Style
Sen is skilled at Hand to Hand combat, having developed a style called Wujilongquan (Wu-ji dragon fist), which allows him to redirect the power of the opponent's attacks, tiring the opponent out before delivering the final strike. He is also skilled at using his weapon, Pan Long, effectively.

Sen likes to stall in his fights to drain the opponent's energy. Sen has low stamina so he likes to move as efficiently as possible.

Weapons
Sen's weapon is called the Pan Long, meaning "coiled dragon". The Pan Long technically has 5 transformations but one of them is for being easier to carry.

Pan Long's default non-weapon storage state is a par of bundles of 3 separate 30cm metal rods, they are stored in Sen's pouches.

The weapon's first form is a pair of 90cm long short fighting sticks. Its second is a pair of tonfas also 90cm long, the handle is 23cm long. Sen also uses the tonfas as hammers and hooks.

The weapon's third form is a 180cm long bo staff, and the final form is a glaive with a 30cm long blade. The blade's main purpose, as Sen explains, is "to threaten people, because sticks aren't very threatening."

Sen also possesses a slingshot for long-ranged attacks.

Semblance
Glyph barrier.

It is more complicated than it sound. The glyph is Sen's emblem and the barrier part is when it is complicated.

The barrier has two types: Shield and Absorb.

When at Shield the glyph glows slightly gold, blocking any form of attack but shatters after 3 seconds. When at Absorb the glyph glows slightly purple and absorbs any impact or energy for 5 seconds before fading away. The more impact absorbed at the Absorb glyph the longer the duration that the Shield glyph lasts on the next use.

How does Sen determine what type he is using? He doesn't! The Absorb glyph only occurs occasionally when he gets emotional.

Strengths
Sen is an excellent hand to hand combatant, and is experienced on using his weapons.

His fighting style is self developed so opponents would be surprised at the new style and seemingly unpredictable movements.

Sen is very good at tactics, and seeing the opponent's weaknesses.

He is very cautious.

Weaknesses
Low stamina, easily drained.

Sen may be cautious but he can be too cautious. Sometimes he miss opportunities because he don't want to risk it.

He may be a good fighter but he has his limits. Once met by a better fighter he would have to take some time to adjust his style.

When using semblance to hold very powerful blows he himself could get hurt physically and when overusing the semblance he would experience fatigue.

Trivia
Sen is Chinese (森) for "Forest" or "Jungle". Ye can be interpreted in two ways in Chinese. 叶, meaning "Leaf" or 夜 meaning "Night".

Sen is loosely based on Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and also Sun-Wu-Kong from Journey To The West to an even lesser extent.
