Name: Reni Jikundi (Ren-I JI-Koon-DI)<br/>Race: Human<br/>Visual Age : 60<br/>Actual Age: 87<br/>(http://www.redtreesoft.com/yinyang/YY-TaiChi/Taichi-MasterChen.JPG)<br/>In all honesty, Reni is a little less asian than the man in this picture, and maybe five years younger in the face. He's a martial arts master, they all look the same anyway. (I was pumped about the yellow gi, honestly)<br/>Affiliation: The original leader of The Jikundi<br/><br/>Personality: His personality seems to morph, depending on the student he is dealing with. See, everyone is a student in Master Reni's mind, even if he wanders out of his own camp. With the gravity on par with a vampire, Jikundi attracts the world toward him in every place he may go. He lets himself go every few nights with other aged peoples in the towns, drinking wine and having conversation to lighten the stress on his shoulders. He is a fair master, unwilling to snap and torture his students. Rather, Reni takes them by the hand and guides them toward their goals. Sometimes landing them square on their ass is an important part of that process. There is always a warmth in his heart, and in the deep sockets of his eyes.<br/><br/>Back story: As stated in the game's introduction, Jikundi was a slayer before he started his own gym. He was raised far away from Anders, and fought his way west across the great wooded continent. He became a monk, and ran away from the sages in his mid thirties. After two years of his abandonment, they figured him to be dead. 'Just another male slayer, off to "change the world" again.' His goal was to better himself, he took the Sages lessons to heart. 'Our ancestors are depending on our determination, not our accomplishments.' He wanted to know every form of battle there was to know. He looked for ancient texts, and hidden masters. He has traveled the whole world, at least it feels that way to him. Once he discovered the forgotten art of tai chi chuan, his entire life changed. He incorporated the flowing movements into every one of his former styles and finalized his theory into four separate kinds of warfare. Sukodi Jikundi, Alunka Jikundi, Joriad Jikundi, and Depti Jikundi. He was sure that every technique in the world could be put into those four categories, and he has yet to proven wrong.<br/><br/>He was in the northwestern woods of Anders for five years while he mastered himself, the same place he teaches his students now. However, that was over three decades ago. So in the end his back story is a simple one: Reni Jikundi is the most experienced martial artist in the known world. And eight years ago, the Sages finally begin to take notice. His is one of the only male slayer legends worth telling.
