At the very least, you will probably need a second character to participate when this one doesn't. 1. What about you is heroic? What, me? Everything! I'm beautiful, I'm strong, I can defeat anything! I'm the descendant of Lu Bu, and I've got all of his power, except I can be trusted! I'm gonna be world-famous someday, and I will be known as a legend. 2. What about you is social? What do you like about people? Hey, I'm friendly to most people I meet. I've got lotsa friends, though... well, having so many people, there are really only a few I can devote a lot of time to. I like honor, dreams, and selflessness. 3. Of what benefit could you be to the current group? I'm the descendant of Lu Bu! I'm the very pinnacle of human achievement! I AM TSENG LI! No one can truly and directly stand in my way. 4. Why would you choose to join the current group? Huh? Well, I didn't really... well, choose it. I was drafted into it from birth, really... still, that doesn't mean I hate it here. I've learned so much, and became capable of lots of things, but... ... well, I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a more normal life. Even without joining the Inquisition, I know it'd be impossible for me to have one. It's got nothing to do with the Inquisition, really... though admittedly, I sometimes resent it. The need for all this secrecy really hampers my dream of becoming a legend. It's because of the Inquisition that I even have a chance to fail... 5. Invent an adventure/plot that your character would actively undertake (as opposed to just tagging along)? An elderly man going by the name of Shi Kong has been spotted! Normally this wouldn't be so weird, except he seems to be looking for someone worthy of some sort of training. Could he be the one who taught Lu Bu the moves of the Lunar Spear, and denied him the divine half for his lies? Personal Questions 1. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use? (Note: It is common among all ages and werewolves to use either a Shadow Name (in the case of mages) or Garou name to represent the change in their lives. Figure out what yours is.) My name is Tseng Li. I need no stage name. 2. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it? I am Li the Mighty. Li the Invincible. Li the Beautiful. Li the Strong. Li the Indomitable. I've bestowed upon myself these names. Li the Arrogant, Li the Proud... I'm ashamed to admit that... well, I've earned these names too. I'm more like Lu Bu than I'd wanted to be. Still, most people just call me Li, and save the titles for when I do something to deserve it on that occasion. 3. What do you look like? (Include height, weight, hair, eyes, skin, apparent age, and distinguishing features) I'm tall, I don't weigh much, my hair is black, though I dye it all sorts of colors sometimes, my eyes are dark brown, my skin is typical Asian skin color, I look 19 or so even though I'm 17, and I don't have any physical imperfections of any kind. Next? 4. How do you dress most of the time? Um... there's this red cheongsam I really like, with gold trimmings. Yeah, it's not all that imaginative a color, but it appeals to me... 5. How do you "dress up?" There's this blue cheongsam with silver trimmings. Inquisitor Yi gave it to me for my 16th birthday, and it's something I'm pretty proud of having. I usually clear the dye out of my hair then. 6. How do you "dress down?" I toss myself into a pair of jeans and the first shirt I find. I'm trying to go for a "I'm casual, and down to earth" look. So people will identify with me more so I can grab up fame, of course. 7. What do you wear when you go to sleep? A robe. It's comfortable and doesn't take forever to put on. 8. Do you wear any jewelry? Yeah, there's this really nice jade bracelet Inquisitor Xi gave me for my 16th birthday... it's something I wear only for special occasions, though, when I dress up. 9. In your opinion, what is your best feature? I'm the very peak of human physical development. I'm perfect... 10. What's your real birth date? May 27, 1988. Remember this, people! It's going to be in history lessons someday! 11. Where do you live? Describe it: Is it messy, neat, avant-garde, sparse, etc.? Good old Inquisitorial dormitory. It's neat. Or at least, it has been since Qi moved in. I wouldn't want her living in a messy place. She deserves better. 