THE MASTER: (Ranked Third)
The Master is a small and elderly man, and a long time participant on the association. He enjoys a large and faithful fan base, his matches tending to be more entertaining than the most. As his name suggests, he is a master of an ancient art, in which the strength of the opponent is used against him. He is also the longest reigned champion, but lost his position long ago to a fighter who then again, lost his position against The Hand of Death.
He have not challenged any fighters for a long time, but answers the challenges frequently losing his position as the second only because of not attempting to a match he had already accepted. There is a lot of speculation who would win, The Wrestler or The Master as they never faced each other on the stage.
In the past, there have been lots of speculations about The Masters origin, and the most of the guesses seem to resolve around Asian or Mediterranean backround.
There is also speculation on his retirement, and he certainly have been more weary as of late.

man, suffering -2 to his Strength, -2 to his Constitution, -2 to his Perception and -1 to his Coordination.

He also gains a +3 bonus on any Willpower Tests to resists any effects that target ones mind, even against the Polaris Effects of that kind.
QI CIRCULATION: The Master is able to use his inner strength to boost his physical abilities.

However, this technique can not be used two rounds on a row, but there must be at least one round between the circulations.
GENTLE PALM: The Master can use a Martial Arts:Defensive technique where he gently pushes the opponents strike only just away from the target. This is a normal Defensive or Full Defensive action with a further +3 modifier.
GENTLE PUSH: Sometimes while using the Gentle Palm, The Master pushes the opponent to the direction of his force. This is treated as a Martial Arts:Throw action that can be done in the same turn than the Gentle Palm without further penalties. This is his signature technique and seems magical even to more experienced fighters and their opinion is that there must be more to it than the amount of force that is being directed, being able to break the trained balance of a veteran fighter.
GENTLE SWEEP: Sometimes while using the Gentle Palm, The Master uses his leg at the same time, attempting to unbalance the opponent. This is treated as a Martial Arts:Wrestling Sweep or Unbalancing attack, and can be done on the same turn than Gentle Palm without any further penalties.
GENTLE LOCK: The Gentle Lock is the only damaging technique that The Master have been seen using during his fights. It might not seem anything special, but according to those who have experienced it, the pressure on the joint is precise, strong and unmovable - usually resulting as a decision to surrender by the opponent. This technique is also how his matches tend to end and is often used after toying with the opponent on a show like fashion, throwing the opponent around like a doll.
