MartialArts/GhettoFabulousStreetQueen
There's hos and then there's hos.
Some Exalts delve a little into shady and questionable practices. Others dive in with nary a look back. For anyone dumb enough to take the second path, there is a school of martial arts that takes the illicit and unhealthy practices of two bit whores and turns them into something to be feared... both for the practicioner and those who finds themselves on the recieving end of her wrath.
Ghetto Queens are adept at using whatever happens to be on hand when things go sour, and so practicioners of the Ghetto Fabulous Street Queen Style may be considered unarmed when wielding improvised brawl weapons. Bottles of liquor, chairs, hand mirrors, whatever.
