You are a Martial Founder
« on: January 10, 2016, 03:30:18 am »

Originally you came from a small province known as the Ashwood Expanse that is on the very border of the vast continent of Padinia, there the idea of the Martial Way was an unknown, and the number of sects or clans belonging to it were extremely scarce. In this small part of the world that was out of touch with the true way of the world you grew up the child of a farmer, and carpenter.

They named you ...

You were a ... boy or girl?

However, even in such a remote place there were remnants and legacies left behind by experts who had passed away long ago, and one of them was what led to your following the Martial Way in the hopes of gaining power, riches, and glory that no mere mortal could hope to acquire in their short life. The legacy you found those many years ago was,

A) A technique that refined the body, and made your flesh and bones like iron while giving you strength far beyond the limits of a mortal. It was called the Bronze God's Body Technique.

B) A book that explained an alchemist's life's knowledge on the art of Alchemy that they had left behind in the hopes of someone carrying on their legacy, and a refining technique they had created. It was called the Star Refinement Method.

C) A treasured weapon imbued with the last fragment of a long dead expert meant to pass on their skills, and knowledge to a suitable successor. It was a ...
(Sword, Bow, Spear, etc.)

We were a boy.

Your birth name was Zhao Li, and on that day over thirty five years ago you found a manual left behind by an expert calling himself the Bronze God who claimed that if one was to refine his technique to the peak then even the rarest treasured weapons would never penetrate your skin. Before you found that manual the Martial Way was something you had never heard of before, but that aged manual was enough to lead you to a completely different life that surpassed anything your mortal life would have managed to achieve. You took a liking to this Martial World that the technique opened up to you, and immediately began to train in the Bronze God's Bod technique with a determination as if it was the only thing capable of saving you from a certain death.

Those first few years were the hardest, to train the technique you had to purposely pick fights with others and allow them to get in a great number of hits before beating them, and then you would sit under a waterfall allowing the water to smash down on you. It was a pain that you will never forget, but in the end you succeeded and managed to break through the first level of the technique and paving your way to reach the Spirit Formation stage which would allow you to go out into the world on a journey to gain even greater strength. Thankfully the Bronze God had left behind the basics of cultivating up to the Soul Fusion stage, and thus it was easy for you to complete Soul Formation and form a Spirit Root which allowed you the right to head out into the greater world.

You decided to walk the Martial Way in the wider world by ...

A) Testing your limits and challenging people and ferocious beasts stronger than you, delving into tombs of experts, and chasing after worldly treasures.

B) Picking on those weaker than you to take what they owned, and stealing what you wanted while fleeing from those who might be stronger than you.

C) You kept a low profile, and hunted after mostly beasts while only chasing treasures and legacies that were unknown.
