A character in the PbP game Malaysian Mantrap. Inspired primarily by Takuma Tsurugi, Sonny Chiba's titular character in "The Street Fighter" movie series, with a bit of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" thrown in for flavor.

Description

Japanese-Chinese martial artist, young and cocky but very good. Bit of a playboy. Works variously as a martial arts instructor, bouncer, prizefighter, bodyguard, bounty hunter, courier, enforcer and, on some rare occasions, assassin. Solid personal connections to organized crime through the martial arts world and from a childhood spent out on the streets of East Asia after running away from a Tokio orphanage. Still very much a street person, brash and arrogant, with an odd "law of the jungle" kind of honor code, although these days he makes some effort to educate himself. Sings and plays sax in a couple of smalltime bands in his freetime.

Mid-twenties, average height, compact and athletic build, brown eyes, mid-length black hair, usually clean-shaven and well groomed. Sharp dresser in a streetpunk rockstar sort of way, with a taste for fancy sneakers, cool shades and two-piece suits worn without a shirt. Tends to carry a few knives, a silenced pistol and, when he's feeling dramatic, a heavy three-foot bamboo flute that he uses like a hanbo. His fighting style is an eclectic mixture loosely based on a foundation of Karate and Kempo, with a smattering of other arts and plain old bloodlust layered on top.

If Sanchez asked some friends in Tokio or Hong Kong for a favor, they might well have sent Sora to help him.
