---------------- ZING Name: Zing Mihoshin RL: Aaron Peori E-mail: mistophopheles@hotmail.com ----- RANK & TRAITS Rank: 6 --- Attributes Fast Tough --- Skills Martial Arts Wind Elemental ----- ATTITUDE Style: Kuukyodo - The Strength of the Wind. Zing has always practicved a form of martial arts which emulates the movements of the wind and clouds. The form involves the use of a no-daichi for reach and lots of arcing, fast and intircate slashes. He can manipulate air currents through his ki and magic knight apptitudes. --- Methods: Zing doesn't like to fight but he is VERY good at it. He fights however in a manner never designed to kill and often spends as much time trying to use diplomacy in the middle of the battle as he does defending himself or fighting back. He will never use a lethal technique, under any circumstances. ----- SPECIALS Advantages: All standard martila arts abilities. As a Magic Knight Zing can manipulate the air currents aroudn him to produce various effects, from high speed winds to invisible "fingers" of air. he can lift himself and fly with this power, as well as use it to push his body to greater speed in combat. He is ussually sorrounded by a skin tight feild of high velocity wind which serves to deflect incoming physical attacks to some extent but not always. He can speak with air elementals and other related beings to ask for favors. He can also store his sword or armor in his glovelet. The sword is very long often giving him the reach advantage and the armor protects him from a few attacks but it isn't very strong yet. --- Disadvantages: Zing REALLY doesn't like to fight, at all. He will out and out REFUSE to fight unless he feels it is absoulately neccesary or he has no choice (such as he is attacked out of the blue). When fighting he doens't ussually use as much force as is neccesary and spends time trying to talk opponents down rather than fighting back. Zing has an irrational fear of Tina Greystroke and Caine. If confronted by either of them he will immediatly head as far away from them as fast as possible no matter how he has to do it. Why this is so he can't say as he has amnesia blocking out the last four years of his life. --- Techniques Mega Bust - Zing swings his sword and draws a powerful current of air behind it. The wind strikes on a wide area and is effectively invisble so even if the sword misses the gust ussually hits. The blow is strong enough to lift up most people and toss them a good distance. It does no damage unless they hit something at high speed. Havoc Wind - Zing swings his sword above his head and creates a tornado of air. He then catches and opponent in it and sends them sprialling out of control into the distance. The sudden change in position combined with the rapid spinning often disorients most people. KazeSenpuuken (Wind Tornado Blade) - Zing extends his sword and creates a whirlwind which spins him rapidly, sword extended to strike multiple times in a row and in all directions. He always hits with the flat of his blade. --------------
