Violence was everywhere, an everday thing. His parents managed to avoid that life. The interracial family was often the target of hatred, but that generally only happened when they were together in public. It seemed as if their front door could lock out all the world. </p><p></p><p>Diego's father was a Mexican, his mother was born and raised in Germany. His father worked construction. He worked hard almost every day, usually only having one day off a week. Diego's mother... had a less honorable job. She worked the streets as a prostitute. Diego spent many of his years alone, reading or playing Indiana Jones in the house. </p><p></p><p>He was 7 when the police came to his house. He will never forget the faces of the two officers. They asked him who he was. He had nothing to hide, he answered truthfully. The mustached officer proceeded to tell him that his parents were found murdered. In retrospect, the officer had to of kept talking. Diego heard none of it. His parents were gone. Murdered. His world went black.</p><p></p><p>Diego awoke some time later, in the house of some Chinese man and woman. They were all seated around the table, eating some kind of food Diego had never seen before. He was surprised to see that he had been "out" for nearly 3 days. Locked in the black recess of his own mind. He learned quickly that his father had followed his mother that fateful day. He saw her preform a "trick." It was a murder-suicide. Diego's father stabbed his mother nearly 50 times, then slit his own throat. </p><p></p><p>They were a nice enough couple, even put in to permanently adopt him. They moved to America from a rural spot near the city of Chiayi. Diego learned alot about the Chinese culture, their legends, history, and even some of thier martial arts. He became obessed with blades, and had a natural nack for archery. His father gifted him with a compound bow, styled to match (as close as possible) the ancient bows used by the Chinese military. </p><p></p><p>Diego never really spoke. He saw it as unnecessary. He <em>could</em> speak, in multiple tongues, he just refused to. Many people learned that when Diego did speak, he meant every single word that escaped his lips. He was kicked out of school at the age of 15, for nearly beating a boy to death. The boy had been picking on Diego for over a year. He finally crossed the line when the boy began yelling and screaming at him during lunch. The boy threw Diego's food on the ground, then picked some of it up and smashed it in his face. </p><p></p><p>Diego sat calmly at first. The kids that watched the ordeal said that Diego did in fact warn the boy that he needed to stop, before something bad happened. Witness' claim that the boy then hit Diego in the face with his lunch tray, bloodying his nose and promptly causing an eye to swell shut. </p><p></p><p>Diego was pulled off by three of the male teachers. The officers that came to see him said that he was defending himself, so no charges would be pressed. The school saw differently. </p><p></p><p>Diego gathered all of the money he had been saving through high school, and with help from his adoptive father, left for China. Diego spent the next 6 years in China, studying a rare form of martial arts in a place that even he was not sure how he got to. </p><p></p><p>It was quite by accident that Diego was "accepted" into this martial art school. He had simply been in the wrong place at the right time. Hunting in the wilderness, he came across a man wearing ragged clothing. The man looked as though he had been in the wild for quite some time. The man turned on Diego, sprinting (as fast as a man with a limp could) after him, a knife in hand. Diego raised his bow and fired, taking the man in the throat. </p><p></p><p>A short time after, a group of men emerged from the brush. They were a group of (for lack of a more Americanized word) bounty hunters. They hunted men for a living, usually for the government but occassionaly freelance.
