    Upbringing: All life is sacred. Inner peace through everyday activities and meditation. Learned from an early age about hard work and living. Hunting for food was apart of everyday life. But knowing that all life was sacred thanks was always given to the animal that had given up their life for their food. Life in the wilds was difficult but not impossible. There was many times when Ruane had a chance to meet elves, dragons and many other species that also lived in the wild. His life was filled with his studies, learning many things from languages to hand to hand combat. Everything about his life was made for training his mind, body, and spirit. To be one with one’s self and the area around them.

    Infancy: Ruane was given to his master at a young age. It is unsure on why his parents had given up their child to be raised by other. He was nurtured as an infant by his master.

    Childhood: Ruane started training at a young age. His master was sure to not only teach him how to read and write but to expand his mind and tap into his chi that everything had. By tapping into these energies he could control the elements around him. Being in the wilds he learned a lot about roots, plants and herbs, not only for healing but for poisons and how to cure them. At the beginning he found it difficult to access his own chi. But the more he worked the easier it become. He obeyed his master, never questioning his teachings. Growing out in the wilds he never had an friends, except the animals that lived in the forest wilds with them. His master left him alone for a couple of weeks each year to travel to the nearest city. It was about a month in half ride by horse to reach the city and back. He dreams of what it is like in the city among people, however, he stays true to his studies and training.

    Adolescence: Ruane had steadily and continuously makes strides in his training. As his body began to develop and he became stronger. He started to really understand what his master’s training. He began to flourish. Even though his master never admitted as much, he was impressed with Ruane and how he took to his training and studies. His master feared what would become of Ruane when he passed from this world. He was growing ill and he could feel his body started to give the older he got. He knew he was not meant long for this world. He never told Ruane that he had become ill. He used his herbs and chi to make himself appear healthy.

    Adulthood: Ruane had returned from hunting when he found that his master was in his bed. It was then Ruane discovers his master didn’t have long for this world. For 3 years Ruane takes care of him, using the skills his master had taught him to make him more comfortable. Ruane continued his daily training and studying while looking after his master. Being the only person Ruane truly knew he felt a bond with the old man that went beyond master and student but as a father and son. One day when Ruane was about 22 years old he returns from hunting to find his master not breathing with a scroll in his hands. Ruane looks down upon the scroll seeing that it was written in his master’s hand writing. But Ruane did not know the strange language it was written in. Ruane sits back as he holds the scroll in his hand, wondering what he was going to do now. He looks down at the scroll as he notices something strange. Holding it up to the fire he sees other part of the letter. Instructions for Ruane to find a master and give him this scroll. Ruane didn’t know what his master had planned in his final hours. However, Ruane, who never questioned his master/father, made preparations to follow out his master’s finally orders. After pray to whatever god his master had chosen to follow or to which everyone that would listen, Ruane burned his master’s body before starting his journey. Being around people for really the first time, Ruane seems usual. He is well mannered and educated however sometimes the little common practices miss him. Even though he has been trained to fight. He has grown up being taught that you fight for training or protection. Never to raises one fist in anger or to prove something.

    Powers/Abilities:
    Ba Gua kung fu uses an aerokinetic ability to control and manipulate air by using their chi to move it about. The key to Ba gua is flexibility and find the path of least resistnace. Ba gua is notable for being purely defensive. By mimicking an opponent’s movements and attacks masters are able to defend themselves. It is difficult to land blows on a master within close range. An internal style like Tai Chi, Ba Gua is based around the eight trigrams of the Yijing. “Baguazhang” translates into “eight trigram palm.” These can refer to the eight animals which Ba Gua movements are based on; Lion, Snake, Bear, Dragon, Phoenix, Rooster, Qilin, and Monkey. ‘Circle walking’ is used to train stance and movement. This teaches the practitioner how to move and change direction without pausing or losing momentum, as well as staying behind the opponent’s back. The tactics used are outflanking and outmaneuvering. The inverse of Tai Chi, Ba Gua surrounds the opponent and delivers energy inward.

    Northern style praying mantis kung fu, uses a pyrokinetic ability to create and control fire. Also known as northern seven star praying mantis kung fu. A martial art style feature quick, successive attacks that exert extreme power momentarily, much like an explosion. It optimizes a strong continuous offense, sacrificing defense for greater power, the principle behind a pre-emptive strike. By use his internal body heat as a source of his fire. This facet of martial arts is in sharp contrast to the other kung fu style, which manipulate already present sources of their element, though able to control or enhance flames nearby. Unlike other kung fu disciplines, seven star praying mantis has few defensive moves aside from blocking and dodging, although masters, are able to create walls of fire to absorb incoming attacks or shoot down incoming projectiles or attacks. Masters are able control the intensity of his Fire, reflected in the color of the flames. Blue flames are more efficient than the standard yellow and orange flames produced by lesser forms of this style, by channeling more energy into the attack and the flames are more likely traveling further without dissipating.

    Tia chi chuan kung fu, uses a hydrokinectic ability to controls water. Able to change the phases of water from solid to liquid to gas within a instant can provide a great defense as well as offense. Tai chi’s strength is its defensive capabilities which, rather than supporting a separate set of offensive methods, are transformed into attacks and counters – defense into offense. Rather than simply stopping to deflect an attack, the style defensive maneuvers focus on control, achieved through turning an opponent’s own strength against him, instead of directly harming the opponent. Almost all forms of tai chi involve moving and shaping a body of water to the master’s desire. These large or small bodies of water can also be used as weapons, either by shaping them into gigantic whips, swung repeatedly at a target as a snake-like body, formed momentarily into a razor-sharp edge that can cut through even metal, or simply dropped onto an opponent to smother them or put out a fire.

    Hung gar kung fu uses a geokinetic ability to manipulate earth and rock, in all their various forms including refined earth such as certain metals. This fighting style is based heavily rooted stances and strong kicks and punches that evoke the mass and power of earth, this martial art is based on the movements of animals, including the tiger, which is utilized when initiating hard blows, and the crane. This style had low stance notable the horse stance. The masters of this style are stubborn and are unwavering in the resolve to accomplish a task. They are as strong as mountains. Hung Gar is one of the more external styles, but also practices some internal movement. Emphasis is put on having firm, solid stances. The more connected to the Earth one is, the more power they will have. The Chinese character “Hung” is a family name which means “to stand firm and tall with integrity.”
    Ability: Can control already present elements except fire. Can produce his own just not as strong as a masters.

    Weaknesses: Human weaknesses. Even though he has high stamina he still get tired. After using massive amounts of chi he is extremely tired and has been known to sleep for very long periods of time. Chi also heightens his metabolism through physical assertion. Eats a large amount of calories and can become weaken if he doesn’t balance his food intake and chi levels. Must be able to move to control the elements, he uses kinetic movements to direct the element in the direction his chosen desire.

    Immunities: None, even though he can produce and control fire. He can’t touch it. The flames are always away from the body.
