Xianfeng

Gate of the Dragon

• "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."
  
  ~ Lao Tzu
  
  
  The Dragon teaches you that if you want to climb high, you must do so against the wind.
  
  ~ Chinese Proverb
• Rivers run aplenty amongst these misty mountains, abundance of moving water keeping the earth quite green. It collects in pools that even boast aquatic life, somehow. Beneath the mountain range, the Forbidden Kingdom rests, where the Emperor of Man sits on his Dragon Throne, in his Dragon Robes, but without any contact with the Dragon who once guarded them. A few generations ago, the alliance was broken. Now, the people avoid the mountains, generally. On occasion, someone may brave the wild, SEEKING him. It is said that, though still consumed with rage at the betrayal, the noble beast judges each on a case-by-case basis. Most, however, still don't return.

  Interested in the ideas behind the Noodle Dragon? There is little to tell. I have a friend who requested an Eastern Dragon and I have a lot of love for Chinese Mythology, so I said sure. He's very flawed, aware of how he should be, but dealing with issues like anyone. One day, with a lot of work, maybe he'll ascend to Heaven and evolve into a Tianlong. Currently, though, that's not the idea for him presently. Heavy Taoism/Buddhism aspects are to show his knowledge of and attempting to improve, but expect an angry, volitile, grudge-bearing monster.
