Username: So Laris
Name: Brock Lei
Gender: Male
Race: Looks pretty human
Color: #A47200
Description: Pretty standard and generic looking human, brown hair that's a bit messed up, lovable smile, a nice, happy face, no facial hair. He is thin. but muscular, visibly so, wearing just a green vest with a stylized monkey pattern. He's got black pants and comfy green loafers. While he is tan, he doesn't really look like he belongs to any race in particular. His voice is soft and confident, and he usually has a goofy smile on his face.
He likes fighting. He has actually traveled quite a bit in order to do so! He's gone to tournaments and he's visited dojo's and the like, and he's always had a lot of fun with his physical tussling. He doesn't really care about winning the fight, just going at it one on one fairly and at full strength is all he really wants. He isn't all that book smart, but he does know the basics about the world (what goes up comes down, we are all made out of atoms, fire bad) and is pretty good at biology (Gotta know where to strike! Gotta keep that body fit! Gotta know what to do if you get a bad injury!), a bit less so in chemistry and physics (Who made this table and can I break it?). Math is much less than stellar. He always tries to help out anyone in need and will often put their safety over his. He never goes back on a promise. Never.
He loves to tell stories, those recounted to him by his father, learned from his travels, or of things has done or seen. He absoltueley loves to talk to people and will never, EVER, miss an opportinuty to strike up conversation. He tries to keep cheery in the bad situations and helps others do as well.
Items/Abilities: The only item of note, besides his clothes, is a long staff, colored red, that is able to extend itself. It was given to him by his adoptive father. He also has a sack with food and various small objects that are precious to him.
He has a unique style of fighting that was taught to him by his father. It involves the use of his surroundings and keeping himself in constant motion, using the aforementioned staff to keep his momentum going around corners, for example. He is skilled in running, jumping, grabbing, and in using the opponents momentum against him more than basic punching and kicking. He also has a few other styles and techniques that he uses, some observed from other fighters, others taught to him by martial artists that he has met. He primarily uses the style taught by his father but he occasionally tosses in altered versions of other techniques if it seems necessary.
Biography: Like most people who grow up mostly to just fight, Brock didn't really have a standard mom and dad. One morning, the young boy was just found on the road, battered, naked, and crying by a hermit known as Toph Son Lei. He saw no tracks in the area, no sign that any other intelligent life had been around the child, and without anything pointing to the child's origin, he decided to raise him as his own child.
The result was a very atypical upbringing, partially thanks to the fact that Toph Son was a master martial artist who lived on a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Regardless, he did his best to make sure that Brock grew up in a happy, positive, free environment, teaching him whatever Brock wanted to know (hint, it was fighting) and making sure that he was fit and healthy both in mind and in body.
At the age of 13, Brock and his father left their secluded home and began to travel around, so that Brock could get a better idea of the world and so that he could continue to grow. They traveled all around the world, making friends, seeing the sights, helping those in need, and fighting. They did a lot of fighting. Brock didn't win any tournaments, but he did pretty well! After traveling around and seeing his father act generally benevolent and also do really well in fighting, Brock decided that he wanted to be just like him, and as a result he became a lot more active in training, talking with people, and learning in general.
However, after entering (and losing) his first tournament after turning 16, his father got in to a rather brutal fight with a long-time rival. It was the final match of the tournament, and they had been waiting for this for quite a while. The audience was amazed at the moves that were thrown. However, in a critical moment, someone weaved when they should have dodged, and perhaps just a bit too much force was placed, and it didn't turn out too well. Toph Son Lei was hospitalized. Ryu Kong, the rival who had caused the injury, regretted his actions, and wished to atone for them. After being forgiven by Toph and Brock, as it was truly unintentional, and it wasn't life-threatening (though Toph would have trouble fighting in the future) he asked Brock to come to his dojo to learn a number of secret techniques and his fighting style. With his father's acceptance, Brock accepted.
It was a year after these lessons began, the lessons completed and now searching for a place to hone the techniques already learned, that Brock Lei was kidnapped and entered into a battle to the death.
