				Name: Crimson Justice, a.k.a. Fang Tao<br>Type: Masked Avenger<br>Wealth: Rich<br><br>Melodramatic Hook: His parents were killed by an unknown agency, and as the police never attempted to investigate, he now searches for his parents’ murderers.<br><br>Description: 5’ 11”, wears long, red, flowing garb, has a red “bandit” mask across his mouth and nose, dark-brown hair, green eyes.<br><br>History: Fang Tao was born to the owners of a fairly successful shipping trade company. Having ports dotted around China, they had a rather decent income, and thus were able to give their son a rather luxurious life. At a young age, Tao started in the ways of martial arts, particularly with the ways of the sword. His parents could afford medical coverage, so they did not mind. <br><br>One day, however, Tao’s parents decided that it would be a great business idea to move to Hong Kong and start business there in the port town. There would be competition, of course, but nothing they couldn’t handle. However, tragedy struck their first month of starting their business in the city; both of Tao’s parents were found dead in their office. Police were sent to investigate, but somehow, they could not find any leads, even after two years.<br><br>During that time, Tao did some inner searching. He found that he knew that the police could not handle the crime in the area, and that someone else who actually cared about the people would have to take down the low life criminals in the city. So, using the sword knowledge he gained from his martial arts training, as well as a gun bought with his parents’ inheritance, he vowed to bring to justice anyone who took advantage of the people, and also vowed to find his parents’ killers and bring them to justice; Crimson Justice.&nbsp; <br><br><br>Bod 8 (Tgh 9)<br>Chi 0<br>Mnd 6<br>Ref 7 (Agi 9)<br><br>Detective +10 (=15)<br>Guns +8 (=13)<br>Fix-It +2 (8) [Max 12]<br>Info/Science +2 (8)<br>Info/your choice +2 (8)<br>Info/your choice +2 (8)<br>Intimidation +5 (11) [Max 12]<br>Martial Arts +7 (=12)<br>Intrusion +4 (13)<br>Sabatoge +2 (9)<br><br>Lightning Reload<br>Eagle Eye<br><br>Desert Eagle .357 Magnum<br>4 ft. sword "Nighthunter"<br>

				Hopefully I got this right<br><br><strong>Name</strong>: Faith<br><strong>Type:</strong> Dallas Rocket<br><strong>Juncture</strong>: 2056<br><strong>Wealth</strong>: Poor<br><br><strong>Melodramatic Hook</strong>: They took my sister! Come hell or high water, I'm taking her back!<br><br><strong>Description:</strong> A picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/justafreak/2048681257812199medium.jpg) is worth a thousand words.<br><br><strong>Story:</strong> For most of her life, Faith was just an ordinary kid. That was until four years ago. She was just barely still a teenager, only a few months away from turning 20, when she met a guy. He seemed so perfect at the time, and always told her exactly what she wanted to hear. So when she found out that he was part of a new rebellion striking back at the 'man' she was easily coerced into becoming a part of it herself. (hey, she was still a teenager. The stereotypical angst and rebellious streak were still in full effect).<br><br>For the next two years, she spent most of her time as a courier, getting into and out of places that most people couldn't, hand delivering messages that were too important to send through other means. That all ended when a conflict between the two sides hit too close to home. Her parents just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and got hit by a few stray bullets as the Rockets and the Buro clashed. Her superiors tried to comfort her with the cliched "We all have to make sacrifices" speech, but Faith wouldn't have any of it. She was out. With both of her parents dead, there was no one left to care for her fifteen year old sister but her. That day she swore she'd make sure nothing happened to her.<br><br>So imagine Faith's horror when she learned that her sister, now 17, joined up with the Rockets 6 months ago. As much as Faith protested, her sister was stubborn. And people knew that the two were related. The family resemblance was uncanny. So when the little sister joined up, that raised some eyebrows within the Buro. In her short time with the Rockets, Faith had made some enemies who apparently had never heard the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger." Enemies who were capable of holding grudges.<br><br>They kidnapped Faith's sister in an effort to lure the woman out. And every time she got close, every time she thought she had a chance for rescue, they moved again. After tracking another lead, the trail lead somewhere she never thought possible. Somehow, she wound up back in time over half a century, before the nightmare she called the present ever happened. Was this a trick to get her out of their hair, or was her sister really brought back to this time? Only one way to find out...<br><br>Bod - 5 (Mov - 7)<br>Chi - 1 (For - 4)<br>Mind - 7<br>Ref - 8<br><br><strong>Skills</strong><em>(Attrib) + Rank(Final Value)</em><br>Intrusion(Agl) +4(12)<br>Martial Arts(Agl) +5(10)<br>Deceit(Cha) +6(13)<br>Info(The Buro)(Int) +6(13)<br>Info(Texas History)(Int) +5(12)<br>Driving (Dex) +7(13)<br>Guns(Dex) +8(13)<br>Sabotage(Dex) +4(13)<br>Seduction(Cha) +5(12)<br><br><br><br><strong>Schticks</strong><br>Both Guns Blazing<br>Hair Trigger Neck Hairs<br>Lightning Reload<br>Death-O-Rama<br><br><strong>Weaponry</strong><br>2x Colt 1911A<br>Survival Knife<br><br>
