Wang Chao

Wang Chao is assigned to crew protection detail. His chaotic personality makes him as much of a threat to his allies as his enemies. Despite errors made in his youth, Chao managed to earn the trust of his team by organising the emergency evacuation convoy from the Daedalus and successfully protecting them against ex-members of the SDF.

How to play
Chao's job is to k̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶o̶n̶e protect the crew from the. Once the Mush have been eradicated, his job evolves into an expedition leader or turret runner based on his skillset. (He also makes for a great coffee barista, though he would not admit it.)

On the other hand he is first in succession for, and should be ready to inherit all of 's powers and responsibilities.

Core Skills

 * Chao's signature skill. For every 1 HP the target is missing, they will reveal one previous action. (If they are missing 5, you will see their last five actions etc.) A great way to confirm if that person really did get dirty repairing a door. Since it also reveals how much the victim is missing, it is also useful to check for shower and starvation damage. In fact, it is the only way to reliably check for the latter because Bloodletting allows mush to lose 2  at any time, thwarting starvation checks with the medikit.


 * The big brother of, this skill means you are always dangerous and ready to kick people around, as well as freeing precious inventory space. Almost a necessity if you want to get deeper than a few actions with without spending all your  on a single person. Just be careful you don't murder people 'accidentally'.

Secondary Skills

 * One of two skills that still benefit the crew once the Mush are removed. Does NOT stack well with a Mage Book in his case, since Chao cannot gain  from beds, unless you plan on getting the  bonus from.


 * The second skill that Chao can use to the ship's benefit. Provides better expeditions along with.


 * Combine this with or  to greatly improve your survivability. This also makes it significantly harder to convert you or transfer into you so it can be a good idea to pick this for that reason alone, especially if you have been confirmed as human.


 * A situational skill. Generally, it is better to just punch/shoot the guy.


 * As Chao, your role puts you in a good position to infiltrate the Mush hunt, while your trigger-happy style and occupation as can be used as an excuse to get rid of a few 'suspicious' humans - as long as you do not overdo it. When not 'hunting' yourself, your mobility makes you a good choice for odd jobs around the ship, giving you excuses to become  at times.


 * Mush Chao's greatest challenge is his lack of without nutrition from food, which will make things like a  rampage harder to pull off (yet still very effective!) without the aid of  - and you might need that skill and maybe  only to simulate gains from food, as the lack of sleep also makes it easier to estimate the amount of  you should have.


 * makes you very good in defense (e.g. able to guard a passage) especially in combination with damage reduction, Ian's or a 's Ceasefire.
 * The 1 damage from  kills people with "Injuries" rather than "Assassination". This can be used to mask a murder as an accident.

Useful tips

 * Being, Chao cannot gain from beds.
 * However, he can gain from Logistics and can thus actually have more  and  than most people if kept in a room with a.
 * Because Chao has a high potential to break something aboard the ship, people are more willing to kill him if he jumps the Blaster. Form or join a tribunal so you can have support when the death threats start flying.
 * Chao's bonus means he can ferry items around the ship more efficiently. Always check if there is something to take along.
