Player (nickname, handle)/ LJ: Chris
Email: on File
AIM (if you have one): On File
Character Name: Woo Shi Yi (Derek Woo)
Character LJ (if applicable): childofatlas
Physical description (face, build, weight): Derek is a tall, muscular young man of mixed descent. his atlantean heritage has given him slightly pointed ears (although they are barely noticeable), but he does have the sign of most other mixed human/atlanteans: he has wings upon his ankles, allowing him flight. His hair is cut short like his uncles.
Age: 16
Birthday: November 16
PB: Cung Le
Abilities: Derek has the increased strength, speed (particularly swimming), and durability of all Human/Atlantean hybrids. He can see and breath under water with ease. He also has some minor access to Uranian technology, such as headbands similar to his Uncle Bobs, although with nowhere near the capacity as he is Non Uranian.
Weaknesses and flaws: Derek has the temper of his mother and uncle. he is not as brash or eager to fight, but when his moods do swing to that of anger he is hard to dissuade, particularly when it comes to Temujin, the current Mandarin. In addition, if he were to use Uranian technology to excess it leaves him mentally worn.
Character location/Home: Atlas Sanctuary, under San Fransisco, CA, his "nephews" apartment in NYC
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Relatives (living/dead?): Namora (mother/living), Woo Yen Jet/Jimmy Woo (father, living), Namor McKenzie (uncle, living), Namorita Prentiss (half sister, living), MacKenzie Rider (nephew, living)
Backstory: When Jimmy Woo was returned to his youth and found himself the leader of the Atlas Foundation, he had in his employ several of the most loyal teammates anyone could hope for. But there was one who, as a monarch herself, was the most help in making his adjustment from a time-warped secret agent from the 1950s into a true monarch: Namora of Atlantis. Through many hints (or snide remarks in the case of his Uncle Ken) that the two were more interested in one another than they claimed, it took several months for them to admit it, and even then it was a discussion between the two that ended in mad passion that cemented their relationship. Not two years after they started the relationship did fate (and some high tech fertility treatments) grant Namora the joy of giving birth to a second child, Woo Shi Yi (or in the tongue of his fathers adopted land, Derek after their confidant Derek Khanata).
Derek grew up in the upper leadership of the Atlas Foundation, but was treated as a normal child by the members of the team (all of whom he knows as his Aunts or Uncles). He grew up aware of the world outside but he never got much chance to interact with it because of the semi-secretive aspect of the Foundation. Still, he was given a thorough education and had the equivalent scholarly knowledge of a high school student by the time he was sixteen.
However, the secretive nature of the Atlas Foundation worked against it when Temujin, the son of the Mandarin and former member of the Foundation, took upon the title Mandarin for himself and began to eat away at the power base Jimmy Woo had worked for years to ensure. Temujin made an attack upon the Sanctuary itself, trying to claim the Spirit Banner when Derek fought in his first major battle. His atlantean physiology and his Uranian training helped to stall the older man, but only long enough to be reminded that his father will die at the hands of the dragon Mr Lao and it would be all his fault that his father would die when he became Eternal Khan.
Still, Temujin was pushed out and Atlas won, but much of its anonymity was spoiled due to the attack. It is still mostly secretive, but an idea of how large Atlas was became known as Temujin tried to push his advantage in the economic fields. The last three years have been a trying time for the young princeling of two worlds, and to help he was given a chance to live elsewhere. He has yet to decide where, though...
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Derek has been mostly isolated in his entire life. He does know how to interact and talk but he has been around mostly older people, and more importantly older people who did not wish to anger the young Khan to be. So he will strike out on his own, most likely with the help of his cousin. Much hilarity will ensue
What are you planning to do with this character?: As he has about as much knowledge of the Marvel universe as the player does, he will be a curious fellow exploring and meeting people as best he can.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Some character growth. he has been tucked away from the world for most of his life and, while he knows how to communicate, he tends to blurt and can be awkward at times.
