Name: Professor YANG Xia （杨侠） (Yang is his family name)
Age: 29
Hair color: Midnight black
Eye color: Midnight black
Height: 1.85 m
Appearance: A handsome, muscular man with shoulder length black hair tied into a ponytail. He usually dresses in a simple black Chinese tunic suit along with a black hooded cloak with the Chinese calligraphy 誅奸戡賊 (execute traitors and quell rebels), or the motto of the Order of Internal Killing Fist painted in white on it. He is also usually seen carrying black walking cane; it actually hides an, aptly named, canesword. Finally, he wears a pair of thin, black-rimmed glasses.
Biography: Born at a classified location in the Chinese province of Shandong, Yang was raised from birth to be a perfect assassin for the Chinese government and the Order of Internal Killing Fist. At merely age 13, he had killed over 127 dangerous enemies of the State and People. At age 15, he was transferred to the United Nations Anti-Metahuman Task Force by the Chinese government. Their mission is to find, identify, and kill dangerous super-powered entities causing havoc all over the world. The exact details are classified, and he does not like to share, but traumatising events motivated him to quit at age 21. After this, Yang returned to China and, deciding he wanted to do some good, began to study for a career in teaching; it was also at Peking University that he developed his addiction to caffeine. At age 23, he met his future wife, Anna Carlisle, who worked as an interpreter at the American embassy; the two bonded over their love of languages, later each other, and at age 28, the two married and moved to the US after Yang graduated with his degree in Linguistics and Education. Not long after that, he was hired by St. Dymphna’s Academy.
Personality: Despite, or in spite of, his bloody record of killing people, Yang himself has a very peaceful, friendly, and almost goofy personality, although his Government Assassin persona is hiding there somewhere in his head. He is still a traumatised man, however, and certain triggers may cause Vietnam War-style flashbacks. In his spare time, he likes to read, train, teach himself new languages, train, and spend time with his wife… and train.
Class taught: Chinese (Beginners and Advanced)
Skills:
1) Master of a 4000 year-old Chinese assassination technique, Yin Sha Quan (陰殺拳), or Internal Killing Fist; uses acupuncture points to kill from the inside: heart attacks, aneurysms, closed windpipes, causing muscles to involuntarily snap spine in half, etc. Yin Sha Quan also allows it practitioners to tap into all of their latent qi, allowing for virtually superhuman feats of strength, endurance, and a sixth sense of qi detection and reading. Unfortunately, he lacks the superhuman sight part; he needs glasses, after all. Finally, Yin Sha Quan's intimate knowledge of the human body can be used for healing as well.
2) Master swordsman.
3) Polyglot.
