Background:

Wang Chi was born to an ancient family, with a history of distinguished service to the empire. Many philosophers, poets, and generals have been numbered among his ancestors. As a child, Chi was a quick learner, and quickly mastered the basics of calligraphy and music. He wished, above all, to be a monk and philosopher, and attain enlightenment through meditation and learning. However, as the fifth son of his house, he was not deemed worthy of such. He was duty-bound to join the Imperial Army. At first the sensitive, thoughtful lad was unhappy with this. But he soon discovered hidden reserves of strength, and the aptitude to lead others in battle. Although quiet, he was well-liked by his peers, as he never shirked hard work, and led by example, taking the hardest task for his own.
His greatest surprise was that as he spent hours in combat practice – whether unarmed, or with dao, gun, quiang, or jian (his preferred weapon) – he began to know himself better, and understand the teachings of the priests. To this end, he would practice far into the night, his heart soaring as he walked the path to enlightenment. For he knew that his skills could be used to defend as well as to harm, and it was thus he was meant to use them. He feels most fortunate to have trained with his master, who was once a disciple of Lu Ian Sin, the Dancing Sword.
Thus, at the age of 23 years he is an imperial officer, a title that invests him with honor and glory, and one that he carries with pride. But he has yet to know the greatness of his forebears, for how does catching a chicken thief compare to winning a battle against horse-nomads? He was assigned to the distant village of Iron Hill, a town built at the feet of the grey-picked Iron Mountains. The town itself is small and scattered, many of it’s inhabitants live of husbandry and mining in the mountains. As his master once said: “Where there is nothing to steal, there will be no crime, and people will live in the peace of the poor.” A blunt statement for an imperial officer, but truth, nonetheless. This town is more peaceful than the seven heavens themselves.

Appearance: Chi is of above-average height, and lean but solid. He is made of wiry muscle, and walks with a swordsman’s grace. Much stronger than he looks. He is clean shaven and keeps his hair short, in military manner. His handsome features are almost gentle, and his light brown eyes appear thoughtful. But in battle, he appears supremely focused, and his features turn grim.
