[INDENT][INDENT][i]Shang was raised to become a deadly assassin by his father, the immortal crimelord and sorcerer Fu Manchu. Feeling lessons from various masters were not enough, the boy was also subjected to alchemy and a virtual reality feed of techniques and styles while he slept. However, Shang Chi became aware of his father's evil and faked his death after his first assignment. He then began to attack various elements of his father's criminal empire and allied himself with his father's enemy, Denis Nayland Smith. In retaliation, Fu Manchu sent a number of assassins to kill him. 

His travels led him to meet a number of other martial artists and superheroes around the world: he met his rival, Cat and teamed up with Iron Fist, Jack of Hearts and White Tiger to take down the Corporation.After years of playing at "games of deceit and death", Shang-Chi retired from the espionage world.[/i]

Further, going along with this, I plan to follow up with Shang’s travels around the world as well as his encounters with assassins sent by his father. This would also be fairly action packed, with Shang very much questioning the nature of the world around him. That with so much violence and death, where would it all eventually lead? What would the world become?This particular character is the one that is going to be more or less following his own story throughout the RP but, crossovers are welcomed. Just be sure to PM me.[/indent][/indent]

[*]Essentially, his age was determined through Bruce Lee’s age in Way of the Dragon, which was about 31. I picked this, as I’d say it was about Lee’s prime, and, Shang-Chi, in earlier incarnations, was obviously based on him, thus making him the Bruce Lee of the superhero community’s Martial Artists.

Other notes will be taken as determined.[/i][/indent][/indent]
