Backstory: Prior to turning 7 years old, your life was fairly normal and happy because of being raised by your parents, who were a famous power couple of superheroes from South East Asia. Your mother was Hanh Nguyen (Codename: Yin) a mutant super human of Vietnamese descent who had the power to manipulate decay and was born and raised by her superhero parents, while your father was Tristan Nguyen (Codename: Yang) a super human of Singaporean descent who had the power to manipulate freshness and was a supervillain called "Fresh Meat" who was redeemed by his love of your mom. On your seventh birthday, both parents were killed by a supervillain called "Tiger Stripe" (who was Chien Linh, a Vietnamese archenemy of your mom who could turn into a weretiger) that brutally mauled them both in front of your very eyes. Upon witnessing the grisly murder of your parents at the hands of this villain, you used your powers for the first time by eviscerating his soul as he was trying to attack you while you were in the middle of grieving. Broken and in critical condition from your wounds, with tears streaming down your face and the thought about how much you didn't want to die in your head, you felt weak from your injuries as you reached the nearest hospital before you passed out in the hospital entrance hall and through your clouding vision saw people rush towards you as you lost consciousness. You regained consciousness sometime later in the hospital all covered in bandages, as you were looking around your location you saw a pediatrician nearby who kindly asked you what happened to which you replied only to have cried as you got to the part where your parents died, after that you were comforted and nurtured until you fully recovered from your injuries and you were sent to an orphanage with all your stuff that remained after the massacre. In your first few days in the orphanage you met a 7-year-old Chinese Singaporean girl that you only knew by her first name Xiuying and as you were trying to understand your powers a thought came in on whether you could slice off body parts harmlessly followed by you thinking strongly on cutting her right pinkie exactly at the base where it connects to the hand which resulted in her finger detaching in that area along with a chopping and her saying "Ow!" Proving that the slicing hurts to use. You saw her understandably freak out at first in fear only to later turn into confusion as she realized she could still feel and control the disembodied digit to which you then explained to her you were the one who cut off her finger followed by apologizing for what you did and explaining what you understood about your abilities. After you told her your story while looking at the cross-section of her disembodied digit, she then asked if you could reattach it to which it did immediately after being pressed back into its place. Around a week after that, you grew curious about whether you could detach your own body parts, to which you started attempting and ultimately succeeding at doing the same thing you did to Xiuying on your left thumb. In the following month you did something a little more risky by detaching your bare right foot (that was at the time your original mild tan skin color at the top and almost white at the sole) just slightly above your ankle followed by you handing it over to Xiuying and then you asked her to go as far as she could with it and only start tickling your very pale sole when she feels she is far enough away from you to see if distance negates any feeling, a few hours later you found out that distance did not dampen any feelings at all as she was tickling your soft and smooth sole up a storm for hours on end and all you could do was helplessly defend yourself by curling your long toes as you could feel what felt like weeks of her tormenting your sensitive sole that as it became dark you could see her still assaulting your severed foot with tickles until she noticed you squirming on the floor in hysterical fits of laughter that continued for a few minutes after she stopped to which after getting back your composure you reattached your foot and let her in on what you discovered. You then took it the next level a few days later by doing the same experiment to prove that it affects others the same with you detaching her entire left leg (that is a warm ivory at the top and a rosy pinkish color at the sole) at the base of the hip and then tickling both her soft soles and behind her knee to which the results yielded the same as before complete with her in laughing hysterics. At Halloween you took revolutionary risks on your powers as "magic tricks" to impress the other orphans by first cutting Xiuying in half just above her cute innie navel on a table that yielded a cross-section that showed her internal organs proving it was no trick, you then following the rules of the "trick" tickled both her feet and about a few minutes afterwards put her back together in a way that ensures everything is properly reconnected and she is fully in one piece, after that you did one last trick where you first took off your shirt to prove you have nothing to hide and then decapitated yourself just above your neck as you suddenly saw the room spin until you hit a soft pillow to which you then spotted a familiar pair of legs in your line of vision that then shifted as you felt two hands on your head and you were being lifted resulting in seeing higher up your body until you saw the cross-section of your now headless body and you were then turned around to see that Xiuying was carrying you over to another of orphan who you politely greeted. This cycle of getting passed from one orphan to another continued for a while, so you had your headless body show off your contortionist level of flexibility, which was made all the easier without your head getting in the way. Around midway of getting passed from orphan to orphan, you felt Xiuying tickle your headless body's armpits (that are just as smooth and soft as your soles) as you were doing a backbend, even though you didn't expect this to happen you went with it, which resulted in you laughing the rest of the way while keeping your polite greetings as you were being passed down the rest of the way. As you got passed down to the last orphan, you felt your headless tickle torture cease, with a much shorter fit of laughter going on as Xiuying grabbed your head from the last orphan; you knew what would happen next as she reattached your head to your neck. As years passed you and your friend continued your "magic acts" until the fateful day at age 13 to which your friend Xiuying got adopted by a loving family and you remained unadopted for a rather lonely five years because of a combination of people being afraid of your cutting powers and you hiding your appearance so that you knew anyone who cared for you would be sincere. Unfortunately these two things instead resulted in some going as so far as to call you a "freak" which emotionally hurt way more than the pain you felt whenever you used your cutting powers on yourself and as you watched every other orphan around you get adopted made you feel lonelier and sadder as time went on which came to a head at age 18 to which you had to leave due to all the foster homes being full and resulted in you leaving what remained of your foster family behind. But there was a silver lining because you had proven yourself to be a prodigy at science and learning different languages. You got yourself enrolled in a year-long medical college which you passed and became a surgeon after graduating. After that, your life was stable but also kind of lonely due to all the scars of trauma leaving you with severe abandonment issues that even though you hid it well with your charismatic demeanor, you shifted your focus more upon your intellect, faith, and appearance over making friends out of a growing fear of feeling loss again. In the following month you let news of your surgical feats leak which eventually caught the attention of Jessica O' Hare who upon realizing the potential of your power went all the way to your home in Singapore to meet you and she then introduced herself to you and explained that she had never met a mutant super human before so she wanted to run some experiments on you as well as try to get a better understanding of your biology to which you obliged to help on both fronts since she appealed to your intellect. During experimentation, she used a syringe to extract your folly red blood so she could add some of your DNA to her serum that she would later use to give herself powers that were at least partially derived from yours. For understanding your biology, you helped her by using your powers to dissect yourself and found out some unique aspects to your biology that even super humans lack. She promised you that because of your compliance, she will find some DNA that can enhance your powers someday. You ended up in facility 2 after Jessica told them about you, to which, unlike the other super humans, you gathered your stuff and went with the agents with no conflict. When you met with Jessica again in the underground facility, she fulfilled her end of the promise by giving you a serum containing June's DNA to enhance your powers. You politely introduced yourself to everyone you encountered on the way to your new home.
