Eui-Jin is the daughter of Ja-Un, one of the semi-mystic Seven Secret Masters of Korean Martial Arts. Eui-Jin trained all her life as a martial artist, often using her powers in secret to fight crime in Seoul. A chance meeting with Sanghwan, a hapless but well meaning young police officer, led to Eui-Jin facing off against a rogue Secret Master, helping to save the world, and achieving her rightful place as the Arachi (the Enlightened Warrior).
That her now-partner and boyfriend Sanghwan achieved the power of the Maruchi (the male compliment to her own power) seemed unfair, but Sanghwan's obvious devotion and good character make up in part for this injustice. Together, as profesional and romantic partners, the Arachi and the Maruchi now work to defend the people of Korea.
Eui-Jin is self confident to the point of being reckless, a dutiful daughter, a woman of iron principles, and just a little bossy in the manner of a beautiful woman who knows it. She has an almost sibling rivalry with Sanghwan, resenting his easy discovery of skills that took her years to master. This is somewhat offset by the affection she feels for him, and the pleasure she takes in his obvious devotion to her.
Eui-Jin believes her skills should be used to make the world a better place in small ways (fighting crime), but follows her father's teachings and holds a dim view of attempts to achieve worldly power.
No palm blasts in the house!
The Arachi (Enlightened Warrior) is a skilled martial artist, supported by a range of formidable Chi based powers. She can briefly levitate, make astonishing leaps, run up and down walls, strike with incredible force, paralyze enemies, and even project a Palm Blast of pure psychic force. She is also quite beautiful and charming, able to awe some enemies and cause others to hold back when fighting her. To this she adds the skills of a life long student of the martial arts.
The Arachi, for all of her power, is not invulnerable. She can take a severe beating and get back up again, but does not casually shrug off damage. In many combat situations, she's best off taking time to block, deflect incoming attacks, dodge, and wait for an opportunity to inflict damage.
Arahan has been described as Shaolin Soccer by way of Sam Raimi's Spiderman. The pattern of a Superhero origin story is blended with the pattern of a Wuxia martial arts film; the two genres blend well. This version of the character was written for a convention game, and may need to be adjusted for other campaigns.
A very beautiful young Korean woman, slender and black haired. Wears street clothes or a martial arts uniform.
