Lei Feng

Name: Lei Feng "Suicide" Wang
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: Suicide stands at 5'10", a remarkable height for both his time and circumstance. His lithe, muscular build is often obscured by his thick trench coat. His hair is actually worn in a tight up bun, and is a shiny black. His skin is dusky, but littered with milky scars that crisscross his entire body. His eyes are a flat brown and slanted, with a clean shaven face. When on the job, he wears a bandanna and tinted goggles.

Clothing: Trousers, suspenders, tan trench coat, holsters, dress shirt.
Possessions: A miaodao, assortment of knives, a Browning Hi-Power, tea leaves, tea pot/boiler
Current Wealth: $15 ($150.33 adjusted for inflation)

Personality: One gets a glimpse into Lei Feng's personality when they hear his nickname of "Suicide". Suicide is an absolutely broken individual who has lost all sense of morality and only lives to fight and kill. He sees fighting as a means to test and reaffirm the fragility of human life. He has lost all faith in authority and his fellow man, and believes that the only remotely trustworthy person in life is oneself. He is also extremely dangerous, changing moods at the drop of a coin or a the littlest of things. He is also prone to singing patriotic songs while fights, like Guerilla's Song or The Sword March

History: A veteran of the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War, Lei Feng has been fighting since the age of thirteen against the Japanese, and then his fellow countrymen. He served with distinction during World War 2 as part of a suicide squad in the National Revolution Army, surviving missions he had no right to survive in the first place. The toll of fighting and the constant loss of friends and allies broke Lei Feng's psyche, leaving him little more than a raving murder machine. He was so effective that he was on of the first to be given guns when supplies came in from the Allied powers.

After WW 2 ended, he was given some help from doctors and was beginning to recover when the Chinese Civil War began anew and he was thrown once more into the fighting. Deciding that it wasn't worth dying for the Kuomintang nor serve the People's Republic, Lei Fang smuggled himself over to America, teaching himself English on the trip.

Once he arrived, it took him a few months to reach Cape Freedom, walking and stealing vehicles to make the trip. Once he arrived he began making a name for himself among the fighting rings of Cape Freedom. This was were he received his nickname, from his wild, reckless, and suicidal fighting style. His fortunes truly began to change when he caught the eye of an ambitious small time family member, and hired to take out a rival. He now offers his services to the highest bidder, but his loyalty is as stable as the full moon is constant.

Position

Convict

Age

20

Gender

Male

Charged Crime(s)

War Crimes, Murder, Public Indecency

Reputation

Be advised, the Teufelshunde, Cù, is a violent and dangerous individual that is to be avoided at all cost. He has been tried for war crimes, but was released due to the fact that as a clone, his actions could not legally be held accountable according to the law code of his people. He was let free, only to be arrested three years later after a psychotic episode involving four bodies, a statue, 3 liters of milk and 4 kilos of explosives. This time, Cù was convicted and was given a choice between life imprisonment, death, or the life of a Picker. Obviously the hound to lead the life of a picker, where he has worked for two years.

Appearance

Cù is a tall humanoid with dull, matted black fur and blue eyes. Due to being a clone, Cù is nondescript among others of his race, near uncannily so. He stands 6'5" and weighs 370 lbs, lean for his species. Cù also wears a torc around his neck which served as a barcode from when he was a clone soldier. He has little physical augmentation, since his species has a cultural aversion to cybernetics. Cù's race is the Teufelshunde, a species of humanoid canines that have a large range of forms and sizes among one species, ranging from short and stout laborers to tall, proportioned leaders. Fur colors range from white to russet, with eye colors ranging from blue to brown.

Weight

Personality

Personality
Raised as a soldier, Cù is heavily socially stunted, and has only recently started to mature under the influence of the galaxy's key philosophers, namely those who preach a message of self reliance and absolute freedom. At times, he offers deep wisdom, and others he's laughing at a poop joke that he just told. While he is not dumb, quite the opposite in fact, he has difficulty connecting and empathizing with other sapient, viewing them and himself in a systematized way, based on utility and birth.
As well, Cù is heavily traumatized by his actions during the civil war, where he was ordered to commit atrocities with his unit. This has left him with a conflicting view of authority, distrusting it while simultaneously deferring his judgement to his superiors. He rarely acts on his own, unless he has a psychotic episode, in which he goes into a berserker rage, attacking everything is sight. What causes this change, not even Cù himself know.

