Rocket

Rocket is a battlesuited rocket-firing member of the Chinatown Metas.

Description
Rocket is a tall man (by Chinese standards), strong but not handsome of features.

Background
A mutant born in Hunan province, Rocket's obvious powers manifested at the age of 12 and he was promptly brought into the army. He took well to it, and has served all over China.

Powers
Though it's generally believe he's is a battlesuited normal, in fact the suit is only for armour: the mini-rockets he fires, and the main rocket thrust by which he flies, are generated naturally by his body (he's a mutant).

Personality
Rocket is a soldier. He is still loyal to the old regime and serves it still. He is not an unthinking soldier - indeed he's developed tactical sense and an interest in war games (though on the field his main tactic is usually to to strike quickly before people are ready) - but he sees the army as a thing greater than himself, and an order as something with moral force.

Relations
Rocket obeys Tim Lee's orders as surely as he obeyed the army's. He gets on well with Gamma, who has a similar soldierlike outlook.

History
Rocket escaped to Colonial Bay from the Siege of Beijing with the other Chinatown Metas, and has been a good soldier for Tim Lee ever since. He was involved in fighting a case of arson in Chinatown, and also intercepting a delivery of armour destined for Pride.
