Plot Hooks
♦ Barrio Chino/Chinatown:
A newcomer to Tijuana's Barrio Chino and Prospect's Chinatown from San Francisco, Thomas "MoGui" Hu ostensibly works for the Gam Saan Historical Preservation Society. Interestingly enough, he doesn't actually seem to live in either Barrio Chino or Chinatown, but somewhere "up north" instead. He can usually be identified by the matte black Kawasaki racing motorcycle that he drives into and out of Prospect and Tijuana.
♦ Crime/Street:
MoGui seems to have a great deal of influence with the Azure Dragons Motorcycle Club. They mostly ride between the mojave desert and Fern Valley.
♦ Occult:
He's known to be a practitioner of Zi Wei Dou Shu, known to those in the West as Purple Star Astrology, one of the most well-respected processes for laying out "The Destiny Path" or "Fate". In ancient times, Zi Wei Dou Shu was restricted to the exclusive and private consultation of the Imperial Emperors only as Zi Wei Dou Shu could provide an elaborate reading too detailed and classified. Zi Wei Dou Shu has been used by professional consultants and practitioners for the past 1000 years to determine one's destiny and as remedial Feng Shui strategies.
♦ Secret Origins!: Alter Egos & Mystery Men
Thomas "MoGui" Hu has led a colorful and interesting life! Born roughly a decade or so before the onset of the Second World War in Hong Kong to a Devil Tiger who deceived and seduced a mortal Hong Kongese hedge witch, he was given up after birth by his mother to keep him from falling into the hands of his father, hoping to avoid whatever dastardly designs the wan kuei had for the child. Growing up a rough and tumble orphan on the streets of pre-war Hong Kong, Thomas's life took on an extraordinary trajectory when he was located by his mother's Guide, Mr. Fu, and the former Electrodyne Engineer Captain "Levinbolt" al-Mirzam of the aethership Nashira. Taken on as the Captain's ward, and nicknamed "MoGui", he came of age during the Second World War, fighting as sidekick alongside the Captain and his Irregulars against the occult forces of the Axis. The conclusion of the war also brought about the dissolution of the Irregulars, leaving MoGui alone once more, save for the guidance of Mr. Fu. Where has MoGui been since then, and what was he been up to? Only his pals have any hope of knowing!

"Never trust a Yama King. He has a hundred motives for anything he does ... Ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent."

"There are 12,800 hells located under the earth – eight dark hells, eight cold hells and 84,000 miscellaneous hells located at the edge of the universe. The Kuei-Jin bring a piece of each hell back to the Middle Kingdom with them."

"They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls."

"The souls of the deceased endure after death and must be kept happy by offerings and honor. If a spirit is not kept happy, perhaps because it had a bad death, an improper burial or has no descendants to perform the proper rituals, it becomes a hungry ghost."
