Talents: Tom is a pretty good sprinter.
Favorite things: Thinking, eating, mountain biking, Alcohol (A habit found in Idaho to counter the boring. His god parents don't know Tom drinks... yet.)

Mental Information

Personality: To be quite frank, Thomas Cooper is a dare devil. Always looking ahead to the crazy things he might decide to do with an upbeat demeanor. Be it jump off a roof or challenge a group of people to fight him, Tom'll look for it with a smile. Decent (enough) socially not to get in fights when he doesn't want to, Thomas can act a gentleman, but a little alcohol can change that. When drinking, Tom isn't too decent, and will probally get into a fight one way or another. Tom acts much the same in fights as he would anywhere else, often shrugging off petty injuries and enjoying his unbound freedom.


Mentality: Other than is odd sense of fun, Tom is sane.
Ideal: Try to make up for such a boring childhood.
Belief: "Why play it safe with such an advanced medical field in our country?"

Physical Information

Build: More muscle than fat.
Head: Hair reaches his eyebrows and is well kept.
Torso: Abs are concealed by a small layer of fat.
Arms: Lean
Legs: Lean
Feet: size 11.

Apparel Information

Head Gear: A simple baseball cap turned back wards from time to time.
Shirts: Anything that will not get in the way when doing the crazy stuff he does.
Pants: Mostly shorts now that he's in Cali.
Shoes: Only tennis shoes (the last time Tom did something in skate shoes ended with a trip to the hospital)
Misc:

Fighting Information

Fighting Style: Zui Quan (Drunken Fist) Traditional Style./Improv Zui Quan
Years Practiced: Six months.
Description of style: Zui Quan, also known as Drunken Fist, is a Chinese martial art where the user acts as if he(or she) is intoxicated. Postures are created by momentum and weight of the body. The goal of the style is to avoid attacks, and create momentum through its trademark unorthodox adaptive movements. Agile footwork allows the user to totter, sway, and fall without any harm. The traditional style of Zui Quan is more oriented toward fighting, and is the style Tom has been learning for six months.

Because of the short amount of time Thomas has been studying the style, he can easily go through the basic concepts of Zui Quan but the higher tiers of Zui Quan are not reachable to Tom yet. To put it simply, he is no prodigy, nor is he a complete novice.

(Improv Zui Quan explained below)

History Information

History: The early life of Thomas Cooper is a collection of memories that he would rather not remember. There is no tragic past of his whole families death in a freak accident nor is there anything about Tom going crazy and killing a man. The first 13 years of his life take place on a farm in Idaho. Thomas has two regular parents, no siblings, and no relatives, both parents being only children. Add to the equation that Tom's parents could be the most boring people on earth who are content living the life of potato farmers, and the nearest neighbors are a two and a half day drive away. The result: a child bored beyond reasonable belief. How exactly Thomas Cooper survived the first 13 years of his life remains a mystery to both himself and the world.
In a very non ordinary fashion, on Tom's 13th birthday, the 'long lost' god-parents of Tom called to say they were at their front door. It was this sole phone call that made Thomas deeply admire his god-parents for their lack of planning, and therefore awesome existance. Apparently Tom's father and his god-father were good friends since kindergarten, but god father moved to California for college ('Nice excuse' Tom thought). The two kept in contact and when Thomas was born his father chose him as his god-father. This god-father, John, was everything Tom's father wasn't. He was Visually confident, well built, and accomplished in his profession as a certified Zai Quan instructor. The best part about John was that he lived above his dojo. Tom knew that his god-parents would be the only chance to escape the world capital of boring before serious damage was done and he became a potato farmer himself. By the end of the day Thomas was going to California to live with his god-parents until he graduated high school. After that, Tom was to come home, the only flaw to the plan. Tom moved in during the summer and started to learn Zui Quan from John. Tom comes to PHS 259 a bit late, but Tom plans to make up for the lost time with the craziest years of high school he's ever had.

Fighting Style: Improvised Zui Quan Movements
Years Practiced: 1/4 year
Description of Style: The Improvised Zui Quan Movements were created by Thomas Cooper to balance his fighting style. Tom has only been studying Traditional Zui Quan for less than a year, so he felt like his lack of experience in the style would be the cause of many losses in his fights. The Movements still maintain the basic fundamentals of Zui Quan and contain a variety of attacks, counters, and evades developed in Tom's free time.His list of improvised moves are as follows:


Off Guard Strike-(attack/counter)
Off Guard Strike can be used as an attack or a counter, mostly depending on the situation. Off Guard Strike is executed by first leaning backward on one foot, lifting the other into the air (to avoid a strike/swing if used as a counter. The degree of the lean is dependent on the strike when used as a counter.). Thomas then leans forward (after the strike/swing as successfully missed for counter use.), puts the foot that was in the air down in front of his other foot ,transferring his weight to the forward foot and connecting a strike to the opponent with his fist.{a}


