Personality

Tommy is a modern day sophist, and he loves rhetoric, philosophy, and debate. His nature is to be quite laid back and zen-like under most circumstances. However, when the weight of his family's misdeeds lay upon him, he is driven to make recompense, and all grace leaves his tongue. He becomes pragmatic and stoic, enabling him to make the hard choices that give his life meaning. If there is no place for him in the light, he will embrace the darkness to remove those that justice cannot reach.

Motivations

Justice
The character seeks to ensure that misdeeds are met with appropriate punishment.
Serenity
The character seeks freedom from the mistakes or tragedies of their past.
Outsider
Tommy is a loner, accepted neither by the law nor by the criminal underworld on which he preys.

History

Tommy's mother was a US Diplomat stationed in South Korea, and his father was... complicated. The assassin Shindo infiltrated the party only to get a lay of the land and information, not for a liaison with a diplomat. But that interlude resulted in a son. His mother, ever pragmatic, did not tell Tommy who his father was. One of his enemies did, after killing her. It was then that Tommy's powers manifested, enabling him to escape. From then on, he lived life on the run, with one goal other than survival -- not to end up like his father.

But his powers were more fit to follow his sire than rebel against him -- tailor made for an assassin. Heroes didn't accept him, and villains... well, his father had made enemies on both sides of the law. So Tommy found another use for his abilities: to bring to justice those villains that the system couldn't touch, and do what the other heroes couldn't... or wouldn't.

Powers and Abilities

With his strength, speed, and skills, Tommy would be a deadly foe even without his powers. His ability to teleport, control kinetic energy, and "mark" targets makes him an implacable hunter, able to reach targets where they think they are safest. Tommy's "Assassin's Mark" is a quasi-psychic "tag" that he can place on a single person or object by touching them, and then find later (with a successful Perception roll). His Assassin's Mark does not last forever, of course: it fades over the course of a few days.

Tommy's usual tactics are to gather his own evidence to come to a judgment on the target, scout them out and discover their weaknesses, use his connections to get close enough to "mark" them, and then kill them when they least expect it.

Tommy is completely fluent in Korean, American English, and Cantonese, but he quickly picks up any language he encounters.
