{{Tab}}Tag can modify the surface pigmentation of a wide variety of materials. He calls this 'tagging', and employs it extensively in his street art. The pigment change is permanent, though superficial and thus easily effaced from most materials. His visual range extends into near-infrared and near-ultraviolet, as does his tagging ability, since he can replicate any color known to him. He can even cause a tag to fluoresce, but only for a short time. His control over the patterns created diminishes with distance. For detail work, he must touch the surface, although he does not need to physically trace the design. Tagging very large areas or very fine detail requires more time and concentration on his part.

Introduction

xxxxxTag is quick to smile and slow to offend, with an easy-going attitude that strikes some people as flippant. Compassion for those who suffer and passion for art motivates him. He strives to live in the moment, and sometimes takes significant risks on a whim.

Description

xxxxxA small, lithe man of East Asian descent and indeterminate age, Tag tends toward bright, bright colors (not just in clothing--his hair is constantly changing hues) and moving fast.

Reputation

xxxxxIs a fairly prominent/infamous street artist, co-founder of Chimera Art Collective where he teaches several classes on visual art, and sole proprietor of Neon and Chrome color services. Active in the local leftist community as both a street medic and a protest artist.

History

xxxxxTag was born in Shanghai, the eldest daughter of working class Chinese parents. In his sixth year, Tag's family moved to New York City and opened a modestly successful bookstore in Chinatown called Jin Hua Yuan. Though his parents took great pains to conceal it, Tag knew their relocation was funded by organized crime connections.

xxxxxHis younger brother and sister were born in the States, and he was very dedicated to mentoring them. He read voraciously and did well in school, but chafed at his parents' desire for him to behave like a proper lady. A neighborhood shrine to Quan-Yin served as his sanctuary, where he would seek solace in sketching and painting.

xxxxxHe received a scholarship to attend Columbia University and, in obedience to his parents, went pre-med. Upon graduating, he announced his intention to undergo masculinizing hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery.

xxxxxWhen his parents reacted with disappointment, Tag's powers manifested: everything in contact with him turned stark, gleaming white. Fleeing his parents' home and abandoning plans for medical school, he went wandering.

xxxxxHe befriended punks, anarchists, queers, and mutants of all stripes; he also learned to acquire hormones on the street, among other substances.
