From out of the mist of time to the fog of San
Francisco streets, a visage appears to strike fear into evil hearts …
Chu-Jung: His face was utterly blank, with empty eyes.
A long black cloak, lined with silver silk, and with many cleverly hidden pockets.
Between the cover and silk were scales of armor. Scales and links of bronze and
steel hung together in a complex net, as flexible as heavy leather, as
intricate as clockworks. Catches disguised as decorations on the paldrons and
gorget held the garment together. The collar concealed a hood that almost
completely covered his head. The yoke hid armored shoulders. He slipped into
the cloak, and tied a bronzed-bound wooden sword under his left arm. The mask
was of red and black lacquer. He had smashed up crime syndicates at Oxford and
in Chicago’s Chinatown. Now he was in San Francisco’s Chinatown to do the same
thing.
Raymond Siu is American-Chinese. He is tall for his
race. Worked as a stage magician while
attending the university at Oxford. Trained in the ancient fighting technique
of Chu-Jung, named after the Chinese Lord of Fire – the god who kept order on
Earth. He is employed in San Francisco’s Cultural Museum.
He lives in a small apartment in a Chinese flat. The
courtyard consist of a maze of alleyways, the majority of which were not
accessible from any of the main streets. He could hear the cluck and scratch of
penned chickens around the corner.
Lily Wing is a famous archeologist and cartographer.
She has traveled to Egypt, Greece, and other parts of the world in her studies.
Her hair is elaborately piled atop her head and fastened with a gold butterfly
pin, her smooth shoulders revealed by a low-cut evening gown. She is employed
in the Asian exhibition at the museum.
Harry Marsden is the Chief of Police, the police
official in the series.
Professor Black is Head of the San Francisco Cultural
Museum.
Matt Bingham is the assistant director of the Northern
European Exhibition Department, and is a racist.
There has been one story so far, “The Face of Chu
Jung, published in TALES OF MASKS & MAYHEM V #3.
