Marasi Ata'e



==I: HISTORY ==

Little is known about the early childhood of Marasi Ata'e. She and her brother Toriares were separated by unknown means and she eventually found her way to Kuran colony, gathering a gang around her and eventually gaining control of most of the major criminal activity in the colony.

She would be reunited with her brother when the Blue Dragons came to establish themselves on Kuran. While Toriares attempted to talk her out of it, it seemed things would come to war.

The first battle of which took place at Marasi's base of operations, the Last House on the Left. Accompanied by his new apprentice, Kienan Ademetria, they killed her ten most trusted lieutenants, and while she was able to wound Kienan, she found herself caught in a trap formulated by Toriares' master, Mao Xai Jian.

In return for her standing down and agreeing to a stretch in [Name of prison from GMB3] prison, Mao arranged for her to be free of reprisals, and she was released five years later. Toriares greeted her on the way to a meeting with Kienan.

Marasi's current whereabouts and intentions now that she has been freed are unknown at present. The story is ongoing. ==II: FIGHTING STYLE ==

Marasi's fighting style is ornate but very high-impact--elegant movements and bodily contortions, punctuated by devastating strikes. It has been suggested her style is a practical blend of tai chi and her experience wielding her signature weapon, the Kusari. Her preferred method of fighting, barehanded as well as armed, is to use her superior flexibility to build momentum for high-impact strikes to critical areas on the body.

However, when faced with a foe that can't be taken down with superior momentum and leverage, Marasi will be ruled by her temper and lack of patience and attempt less elegant and direct attacks. ==III: WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT ==

Marasi's signature weapon is the Kusari chain, a specially designed titanium alloy chain three feet long, with small weights at either end. Each individual link in the chain has razor-sharp edges, and thus being wrapped in it can be like being wrapped in barbed wire. Marasi has used it as a flail, a garrote, and a bolo, but prefers to use it in the same fashion as a meteor hammer or rope dart--by wrapping it around herself and turning her body in such a way as to where she can throw impossibly fast and damaging strikes with the chain. Thanks to years of practice and her tendency to wear gloves and heavy clothing, Marasi can use the Kusari with no fear of injury to herself.
