Lin-Kuei, Genasi Monk
Ninja Assassin Name: Lin-KueiRace: Genasi (Ice)Age: 35Class: Monk (Way of the Elements)Alignment: Lawful EvilFaction: The Dead Mens' Society is the most famous mercenary group in Luskan. They are renowned for their gusto, strength of arms, and their absolute loyalty to their employers. They accept living or dead members of any kind, and use the motto 'Death is no bar to our Call'. They are expensive, but will take the secrets of their employers to their graves and beyond, and will take any job regardless of who it is for or what the details entail. Need to kill a school filled with innocent children? They'll do it. Need them to build a new school afterwords? They'll do that, too (though poorly, crafting isn't their strong suit). The Dead Men's Society Char Sheet: Link Appearance: Lin-Kuei stands at 6'2" with a strong, athletic build, which has been toned by years of martial arts training. Fair in complexion with a skin tone almost bluish in its paleness, his once bright, blue eyes have seemingly "iced over" and exhibit a pure whiteness that seems to match his elemental abilities.Personality: Lin-Kuei no longer accepts the teachings of Bahumut, believing that the Temple monks that worship him are only sycophants and hypocrites. Venturing into the outside world has hardened him, as he sees the evil that is pervasive across the land. Still, there is honor within him as he understands that order is needed to avoid total chaos. But he believes that skill, strength and power ensure survival at the top of the order as opposed to being crushed beneath it.Traits: Cool headed - I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raise my voice or let my emotions control me.Bond: Revenge - Against Rai-Jin and the Order of the Iron Fist. One day, once he is strong and powerful enough, Lin-Kuei will bring about the destruction of the Temple, when they least expect it....Ideal: Power is order, and order is power!Flaw: Callousness - as Lin-Kuei's powers grow, he is increasingly disregarding of human, and non-human, life.Backstory: Raised in the Temple of the Iron Fist, Lin-Kuei was trained by his clan of fighting monks to battle in service to the great Dragon God, Bahamut. However, when Rai-Jin, his brother-in-arms, became the "favored son" due to the emergence of Draconic sorcerer abilities, jealously of Rai-Jin's 'favored status' gradually overtook Lin-Kuei and set him on his path to darkness. One day during practice, his rebellious streak took him too far and he would have beaten the life out of his Kun-Lun fellow monk , had his masters not intervened and stopped him. Faced with expulsion from the temple monastery, Lin-Kuei vowed to develop his emerging abilities of elemental manipulation and avenge himself against the Order of the Iron Fist.Secret #1: Known Secret = Lin-Kuei knows the secret of his old Order’s Temple, which is that it is located in Planescape (the monastery actually phase-shifts completely in and out of Planescape into other planes, sometimes randomly, but also controlled). Although he no longer has any loyalty to the Temple Order, he continues to uphold the secret location, for his own reasons.Secret #2: Unknown Secret = Genasi lineage.
