Name: Syaoran "Sai" Kuli Chandler
Hero Name: Seraph
Known Alias':
Age: 11 years
Powers: Syaoran inherited his mother's powers and abilities, with some minor variations.
- Super Strength (~1 ton): Syaoran is roughly ten times stronger than an adult human male.
- Visual Light Manipulation: Syaoran can manipulate a broader spectrum of the visual electromagnetic spectrum than his mother, giving his powers a more "rainbow-like" effect. These can be used to generate light sources or kinetic force blasts.
- Flight: Syaoran can fly using his light manipulation powers, leaving a rainbow trail in his wake.
Equipment: Nintendo Switch, Smart Watch
Skills: Hand-to-Hand Combat, Shi'ar technology
Appearance: A skinny pre-teen, Syaoran displays a predominantly Shi'ar physiology, with the most prominent feature being the feathers that grow from his head (in lieu of the hair exhibited in humans). Like his mother, Syaoran's feathers do not adopt the traditional "triangular" shape, being instead downturned and giving him a more bed-headed appearance. His eyes exhibit the same markings and lines as his mother, as well as her same violet irises. While lighter in skin tone than the average Shi'ar (or his mother), Syaoran's pigmentation is more golden than the typical pink hue of a Caucasian.
Known Associates: Excalibur (by virtue of his mother), John Constantine (by reputation only, by virtue of his father)
Known Adversaries: Rev. Craig Sinclair, who believes the union of man and alien is an afront to God's image or design. By extension, Syaoran is a known target of both the Purifiers and Friends of Humanity.
Canon Basis: Son of Cerise and Chas Chandler.
Bio: It is a tale as old as science fiction itself. Cab driver working in London. Hot alien warrior chick crashes through roof of said cab, and the two fall in love whilst fighting for their lives in SoHo. Well, Cerise did most of the fighting and Chas did most of the driving, and when it was all said and done the two were alive -- and Chas discovered the Shi'ar don't use anything resembling currency on this planet. So, instead, he got her to agree to a coffee date. Then she left to save the world, but they saw each other again. Then again. One thing led to another and Syaoran was conceived six months later -- much to both their surprise, given that they were two different species.
Honor compelled Cerise to bring their family together before the child was born, a tense period for their relationship before the two unlikely partners tied the knot in Avalon. Over the next ten years, both would sacrifice their careers at times for the sake of raising the son that they had brought into the world. Chas stopped driving for awhile to be a stay at home dad, then Cerise took a leave of absence from Excalibur after a harrowing sequence of events that had nearly cost them all of their lives.
Now that Syaoran is a little older, both have been able to return to their chosen vocation with fewer reservations. Cerise still doesn't leave Earth as much as she used to, opting instead to stay behind as the rear guard while Excalibur does what needs to be done to keep England and the world safe. Likewise, Chas is home for dinner every night -- even though the most lucrative hours are when the pubs close. It leaves the family of three on a tight budget in a small flat, but it's a relatively normal life as one can have in jolly ol' England. The one exception is that both Cerise and Syaoran are clearly not human -- or not entirely human in the case of the boy. Their feathers, their distinctive eyes, and the golden hues of their skin distinguish them, which made Syaoran a rather public infant when revealed that a cab driver and an extraterrestrial had a baby.
Some of that attention has been good, or at least well-intentioned. The National Institute of Health would happily use Syaoran as a guinea pig for research purposes. Others have been ill-intentioned, whether intended or otherwise. The Right Reverend Craig Sinclair being the foremost voice in opposition, stoking religious fervor and even at times appearing to call for violence in response. These messages have found their home among those who believe humanity has lost its way, such as the Purifiers or Friends of Humanity. At times a nuisance. At other times a very real threat. While his mother has schooled him in the ways of the Shi'ar warrior culture, she knows that she cannot protect him all of the time. So the family turns to Tony Stark's new initiative, in the hopes that Syaoran can learn to protect himself and others -- and maybe make friends of connections to help keep him safe as well.