Sweep From The Side-(pre-attack)
Sweep From The Side can be used when there is an opponent to the left or right of Tom. Tom waits for the attacker to charge. When the opponent is close enough, Tom drops to his hands and feet (like a frog. Hands in front of feet.) and uses a leg sweep to sweep the feet of the attacker from under him.{b}


90 Degree Punch-(attack)
The 90 Degree Punch is solely an offensive procedure. Tom preforms this attack by twisting his upper torso to the left (if using the left hand) or the right (if using the right hand), then taking a step in the direction opposite from when he turned and releases the punch toward the opponent.{b}

Drunkard's Uppercut-(attack)
The Drunkard's Uppercut starts out with a forward stumble. Tom then drops down to one knee, the other foot planted with all of his weight on the foot. Thomas then pushes up with his foot and preforms a rising uppercut.{c}


{A}Feign Strike-('opener')
Feign Strike was the first maneuver Tom figured out to put an opponent off guard and open up the possiblility for more attacks. The maneuver is very simple: Thomas goes in as if he were to punch, but stops before he makes contact. The most simple follow up to this is to not stop and punch the opponent.


{B}Spin to left/right- (evade/opener)
This is just a simple spin to the left or right of the opponent(s). Can be used to evade an attack or confuse Tom's opponent(s).{a}


Party Wave-(attack/counter)
An odd attack that requires a loose body.When Tom uses the Party Wave his right foot is usually his lead foot. Tom leans backwards with both feet planted on the ground. The lean starts with his legs and works its way up his body. Upon reaching his head, Thomas pushes off with his left foot (assuming his right foot is lead foot) to lean foward and strike first with the right fist in an outward motion (like a closed backhand), followed by a left fist (in a normal punching fashon), and finally another right fist to the left. {a}


Counter Throw-(counter)
The Counter Throw is currently only used for a punching attack. Tom plans to make some variations for other types of attacks, but those come later. The counter starts with a punch aimed at the chest area. Tom leans backwards as if he was doing an off guard strike, but when the attacker would pull back his arm, Tom grabs the attacking arm by the wrist with his left hand (if the attacking arm is the right arm) or his right hand (if the attacking arm is the left arm). The next step is to quietly slip his leg (left if right arm is used to attack, right is left arm is used to attack) behind the leg on the same side as the thrown punch. Finally, Thomas uses his free hand to forcefully 'guide' the opponent to the ground.{b}


Lazy Kick-(attack/evade-counter)
Tom starts the Lazy Kick by falling backwards and catching himself on his hands and feet. Tom is now in the position to use the lazy kick.(The position is similar to how someone would play crab soccer.) Tom pulls a leg towards his chest and away from the opponent. When Thomas is ready to attack, he releases the leg he pulled back to strike the opponent.
{c}

Energetic Kick-(attack)
A standing varient of the Lazy Kick. Tom leans backwards as if he was doing the Off Guard Strike, but uses his arms to balence himself. The leg used to balence during the Off Guard Strike (the leg that leaves the ground) is pulled in towards the chest. When ready to strike, Tom releases his leg to strike the opponent.

{C}Roll-(evade/opener)
A simple roll maneuver to avoid attacks.Roll can go backward, forward, left or right. Is preformed by tucking in Tom's body (to roll backward or forward) or on his stomach/ back (when rolling left or right.)

Drunkard's Combo-(combination attack)
A combination of the Drunkard's Uppercut and the Energetic Kick. Can only be preformed after the roll if the rolls direction is forward or backward.
{c}


{Upper case letter}= A move that can lead into another move. Either A,B,or C.
{lower case letter}= A move that can be used after an opener. Either a,b,or c. The lower case letter applies to the 'openers' with the Upper case letter before the name. The 'opener' maneuvers are not required to preform the follow up attacks. The 'openers' are a method of opening up the chance to put in an attack when it would be deflected otherwise.

The two movements of Improvised Zui Quan.

Movement 1: Stumbling Drunk Man. (Evade)
The whole purpose of the Stumbling Drunk Man Movement is to dodge, evade, and frustrate the opponent(s) (If used correctly.) While using the Stumbling Drunk Man, Tom moves around the floor much more and watches his opponent(s) at all times he can, but makes sure they don't assume he does. He does this by bumping into things, tripping on objects, stumbling around the area of fighting, etc. The movement focuses mainly on evasion so attacks and counters are seldom used. Instead his two evasion maneuvers (Spin to the left/right and Roll) are most used.
When used properly, the majority of Tom's opponents should become frustrated from lack of harmful contact. Exceptions for people who have a masterful control over themselfs or someone who can strike Tom with ease.

