Personality: Zero has a strong sense of what she feels is right and wrong, looking to atone for her past sins. She is remorseless towards those she feels has no remorse themselves for the crimes they commit. Though she doesn't see the world in black and white, she's quite close to having such an attitude. She can be compassionate and caring, but tends to keep that side of herself locked away most of the time She has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that she'll show off once in awhile. She's almost always serious, putting business before pleasure. Very rarely does she let her emotional guard down, leading her to come off as cold at times. She's slightly paranoid, very unwilling to trust new allies until they “prove” themselves to her. What that means or takes is known only to her. When she does take the rare time to relax, she actually enjoys video games, watching American sporting events, as well as pretty much acting like a typical woman (shopping, dressing up, makeovers, ect...). She will occasionally drink and smokes rather often.

History: Xiu-Yi Xun was the daughter to Bao Xun, a Chinese lawyer, and Ai Xun, a homemaker. While growing up, she took her studies in school serious and pursued track as a recreational hobby. Her father encouraged this, leading Xiu-Yi to working hard at improvement. Her parents raised her to be honest, hard working, prideful in anything she did and to always do what was right. As she grew, Xiu-Yi began the serious pursuit of an olympic track spot. Her legs became huge, earning her the nickname Speed Demon, along with the less flattering one of Thunder Thighs. While in her senior year of high school, her father unwittingly helped to convict a high ranking member of the Triad. This Triad member managed to arrange a hit on Bao. A bomb was planted in the Xun home, killing both Bao and Ai while Xiu-Yi was out running to train for track. She was devastated. She became withdrawn, almost cold. She was put under police protection until she finished high school.

Once she finished school, Xiu-Yi Xun signed up for the Chinese military. She was given a role in the Chinese Female Navy. Though disappointed at with the gender segregation and not being a part of the main army branch, Xiu-Yi worked hard in her given situation. She began rising quickly through the ranks. One of her superiors, a high ranking officer, pulled her aside one day. He gave her an offer to join an undercover training operation. She was uneasy with the secrecy involved, but decided the take him up on the offer. After being taken to an undisclosed underground bunker, she was injected with an experimental drug. The drug ended up enhancing her physical attributes to near or past super human levels. She was sent through various specialized courses involving fighting styles, weaponry, combat tactics, intelligence and counter-intelligence, computer hacking and programing and espionage. After two years of this training, she was given her mission... To be the secret weapon of the Triad. She refused at first, but her training and programing had brainwashed her into doing what she was commanded.

She would do her best to break freak of the mind control, but to no avail. She would kill rival mob bosses, bully those not strong enough to fight back, destroy rival gangs single handedly, all in the name of the organization that killed her family. After a year of such awful tasks, she was summoned to meet her boss. She was dressed in provocative lingerie and sent up to the man's hotel suite. The man informed her that she was to please him sexually in any way he desired. Before this happened though, he informed her that he was the one who placed the hit on her family. A single tear ran down her cheek. By the time the tear hit the ground, Xiu-Yi had her hands wrapped around the man's throat. He choked out the various triggers to try and put her back under control. None of it worked. She beat the man half to death, leaving him short of death and paralyzed from the waist down. Before she could be found, she fled the hotel. She used what money she had to commission a personalized qipao, along with her other equipment. She also got a plane ticket to America. Very few Triad members, knowing the training and skills she had received, would attempt to follow her. She's now doing what she can to atone for her sins and keep the innocent safe.

Powers: Outside of the physical enhancements from the experimental drug, along with her training, Zero doesn't really have any powers. Her superior speed, amazing flexibility and fantastic agility are her best assests. She is an expert with many different weapons, her favorites being nunchakus, katanas, sniper rifles and hand guns. She is a master of many different fighting styles, including kung-fu, judo, karate and is an experienced practitioner of jeet kune do.

Roleplay Sample: The night was dark. No moon light was to be seen. Even the stars were covered by a layer of clouds. A rain drop fell. One became two, two became four, until a full blown storm had broken out. A single woman with an umbrella was walking in the rain. She was attractive, her blond hair pulled into a tight bun, wearing a black two piece suit with a slightly short cut skirt and black high heels. She carried a large Coach purse and seemed rather oblivious to the city's surroundings. Before she knew what was happening, a hand was clamped over her mouth and she was roughly being pulled into a deserted alley. She dropped her purse and her umbrella as she was being pulled deeper into the darkness. It was seemingly even darker than the already dark night. The alley was dank and had garbage strewn about, both in bags and hanging out in the open. She struggled and fought to break free, her cries muffled through the hand over her mouth. She couldn't escape her captor and her stifled cries were being ignored. She couldn't even see the man who had grabbed her. She knew it was a man though. She could feel him towering over her. His hand clamped over her mouth was thick and filthy. She tried to beg, offer money to get away. The kidnapper laughed.

[Thug] I'll take that in time... But for now, I want something else...

His other dirty hand started slowly snaking it's way up the woman's bare thigh. She shut her eyes tightly. She didn't want to experience what was coming next. She held her breath and started trembling in fear. She could feel her eyes starting to water.

[???] That's enough!

The woman's eyes shot open with surprise. Someone had stepped up to save her. She felt herself roughly released, crashing into one of the haphazardly placed garbage bags. A silhouette was all that was visible at the end of the alley. The proportions seemed to indicate that of a woman. The lower body though, seemed entirely too thick for that of a normal lady. The thug let out a gravelly chuckle.

[Thug] You better get outta here, little lady. Unless maybe, you'd like to take her place as my bitch!

The thug took a step forward. No sooner than his foot had hit the ground, the shadow was in his face. Three palm strikes sent the thug skidding across the ground. The thug took about a minute to stumble back to his feet, gasping for breath and groggy. The shadow gave him no time to recover. One quick chop to the temple dropped the thug once again, knocked out. The woman sat motionless in the garbage pile. She was completely dumbfounded by what she had just witness. The storm had now cleared up. The clouds had parted ever so slightly, allowing some moon light to filter into alley. The woman found a hand in front of her, helping her to her feet. The shadow was no longer a shadow. Before this woman stood another woman, a strikingly beautiful Asian woman. She had a very curvacious body, fit and toned. Her legs were abnormally thick and muscular. The Asian woman gave the victim a warm smile and started to walk away.

[Woman] Wait!

The hero stopped in her tracks, but didn't turn around.

[Woman] Can I please know the name of the incredible woman that saved me?

[???] It's Zero... The Zero Soldier.

There was a very slight accent to her words, though it almost made them seem smooth as they left her mouth. She walked out of the alley and turned the corner. The woman rushed out of the alley, leaving her purse and umbrella, to try and catch the Zero Soldier. She hurriedly looked to the left and to the right. It was too late, the Zero Soldier had seemingly disappeared into thin air.
