Dàoxuān was left at the Shaolin temple as a young boy. Abbot Fotuo accepted Master Sengchou's decision to admit the boy, who proved an eager student. His voice matured and his singing moved the hearts of the monks. Dàoxuān's appetite for knowledge was equaled only by his appetite for food. The growing boy excelled in his studies, and had a good heart. He found it within himself to stand up for justice, and was known to lend his aid to those in need. Dàoxuān found opportunities to help others many times while on journeys for his order. It seemed that his path was often crossed by oppressors and villains. Fortunately, his mastery of wushu grew almost as quickly as his mastery of song, and he made short work of them. Master Sengchou also taught Dàoxuān magic, and Dàoxuān's devout nature allowed him to advance in this area as well. Ultimately, he was admitted to the Chan sect, gaining access to additional mysteries. But Dàoxuān's encounters on the road had not gone unnoticed, and he was drawing undue attention to the monastery. It was then that Abbot Fotuo sent Dàoxuān forth to the world of Jianghu, having seen the student's destiny lay outside the walls. Now a seasoned veteran,  Dàoxuān set upon his path, content to accept whatever lay before him.<br>

'''Contacts:'''<br>
==Contacts:==
+
'''Abbot Fotuo''' – Abbot of the Shaolin Monastery. Realizing that Dàoxuān's actions for good brought the monastery undue attention from government officials, the abbot set Dàoxuān free to journey through the Jianghu. The abbot looks kindly upon his disciple, and will provide what support he can. For  Dàoxuān's part, he agrees the decision was for the best, and that his destiny lies in Jianghu.<br>
'''Uncles''' A loose collection of martial arts relatives who have advised Rain's parents and trained the young man for years. Their personal histories are up to the DM. Some might occasionally be sober, one or two might have done something great in the past.
+
'''Master Sengchou''' – Dàoxuān's sifu in Buddhism, Wushu and magic, and the only father he remembers. Sengchou had also walked the paths of Jianghu, but only for a few short years. His calling was teaching, and thus he remains at the monastery. Sengchou was known as Lofty Tree among the Wulin.<br>
 
+
'''Master Dizang''' – Wise Monkey is a strange old monk who tends a small Buddhist temple deep in the Green Forest. He is scholarly, and many of the Wulin come to see him, and to meditate at the temple. Dàoxuān always visits when he is near this temple, which is called Ciyun. Dizang is also highly-placed with the Chan sect.<br>
[[Yu meets the wandering brigand]]
+
'''Shadow Flame''' – A warrior leader with his own biaoju, and one of Dàoxuān's friends. Shadow bears two magic swords, and is a friend to spirits of the elements. Upon occasion Dàoxuān has travelled with Shadow and fought beside him.<br>
 
+
'''White Doe''' – half wild, she travels the Green Forest seeking always to prove herself. Her eye is often caught by light and color, and she has caused more trouble than most Wulin twice her age. One day, Dàoxuān was set upon by bandits, led by Happy Crocodile. He was sorely pressed until White Doe leaped down from the trees and fought like a whirlwind. Dàoxuān is in her debt, something she delights in reminding him.<br>

==Game Mechanics:==
 
 
 
Has 0 points towards Qi skills.
 
 
 
A single level of Unarmed combat gives you only +5% to Brawl and Grapple alike, but lessens the opponent's attack skill by 5%, adds +2 to unarmed damage and gives your limbs 2 points of armour for parries. With your Damage bonus and Martial arts skill, your damage roll would become 1d3+1d4+2, and another 1d3 if your attack roll is also under your Martial Arts skill level. Basically, meaning you can't roll less than 4 in any case, and the damage scales up to 12 bashing.
 
 
 
Grappling might take longer, but it's possibly worse:D!
 
 
 
However, if the opponent also has UC levels, you need a resistance roll, and only one of you is likely to benefit from them. The more levels you have, the more likely you are to shut down the enemy's skill boost.
 
