Lithe and lissom is a small man of about 35 years. He is dressed in light, wide-cut black clothes and black-and-white cotton-sole shoes. His long black hair, shot with first grey, is bound in a braid and he sports a fine, pencil-thin beard. His attentive black eyes rarely miss anything. He carries himself with disciplined grace. His wide clothes and belt could easily conceal shuriken and daggers.
Background (w/spoilers)
Koryo of Tiger’s Rest
Koryo, an orphan by birth and raised from his earliest days to serve the Black Veil, only had one true friend in life – Daejo. Both were brought up in the same orphanage. Koryo and Daejo, both known for mischief and clever tricks they played on the other kids, almost as soon as they could walk on their own, were noted for their behaviour by the imperial housemaster of the orphanage and subsequently marked for special training to serve the needs of the empire. Where most orphans, depending on their disposition, end up either in military or administrative services of the Great Empire, both Koryo and Daejo were tried and tested and eventually ascended to a hidden school and monastery in the distant Shadow Cloud Mountains. This hidden, nameless monastery schooled and trained children in the arts of subterfuge, espionage and assassination. Those who survived and prospered became spies and assassins of the Black Veil.
Though life at the school was hard, merciless at times and many children failed to complete their training, both Koryo and Daejo prospered, even excelled in the ways of the Black Veil. Their childhood friendship grew into youthful camaraderie and competitive companionship. In time, both were initiated into the secret order, taking up the secretive work of the assassin’s order.
Koryo, ever the more driven and ambitious of the two friends quickly rose in rank and reputation. Daejo, though equally skilled, eventually found love and purpose in the arms of a beautiful woman. Eventually they married and had a daughter named Areum (아름; "Beauty"). Dark fortune came upon the two friends when Mastermind Tien died and ‘Mask’ took over the order. Daejo, sensing the cruel streak of the new head assassin urged Koryo early on to part ways with the Black Veil. Koryo, denying the subtle early changes within the ways of the assassins order persuaded his friend – and his family – to stay. But ‘Mask’ was a man of cruel and fickle temper. In a nefarious scheme to rid the Black Veil of traitors and disloyal man, Daejo, having talked about disbanding the order once to often, was singled out to be assassinated. Black-clad figures descended upon the humble town-house where Daejo lived with his family, outside the Black Veil’s monastery. Daejo and Koryo, who came aware of the assassination at the last moment, fought off the assassins, but not before a poisoned throwing knife took the life Daejo’s beautiful young wife.
Before sunrise, Koryo, Daejo and Areum where gone and well out of sight of the city. They fled to the eastern islands, fighting pursuers and robbers all the way. But even though accusations where never spoken, the death of Daejo’s wife stood heavy between the two friends. Having persuaded Daejo and his family to stay, Koryo couldn’t help but feel responsibility for the women’s death by assassin’s poison. Eventually, the friends parted ways and Koryo settled in Tiger’s rest, where he lived, many years, in the solitude of the large islands lush forests, thinking, meditating, and contemplating.
Eventually, Koryo slowly grew back into a life of sorts, taking up businesses with the people of the island. Still, now in his middle ages, still lithe and muscular from the daily exercises of demanding martial art forms, he remains a withdrawn man, reluctant to engage with people for fear of harming them unintentionally.

