Llayne's Characters - Zeng Wei Marshall

Zeng Wei Marshall

Physical description

Z was always large, and years of training and his bionic upgrades have turned him into a power house. His black hair is just short enough to keep it out of his eyes when he fights. His grey-green eyes are hard and his knuckles scarred from multiple battles.

The Knights all wear white leather vests, but Z's is unique because it has a hood. Predominantly white, the shoulders and and zippers are black, serving to highlight and outline the cut of the vest. The interior of the hood and the laces on the front of the vest are dark red, and a series of predominately red Knight Errant patches adorn the back and various other points.

Story

High Concept

Aspect: Bionic Biker

Z was experimented on by the government, his strength and resistance enhanced greatly. He eventually escaped, but was too ashamed of his earlier mistakes to return to the school. He took up with a vigilante motorcycle club known as the Knights Errant, who chose to fight back against the criminal gangs. Z always struggled with the 'pacifist' nature of the Master's teachings, and relished the opportunity to do some good. As far as the cops are concerned however, the Knights are just another gang.

Invoke: for a bonus when his greater than human speed or strength would be a factor, for knowledge about the various gangs in the city, or when the reputation of the Knights Errant carries some weight.

Compel: to have the cops go after him like he was a common criminal biker, to have the government look for him to retrieve their 'merchandise' to have his bionics short out or overload at a crucial moment.

Trouble

Aspect: Errant Ways

Z likes to think of himself as a Big Damn Hero. He rarely misses the opportunity to help people in danger. This has gotten him in trouble on multiple occassions. He found a home with the Knights Errant who shared a similar code... they wouldn't stand by and let the gangs ruin the city. They even wore white leather vests with red markings to stand out... those this make sit easy for the gangs to single them out.

Invoke: For a social bonus in areas where the Knights reputation is good, to call upon the other Knights for aid.

Compel: to have him get in over his head while trying to help people, to have the gangs recognize him and come after him.

Call to Action

Aspect: Punches over Proverbs

Z loved training at the academy, but he enjoyed the physical training far more than the mental lessons and philosophical discussions. He quickly grows frustrated and quickly resorts to violence. This is what happened when the Master sent Kyle (#1 pupil?) out to rescue a friend's daughter. Z followed, started a fight and almost messed everything up. Kyle was able to save the daughter, but Z was gravely wounded, and later picked up by the government for their experiments.

While the Star Wars Defense System was publicly announced, it wasn’t the first of President Reagan’s initiatives that was inspired by popular media. Initiated as soon as he took office, Project 00 was his attempt at creating bionic super soldiers. Initial test subjects came from the population that wouldn’t be missed, but many of their bodies were unable to handle the bionics while others weren’t willing to serve the government and fled. (like Z) Further tests were conducted on soldiers with proven loyalty.

Invoke: For a bonus when resulting to violence, as a bonus when taking quick action.

Compel: To have Z's impatience get the better of him, or to have his lack of philosophical knowledge hinder him.

===War Story===t Aspect: ????

Z met Nikki before he actually ever met her.

He was hunting down a group of Necromancers... a gang that peddled a harsh deviant formula of meth that earned the streetname 'deth'. He was sneaking into their den but they heard him coming and made a break for it. When he ran back outside to chase them down, his saw a grungy little slip of a girl trying to steal the Red Hare. She got away before he could grab her, and he was forced to jack a nearby muscle car and chase her down. The girl was good and the Red Hare a powerful bike. Z stayed on her tail for a while be he really didn't stand a chance. she got away, and so did the Necromancers.

Z was pissed, knowing he'd probably never have a bike that good again. He went back to the school to regroup and lick his wounds, when Kyle introduced him to one of their newest students... who just happened to be the grungy little girl who stole his bike.