History

History

Cù is a trained veteran of the planet scale Teufelshunde Civil War, where he served on the side of the separatist forces rebelling against their races caste system. Born and bred for war, Cù is actually a clone soldier that had been stolen and indoctrinated by the separatists to serve as shock infantry for the less martially bred main rebel force. He took part in the sack and massacre of multiple loyalists cities, however the clone eventually deserted and was captured by loyalist forces shortly afterwards

As mentioned in an earlier post, Cù is a highly unstable individual. He was born fully grown, and was not taught to be anything but a killer. He has spent two years as a picker, slowly building up enough credits to his freedom. With his handlers sudden interest with humanity, Cù is very excited to delve into the remnants of this "human" race and perhaps a way to his freedom.

Race Info

Teufelshunde

Lifespan

135-210 years for Alphas, 80-100 for Betas, 50-70 for Gammas. 20-50 for Deltas, 10-20 for Epsilons (Very brave new world, I know)

Home planet

Lupa-717, the home planet of the Teufelshunde, is a planet with similar atmospheric and gravitational conditions as Earth. The planet's biosphere is extremely varied, dominated by plains, jungle, tundra and arctic biomes. There are three major cities, Remus, Romulus and the capital Lycaon. Remus is the major manufacturer of the planet, producing technology and goods. With a population of 13 billion, primarily Deltas and Epsilons. Romulus is a city built entirely on training and education. It houses the training academies of the Alpha and Beta armed forces, as well as providing trade schools for Betas and Gammas. Lycaon is the main trade hub, the administration center, and cultural center of the Teufelshunde. The city is a cosmopolitan sprawl of interconnected arcologies, housing billions of sapients.

Culture

Culture

The Teufelshunde have a caste system, designated Alpha (Leaders), Betas (Soldiers, researchers, etc.), Gammas (Artisans, office workers), Deltas (Manufactuers, skilled laborers), and the Epsilons (Servants, menial labor, "slave". For the Teufelshunde, birth and status is everything, determining the occupation, living status, as well as the manner in which one interacts with others. Social mobility is almost non-existant in the culture and society of the Teufelshunde, which causes some issues as discussed later. Non-Teufelshunde are treated depending on their occupation and birth in a similar manner to the caste system, only more lenient.

Due to the fact that the caste system is based on the genetics of the Teufelshunde, cloning is an acceptable practice in society, though mainly for the Betas and Epsilons. The Betas use cloning to maintain a large military force for the Alpha leaders, while the Epsilon clones are used to bolster the workforce. Due to the lack of care in cloning Epsilons, the caste as a whole is full of genetic defects that renders them incapable of higher mental functions and a short life span.

The Teufelshunde Civil war was a conflict between the Alpha and Beta ruling class and the lower castes. The Deltas, Gamma, and Epsilon populations outnumber the Alpha and Beta population by five to one. Though the ruling class had superior troops and technology, the Levelers (the name of the revolters) managed to gain a string of victories and pushed the ruling class out of Remus. Within Remus, the Levelers discovered a batch of Beta clone soldiers whom they promptly exploited against their enemies. For ten years, the Levelers held Remus, before the Alphas and Betas managed to retake the city and punish the Levelers. The next thirteen years saw a campaign of reduction and repression of the lower classes, with the upper classes taking complete control of the Epsilon masses. To this end, the practice of cloning has begin to lose favor, and clones have also been part of teh crackdown by the government

He also has a few small scars dot his lower legs, along his calves and ankles. His slanted eyes are a warm brown that appears amber under the right light, and are framed with long lashes. His black hair is usually well kept and short, but Anson has planned on growing it out this school year.

Color wise, Anson leans towards darks and greys, along with a brightly colored accessory like an orange scarf. His clothes them selves seem to vary greatly, ranging from tight and form fitting to loose and flowing. This also extends to his accessories and shoes, which seem to change every day. A "usual" outfit is a long sleeved and tight black shirt, leather jacket, black slacks, converse and a crimson beanie.

| Personality |
Anson Oxford is... interesting. On first glance he seems to be a little bit of a bro, being absolutely accepting of people, and kind to almost everyone. He is almost always seen with a shit-eating grin on his face, ready to quip or snark playfully. Despite his stinging tongue, he never truly makes fun of others. He also quite quick-witted, a skill that he developed from LARPing that serves him well in other social interactions. He is also extremely protective of those who call him a friend, willing to go to extremes for them with little regard for himself. This is to the point of being called, admiringly and derogatorily, a guard dog.

That nickname is also more accurate than most can guess. Anson is also capable of surprising amounts of aggressiveness, enough to shock and scare away potential friends as a child. He is also vicious when he deals with those he deals with those who he feels has wronged either him or his, capable of great and terrifying feats of violence.

