The first part of the song by Tommy Shaw (of the STYX) called What If? (Remo's Theme)

REMO

Occupation : assassin - in - training	Age - around 50 (looks 30)
Base of operations - USA	Weapon of choice : hands

Remo was a New Jersey cop who was "recruited" over 20 years ago to be the enforcement arm of another secret agency called CURE. Remo's job is two-fold - first he is to carry out missions against enemies of the Constitution by assassinating said enemies (another CURE agent described the job as "The 11th Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Get Away With It"). Second he is to train with Chiun to become the next master of Sinanju when Chiun retires. Remo's combat skills are second only to Chiun's and his Sinanju training gives him complete control over his body, letting him accomplish near - impossible feats with ease.

CHIUN

Occupation : Master of Sinanju (Assassin)	Age - over 100 (looks 60)
Base of operations - Wherever he wants	Weapon of choice : hands

Chiun is the Reigning Master Of Sinanju, which means he is the Master of the martial art Sinanju and the protector/provider for the small Korean village of Sinanju. Masters Of Sinanju serve as assassins to Emperors and Kings to earn gold to send home to Sinanju. Chiun works for "Emperor" Smith (don't bother trying to explain that Smith is not an Emperor, Chiun won't hear of working for a non-emperor) and trains Remo to be an assassin. In Chiun's mind, the Masters Of Sinanju are the only true assassins, all others are simply paid killers. If Chiun decides to kill someone, the target may as well make out a will. Although Chiun looks old and frail he is still the most deadly human being alive.

NOTES ON THE SINAJU DISCIPLINE
The Sinanju discipline of martial arts (referred to as the "sun source") is based primarily on making full use of the mind and body. Sinanju teaches how to breathe and move "correctly", and in doing so unlock the full potential of the human body. It is a martial art which takes decades to master but which outstrips all other known disciplines. A master of Sinanju can conrtol his body better than the best psi with "Self Control". A master of Sinanju becomes so in tune with his his environment he can move across dried leaves without sound and avoid security cameras by sensing the electricity that makes them operate. Masters of Sinanju can scale smooth surfaces by gripping with their pores and can manipulate the nerves in a persons body to achieve almost any pain/pleasure/paralysis effect. Masters of Sinanju know when people are armed and/or hostile by the way the move and breathe. They can move in such a way as the human eye doesn't register them as a moving object, they can dodge bullets by hearing the persons finger tighten on the trigger and reacting just before the bullet is fired, and they can survive without air for hours at a time.
The complete bodily control granted by the discipline renders them immune to poisons and slows the ageing process. They are also capable of incredible acts of strength by using an objects own mass against it (bending steel is easy for Sinaju).
In game terms have abilities equivilant to the Psionic power SELF CONTROL and may use them at a level equal to thier Sinanju skill. No WKP are used for these abilities.
Unfortunatly very few people are capable of learning Sinanju (currently only 4 fully trained Sinanju masters exist) and an ageing Master of Sinanju is expected to seek out and train his replacement no matter how long it may take. Remo is also (unknown to him) the avatar of the old god Shiva, the Destroyer. If Remo should (by some miracle) be slain, Shiva takes control of Remo's body and deals harshly with whomever has dared defile his avatar, after which he restores Remo to life (sans memory of Shiva's possesion).
