This is going to be the most detailed section -- think about 3-12 entries from your 'supernormal powers' section, consisting of special things the character can do and give me some fluff detail. This can be a magic system, a set of divine boons, special martial artist abilities, etc. It can embrace a wide range between a feat and a whole magic system with a number of spells described.

The key here is detail -- if it's a special martial artist move -- where does it come from, how did the character learn it, and give some narrative details -- when it's used, does the whole vicinity go quiet? When a form of casting is used, does it make the character unable to speak for several minutes, and make the air smell like sulfur? The more detail the better.

body marks
He has a blue line-work cloud tattoo on his upper back with a trail of clouds extending down the arms to the wrists. This was given to him by the official monk tattooists after he attaining the power of the chained tempest (a mystic fighting technique that allows him to control the air and use that power in combat)

scars
He has many scars about his arms and body showing evidence of arrow wounds and sword slashes. His nose has been broken and he's missing part of the small knuckle on his left hand. The worst of his scars is a wound through his right thigh, once pierced by a pickaxe. It hurts when it rains.

What outfits do they usually wear -- what's their cultural basis, what do they reflect about the character? Detail a few common outfits they might don or want to acquire.

Mannerisms
*You can tell when he finds something truly funny as his cheeks push into his eyes so that he cannot belly laugh and keep his eyes open at the same time.
*When he tries to concentrate his nostrils flare wide and his mouth purses to the right like a child trying to answer a riddle.
*He often sits crosslegged even in chairs.

One special thing
Are they the only individual to speak a certain language? The last surviving member of a royal family?

One weakness/secret
Although he can be around fire when it's confined to a hearth or a campfire, E'urus is afraid of uncontrolled fire and still has occasional nightmares about being trapped in a burning building.

E'urus was the third of five children born to the Jenguang farming family on the river flats of???. They worked and lived under the shadow of Mount Jinzi, the Mountain of Gold.