But this isn't the only layer of Anson's personality, beneath it all Anson is best described as empty. His entire persona is defined by his interactions with others, his happiness is the happiness of others and the same for sadness. This is rarely seen, and manifests in a rather cynical and callous personality when he is fully relaxed, but still retains aspects of the rest of his personality. He is most likely to become like this when he get's extremely drunk.

| Place of Origin |
Hong Kong

| History |
Anson, born Tao Bairu, was born as a child of a prostitute and a US soldier. His mother was a Chinese prostitute in Hong Kong, and his father a US Seaman on shore leave. It was a miracle that his mother didn't abort him immediately after she found her pregnancy. Nine months later, he was in government care. A year later he was adopted by an old rich couple, the Oxfords, who had decided to start a family late. He was there first child, and the rest of his four siblings were all born from the parents. He internalized early, despite the discouragement of his parents, that he was different than the rest of his siblings, and that they were more important to the happiness of his adopted parents than he was. This lead him to ask his parents to ask for martial arts classes supposedly to enrich himself, but in reality was to be able to protect his siblings.

He began dancing, free-running, and even LARPing because of his siblings. His younger sister, Julie, began dancing when he was five, and came home crying after the first class. He joined to protect her, and grew to enjoy dance even as his sister eventually stopped. He began free running when his younger brother George became interested. Anson's adopted parents told George that they would only allow the boy to free run if Anson went with him. The same thing happened, George eventually tired of the activity while Anson found himself entranced as he had been with dance. The final activity, LARPing, came from his two youngest siblings, twins Helen and Castor. They were the readers and dreamers of the family, and they were the ones to introduce Anson to the world of fantasy, sci-fi, and roleplaying. He joined his siblings at their first LARP event when he was fourteen and they were ten. It quickly became a tradition for the three, and helped to foster a strong bond between the three.

The year before he transferred to St. Mary's, Anson had an free running accident which nearly shattered his ankles and shins. During the recovery Anson slowly became addicted to the painkillers that were given to him. He hides it as best he can but he doesn't want to burden his family and so is looking for an alternate revenue stream to fund his addiction.

mines up, any changes you want me to make?

Theo's relationships

|✧| Elizabeth - "A light, even in the darkest of nights." | "Elixabeth's kinda like a pizza. Enough to make one person happy and satisfied, or to feed and draw a group of people together."
One of the few people capable of calming Theo down during one of his fits, Elizabeth acts as a sort of lifeline for the young man. When he first met the girl, during Home Ec class, he had scowled and cut into her verbally, how dare she act as if he wasn't aware of her cruelty. A cruelty that never existed, a figment of paranoia and resignation. Given time however, she broke down his walls, provinng him wrong and confusing him on what someone like her saw in someone like him. Nonetheless, he enjoyed the companionship she provided, even as his conciousness screamed that he leave her. Ignoring the voices is difficult, and has led to more than one breakdown that Eliazbeth managed to calm. In turn, he notices how she acts when parents are mentioned, and is always ready to grill a burger or bake a pizza and banter to help her forget her problems for a little while. He has yet to lose his sense of inferiority, but even in the most bleakest of nights, she's there like the sunrise chasing away the dark.

|✧| Aiden - "A good guy to bounce ideas off of, and someone who can be as blunt to me as I can with others." | "Just like kimchi, Aiden's a bit sour, kinda salty but okay once you ge used to it."
Aiden is Theo's go to guy when it comes to games. One of the few Asians in the area, Theo met the other Asian through his parents. Theo felt for the guy, having gone through a similar situation as a child. He was one of the few people Theo approached as a friend on his own volition, and relishes their interactions. It was through these interactions that Theo truly began to cook, learning how to make Korean dishes as well as Chinese. Due to their similarities, Theo often agrees with Aiden offering concurrent opinions and bouncing ideas off of each other. Theo knows that Aiden sees him as a sort of negative role model, and he's fine with that, he wouldn't wish his issues on anyone else. True, they've butt heads on their opinions of games and making kimchi stinks up his room for weeks, but he wouldn't have it any other way. They're similar on the surface, but Theo knows that Aiden's darkness is capable of dissipating eventually.

