Santa Claus   

Every year the last three years, a big, fat, guy in a red Christmas suit has popped up on the Street Fighting circuit, challenging Street Fighters left and right. He travels with his mobile arena, a trailer with a reindeer sled painted on each side. The trailer has fold-out walls, and houses a decent-sized arena. Santa will only fight on his own arena, and will only fight in the period from December 1st 'till December 24th. Christmas Day, he says, is a rather busy time for him.

The Street Fighter calling himself Santa, Father Christmas, or whatever, is suitable to be inserted as a strange encounter in the time before Christmas. He will challenge any and all Street Fighters in a given area to fight him on his own arena. He challenges using post cards (Christmas cards, naturally), challenging a Street Fighter to fight him on his own arena, which he calls the North Pole.

He is almost a mythical figure in Street Fighting. Nobody knows who he really is (if he really is who he says he is, it'll be too incredible), or what he does the rest of the year. Some says it is Dhalsim in disguise, using this subtle way of making fun of Christmas, but wrestlers that has managed to grab Santa, insists that it is real fat and love handles under all the beard and red Christmas suit. Street Fighters being Street Fighters, any further discussion usually degenerates into fisticuffs.

The real truth is far more sinister than his jolly exterior would indicate. Santa is in reality a Jonin (master) of a ninja-clan in Japan, using this rather eccentric disguise to check that his skills are still up to the rigors of combat. If someone (by accident or by design) should uncover his true identity, it is very likely that he will take extreme measures to protect his secret.

Under the beard and the fat (which is real), a fighting machine hides. He may look funny, and he may speak English with a strange accent, but he'll still kick your ass whether you've been a good boy or not!

Although Santa has a tendency to stick with his combos, he has a tendency to ignore the traditional round of grace before the fight begins, and start the pre-round round with a Speed of the Mongoose. Even though he's fat, he is frighteningly fast and supple. To top it off, hidden speakers blare out Christmas songs and carols all the time, granting Santa his Musical Accompaniment. It is suggested that the GM plays for instance White Christmas when the player characters encounter Santa in the ring.

Disguise Style is a [Wits + Disguise Style] rolled versus a difficulty of 6, negating Style Lore successes to uncover Santa's style on a one to one basis. Santa really prefers it when noone knows what style he uses, as that might be the beginning of a chain of information leading to his true identity.
