[edit] Story
Generally a pacifist, Dhalsim fights to raise money for his village, but realizes that it contradicts his pacifist beliefs. The only significant part he played in the overall story of the series was to make Cammy self-aware.
Dhalsim retired from fighting after the second World Warrior tournament, and continued to roam the world helping those in need. Dhalsim appears in the latest game in the series, Street Fighter IV. Since his introduction to the series, he has been married to his wife Sari.
[edit] Appearance
Dhalsim is often depicted as having pupil-less eyes. His build is that of an underweight man who exercises and weight trains regularly. He wears torn saffron shorts as his only clothing attire, as well as wristbands and anklebands. He has three colored stripes adorning his head, and in the Street Fighter Alpha series, he wears a turban that he removes before battle. The skulls he wears around his neck are those of village children who died during a plague. He is the oldest of the original World Warriors.
[edit] Abilities
Dhalsim has the power to suspend himself in midair, stretch his extremities in ways beyond the average human, breathe fire, read minds, and sense evil, the latter of which he uses to locate the sinister M. Bison.
Using the Yoga Spear, Dhalsim can spin through the air at various angles, ideally landing close to his opponent so that he can deliver additional hits or throws.
He can project from his mouth a rapid, immobilizing projectile known as Yoga Fire, and a stationary spread known as the Yoga Flame; later games incorporate the anti-air version known as the Yoga Blast. This was a gift from Agni, the Indian god of fire. To escape opponents or otherwise change his physical location, Dhalsim can travel bodily through the astral plane in a form of teleportation, known as the Yoga Teleport.
