Editing Chen (section)

=History=
Little Chen was horrified by the gruesome death of his parents when he returned home from his play. They were both nailed to the wall, their severed heads lay within a pentagon glyph, probably drew with their blood. People who seen this unholy scene screamed demonic culprits. Several monks from a nearby temple investigated the site and took Little Chen along after submitting to his pathetic pleads. He was only 9. <br>

The temple’s abbot empathized with his loss and pain, and saw a way to turn the boy’s despairs into something more useful. He threw him into a regiment of insane training to prepare him as demon hunter. Fueled by vengeance, Wu endured torments of brutal training and practiced fiercely. Despite his sheer lack of intellect, he made stupendous efforts to acquire knowledge about demon hunting. He swore to hunt down all unholy that plagued this world; demons and anathema alike. Ironically, he became the Anathema that he once, mistakenly, hated. <br>

5 years ago, during a hunting mission, the hunters met a terrible foe. As a mortal, he stood weak against the demon and suffered a fatal blow, which instead granted him a second breath. A voice commanded, “Embrace your new gifts, and send infinite penance to all Evils that may plague this land” Surged with unearthly powers, he defeated the demon. <br>

“Anathema!!!” was what he heard instead of grateful words of thanks. After that day, he became the hunted. His second breath fractured his 16 years of immaculate indoctrinations. He faced the torments of an identity crisis as he ran away from Wyld Hunters’ hot pursuits. For a year, he ran. For a year he seek direction from that “Voice”, he was replied with silence.<br>

It was one occasion when he put off yet another demon in a village, and when the villagers greeted him with gratitude and praises, his ripples of doubts begin to settle. He came to realize that he received a gift and not a curse, without which, another village suffers the wrath of demon. He is more than what he was. He now possesses extraordinary powers that can be used to defend the weak and also avenge his parents’ death. He smiled and raised his fists into the air and declared himself as “the Fists of Infinite Penance.”<br>

Then the Voice spoke and commanded him to head west…<br>

==Chen's Parents==
Chen was the only son of two mortal citizens of the Realm. His father, Reed, was an archon, the close ally and servant of the noted magistrate and fire-aspect matriarch Cathak Inari. Chen’s mother, Stargazer Ember, was a lesser patrician of the Stargazer clan, a beautiful young woman with a mild and pleasant temperament...and not insignificant wealth. Their marriage was arranged by Inari, who wanted to foster better political ties for Reed.<br>

Both of Chen’s parents died during an investigation into suspicious demonic activity in the rough port city of Chanos. They couldn’t track down the demon in time- the teodozjia killed Ember to provoke Chen’s father into hasty action. It worked, and Reed was killed when he ran off alone to confront the demon, despite Inari’s wishes. Both bodies were gruesomely left in their humble home for Chen to find.<br>

After he was orphaned, Chen was taken away to a nearby Immaculate monastery, where a generous donation and endorsement from Inari allowed him to get the best training the monks could offer him.<br>
