===Kung Fu:===
'''Storm Crane Style'''

One of the most fluid and adaptable of styles,
Storm Crane favors soft deflecting defenses mixed
with circular redirection of momentum leading to
attacks. Practitioners use their superior balance to
turn dodges and blocks into sweeping counterblows
and use throws and pushes to keep targets at a distance,
requiring them to telegraph attacks and open defenses
by moving to close with the Storm Crane martial artist.

'''Techniques:'''

''Storm Rumbles in Distance'' <br> 
Make a Fight or Athletics roll with a +2 bonus to create an advantage based on controlling or redirecting momentum. <br>
If you move at least 1 zone as part of this action, or your opponent has moved at least 1 zone as part of their last action, gain a +3 bonus instead.

''Storm Flows Around Mountain''<br> 
If a target uses Full Defence in combat against you, gain a +2 bonus to your next attack against them. <br>
You gain this bonus regardless of whether their Full Defence succeeds or not.

''Crane Stuns the Carp''<br>
If you succeed on a
Fight attack with style, you may create a Stunned
advantage on a target with a free invocation instead
of taking a boost.

===Stunts:===
''One Person, Many Faces''  <br>
Whenever you meet someone new, you can spend a fate point to declare that you’ve met that person before, but under a different name and identity. Create a situation aspect to represent your cover story, and you can use Deceive in place of Rapport whenever interacting with that person. (Fate Core, p.104)

''Feint'' <br>
When it looks like you're going to go right, you go left. And vice versa. +2 to create advantages with Deceive that relate to confusion and misdirection in physical combat. 

''Mind Games'' <br> 
You can use Deceive in place of Provoke to make mental attacks, as long as you can make up a clever lie as part of the attack. (Fate Core, p.104)

Jiujin or "Nine Gold" Zhong is named after the gold-stamped but roughly-textured Joss Paper burnt to honour the spirits of loved ones. Dutiful soldier daughter of a military family, after a few years of military service she was recruited into the Imperial intelligence service and rigorously trained as an operative, grounding her in both Kung Fu and surveillance. She also became adept at infiltration and information-gathering: her skill at passing as a dimwitted servant or cleaner made her effectively invisible. She is a '''''Woman easily overlooked'''''. Posted to Jiangzhu, she gave the governor and Formless Pei a wide berth, working directly with the local contacts she had been given. In this fashion she infiltrated the circus as the maid of Lovely Fox. She built backgrounds up for each of the players (how much she found out, you can decide yourselves) because she suspected that such an assemblage of martial talent must have been engineered by Tang for some fell purpose. After the players exposed Tang, his demon wife '''and''' Scholar Ying Ru she is not sure ''what'' to think.

Zhong had suspected Master Tang and the scholar for some time but soon after she submitted her last, damning report to her handler in the Drunken Dragon in Băo Jiāng he disappeared. Her dead-drops were being watched and she narrowly avoided an ambush at a supposed safe house. Either military intelligence have abandoned her or the whole local organization has been hopelessly compromised. She is acutely aware that she is on her own and has taken to covertly practising her Kung Fu, wondering '''''Who can I talk to, who to trust?'''''. Perhaps the Beggar Abbott? There were rumours...
