Spoiler: Here We Go

Alright. While, admittedly, I'm not the happiest with it (being indecisive is a fun time), this is what I have. Please inform me if there's anything you'd like me to change/explain/etc.

Honestly? I'm approving her right now. She will be added to the roster.

One minor thing... please add how many years she has practiced Capoeira next to it in the Fighting Style section.

Now get Organis to add you to the Skype group. I legit just guessed you two were friends, and it was confirmed.

Spoiler: Kyami Xiang Yi

Name: Kyami Xiang Yi
I.D. Number: 00793266
Rank: B2
Year: 2nd Year
Nationality: Asian/Hispanic
Age: 16
Sex/Gender: Male
Appearance:

Fighting Style: Wushu (Chinese Martial Arts) hailing from the Northern and Southern Styles, Kyami is a practitioner of Tàijíquán (Tai Chi). He has studied Tàijíquán since the age of eight.
Tàijíquán (Tai Chi) – Jinying—san duan: Gold Eagle (2nd Grade)
**Mixes Southern Style and Northern Style, Northern Style being more graceful and involving kicks while the Southern Style being more forceful and involving fist and arms.

Powers: Electrical Impulse – Kyami has the ability to generate electricity within his body and force it to his hands and feet to deliver faster and stronger blows. Electricity generates heat, and heat can burn, so to can his, but only a slight burn that would leave a bruise and nothing more. It is strong enough to dry out spots of water on a table. The electricity is strong enough to cause electric shock that won’t kill, but give a nasty shock that can cause muscle spasms.

After training his bioelectricity, Kyami has amped up its power. Now his charged up fists contain an upped volt count of 500,000 volts.

He learned a new technique, enabling him to launch a 200,000 volt directed electrical attack out to a range of 10m. He can only perform this two to three times in a single day. After performing the maximum number electrical burst, his hands become numb due to the electrical energy coursing through them.

Personality: Kyami believes in respect and honor and thusly will only respect those who have gained his respect and expects the same. He is strong, and dangerously intelligent. Kyami believes that everyone deserves a second chance, and in most cases will try to not serious injure anyone in a fight, but will simply try to subdue them. He knows he’s strong, he knows he can fight and he knows that others will know this, but he is humble.

Background: Born to a Tai Chi instructor and a doctor, Kyami has always been a hard worker and a determined individual. Kyami looks nothing like his mother’s Hispanic heritage, instead his father’s genes took over for the most part although some of the Hispanic beneficial genes from his mother’s side came through. Even though he comes from a very wealthy upbringing he does not take anything for granted. Kyami was raised differently by his mother and father. His father believed in hard work and perseverance. He started training Kyami at an early age in the art of Tai Chi. This was against his wife’s wishes because she raised Kyami to go to school and become something more than a fighter. Although his father agreed, he continued to train Kyami.

One day, while he was training with his father and his mother, was off doing who knows what, his father told him that he only wanted the best for him. He told him that all the training he was doing was to prepare him for a school that his father had heard of. Curious Kyami asked what school it was, and his father told him it was known as New Peaks, a Fight School for those all around the world who felt that they had what it took to make it through. Kyami was in his last year of middle school when his father told him this. He showed him the brochures, the website and any information that Kyami needed to see.

“We need to train harder Kyami, and we need to train that special ability of yours,” his father would say. Kyami was amazed that a school like New Peaks actually existed, but he was both excited and nervous.

“Dad it means I’ll have to leave you and mom, and look how much it costs,” he’d reply and his dad would simply laugh. “What about mom?” he had asked but his father simply smiled.

“I’ll handle it, don’t you worry, just focus on training and doing your part, that is if you want to go.”

He had left the decision up to Kyami to attend New Peaks, and how could the young teenager say no to an opportunity of a lifetime? The time came for his father to tell his mother and Kyami was not ready for the words that came out of his mother’s mouth directed to his father. She literally called him things he had never heard. Kyami stayed out of it, he didn’t want to make it any worse than what it already was. Eventually, and with heavy persuasion from Kyami’s grandparents, his mother finally agreed, and with only a few weeks to spare before registration. Kyami trained constantly, honing his skills, building his knowledge. It takes more than brawn to fight, one must also have brains. Kyami got all necessary paperwork and all done before the deadline and now he’s come to a point in his life in which he will have to literally fight to pass the prestigious academy.

A thing you should know about his parents is that they are extremely wealthy. Owning companies in nearly every country. They live lavishly and they expect Kyami to do the same.. They are strict. His father sent him to New Peaks with the promise that he would focus on school work and graduating. He didn't want him to focus on relationships or any type of factions or groups. His mother was the same way, and yet he had promised them he'd try.

Since his arrival at New Peak he has accomplished a lot. He dated Kyle for a while before they broke up. He was third place in the school wide tournament, and he slipped into depression. Shortly after his slip into depression he began dating Jun. Jun has helped him a lot in coming to terms with his depression; however, he does have moments in which his emotions peak and he has no control over it. He also joined Imperius Gloria, but doesn't know why he's there or what he's going to do. He's currently focusing on his studies and getting good grades, and he's been spending a lot of time with Jun and rebuilding the friendship with Kyle.

After the closing of the Summer Tournament, Kyami left to enjoy his summer before the new year. He had learned so much and was happy with how much he'd grown. He did a lot during the break. He trained daily, but he also went on a vacation with his family and had an amazing time. He spoke with Junkiro and Kyle nearly every day. Their voices gave him much needed assurance. Kyle was doing very well for himself. He had already landed a great job in a movie. Junkiro had healed and that was a plus for him, that meant he could smother him with love upon his return to New Peaks Academy. He had enjoyed the trip to Australia that his mother planned and was thankful for everything that had happened in his life. Now he is ready to start a new year, and of course a new year meant new students, and new obstacles to overcome, but he was ready to do what needed to be done.

During his time at New Peaks, Kyami continued to deal with his depression and at one point he thought he was getting better, but he had a relapse when things began to happen with his family. His grandmother passed away and he slipped back to the void. He was pulled out of New Peaks because of this. He ended his relationship with his boyfriend at the time, Junkiro, and turned off all communication to the outside world. While home, he continued to suffer. He was on the edge when he found fighting again. He can't remember how it happened, but all he remembered was waking up one morning, going to the gym and punching the punching bag. From that moment on he slowly pulled out of his depression. With thanks to his father and his grandfather who encouraged him, he is now at a point that he can thoroughly live fully without the threat of his depression returning. With this, he reapplied back to New Peaks and after being accepted once again, he had decided to give it one more go. He knows its something his grandmother would want him to do.

He's back, but things are different, and he already knows by the looks he is sure to get.
