Physical Characteristics

Build and Skin Colour: Xiang is typically skinny for a person of the Asian sub-race, but retains muscle gained from his previous service within the Nepleslian Army. His skin is criss-crossed with old scars, and somewhat tanned from hours in the company tanning room.
Facial Features and Eye Colour: His right cybernetic eye is a different color than his natural one. Therefore, it would shock a person to see a Nepleslian with a pair of black and blue eyes.
Hair Colour and Style: His hair is a rather glossy black color with small streaks of grey appearing from the deep and dark recesses of old age. His hair is worn shoulder-length and tied back into a ponytail, with his bangs split and covering the sides of his face.

Distinguishing Features: Besides the immense amount of scarring, the only distinguishing feature of Xiang is the Chinese character for "Love" tattoed onto his left bicep.


Psychological Characteristics

Personality:
Xiang is best remembered for his stoic attitude towards the challenges that he faces in life. However, there is a deeply troubled side to this man. Well, not really trouble. More like a case of him not getting over the ravaging effects of puberty that plagued him once. He has a tendency to stutter and crack his knuckles and neck while under stress, and is prone to daydreaming. Xiang is also known to browse the local lingerie shops, and is best renowned for his "Im browsing for my wife" excuse. Being a former Marine in the Nepleslian Empire, Xiang has a natural tendency towards violence and swearing, but does his best to control it through drowning himself in his work and vodka.

Likes: Vodka, Women, Anime, Guns, Swords
Dislikes: Religion, Pandas, Carrots
Goals: To Develop a Starship for the Nepleslian Empire


History

Xiang was born to a single Chinese mother, doing her best to raise him and manage a small restaurant on Nepleslia. She intended on raising a successful business man and cook, but little did she know that the Nepleslian Marines were looking for new recruits. At the age of 19, he braved the bloody birth canal known to many Nepleslian Marines as boot camp. On his way home, his mother died in a tragic fire that took the restaurant they both worked and lived in for his entire life. Working as a mechanic and technician in the Marines, he was injured in a non-combat related explosion, with shrapnel taking out his right eye. Years later, Xiang moved up the ranks, serving as a Master Sergeant before the rank system was changed by the higher-ups. His enhanced cybernetic eye provided him with the most excellent tool for precision maintenance. He became known as the "Unofficial Armorer" by a few close Marines, and frequently did repais on weapons and power suits on request. At the age of 35, he left the Marines, spending 5 years dicking around from odd-job to odd-job, and spent four more years as a commercial mechanic for civilian weapons. On his 45th birthday, Xiang applied for a developer's position at the fledgling NAM Company, and submitted his first weapons design.


Skills

Fighting and Physical: Xiang is a former Marine, which means he has the basic training associated with the usage of Pistols, Rifles and Submachine guns. Due to his past experiences as a Mechanic Technician, he is intimately farmiliar with the operations of most firearms. As for Power Armor, he is still learning on how it all operates. Physically, he is able to run a straight three mile without tiring, and is able to lift a decent amount of weight for his age group.

Maintenance and Repair: As a former Marine Technician, Xiang is able to perform maintenance on most weapons systems and a few Power Armor models. Due to his cybernetic enhanced eye, Xiang's precision-work is still remembered by his Marine buddies who would gladly have him work on their weapons rather than some armorer.

Engineering: His field of Engineering is Weapons Engineering, taught to him under the apprenticeship of a Civilian Weapon's Gunsmith. He helped develop a new system of bolt-action rifles that used a larger claw-extractor, improving the feeding system in most rifles. However, this proved to be rather expensive, and was rejected by numerous manufacturers. From his line of work, he is able to design weapons based off of original ones, identifying key weaknesses in design and being able to strengthen them.

Cooking: Xiang, the son of a Chinese chef is able to cook basic foods such as rice, steak, eggs, etc. He is prone to burning ramen noodles and cannot cook fancy dishes to save his life. As a kid, he used to make the best jelly sandwhiches for himself, and was regularly beaten up as a child for his sandwhiches. Because of this, he has a certain dislike for any form of sandwhich.

Communications: Although Xiang is the son of a Chinese family, he is proficient in speaking standard Mandarin Chinese to only a certain degree. Because of his non-English background, his teachers in school stressed the importance of the English language harder on him than any other student, leading to him having a good degree of communications skills with others; able to talk his way into and out of a conversation with minimal feelings hurt.

Demolitions:
As a delinquent, he made his first crude grenade; a large iron cylinder with shrapnel surrounding an explosive charge set in the middle, all sealed off and ready to go. Unfortunately, the police on Nepleslia caught wind of this, and detained him and his creation. Now, he hopes to perfect designs for new grenades that are written into his notepad, grenades that can explode at certain distances/heights, etc.

Physical: During his teen years, he picked up a habit of jogging, to a point where if he threw up during jogging, that meant his limit was reached and that he'd stop. Because of this, Xiang remains a predominately skinny guy. While in the Marines, he also caught wind of weight lifting for a short while, until his time in the service was spent up.
