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.

Great Helfdan, feel free to post him in the RG. Tomorrow I'll get Wang on the Ic thread

I will do. But I don't know if I will have much time this weekend.

How much money do I get? Standard (one level 3, 2 and 1 item and gold equivalent of a level one item?)

[Voda Vosa]

WD

You have 300 gold pieces to spend in any items you wish. Weapons are limited to the ones we mentioned erlier plus axes and simple weapons. The armor should be non metallic

VV

Thanks, crossbows are ok? There were many different chinese crossbows, and they are simple weapons. Ziang will wear protctive leather clothing -> Leather armor.

[Voda Vosa]

Yes you can have one. All crossbows are there to buy, even repeating ones.

[Voda Vosa]

Well lads, I'll need some feed back: how are you feeling with the game so far? suggestions? Did you liked the maps? Can you suggest anything to change them for good? Do you like the descriptions of the places? or they seem to short or too long? Is my english as bad as I feel it is? :P

[Walking Dad]

Am I supposed to read anything in the IC thread? I normally would when I'm joining an ongoing game, but the thread is spoilerblock heavy.

[Voda Vosa]

No, you should not read what's in the spoiler block. You'll eventually be able to read it, when you meet the characters and they tale their adventures. For now you must read only the ones that have your name on it, since you haven't still started, well I'm afraid you can't ready anything, lol.

[Scotley]

There are maps? I must have missed them in the sblocks. I'm only a few posts in, but so far I'm very pleased. I look forward to meeting the other characters.

Don't worry about your English. I am embarrassed to say that I frequently read reports from my staff who have a high school education and are native speakers that contain more significant errors than your posts. The errors I've noted are largely related to the idiosyncrasies of the language and don't detract from the meaning of your posts. Frequently your use of prepositions is more logical than the accepted usage. I'm reminded of a comedy routine by the late great George Carlin. "Get on the plane? F*** that I'm getting in the plane."

[Voda Vosa]

Haha I see... But I fear I'll keep making that kind of mistakes.
Here are the maps so far. I'm about to scan a map of Dragon's Palm, the entire known world, so check for it in the first post of the OOC thread.

Maps

Singing Spring Island

Master Jiem’s School

Battle at the town wall

Smiling Spring Town

[Nightbreeze]

I like it quite a lot. There's a heavy emphasis on roleplaying, unlike most of the other games I am in. Is Spanish your mother tongue, VV?

[Walking Dad]

Updated my character:

[covaithe]

I'm having fun. I admit I'm eagerly looking forward to no longer needing sblocks.

[Scotley]

Great maps. Much more artistic than the excel spreadsheets I use.

Yes, indeed. Thanks for your words.

Me too, I have to say that it is a pain in where you know, but keeps the things nice and secret. When you get to read the others blocks it will be almost like a complete adventure. I thought it was pretty cool

WD: Ziang YU looks good, feel free to post him in the RG

[Voda Vosa]

I finished up the map of Dragon's palm. I have done it entirely in the computer, but Boom, it died out and didn't save anything. So I made it with pen and scanned it. Then I added some color. Don't expect too much. It's on the Maps section in the first post of this thread.

[Nightbreeze]

Ingame, my actions remain the same. I don't post there in order to avoid clustering the thread with non-rp stuff. Advance 30ft and shoot

[Walking Dad]

Just realized, that WY's Pasive Perception should be 14 (10+1 level+1 Wis+2 Jack of All Trades. Can I edit my sheet in the RG?
