GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Ramen
ALIASES: N/A
AGE: 75
GENDER: Female
SPECIES: Earthling || Makafushigi Adventure / Martial Artist || Crane School Secrets
GENERAL TRAITS: Bare-Knuckle Brawler / Trump Card
STARTING PLANET: Namek
HOME REGION: Southern Tropics (Earth)
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE: A short-statured human martial artist with long red hair which is fading in colour, worn loose, and a simple gi composed of a light teal top, grey bottoms, and a grey undershirt. A prominent kanji can be seen on the tunic itself. Though in her seventies, she appears to be in good fighting shape.
Art is on the way!
BACKGROUND: Though it may not be obvious now, Ramen was once a great warrior on Earth. After training at a little-known dojo hidden neath the ocean in the South, she began a life of adventure--not unlike young martial artists today. Over the years, she performed great acts of heroism--and also committed great crimes. Her past is a checkered one, and those that knew her in her fighting days often knew her as both friend and foe at different times. But Ramen's prime is long over, and the clarity of old age left her with bitterness and regret over her past actions. With little to occupy her mind, she replayed her mistakes day in and day out, until the weight of the world grew too heavy.
At that moment, Ramen disappeared. Whatever fame she had garnered faded over the years, until only the most devoted chroniclers of human martial arts could still recall any of her acts, for good or for ill. Every couple of years, a prospective student makes a pilgrimage to the now-abandoned dojo in the South, to find only a ruin that hasn't seen students in decades. But still, Ramen is nowhere to be found.
In truth, Ramen took her self-imposed exile very seriously: not only abandoning contact with old friends or family, but leaving the Earth altogether. Some believe she may have appeared at one point in the war on Plant, to shield the Tuffles against a Saiyan invader she knew too will. Others believe she assisted with an insurrection against an Arcosian warlord, on a planet whose name can scarce be recalled. But whether or not any of that is true, even brief sightings have faded away.
No one has seen Ramen in fifteen years.
It was only recently, when news of turmoil in the galaxy finally reached her, that Ramen chose to end her self-imposed exile. She appeared in the last place anyone could have expected her to be: hiding away on Namek, unknown to that planet's inhabitants. It's hard to say just how battle-ready she is after all these years, with age proving to be a foe even she stands no chance against. But while she may not be a match for threats of the day, her mind for battle is as sharp as ever--and maybe, just maybe, decades of solace may granted her a grudging acceptance of her past deeds.

Technique Type: Light Defensive || ZanzokenADDITIONAL NOTES: Starting transformation should be named Akuma no Gisei
Ramen moves to evade an attack, with such a burst of speed that a phantom image is left behind.
Power: 70% [Martial Artist]
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: Evasive
Medium Defensive || Kiai Keshi
Ramen extends both her hands outwards and fires off a Kiai towards an oncoming attack. This allows her to either negate or severely weaken opposing techniques.
Power: 40%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: N/A
Heavy Defensive || Kame Kiai Keshi
In an advance on the original technique, Ramen fires off a Kiai with both hands in a cone, imitating a shield or a shell. In this case, not only is the Kiai more powerful, but excess energy can spill away from her due to the shape of the cone.
Power: 70%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: N/A
Heavy Offensive || Bakuharamune
Ramen charges her full power between her palms, steadily growing her energy before unleashing it in a huge wave of crimson energy, which soars forward to strike the target in a continuous blast until eventually exploding with thunderous force.
Power: 110% [Martial Artist]
KP Cost: 6 KP
Variants: N/A
Sparking Light Offensive || Red Crush
Ramen draws out a significant amount of energy in an instant, creating a sphere of bright red energy which seems to drain the colour around her surroundings and blanket everything in a crimson glow. After forming it in her palm, she hurls it at the target, where it explodes on impact.
Power: 80%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: N/A
Light Offensive || South Seas Combo || 10k Slot
Ramen launches herself into a sudden, furious assault against her opponent, with a trail of precise but rapid shots aimed across the body to strike various weak points.
Power: 20%
KP Cost: 1 KP
Variants: N/A
Medium Defensive || Knife-Edge Dispersal || 20k Slot
Ramen is able to sense the weak point of an oncoming technique, and channels her energy into the hard edge on the outside of her hand. By delivering a strike to that weak point, she is able to use her own ki to disperse or greatly weaken the incoming attack.
Power: 60% [Martial Artist]
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Shield
Utility Technique || Ki Suppression
Skilled control over your ki allows you to suppress your Power Level to a minimum of 1 PL to either hide or use this lower PL to fight characters weaker than your full strength on even footing. This technique is passive and does not require KP use.
Utility Technique || Ki Sensing
A technique that allows you to sense, measure, and differentiate the ki signatures of ki attacks and all living beings without the Anti-Sense trait. Higher ki signatures are easier to sense and can be sensed at greater distances than lower ones. This technique is passive and does not use KP.
STARTING LOADOUT: 20,000 PL on the dot!
