Shaolin

Clan Introduction
The clan is a strict discipleship of Buddhist Monks, sometimes referred to as “The Noble Clan,” because their disciples demonstrate righteousness and mercy in all their deeds.

“A disciple of Shaolin must vow to reform evil when he finds it and to bring peace where he can.”

They believe that even the worst evil-doers can be reformed through the clan's light. When proven false, the fault lies not in their opponents, but within themselves.

“You should not take life, make others take life, or take delight in death. To become a student of Shaolin, you first need to rid yourself of ego.”

Passing Shaolin’s gates, and earning discipleship, means giving up all worldly possessions, vanity, and selfish desire. Then one must commit to endless meditation upon the Buddha’s merciful teachings. Coinciding with this, one must make a suitable temple of one’s own body where the Buddha’s seed may thrive.

Luohan Monk
(Warrior)

Weapon Specialization: (Polearms)

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.



Diamond Monk
(Healer)

Weapon Specialization: (Gloves)

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.



Deva Monk
(Hybrid)

Weapon Specialization: (Gloves/Bracers)

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.



Exorcist Monk
(Nuker)

Weapon Specialization: (Bracers)

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.
