Background/History: Wang Chi is the unsung "hero" of Big Trouble. He puts up with having his fianc%8e kidnapped, getting captured by Lo Pan, being tortured by Rain, duels Rain to the death, fights Thunder one-on-one, and never once complains. And like many Chinese action heroes, it is his skill and determination that allows him to see things through.
Personality/Motivation: Of all the characters in Big Trouble, Wang Chi is probably the most "stable." He is loyal to his friends however ("Let's go Jack, do or die.") and does like to gamble ("Double or nothing Jack. This knife cuts this bottle in half."). And, if given the chance, he can be a bit of a show off (the fight with the Wing Kong at the warehouse door and his fight with Rain are two good examples).
Quote: "This knife cuts this bottle in half..."
Powers/Tactics: Wang Chi's abilities are centered around his martial arts training. It should be pretty obvious to anyone who has seen the movie Wang Chi is (or was) a member of the Chang Sings. He knows them and the Wing Kong too well. His maneuvers are based off of ones he demonstrated in the film, while the weapons elements are taken from the ones given to generic Chang Sings.
Along with his fighting skills, Wang Chi displays a smattering of knowledge about ancient Chinese myths and legends and the local tongs. We see him pick a lock in the Wing Kong Exchange, and his driving directions to Jack would indicate a fairly good knowledge of how Chinatown is laid out.
Appearance: Wang Chi is fairly short, with a lithe, compact build. He has short black hair and dark eyes. He usually is dressed in casual clothing, complete with a "Dragon of the Black Pool" warm-up jacket.
