Name: Raikeru "Ender" Sikaki
Age: 29
Nationality: Japanese
Teacher Class: Psychology
Height: "6'3
Weight: 195
Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Dark red
Personality: Ender has a two sided personality. The first is quiet and contemplative. This side tends to appear when he is focused on something, whether it be reading, analyzing people, working out, or playing guitar. Other times, he just doesn't feel like talking. The second side is random, up beat, and talkative. Which side people see just depends on what he's doing, or thinking about at the time.
Despite his habit of being sociable half the time, Raikeru doesn't have many friends. It's simply that he tends to keep to himself, unless in a situation where his input is required, he feels like having fun, or it helps improve his social standing. Because of the way he was raised, Ender has trouble opening himself up to other people, and can be emotionally detached. Focusing on others helps avoid this and when he puts effort into it, he can be very likable, even persuasive. Talking is one of his skills when he decides to use it.
There are times when it is obvious, even to him, that his tendency to use others is a problem. To combat this, Ender tries to limit himself and sympathize with them. If possible he prefers to do things himself, and is efficiently independent.
Another integral piece of the man's personality is his love of alcohol. Not to say that he's a lush, but simply someone who enjoys a casual drink every few days. His drink of choice would probably be Scotch, or Whiskey, depending on his mood. Beer doesn't fit into his taste as well, though he's always open to trying new brews and brands.
As far as aggression goes, Ender's pretty tame. He can fight well enough, (Though his technique is a bit lacking) but doesn't really find it all that interesting. Dissolving the conflict is his first instinct, and even if that fails he will never attack first, unless absolutely necessary. From the first portion of the fight, he will stay on defense until he has learned enough about his opponent to end it quickly. His Qi plays a big part in his disarmament of aggressors.
When it comes to actively going after people, the twenty two year old prefers to do it in a much more underhanded way. It saves a lot of work simply turning people against each other, and themselves, albeit it takes more time. His plan consists of discovering his enemy's strengths, fears, loves, and wants.
One of his favorite teaching methods is through demonstration. Why talk about something when you can experience it, feel it? And this is a particularly easy method to use when teaching psychology, at least when it comes to behavior. Though more cut and dry concepts can be spiced up with simple comparisons.
History: Raikeru was born to a rich family, and as such never got much attention from his parents. They were always too busy in meetings and out on business trips. The only way for him to garner their approval was by impressing them, or tricking them. This worked well enough, and the young boy learned the ins and outs of deception. Not to mention, he got really good at guitar. It was one of the few hobbies he had that carried over into his adult life. A few that didn't make it were baseball, piano, and writing.
Regardless of the situation, it was always important that he knew how people thought, so he could best manipulate them. A side effect of this was his amazing ability to read people and get them to like him, though the whole emotional connection part was left out of the equation. He did what he did for himself, and that's it.
Eventually he realized that showing people what he had learned about human behavior was fun. So it was no surprise when he focused even more on psychology and sociology, and ended up teaching the former at a high school in northern California. And so that's where he had stayed until the school board took special note of his abilities and called on him to Supervise PHS 259 in Long Beach.
Qi Technique
-Mirror:
The Mirror technique, unlike the majority of Qi, does not take physical form. Instead it is a mental Qi that allows it's user the ability to control certain aspects of a targets consciousness and unconsciousness(In higher levels), including all five senses. A requirement for this ability is for the user to transfer a small amount of Qi into his opponent, most easily achieved through physical contact(Until higher levels). It is a one use per battle Qi.
If the target of this ability has higher stats in TWO of those required, the effect time will be cut in half. In addition, if the person it's being used on has been under it's influence before, or knows what it is and does, it's effects may be fought against. In such a case, it would last the normal amount of time, but the imagery and feelings created would be flawed or null all together. The victim may decide it's flaws to a reasonable degree.
- Ender WILL be taking on ONE student to instruct in the use of this Qi.
Beginner Level
At beginner level the Mirror Qi can only be used for one post, after the user has made contact with the target's head for five seconds. Once activated, the user may only manipulate things about themselves. They can augment themselves, or even change their appearance, sound, smell, taste, and feel completely. Limit to one person at a time.
Stat Requirements: 20 Int, 25 Wis, 15 Cha
Novice Level
At novice level users gain the ability to augment their targets surroundings, but may not change them completely. A wall may be broken in half, but can not turn into a puppy. A contact time of only 2 seconds is required.
Stat Requirements: 20 Int, 35 Wis, 25 Cha
Pro Level
At pro level users can change their targets surroundings as much as they please. A brick wall MAY become a giant candy cane with cookies surrounding it. In addition, the required touch may now be given to any part of the body and has no time requirement. Limit to two people at a time.
Stat Requirements: 20 Int, 40 Wis, 30 Cha
Advanced Level
After attaining this level of proficiency with the Mirror Qi, users gain the ability to augment the target themselves. Physical mutilation may be simulated. The effect now lasts two posts. Limit to three people at a time.
Stat Requirements: 20 Int, 50 Wis, 40 Cha
Master Level
Mastery of the mirror technique grants the user total control of a target's conscious mind, and access to the unconscious, allowing them a view of their fears, memories, hopes, etc. The transfer of the required Qi can now be done mentally, though it requires almost total concentration for 10 seconds. The effect now lasts two posts. Limit to five people at a time.
Stat Requirements: 40 Int, 60 Wis, 60 Cha
God Level
Concentration time is cut down to two seconds, and the effect lasts for three posts. Works on up to ten people.

*NOTES*
- Staff input is welcomed for the Qi, I'm trying not to make it too powerful.
- I WILL add more to the history.
