Clan Shaolin

Requirements for Clan entry

To Join Shaolin you will need to have reached Losing Self 6  and you must complete the quest Enlightening the world through Buddha.

Roles Within the Clan

Luohan monks  (Warrior)
Luohan Monks do not fear death, knowing it for a mere transition to other states. And so, with this conviction firmly in mind, they step forward to the front lines of combat with unmatched confidence. They train in all manner of Shaolin’s polearm techniques, and several types of Xumi Arts designed to reform Evil. * Because Life is of paramount importance, Constitution is their most important concern. Essence is harder for them to develop, and Wisdom is not as important as other attributes.

 

Diamond monks (Healer/Buffer)
Diamond Monks represent the noble heart of the Buddha, which does not break from viewing hardship. These disciples spread Buddha’s teachings throughout The Land. They utilize unarmed Praying Mantis style Kung Fu and Exorcist Arts for offense, and protect themselves and others with Diamond Arts. Among their merciful ranks you will also find Healers and those in charge of the clan's Formation techniques. * Essence and Wisdom are key for this role. Constitution is harder for them to develop.

 

Exorcist monks (Caster)
Exorcist Monks overpower evil through their pure devotion, and hope to steer the souls of their opponents onto the righteous path. Exorcists learn to fully master their Chi Kung and utilize Xumi Arts, Palm Strikes Of One Thousand Buddha Arts and protective Diamond Arts. * They place emphasis on Essence and Wisdom. Strength is harder for them to develop, and they are ill-suited to melee combat.

 

Deva Monk (Hybrid)
Deva Monks are disciples who firmly believe that the study of either Kung Fu or Chi Kung alone would make one an imperfect servant of the Buddha. So the way of Deva requires a disciple to attain both martial prowess and deep spiritual devotion. Deva Monks train in all forms of Shaolin's arts, save for polearm techniques. Though they rarely attain utter mastery of a single style of Kung Fu, they do become the most versatile of all Shaolin masters. * They emphasize Constitution and Essence, and use Kung Fu for offense and Chi Kung for defense with equal skill. Wisdom is harder for them to develop.

The House of Shaolin


Fachang
Rank: Shaolin Elder
Role: Chief Strategist, keeper of the clan’s greatest secrets and conveyor of main quests.
Description: He is reportedly 109 years old, and is the 32nd elder of Shaolin, leader of the clan for the past fifty years. He is a living embodiment of the clan’s Kung Fu and Chi Kung techniques and is considered to have reached full earthly enlightenment. He often delivers riddles which convey Shaolin’s most profound mysteries and is the direct teacher of The Immoral Monk, Shaolin’s lost dragon.


Guangzhen
Rank: Sifu of Shaolin
Role: Keeper of the clan’s Kung Fu and Chi Kung techniques and conveyor of quests.
Description: He is the most short-tempered and coarse of the Guang generation of monks. He frequently insists that Shaolin’s true strength must be revealed to the world. Because of his personality flaws, he is not yet able to learn the very greatest of Shaolin’s Kung Fu techniques; however, his knowledge of Shaolin Kung Fu is second only to that of Fachang and The Immoral Monk.


Yiwu
Rank: Young Monk
Role: A reliable source for gathering clandestine information.
Description: He has remained a Shaolin Young Monk for 8 years because he does not wish to undergo the harsh training required to become a full monk. He says that he joined Shaolin only because he admired The Immoral Monk. He frequently ditches his errands, and lives in fear of both the senior monks and the karmic consequences of many of his actions. Sometimes he secretly goes to town to eat meat and indulge himself, but the elders allow this since he frequently overhears things that concern important events transpiring in The Land.


Guanghui
Rank: Young Monk
Role: Conveyor of quests.
Description: On the last day of The War of Nine Dragons, he was delivered to Shaolin Temple by The Immoral Monk. Even though he is weak and frail, he is called “Little Uncle” since he has become a direct disciple of Fachang, The Elder. He is ever faithful to the teachings of Shaolin and an inspiration to many monks, both young and old.
