Character History:

Li Xiao Chun was born to a wealthy family in Hong Kong, and spent his childhood pampered in a mansion with his rich family, having his needs attended to by a large array of servants. He studied cybernetic augmentation in school, but eventfully decided against pursuing a career in it. When he turned 25, he, against his parent's wishes for him to become a glorious businessman, he instead joined the police force, and was made a detective. He proved to be a decent detective, but was panned for unnecessary force against suspects, and for generally trying to stay away from augmentations, only taking the bare minimum, as he was rather against augmentations, not wanting to look like a "freak". This proved later on to be his downfall.

Six years later, Li was part of a small team sent to investigate a suspected Triad-related drug-making operation in a old factory. When the team arrived, they found the entire area abandoned. When searching the area, Li ran afoul of a IED placed in a crate, and was heavily wounded, particularly on the left side of his body, and was rushed to the hospital for quick treatment.

His family, paying for the expensive treatment, allowed the doctors to use augmentations on him. His injuries included losing his left eye, half of his left hand has been blown off, and his left foot had been basically destroyed. Damage to his brain also forced the Doctors to take extreme measures to save his life. The doctors placed a cybernetic eye (which looked less like a eye and more of a glowing green light on a bulky, small silver tube in his eye.), a new hand, which had long, sharp, needle-like fingers, and a replacement foot that had claw-like toes, to help balance. He also had to get a large about of the left side of his body covered in wires going in and out of his skin, as several small devices had to be placed inside of his torso to quickly regrow his skin. Most of all, however, his brain had to have several damaged parts of his left brain area replaced his cybernetic replacements, which would be filled with as much of the organic parts as it could, in order to help him still have his memories. However, this proved to be the start of his insanity.

Released from the hospital after it was determinatated he was "stable", and sent back home, he took a rest, but realized that he was unable/unwilling to take a rest or go to sleep, he simply thought of his new cybernetic appearance, unable to comprehend having been changed in such a way. He was eventually called down to the station, where he was told by his fellow detectives that they had caught several Triad-affiliated (more or less street thugs hired to operate the drug operation) thugs. Li was chosen to interrogate them (his superior though his new appearance would scare them.) However, during the interrogation, he accidently killed one of the thugs by crushing his neck. However, instead of stopping, he, amazed at his new power and slowly losing his sanity, he went on to kill two more of the suspects before being stopped and pulled away from the last one. His superior, enraged, fired him for his poor interrogation methods.

Li went back home, and decided to go to his room and think. While in his room thinking, he slowly lost his mind, and decided that, due to his "new glorious augmentations" that cyborgs were the "master race" and that he must spread the "gift" of cyborgistation. When he told his family about his idea, his father told him that he needed to "calm down" and that he would call the hospital to admit him to a ward, and that they would fix him. Li told him that he "was a weak fleshbag who did not understand the gift" and calmly left.

Upon leaving, he went to the harbor, and after placing a large amount of supplies for his journey to "the forsaken land" in a stolen motorboat, he kidnapped the owner of the motorboat, and he promptly left the harbor, and left for the Lawless Zone.

On his journey, he decided to "test" his skill with the "gift" and performed a surgery on the owner of the motorboat in a area Li had converted to a surgery room. He promptly took the person, and forcibly implanted cybernetic implants into the person, and programmed the brain additions to force the person to serve him and him alone. Impressed by his own rusty, but acceptable work, he decided that this would be his modus operandi to bring up his Cyborg Religion. He gave the person a old, outdated rifle, and continued his journey to the lawless zone. He arrived and beached his stolen boat near the former Omanian city of Suhar. Near the city, he found a old bunker, that appeared to be some sort of secret prison area. it was rather outdated, having 1990s/2000s technology, like old generators and a bunny ears TV in a small bedroom. He decided that this bunker, despite not exactly being hidden (the entrances were small huts that had stairways leading down to the bunker area) would be the site of his cult, which he declared the name of would be "Lovelace's Hand" in honor of Ada Lovelace.

When night fell, he and his cyborg companion went throughout the city of Suhar, kidnapping any isolated or small group of "fleshbags" (about 2-3) and bringing them back to the "Church" his name for the bunker).l When inside the "Church" he would throw the kidnapped people in the cells, and after establishing a surgery room, he would bring them one by one into this room and forcibly implant cybernetic implants into their body. His implanting skills were rather rusty, but they loosely worked, and he forcibly programmed the ideas of "Computerism" and serving him as leader of the cult. He continued this, having gathered a group of about twenty cultists, all of whom had been programmed to follow him and the "Mad Gangster Computer God" who he decreed was the deity of Computerism. The majority of them were armed with low-tech weapons such as AK-47s, Axes, and other sorts of outdated weapons. Upon gaining twenty (unwitting) followers, he discovered from a prisoner that many warlords in the region were gunning for the once-great city of Dubai. Realizing that Dubai would be a glorious capital of the great Cyborg Theocracy he wanted, he slowly plotted with his followers to bring more followers into the fold, continuing his nighttime raids on other cities and small communities, kidnapping them and dragging them back to the "Church" for conversion into a cyborg. For this reason, he was referred to by the locals as the "Night Creeper" (الليل الزاحف). When he learned of this, he felt it fit quite well into the minds of the "cowardly fleshbags"

Li also wrote on the five tenants of Computerism, which were:

1. "Fleshbags are the most complacent scum on the Earth, and must be brought into the fold of the Computer God."
2. "If you see a Fleshbag, hold them and bring them back to the Church for the Allfather to give the Gift to them."
3. "Genetically altered humans are simply Fleshbags who have chosen to make themselves a affront to the Computer God by making themselves stronger to fight us off. If you see a Genetically altered fleshbag, kill it."
4. "The Computer God is beneolevent and wishes to bring the ignorant fleshbags into the Master Race. Fearing him is irrational."
5. The Allfather is the Computer God's prophet, and you must follow him to bring His word into this wasteland."

His current goal is to raise a army of the "Master Race" and capture Dubai and establish the Cyborg Theocracy.

Character's Role in the Plot: Dubai Warlord, cyborg supremacist.

Though it might not come as a surprise, i am dropping my character out of this. However i will still help when need be, the last few weeks i had family engagements and wasn't able to get on, and my character, though i like him, won't really have a good impact on the Ic, imo. It has also been a while since i posted.
