Player Name: Solar, Soleil, Lexi, or any of my characters' names/aliases
Character: China
Name: Wang Yao
Age: 26
Affiliation: AFN
Occupation and/or Rank: Head of the Division of Exploration and Discovery, Major
Birthplace: New Beijing (A sub-settlement of the colony ASIA-3)
Appearance: Yao stands about 169cm (5'5") and has dark brown eyes and medium-long black hair that he normally keeps tied back in a pony tail. When not in his regulation AFN uniform, he is usually wearing a dark green kung fu gi with sleeves that are way too long for him (this supposedly belonged to his biological father).
Personality: Yao is usually pretty outgoing and friendly with anyone he meets. He has a passion for the sciences, especially natural sciences like biology and chemistry. As a child and early teen, he was often caught experimenting with cloning and genetics (science has advanced to the point where these skills are taught at the elementary and high school levels), trying to create "cute pets." Yao also has a love for food and cooking and often carries around random cooking utensils on his person.
AU History: Yao was born in New Beijing, a settlement in the colony of ASIA-3 (Asianic System of Inhabited Asteroids). His father died in a mining accident just weeks before his birth, leaving his mother, Wang Kailan, a widow and new mother with very few options. For the next few years, Kailan was forced to work for a meager wage as a cook in a run-down tea house. Yao often accompanied his mother to work, unable to afford childcare; this is where he picked up his cooking skills. You see, even with the poor quality ingredients she was given to work with, Kailan could make just about anything not only edible, but down right delicious, especially noodles.
Then one day, Kailan found herself infatuated with another man, the two began to see each other frequently, leaving Yao at the man’s home with his son, Kiku, whom was very close to his age. Kiku was very quiet and reserved towards Yao in the beginning, despite his numerous attempts to get Kiku to open up to him.
Then one day, Yao was tinkering with a new molecular homogenizer of his own design, trying to get it to work properly, when Kiku spoke to him unprompted for the first time! They now had a common interest that brought the two would-be brothers closer than any thought possible. This relationship continued to grow as their parents did eventually wed and they officially became brothers.
Yao and Kiku continued to work closely together throughout school and after when they both landed jobs working for the AFN. Together, the brothers became an unstoppable duo that quickly earned them the attention of the higher-ups. Life seemed perfect for Yao, until one day, they were both offered a chance to be promoted the Head of the Division of Exploration and Discovery, but only one of them could get the job.
They were both to submit their own projects, and Yao set to work on his own, but he knew his knowledge in machinery and engineering was limited compared to Kiku’s, so he played to his strengths in programming and genetics. Still Yao knew that Kiku’s project, whatever it was, would most likely be seen as more valuable to the AFN.
Yao was thinking of sabotaging his brother’s project, but just as he was about to act on his negative feelings, his eyes landed on an old photograph of the two as children and Yao knew he couldn’t bare to hurt his brother. The day to present their work arrived and Kiku went first. Yao planned to bow out respectfully after Kiku had presented his invention, when suddenly, all hell broke loose. Alarms started to go off, and everything seemed like a blur. By the time Yao came too, he was being congratulated on his promotion and Kiku was no where to be seen.
By the time Yao’s learned on Kiku’s attempted hacking and subsequent arrest, Kiku had already broken out and fled without a trace. To this day, Yao is still unsure who to believe regarding the incident, but keeps this uncertainty to himself.
Equipment: In addition to the AFN standard issue hand gun, Yao will usually have one or two random cooking utensils (most often an iron ladle and a laser knife) somewhere on his person. These are usually used when he gets hungry (like during long meetings), but he won't think twice about using said instruments as weapons.
Note~ I'll try to post some additional pics of Yao when I get around to drawing them.
