<strong>Name:</strong>Wu Kuai<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>20<br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Male<br/><br/><strong>Kingdom:</strong>Xiao<br/><br/><strong>Societal rank or occupation:</strong>Scoundrel Fangshi (wandering exorcist)<br/><br/><strong>Weaponry:</strong>Travellers staff, willow sword, dagger.<br/>A willow sword is an exorcist's most valued possession, his weapon of last resort against supernatural creatures. By breathing his Yang energy into the wood and following the proper rite, the exorcist can transform the sword into a powerful weapon able to injure even ghosts and formless spirits. The sacred weapon can cut through the hide of any supernatural creature, and injure even those creatures invulnerable to normal weapons.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong>Wu Kuai has leaned to use Chi in order to practice the Fangshi's arts. As well as imbuing certain items such as willow sword, mirror and bell with his Chi, he is able to use it to heal wounds in himself or others (though this can be quite draining, depending on the severity of the wounds).<br/>Lastly, he has learned to channel his Chi through his own body, enhancing his abilities. This allows him to remain comfortable in all but the most extreme weather (the kind that would kill anyone else), and allows him to move faster than most people, and leap impressive distances, all of which are valuable skills in combating supernatural creatures whose abilities outstrip those of normal mortals.<br/><br/>Blessings of Fu Xing (God of Fortunate Aspect):<br/>The laws of probability seem to laugh at Wu Kuai. If a tile drops from a rooftop, he'll be the one under it. If a girl is running from someone, and runs around a corner, he will be the one she runs into. If a set of dice in a seedy tavern game decide to pick that moment to roll the best possible result 6 times in a row, he'll be the one  throwing them.<br/>In a previous life, Wu Kuai was a great hero. Fu Xing wants to help him become the hero he is meant to be, so keeps nudging Wu into 'heroic' situations. However, since in all things there must be a balance, this means he gets more than his fair share of adversity. But overcoming adversity is what makes a hero, right?<br/><br/><strong>Special attacks:</strong>Power of the Sun: With his specially prepared Mirror, Wu Kuai is able to unleash rays of pure light, which are anathema to the unquiet dead and similar creatures of darkness.<br/>Pressure point strikes: Used to weaken or paralyze an attacker<br/><br/><strong>Fighting style:</strong>Liang Yi Quan - Veteran<br/>Wu Kuai, when he must fight, prefers not to kill. His practice specializes in the striking of pressure points to weaken or paralyze a foe, bringing an end to the fight without loss of life.<br/><br/><strong>Mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong>(physical description here, may use picture along with description but it must be linked, not embedded)<br/>http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e3/Ckf32.jpg<br/><br/>Wu Kuai is of average height and build, though his life keeps him in good (if frequently sore) physical condition. His hair would reach halfway down his back if loose, but he tends to keep it bound up, as it is less likely to get in the way then. His skin shows the complexion of one who spends all day outdoors, and frequently in all weathers.<br/><br/>He wears a much abused black chang pao, marked with mystical symbols, and worn by countless miles of road and encounters with supernatural creatures. He has been able to repair the worst of the damage done to it, but would hardly be appropriate for a courtly encounter. The rest of his clothing is equally worn, though he does keep a spare tunic in his pack for the odd occasion he has to make some sort of official meeting. He carries his six demon bag in which he keeps the tools of  his art, along with herbs, potions and assorted other strange items.<br/><br/>His willow sword is strapped at his back, his dagger at his belt, and his staff in his hand as he walks along.<br/><br/>in my heart of hearts: Wu Kuai is a firm believer in hard work, at least when it is being done by other people. He would much prefer a quiet, easy, comfortable life. Instead he roams the countryside, saving people from ghosts and monsters, and asking himself ten times a day just how he ended up in such a situation.<br/><br/>He is fairly friendly and easy going for the main, but when dealing with a crisis it almost seems another person has taken his place. Fu Xing would say, if anyone were there to listen, that this is Wu Kuai's true nature coming to the fore, and simply needs more encouragement to remain there.<br/><br/>Wu Kuai would have a lot more colourfull things to say about said encouragement, as it usually ends up with him battered, bruised, bleeding and exhausted.<br/><br/>He is loyal to his friends, though as a wanderer, he finds it hard to keep those.<br/><br/><strong>My dark past: </strong>Wu Kuai has a hundred stories about his past, some of which may even be true. He claims to be the illegitimate son of a high noble from his country, raised by monks in a temple to protect him from jealous family who would seek his life, and others who would seek to use his blood to replace his family in their position of power. He also claims he can see spirits, read the future and drive away angry ghosts.<br/><br/>He says quite a lot of things. Some of which may even be true.<br/><br/>After leaving the monestary where he was raised (left there as a baby by a hard faced man who then vanished into the night), Wu spent several years wandering the lands, doing odd jobs and menial work. Not having the coin for a room for the night, he took shelter from a storm in a 'haunted' ruin (the villages told him not to, but would he listen?). It was not to be a quiet night.<br/><br/>It started with the arrival of a crazed old stranger (a venerable Fangshi), and was rapidly followed by assorted antics with a love lorn ghost, assorted unquiet dead and a hopping vampire. Come the morning, he had had a crash course in the Fangshi's arts, and was gifted with his 6 demon bag, which also contains the slightly deranged journal of his 'master', who made him swear to continue the Fangshi's noble calling, because 'his chi is strong'. Ever since that time, he has Fu Xings gaze upon him, and life has never been the same since.<br/><br/>Wu Kuai is not above occasionally 'finding' a ghost, unquiet spirit or similar issue in a village, but only if he has not had anything to eat in a few days.<br/><br/><strong>Plot line:</strong>(Is your character directly participating in the main plot?