|✧| Alyx - "Can't say I thought much of her in the beginning. Now? A peer, someone who understands, though her like of twizzlers continues to confuse me."
Alyx is one of those person's that he would have made cry if he hadn't gotten to know here. If Elizabeth hadn't become friends with her, she and Theo would probably be mortal enemies. It's because of her that he thinks twice before judging people based on their appearances. He understands her feelings of inadequency, and sympathizes with her. To him, she deals with her feelings better than he does, at least she didn't used to spend countless lunch periods in the bathroom in a fetal posistion crying and cursing himself. The first time he saw her walls fall, he was honestly shocked and honestly regretful. He relishes the time that her walls drop, and like how he helps the others he is always ready an willing to make her favorite dish and offer a person to tallk to. He likes to think they have a mutual repspect as artists and sympathy as fellow self-loathers.

|✧| Sophie - "Creative, awkward, and an absolutely terrible human being for all the puns she makes." | "M&M cookies fit her, colorful, sweet and warm."
Theo enjoys Sophie's presence. Her sunny personality contrasts with his dark anf dreary thoughts, and injects a welcome distraction into his day. It's because of her that his family resturant has begun to smell of cookies and other sweets, hust as it's Elizabeth's friendship introduced the hissing sound of a grill amongst the the woks and steamers. He understands her reluctance during internal strife, as his own walls are a more aggressive form on neutrality by insulting everyone equally. He may groan, snark, and belittle at her awkwardness and puns, but he does it less intesity than with others. He enjoys her bubbly creativity, and enjoys bouncing ideas with her. He enjoys her works, and thoroughly critiques her works while working on illustrations for her. He draws on his vast repertoire of literary and video game tropes and plots to point out when oversights or cliches in her stories.He also pushes her to keep her deadlines, helping her keep track of dates and other things while she's lost in her thoughts. And when she comes down from the clouds of thought, Theo always makes sure there's M&M cookies waiting for her

|✧| Roslyn - "Like Elizabeth, the life of our group though I wish that she wasn't so flighty." | "I guess that I'd call Roslyn a makizushi roll. A fragile outer layer, a layer of innocent white, and a surprise center filled with almost any ingrediant imaginable."
Theo worried about Roslyn the moment he laid eyes on her in the art room. He had called her an airhead mentally, and was not at all surprised that he was right. What he didn't anticipate was her eternal entusiasm, which rubbed him the wrong way initially. Why did she get to be happy and comfortable, while he wallowed in self-hatred? Slowly though, she inserted herself into his life as a new constant, a friend. He's not really sure how it happened, but eventually they began having conversations that went beyond "What do you think of this color scheme" and "How did you drop an open water bottle into a box of plaster strips?". Their relationship grew, to the point that Theo's insults began to decrease in their frequency and caustic quality. He still occasionally calls her "airhead" or , more sarcastically, "cinammon roll" (huzzah for The Onion). He worries about her, not as much as her brother, but as much as he worries for everyone else in his little group. Whenever Roslyn needs someone to talk to, he's always there ready with his bamboo makisu and nori.

|✧| Loki - "... I feel that the only reason he stands my snarking is because of Roslyn and the fact that I make chocolate cake for him." | "Probably the most labor intensive of my friend's favorite foods, I feel that it kinda fits our friendship. The ingerdients need to be measured, eggs have to be broken, but you still have to let time run it's course."
Theo is pretty sure Loki didn't take his snarky behavior well when they first met. The other boy is similar to himself, he recognizes the external signs when his words hit to deep. They had met through Roslyn, a natural consequence of their friendship. Theo's pretty sure he pressed some buttons with his constant snarking, but he hadn't expected to get into a fight with the other boy. It was only by the intervention of Roslyn and a peace offering of a chocolate cake that they're relationship became positive.Though the roots of their issues were different, Theo feels a connection with the conflicted boy. The self-doubt, the loathing, the alienation, all familiar and unwanted but constant. Theo could honestly care less about Loki's identity, he's a friend and that's all that matters and anyone who gives him grief quickly finds themselves under a verbal assault by Theo.

|✧| Callum - "I'm not even sure how the hell I stand him at times." | "Caution, Callum, like Chile con Carne, may cause indigestion, high blood pressure and frustration. Approach with an open mind"
If someone told Theo that he would have a friend like Callum, he would have laughed and called them delusional. Yet, here he is, friends with the pig-headed and atmosphere-blind jokester. He began the relationship belittling Callum constantly, annoyed by his thick skin and childish personality. Now, the insults have evolved into their current form of chiding the young man for his childishness and simple mindedness. He is still annoyed by Callum occasionally, but he no longer feels extreme anger and frustration towards the boy. He may not be the most understanding of people, but at least he's reasonably competant and willing to play video games. Callum wouldn't have been Theo's first choice of friend, but he's still a friend who accepts him.
