Sorry, I posted yesterday -- or thought I did. When I look now, there's no trace of that post. I'll see if I can find it again, and just retype it if I can't.

Ok, I will be waiting for you to tell me when to post.

By the way, being human gives me an additional at-will power, but I can chose nothing else, as they are reserved for star pact and infernal pact. Ideas?

Doing a little research on a cleric character and I had a thought. The chain mail armor doesn't make a lot of sense in the china setting. I humbly suggest the Shin Wen Kia or Mountain Pattern armor as a functional equivalent of chain mail. Here's a link:

http://www.armourarchive.org/essays/Shanwenkia.pdf

I'll try to get some more character thoughts up in the morning.

Well that seems like quite of a strong armor for a town healer don't you think? As I told you before its up to you. If you wish to use an imerial armor, then your character will appear later on in the game. If not, then you'll start sooner, and the palce for an imperial character will go to Hefdan.
So its up to you Scotley, as you came here first its yours the right to decide which one you would like to play: a town healer (think of something like this) or an imperial cleric (someting like the white guy in this picture)

Guess I got a little carried away trying to match cleric abilities with Chinese historical fact. The character I have in mind wouldn't fit the imperial mold. Here's what I have in mind...

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 (?) to learn and find his great destiny. There he became a warrior and mystic growing in both power and mystery. He had a gift for healing and desire to teach and lead other men. Upon attaining a certain level of maturity and wisdom he was sent out into the world to provide guidance and healing to the people of (?) village. 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.
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.

I'm thinking his powers will focus on radiance and astral radiance will be one of his feats.

Helfdan, be sure to read the story in the first thread to get the feeling of the empire status. I'll give you and scotley aditional information in the future about that topic.


Scotley, here are some needed background notes for your character
Scotley
As a young boy, you were lef in the Monks of the Yellow veil’s monastery. 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 you quickly adopt as father. He thought you how to fight, how you use a gun, and the most important thing: how to use the gift you 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 you lived. You were 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 leaved the 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. You made yourself a name, as master monk, and many families send their children to stay under your tutelage.

This looks so cool. I am thinking, of course inspired by CT/HD's main character, of making the imperial character a paladin. But instead of following a god, he would be a follower of the way of the sword.
To add the martial arts training, I would take the student of the sword "multiclass feat", which would then let him take fighter powers/paragon paths (if we get that far, but in terms of inspiration, he'd be looking to be a kensei)

Glad you liked it.
Please remember I'm quite unexperienced in you language, so please don't use things like this "CT/HD". Instead, write down the entire words. Easier for me
As for the multicalsing, I see no problem with that feat. Although I hope you gain 5-7 levels. This will be a long game. Or at least I hope it to be.

Before combat starts:
I like the IC descriptions of the combat actions, but a OOC note about the exact power and the link with the results of the rolls is something I would like to see too (something like: Bandit attack: 8+3: 11 ). As I said early, I'm not very familiar with the language, so give me a hand on this


I know I'm annoying.

I meant cruching tiger hiiden dragon

Anyways, although it'll probably take them a while to reach a city, I'll be submitting the character in the next day or so.