Lucky Leng is tall and bony, with callused hands and slighly lumpy features. He moves awkwardly and tends to duck his head a lot when speaking or entering buildings. He often has food stains down the front of his simple brown tunic.
Background
Leng was not an athletic child. Tall and clumsy, he could never seem to control where his limbs went, and often slipped in puddles, tripped over stairs, crashed into doors, or simply found himself prone for no reason at all. But for some reason, he never seemed to hurt himself badly in his misadventures, and he always got up with a smile. Master Jiem was always patient with his clumsiness, treating it as a passing annoyance rather than a crippling disability for a warrior. It was he who first called the boy Lucky Leng, since he never seemed to hurt himself.
Leng in turn idolized Master Jiem, who not only treated him as a young warrior rather than an incompetent, but also let him eat as much food as he wanted. Which was quite a lot; Leng never could seem to eat enough to fill himself properly. Even when he stuffed himself, he would be hungry again a short while later.
Leng continued to practice the old man's lessons slowly and carefully, which was the only way he could perform the exercises without toppling over or tangling himself up in the training weapons. Other children mocked his slowness, his clumsiness and his near-insatiable appetite, and occasionally beat him when neither Jiem nor (insert other character's name here) were around, but his body was toughened by his frequent accidents, and he never saw any reason to complain of the small scrapes and bruises from the beatings.
Not everyone in town was unkind to Leng, though. Mei Fu, the baker's daughter, always had a smile for the tall boy, and often left out a bag of scraps for him to find. Jiang Wu, the wise old woman who served as the town's apothecary, often tried to get him to wear bandages and poultices for his minor injuries, though he usually lost them the first time he went swimming in the island's lagoon. And, of course, there was (insert other character here). He was like a brother to Leng, always watching out for the younger boy and defending him from the meaner children. Most thought it was because they were both orphans, abandoned as babies on Master Jiem's doorstep, but Leng sometimes fancied that somehow, they would turn out to be brothers in truth, abandoned by the same mother. He never mentioned this, since the two boys looked nothing alike, and he did not want his secret hopes to be mocked. (Obviously, all of this is subject to the approval of the other player.)
Master Jiem's foresight and Leng's patience were rewarded when, as Leng neared manhood, his body's strength finally caught up with his height. Suddenly, all of the exercises that he had laboriously practiced for all those years took root. His movements became quick and strong, and because of all his slow, careful practice, his body naturally knew what to do even in the thick of a fight. Almost overnight, or so it seemed to him, he went from being a slow, awkward boy to a powerful man and one of Master Jiem's best students.
Leng has not quite adjusted yet to his newfound competence. He still thinks of himself as a clumsy boy, and hasn't really noticed that no one seems to want to try him in a fight any more. He has no real thoughts of the future, except to the extent that he has started spending more time with Mei Fu, much to the amusement of (other character).

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.

