Character Information

Summary

A mage burned by her own allies, sent packing across the sea and setting up shop in a city she doesn't know.

Ah. And she's lost her arm, eyes, and half her magical power. Some would call it inauspicious as a start. But Yue considers herself to have been born under a lucky star.

Goals

• Don't die.
• Rediscover what magic is.
• Cleanse her aura of the taint left by the previous owner of her arm and eyes.

Background

The daughter of rich parents, Yue isn't her given name - but the old one is burned. Perhaps even literally - the damage of breaking her oaths was extensive.

Initiated into the Triad at an early age, Lingchi was a faithful servant and a faithful mage until a breach of her trust and an insult that went too far. Her attempts at retaliation were ineffective, and quickly her family paid the price for her insolence.

The Triad uses magical tattoos to keep their people loyal - and Yue was forced to take more bindings than most. Her magic, her sight, her physical strength, all bound up in the tattoos covering her. For some time, she lived in bondage. But when it became too much, she hatched a plan - cut the chains tying her, and pay whatever cost is required to escape.

She set a date with a doctor - one belonging to the Yakuza. A stack of nuyen - only her own - paid for the cost of the used 'ware she would need. And then? To cut her way out of the ties that bind? To break the magical power flowing through the tattoos?

Lingchi had the doctor cut her arm off, knowing full well what came next.

The backlash was ferocious, the damage massive, and her magic would never be the same. She was freed - but it cost her an arm and her eyes. Where she could, the old tattoos have been replaced. Her old hair has been replaced. Days of recovery later - she fled across the sea.

On the boat over, the person next to her asked her name, but the dazed mage could only mutter about what she saw in the sky hanging above. Yue Liang. 'Bright moon.' They called her that the rest of the voyage.

In Seattle though? She got nicknamed by disdainful members of the Triad. They wouldn't go after her - but they ensured that she'd be reminded every day of what she'd done.

Lingchi. Death by a thousand cuts. An execution by dismemberment, reserved for traitors. For now, Yue owns the name, for that is the name that gets her work.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

• Lucky - Even with all that's happened, Yue was born under a lucky star.
• Spirit Whisperer

Negative

• Dependent (Inconvenience) - Drinking & Smoking
• Distinctive Style - Fiber Optic Hair, LED tattoos of the sun and milky way, stars in her cybereyes, and an obvious cyberarm. There's nothing subtle about Yue.
• Impassive - Not the most emotional of characters, and her flattened affect is offputting.
• Phobia (Uncommon, Moderate) - Being trapped
