Whew! Mostly done... need to fill in the fleshy details now...  took forever to do pick and write down all those spells for the spellbook!  Now I remember why I prefer spontaneous casters!<br/><br/>Fully done!  YAY!   Looking forward to starting soon!<br/><br/>Han Jin Ke, Human Wu-Jen/Bard (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=203819)<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><em>A young mystic from the far lands of Kar-Tur, Han Jin Ke grew up a frail and delicate boy born into a proud martial Shou family.  Unsuited for the lessons of the sword and horse his father and brothers practiced, he was thrust under the tutelage of an eccentric hermit sorcerer meditating in the holy mountains of Shou-Lung.  However, his new master did not let the boy pursue a soft existence of studying scrolls, but rather forced him to perform repetitive tasks and chores, toughening him up and pushing the boy to feats of operatic kung-fu and acrobatics.  Jin's daily regimen became one of studying and reciting ancient lays and ballads while moving from the branches of bamboo trees and rocky crags of the rural mountains of Shou-Lung.  He grew into a slim but wiry young man, strong and quick, perhaps not the equal of his father and brothers, but a far cry from the weak boy that had been sent away.<br/><br/>Sent out into the world to refine and perfect his skills, to seek out and meditate upon what new knowledge and secrets he could find at beyond the boundaries of the Empire, Jin travelled for three years in both Kara-Turan and barbarian lands alike.  His passion became to unlock the secrets of 'mystic being' in names and essences.  He studied the spiritual, mental, artistic, and physical make-up of creatures and cultures across his travels.  He found the inherent power hidden inside the harmonics and rhythms of the material and planar, living and dead, humanoids and monsters.  Seeking deeper and deeper for the secrets behind creation and existence, he travelled upon a Dragon-vessel that sailed beyond the skies.  Exploring past the crystal spheres and phlogiston, he continued his exporations for another two years before his wanderings brought him to these lands where tales of an ancient tomb caught his interest.  His thirst for knowledge piqued, the tomb beckoned and he came...</em><br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><em>A slim young human in his early twenties, Jin stands 5'9" and presents a somewhat androgynous appearance.  His long hair is glossy black, and tied back in a queue that falls past the small of his back.  His eyes are dark and deep, pools of warm brown full of soul and thoughtfulness.  Yet he still has a vestige of his childhood frailty and delicate physique melded into his toned body.  In an attempt to assert a more manly appearance, he has grown out a handsome moustache and beard and adopts a warlike posture, clad in armor and wielding his ancestral sword.  He favors bold colors of red and gold, trimmed with blue and black.  He makes for a dashing and inspirational picture, like an ancient heroic adjutant or herald of legend.  </em><br/><br/>(http://www.chainandjane.com/image/chain/painting/picture36.jpg)
