(Yes, this Storybook was inspired by the old X-Box game 'Jade Empire'. I do not own Jade Empire. If I did, there would be a Number 2! :lol: and for those who have played the game:
Spoiler
This is in before the start of the game, y will end when the dark hand arives. But that won't be for a while


Plot Line:

You were selected or sent at birth to train at the Lotus Blossom School of Martial Arts in Ancient China. Here, you are trained for your future, whatever you choose it to be. Here, you will choose the path of the Open Palm, or the Closed Fist. There is something strange going on at the school, an unexplained tension. The talk of Demon stories are spreading. Some students are disapearing, no one knows why. (The rest is up to you)
Who will stand by you?
What will you learn?
What path will you take?

The Two Paths:

Path of the Open Palm: This path is basically good, and help the ones who need help, but so they can learn how to take care of themselves in the future and can help themsleves. The Path of the Open Palm is also known as the 'High Path'

Path of the Closed Fist: This path is mostly associated with evil, but there is a difrence. If an evil person saw a homeless person begging for food, he would leave the man to starve out of evil. But one of the Closed Fist would leave the man becuase he should be able to take care of himself. Not just out of evilness. This is also known as the 'Low Path'

Styles of Fighting:

Legendary Strike:This stire is a powerfull blow, and is said to break bones. This style is mostly focused on precision.
White Demon:Basically, you charge your enemy in such a mater that they sometimes run screaming. This is focused on ferosity

Haha :mrgreen: I've just been reading a book about Japan/China and Samuri's and thought; Hey, Jade Empire = Japan/China = Samuri's = Happy ME! :P

Name:Yoshi the Daring <-- (A very bad name.) :lol:

Age:16

Gender:Female

Apperance: Black hair that comes down in a straight manor, usually held up, flashing brown eyes that often seem like they are barring into your soul. She wears an eye patch of one of her eyes because of the accident.

Picture: (Ignore one of the eyes in the image) :)
Spoiler

Personality: Very adventorous and out going, Yoshi hits like a guy and often acts as one. There is nothing lady like about Yoshi, she giggles far to much and loves to do origami.

History: Yoshi was chosen when she was five to join the Lotus Martial Art School because one of the Sensei's saw her as something different other than a demon child.

Yoshi doesn't know exactly why people call her a demon child but rumours spread and she has heard many stories. It is believed that Yoshi lost her eye in a brawl with a demon, or, she is part demon and her eye is a different colour. (I'm not going to tell why she patch's her eye cause it's secret)

Path: Path of the open palm.

Fighting Styles: Blade, she usually carries around a katana and a dagger.

Other: Up for love.
I spy!

Oh my! I love this game...although, the cannibals kinda freak me out...Anyway, I'm so in if it's okay.
"So, I was thinking, I've always wanted to ride a TaunTaun."
"Ummmm....I asked you answer the math problem on the board."
"No you didn't."
"Yes I did."
"Yeah well, that's your opinion."...............A conversation between my teacher and I.
