Clothes / Armour:

He wears a set of Agile resolve vestments, which makes him much more agile than others. Making feats like running up a wall, or balancing on a rail less than an inch thick not only possible, but easy. As well as it makes it easier for him to dodge or deflect attacks. He also possesses a Forked Lightning ki focus, which can make his punches and kicks also electrocute his enemies. He also has a pair of Bracers of defense. These mithral armbands can block pretty much any physical attack, but the force and momentum of the strike is still felt. (Think, Wonder Woman's Bracelets)

Fighting Style:

Stances:

Masterful Spiral: When he is in this stance, whenever he kicks or punches, his range is increased by five feet, using psionic energy.

Way of the Autumn Wind: Upon entering this stance, he performs a roundhouse kick which creates a freezing cold gust of damaging (damage: medium) and weakening (weaken effect lasts until the end of his next post). After that, whenever he gets hit by an attack (blocks count) he immediately moves 10 feet in any direction

Mist on the storm: Upon entering this stance, his body becomes ghostly, and the next attack he makes ignores armor and blocking and weakens them until the end of his next post.

Jiao was angered by the slanderous action of their rival, and set out on a quest of revenge. Under the guise of a student, he found an old master of magic, and trained under him for 10 years. Upon learning all he could from the old man, he killed him with his own magical set of swords. The very ones he has now. He then returned to the town he was from, usurped the local lord, and had the rival family murdered. He now is a warmongering tyrant, who terrorizes the country. He is a very intelligent and powerful warrior.

Height: 7'

She is solid rippling muscle from head to toe.

Like all other Goliaths, she has small stony growths spread throughout her body. These are hard, but non-sensing. (meaning they have no nerve endings attached to them)

She wears light hide armor, to allow extra mobility, as well as leather sandals.

Fighting Style:
She is a Melee-oriented gladiatrix. She relies on her great racial strength and endurance, as well as the agility and skill gained in training to pound enemies into submission, and win over the crowd. She is able to use a bevy of different weaponry, but she prefers her warhammer and shield. She does use several simple ranged weapons, though.
Weapons:
She has a collection of different weaponry, and is an expert in all of them, but she does not use all of them at once. She comes in with a few, but the crowd or other slaves can throw her others. She always has her warhammer of the storm and her juvenile adamantoise shield, as well as a cestus on her weapon hand, and a sling. When she uses a 1 handed weapon, she also uses her shield

Warhammer of the Storm (1 or 2-handed): This magical warhammer was given to her by her grandmother, the Chief of her mountain tribe, the day she chose to leave her home, and become a wanderer. It is forged not of steel, but of the elements themselves, some say by Moradin himself. It is a very picky weapon, and only lets those it thinks worthy use it's power. It weighs over 200 pounds, but Nalla can swing it around as if it weighs nothing because it allows it (the weight is still felt by the enemy with the blows), and the weight doesn't affect her. In combat, it radiates cold (ice) and lightning energy, and transmits these through attacks.

Juvenile adamantoise shield: This shield is the size of your average round shield, and is very light, but adamantine in toughness. It gets that way, because it is the actual shell of a juvenile adamantoise, who is fed adamantite every day, and it forms it's shell. It is indestructible, and very easy to use.

Cestus: A cestus is an ancient battle glove, made with leather strips and fitted with iron spikes.

War scythe (2-handed) : A war scythe is a kind of pole weapon, similar to a fauchard, usually created from standard scythes. The blade of the scythe is transformed so as to extend upright from the pole, thus forming an infantry weapon practical both in offensive actions against infantry and as a defensive measure against enemy cavalry.

Sica (1-handed) : The sica is a short sword with with a curved blade about 18 inches long, and usually held with the curve pointing down. The sword can also be used, to kill in one hit. With the curve pointed down the tip will often catch on the enemy's helmet. She can then lurch the sword upward into the jaw and through the face, killing the opponent instantaneously.

Bolo (1-handed) : Bolos are characterized by having a native hardwood or animal horn handle, a full tang, and by a blade that both curves and widens, often considerably so, at its tip. This moves the centre of gravity as far forward as possible, giving the knife extra momentum for chopping through flesh.

Sling (1-hand ranged): A sling is a projectile weapon typically used to throw a blunt projectile such as a stone or lead "sling-bullet". It is also known as the shepherd's sling.
A sling has a small cradle or pouch in the middle of two lengths of cord. The sling stone is placed in the pouch. The index finger is placed through the loop, the other string has a tab that is placed between the thumb and forefinger. The sling is swung and with a flick of the wrist the tab is released at the precise moment. This frees the projectile to fly to the target.The sling derives its effectiveness by essentially extending the length of a human arm, thus allowing stones to be thrown several times farther than they could be by hand.

Trident(1 or 2-handed, or ranged (thrown)) : As a weapon, the trident is prized for its long reach and ability to trap other long-weapons and sords between prongs to disarm their wielder.

Net (1 or 2-hand grapple weapon): The net does not injure, but does entrap and tangle enemies.

Scizore (1-handed weapon) :
This is a weapon consisting of a hardened steel tube that encases her entire forearm, with the hand end capped off and a semicircular blade attached to it. A handle inside the tube allows her to maintain control in the heat of battle. This weapon isboth deadly and versatile; she can use her protected arm to block her opponent's blows and quickly counterattack, the shape of the blade being such that even slight contact could cause a serious wound. She sometimes uses 2 at once.


Abilities:
She, as a physical fighter, does not have any magical abilities really, only a few skills and tricks to give her an edge.

Shield bash: She swings her shield arm and smashes her shield into her foes body. She either uses the face or the edge. The face of the shield does not really damage the target, but it does unsteady them. The edge damages greatly, but that's about it. She must have a shield in her hand

Block breaker: She brings her weapon down with crushing force, which will break most defensive stances entirely, or set the foe off balance. Recharges in one post.

Humbling blow: She unleashes a kick to the head, disorienting and perhaps knocking the target down.

Attributes:
Thick skin: Her naturally thick skin acts as an armor, and can protect her as if she was wearing chainmail.

Sturdy frame: Her bones have a thick calcified layer on top, making them much sturdier and resistant to breaking than bones of other races.

Biography:
Personality: She is very professional, and knows how to put on a show for the crowd. She is respectful, but is not above dirty tricks in the arena to win
Background: Nalla was born into a Mountain Goliath tribe, the granddaughter of the tribe's chieftain. She, like all others, were educated on how to hunt and fight. Goliaths do not discriminate by gender. She showed extreme talent in fighting, and was made a full-fledged warrior at 12. When she was 15, a traveler entered her village, and she learned of the outside world. She begged to be allowed to wander the lands, and, with a teary farewell, she left. She soon found that it as hard to survive on your own. She could live off the land, but she wanted more, and, in the town she was in, she saw a small arena be used. She joined the arena, and won the tournament, and was awarded money. She then decided that his was her calling, and has been a gladiatrix ever since.
