Well, I've looked over the rules a bit more, and(perhaps more importantly) watched some old wuxia movies for inspiration, and I think I shall be making a White Lotus Shaman. I just love the idea of slapping paper talismans on zombie heads to freeze them in their tracks. I'll put down my character info tonight or tomorrow(as soon as I'm done making it).
I shall play Xiagei Song(Zha-Gu-ay Sahng), priest of the White Lotus.
Description:
Xiagei Song will be played by the esteemed Chow Yun Fat, if you guys don't mind.
Song will wear a muted yellow Changbao, with loose, white pants. He keeps a long moustache and beard. He has not cut his facial hair for many years.
Background:
When Jianmin ate the Lotus Blossom, Song was but a poor, fat, bumbling student of the ways of the White Lotus. In the following days, his master succombed to the advances of a demon spirit known as Kum Bei. Kum Bei demanded that he and his minions be allowed to possess the bodies of Song's master and his four pupils, and that in return, the five would be saved from the hunters Jianmin set upon them. The demons were true to their word in that the five were never caught, but the demons possessing them did great harm upon the people of the Heavenly Kingdom. The five were helpless against their demon masters, all except Song. Song had seen his demon host slay and reanimate his entire family, and Song's rage burned as a righteous fire. A year ago, Song's fire was enough for him to burst free from his demon possessor, and banish that evil spirit back to hell. Song knows he can never truly make up for the evils he and his colleagues have caused in the years since their possession, but he does his best to help people just the same. He now travels the land, doing his best to save people from any harm that might befall them. Song yearns to free his master and his three colleagues from the demons that possess them.
