—Chow, Starship Troopers: Invasion | ||
Lance Corporal Chow was a technical expert for A-01 Team. He was a solitary but competitive individual. Chow was a mechanical specialist and martial arts master. He was quiet like a Zen master but very competitive.[1]
History[]
Chow joined the rescue mission to Fort Casey along with the A-01 team. After the troopers were evacuated from the fort to the FAS Alesia, he practiced martial arts in his spare time in the hanger and fellow A-01 members Chase and Mech watched him. When Ratzass saw Chow, he began mocking Chow by performing a short version Fouette en tournant. Chow was then told the "dance class" was down the hall by Ratzass. He challenged Ratzass to a fight. He was largely successful at first by dodging most of Ratzass's attacks, including sending him into a crate of boxes. When Chow decided to finish Ratzass with a kick to the head, but Ratzass, who was encouraged by Ice Blonde, blocked Chow's kick and grabbed his leg, giving him a solid punch in the face. The fight ended up with a draw and everyone present laughed.
A while after, Chow joined the mission to search the missing John A. Warden.
He was assigned to the Team-02 along with the K-12 troopers and some from the A-01. A while after the John A. Wardern was found, Chow was ordered to reactivate the John A. Warden's engines but inadvertently releasing the Bugs. He is able to kill many Warrior Bugs, even knocked down one with bare hand. However, he was soon stabbed by another Warrior from behind and killed while the Bugs pursued the rest of the Roughnecks troopers. Starship Troopers: Invasion
Notes[]
- "Chow" is usually the Romanization of the Chinese surname "周" (Chou¹) or "趙" (Chao⁴, which is close to its pronunciation in Invasion) from Cantonese pronunciation.
- Coincidentally, "Chow" also means "to eat" and the word has been used for few times in the novel.
- Chow is possibly a nod to Shujumi, also an Asian martial artist from the novel Starship Troopers.
- Chow's personal mark on the helmet is "拳" (Chüen2 or Quán), a Chinese character meaning "fist".
- Chow is the first trooper on screen who fights a Warrior Bug and defeat it using only hand-to-hand combat.
