(Again, this initial stuff? Taken verbatim from my previous apps, as none 
of it's changed since.)

[ Prior Experience ]
	I've been a MU*er in various forms since 1996 or so, at first on 
MUXes and MUSHes (the very first a Sailor Moon MUX that went by a large 
variety of names; I played an original character and Sailor Neptune) and 
then later on, on a variety of anime-related MUCKs. A short list I can 
construct from my mostly spotty memory reads as follows:

ElseMUCK: Himemiya Anshi, Kishuu Arashi
RanmaMUCK: Sylphiel Nels Rada, Himemiya Anshi (at one point)
Distant Shores: Urd
OldeMUCK: Melissa (Parasite Eve), Liza (SaGa Frontier), Naga the Serpent
PhoenixMUCK: At various stages, Naga the White Serpent, Hugo (Suikoden 3),
             Lisa Hatsufist (FF:U), probably some others long forgotten

	I also had a *lot* of characters on the last two incarnations of 
Children of the Atom MUX, but sadly my memory over which ones is less than 
perfect; only Asa (an OC; I actually said FC in my Karin app, which is 
wrong) stands out, because I have logs.
	Over the past three years or so I've been taking a break from MU* 
and instead playing in BESM and Tri-Stat (and two Buffy Unisystem) games 
with friends on IRC; some dissatisfaction with them has led me back to the 
fold, as it were. Of course, in the tabletop RP sense I've been at it 
since I was 12-13, so I'm well experienced there.


[ Game Knowledge ]
	On the Capcom side, I am quite familiar with everything 
presented, even Rival Schools/Project Justice (I am a bit of a dork about 
that series). On the SNK side not so much; I'm alright with KoF from '98 
to '03 but the older games I know only to the extent that they've shown 
up in KoF.


[ Consent ]
	Um. Yes!

[ Background ]