Background/History
Ban Lu was born under the signs of great turmoil. The local people were sure that his life would be filed with war, change and strife. This was enhanced by his eyes which were not exactly the same color and did not track exactly together. Even as a baby the green eye seemed to have an unnatural radiance and his penetrating stare was unnerving. His parents, simple people, did not feel they deserved such a special and blessed child. After considerable prayer with the ancestors they made a decision. At a young age they took little Ban to the monks of the yellow veil to learn and find his great destiny. There he became a warrior and mystic growing in both power and mystery.
The monks of the yellow veil are known by their compassion and and they will of teaching the common people about the ways of the gods. Your master, Kin Wu, was an old man, who Ban Lu quickly adopted as father. He thought Ban how to fight, how use a gun, and the most important thing: how to use the gift he had. The yellow veil monks are known by their skills in healing and their mystic powers related with it. As a young boy you manifested such powers.
One day, Glorious To, the emperor’s brother, and leader of the entire monastic order visited the temple where Ban lived. Ban was around 7 years old. Glorious To was wisdom’s personification despite his age. He was kind, honorable and fair in his words; he treated you and the others like his sons. His virtue was great, and he clearly had the god’s favor. He taught you all many things, and when he left he monastery, you were all wiser.
Kin Wu trained you in the use of your gift, and made you grow strong and mature wise and honorable. But Kin Wu’s time in the mortal realm was near it’s end. He died of old age, speaking his last words to you “My student… you made me proud… But I see a great destiny for you… far more relevant… You… you must go to the town of Dragon’s Gate, to the south… there you shall wait… you shall wait…” he expired after those enigmatic words.
The day after burying master Kin Wu you departed to the town of Dragon’s Gate, a seaside town, which economy based on the fishing activity and the taxes of the sea trading routes. You walked many days, meditating and contemplating the landscape in which you walked. You were well received in Dragon’s Gate, and provided guidance and healing to its inhabitants. He uses his gifts of healing to help the people, his aggressive teaching style to educate the youth and his often acid tongue to guide the village leaders to wisdom. Now in his mid-twenties, Ban Lu is well known for his firm hand and a stout Gun in dispensing education. The families for miles around send their most unruly children to learn wisdom from Ban Lu. Indeed merely the suggestion of such a course of education is now enough to lead many a disobedient child back to the path of enlightenment and respect for their elders.
Appearance/Personality
Ban is a large man in both stature and girth no doubt due to his fondness for rice, especially rice that has been made into beer or wine. Hair dark hair tends to stand out from his head like a lion's mane, an effect enhanced by his long sideburns and scraggly whiskers along the line of his jaw and chin. He wears the azure and saffron robes of a holy man and is quick to quote the tenets of great thinkers. The passages he chooses are often obtuse and can only be understood after careful meditation and consideration which is no doubt a testament to his great wisdom and not his love of drink as has been suggested by some of his students.
My name is Ziang Yu. I'm a scientist in the years that most call 'The Times of the Four Nations'. My mainsource of knowledge are old scrolls, written by ancienct alchemist. By now, I have collected three recipes: 'Blazing Oil', 'Draught of Life' and 'Grappling Tar'.
I finance my exporations by working for fancy nobles, lords, secret societies, crime lords, and the list is quite long. The things you make range from weapons to 'stamina' pills.
Everything was good, as I earned enough money to continue my researches. But then I took a contract with a noble to make a chair that propels itself forward. The noblemans father was too old to walk, and his temper didnt allow anyone to carry him in a wheel chair.
The ignorable cretins hurried my work and objected more tests. I was only mildly surprised that the test-run ended with the noblemans father joining his ancestors. I the end, I got my test-dummy...
In the accompanying smoke and confusion I made my way far from the reach of the noble's revenge.
That's how I ended here.
And what is your story?
Personality:
Proud and intelligent, shyness is not one of his flaws.
He is very inventive, but tends to repeat tactics, that sound 'good'.
("Perhaps it just was not enough blackpowder...")
In fights he prefers to use his arcane/alchemical formulas for ranged combat and to heal his companions.

Kaoru was brought on the island as an infant, by the same man that murdered his family. That man was stopped, and sadly, killed by master Jiem. Since then, Kaoru was brought up by the master, but was not trained in martial arts, even if he showed some promise.
Some could say that he was raised as a spoiled child, since apparently he had no duties, but that doesn't happens for two reasons: first of all, he always offers help to whoever is willing to accept it, and thus you can often see him working with other people. Besides, he has assumed the habits of a contemplative, often engaging in deep reflections about the nature of world and mankind with master Jien.
The second reason for which he is not called "spoiler brat" is simply that fact that everyone likes him: his open personality and merry smile often bring laughter to the most worried of minds. Women of all ages adore him, male adults appreciate his willingness to help and his maturity and the other students love his company. Even his few rivals and envy-holders have to grudgingly admit that "you can't dislike the man". Because of that, he often gets favors that other don't even dare to ask: for example, the other students built him a house even when no one asked them to do it.
While everyone knows that Kaoru seems to be gifted with strange abilities, out of politeness no one speaks about it, and he doesn't display it. He is gifted with the ability to commune with ancient spirits of the nature, and from the he draws inspiration and powers. He has never used them, but sometimes he has dreamed about using them in battle, and these dreams unnerve him.
When not helping someone else, he increasingly spends his time studying, and is well versed in history, philosophy and religion.
Although very often other people cook for him in exchange for his help, he often cooks on his own, especially bread: he always makes a lot of bread and offers it to the students of his master, for a pleasant rest. Then, he challenges someone at the lying game, and while he is exceptionally good at lying, he is poor in spotting lies.

