[b]Hair Color:[/b] Black [b]Eye Color:[/b] Emerald Green [b]Appearance:[/b] Tao looks like a short Korean man. His eyes appear to be an owl and he tends to stare. He dresses in very nice clothes, normally neo-goth, dark colors normally black when he is out and white when he is in the clinic. He has long hair braided into a single braid that goes to his neck (was cut when his family disowned him). His hair is black with a splash of red. He tends to wear a hood covering his head as his eyes and his habit of staring right threw you makes people uncomfortable(His nurse told him this many times) when he is out. He will wear a filter mask to keep the smog out of his lungs. [b]Mutation Marker(s):[/b] Y.S.G Holder He has the wings of a snow owl that fold to his sides. He has eyes with larger Irises and abnormal emerald green in color. [b]Personality:[/b] Tao is a very driven and intelligent man. Has watched his world come apart due to unfortunate circumstances. One botched operation and he was abandoned by his family and his practice collapsed. Now his practice is under the control of the gang. In general, Tao likes people and does not care where they come from oR what they do. This is tempered with the understanding that some people are just cruel jerks. Tao can also be a bit gruff (Like House) when overly tired or stressed. He can be overly sure of himself (Chen from Remo Williams). Like many doctors, he thinks he is the best one to practice medicine, In social situations, he tends to sit back and watch. He is worried that someone will recognize him and bring up his shame and failures. He can be charming and polite knowing social estimates from his upbringing. In combat, he is not going to storm a building while shots are being fired at him with a compelling reason. He is more likely to point the gun in the air and pull the trigger to be a noise make and keep people's heads down when using live rounds. He prefers non-lethal rounds and hates flechette rounds. He will fight when he needs to and fights best when he is defending others. He believes he is the best cyber surgeon in Neo-Tokyo. He likes to complain that the gang is putting him out of business and how much it is costing him to fix all these people up. He claims he would be profitable if he did not do as much charity work. His clinic would not have survived without the gang. He has a love/hate relationship with the bookies two blocks away. He wants to burn the place down to get it out of the area, but it calls to him (He is in recovery).

He is coming into his magic, mostly due to finances and training. He uses his magical abilities to help with his healing. [b]Flaws:[/b] Tao is so focused on his thoughts. This means he misses social clues. Tao likes to bet on sports and builds analytic models which mostly have some flaws.

The best schools teachers, tutors, and servants to raise him. His parents to busy in their own lives to pay much attention to him. The one place he found acceptance and reward was in academics. When he did well his parents noticed him. He still prefers books to datapads and will tend to have something to read with him. He ended up graduating high school and then college early, going to medical school. He traveled out of Neo-Tokyo to study cyber modifications as an advanced residency. Things were going well for him till he performed surgery on one of the J.F. Leader’s daughters. It was a cybernetic enhancement to her left leg. There was an unnoticed genetic issue that he had not scanned for. With government pressure being applied, his practice tanked. This is when he started gambling trying to make enough money to rebuild. Six months later is when the gang found him. The gang bought his services for the price of his gambling debts. He ended up in a building in Sakoshita that the gang has influence over. His business became late-night don’t ask don’t tell surgeries, replacing damaged limbs, caring for sick prostitutes, gang members, addicts, runaways, and people in trouble. In his clinic, there is a strict no-violence rule. He tries to help get people off the street and into better lives. Tao’s healing powers were discovered as he was practicing the family’s version of Buddism. It is a mix of Tai Chi and different forms of meditation. Healing magic has come easy to him and like all magic, there is a cost associated with it. Normally being tired and hungry after using it. He hopes to find a teacher to help him learn some additional spells at some time. [/indent][/hider][/cell][/row][/table][/hider]
