Hello guys! I'm new to system games, this is my very first one.  Be gentle with me please (only kidding, I look forward to kicking butt wuxia-style here just as much as any of you guys :D)<br/><br/>Thufir I hope you don't mind that I used your character sheet as a template. Yours was so full of awesomeness. O.o  I was just a little bit confused (okay, a LOT confused) so needed all the assistance I can get. :P  Thanks Hairy for your help!<br/><br/><br/><br/>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/aag567/Role%20Playing/FenZhuinvillage3.jpg)<br/><br/><br/><br/>Fen Zhu (“fragrant bamboo")<br/>Wandering mercenary with no past<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Description</strong><br/>Of average female height and slender build, with luminous dark eyes and long silky hair left flowing over her shoulders after having to sell her jade-studded combs, and wearing a simple white shift, Fen Zhu travels from village to village, searching.  For what, she did not know.  Even her name was not her own, given to her by the farmer whose family and farm she had saved from a group of marauding bandits known in the region as the Rat Fangs.<br/><br/>Her stunning skill and grace with the bamboo that the farmer used as a walking stick leveled all five of the invaders, and with her fragile beauty, earned her the name.  She could not tell him how she had acquired this fighting skill, nor could she tell him and his wife how she had come to be found unconscious in the woods on the edge of their farm.  Her mind was a tormented blank.<br/><br/>Soon after the defeat of the bandits who had raided and terrorized the farms and villages in the area, her fame spread, and soon she wanders the countryside with her bamboo, finding welcome in villages needing her services, and receiving nothing more than the sustenance of their kindness and whatever handfuls of rice they could spare her.  And in her travels, she searched for answers--- who she was, where she came from, and what the meaning was of the intricate mark branded into the skin of her right hip.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Aspects</strong><br/>Metal 3<br/>Water 4<br/>Fire 2<br/>Wood 2<br/>Earth 3<br/><br/><strong>Gift and Weakness</strong><br/>Sharp senses, Immaculate beauty / Amnesiac, Curiosity of the Rat, Disgrace of Fu Xing, Lookalike<br/><br/><br/><strong>Chi</strong>: 24<br/><strong>Passive Defence</strong>: 8<br/><strong>Balance</strong>: 3<br/><strong>Resistance</strong>: 6<br/><strong>Breath of Life</strong>: 17 (6/5/3/2/1)<br/><strong>Renown</strong>: 4<br/><br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>Bangshu (stick)  1 (1 point) => 2 (16XP)<br/>Improvisation 2 (4 points)<br/>Acting 2 (4 points)<br/>External Alchemy 1 (1 point)<br/>Acrobatics 1 (1 point)<br/>Horsemanship 2 (4 points)<br/><br/><strong>Taos</strong><br/>Tao of the Thousand Bees (level 1/1 point)<br/>Tao of the Breath of Power (level 3/10 points)<br/><br/><strong>Combat Techniques</strong><br/>Bangshu (stick):<br/>Level 1<br/>Double Blow (1 XP)<br/>Level 2<br/>Knock-out (4 points)<br/>Level 3<br/>Combination (10 XP)<br/>
