> So to bring this all back on topic, then does UA need Jackie Chan?  Is he
just a guy with a high Body score, lots of hardened marks in violence/self,
and a phenomenal skill in Martial Arts and Take a Lot of Damage?  Or is he
some sort of avatar or adept (fleshworker?  got some help from a fleshworker
somewhere?)  Am I just rambling like a lunatic?

I don't know if UA needs Jackie Chan, per se, but in RL there seem to be a
whole breed of people interested in self-destruction for entertainment's
sake.  I doubt if it would support a School, but maybe an archetype like
"the Gladiator" would be appropriate.  I mean, there's Jackie, there's Mick
Foley and Mikey Whipwreck in Pro-Wrestling (Mikey, for those of you who
don't watch ECW, is Mick Foley with fire on top...), there's Tyson in boxing
(although he might have taken a trip (or three) to the House of
Renunciation,) and there's the whole extreme sports/Ultimate Fighting/bull
riding phenomena throughout history.  The line between entertainment and
sports hasn't been this thin since ancient Rome...