The position that Stumbling Drunk Man starts in is what you could describe as a 'contained stumble'. Tom goes into his Zui Quan footwork and expression, his body facing the attacker(s) and stumbling in a rough circle over one spot (That could be considered staying in one spot, I guess). His stumbling requires that Tom use his arms to stabilize himself as he dodges attacks and stumbles around. A sure fire way of knowing Rick is using the Stumbling Drunk Man movement is by looking at his face: His eyes are going to be half closed with goofy grin.

Movement 2: Wrath of the Drunkard.(Attack)
Wrath of the Drunkard is Tom's second movement, and is all about offence. The movements focus is to attack until the opponent does not pose a threat anymore. Some of the fundamentals of Zui Quan are easily seen in this movement, but the way Rick moves is more deliberate. Tom still moves all over the floor, but with a close examination of where he is going shows a pattern: Thomas orbits his opponent in a clockwise circle. Tom maintains distance between himself and his opponent until he attacks. Otherwise he waits for his opponent to come in for an attack, which Tom will use a counter on. For Wrath of the Drunkard, Tom has his arms in front of his body, elbows set at angles between 45-90 degrees. Tom's left hand is farther out than his right and both palms face the opponent with his fingers slightly curled. Tom prefers a short fight when using Wrath of the Drunkard, so the use of openers are seldom used in exchange for more straightfoward attacks. Tom's face is different in Wrath of the Drunkard. His eyes are fully open and a small frown replaces the grin.

[Note: Using this Qi with permission from John! I will probally re-write this... eventually.]

Qi Technique


-Invisible Hand (general)
The invisible is a Qi technique that allows the user to project his Qi into the realm of reality, and use it to bend things to his whim. However, this force is unvisible, and can only be as powerful as the user's original strength. However, what the force can do, is dependant upon the user skill level and his or her imagination. This can range from simple shoves to grabbing body parts. It is up to the user as to what can be done at the master level. To use this technique, however, the user must perform the action he/she desires with his/her body as the Qi attack is being used. This technique is very versatile, but is not the strongest. However, it is very difficult to dodge and counter.


Beginner Level


At the beginner level, the user is only able to perform full body pushes and pulls with his or her Qi, and the force is only one half of their Str (if you have a Str of 60, then the Qi attack Str would be 30). This means that you can only use the Qi to push or pull an object. However, he speed by which the attack moves is the same as the users Dex, and the push or pull can be in any direction. As proficency with the abilty grows, the user may be able to perform multi-axis movements, but can only perfrom single-axis movements when first learning.
Base Stats Needed:
Dex: 25
Int: 15
Cha: 15 - standard


Novice Level

At the novice level, the user is able to perfrom punches and kicks with the Qi, and str of the attack is equal to the user's str. The speed is still equal to the user's Dex. Also, the Qi will surge from the most forward point of the user's body, whatever it may be. Essentially, the Qi can now be used to form long distance attacks, but only if the target is within four arm-lengths beyond the point of oirign of the Qi.
Base Stats:
Dex: 25
Int: 35
Cha: 20


Pro Level

At Pro level, the user is now able to perform Qi grabs, but only using both arms. In other words, the only gabs that can be performed are one that can hold an entire person (bear hugs, full nelsons, sleeper holds, etc.). When the target is held as such, the user cannot move, or the technique will wear off. However, the user can still toss or throw the held object, but only if both hands/arms are used in the throw. The strength of the attack is still equal to the user's Str, but the speed of the attack is now increased by 25% of the user's Dex.
Base Stats
Str:20
Dex:30
Int:40
Cha:25


Advanced Level

At the advanced level, the user is now able to perform body part grabs. The user is able to use any appendage to ensnare any object, or part of an object. The user is now also able to move with the object in tow, allowing him/her to move an object using his/her str (you can move a person only if your Str stat is over the other person's Str stat). The user can still throw the object, and can also attack with a single Qi strike, if the user is not moving. However, doing this immediately breaks the Qi hold, setting the object free. The speed by which the move is executed is still only increased by 25% of the user's Dex.
Base Stats
Str: 25
Dex: 35
Int:45
Cha:30


Master Level

Bastion's Master Level attack is not so much of an attack, but more of an extension of himself. He channels a large amount of Qi at the center of his body, and from there can use it as he sees fit. He can use it to gently or harshly grab things, attack or touch things from a distance (6 arm-lengths), as a full body extension (adds the length of the body part to itself, IE: An extra arm-length on the arm, and extra Leg-length on the leg, etc), or even violently expel all the held Qi to use as an explosion to force anything around him back.
Base Stats
Str: 35
Dex: 45
Int: 60
Cha: 30
