	Bao is a young child who has yet to live enough experiences in life. Being 
born without knowing who his parents were, Bao lived wandering China as an 
adventurer, a kid with no lead at all. His only hobby was found in playing video 
games at local stands to pass the time. Aside from that, there was no place that 
Bao considered to be "home". That was until Chin Gentsai, a respectful, but drunk-
propense old man, decided to adopt the child out of pity and good will. Thus, Bao 
finally stays at Chin's home with his wife.
	During the next few days, Bao begins to display enormous amounts of psychic 
power that he never had realized about. Before it could get out of control, Chin 
deems it neccesary that Bao should train with him in order to control such power. 
And thus, Chin introduces Bao to Kensou, his other adoptive student, and Athena, 
the reknowned Psycho Soldiers, fighters of justice! Bao quickly begins to get 
acquainted to his two new friends, whom he sees as his elder brothers. He gets 
particularly worried at the sadness of Kensou, who has began to lost his psychic 
powers. Being too young, Bao has yet to understand the real meaning of feelings.
	Bao is gladly admitted as the new Psycho Soldier for the new King of Fighters 
tournament in 1999. Bao accepts to do his best effort in the tournament, and not 
let his adoptove family down. Bao results to be quite a surprise, not just for his 
martial arts skills but for his impressive display of psychic powers. Added to that 
was his innocence and purity, and the fact he never fighted with hate or mocking in 
his attitude. The path of Bao leads him to follow Athena and the others into an 
underground passage in search of the hideout of the evil host of the tournament, 
Krizalid. Bao feels a little afraid, but doesn't want to quit out now. Suddenly, 
the whole passage begins to shake, and fall down in a hurry! Bao freaks out, and 
Chin tells him to run. Bao just runs and doesn't look back. He quickly escapes with 
Chin, but is worried about Kensou and Athena, who remain in the passage as it 
crumbles down. Bao wishes that nothing had happened to his dear friends. The 
heavens hear the child as Kensou bursts out of the ruins with his remaining psychic 
powers, carrying Athena in his arms. Bao suddenly feels a sting in his head, and 
passes out. It seems that Bao's psychic powers are somewhat bonded to those of 
Kensou's. Chin then reminds a passage of the "worst day in history", and wonders 
about Bao...the mysterious psychic boy.
	Bao doesn't let the feeling of hatred and vengeance displayed in some battles 
get to his heart. Being an innocent child, he is reluctant to such emotions. Bao 
looks at life as a precious gift, and is thankful for everything he has: his 
"grandfather" Chin, and his "elder brothers", Kensou and Athena. Despite being 
somewhat of a brat sometimes, Bao can keep his cool in extreme situations, and 
always bear a huge smile on his face. 

*Fun fact = Bao's outfit belongs to the typical Chinese communist uniform. Now, I 
don't know if Bao is conscious enough to realice that communism is pretty much dead 
these days, but hey...
