Vampire: the Middle Kingdom - MrGone's Character Sheets

Hunters
For more on Shih and Strike Force Zero, see pgs. 317-318 of Kindred of the East; also, Demon Hunter X is an invaluable
resource for those that want to detail hunter characters.
Virtues: As mortals, save that Yin and Yang also determine Chi reserves to activate powers or implants..
Chi: Unlike most mortals, Shih and Strike Force Zero agents have access to their personal Chi and can spend it; Yin and
Yang Chi reserves are equal to the Virtue in question. However, as this energy is their life force, they lose one Health for every two
Chi they spend; treat this as lethal damage.
Combat: As mortals, hunters are vulnerable to injury and must either hunt in numbers and/or prepare very well when facing
the supernatural.
Shih Orphan
The only survivor of a family of eight slain by a vampire, the Shih that slew the monster took pity on the devastated child and
adopted her as his. The aging hunter taught the girl the techniques of Chi manipulation and the duty of killing demons that have
forgotten their heavenly mandate. The mentor has long passed away, but his mission lives on in his adopted daughter, who is perhaps a
little less quick than other Shih to forgive oversights and look favorably upon the shen, especially vampires. But all creatures, foul and
fair, have their appointed tasks, and this hunter does her level best to respect that... and she hopes Heaven will perhaps forgive her
occasional excesses in fulfilling her own.
In her early forties, this lady could have been beautiful if she had cared to be. As it is, she is weathered and made hard by
years of traveling and fighting, a road map of scars etching deeply tanned skin covering wiry muscle. Her face, while handsome, is
hard-set and uncompromising. The Shih Orphan quietly slips into a village or town, tracks threats to the local populace, and eliminates
them. In exchange, she has a place to sleep and food to eat for a short time before moving on again. She is clever and resourceful, and
finds nothing dishonorable in using stealth and trickery to win fights. Low war for low opponents, after all.

Strike Force Zero Enforcer
Recruited from one of Okinowa's beleaguered precincts, this corrupt beat cop that moonlighted as muscle for a Tong was
faced with a choice from a Strike Force Zero recruiter: get paid big yen doing for us what you're already doing, or go to jail and be
shamed forever in the yes of your community and family. He chose the first option, though only later did he realize what exactly he
would be going after... and by the time he did, backing out was not an option. Ah well, the work is hell, but the pay and the peripheral
benefits – like promotions and cybernetic upgrades – are great. And to tell the truth, unlike some of his teammates that wrestle with the
issue, getting paid to kill is right up his alley.
