'''Chi Ling Kwan''' is a character in the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] [[shared-world]] series created by [[Roentgen]]. A Cadet First Class at the [[United States Academy of Extranormal Studies]] at Evansville, Indiana, Chi Ling is a psi-active cadet in the ''Mental Enhancement Program'' (although she also spends much time with the ''Enhanced Lifeform and Medical Sciences Program''). The character first appeared in the LLH 'Mini' ''Statement of Intent''.
Line 8:
Chi Ling is a young woman of Taiwanese-American descent was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois. She is the daughter of a mother (who works as a teacher in the local school district; she also has low-level mystic abilities and was open with using them in her home, but taught the children to be quiet about it) and a father who works as a nurse practitioner for a private practice (that actually deals with metahumans in a clandestine fashion to preserve their privacy and safety). Chi Ling is the oldest of five children; she has three sisters and a brother. An excellent student and voracious reader even as a child, Chi Ling was also always interested in the outdoors as well, and even as a cadet, has maintained her connections with the ''Girl Scouts of America'' and has been very active in the organization. (This has meant that since her arrival at USAES, she is a connection for her friends and fellow cadets for Girl Scout cookies. It was also where she developed her love of archery.)
Her mutant psi-abilities manifested when she reached the age of eight (in her mother’s side of the family, there is a history of powers in the female members of the family, and of manifesting well before puberty, even though they are mutants). With her parents’ help, quickly learned what her powers were; one of the first uses of her powers was to construct her own tree-house in the family backyard, and to create a permanent micro-environment within that maintains the interior as if it were a cool summer day. (It was found later that the tree-house is now an effective storm shelter, and proof against any form of natural disaster.) Her parents contacted associates who suggested applying for USAES and Chi Ling entered at age twelve; her parents wanted to keep her home as long as possible to enjoy a normal lifestyle as long as possible. Despite the normal issues that all children deal with, Chi Ling became a successful and well-liked cadet (although teased a bit for her maternal style of dealing with her fellow cadets).
In her first year in the Elite Academy, she was assigned to [[Norris Nance]], (a Cadet Fifth Year and a fellow psi-active who was assigned to [[Training Cadre 6000]]), as his metahuman peer mentor. Unfortunately, Chi Ling had been called to Washington, D.C. due to the current Administration’s anti-immigrant policies. She was to be questioned by high-level members of the Administration, who were going to use her in their efforts; due to shoddy investigative measures, simple, inexcusable mistakes and racist beliefs, Chi Ling’s family were accidentally targeted as ‘illegal immigrants taking advantage of the country’. The matter was eventually cleared up but Chi Ling was kept in ‘protective custody’ for a week; when she was finally released, she was allowed to contact USAES and found that Norris had died in an accident during his [[Summer of Light]] testing seminar.
She has chosen to become a [[Red Force]] Specialist with a concentration in ''Phase One'' operations ('' ‘Red Rabbit’ ''), but in an unusual move for a psi-active of her power and skills, she chose to train in the ''National Service'' Active Services track, and is planning to join FEMA as a member of the Urban Search and Rescue Teams. (However, she has heard rumors - spread since [[Revelation Day]] and the work of the Legionnaires in Puerto Rico - of an internationally-staffed rapid-response organization of metahumans that will act in cases of emergency situation and disaster relief anywhere on Earth they may occur. She is very interested in seeing if the rumors are true, and of possibly joining if they are.)
In academics, she is in the ELMS enhanced health and medical sciences program (where she has earned a Level Two ''Healer'' certification). She will graduate with a degree in Health and Medical Sciences, and a commission as a First Lieutenant in the Illinois Air National Guard. (Many interested parties, both military and civilian, are very interested in stealing her away from FEMA even before graduation - especially after learning about her work in Puerto Rico as a member of [[Operation Silver Shield]].)
Chi Ling is five feet tall, and weighs 106 pounds. She has very delicate and feminine facial features, a slim form with an average bust size (because of her other physical proportions, this attribute does stand out) and small feet. She has jet-black hair and pale green eyes; she wears her hair in a number of military-approved styles that allow her to let her hair grow to her preferred length (as she enjoys having long lengths of hair).
