Character Information

Known History

Yue-Ji’s training instilled not only wisdom in him, but also forged him into a living weapon, a martial arts master without peer.
On the other hand, he is a Taoist scholar seeking teachings in this set of doctrines to create his anchors with Humanity.
He's known for his expertise in several forms of fighting and, thus, for his preference to eschew weapons for bare-handed battle with brutal efficiency.
A natural athlete as well as disciplined, he may be looked upon as a level-headed individual who practices meditation and inner-cleansing as arts within themselves.
His use of chi, or internal energy, aids him not only in combat, but also in commanding his emotions in tense situations
and drawing the attention of even the Kuei-jin to his techniques.
His mortal lineage as well as past history is unknown, but it is known that in his veins runs the ancient blood of the Lin Kuei clan.
Hailing from Hong Kong and having trained with the greatest masters of his generation, he was present in the San Francisco Tong Wars,
in the restructuring of organized crime in the format of the triads and responds as one of the bosses of Sun Yee On today.
His passion for art is as great as his passion for violence and this has led him to be taken in by the Toreador clan.
