The Secret of Wulin Gong (Wuxia Game) OOC [ON HOLD]

[Argent Silvermage]

We Love Tzing Tzing!

Kit, Why don't you use Tzing Tzing as the crux to bring the players together. As a shaman he could have a vision of what is going to happen and he goes out and finds the poeple who the vision tells him can defeat the great looming evil. (or the Great Evil Loom... Nah that's too silly even for me.)

 

[drquestion]

Here's everyone who's expressed interest in playing, with character concepts, if they've given them.

Krizzel - no concept
Dalamar - Jackie Chan meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Argent - Tzing Tzing, Monkey God of Love
Garyh - The hot sohei from OA
Krug - Flying guillotine
Myself (drquestion) - Yen Che-Hsia, demon-hunting swordsman
Dog Faced God - brash young kung-fu fighter
Toungez - Pigsy the barbarian
Barsoomcore - serious warrior w/ dark past

edit: added Dog Faced God's concept

 

[Dog Faced God]

I'd like to play a brash young man with a 'my kung fu is better than yours' attitude (no matter how many times he gets beat).

SO if we have to be human does that mean I can't be

Chu Pa Chieh (Pigsy to his friends) the Half-orc Barbarian

I suppose I could just be Chu Pa Chieh the Human Barbarian with Pig-like habits (and still Pigsy to his friends)

Profile:
PIGSY (a.k.a.: Pig Spirit, Stupid Swine, Lord Hog, Martial of the Heavenly Host).

Pigsy was thrown out of heaven for fighting and being greedy, but during the course of his travels he learns the true value of sharing and generosity. He is highly amorous and tries it on with every female he encounters, though unfortunately, he never has luck with any of them (not even the ugly ones).

Pigsy is armed with his lethal muckrake, and his most useful ability is being able to consume vast quantities of food in mere seconds. Oh, and he can also speak pig.

Yan-Xi Jiang (Cherished Beauty)

Yan-Xi, a skilled warrior trained in the formal methods of the River Walking School of swordsmanship, to which his family has belonged for generations. Despite the great prowess of the River Walking style, or possibly because of the great prowess of the River Walking style, the school was nearly wiped out by some mysterious organization, every member assassinated on the same night. Yan-Xi survived the purge only because that night he was up in the mountains near the school, meditating. Now he travels, seeking to uncover who dun him so wrong -- and from knowledge, to vegeance!

That's one reason why he's so dark and dour. The other is his stupid name. Cherished Beauty? Give me a break. Yeah, he's extremely pretty, sure, but seriously, what kind of name is that for a guy? Thanks, mom. Thanks a bunch.

Note: very willing to adapt any of this story that doesn't fit with your concept, KV. And I don't have any real preconceptions about the "River Walking School" style, either. Could just be a standard samurai, or some prestige class (I'm very partial to the Iaijutsu Master), I'm unparticular.

Just remember

1> Nothing Japanese
2> No western names/nicknames etc
3> Big brownie points if your PC is related somehow to another PC

There are way too many people interested in this game than I can handle though.

 

[drquestion]

My character could be a travelling companion of Tzing-Tzing.

He's kind of crazy, anyways, so he doesn't mind hanging out with the monkey god of love.

A suggestion: Have you seen the martial artist class from Asgard #7? The class, along with the new feats there, seems to do a pretty good job of simulating wuxia.

You can get it here

 

[barsoomcore]

Tonguez -- I think Yan-Xi and Pigsy should be travelling companions. They make a weird pair, the greedy and disrespectful Pigsy and the quiet, dignified Yan-Xi, and yet they have been thrown together and neither of them has any family to fall back on.

Running joke could be that girls keep pursuing Yan-Xi (cause he's so pretty), but he's so cranky and dour that he brushes them off, and Pigsy always tries to grab them on the rebound.

Cue upended bowl of noodles and Yan-Xi's long-suffering sigh as they get thrown out of yet another restaurant.

Nope, nobody knows Tsing Tsing. I like it with the 's' better actually. The 'z' is looks kind of weird. Please don't call him Pigsy though. I'd rather you stay away from the westernized nicknames.

Anyone want to be the travelling companion of a crazy taoist swordsman named Yen Che-Hsia, then?

Here's a picture of what he looks like:
