A Young Chinese male who has a few different appearances. Depending on where he is depends on whether he looks like a ganger or a corp suit. He hangs with the Shao-Lun Skulls Go-Gang in his spare time and it was through Tai-Pan the now gang leader that Chi-Sao managed to make enough of an impression to attract Lun-Zao, a Triad Lieutenant. Over the past couple of months, Chi-Sao has been doing a few hits on other organised crime syndicates as he has been recognised for his remarkable ability with a pistol.

Standing at 5'5" tall and weighing in at a low 74.43kg, Chi-Sao has black cropped short hair on top with a long tail down to the middle of his back. He has a small 1" scar on his cheek under his left eye. He has dark green eyes. He is of slender build which makes a lot of people underestimate him (especially as he is only 18 years old).

Description:

Young Chinese man early 20’s. Well toned physique. Always clean-shaven. Loyal, reliable and trustworthy are what he would hope the words his friends use; and mad psychopathic motherfucker are probably what his enemies use!

History:

Born, bread & raised in China till the age of 8. From an early age, Leung Boh and his family had been moving from one residence in China to another. This was because his father was on the run continuously from the police has he was part of a Triad Gang based in the Shaanxi region. After much running with his family, in 2037 at the age of 5, Leung Boh’s father was killed in a “business meeting”. With just his mother left in his life, she took him elsewhere in China. In 2038, Yung Tao met a new man, an American. After about a month of courting, things eventually got serious and it seemed as though Yung Tao had finally let go of the old ways. Widowed but desperate to get on with her life, she eventually fell in love with this man. Alex Cambridge soon wanted to leave to go back home, but his love for Yung Tao tied him down. In 2039, Leung Boh found himself with a new father after Alex wed his mother. With this, they left China, never to return as a family. The city he would now live in was Seattle. With a fortunate turn of events in Leung’s life, it looked for once that his family could have a future. And it did, for a while. Leung had to learn English, this was hard at first, but eventually with a private tutor and aid from a local Chinese school, he soon picked it up.

After a while, he got settled into his new family. Though he loved his mother dearly, he still found it hard to get to grips with that fact that his father had changed and was not even oriental. By the age of 11, he had learnt all the basic things an 11-year-old would know and from there he went to high school.

His hobbies included music. His first instrument: the panpipes. Playing this he had learnt somewhat of being able to focus in a single task, as complex as it is to play, it came quite well and natural to Leung but he quit practising after a year. He also had kept part of his heritage by taking up Kung Fu at the age of 12, a traditional part of any child’s life back in China. His sifu (instructor) was the only real male Chinese figure in his life after his father’s death. Leung Boh would spend many an hour talking about techniques, life, theories and stories of his home country. Myth and magic came into his life a lot during this time. It was through the teachings of Kysumu (or “Ranseé” as he preferred to be called) that he found his inner magical strength.

Kysumu turned up when he was 12 and spoke to Yung Tao like old friends, offering to train Leung. Before this time, Yung Tao worked as a seamstress, but after Kysumu turned up, she stopped working. (Leung suspects he was supporting her, but does not know why).

Though Leung always believed he could focus and meditate with extreme precision, it was only through his teachings that brought him close to using magic and better his own skill in his art and to improve his physical form. After the first year of training, Kysumu started to teach him how to use traditional ranged weapons. These included a simple bow and specialist throwing weapons: namely shrunken’s. Kysumu also taught the ways of warrior and of shadow. Leung however was always also interested in movies and loved watching gunfights and watching hero’s blast their way to victory. It was at this point that Leung began to learn how to use a pistol, and in this he excelled! His first ever gun was the Streetline Special. This was just the right size for a 12 year old to use and be taught with. Kysumu’s teachings gave him great responsibility and he only practised within sight of his instructor; not only out of utter respect but also as he was someone to turn to and was always there for him.

By the age of 15, Leung Boh, though he didn't realise it could already out shoot the average shadowrunner. He was doing well at school and he had made many friends. However the tides were about to turn.

In 2047, Alex was arrested for two murders, intent to kill, and four cases of manslaughter. Others charges included: weapons smuggling, racketeering, distribution of illegal substances and fraud. After a three-month high profile trial, he was sentenced to two life sentences with no parole.

When this occurred, Yung Tao had a nervous breakdown and never really recovered. Money ran out quick as it was spent on getting private care. Soon money was at an all time low. This year Leung had finally finished Schoolwork but his studies had been seriously affected by his mother’s mental illness. He left school never to go to collage, even though he knew he wanted to, and he knew his mother would have wanted him to. But after this time, she needed more care, and there simply was not enough money to last much longer. Leung resorted to taking to the streets, and this was where he adopted the name of Chi-Sao (or "Sticky Hands"; a sparring manuever in Kung-Fu). It was at this time when he fell in with the Shao-Lun Skulls. Immediately they accepted him when he shot one of the other gangers guns out of his hands when they threatened him. Calmly he said he wanted to chill out with them, shoot drek and make as much nuyen as possible. With the right attitude, he blended well into his new buddies and his string of crimes gained some decent wedge to support his mother. As far as she was concerned, we worked in a bar in Downtown; somewhere she will never go.

