Background:
Hailing from the city of Sinju in the Prefecture of Qushu within the Thrice Blessed Empire of Taikang, Fa Ying was the First Son of a magistrate within the city. While his family followed the traditions of their forefathers, many within the city’s elite had become decadent and cruel. To this end, Fa Ying’s father sent him to one of the man monasteries to keep him from the corrupt way of his peers.
Sent to a school which taught the spiritual practice of KI and its practical uses in combat, Fa Ying perfected the use of the great war-bow. Such weapons were difficult to use for most people, but Fa Ying’s family were renowned for their archers. All was going well for Fa Ying until the fateful fall afternoon when members of the Imperial Guard broke into his family’s compound and arrested or slaughtered all within. Someone in the city’s bureaucracy had started a rumour that his family was skimming from the Imperial coffers. The monks at the monastery quickly outfitted the boy and sent him into the wilds of the Empire.
With no place safe for him, and no family to turn to, the youth bounced from job to job; acting as a guard on a caravan, helping with a rice harvest and even a short stint as a holy man in the dusty bazaar of some far western outpost. Finally, Fa Ying had reached the edge of the Empire and knew there was nothing left for him here, so once again he signed onto a caravan, this time a troop of strangers from the far west, and left the Empire for good.
