COLOGNE Name: Cologne RL: Ranma NPC used by just about everyone E-mail: N/A ------ RANK & TRAITS Rank: 7, at the moment. Once she gets used to her new body, she'll be an 8 --- Attributes Fast, Lechourous --- Skills Martial Arts-, Pressure Points, Chi Abilities, Ancient Lore ----- ATTITUDE Style: Cologne doesn`t practice a hand-to-hand style that can be pinned down. She instead uses the ancient styles of her tribe to manipulate external chi flows. Her ability to effect the chi of her environment and of other living beings is formidable. --- Methods: Cologne doesn`t fight unless she has a very good reason to be doing so. In most fights she only wants to show off her advanced skill to younger fighters so she can trick them into serving her purposes in exchange for lessons. In a serious fight she will strike with a powerful move right at the onset then switch to defensive patterns if this fails to work. ----- SPECIALS Advantages Standard martial artist abilities. Cologne has access to a lot more "hidden" and "forgotten" lore than most character do, so she is able to identify most unusual techniques and their effective counters (this doesn`t mean she can always -perform- the countermove however). Because of this it is very hard to surprise her with weird and odd techniques. However, this only applies to ancient techniques. As she is suddenly young again, she no longer needs to spend most of her energy on maintaining her health. This means her movement has become freer, and she has more energy for techniques. Her sense of smell is stronger than that of a regular human's. This might come in handy if she's ever fighting sneaky opponents - while people might think to be unseen and unheard, they rarely think of disguising their smell. --- Disadvantages Cologne has become, much to her everlasting shame and guilt, a lecher almost on the scale of Happousai. She has an almost overbearing desire to glomp, fondle and force herself on attractive females. She has had some luck in ignoring and fighting off the urges, but she is very vulnerable to tactics that exploit this newfound lechery. While she is younger and more powerful, she's yet to get fully used to this and use it to her advantage. Until she does, she's just a Rank 7, but she can easily go up to Rank 8 once she's back in practice. --- Techniques Hiryuu Shoten Ha (Flying Dragon Ascending to Heaven Blast) A powerful move if used correctly. The user must retain their cool at all times, letting out no agressive energy while drawing an enrgaed enemy into a spiral pattern. At the apex of the spiral the user throws an uppercut which forces the spiraling ki into a whirlwind of destruction that can easily beat many powerful enemies. The power and duration of this technique are based on how angry the opponent is and how much of a spiral the opponent has been led into. Bakusai Ten Ketsu (Blasting Point Hole) By striking the exact right spot on a stone or other inert unliving substance the user can force the chi inside to shatter the object. This hail of debris can be used as a weapon if desired, or as a 'smokescreen'. The real worth of this move, however, is that in training for it the user toughens up to an incredible degree. Cologne lost this toughness as she got older, smaller, and more frail; however, now that she's young and normal-sized again she has a measure of her old Bakusai Ten Ketsu toughness back. Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken (Roasting Imperial Chestnut Fist) A speed technique, in which the user can strike hundreds of times a second. The real worth of this move is that in training for it all that time ago Cologne's overall speed increased. This has only gotten better over time.