12. Do you own a car? Describe it. Nah, but I've got this awesome motorcycle. It's fast, and red, and handles so smoothly it's like an extension of myself. It's the Crimson Peregrine, and it can go a billion miles a day! 13. What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much? Probably my Lunar Spear. I've spent a lot of my life training with it, getting used to how it weighs, the balance, everything... granted, it's just a physical object, and not even a magical one or an artifact at that. I don't think I'd cry or anything if anything happened to it, since I could get one that was more or less exactly the same, and hell, it's probably had its parts worn out and replaced so many times it's not even the same spear it was when I got it, and I could probably build several other complete spears from the old sections I've got laying around, but it's still just one object to me. 14. What one word best describes you? Strong. Strong of heart, strong of will, and lastly, strong of body. Familial Questions 1. What was your family like? Eh? I don't know who they are. My mentor's Inquisitor Ki. I suppose that's the closest to family I have. He was really kinda like an older brother or uncle to me. 2. Who was your father, and what was he like? Inquisitor Yi? Dunno why you'd wanna know about him. He's this guy who was pretty nice to me growing up, though. Always looking out for me, doing his best to make sure I'm fine, that sort of thing. A brave guy, but he retired a while ago, and took up teaching. 3. Who was your mother, and what was she like? What, you wanna know about Inquisitor Xi too? Well, she's a really nice person, she was also pretty nice to me growing up, and wanted to make sure I was safe. She looked like she was always kinda unhappy around the times I went out on missions, though. I really wish she'd know I'd do fine, really. 4. What was your parents marriage like? Were they married? Did they remain married? Okay, Yi and Xi married a long time ago, they've been married a long time, and they're still married and very much in love. Why do you want to know about them so badly? Geez. Qi asked me these questions too. Er, not that ther'es anything wrong with that. 5. What were your siblings names? What were they like? ( MOre information on multiple acolytes per retired inquisitor, please ) 6. What's the worst thing one of your siblings ever did to you? What's the worst thing you've done to one of your siblings? ( MOre information on multiple acolytes per retired inquisitor, please ) 7. When's the last time you saw any member of your family? Where are they now? I see 'em every day! They're probably back at the base, doing whatever the heck they do. 8. Did you ever meet any other family members? Who were they? What did you think of them? ( Dunno yet ) Childhood Questions 1. What is your first memory? Um... just being held. It was warm. I was happy... 2. What was your favorite toy? Slinky. It's hypnotic... 3. What was your favorite game? Soccer, I think. I liked a lot of sports then. 4. Any non-family member adults stick out in your mind? Who were they, and how did you know them? Why do they stick out? ( Still tihning this over ) 5. Who was your best friend when you were growing up? That's easy. It's Ji. He's always been a brainy kid, and he's a technician now. Hell, he gave me Crimson Peregrine. We're still great friends. 6. What is your fondest, childhood memory? 7. What is your worst childhood memory? Adolescent Questions 1. How old were you when you went on your first date? 16. Nobody really interested me before that. 2. It is common for one's view of authority to develop in their adolescent years. What is your view of authority, and what event most affected it? Hey, authority is authority. It's somoene to obey, though not blindly. When I learned of Lu Bu's perfection and how he utterly threw everything away for his treachery, I swore to myself I would never be like that. 3. What were you like in high school? What "clique" did you best fit in with? 4. What were your high school goals? 5. Who was your idol when you were growing up? Who did you first fantasize about in your life? 6. What is your favorite memory from adolescence? 7. What is your worst memory from adolescence? Occupational Questions 1. Do you have a job? What is it? Do you like it? If no job, where does your money come from? I'm an Inquisitor of the Michaelites. I fight threats to humanity. I enjoy the practice, but it's tiring, having to do this all the time. 2. What is your boss or employer like? (Or publisher, or agent, or whatever.) Oh, the pope's a great guy. He could kick my ass in a fight, that's for sure, but he's such a great guy. 3. What are your co-workers like? Do you get along with them? Any in particular? Which ones don't you get along with? 4. What is something you had to learn that you hated? Math. Bleaaaagh. I hate that stuff. 5. Do you tend to save or spend your money? Why? I spend it. Money doesn't do anything unless it's being spent! Likes & Dislikes Questions 1. What hobbies do you have? Loads of sports... fun, fun sports. I like movies, and strategy games like chess and whatnot. 2. Who is your closest mundane friend? Describe them and how you relate to them. 3.

Who was the first person you had sex with? When did it happen? What was it like? How well did it go? Still a virgin, until our first anniversary.... 3. Have you ever had a same-sex experience? Who with, what was it like, and how did it go? 4. What is your deepest, most well-hidden sexual fantasy? Would you ever try it? Eh?
