Summary

Name Yi-Min Yeh Aliases Sága Status Evolved Ability Toxin Synthesis Gender Female Birthdate December 29, 1980 Age 40 Height 5'2" Build Slight Eyes Brown Hair Black Residence The Kuíhuā Employment The Kuíhuā Parents Kuan-Lin Yeh (father, deceased) Pei-Shan Yeh (mother, deceased) Siblings Yi-Shan Yeh (twin brother) others (deceased) Marital Status Engaged to Kara Prince Children None First Scene Last Scene Profile Together, Yi-Min and her brother Yi-Shan were known as the twin terrors of the Chinese Vanguard. Unflinching in their loyalty, they helped to bring about the Flood that ended the world; it was only after the end that Yi-Min performed a sudden about-face, refusing to lose her little brother to the sacrificial pyre the Sentinel had prepared for all of their Evolved agents. Escaping the Sentinel by a thread, she, Yi-Shan, and the love of her life— Kara Prince— reclaimed a derelict Chinese military vessel and disappeared out to sea. Now, the tiny crew hunts the drowned world as a trio of raiders and fuel pirates. To this end, Yi-Min is particularly (in)famous for her liberal application of viper venom to the fencing blades she loves to use in close quarter combat.

Background

In this world, Yi-Min never killed her twin brother. The manifestation of her ability as a preteen was a quiet, harmless affair, one that involved dusting her bedroom with a modest amount of nitrous oxide (AKA laughing gas) rather than the much more lethal carbon monoxide. Nevertheless, she and Yi-Shan both recognized the danger inherent in the growth of such an ability, and the conclusion they came to lead them to join the Chinese Vanguard together when they grew older. They achieved some notoriety working as a pair in this capacity— as twins, they could almost instinctively tell what the other was thinking, and their Evolved abilities served as perfect counterparts to one another.

During Yi-Min's time in China, she met and fell in love with an American expatriate named Kara Prince. In spite of her devotion to her budding relationship, her mission remained at the forefront of her life up until its natural culmination. This was the point when she discovered that she was not, in fact, strong enough to bear the thought of losing her beloved brother to the Sentinel's orders, despite the pact they had made to accept death together.

Defecting at the last possible moment, she managed to escape with Yi-Shan and Kara at her side, and the three of them went into hiding amidst the silent waters of the world she had helped to destroy.

Psych Profile

The Yi-Min of this world cleaves no less fiercely than any other version to the fates of those she loves. Now that her connection to the Vanguard/Sentinel has been severed, these few individuals are all that she has left, and she has reshaped her dedication to their collective safety into the sole force that drives her. In a sense, she burns much more brightly than her Prime counterpart, for the shadows of her past deeds here loom much longer and much closer.

Now she must only look ahead, for behind her lies a path strewn with unformed regrets and madness.

Evolved Ability

Yi-Min's power and control over her ability is developed to a similar degree as that of her Prime self. Thanks to years of painstaking experimentation in order to determine the breadth of its strengths, limitations, and potential hazards, as well as her own knowledge of chemistry, she is able to wield the product like a scalpel to achieve the effects she desires. Just as in Prime, the Vanguard took advantage of many opportunities to utilize the destructive capabilities of her ability for their own ends.

The Kuihua

The Kuihua, as Yi-Min renamed it, was once a small missile boat in the service of the People's Liberation Army. In particular, it was one of the last Type 037 Haiju-class submarine chasers to ever be commissioned in the first decade of the 2000s, as well one of the four known Type 037s to receive extensive modifications (and so becoming known as the 'Type 037 Mod' so as to differentiate them from the base Type 037)— all sporting ASW (anti-submarine warfare) rocket launchers, a sophisticated sonar system, and an experimental adaptation of the automation system used on Type 074 landing ships to drastically cut down on the amount of human crew needed to operate the vessel.

Its glory days as a sleek military vessel were long over by the time Yi-Min, Yi-Shan, and Kara Prince stumbled upon its derelict shell off the coast of Fuzhou, with the majority of its weaponry systems too damaged for further use; two out of its four rocket launchers were missing entirely. However, they discovered most of its other vital systems to be intact, and with some work they were able to restore it to an approximation of its former seaworthy state. Crucially, the automated framework of the vessel allowed it to be operated within acceptable parameters by their little skeleton crew without the necessity of additional human hands.

It was Yi-Min who chose the new name 'Kuihua,' or 'sunflower'— for in their wanderings from east to west, their little boat has ever turned its face towards the guidance of the sun.
