Yao Wang |Patient|

Yao is a calm person that may catch a few glances from people because of his feminine appearance at first glance, but take a good look at him and you may regret it. He keeps an almost constant straight face, but can be creepily amused by the smallest things. He can be quite friendly brotherly to others that remind him of the only person whom he really loved; his late little brother. He was raised in a tough household, and is obsessive over manners, etiquette, and respect towards elders. When people do not listen to his words, he spares no sympathy and uses physical violence. Yao is very patriotic and loves his country, and will be furious at anyone who stereotypes or mocks Chinese culture.

Yao's childhood was quite a tough one; though he was born into a middle class family, his father was prone to physical abuse towards his mother and him. His mother, Huian, tried her best to keep Yao safe, but was forced by her husband to be corrupted and adopt a violent personality herself. Forced years of martial arts gave him a sense of discipline and an escape, but they were physically and mentally exhausting. From then on, he was obsessed with respect, honor, and manners.

When Yao was 8 years old, the "Accident" (as his father referred to it), better known as his little brother Ling was born. It was almost a blessing from the Gods for Yao - someone to share his pain, and somewhat of a savior; his mother died in childbirth. Since their father was either out committing some kind of illegal activity or at home abusing them, Yao had to raise his brother on his own. Once Ling was old enough, they stole their way through the streets of Beijing and lived a secret life of thieves; "home" was somewhere to sleep, and nothing else. Yao and Ling were the best of friends and pretty much inseparable.

It was on a careless excursion out in Beijing's slums that Yao's life changed forever. The brothers (Yao now 15 and Ling now 8 ) had just stolen a haul of money and food when they were approached by fellow thieves, though much older than them. With no warning, Yao was forced to watch his younger brother be brutally stabbed to death with a dagger. When it was his turn, fear turned him into a coward. Instead of facing the attackers, Yao tried to run. However, he was caught and slashed in the back, leaving a long, deep wound that is a haunting reminder to him today as a scar.

After tolerating another long two years of abuse from his father, Yao finally snapped. He murdered him and ran away from home, leaving the life of violence he knew for his entire life in Beijing.

From then on, Yao made a vow to find and kill his brother's murderer. He traveled across China, seeking out anyone who even looked remotely like the man he saw that day. In this process, he killed three men; all innocent.

At the Russian border, Yao was caught in the act, attempting murder of another innocent soul. He was taken in by authorities who had been following his loosely covered trail. After jailtime of 6 months, violent tendencies towards other prisoners and his mental disorders required him to transfer to the Axis Psychiatric Hospital.

This is where his story begins.
