Tai-Sheng Mak was groomed from a young age to be a martial arts adept. He was, along with Hua Xiao Yang, trained to enter the Tiger Squad, China's official government paranormal agency. The two marvelously skilled and physically superior young men were dubbed Master Tiger (Tai-Sheng) and Dragon Master (Hua) respectively. They both worked closely with many of the other agents and were national heroes. Then things changed. The massacre at Tieneman's Square moved Hua to rebel against the chinese government. Renouncing his role in the Tiger Squad, he fled for the United States. Master Tiger, his best friend, was crushed. He couldn't believe that Hua would abandon the people of China in such a dishonorable fashion. Master Tiger begged his superiors for a chance to bring his friend to justice. In his heart, he had hoped to convince Dragon Master to return. The two met in San Fransisco, though he argued for Hua's return, Tai-Sheng was rebuked. Angered, he attacked his friend. Though Master Tiger is even Quicker than Dragon Master, he failed to defeat his friend. Despondant, he returned to China only to find his failure had cost him his title and place in the Tiger Squad. The meeting didn't go well, Master Tiger lost his cool and severely injured his superior; now on the run like Hua, he fled. Master Tiger tried to hook up with his former comrade but Dragon Master turned him away, claiming that he only came to him after losing his prestious job and not out of any loyalty. Master Tiger swore vengance. He kicked around as a mercenary for a while, his hatred for the Chinese government and Dragon Master festering. He was easily drawn into the Dynasty, they treated him like he wanted to be treated. Now he fights for the "freedom" of the Chinese people. In truth he has become a thug caring only about his vengance and the size of his paycheck. A surprisingly petty and tempermental master of martial arts. Though he is dedicated, disciplined and works well with others, he is also interested solely in his own comfort and sense of "justice". Like Green Dragon (a warrior Master Tiger some times spends time with), Tai-Sheng is also anti western culture. He finds all non asians to be backwards, arrogant, and foolish. "The Jaws of the Tiger rend with impunity, you shall understand that fact soon enough." Though he doesn't have a laundry list of special attacks, Master Tiger is a powerful front line martial artist. He does good damage and has high defenses for a man of his quickness and speed. He generally tries to wear down his targets with mid level strikes and saves his Killing Strike for truely superhuman foes. Martial Arts Master. If he's too tough for your campaign drop his DC's to a manageable level and his attributes to 27 DEX and 6 SPD.
