BACKGROUND: Rose Li was born in the squalor and ruin of the lower levels of Huangdi's largest city, New Pasiap. Her father worked hard as an underground street doctor even though the Dragon Blooded who ran the government said it was illegal to do so without one of their expensive licenses. He couldn't afford to go to the medical schools but he could help people. With pollution, disease and mutation prevalent along the lower levels there was always a lot of work.

Rose Li grew up scavenging parts to help keep her father's medical machinery running. She knew how to build an x-ray machine from second hand parts by the time she was 12. That was also when a surprise encounter changed the course of her life. His name was Memnon Darian and he was a scion of the Memnon Syndicate, but his political views and failure to take his Second Breath by the time he was 19 made him a punching bag for his older Exalted siblings. When his path crossed with Rose Li he was badly beaten and left for dead in the worst part of New Pasiap. He would have died had the young girl not dragged him to her father's operating table.

As he recovered, Rose Li and Darian grew close. He stayed with her and her father and became a trusted friend. He would help them steal from within the city and his knowledge was invaluble. She liked hearing the stories about the high tech luxury of the elite children of the Exalted, while he enjoyed exploring her world of tinkering and helping save lives. Darian had always had a soft spot for the impoverished of the galaxy and his frequent attempts to shift Syndicate resources towards charity was the last straw in his ostracization from the family.

He would have been happy to stay on the wrong side of the mag-train tracks for the rest of his life if he hadn't finally experienced the spark of his femtotech bloodline. He blossomed into a blazing Fire Aspect when he saw Rose Li surrounded in attack canines in a dangerous junkyard, saving her from the beasts.

He had a passion and felt a great sense of purpose helping Li and her father but knew he had to take on the position he had been raised to inherit. Now Exalted, he was welcomed with open arms back into the Syndicate. He knew he could do more good from the inside but they had to be careful. They spoke often in encrypted messages and he continued to give her and her father secret help with his newfound resources and position, even if it was just a tip to stay one step ahead of the bylaw inspectors. As the years passed Darian began to see Li as more than just a trusted friend. He knew his family would never understand and he could not take any more of their corruption and greed. He planned to tell Li of his feelings and hoped they could run away together. He sent her a secret encrypted message but it was intercepted and altered to say that he would never see her again and that to try and contact him would mean death.

Knowing her longtime friend would never abandon her and that he must be in trouble Rose Li concocted an elaborate plan to break into the Memnon Syndicate arcology where Darian lived. With the help of some of her allies, custom made weapons stolen from the Dragon Blooded themselves, a backpack laden with devices and contingency after contingency to deal with anything she could encounter. She truly believed she was ready to save her friend. Only she was completely unprepared for what the Dragon Blooded were truly capable of. They could make her devices malfunction, outdid her in every physical and mental arena and in the end she was unable to stop Darian from being loaded onto a space ship and rocketing off out of Huangdi and into the unknown. The last thing Darian saw was Rose Li being surrounded by all sides.

They threw her out of the arco and roughed her up for good measure, but the Syndicate goons were astounded when the teenager they were beating suddenly stood up with the power of a thousand suns and kicked one through a ceramic wall and knocked the other out with one punch. Confused and suddenly a Solar Exalt, The Rose Lion was born. She escaped back into the tangle of the undercity where she came from to figure things out.

There she discovered that beyond great strength and speed her engineering ability had been enhanced a thousandfold. Ancient femtotech pulsing through her chakras empowered her to build miraculous machines, to work incredibly fast, and even to conjure machines from nothing but the light of her own soul, sleek and golden technology plucked from her dreams and made real. With these powers she could change the whole Wukong Sector, could drag the broken and abandoned worlds and people into the light of a new Golden Age. Now she could find Darian and nothing could stop her.
