[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Qing Yuan is the son of Chinese immigrants.

His father Bo Wen runs the Liu Fix-it workshop which he operates his business out of.  Qing Yuan is a handyman by trade/s.  A combined electrician, plumber, carpenter and builder who is not above gardening and painting gigs.  He works out of his van, but still uses his father's shop as a 'brick-and-mortar' location, and fills in when his own business is quiet.  This allows him to also check in on Bo Wen, a priority since they lost his wife and Qing Yuan's mother Liwei under less than peaceful circumstances.

One afternoon, when Bo Wen had closed the shop to do a bank run, a local gang looked to exploit the opportunity with the proprietor being off site.  Liwei heard movement in the store, mistaking it for her husband's return.  And walking into the shop, from the attached living quarters, stumbled upon a site she was never meant to see.

She would not live to tell neither husband nor son what she had seen.

But she needn't say a word either.  Both Bo Wen and Qing Yuan were well aware who would have moved on the shop.  After all, they knew their community best, their neighbours, as well as the delinquent and criminal element.

After a few well placed questions led him in the right directions, he would never again have to worry about somebody else meeting his mother's fate from the same hands.  And he was all the stronger for it.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT][color=tomato][b][u]Chi Manipulation and Extraction[/u][/b][/color] - Qing Yuan has full control of his own chi, as well as any and all chi he has absorbed into his being.  This can take simple forms such as the diversion of chi to localised areas of his person, greatly increasing their strength or durability, but it also has healing properties.  It can latently ward off poisons and toxins, and with focused diversion can allow him to push through injuries and wounds.  With concentration chi can even be focused to the point of a warming glow.

He has little control over chi extraction.  It is an all-or-none proposition, and extracting another's chi kills them.  There is no 'siphoning out a little'.

[color=tomato][b][u]Martial artist[/u][/b][/color] - From a young age, Qing Yuan has learned martial arts from his father, and, later from other relatives who had emigrated from the old country to the city after he'd surpassed Bo Wen's not inconsiderable knowledge.  His 'uncle' Xiaolin was teaching him 'kung fu' for a while, leaving Qing Yuan curious about what exactly he was learning.  Upon asking "So what is it?  Wing Chun?  Northern Shaolin?  Southern?  His 'uncle' Xiaolin could only nod and say 'Yes.  Kung fu.'

Apparently Qing Yuan has been learning a mismash of various priciples of numerous types of martial arts passed down verbally from those of numerous regions - united under the blanket term 'kung fu'.

[color=tomato][b][u]Empathy to Energy Manipulators and Chi abnormality[/u][/b][/color] - Due to being something of an energy manipulator himself, Qing Yuan can recognise that power in others.  Likewise, his extrasensory grasp on life force via chi can give him a leg up on recognising if others are being manipulated by outside forces.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Qing Yuan does not view himself as a hero at all.

He's not so deluded as to not realise that 'heroes don't kill', and at the center of his powers is the very ability to take life.  'Hero' isn't really his calling.

He's a community minded man who views himself as having 'plucked a few weeds from the garden'.

As a killer, who's not an openly registered hero, he is very guarded and compartmentalises that side of his life.

But with the mask off he is very extroverted, a pleasant man who is well known and liked in his community.  If he hasn't fixed somebody's something-or-another, then they probably know somebody who has.  And if they're close neighbours... probably at some point free of charge.

He's not a 'Punisher' though.  He just has firm limits in his beliefs as to who could actually be rehabilitated.  Like many children of immigrants he has had some very conservative political notions baked in.

And some of his own ideas regarding worthiness and 'a waste of life'.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Qing Yuan is just looking to make his community a better place for himself and those he knows to live in.

Whether he does that by 'pulling a few more weeds' or by just living his regular life, fixing people's problems as they arise, the only thing that could decide that is the criminal element.  His is a reactive presence.  He doesn't go out patroling the city, looking for criminals to kill.

But crime in Calder City looks like it doesn't know well enough to leave his neighbourhood alone.
