Gonna go into Xia territory and extend "protection" to neighboring settlements, of course, this means passively expanding into Xia territory.

Bio: The earliest memory Haiwen would have, was being given up to a group of travelling troubadours until they approached a monastery, of which he would be trained as one of the many children there. In his youth, he learned of the Gods, basic reading and writing, and partook in wrestling and other physical activities, of which he excelled. While disinterested in the stuffy and formal sermons of priesthood, the tales of the Gods and Heroes of old always piqued his interest. Between that, and his gregarious nature, it was only a matter of time before he returned to a troupe. The tyranny of the emperor and the oncoming war was hardly noticed between the acrobatic feats, good laughs, and merry songs sung by him and his troupe. That was until...well, their troupe had caught the ire of a mayor, and while the rest of his troupe escaped, Haiwen was captured. Now, he is brought before Song Yu, and whatever judgement the Warlord will pass upon him...

Bio: Born to a poor peasant family in central Xia, Zhao was taught by his elders and learned about myths from his parents. He spent years performing tricks for the entertainment for his friends and neighbours, and eventually perfected each one he knew. After leaving his village at age 25, he set out to find work. Sadly, he was turned down by everyone he met. He then stumbled upon a small town, where he stayed for a while and made some friends. They then told him that his "magic" was a great tool to earn some cash. After fooling some travellers and winning bets in taverns, he became wealthy enough to buy enough supplies to travel around the known world. Now in his 50s, he plans to return to the Xia Kingdom after finding out heating turtle shells revealed cracks, which could in turn be used as "oracle bones".

It only brings out its army when it has been invaded or there is a conflict in the surrounding bay, being a very territorial kingdom. A scholar himself, Chen is very close to the other scholars in the kingdom and will usually make good decisions and values Chinese philosophy.

I don't want to be spoiled so I didn't see it. (Ok, I didn't go through everything in the OP I admit :lol: )
Stats based Characters RP?
Hmm. So if a character have lower stat in certain aspect they'll be weaker automatically compared to others who have higher stat?

Precisely the reason why my character is a peasant far away from all the ruckus for the time being, so I can practically ignore everything else until people actually interact with my characters. :lol:

Check the end tag. Maybe there's / missing or you inserted entire size code in the paragraphs.
