About Wade Walton / Huli Jing
Bio:
How do the stories usually start? "He always knew he wanted to become a policeman." Or "his father was a detective, so he continues the legacy." Or maybe "his parents were killed and that's when he decided to fight crime."
Well, nothing that fancy for Wade. He had pretty average grades at school, and (barely) got a bachelor's in a law university. He worked as a paralegal for a bit, but it didn't worked out. Not Wade's cup of tea. So he entered a police academy. Long story short, he's in his thirties and a police detective in the City.
That's great and all, if it weren't for those things that happen all the time but no one seems to notice. But, let's rewind a year, back when it all started. The visions. People mistaking Wade for someone else. People obeying something he said as a joke. Sleepless nights as he thought he's going crazy. Until he met someone else who could do some strange things, and who for whatever reason explained a few things to Wade.
Back to the present. The upsides are great, for sure - literally feel the danger, trick someone to confess, stuff like this is priceless for a detective. Downsides however, are heavy. Who knows what the price is. Or who gave him the powers. Or thousand other things he doesn't know about.
