The Wulin in the Age of the Xin

The Wulin Registry

The Most Wanted List

Even at the height of the Xin Dynasty, when the Imperial Constabulary kept a firm and constant peace in the city, it was unwritten policy to allow the Wulin to police their own, for the wise Ministers realized that no good would come of involving the Empire in the bloody feuds and long-standing rivalries of the Jianghu. Yet some baneful Wulin could not be ignored, and it fell to the Liquid Metal Delegates to track and, if possible, to pacify these criminals by any means necessary. The List currently features: Sword Bitch, the leader of the Blade Dogs in Perpetual Peace (if such a group can be said to have a leader!); Abyssal Ink, a notorious criminal famous for the incendiary anti-Xin calligraphy he leaves at the scenes of his crimes; and White Star Mask, a seemingly recent arrival who is all too willing to sell his murderous services to the highest bidder.

The Top Ten

In a city such as Perpetual Peace, where the Wulin are drawn like moths to a flame, it is inevitable that they should rank one another, and compete to stand preeminent in the Imperial Capital. Though the rankings are known to change, several Wulin are mainstays. They include: Red Sky Raptor, the sly and deadly Eagle Talon Executive whose special variation on the traditional Eagle Talon technique makes her a deadly opponent; Captain Hsi Jing-guo, the chief of the Brocade Guards, the elite unit of the Liquid Metal Delegates, and bearer of the Legendary Weapon Numberless Blades; Brazen Fist, five-time champion of the Illustrious August Tournament; it is said his skin is pure metal, and that no weapon can harm him; and the Sword Bitch, currently the only Wulin to figure on both the Most Wanted and Top Ten Lists.
