The Jade Empire - OOC Thread

I'd like to bring The Great Emperor Yu in as a recurring character, but I am sorry I can't find where he was first introduced.

I have a skeleton of a character profile made up for him, and hope whoever created the character can let me know if there is anything I should add - (or suggestions from any of you)

Name: The Great Emperor Yu

Male or female: Male

Age: Thousands of years old

Chinese, British, American or French? Chinese

Physical appearance:

Yu appears as an old man, but his exact age is unknown, since he has lived since the dawn of recorded time. His eyes are dark and penetrating. Portly, with a neatly trimmed beard and a long, thin moustache, he wears voluminous robes fashioned of gold silk, elaborately embroidered, and a flat-topped crown with hanging strings of jade beads.

Backstory:

The first emperor, Yu is the creator and builder of the Shen-Ji—the God Machine. He now resides above the clouds, in Chíjiŭ Temple, which translates to “the Enduring Temple” – but does sometimes make appearances on Earth.

Personality:

Thousands of years of experience has embedded restraint in him. His expression remains calm and unreadable. He possesses all the wisdom of all the books ever written, and is motivated by goodness and justice.

Other information:

Great Yu was introduced in my latest post. I didn't intend for him to still be alive, seeing as he's a legendary emperor said to have founded the first dynasty of China (Xia Dynasty). Some sources say he's connected to the Jade Emperor, or he even is the Jade Emperor. He is said to have been buried in the Kuaiji Mountains in Zhejiang province (Shanghai is nearby).

The guardian lion would be all that remains of him. But I'd like to see what you think first.

I've also tried to imply that there is more than one God-Machine. Maybe Locke can go looking for them and the party can chase after him.

I've made him into an immortal, if that is okay

Well maybe he simply doesn't concern himself with the matters of current China. Too busy tinkering with his machines.

Also - I would like to bring in Master Gyatso in as a recurring character, too.

@ellekaldwin - I believe you created him. Would you like to make up his character profile, or would you like me to?

Yes! I can write up a character profile ASAP. Sorry for the late reply. I gotta get back into the habit of checking here daily. The holidays and getting the flu got me all out of wack

Yes! I can write up a character profile ASAP.

Thank you!

This would require the gang traveling all over China and I'm not sure this is feasible in our story?
