Shang Liu

Shang Sun Chen Liu, aka Shang Liu, is a character role-played by BaRKy.

General Description
Shang Liu is a Hangaround for the Bondi Boys MC.

Overview
Shang Liu is a figure supposedly hailing from Shenzhen, China. Not much is known about him aside from his strong distaste for electric cars, people who take issue with his culture, and Japanese things.

Appearance
He has an spade tattoo under his left eye, a self-drawn fish on his neck, and is rarely ever seen without his signature circular John Lennon glasses on, fully believing that they look cool.

He is described as having a smile that's too large for his face, with 'too many teeth for his mouth'. He is rarely, if ever, seen not smiling, having been remarked by the PD as someone who will probably even die with a smile plastered on his face.

He has a thick East-Chinese accent, yet claims to never hear it unless someone makes fun of him for it, in which case he may swear at them in Cantonese.

Personality
Shang will start dancing at random, normally imploring others to get involved wherever possible, and typically providing the 'music' with his own singing. It's unclear why this happens, though he claims it to be a medical illness.

Shang is a happy-go-lucky character, preferring to attempt to talk his way out of situations and playing dumb to suit his agenda.

Shang either has a terrible memory, or chooses not to care about names, and so assigns everyone a nickname that is simply their most blatant character trait, combined with some part of their name.

Shang's dream is to be the freest person in the world.

Backstory
Seemingly preferring to make up his history on the spot, Shang has thus far given a recorded twenty-seven different origin stories for his life whenever asked about it, stating that if his history was a test he'd prefer it to be multiple choice.


 * Born to Atlantean mer-people, on an island comprised of wrecked ships. They were all beautiful, and Swedish models that fell in love with him.
 * Was conceived as the first USB cable but was thrown out in favour of USB 2.0 as Shang kept falling asleep and the researchers wanted a non-human cable, leaving him with the ability to charge his phone by simply touching it.
 * Was created as a cyborg when scientists wanted to recreate Street Fighter in real life (and Chun Li was his girlfriend).
 * Was born in the Hunger Games, and eventually took part in them (and Katniss was actually his girlfriend).
 * Secret child of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. (Curiously, neither of whom are Chinese)
 * Created when the US government mixed up a coyote's blood with South African boomslang venom, making him half Chinese, half coyote, half snake-venom.
 * Was working on the docks in Shenzhen when he knocked his head and fell into a shipping container full of Nintendo Switches. For three months he survived purely by consuming the Nintendo game consoles and eventually woke up in America, claims to be at least 20% 'Nintendo' and 15% Link.
 * Was the snake in the Garden of Eden but didn't like the taste of apples so he only took one bite (and Eve was a Swedish runway model and his girlfriend).
 * Broke his way out of the Tron world and is now a computer program, living in this reality.
 * Was born as a replicant and so has to hunt down other replicants (and was dating Ana De Armas for some time).
 * Parents were "copium" farmers back in China.

So far it's unclear if any of these are in anyway factual.

Life In BBMC
Shang Liu met Barry Benson when he received a phone call from him in prison requesting a taxi ride. After Shang broke into prison multiple times to deliver Barry items he needed during his 30-year sentence for treason. Shang stated he simply broke into prison for fun, though there were hints that he was doing it because he enjoyed TJ and Barry's presence.

On the 13th of September 2023 he was invited to complete the BBMC Hangaround Challenge, to make $75k illegally, and deliver it to Barry. Shang convinced Barry to take him on as his own personal jacket, an extremely rare occurrence within the club. On the 14th of September 2023 he was accepted as a Hangaround, after breaking into prison and delivering the money to Barry.
