Profile

Having made his way into the United States by way of a shipping container, Zhao Lin is searching the streets of New York for the man who killed his Master. All he has to go on is a name, Xiang, and the symbol of a serpent circling a skull. He has no home and no money, so he currently lives as a vagrant, wandering the back alleys in a drunken stupor until he can find evidence of the man he seeks. He knows he came to NYC, but he does not know where to find him - and the city is much larger than he expected.

Description

Zhao Lin, Master of the Drunken Fist style of gongfu, stands at a height of 172.8cm, and weighs in at 99.7kg. Lin is most easily recognized for his unusual animalistic features, no doubt the result of a genetic mutation. His body is covered head to foot in short fur, pattered in smokey grey and white, with black rosettes, much akin to an Asiatic snow leopard. His ears are positioned nearer the top of his head, triangular in shape. His eyes are a deep sapphire blue in color. He has a muzzle, full of fangs and sharp teeth.

He has an athletic form, with broad shoulders and toned muscles. His hands are human-like in shape, though their backs are covered in fur, and there are rough pads on the inside of his palms and fingers. Each finger ends in a retractable claw as well. He has a tail, the appendage roughly four and a half feet in length. It is non-prehensile, often just flitting about as though it has a mind of it's own. His legs are strong, lean and muscular like the rest of him - for what can be told beneath the coating of fur that covers him. His feet are plantigrade, though he has only four toes, rather than five.

Currently, Zhao Lin is attired in a worn Tang-style jacket with long sleeves and a mandarin collar. It is black in color, and while ordinarily fastened with Chinese frog buttons, Lin has opted to leave his open. Beneath it he wears a dirty no-longer-white t-shirt tucked into a pair of baggy pants. Around his hips is a corded belt, from which hangs a light brown gourd canteen. On his wrist is a bracelet of black beads. He wears nothing on his feet.

Abilities

ALCOHOL TOLERANCE
Zhao Lin is a drunken boxer, and the training for that requires -a lot- of alcohol. His poison of choice is rice wine, and over the years he has built up quite a tolerance to it's effects. Even Zhao Lin has his limits, however. Alcohol gives him power in bursts, but if he stops drinking for an extended period of time, the after-effects will set in with a vengeance.

ENHANCED ENDURANCE
Zhao Lin is a drunken boxer, and part of that training has led him to be able to endure more physical punishment than ordinary. His endurance increases the more liquor he has imbibed, but only until he begins to sober up.

ENHANCED REFLEXES
Again, having trained his body for his entire life, particularly in drunken boxing, Zhao Lin's reflexes are near the peak of human capability. Typically, if he can see an attack coming, Zhao Lin will be able to avoid it, or with the use of drunken boxing, feign being hit and use that as a means to maneuver about.

ENHANCED SENSES
Being a mutant with the senses of a feline, Zhao Lin has a superior sense of smell and hearing compared to ordinary humans. He is also capable of seeing better in low light, but is still inhibited in total darkness.

ENHANCED STRENGTH

Zhao Lin has trained his body his entire life, and in addition to his genetic mutations, it has given him a heightened limit to his physical strength. To venture a guess, I would place him roughly on par with Punisher or Colossus(unarmored) in terms of raw physical strength, able to lift about 550lbs.

Skills

IMPROVISED WEAPONS
Bottles, chairs, fireplace pokers, really anything he can get his hands on that will do in a pinch. Zhao Lin does not use weapons himself, but will use objects around him in defense of himself or others from those that do.

MARTIAL ARTS
Zhao Lin is a master of the art of Zui Quan, or drunken boxing. He is also trained in several other forms of kung fu, including(but not limited to) praying mantis, wing chun, and mok gar.

STEALTH
Having lived much of his life as a beggar, he knows how to be unseen when he wants to be. This applies primarily to urban environments, as that is where he utilized them the most.

TUMBLING
As a master of drunken boxing, Zhao Lin is an expert at the art of tumbling. Frequently in fights, he will duck, roll, weave, and dodge out of the way of blows, using these skills to maneuver himself around his opponent(s) and get an advantageous position.

BLACK MARKET
Being from the streets of China, Zhao Lin has access to the black market, both there and in NYC, through the contacts he's made with other vagabonds like himself.

HOMELESS NETWORK
Though they live on the streets, the friends Zhao Lin has made living with them are able to provide him with information about the activities of the noteables in the city.

Weaknesses

ALCOHOL
Zhao Lin can't refuse a drink. Or a challenge to drink. While he has a lot of tolerance for the drink, too much will overwhelm even him, leaving him in a helpless, drunken stupor.

POISONS
Due to having a stronger ability to metabolize alcohol, Zhao Lin's body will also metabolize other injested poisons at a faster rate. Anything he drinks will affect him twice as fast as it would an ordinary human.
