I had a whole paragraph written out, describing me as an RPG character and who the rest of my party would be, but I'll give you the *significantly* shortened version, as I just realized that it's now Morning in Michigan and I've been on these forums since midnight last night non-stop (oops!).
Class:
*Scholarly, yet Tough, student of Tiger Style Kung Fu
-----------------------
Game:
*Tales-style Wuxia RPG
-----------------------
Techniques:
*Powerful Strikes, Earth Magic Techniques (Dirt Bullet, Summon: Ceramic Soldier), Rage
-----------------------
Job:
*Fight Highwaymen, Monsters, and Evil Sorcerors for money and the chance to avoid the banal townsfolk, whom I loathe for spending more time oogling Geishas and drinking Sake than they do learning to defend themselves from those threats.
-----------------------
Motivation:
*Defend the villages of the region from Sorcerors, Monsters, and Bandits until the townsfolk learn to defend themselves, allowing me to resume the journey I had previously been on before I arrived in the region. Unfortunately, it's beginning to look like that's not going to happen; I've been doing such a good job lately that, though I'm running myself ragged, the townsfolk are becoming complacent. They figure that if I can keep doing such a good job, they'll never have to worry about lifting a finger to protect their homes.
They sorely overestimate my abilities.
------------------------
Story Arc:
*I join a band of 5 other people - a Ronin, a Ninja, a Royal Guard, a Swordswoman, and a penitent Sorceror - to drive the Monsters and Evil Sorcerors from the land, making the region safe again and allowing me to resume my journey (among other things).
------------------------
That's not too shabby, huh? And this is the *cut down* version, with only a few details thrown into the mix.