	The beginning of Chun-li's life is probably the only part of it 
that could be called 'normal' rather than 'extraordinary' or 'tragic'. 
She was born in southern China as the only child of a police inspector 
and a housewife and grew up near the border with then-British-controlled 
Hong Kong. She was perhaps the best child the family could hope for: 
intelligent, athletic, independent, but not so precocious she caused 
trouble.
	Her relationship with her father was very close, perhaps because 
young Chun-li was a bit of a tomboy. Although it didn't spiral out of 
control into a scary Elektra complex sort of affair, it was obvious to 
everyone around the family that Chun-li was daddy's girl. She waited with 
baited breath for her father -- who, having been scouted by the Hong Kong 
police department to work for them as a special investigator, did a lot 
of travelling and taking cases away from home -- to return after every 
one of his cases, asking him to describe them in detail and listening 
with rapture as he went through the ins and outs of policework. Her 
mother, aware that many young girls often had poor relationships with 
their fathers, encouraged this. She even enrolled young Chun-li in 
acrobatics and tai chi classes to help direct her energy between visits 
with her father. Even at a very young age, Chun-li displayed an acute 
talent for both martial arts and movement, being particularly nimble and 
able to grasp even complex maneuvers with relative ease. However, her 
mother also wanted the girl to be a well-rounded individual, but was 
pleased to see Chun-li excel at everything she tried, including her 
schoolwork and learning to play the Chinese fiddle (though in that case, 
the fact that her daddy loved to hear her play when he returned from work 
was no small motivator). Whenever she lacked talent, Chun-li more than 
made up the gap with drive. She was gifted unnaturally, to be certain, 
but it would never carry her; always, always behind her success was a 
mountain of hard work and discipline, a desire to achieve.
	Noticing her inclination to the martial arts, Chun-li's father 
began to give her further instruction when they spent time together, 
moving their frequent discussions about his policework to something they 
did while practicing forms. From her father, the young girl learned 
things you don't normally pick up in a local dojo; instead of form, 
something she had already begun to master, Chun-li picked up how to 
actually fight from her father, a martial artist of no lean ability 
himself. How to read opponents, how to know your own body... while she 
continued to excel at the neighborhood's school, it was with her father 
that Chun-li's exceptional fighting talent began to manifest. He even 
introduced her to the owner of a local restaurant, a man named Gen, who 
took over Chun-li's training while her father was away. She did not know 
how her father knew the man, nor that Gen was a legendary assassin who 
had since left the Chinese underworld in an attempt to find a peaceful 
end through a single glorious battle. What she did know, however, was 
that Gen treated her as if she were his own, and the young girl 
considered him more of a favored uncle than simply a man her father knew. 
Under Gen's tutelage Chun-li's ability continued to increase, as she 
incorporated and adapted some of Gen's techniques and Chinese kempo with 
her own knowledge of Tai Chi Chuan. More to the point, she began to work 
with and understand more esoteric fighting concepts, such as the elusive 
energy known as 'chi', though it would be many more years before she 
would manifest this energy visibly. Still, Gen taught her how that energy 
flows through the body even in invisible ways.
	As her 17th birthday approached, Chun-li had to decide where to 
spend her life and her energy. Unsurprisingly, she chose to enter the 
local police force as a rookie. much as her father had done in his youth. 
Her perceptiveness and intelligence -- not to mention her superlative 
fighting ability -- made her one of southern China's most distinguished 
police academy students. In particular, she took to target shooting with 
what can only be called preternatural abandon, frequently placing in the 
top of her class. It was not long before she was moved into a local 
precinct not far from her hometown. Serving with diligence and pride, she 
helped to clean up Triad activity in southeastern China and near the 
border with Hong Kong. In particular, she was known for her skill at drug 
busts, putting the kibosh on a number of smuggling and drug fabricating 
operations in the area. While she did not know it, this was one of her 
very first run-ins with an organization that would come to be her 
lifelong nemesis: Shadaloo. Vega's organization -- still, at this stage, 
somewhat nascent -- had begun to throw feelers into the Hong Kong 
underworld, hoping to gain more of a foothold in Southeast Asia. Chun-li, 
in her own way, helped to keep them out of mainland China... but, 
ironically enough, turned more of their attention toward Hong Kong.
	What Chun-li's father had not told his daughter is that while 
working in Hong Kong he was approached by the ICPO, who were hoping to 
start combatting the increasingly unnerving acts of international crime 
orgs such as Shadaloo and 'R' by creating a special force of 
investigators. His sense of justice one of the things he shared with his 
daughter, Chun-li's father accepted readily and began the steady work of 
tracing Shadaloo's growth out of Thailand and into the continent. 
