She grew up the daughter of an honored family, and one day she might have had high station in Changdo, the capital. Mei chose a different path, however. Like everyone in Po Li, she was raised to revere the Eternal Emperor and await his return. Through the Emperor, it was taught, the spirit of the first emperor Lung Wa entered the world again to continue his exalted rule; both man and god in one.And yet, there were oddities in the lesson, and the priests of the Oracular Council had no time nor inclination to satisfy questions. She was advised simply to meditate on truth, until it made sense. The harder she looked though, the less it did. So Mei turned to the teachings of other lands for guidance. Po Li was rather insular however and scribes and scholars there seldom concerned themselves with heretical knowledge of barbarians. Mei-Ying therefore traveled in Tian Xia and came to Hwanggot, a smaller country by the sea who's inhabitants welcomed outsiders with far more aplomb. As such, not only was Mei accepted, but foreign traders and emissaries from across the sea. What they had to say astonished the young scholar.Lung Wa, they claimed was not the only, nor even the first, mortal to achieve the status of immortal and divine. There was a contest, in fact, set by the heathen gods, that could award a mortal those gifts, though few in all history ever had done so. More interestingly though, Mei learned about the ancient empire of Thassilon, and the strange immortality its rulers were said to have had.A bizarre contest created by gods, she had no way to understand. Simply put, no one knew but the ones who were now gods, and they weren't telling. But the ancients of Thassilon had been on a path to something amazing. They hadn't quite succeeded, it seemed, but perhaps she could learn from what was left behind. Perhaps in the old imprints of their work, the answer to the question of Lung Wa could be found.It all came together when a merchant had news that at least one ancient Thassilonian had turned up ALIVE after all this time, and caused trouble! Defeated, yes, but the idea of fresh new sites, and the chance to study 'Old' Thassilon not in ruins but in the present day...even if only in a small way...was too great to miss. Mei Ying spent almost all her personal fortunes obtaining passage across the sea; a long and dangerous journey undertaken against the wishes of her family on account of her relative youth and inexperience.Mei Ying would not be stopped though, as stubbornly faithful in this course as her family was towards the Oracular Council's proclamations. She would learn the steps that led one from mortal to more than mortal...or she would embrace that same mortality.[/sblock][sblock=Stats]Tokens: Attributes, Class and FeatsStr 9 (-1)Dex 16 (10)Con 14 (5)Int 18 (10) +2 racialWis 12 (2)Cha 16 (10)BAB 0AC 13Hit points: 8Fort +2 Ref +3 Will +3Init +3Spd 30RaceHuman subtype+2 IntelligenceBonus featBonus skill pointFavored: Arcanist1 - +1 Skill PointClassArcanistCantripsArcane Reservoir: 4/4Arcanist Exploits- Consume Item (replenish reservoir from scrolls/potions)- Quick Study (1 AR to swap prepped spell with another of equal or lesser level)- Flame Arc (1 AR to do 1d6+3 fire dmg in 30' line, Ref save DC 14 for 1/2)Consume Spells (spend spell slots to regain (spell lvl) Reservoir points as mv action)Traits- Intrigued by Thassilon (gain Thassilonian language, bonus ranks towards Knowledge: Arcana, History, Linguistics, UMD)- Spell Duel Prodigy (+2 to ID and counter)FeatsB Extra Exploit: Quick Study1 Extra Exploit: Flame ArcSkills 8Appraise +8 (1 rnk)Craft: Alchemy +8 (1 rnk)Knowledge: Arcana +8 (1 rnk)Knowledge: History +9 (2 rnks)Knowledge: Religion +8 (1 rnk)Linguistics +8 (1 rnk)Spellcraft +8 (1 rnk)Use Magic Device +7 (1 rnk)Languages: Common, Tianese, Thassalonian, Draconic, Elvish, CelestialSpellcasting Arcanist CL 1 (conc +, vs SR +1), Base DC 14)1 - 3/3Spells Prepared0 - Dancing Lights, Detect Magic, Mage Hand, Jolt1 - Mage Armor, Windy EscapeSpellbook0 - All sorc/wiz1 - Mage Armor, Comprehend Languages, Burning Disarm, Color Spray, Floating Disk, Monkey Fish, Windy Escape[/sblock][sblock=Equipment]Cash: 4gpWeaponsLight Crossbow, +3 atk, 1d8 dmg, 19-20/x2, 80', 35gp, 4lbs20 bolts, 2gp, 2lbsDagger, -1 atk, 1d4-1, 19-20x2, 10', 2gp, 1lbArmorTraveler's clothing (Tian style)GearBackpack, 2gp, 2lbsBelt pouch, 1gp, 1/2lbScroll case, 1gp, 1/2lbJournal, 10gp, 1lbInk vial, 8gpInkpens (5), 5spWaterskin, 1gp, 4lbsSunrod (2), 4gp, 2lbsPotion of Cure Light Wounds (1), 50gp, 1lb[/sblock]</blockquote>
