Three characters. I’m not sure which is female, but I want one to be female. One is Chinese, one Malay, one Indian. They are Singaporeans. They are crime fighters.
The Chinese is an ah beng type character, uncouth, loudmouthed, but very cultured. In kung fu that is. He the aggressive type, the fighter of the team. He is not the unthinking sort, but then he thinks nothing can’t be solved by some rough and tumble. He is well versed in his Chinese tradition, observing the customs and mythology to the dot, but he’s also a trendy teenager who wants to be cool. Often, these two worlds clash in him, and he is beginning to be annoyed at following tradition. He’s in love with an ah-lian, but every time he tries to ask her to be his stead, something crops up, most often it’s his call to duty as a crime fighter, and he begins to dread his crime fighting life because it keeps him from getting his girl. More and more he wants to tell the ah-lian his secret identity hoping she’ll understand, for if he delays any longer she will definitely fly away. She likes him and is annoyed at his not asking her out.
His relationship with the other two in the team is that of intense loyalty. He cares for them like brothers, and will fight fiercely for them. Occasionally he thinks the other two are a little lax in exterminating crime, but he’s yet to understand the full tao of balance between good and evil.
The Malay is a punk rocker, and irritably points out the difference when people call him a mat rocker.
