## History

### Birth

Teddy was born to a pair of humble farmers living in Texas. His father was a born-and-raised, red-white-and-blue blooded American, inheriting a small farm from his parents. His mother was a Chinese immigrant, with her father being a now deceased practitioner of the Battle Mage Arts. She came here after the murder of her father at the hands of a mysterious Demonic Battle Mage, seeking safety from him. With the bit of magic her father taught her, she suppressed Teddy's innate abilities as a Wayward Fist Candidate.

### Early Life

Teddy's life was almost entirely normal, at least as normal as a Wayward Fist Candidate's life could be. Excluding his superior strength, he more or less grew up just as any kid would. He was never immensely popular or talented at academics, but he was an athletic prodigy. By the time he got to highschool, he was a shoe-in as the starting RB on the team. He was sent to a private school as opposed to a public one, where his life would change forever after he met a strange man with horns and wings.

## Personality

Teddy is a humble soul. He's a farmboy at heart, a himbo in the truest sense. He wouldn't purposefully hurt a fly, and tries his hardest to be as nice as possible.

## Skills and Powers

### Skills

#### Basic HEMA Training

Teddy has basic training with a European longsword.

#### Extreme Mobility

Teddy is extremely hyper-flexible and has a background in gymnastics, something his parents forced him to do.

#### Quick Thinking

Teddy thinks incredibly quickly on his feet, able to adapt quickly in a fight to his enemies abilities.

### Fundamental Abilities

#### Lightning Chi

Teddy can generate and manipulate lightning. The more Chi he cultivates, the more lightning and the higher the voltage of lightning he can manifest.

##### Chi Enhancement

Teddy's physical statistics are 10x stronger than they otherwise would be

#### Balanced Physique

Teddy is 50% stronger than he would be otherwise regardless of the time of day, on top of his already enhanced physique

### Primal Cultivation Abilities

#### Lightning Incarnation

Teddy, after enough training, can temporarily transmute his body into lightning.

#### Thunder Conjuration

Teddy, with enough training, can conjure thunder to accompany his lightning, creating shockwaves accompanying the attacks.

#### Rage State

Teddy, when cultivating, has a 10% chance to "snap," and enter an enraged state, where he is driven off of instinct as opposed to conscious thought. In this form, he is a no-holds barred fighter, about 60x stronger. He is effectively asleep in this state, and cannot distinguish friend from foe.

##### Chi Aura Manifestation

When enraged, Teddy can manifest an aura made of Lightning Chi, constantly radiating 1000 Volts every 20 seconds.

##### Godspeed State

If Teddy is conscious enough to use his Lightning Incarnation ability, Teddy can move at several dozen times the speed of lightning, his aura-based attacks lagging behind his physical ones. If Teddy is (somehow) conscious enough to use his Spirit Beast Ability, the aura attacks exceed him in speed, as they move at the speed of light.

### Spirit Beast Ability: Silver Dragon Light Manifestation

Teddy can manifest silver beams of concentrated moonlight. He is able to use his other abilities with the moonlight as a power source (ie: he can create bolts of lightning from his silver moonlight, hypothetically gain a 150% modifier to his statistics)

### Spirit Partner Ability: Divine Lion Conjuration

Teddy can conjure spiritual aspects of his partner, The Divine Lion, each granting a different effect. To conjure an aspect requires a lot of Chi, and increases the chances of entering Rage State by 5% the next time he cultivates.

#### Divine Lion Cloak

Conjuring the Lion's Cloak allows Teddy to deflect chi-based attacks

#### Divine Lion Claws

Conjuring the Lion's Claws allow Teddy to either stab with his punches or enhance the sharpness of his sword.

#### Divine Lion Mane

Conjuring the Lion's Mane gives Teddy a temporary 10x buff.

#### Divine Lion Eyes

Conjuring the Lion's Eyes gives Teddy dramatically enhanced eyesight.

#### Divine Lion Head

Conjuring the Lion's Head allows Teddy to manifest waves of sound infused with hyper-potent Lightning Chi, essentially a Kamehameha

#### Divine Lion Tails

Conjuring the Lion's Tails gives Teddy a second sword made entirely of Lightning Chi.

#### Divine Lion Legs

Conjuring the Lion's Legs allows Teddy to expend a massive amount of Chi to move dozens of times faster than otherwise possible.

#### Divine Lion Fangs

Conjuring the Lion's Fangs gives Teddy a dramatic 40x buff, but ensures that he will enter a Rage state the next time he cultivates.

### Sacred Treasure Ability: Clay Sword of Beginnings

Teddy's Sacred Treasure, The Clay Sword of Beginnings, grants him three abilities

#### Ability I: Chi Extension

Teddy can extend his Chi through the sword, able to use any of his abilities with the sword as if it were his body.

#### Ability II: Blade Extension

As the blade is partially made of transmuted clay, Teddy can add and remove this clay, changing the size and shape.

#### Ability III: Passive Cultivation

Teddy, when not actively using the sword, can use it to cultivate while accomplishing other tasks. He is 30% more likely to rage when doing this, though, and sees less progress when he does so. He cannot break through off of the cultivation granted by the blade.

## Weaknesses

### Lack of Knowledge

Teddy is not knowledgeable of the Magical world's traditions and mannerisms. Due to this, he makes a lot of enemies accidentally.

### Water-Type Chi

Teddy's Chi is specifically countered by Water Chi. If his lightning-based attacks contact water-based attacks, they will create an electrical fire spawned in his direction.

### Demonic Chi

Teddy's Moonlight-based attacks are specifically countered by Demonic Chi. Those who wield Demonic Chi can directly absorb and return his attacks to sender.
