Xing is a shy little thing that, like many engineers and technicians, are good at technical skill; but not social skills. She is good at driving, flying, or steering anything. She can repair most things, and is pretty good at navigating along the way. But her social skills are not on par with the rest of her skills. She looks at people’s feet, mumbles a little, and communicates in single syllable words or grunts. Only when she’s talking about technical details or is in a discussion about the features of some gadget, or troubleshooting some process will she ever really drop those hang-ups.

Xing is from China, which like Russia and the old Eastern bloc committed horrible ecological acts against the earth. Much of those nations is toxic and dead, deterioration eclipses what is seen in the west, and life is cheaper than ever. Shanghai is one of the few places above that, even though it is just by a little. Shanghai is the center of the bio-weapons, bio-ware, and bio-technology industries. There is a kind of ‘lets try anything’ attitude there which frightens much of the rest of the world. Xing La has experimented with gene-therapies to alter her DNA. A bit of water rat and a bit of fish DNA are now mixed in with hers. These contribute to give her some of her stranger physical abilities and the abnormal features of her appearance.

This little gal from Asia came to the US through Seattle, the biggest port on the western seaboard. She’d saved for years and finally made enough to immigrate, illegally. In China everyone has a SIN, a job, a television, a refrigerator, and a wristwatch. But the government isn’t exactly into letting people leave, especially not women. Government regulated birth control and child waiting lists were not for Xing La so she paid to be smuggled into the North American free city of Seattle. After the long sea crossing she tried to find work, but without a usable SIN she headed for the Redmond barrens. Barely avoiding exploitation and the sweatshops, she managed to ply her skills running drugs to Denver. After a busted run in Denver, in which she dropped the drugs but corporate security tried to nab her right afterwards, she fled cross country and ended up in Missouri. There she worked as a garage mechanic in a quiet corner of the Kansas City Metroplex. Things seemed fine and she was almost happy until a gang war destroyed her shop in a random riot/shootout. Hiding from the crowd and the gunfire, she fled the city on foot. She chose north, not knowing any better direction to go, and eventually was picked up by a trucker named Larry Joe. Larry, or Joe as he prefers to go by, was friendly enough and brought her to MSP. On the west side of the city he dropped her off at a shelter frequented by proles and said good luck. They keep in touch only through a mutual friend, ErOS. Xing La took work with him on a job to dismantle a tunneling device with a runner named Shark. The two of them said it was for the right reasons, and it paid well, so she’s stayed working with Shark and Raven since. Eros hasn’t worked with her since, but they chat a little on the tech boards.

Skinny, red headed, Asian in greasy, loose fitting work clothes. This is what people first see when they see Xing La. She’d have a cute, tan, round face if it weren’t a little so worn from years at sea and her red lambent eyes. She rarely opens her mouth when she speaks because she’s horribly self conscious about her teeth, which are bony and misshapen like a rat’s.
