough childhood, having being the daughter of a prostitute woman and an abusive drunkard father. Having the horrible reputation from the two, she was quickly shunned by the others, while at the same time had been neglected by both her mother and father. By the time her 9th birthday came up, celebrated by her self, as her mother was at work, and her father out drinking, Takai decided that she had enough with this miserable life she had. She packed up her bags, and waited until it was late at night, specifically when her parents went to bed. She silently crept up to the both of them, brandishing a kitchen knife and within a few seconds, slit both their throats, grabbing her bags, then facing the door outside. With nowhere to turn, Takai turned the other direction at the age of 9 and dashed off, hiding her murders, and aiming for a better future, for tomorrow...

It's been 24 years after that incident, and you can bet that she's turned into something much stronger, and reborn into something much more scarier then a demon. Learning the hidden arts of the Xing Yi Quan mixed together with Jeet Kune Do from her travels, Takai uses these two arts to devastate any foe in her path.

## Personality

*"Shut up and Focus on the fight"*

Takai has a mindset of only one thing, ways to hunt down her target, and ways to humiliate the weaker ones. In all honesty, she's very bashful, aggressive, honest, straight-forward, and a dedicated to her arts. Yet it is revealed that her having a sort of berserk SadoMaso personality once she absorbs enough damage. She focuses on fights, and seems to have a high concentration. Her attitude may be tough, but her dedication and will seems to be unbreakable. If you get on her good side, be sure to remain on her good side.

## Weapon

*"Weapons are tools used to strengthen man. The only tools I need are my fists."*

### Xing Yi Quan

**Xing Yi Quan** (形意拳, *Form/Intention Boxing* or *Shape/Will Boxing*; Pinyin: Xíngyìquán) is one of the major "internal" Chinese martial arts, characterized by aggressive, seemingly linear movements and explosive power. There is no single organizational body governing the teaching of the art, and several variant styles exist.

The goal of the Xing Yi Quan exponent is to reach the opponent quickly and drive powerfully through them in a single burst — the analogy with spear fighting is useful here. This is achieved by coordinating one's body as a single unit and the intense focusing of one's "qi".

#### Jeet Kune Do

The core concepts of Jeet Kune Do are derived from Wing Chun. This includes such ideas as centerline control, punching with a vertical fist, trapping, and forward pressure. Through his personal research and readings, Lee also incorporated ideas from Boxing and Fencing. Later during the development of Jeet Kune Do, he would expand it to include the art for personal development, not just to become a better fighter.

The system works on the use of different 'tools' for different situations, broken down into ranges - Kicking, Punching, Trapping, and Grappling - with techniques flowing smoothly between them. It is referred to as a "style without style." Unlike traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts.