After six months, the pay things started running dry. A recent gang brawl meant they had to lie low for a couple of months. Tai-Pan, another ganger found out that together they could start running small high-pay errands every now and then for a couple of grunts at a Dance Club in Bellevue. As Chi-Sao had to help pay for his mothers private care, he had no real choice. Soon, after proving he could handle his own rather well in the street running these “errands”, he found himself doing more jobs that paid better and better. These included running packages of which he knew not of their contents. He suspected drugs or BTL’s but didn’t inquire, as it would risk him losing the money he so needed for his Mum.

Times a year ago were tough on Chi-Sao. He was getting more and more desperate and he was told that if he wanted to keep up with professionals the best thing for a gun-fighter like him would be to get some cyberware.
It was at 17 when Lun-Tzao approached him, and when he did for the first time, he made sure they were alone. For he had been following Chi-Sao and watching his skill with a pistol. When he caught Chi-Sao unwares and unarmed, an offer was made. To do 5 runs over the course of 5 months, payment would be an upfront payment of cybersurgery where he would be given a smartlink and plastic bone lacing. He would get 1,000 for the first 4 months and 6,000 after the final run.
Although he knew his sifu would be angry at the introduction of cyberware, he needed the cash and this was more than he had ever seen!

After the mods were installed, Chi-Sao realised the cost of his mistake had made. He had lost some of the edge that he had, as if it had faded or its achievement was just beyond a veil. Although he loves his Smartlink for its obvious uses, he curses is it as he would still just do with goggles and suffer their glitches.

The missions themselves seemed easy and his targets names and who they were concerned him not. Each one he would get by looking for a column in the Seattle Times and Everret Bullitinon a Monday or Thursday titled "Wanted for Sale". The price for whatever was being sold was 8,888 increasing by one nuyen per mission. Upon reading this, Lun-Tzao would meet him in a place decerned and time decerned at the previous meeting. This is how Chi-Sao still gets some missions from Lun-Tzao and he always checks the paper (though mostly just electronically). Number at game start is 8,910

For Chi-Sao to get hold of Lun-Tzao, he simply has to do his dry cleaning at "The Dragon Rising" and a column will most likely tomorrows paper. The reasons for such secrecy become apparent.

In 2049, more complications were introduced to Leung’s life. Yung Tao started showing the first symptoms of Cushing’s Disorder. This started with increased tiredness and thirst, which got progressively worse for about six months. After this time, Kysumu came to visit after my constant absences and took Yung Tao to hospital where she was diagnosed. It became apparent then that Cushing’s disorder is a degenerative genetic disorder that puts the hypothalamus gland into overdrive. This causes constant thirst and leaves the patient with no energy. The body starts to consume itself by turning essential fats and acids into proteins. The only treatment that could help is advanced nanotech procedures. This however would be extremely expensive costing millions. She is however getting progressively worse and the doctors suspect that by 2052 even that treatment will not work.

Due to this additional complication, a more qualified maid had to be hired. As it turned out, Leung hired an old school friend to do this job. Her name is Johanna Bridge, a 20-year-old Caucasian human; she has good medical qualifications. There has been no sexual relationship between Johanna and Leung.

By 2050, he had left his job behind him, and found himself emerged in a love that some people would call the life of a “Shadowrunner”.

Before he got together with the team Jacob Baker sorted him with, Leung Boh had been doing some “deliveries” for Lun-Tzao in the Fort Lewis area. On a few occasions, he had met the Tong Boss, not directly, but enough to know that something was wrong. Through investigation he found out that the Tong Boss was actually a Vampire and that he was living off the state or private health donations that vampires can receive. Not sure what to think of this, he followed the Tong on a few occasions only to find out that he had been killing (meta)humans, mostly his criminal opposition. Further research (and counsel with Kysumu) told him that this Tong Boss was actually a Nosferatu meta-variant vampire, one of the REALLY nasty Chinese hopping vampires.

Upon approaching the Lun-Tzao with this information, he arranged (with Chi-Sao's help and research) a challenge and a scuffle broke out. The Tong was destroyed but only Leung, Lun-Tzao and three others survived our encounter. If it was not for Kysumu’s directions, the Tong would not have been destroyed.

These actions are completely against to code of the triads, but this is the way it had to be done. If the Lieutenants had tried to take it up the chain of command properly, they would have probably been killed. The right thing was done. However, if for any reason the Triad’s ever find out what Leung Boh and the other survivors did, god forbid the repercussions.

Out of those survivors, Lun-Tzao a Lieutenant now in the Green Lotus Triad in Everrett is one of them. He too shares this dark secret.

This leads up to present day, where he still has to look after his mother in what is now his own home. They have a maid, and the payment needed to keep her is 10,000¥ a month, which includes food for his mother and rent. Leung Boh or “Chi-Sao” as he is referred to on the streets now looks out more for himself and enjoys the danger of the shadows. Though he plays for personal wealth, he uses that to support his family but obviously to further his own needs and advancements within his career. He has two homes, one for his family and the other as hideout/ storage for all his “goods”.