However, with their feelers into the mainland stymied by the Chinese 
police, Shadaloo redoubled its efforts in Hong Kong... and it was clear 
that if they wanted to get anywhere, the Special Inspector would have to 
die. Infiltrating agents into the ICPO itself, Shadaloo got its men into 
the Special Narcotics Office team and plotted where Chun-li's father 
would be next. Cornering him in a fake bust, the moles arranged the death 
of the special inspector and a handful of Hong Kong police, then covered 
up the paper trail connecting the ICPO. With no bodies and no evidence, 
Chun-li's father was considered MIA and presumed dead.
	It was not yet two days later that Chun-li herself was in Hong 
Kong, having resigned her commission with the Chinese prefectural police 
and beginning an investigation on her own into her father's 
disappearance. Mastering her fear and apprehension, the girl -- now 19 -- 
kept hope that her father was alive as her driving force, tearing through 
Hong Kong triads in a messy but effective bit of information gathering. 
This caught the attention of Interpol's special investigations office, 
who inadvertently met Chun-li as she got to an informant 2 hours before 
they could... and found her standing over his unconscious body. Bringing 
her back to headquarters, the head inspector noted her service record and 
introduced himself, explaining about her father's special role... and 
then offering Chun-li a place in the ICPO right then and there at the 
unheard-of age of 19. She accepted instantly. With Shadaloo's plants in 
the office complacent and not watchful, her entry into the force went 
unnoticed.
	Knowing that her drive would not allow her to do anything but, 
the heads of the special investigator's office put Chun-li on the case of 
her missing father, and the Shadaloo drug trafficking operations in 
southeastern Asia. Finding to her distinct horror that the men in these 
reports were familiar names from her own past work, Chun-li headed back 
into China to check with her contacts... not the least of which was her 
father's old friend Gen, who was grieved to hear the news she had to 
share. Tarrying in the town to visit her ailing mother, Chun-li split her 
time between doing significant research into Shadaloo's activities, 
caring for her mother, and continuing her training under Gen, who 
revealed his past to her and began to teach her more lethal techniques. 
While this news troubled Chun-li, she knew in her heart that Gen was a 
man who, if not repentant, was at least disinclined to use his prodigious 
skills to harm innocents. For her, that was enough. She also met Gen's 
two young wards, Yun and Yang, and for a while the four trained together. 
However, her work took Chun-li away from home before long.
	Using what she learned from her contacts with the Chinese police, 
as well as more shady information courtesy of Gen, Chun-li headed back 
into Hong Kong to compare notes with the ICPO. Shadaloo's operations were 
much bigger than drug runs, she had discovered; they had their fingers in 
corporate fraud, money laundering, extortion, assassination, political 
corruption, arms dealing... anything and everything. Determined to root 
out the tendrils of the organization -- and absolutely convinced that, by 
investigating Shadaloo, she would find the truth about her father -- 
Chun-li prepared a detailed report to the ICPO's special investigations 
office. However, her investigation had caught the eye of Shadaloo itself, 
thanks to Chun-li's zeal. The moles with Interpol kicked back into action 
and steadily began to take over the special investigations office. Soon 
they controlled most of the bureaucracy, leaving only a handful of 
dedicated individuals whose hands were too bound with red tape to do 
anything. While they were sympathetic to Chun-li's plight, her attempts 
to get Interpol to act on the information she had were going nowhere, 
fast.
	Desperate to do something before the trail grew too cold, Chun-li 
applied for extended leave and began to dig through contacts in the legal 
world, hoping to find someone who would be willing to help her. Almost by 
accident, she found one in the form of Air Force Commander Charlie Nash. 
Introduced to him by a contact in Seattle, Chun-li travelled to America 
to find him, only to discover that Com. Nash has resigned his commission 
and left for California. Finally tracking him down in Los Angeles, the 
two compared notes and discovered their aims were more alike than they 
could have hoped. Combining Chun-li's police legwork with more 
behind-the-scenes information Charlie had collected before leaving the 
military, the two gathered a like-minded band of individuals and set out 
to pursue the figure looming behind the Shadaloo threat: a man known only 
as 'Vega'. Chun-li heads to Asia to look on her home turf; Charlie and 
his friend Lieutenant Guile decide to look up old military contacts in 
the Pacific Rim and join her later.
	It is this tiny headstart that gives Chun-li time to find 
Shadaloo's base of operations in Thailand and infiltrate it after 
contacting Charlie (who had become separated from Guile), who was already 
close on Chun-li's heels. Stealing into the base, she combined stealth 
with some well-timed knockout kicks to make her way to a launching pad... 
where Vega was about to make his exit. Confronting the man she had 
referred to as "Lord Vega", Chun-li made a valiant showing, displaying 
her martial prowess to its fullest. However, she was naturally unable to 
