Some Assembly Required

Some Assembly Required (or SAR for short) is a Chinatown Meta with the particularly disgusting power of being able to detach parts of his body.

Description
He's a Chinese man in his twenties, wearing the usual black costume of the Chinatown Metas. Or a disgusting collection of parts of such a man.

Background
Some Assembly Required was born and raised in Beijing. Where his powers comes from is a secret he has kept even from Old Regime government.

For a long time he kept his powers secret (to use them in his stage magic act). Then once the fighting of the civil war reached Beijing his girlfriend was killed in the fighting. Something in him snapped, and he used his powers to kill those responsible. He hated the imperialists from that moment and started to fight for the Old Regime.

Powers
SAR can detach his body parts and send them flying around independently. Somehow this does not interfere with the internal connections of his body: his blood continues to flow, and his nerves still connect the parts of his body together. He's practically immune to cutting damage, since parting his body causes no harm. The gruesome appearance of living, separate body parts is shocking enough to be practically a power in itself.

He has no real offensive powers, but he has some skill at kung fu, which he can use even when in pieces.

Personality
SAR is a very selfish person. He intended to use his powers only for personal gain, originally. He hates the Chinese imperial government not from any political beliefs but because they took something (his girlfriend) away from him, and now he opposes them at every chance from spite. He has no real concern for other people.

Relations
SAR does not seem to be bothered by the criminal activities Tim Lee has him involved in, and is relatively close to him. The Chinatown Metas don't generally like him.

History
SAR escaped to Colonial Bay from the Siege of Beijing with the other Chinatown Metas.