 
 
A single level of Super Brawl gives you +20% of Brawl, and nothing else. Yes, it doesn't give you +20 to Grapple. You need Super Grapple for that. And of course, you can have more than one level of each.
 
 
 
Staff is 1d6+1d4, plus possibly another 1d6 if your attack roll is also under your Martial Arts skill level.
 
 
 
Other skills are figured normally. Super Dodge gives you +20 to dodge per level, possibly making you very, very        hard to hit. It's also got some other benefits against Parry.
 
 
 
''Heroic Strength'' allows inflicting knockback, one metre per level. Alternatively, you can break walls, 3 Siz per level, or pieces of furniture.
 
 
 
''Defence'' reduces the chance of all opponents to strike by 5% per level. Good against minions, since it lasts for 5 rounds per Qi point expended on it. If facing a skilled enemy, it also stacks with the ability to reduce a given opponent's skill with Unarmed combat, although Super Dodge is better here.
 
 
 
''Powers of Foshan''
 
Powers: Defence (1/lvl), Extra Energy (1/lvl), Heroic strength 2/lvl, super skill (Brawl) 2/lvl, super skill (Cl        imb) 2/lvl, super skill (Dodge) 2/lvl,  super skill  (Jump) 2/lvl,  super  speed 10/lvl,  Unarmed Combat 10/lvl
 
 
 
==Ton Lin's words:==
 
 
 
'''About Yu'''
 
"First is Lü", he announces. "Lü — The Wanderer. Success through smallness. Perseverance brings good fortune to the wanderer.Fire on the mountain gives the image of Lü. Remember that the superior man is clear-minded and cautious in imposing penalties, and protracts no lawsuits!"
 
He sighs. "I'm not sure what this means, but apparently, you're to encounter the law, and should look towards the small, not the great, if you're to resolve it. But resolve it you should, and fast!"
 
Ton Lin nods, then gestures to keep the boy silent.
 
"But wait, there is more! The wanderer rests in a shelter. He obtains his property and an ax. My heart is not glad. The bird's nest burns up. The wanderer laughs at first, then must needs lament and weep. Through carelessness he loses his cow. Misfortune."
 
Ton Lin pulls his beard, than frowns.
 
"Misfortune is quite likely, especially if you fail in the aforementioned lawsuit. If you encounter misfortune, try not to weep. The next one is better".
 
"Ch'ien — Modesty. It's modesty that creates success. The superior man carries things through. Within the earth, a mountain: Thus the superior man reduces that which is too much, and augments that which is too little. He weighs things and makes them equal."
 
He shakes his head.
 
"You should teach the great to be like you, and raise up to greatness. Truly, my boy, Heavens have a lot in store for you!"
 
Then the diviner leans back and handles you a tablet.
 
"Here. I have detailed inside the results of many predictions to guide your uncles on the best path. But one of them hints that you shouldn't hurry to bring it to them. I was wondering why...but now I know it".
 
His eyes seem to flare when he leans forward and croaks.
 
"You have to walk your own path - and in doing so, become the wonderer, and remind people of modesty! Straying from this would avert the good fortunes of your uncles as well! Only after finding your own path and walking it, can you help them resolve the problem they've asked my help with. Thus, it is imperative for you to find it. If you wish, I could find another messenger. The first line makes it clear, that your path doesn't lead back to home! At least, not immediately."
 
 
 
'''About Lao'''
 
"It's Ming I, the Darkening of the Light", he announces.
 
"In adversity
 
It furthers one to be persevering.
 
The light has sunk into the earth.
 
 
 
Thus does the superior man live with the great mass:
 
He veils his light, yet still shines."
 
Ton Lin looks upon Li, then adds.
 
"Of course, you're not a man, so it's not about you. But look out for the superior man behind the veil, that passes unnoticed. Then keep close to him! Your fate is linked strongly with him! All the lines were young - fittingly - so there's no more advice the Heavens wish to dispense!"
