[edit] Characters
===Wuxia (Warrior)=== - - Wuxias are closed combat warriors who are potent with or without weapons. They are swift, agile and quick to attack and evade assailants. Wuxias as swordsmen weight themselves on chivalry and the mastery of the different fighting arts through continuous practice and training.They are balanced both on attacking and defending enemies, plus their solid grasp of the different kinds of weapons, superior physical attack and fighting arts makes the deadly combination of power and speed makes the Wuxias a formidable foe to contend with.
Fashi (Mage) - Fashi’s are hot tempered but warm hearted masters of the conjuring arts. They can utilize the elements of water, fire and earth to their advantage. To maximize the elements of nature, Fashis are required to be immersed in a state of mystical meditation to be effective when attacking. During this state, the defense capability of Fashi’s are crippled but once conjuring is in effect, they can deal a great amount of long range damage to enemies. To the Fashi, the adage: “The best defense is always the best offense” seems to be appropriate. Aside from this, Fashi’s can absorb skills while developing their own skills as they level up.
