'''Master of the Eastern Wind'''

True Name: Wu Shih

Caste: Zenith 
    
Languages Known: High Realm

Background: 
   Wu was given to a remote monastic order when he was very young.  It is not known why
his parents gave him up, but there are some whispers that he was the product of shame 
or tragedy.  The truth is unknown even to Wu himself.
   Wu grew up knowing only the esoteric and difficult monastic teachings of his order and
the harsh and beautiful An-teng Mountains.  For nearly forty years Wu trained and excelled
in the ways of the healing hand and the striking fist, attaining some small reputation of 
note among the mountain dwellers of the area.  Not once in this time did he leave the 
mountains or make contact with anyone outside of the local area.  This would have 
likely been the rest of his life, but destiny had other plans for Wu Shih.
   The dawn of his 40th birthday he Exalted.  His messenger and guide came to him in the 
form of a golden monkey who spoke to him of great and terrible things.  Things of past and possibility.  The recognition of the power inside him hit Wu like cyclonic winds.  He 
reeled and staggered out into the early morning mists, jabbering, hopping, and laughing 
with the monkey.  The other monks emerged from their humble quarters to stare at the 
strange and awesome spectacle of the newly Exalted Zenith.
   After a week of meditation and prayer and council with his mentor and elders, Wu knew 
he had to leave the monastery for the sake of his fellows.  It was a sad parting as Wu 
left all he knew for the unknown.  He also left his name behind the walls of the humble 
retreat, for now he had become much more than pious Wu Shih.  He had become Master of 
the Eastern Wind!
   He descended from the high altitudes and wandered for several days in the lightly 
forested hills until he was directed by the Sun Monkey to a small clearing where he met 
the man known as Golden Ivory.  The two men were quick to form a bond, for Golden Ivory
was also Exalted.  Knowing little of the outside world, but knowing that it needed to 
be set right, Master of the Eastern Wind joined Golden Ivory in his travels.      
   
      

         

Allies

Allies are people that care about your character enough to aid them without payment.

    *  Tong Chu [age 103]: 

            * Aged mentor who convinced Wu Shih to follow his powerful destiny.
            * Tong Chu is the head of the remote temple in the An-teng mountains.
            He is wise and schooled in the healing arts but his power is dwarfed by
            that of his onetime pupil.

            monk should he be given the chance.

Exalted Details


Concept

         Hermetic savant thrust into the chaotic and dangerous outside world. 



Motivation

         Master of the Eastern Wind believes he must aid any efforts to bring about
         order and peace in the troubled world.  He acknowledges his responsibility 
         to heal the sick as well as strike at the decadent.  Toppling the current throne

Virtues

        Passion and emotion are powerful forces in the world of Exalted. Virtues 
        measure how passionately committed a character is to certain types of behavior.
        There are four Virtue traits, each representing the extremes the soul can reach.
        
* Compassion, which measures the character’s empathy and forgiveness. Characters with 
high Compassion have difficulty ignoring the plights of others. 

                     Compassion 2. 

                * Conviction, which represents the character’s resistance to mental 
and physical hardship. Characters with high Conviction can endure (and inflict) immense
pain and suffering and ignore the suffering of others. 

                     Conviction 2. 

                * Temperance, which measures self-control and clearheadedness. Characters
 with high Temperance sometimes withdraw from human contact or hold themselves above those
 less “pure,” partly because they can easily ignore temptations to which others yield. 

                     Temperance 4.  Primary Virtue. 

                * Valor, which represents courage and bravery. Characters with high Valor
 have difficulty backing down from any challenge, however dangerous or foolhardy, but they
 can also face daunting foes fearlessly. 

                     Valor 2.
