Very interested, but it will take a few days to pull together a character concept...

...disquieting...
There was no end to his patience and endurance. He played day and night, his obsession was somewhat disquieting. It was less as if he were playing to dispel gloom or beguile tedium than as if he were giving himself up to the fangs of gaming devils."

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.
Glad to see excitement building for this sure-to-be-awesome game.
I'm going to have to pull out; time crunch is building.

**Note: At present he has no gear, and the stats reflect this. I would assume scale armor, light shield, and jian (straight sword is his favorite, though he likes dao and greatsword as well), but Voda is the boss.

Channeling Chi
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.
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.
It's about a Chinese armor, from the Ming dynasty. I take that its properties will be much like a chainmail. You could use this instead of the scale armor. In the PDF there is a draw of the armor suit, but it's far more decorative than what you get in the imperial army.

First of all, your character will appear eventually. The time will depend on the speed of posting by the other players.
The alchemist idea is nice, but I don't have the material. If you could facilitate it, fine, if not:
A two weapon ranger will be nice, some sort of robin hood, fighting against the slave masters of the continent.
Oh, and we are kinda short in female characters, as you can see.
Later on I will provide more guidance.

Boss: Although Wang Chi looks fun to play, If you think a ranger would be more useful, I have another idea (stats can be up by tomorrow)
Tumogen was born a tribesman in the northern steppes. As a teen, he came to the empire as one of the families of ambassadors/hostages (in part at least) who helped to keep the peace with the northern tribesmen. He never much liked the city, but a veteran weaponmaster befriended the lonely young man, and trained him in the martial arts.
I am thinking of a mongol-type warrior who fights with two swords, is a decent bowman, and good horseman. Also a martial artist, to keep the tone of the campaign.
If you like, I can flesh him out.

Picture looks good. I will look for a possible alternative by myself (Ithought him a bit more alchemy and origami centric), but really looking forward your background notes