overcome Vega and his Psycho Power. Leaving Chun-li badly hurt, the 
Shadaloo leader simply laughed and ascended into his waiting VTOL, giving 
the investigator one final shot: that her fighting style reminded him 
very much of a man he once killed for sport, because he too was too nosy. 
The last thougt she had, before losing consciousness, was the realization 
that her father was probably dead... killed by the hands of Lord Vega.
	When she awoke, it was in a hospital in Hong Kong. Having been 
rescued by one of Charlie's men, she was safe... but it was if a hollow 
place had been etched right into her heart. She swore then and there that 
nothing would stop her from bringing down both Shadaloo and Vega, even if 
she had to abandon the ICPO to get the job done. Praying that Vega had 
merely been trying to distract her, Chun-li kept hope alive that someday 
she would see her father again... but deep inside, it was becoming more 
and more clear that he was, with all likelihood, lost to her forever. 
Leaving the hospital later that week, she found Charlie incommunicado and 
all traces of Vega lost, the Air Force commander having gone deep 
underground after a loss to Vega, who had temporarily retreated himself 
to recover after being defeated by the mysterious Rose.
	Left to her own devices, Chun-li once again visited her home, in 
time to see her mother on her last legs, having been struck with grief 
after the disappearance of her husband. The eventual sad passing of 
Chun-li's mother only steeled her resolve, the investigator having been 
unable to tell her mother about her father's potential fate, and instead 
promising that someday, the three of them would be together again. Hoping 
to see Gen one last time, she visited the Genhanten only to find the 
assassin missing and Yun and Yang in charge. Taking her leave, Chun-li 
left for Japan... specifically, Southtown. Still left with no way to get 
in touch with Charlie, Chun-li devoted herself to her training, 
increasing her already prodigious fighting skills by mastering her 
internal energy and developing new techniques that she hoped could begin 
to fight the mysterious energy she had seen Vega use against her: the 
strange and deadly Psycho Power.
	It is in Southtown that Chun-li became more acquainted with the 
street fighting circuit, dabbling in it a bit herself... and finding that 
it was an excellent way to keep tabs on criminal activity. Making 
Southtown her new base of operations, Chun-li put her newfound fighting 
skills to the test, battling many qualified fighters and becoming friends 
with many, including the Ansatsuken-using trio of Ryu, Ken, and Sakura 
Kasugano. Chun-li, too, became more well-known on the world fighting 
stage, and even idolized by some (including fellow Chinese martial artist 
Li Xiangfei). Although she continued her work as an independent 
investigator looking into and investigating the actions of Shadaloo, for 
a while Chun-li realized that she had never taken any time to grieve for 
herself. In fact, she had gone non-stop from the second she awoke in the 
hospital... and while she was determined to discover her father's fate 
and fight the evils of Vega, she also knew that she was heading for 
disaster if she let that trend continue. Thus, she took some time for 
herself, cutting back a bit on her "police" work and instead focusing on 
developing her personal relationships, then spending some time away from 
Southtown in order to re-center herself.
	It is only recently that she has returned, and amid a flurry of 
activity. Reunited with Charlie, she stepped up her involvement with the 
Vigilantes while he took a sabbatical, even forging a temporary truce 
with the Ikari Warriors mercenary group. Chun-li also encountered the 
mysterious fortune teller known as Rose, and through her advice came 
closer to realizing her goals with Shadaloo, even coming so far as to win 
a victory over Vega in single combat (even if said victory was more 
transient than decisive). What she found was a new reserve of 
self-confidence, knowledge, and understanding that she is not alone in 
her fight. Which is good, for now not only Vega, but other international 
crime lords such as Rugal Bernstein have made their appearance on the 
world stage... and his temporary alliance with Vega has only made it that 
much more imperative that Chun-li step up her efforts. Thus it is back to 
Southtown she comes, rejuvenated and reinforced.



[ Personality ]




[ Physical Characteristics ]

	There is nothing particularly exceptional about Chun-li, 
comparative to other fighters. She is somewhat thickly built for a woman 
in her early 20's, but this is mostly attributable to her being in 
excellent shape. Despite frequent fan nods to her thunder thighs, the 
measurements don't particularly support this (though Chun-li does have 
well-muscled legs, as one might expect from someone whose style focuses 
on kicking techniques).



[ Sample Pose ]




[ Stats, etc. ]

	N/A, I believe, since Chun-li is an FC.


[ Fighting style ]

	Though strictly labelled as "Tai Chi", Chun-li's style actually 
encompasses a variety of Chinese martial arts, drawing on kung fu, Gen's 
version of Ansatsuken, and kempo as well as the more fluid movements of 
tai chi. This is mostly because she learned tai chi for form as a child, 
but as she began to learn from other teachers (her father, Gen, police 
academy and Interpol training) their more utilitarian styles came to be 
incorporated into what Chun-li already knew.
