I've RPed before and I'm in no way a beginner, but I'd like to apply as a beginner character for roleplay reasons and to see how I can work under restriction.

Full Name: Ito Zang Wei
Gender: Male
Age:16
Element: None
Birthplace: Hing Wa (Outlying Fire Nation Island)
Position: Novice Spearman and Chi Blocker
Training: Spear fighting [Beginner], Chi Blocking [Beginner], Meditation [Beginner], Pai Sho [Beginner]

Personality:

Abilities:

• Spear Fighting: [Beginner] Ito is a student of the spear and has been now for little over a year. While he has become proficient in the basic forms and the determination of a spearman in combat he still lacks the mastery of his own dexterity and advanced techniques of spearmanship. He shows promise in his advancement and seeks to better himself in this skill.
  
  
• hand to Hand Combat (Grappling): [Beginner] Before running, a spearman has to crawl. Ito was taught hand to hand grappling techniques that are vital both when unarmed and when wielding a weapon. Often in battle one will find themselves grappling their enemies in combat to gain an advantage, a skill which was taught to Ito in order for him to understand that possessing a weapon is not what makes a solider. That weapon can be taken away or broken, but the body can be used in its place.
  
  
• Chi Blocking: [Beginner] The master Ito trained under for his first year was known for incorporating the art of chi blocking into his use of the spear in battle. This made his forms and techniques controversial to other masters who viewed this as a dirty tactic for an honorable art, but has nonetheless proven effective in disabling opponents in battle while keeping on the attack, particularly is the blade of the spear is used to cause long term or permanent damage to vital chi paths within the body. Ito possesses basic knowledge of the chi system within a body and how to disrupt the major points in order to render limbs weakened or useless. However he still lacks the knowledge of how to manipulate these points in subtler ways as well as knowledge of the entirety of the body's chi pathways, his basic knowledge limiting him to a direct and forceful application of pressure with his weapon or hands to block these pathways.
  
  
• Meditation: [Beginner] Part of understanding the nature of chi and its connection to the physical body is to understand the connection between the spiritual being and the physical anchor it inhabits. Meditation was part of the training Ito received at the hands of his master in order to learn control over his body and mind. The techniques taught allows Ito to follow the flow of fury that courses through the body in battle, the thrill that comes when a man is in the middle of a melee that guides their motion and the strength of their blows. Through this skill Ito has the ability to focus his mind and feel the spirit world around him.
  
  
• Pai Sho: [Beginner] The game of Pai Sho has often been used by generals and marshal scholars to understand the art of warfare. Unlike the similar but attrition based game of Chess, Pai Sho instead operates on the idea of territory capture. This teaches the student the ability using the least amount of pieces to capture the greatest amount of space on the board rather than to go for the highest ranked piece. It also has the benefit of teaching the students that not all battles fought result in victory, and that the retreat of an army who does not fear disgrace is valued higher than one that covets victory and continues to advance.