background
Koryo of Tiger’s Rest
Koryo, an orphan by birth and raised from his earliest days to serve the Black Veil, only had one true friend in life – Daejo. Both were brought up in the same orphanage. Koryo and Daejo, both known for mischief and clever tricks they played on the other kids, almost as soon as they could walk on their own, were noted for their behaviour by the imperial housemaster of the orphanage and subsequently marked for special training to serve the needs of the empire. Where most orphans, depending on their disposition, end up either in military or administrative services of the Great Empire, both Koryo and Daejo were tried and tested and eventually ascended to a hidden school and monastery in the distant Shadow Cloud Mountains. This hidden, nameless monastery schooled and trained children in the arts of subterfuge, espionage and assassination. Those who survived and prospered became spies and assassins of the Black Veil.
Though life at the school was hard, merciless at times and many children failed to complete their training, both Koryo and Daejo prospered, even excelled in the ways of the Black Veil. Their childhood friendship grew into youthful camaraderie and competitive companionship. In time, both were initiated into the secret order, taking up the secretive work of the assassin’s order.
Koryo, ever the more driven and ambitious of the two friends quickly rose in rank and reputation. Daejo, though equally skilled, eventually found love and purpose in the arms of a beautiful woman. Eventually they married and had a son named Areum (아름; "Beauty"). Dark fortune came upon the two friends when Mastermind Tien died and ‘Mask’ took over the order. Daejo, sensing the cruel streak of the new head assassin urged Koryo early on to part ways with the Black Veil. Koryo, denying the subtle early changes within the ways of the assassins order persuaded his friend – and his family – to stay. But ‘Mask’ was a man of cruel and fickle temper. In a nefarious scheme to rid the Black Veil of traitors and disloyal man, Daejo, having talked about disbanding the order once to often, was singled out to be assassinated. Black-clad figures descended upon the humble town-house where Daejo lived with his family, outside the Black Veil’s monastery. Daejo and Koryo, who came aware of the assassination at the last moment, fought off the assassins, but not before a poisoned throwing knife took the life Daejo’s beautiful young wife.
Before sunrise, Koryo, Daejo and Areum where gone and well out of sight of the city. They fled to the eastern islands, fighting pursuers and robbers all the way. But even though accusations where never spoken, the death of Daejo’s wife stood heavy between the two friends. Having persuaded Daejo and his family to stay, Koryo couldn’t help but feel responsibility for the women’s death by assassin’s poison. Eventually, the friends parted ways and Koryo settled in Tiger’s rest, where he lived, many years, in the solitude of the large islands lush forests, thinking, meditating, and contemplating.
Eventually, Koryo slowly grew back into a life of sorts, taking up businesses with the people of the island. Still, now in his middle ages, still lithe and muscular from the daily exercises of demanding martial art forms, he remains a withdrawn man, reluctant to engage with people for fear of harming them unintentionally.

My name is Ziang Yu. I'm a scientist in the years that most call 'The Times of the Four Nations'. My mainsource of knowledge are old scrolls, written by ancienct alchemist. By now, I have collected three recipes: 'Blazing Oil', 'Draught of Life' and 'Grappling Tar'.
I finance my exporations by working for fancy nobles, lords, secret societies, crime lords, and the list is quite long. The things you make range from weapons to 'stamina' pills.
Everything was good, as I earned enough money to continue my researches. But then I took a contract with a noble to make a chair that propels itself forward. The nobleman’s father was too old to walk, and his temper didn’t allow anyone to carry him in a wheel chair.
The ignorable cretins hurried my work and objected more tests. I was only mildly surprised that the test-run ended with the nobleman’s father joining his ancestors. I the end, I got my test-dummy...
In the accompanying smoke and confusion I made my way far from the reach of the noble's revenge.
That's how I ended here.
And what is your story?
Personality:
Proud and intelligent, shyness is not one of his flaws.
He is very inventive, but tends to repeat tactics, that sound 'good'.
("Perhaps it just was not enough blackpowder...")
In fights he prefers to use his arcane/alchemical formulas for ranged combat and to heal his companions.

Judging by his height, Kaoru is clearly a man in his early twenties, but his carefully shaved and soft, almost baby-like face, and his usual merry smile make him look a lot younger. He carries long raven-black hair and his brown eyes. He wears simple white and green clothes.
