Personality:
Lei is best described as a girl with a penchant for the grandiose and the absurd. Irresponsible but not childish, she likes to seek amusement and enjoy the world, sometimes a little too much. She only works hard when it is undeniably required, and has never really kept a stable job. Extroverted and excitable, she often tends to get carried away in the heat of moment, often leading to embarrassment or misfortune when Lei misses the opportunity to catch herself.
Her attention to situations and topics tend be fleeting. It is obvious she has some attention deficit disorder, but it seems to be kept in check under her own watch by copious application of methylin and its derivatives, a drug she has a massive stockpile of and likes to sell when her pockets feel light.
She’s not too heavily invested in the business of justice and the like, as exemplified by her propensity to commit nonviolent crimes like stealing and prescription drug dealing, but she does put in some effort if she feels somebody has been wronged. If it comes to protecting her friends or her (often ill gotten) possessions, the law be damned if it prevents her from acting. For some reason, she doesn’t seem to hold any long lasting friendships or have a large number of them, though.
Likes to decorate things.
Background:
Lei doesn’t really know where she was born, just that it was somewhere in Guangzhou, China. The first child of a peasant family, she managed to immigrate to America at the turn of the 20th century where her family set up a dry cleaning business in San Francisco like any typical industrious Chinese immigrant family would.
Now, naturally for such an excitable and fleeting person, doing laundry day in and day out was a bore for the budding Lau girl. Perhaps the only saving grace of the job was finding random cool things that people lost in the laundry, but that was small compensation. So when she encounter some weird Crimson Sky hijinks, it really put some excitement into her life. Some way or another, she came into her ability to visit her own personal realm, a little sunny private island.
At first, this was a complete bore to her because, well, it was a small island with only sand and ocean. Literally lots of tiny rock and water as far as the eye could see. Quickly enough however, she found that she was able to visit this place nearly anytime she wanted, anywhere, and be able to put and remove anything she wanted from this Robinson Crusoe-like island.
It was with this that she developed her penchant towards collecting things, from coins to trailer homes to more… unique things like main battle tanks and a Bofors 40mm anti-air machine gun down the line. Now, it was all good and fun having these things and decorating her own private realm like a Sim City game, but the scale of time in this small world doesn’t exactly match up with the Gregorian calendar. So when she fell asleep there one day in 1912, she returned the next day to find that the world was in the middle of WWI. Oops.
But of course, experiencing this, she learned a valuable lesson that she would never repeat again. Eventually Lei adapted, although not in the most responsible way using the anomaly to literally wait things out, sometimes months at a time. With time, she was also able to manipulate the space enough to bring it into the correct scale if she so wished. Before she knew it, it was the 21st century.
Powers:
For Lau, entering another realm granted her access to her own little dimension, a small five square kilometer island in the middle of nowhere. In this regard, it’s almost like a visit-able hammerspace, her own piece of reality that she can visit at any time during the night. During then, she can pop in it at any time and at any place, and leave at any time and arrive at any place she’s been in the past day, giving her the appearance of delayed teleportation. This also doubles as a very nice on-demand storage locker.
Nicely complementing this is her ability to instantly move non-stationary objects (with the occasional stationary exception) shorts distances in a manner actually consistent with teleporting. She can instantly displace objects in a 20ft radius without touching up to two tons(the weight of an average car). Directly touching an object, however, she can displace objects far heavier, with an increase in weight at 2 tons per second. Conveniently, the entrance to hammerspace qualifies as a short distance, allowing her to stockpile goods quite smoothly. In this manner, her major offensive capability is simply unleashing an absurdly large arsenal of conventional weaponry alongside some teleportation fun. Unfortunately, since Summer Beach Island is pretty much a night club, her only real ability to do anything during the day is her small areal teleporting.
Skills:
-Time Keeping. Lei pretty much has an internal clock. It’s pretty important to keep track of time.
-Dry Cleaning. Can’t forget your origins.
-Mechanical and Arms training. It’s good to know how to use the things you have that make things go boom boom.
-Languages. She speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. The three most important languages of all, of course.
Weapons: Varies. See Powers. Lei likes to carry a knife or handgun and scales up in response to situations.
Equipment: Varies. See Powers.
Other: Has a little thrift shop at the edge of town. Manned by understaffed, minimum wage college students, Lei is often not present.
