J.J. Chiang

J.J. Chiang, usually known just as "Chiang", is the youngest member of the Miyamoto Group and the only one to never affiliate with Clay Emmett. He works primarily as a shipping attendant.

Profile
Fourth generation Chinese-British, Chiang lived in Middlesbrough for much of his life, working as a video store attendant and "professional" pickpocket until late 2010. He attempted to phone a nearby restaurant to order a parmo, not knowing the restaurant had been closed down due to the owners dealing heroin on the side. Chiang was stalked by a crooked cop and happened to meet Pinhead Miyamoto waiting for a transfer flight in England. As this was right after the murder of Clay Emmett, Pinhead took pity on Chiang and brought him to America to train him.

While hiding out in America, Chiang works with loading smuggling shipments to and from trucks. He's paid extremely well, but provides primarily for himself by way of theft. It's not uncommon for him to leave a store with his pockets and satchel lined with food, cologne or videos.

Personality
Casually, he's brash and immature, and at work he's serious and silent but still very pushy. He has a thick Boro accent often peppered with profanity, which the gang hears plenty of when Robin's not around. He steals mercilessly from everybody but his boss and friends, sometimes up to hundreds of dollars of goods a day, but loves sharing stolen food with the gang. He has a huge fondness for chicken parmo.

Physical Appearance
Compared to the rest of Pinhead's immediate gang, he's rather short, but strong for his size as a result of working in shipping. His hair is always closely cropped into bangs but with heavy chin stubble he's attempting to make into a goatee. He predominantly wears dress shirts and slacks, along with an outlandish tie, as inspired by Pinhead's attire.

Design & Conception
Chiang was originally thrown in to add a bit of racial variety to Pinhead's gang, and was conceived as only appearing when it was necessary to make the gang look voluminous. In late 2011, Fauna became interested in the web series Teesside Tintin, in which Tintin episodes were cut down into profane parody segments acted by two Middlesbrough locals. Inspired by Nick Donnelly's blunt, loudmouthed version of Tintin, Fauna modelled Chiang after him.
