Mental Information[/u]
Personality:
Summed up? A prick. Elaborated upon? Egocentric, rude, obnoxious, aggressive, and foul-mouthed just barely scratches the surface of the maelstrom that is Jiao Tsang. Maelstrom is a fitting noun to compare Jiao to, as it is best to avoid him; making your presence known around him is already making a mistake, let alone speaking to or looking at him. The moment Jiao is aware of you, there is a good chance you may get sucked into the chaos that seems to brew everywhere he sets his foot upon.
A very bitter individual, Jiao hates seeing other people who are happier than him, especially if they are laughing or smiling. He willl go out of his way to ruin someone's mood, since he thrives on seeing people who are miserable, which makes him feel better. Ornery to the very marrow of his bone, Jiao lacks the ability to comprehend the satisfaction people get from "nice" things. The beauty of flowers, sunsets, and rainbows are completely lost on him. Gifts, compliments, and any other intimate or friendly social interactions also hold no meaning to this cold boy.
The only pleasures he gets from life are disrupting other people's lives. With a child-like penchant for causing trouble, Jiao more often than not finds himself on the receiving end of a scolding or beating, only to cause even worse problems than what he was punished for. His egocentricity also plays a role in his trouble making. Jiao often starts unnecessary conlflicts and disturbances just so that attention will be drawn toward him. He suffers from delusions of grandeur; he believes the world revolves around him, and that nobody else deserves to breathe the same air as him. Contributing to his childish attitude would be his tendency to lose his temper when things don't go his way.
Jiao is also extremely ill-mannered and obnoxious, and could even be considered a bully. He seeks out the weak, as he believes that only the strong should be allowed to exist, and that all weak people should be weeded out and picked off. "Survival of the fittest," he often says. The freshman does not discriminate; whether you're a girl, boy, black, asian hispanic, caucasian, fat, skinny, muscular, short, tall, anything; you're still prone to becoming one of Jiao's victims.
Jiao holds a strong disdain for authority. Looking up to Chairman Mao, but not actually knowing much about him, this Chinese-American has developed a selfish "revolutionary" mindset. If authority is in compliance with Jiao's own personal views, than they're fine in his books. However, that is not the case most of the time. He believes strongly that if something is not to your liking, you have the power to change it.
He's bad enough while he's sober; it doesn't help that Jiao has a taste for good rice wine.

Fighting Information
Fighting Style: 八極拳 (Bājíquán)
Years Practiced: Nine
Description of style:
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Most Chinese Kung Fu styles have their own fighting forté. Bajiquan is generally used in close combat. With this concept, Bajiquan pays much attention to elbow, knee, shoulder and hip strikes. When blocking an attack or nearing an opponent, Bajiquan techniques emphasize striking major points of vulnerability, the thorax (trunk of the body) and roots (legs and neck).
The major features of this school of Chinese martial arts include elbow strikes, arm/fist bashes, hip checks, and strikes with the shoulder. All techniques are executed with a very distinctive form of short power, developed through rigorous training; in Chinese martial arts, Baji is famous for its very violent and fast movements. Strategically, Baji focuses on in-fighting, entering from a longer range with Baji's distinctive charging step ("zhen jiao") and issuing power up close.
The essence of Bajiquan lies in jin, or power-issuing methods, particularly fajin (explosive power). The style contains a total of six types of jin, eight different ways to hit and several different principles of power usage. Unlike most western forms of martial arts which require swinging motion to create momentum, most of Bajiquan's moves utilize a one-hit push-strike method from very close range. The bulk of the damage is dealt through the momentary acceleration that travels up from the waist to the limb and further magnified by the charging step known as zhen jiao.
History Information
History:
Shortly after his birth in Taipei, Taiwan, the Zhang family returned to their home in Beijing, China, where the young Jiao would spend the majority of his life. Jiao's father was a rather wealthy businessman, while his mother was a nurse. Due to his father's busy life, and his mother's odd work hours, Jiao and his sister would often be in the care of his paternal grandfather. He saw very little of the expensive condominium his parents owned, and spent most of his time in his grandfather's shabby, but comfortable home.
Considering his son a weak man that has succumbed to the temptations of money, Jiao's grandfather decided to pass the teachings of the Zhang style of kung fu down to his young grandson. His father had always been a scholar, and had no time for martial arts, which his grandfather looked upon with contempt. From the age of five Jiao has been training in the art of Bājíquán. It started with practicing form, technique, and breathing in the park with his grandfather, which advanced to generating centrifugal force, building strength, and conditioning limbs as Jiao got older and more experienced.
Due to his martial arts training, Jiao was a great athlete, and excelled in all sports he participated in while in school. This caused him to be the first pick of every team during gym or recess, if he wasn't already a captain. He almost never failed to bring his school first place in championships. His grandfather urged him not to fall behind in the mental aspect of life, and he didn't. Jiao rose up to be one of top-scorers in his class. This superiority in sports and academics is what shaped Jiao's competitive and grandiose nature in the future.
Beatings were not uncommon in the Zhang household. Jiao's grandfather had to discipline him almost on a daily basis. Ever since he was young Jiao had been a troublemaker. Calls home from school, from neighbours, from police; It was as if everywhere Jiao went, trouble followed. One day, however, Jiao stirred up trouble with the wrong person.
Jiao's father received a phone call the day the incident happened, and the following day the men that called him arrived at the condominium and tore it apart. They were looking for Jiao, but fortunately he was at his grandfather's at the time. He then paid a visit to his father's home, finding it too risky to call him to take Jiao back home. Apparently, Jiao had started a fight with the son of a well-known member of the Triads and hospitalized him. Triads were looking for Jiao in order to get some compensation, so his father did the best thing he could; send him away, out of the Triad's grasp.
Shipped off to the East, to Japan, more specifically, with a meager amount of cash in his pocket, Jiao Tsang decided he'd make the best out of the situation and wreck as much havoc as possible in a foreign country, where nobody knows him. Will Jiao victimize Public Highschool #650, or will #650 victimize him?

Qi Name: Sixteenth Chamber
Description: Jiao utilizes his qi by steadily channelling it into the muscle fibres of his heart, enhancing his heart's strength and resistance in preparation for the qi's true power. Now that his heart is capable of withstanding much greater amounts of stress, Jiao pours more qi into his heart, causing it to beat abnormally fast; so fast, in fact, that his heart would rupture within his chest and kill him if it had not been augmented by qi.
With his heart pumping oxygen-rich blood throughout his body at an exponentially increased rate, Jiao's body becomes super oxygenated, which vitalizes his muscles and brain, greatly amplifying his capabilities with both. He recieves a vast improvement in strength, speed, endurance, and mental clarity. As a side effect, Jiao's pupils will dilate and he will begin to hyperventilate in order to accommodate to the increased demand for oxygen.
This qi lasts for a safe duration of x posts, depending on the qi's level, after which Jiao will suffer a 10% decrease in his stats due to the strain put on his body. He can also push himself over his limit and use the qi for an additional five posts, with each post giving him a stat penalty of 20% folllowing the cessation of the qi, as opposed to the normal 10%. At the end of the five 'limit breaking' posts, Jiao's heart will rupture, and he will die without immediate medical attention.
Stat penalties remain for the duration of the thread this qi was used in.
