Summary
Palooka is a washed up Hong Kong boxer who failed to find success when his opponents began cybernetically augmenting themselves. Now he works as muscle for Shadowrunners, in hopes of honing his skills to one day return to his former glory.
Goals
Palooka's main goal is to support himself and his foster father, Jiang Li. Secretly however he yearns to improve his boxing on the street so that one day he can return to Hong Kong and dominate the fight clubs, proving that hard work can triumph over any amount of augmentation.
Background
Charlie Welles, now known as Palooka, is a 32 year old son of USAC immigrants living in Hong Kong.

Growing up Palooka developed a love for boxing, and spent many years training to become a prize boxer at the local fight clubs. He saw some success in his teenage years, and even became known around town as "The Human Punching Bag" for his ability to take a massive amount of punishment in the ring. But as he got older, Palooka began to struggle against the local competition, who would often augment themselves with cybernetics to keep in top form. Being a purist of the sport and rather afraid of augmentation, Palooka refused to turn to technology to keep up with Hong Kong's boxing elite, and faded into obscurity. In need of money to support himself and his aging surrogate father, Palooka turned to the world of Shadowrunning to survive and hopefully hone his skills so that one day he can return to the ring.
