Alright, token short guy is go!

Name: "Short" Guy Merryweather
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Career: Martial Artist
Appearance: Guy's most notable physical feature is, unsurprisingly, his height. He stands at a staggering 4 feet 2 inches. He has a shaved head, and it otherwise average in most other respects.
Special Abilities:
Speedy Little DudeGiven his lack of size, Guy's technique is more speed-based than strength based. However, this makes his fighting technique a rather reckless one, as he tends to throw his entire weight behind a good portion of his attack (lots of flying kicks, flying punches, flying tackles, etc).
Destructo Disc: In the proud tradition of height-challenged martial arts, on of Guy's strongest ki attacks is the Destructo Disc.
Equipment: Martial arts gi and belt, stuff to keep his head shaved with.
Biography: This is a stereotype in the martial arts community. A dark, popular belief that no one will openly profess, but that everyone believes:

Short men can't fight.

Given this deeply held belief, Guy was maybe destined for failure. Entering the world of martial arts with the stature of a 10 year old, Guy was immediately marginalized by his peers, and was almost right away was given the nickname "Short Guy".

Guy has been trying to break the stereotype against vertically challenged people on the tournament scene for a few years, with varied success. While he hasn't won any tournaments, he also hasn't been steamrolled in any of them, either. However, average fighter + short = virtual unknown at best, laughing stock at worst. In spit of this, Guy soldiers on, hoping to break the stereotype (and do good enough to earn a living).
