I don't have much experience with RP, but it seems pretty fun so might as well try!
Name:
Kwu Cho-Jao
Appearance:
Kwu is a well built man of Chinese descent. He keeps his black hair almost shaved. He almost always wears a black suit and tie, devoid of any ornaments, yet still of great quality. Whenever he takes it off, you can admire the full body tattoo of a snow white tiger roaring representing his old gang.
Cliches:
-Triad Enforcer (3): If you can intimidate a man into paying a protection fee, you don't need to break his legs so he understands. Of course, sometimes, a little roughing up and a few broken fingers serve as a great reminder of who runs the town.
-High risk driver (3): Kwu's years as the mountain chief's driver left him with experience of how to drive a vehicle in the most dangerous of situations: chases in dangerous terrain, while being attacked, are nothing new.
-Con artist (2): An honest man cannot be part of the Triads and Kwu is far from that. He has knowledge of how to swindle people into buying fake medicine and how to make them believe the most outrageous lies.
-Chinese Traditional medicine (1): Chinese medicine, while not as recognized as western medicine, does bring interesting things to the tables. Rumors talk about drugs that can kill a man outright, make another stronger than the biggest of bulls and many other strange things.
-Gambling (1): An essential skill and hobby of every triad member. Lives have been built and lost over dice and mahjong tables and sometimes, lady luck needs a little help to set the odds.
How you got there:
Crime can be very lucrative, especially when you are a member of the Báihǔ bāngpài, White Tiger Clan, one of the main triads of Seattle. Kwu Cho-Jao used to be one of the many members of the clan. He joined the gang early in his life, but rose in the ranks fast. His great driving skills made him to serve as driver to the mountain master, Yaong Qu-Ying. Seeing his rise in ranks as a threat, other lieutenants organized his downfall. They planted false proof of Kwu dealing with a rival gang and made it known to the master. Response was immediate and he sentenced Kwu to death by the five thunderbolts, as prescribed in the 36 oaths. Through shrewd argumentation and the lack of solid proof against him, Kwu was able to convince the master to banish him from the gang instead.
Having lost his family and work, Kwu searched for a place that would accept him. Steelhead was not the obvious choice, but the mismatched band of mercenaries reminded him of himself in an odd way and quickly enough, he found himself working there full time as a wheel man and soldier.
Between assignments, Kwu still searches for proof of the treachery he was victim. Not to join back with the White Tiger Clan, a broken oath being impossible to mend, but to regain his honor as a true member of the underworld and to enact bloody revenge on the traitors.
