ATTITUDE

Style: Her martial-arts experience is very limited.  She knows basic
self-defense techniques, but in that respect, she's a rank 1.

---

Methods: She relies primarily on her telekinesis in a battle, and uses
physical attacks only as a last resort.  She'll probably want to seek
martial arts training at some point, as well as continue to develop and
strengthen her psychic abilities.  Her general plan of attack is to play
keep-away with her opponent if she is forced into direct combat.

-----

SPECIALS

Advantages:

Surprise.  How many people are going to expect miscellaneous objects
from their surroundings to be hurled at them, especially by a rather
unassuming-looking young woman? ^_^

Distance fighting.  Kate can attack her opponents from quite a ways
off.  She can throw helluva far, too. ^_~

Support.  Kate's style lends itself more to backup than front-line
fighting.  She can concentrate on keeping her opponents off-guard,
allowing her allies to take care of the close-up or physical combat.

Common Sense.  Kate is smart enough to realize when she's outmatched,
when would be a good time to get some aid, and when her allies need
help.  Of course, realizing these things and actually being able to do
them are two different things entirely...

---

Disadvantages:

Inexperience.  While her psychic abilities are potentially very strong,
she doesn't have much combat experience with them.  Performing her more
powerful techniques requires more concentration than she may be able to
summon up in a battle.

Close-range fighting.  Most of her techniques involve keeping her
opponent at a distance.  If an opponent does get in close, she has
trouble defending herself.

Lack of defense to chi.  While she can block and possibly absorb basic
chi attacks by using her psychic abilities, it takes a heck of a lot out
of her.  Anything stronger than that will put her out of commission for
at least a short while.

Techniques

Kate's techniques fall into three basic categories:

1) Indirect to opponent.
Kate will "throw" something at her opponent, ranging from a close group
of small objects to one very large one.  The best she could manage to
move would be a small car, but that would take intense concentration.
She can swarm her opponent with a group of objects coming from various
directions, but once again, it takes intense concentration.

2) Direct to opponent.
Kate will attempt to knock her opponent-off balance by moving her
opponent's arms/legs/weapon/etc. against his or her will.  Stronger
applications of the technique involve freezing the opponent in place or
throwing him/her.

3) Direct to self.
Kate can lift herself in order to essentially hover or even fly for
brief periods of time.  However, she cannot perform any other techniques
while she is doing this.  She can also throw herself out of the way in
order to dodge a sudden attack.
