Personality
((Being from TRPS, I like to make my char's personality one paragraph. If this is disliked, I'll change it, but I won't like changing it. lol))
Liu takes his training and responsibilities very seriously. He never really seems 'relaxed', as if he's always tense and alert. He vies every opportunity as a possible fight and every place as a possible ambush site. He never lets his guard down, though he knows how to have fun in his own way. He puts others before himself, but he's not reckless. He will hold a grudge until the alleged wrong has been avenged.
Extraordinary Features
Powers & Abilities
* Fireball - Launches a baseball-sized fireball straight forward at 30MPH. It will keep going until it hits something, not affected by gravity. He can do this in any position, as long as he can put his hands together.
* Mastery of Jun Fan and nunchaku.
* Chi Sense - Liu Kang can sense the chi of another organic being, allowing him to: essentially see if someone is good or evil and see cloaked or camouflaged beings.
* Fatality - Liu Kang can finish off a worn-down opponent with a flashy move known as a fatality. He stands in a meditative posture, then transforms in a large Chinese dragon. He then bites off the upper torso of his opponent before reverting back to human form.
Weaknesses
* His fighting styles are impeccable against one opponent, but are much less effective against multiple opponents.
* Ever since he discovered the deliciousness of saki, he will not pass up an opportunity to partake.
Biography
* Current Residence: Gotham City, Earthrealm.
Born in Earthrealm, Liu Kang grew up a shaolin monk. He was called upon by the god of thunder, Raiden, to enter the Mortal Kombat tournament and win. In order to prevent Shao Kahn from destroying Earthrealm by merging it with Outworld, Liu Kang beat Shang Tsung in the first tournament. Upon returning to his temple, Liu found many of his friends killed or wounded by the Tarkatan horde. He and his ally, Kung Lao, traveled to Outworld to seek revenge in the next tournament.
After the climatic fight, Shao Kahn fell to Liu Kang, and peace was once again restored to Earthrealm. This peace would not last, as Shao Kahn rose up and threatened Earthrealm once again. A new Mortal Kombat tournament was held, and Liu Kang once again overpowered Shao Kahn, who retreated back to Outworld. Years later, Liu's beloved was captured by the evil sorceror, Shinnok. Once more, Liu Kang was thrust into the tournament where he defeated Shinnok and rescued Kitana.
Though he deserves a hero's rest, Liu feels that there is no rest for those who fight for justice. He decided that his talents could be better used in the big city, where crime runs rampant. Therefore, he left his quiet temple and moved to Gotham City. He now spends his days training and his nights patrolling the streets. If he is needed to fight in the tournament again, he will heed the call. Until then, he keeps the streets of Gotham City more peaceful.

* Sample Role-Play Post:
Liu walked down the mostly-deserted street, the cold night air rustling debris here and there. A flicker from a faulty streetlight snapped him out of his deep thought, and his eyes scanned his current surroundings. He saw the smallest movement of a shadow, emanating from an alley to his left. He quickly looked around to make sure there were no immediate threats, before he swiftly and silently made his way to the alley.
He had been through these streets enough times to know not to trust them, and he had a bad feeling about this alley and what it contained. As Liu neared the corner of the building that the alley sided with, a burly man bumped into him as he ran out. The man and Liu met gazes for a moment, and Liu rushed into the alley to find a woman bleeding to death behind a dumpster. He ran to her aid, but the woman quickly faded as she smiled up at him.
A fist formed as Liu silently raged over the dead woman, lowering her to the ground. He quickly stood and wasted no time in rushing out the alley, heading in the same direction as the man he had bumped into. He hadn't even noticed the knife in the assailant's hand, from how fast he had exited the alley. It didn't matter, though, for Liu had a new mission to find this man and avenge the death of this poor soul. He would find the man, and he would make him pay...
