I'm not sure of the game's time period, but it looks like it's in the 30's. Currently there's no Chinese characters, nor are their characters who genuinely use the Spirit Shield or Bullet Shield mechanics in their abilities. I thought it'd be cool to merge these together.

Abilities:
Boxer: When activated, punches heal his bullet shield. If a punch kills a unit the bullet shield's maximum amount increases. Maximum expires within use of his ult or return to base. Stackable. At tier two, bullets that kill neutral units, not minions or heroes, also increases the maximum. At tier three, bullets that attack neutral mobs heals the bullet shield.

Chi: Health can be sacrificed over time to heal spirit shield. After the healing stops, the next punch or shot from gun pushes an enemy backwards. Distance is determined by spirit shield not fully healed and the enemy's already existing distance from him. Suns at tier two if enemy hits a wall. At tier three, the ability stuns immediately if the spirit shield is at or above 90%.

Possession: He ramps up movement to his sprint speed. Any health lost is converted to maximum spirit shield. The maximum is lost with his next ult or return to base. If no health is lost after three quarters of the ability's duration he gains punching range and punch damage. A tier two his rifle gains range after three quarters of the ability's time. At tier three, his rifle siphons spirit shield and bullet shield after the three quarters of the ability's time.

[Ultimate]
Release: Maximum Spirit and Bullet shield acquired from abilities are removed. His default shields are healed and allies around him gain a distribution of removed shields with the currently numerically lowest health allies receiving the majority. If no allies are in the radius, the ability gives him health regen.


Appearence: Traditional Qing garb possibly. I imagine a queue that being the hairstyle. His gun would be a winchester or spencer carbine with a shortened/sawed off barrel.

Lore:
Veteran and true believer of the Boxer Rebellion. After the collapse of the Qing, China turned into a mesh of Warlords, Communists, and Nationalists. This hero turned away from China hoping to find peace in his Taoist-Confuscian traditions elsewhere without interference of war or moral supremacists. He found a wife in Hawaii and almost settled down if it wasn't for a strange calling from the sea. Believing it was Mazu, god of the sea, he suddenly disappeared following a quest of hers all the way to San Fran. Founding a temple south somewhere in California, he eventually discovered his wife again poor and destitute. She had become mute, deaf, and blind. She could speak telepathically and sounded like the voice he heard of Mazu. Utterly confused, he tried to heal her only to watch her die in his arms. He has since explored various Chinese diaspora across California for an answer and eventually left for New York with a tip from an occultist that New York may have the answers.
