Tu’an-Yao - the Usato Monk

The Usato are a pacific people that lives into almost-autossuficient communes in the deep of the Green Valley, a distant region, almost unaffected by the Masters. However this didn’t made them close their eyes for the suffering and evil provoked by the masters.

So, occasionally, anyone can see Usato rangers, warriors, rogues and monks all around Umdaar. They are easily recognized by the long feets, powerful haunches that made them powerful when jumping or kicking, big eyes with big, many time albino-pink, pupils, big faces with big muzzles and nostrils, that some of them uses to discern things by their smells, and big ears that in many of them sizes at least a fifth of their total height, with is a big thing on them, considering the common Usato has no more than 1.60m (5’4” - ears not counting)

Tu’an-Yao is one of those Usato monks: since he finished his basic training as monk, learning also some basic, but useful, mind powers, he was charged by his own order to go around the world, self-discovering and also collecting all kind of knowledge that could help the Usato to better the life of everyone, specially those people near the Green Valley.

He had already crossed loths of places, and found all kind of creatures, including the things that the Demiurge left behind. He even found some friends, like the heir of the Crystal Blade Shukul, and the Numan Rogue Sheila, with whom he allied after some events in the past. As he’s not a very strong fighter, he chosed to stay with Shukul, Sheila and the others, helping them when not at fight.

Tu’an-Yao has an average height for an Usato, being 5’4”, including his 12” ears. He’s not so lean as the typical Usato, being more a chubby Rabbit-man than the leaner Hare-man that Usato normally looks like, but his more agile than he looks. He preferts to dress himself with light clothes with a light blue color. His eyes are from a emerald green, that clashes with the dark gray spot over his right eye, that clashes with his otherwise white fur. He travels lightly, having some little tomes where he notes the events in his travels and the only weapon he have, a chackram, held into a hilt in his belt.

As all the Usato, Tu’an-Yao normally is a pacifist and tries to resolve things using his mind, that he trusts more: not only because the knowledges he collected in this time, but also in his negotiation skills and mind powers. He can’t go up with injustice and he have a place in his heart for the weaker. In fact, there’s a flame that is hidden on his emerald eyes that explodes when he sees powerful people abusing from the weaker: the Usato has a fame of powerful fighters when pushed on, and even the Masters avoids do this.

Shukul - Heir of the Crystal Blade

Born into one of the fiercest tribes from the Eternal Desert, Shukul received from his father, the most powerful item from his trible, the Crystal Blade, before being dumped in the Desert for his rite of passage. When he got back from it, the displacement beast skin as a memento of it, he only fond the ashes from the huts where his people lived. Then he discovered that the Masters of Umdaar had hunted his people as slaves and tormented it into unholy ways.

So, Shukul had searched for power and companions that could help him to thraw the Masters and fight against their injustice. He found allies in many places, from the Usato people in the Green Valley, to the Element-tamers from the Fartime Monastery.

But he knows this is not enough: the Masters are extremely powerful and they are equipped with the Artifacts from the Demiurge. So, his objective is to collect all the power he can to go against and defeat the Masters of Umdaar.

Sheila - the Rogue Ranger

The cat-men Numan is one of the most ancient and wise people in Umdaar. They are known by his extreme wisdow and loyalty to the free people of Umdaar. Obviously this make them clash directly with the Masters, and many of those of them captured are tortured and send to the arenas to be killed by beast or gladiators by populace’s glee.

But even between them, time after time, there’s some “free spirits”, that don’t accord with the traditions.

Sheila is one of those “free spirits”.

Since her time with her litter, Sheila shown the signs of being not a common numan, being more impulsive and savage than normal. So, she became accomplished on the arts of tracking, lacerny and theft, until she grow enough to go and live her life by herself, for the joy of all, including herself.

With the time, she started to search and steal old Artifacts from the Demiurge’s Age, which brought her under the Masters of Umdaar’s radar.

She would already be eaten by an arena beast, if not by Shukul and the others.

She like the groups, but she have two issues with them.

First: she don’t know the idea of property, taking what she want when she want when she want, even from her friends.

Second: she have issues with hierarchy, although clear explained and justified orders can be followed by her.
