.:Physical Appearance:. Li was born to Chinese and Malaysian parents, and has short black hair (that occasionally gets a little shaggy) and dark brown eyes. He has a square chin and jaw, broad nose, and a smile he is told can light up a room when it's particularly bright. He occasionally grows short facial hair or scruff, but gets tired of it fast.
.:Height:. 5'8"
.:Portrayed by:. Osric Chau

.:Personality:. The lack of warmth shown by Li's parents toward him starting around the age of eight or nine sparked a serious deficit of self-esteem and a need for approval in Li, as well as a difficulty forming forming real intimacy. He developed his ability to be charming and to people please both as a coping mechanism and as a way to help him stay out of trouble. He's very comfortable with people on a surface level, friendly and charming and wanting to please, but when someone started to care about him too much, he didn't know how to handle it. On Earth, however, when his very survival became dependent on forming bonds with the people he was sent down with, he's had to push himself out of his comfort zone of surface level charm with no substance. He still struggles with it, but he's trying.
.:Special Skills:. On the Ark, Li was an average student with no particular draw to any specific subject. He didn't really have much in the way of skills, but but on the ground he learned to fight, more out of fear of losing his second chance on life than anything else. He's better with larger guns that he can brace against his body, preferably that have a scope or can fire many rounds in short succession. When it comes to handguns, his aim is isn't terrible, but he's a better aim with his fists or a blade in close range than a handgun. He's almost never the bigger guy in the fight, but he's fast.

.:Birthplace:. The Ark, Arrow Station
.:Family:. Arrow station has not been accounted for after the crash to Earth, but he assumes his parents are probably dead.
.:Occupation:. Former student and sex worker on the Ark, former soldier in Bellamy's Militia, current Guard.
.:History:. Li was born to lower class parents on Arrow station. He loved his parents, but life was never particularly easy. Both his parents worked in developing new tech for the Ark, but they had low level jobs that didn't bring much home. Li was very aware from a young age that there were things his parents did that he wasn't supposed to know about, let alone talk about, but around the age of twelve they must have decided he was old enough to "contribute", so to speak. As a child, one with a particularly innocent looking face and smile, he was less likely to get caught stealing and trading illegally if he was careful, his parents reasoned, and was definitely not going to get floated. Not right away, anyway.


And he never did get caught. There were a couple of close calls, with operations getting busted while he happened to not be in the vicinity. Though his parents were lacking the warmth they'd shown him as a younger child, he still sought to please them, and he learned to be charming when he needed to be, so that people generally overlooked him as a potential criminal… or became interested in him for reasons that had nothing to do with digging into his crimes. When he turned seventeen, one of the older women he "worked" with had apparently noticed that, and offered him another option. He could stop trading in stolen goods, and start earning more for himself and his family by using his body and his charm. Which seemed like a pretty good deal. He hadn't exactly slept around a lot before, but he enjoyed sex, and with less stealing, he was less likely to get caught, he reasoned. Besides, he was only an average student, and he'd probably wind up in a job like his parents, or on an assembly line on Factory Station one day, so his future wasn't exactly looking bright when it came to getting a better job and moving up his status on the Ark.


He spent a little over nine months trading sex for goods and better rations. He didn't tell his parents, but he was sure they knew. They never told him to stop, though, and he couldn't blame them. You did what you had to do. There were a few unsavory types he ran into, but for the most part the clients he spent time with were just lonely. Or bored of their spouses. And praise from some clients fueled his need for approval. Just over a couple months before his eighteenth birthday, he followed one of his Johns to a private location, accepted his payment for services about to be rendered and found himself in handcuffs instead. His John had apparently been an undercover guard. His parents never visited in lockup, and while some of the kids he met in lock up told him he should be pissed they never came, to him it felt about right. He was an embarrassment for them now.


About a week before his expected execution, Li got put on a dropship and sent to Earth. So the old expression went, he'd dodged a bullet. Or had he?
