Wong, Sun Ting

Wong Sun Ting is a member of the Cloppenburg Post-Truth Patrol, and a former member of the Hakkon Empire's 2nd Shock Army. Heavily focused on close quarter combat, he is one of the main front-liners during any combat situation.
== Character Overview ==
=== Description ===
Wong is distinctly from the further eastern regions of the Hakkon Empire. He had short black hair bordering on a complete shave but it had started to grow due to the lack of military regulations. He is fairly tanned due to long periods in the sun. He has severe scarring on both his hands, and his left ring finger is missing completely. He is in great physical shape because of his time in the Hakkon Army, however his physical size puts him to be on the shorter side of the party.
Wong is usually seen with armour, and a few visible weapons dangling off him. His sense of fashion is non-existent, and will always be influenced by practicality rather than style.
=== Character ===
Wong has an ingrained bias and hostility against other races due to the constant border skirmishes he's been sent to in the past. However, if a person sheds blood by his side, he may even begin to treat you like a friend.
Wong also displays further distrust for those that wield magic as their main source of power. In his experience, the power can be corrupting to the character of the being due to the ease of access to such power. He has been keeping a close eye on members of the Pretzel Party, at first as potential enemies. Currently, he is trying to steer particular members off what he sees as destructive paths.
== Backstory ==
Wong was born into a struggling family. His single mother runs a noodle stall. Wong and his younger sister, Wong Yu Ting, usually helps out, and he has found he has quite the talent in making food. Despite this, due to unfortunate circumstances, it was not to be.
Being from a struggling family, he had joined up with the military to help his family out as soon as he reached service age. He had signed up to be an army cook but being largely uneducated, he had difficulty reading, and filled in the wrong forms. Wong had unwittingly signed away ten years of his life. While his family got more benefits he was dropped into one of the toughest training regimes thought out at the time.
After several years of service, and several secret or forgotten conflicts and skirmishes fought, he was abandoned by his unit after an ambush. Bitter, and lacking any sense of direction, he started to wander, and was eventually picked up by a caravan making its way to Zingherra. After paying for the trip, he was left with nothing but his weapon and armor.
The 2nd Shock army will most likely name him as one of the many casualties suffered by all Shock units, and give the appropriate benefits to his family. That fact gave him peace of mind. Perhaps one day he will gather enough funds to open a noodle shop of his own, but as of currently, he will start making money the only way his knows how to: through overwhelming violence.
