<strong>Wang Xiaoxing</strong>- Biographical Data and Sheet<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body">BEFORE, Wang Xiaoxing was a smart girl from a family in the rural Sezhuan province of China, one of the girls not smothered by the One Child policy because of the allowances made for her Party-member grandfather.  She was never allowed to forget this when she was growing up, and to a measure she even thrived beneath the pressure.  When it was discovered just how smart she was, her family's connections ensured she got out of her place and into a decent school; Xiaoxing excelled there, even into University, and was expected to be a credit to her family and a prize for her family's continued fortune.  Even she expected a worthwhile life in service, and thought little more than that; it was for honor and esteem, and to thank the generations that had given her such gifts, that she would devote herself.<br/><br/>BUT THEN, in the midst of wealth and prosperity, she saw something she was not meant to see.  It was easy to blind herself to what life was for the people on the other side of the Party's autocracy; she was a product of its successes, not its infinitely-recursing compromises.  Wishing to fully understand the world she lived in, she began dabbling in things that were not wise for an up-and-coming young student to look into-- and her computer science degree began informing her of the cruelties and the terrible human rights violations visited upon her fellow Chinese on an all-too-frequent basis.  The traditional schooling she'd had growing up could not justify these things.  Thus, she quietly began working in connection with dissidents-- too closely, ultimately, for she involved herself in a protest monitored by the Party.<br/><br/>THINGS WERE AT THEIR DARKEST when the bag was pulled off of her head.  Xiaoxing didn't remember being arrested very clearly-- there was tear gas, and clubs, and she was not prepared-- but she knew her interrogators knew who she was and enough to incriminate her on whatever charges they pleased.  But it was not her own fate that bothered her, or the humiliation of her family that would surely follow her release: it was her disgust with her country and her people.  They were wrong.  Deeply wrong.  Her interrogators could do with her what they liked, but they would at least be made aware of their wrongdoing and repent for the future.<br/><br/>AND THEN something happened that she did not expect: her jailors listened.  They heard her, truly.  They wept to realize their sins against their fellow human beings, and they released her and all the others they had captured in that raid.  She wondered why, for a long time, until they made it outside the compound and she realized the strange golden light about her was not a trick of her interrogators.  SHE was that light.<br/><br/>NOW, Xiaoxing continues what she began in that prison cell.  She knows better than to confront the Party directly; the best she can do is sabotage their networks and undermine the faith that the public has in their ability to control (and enforce their control) the lives of the many.  Her hacking comes to her faster and more brilliantly than ever before, and she knows how to wring guilt, adoration, fear, or anger out of anything but the coldest of hearts.  She has become aware that the Party is not the only authority in China, and is distantly aware that there are things outside of the government that worry what she might do, but for now she keeps her revolution working.  The Wall wasn't built in a day, after all.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Image + Motifs</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j88/zavaelduauram/xiaoxing_zpsbd0449ef.jpg)<br/>APPEARANCE<br/>Xiaoxing is physically unassuming-- a young Chinese woman of slim build, five-foot-two, with long, straight coal-black hair that she tends to wear down.  First impressions lie, in her case; anyone who speaks with her at length is almost inevitably struck by a natural smoothness, capable of conversing engagingly on anything from state-of-the-art computer  technology to the Confucian classics.  When speaking outside of her native Mandarin, the only remnant of her accent is a hint of sing-song quality to her speech.<br/><br/>INSTINCTS<br/>Always carry a device on me.<br/>Meditate, at least once a day.<br/>Honor the ordained.<br/><br/>BELIEFS<br/>I must undermine the corrupt government of China by searching for and exposing its secrets.<br/>Humans should treat one another well; I must help those who cannot help themselves with my skills.<br/>I cannot be a singular phenomenon, so I must discover what I am and if there are others like me.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Character Sheet</div><div class="spoiler_body">NAME: <strong>Wang Xiaoxing</strong><br/>MOTIVATION:  Depose the cruel autocracy ruling Mainland China.<br/>CASTE: Zenith<br/>ANIMA: A dark-haired goddess in white robes with three faces and a thousand arms, moving in ritual dance.<br/><br/><br/>Str 2      Cha 3      Per 3<br/>Dex 5   Man 5      Int 4<br/>Sta 2   App 2      Wit 3<br/><br/><br/>Firearms 1, *Martial Arts 5, Melee 2, Thrown, War 1<br/>*Integrity 3, *Performance 5, *Presence 3, *Resistance 3, *Survival 1<br/>Craft 1, Investigation 3, *Lore 5, Medicine 1, Occult 1<br/>Athletics 1, *Awareness 5, Dodge 3, *Larceny 5, Stealth 3<br/>Bureaucracy 1, Linguistics 5, Drive, Sail, *Socialize 5<br/><br/>Crafts: Air<br/>Language Groups: Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese), Anglo-Frisian (English, Scots, Frisian), Japonic (Japanese, Ryukan), Korean, Western Iberian (Spanish Portuguese), East Slavic (Russian, Belorussian, Ukranian)<br/><br/>Martial Arts (Using Solar Hero Form) +3<br/>Performance (Rabble-rousing) +3<br/>Lore (l33t Hax) +1<br/>Awareness (Sixth Sense) +1<br/>Larceny (Forgery) +1 <br/><br/><br/>Cult 1 - Across the country, persons afraid or simply unable to take up her cause offer prayers for her.  Those who have had loved ones freed by her work pray <em>to</em> her.  She wouldn't be terribly happy if she found out about it;
