Aicin Saga
The Empire stretched back to the time of legends, yet only decades ago, was it torn asunder from the inside. As the march of time decimated the lands of Shenzhou, the people grew to adapt to their precarious situations.
Aicin Nuhu, born after the Glorious Revolution, was never able to experience the prosperity and harmony of the Empire of days yonder. Instead, he was thrust into a world he did not bargain for. But as so many others did, he adapted, and he thrived. Naturally talented with Chi infusion techniques, Aicin amassed great wealth and prestige. With graying hair, Aicin commands the most fearsome mercenary band in all of Southern Shenzhou, felling warlords by the dozens, all the while getting paid for it.
In the suffering of others he flourished, in his fragmented homeland he prospered. Personally having taken part in the nations fracturing, he has been the culprit behind much suffering. However, Aicin does not hold any domains himself, instead he lives a nomadic life with his merry band. He lives a life without loyalty and without chains.
But even with his immense experienced and highly trained band of mercenaries, Aicin still does not know if he would be able to take on the Great Pacifier of the North, he who rules a half of the late Empire. Nor does he know what doing so might drag him into. Conspiracies he would never dream about. Ones that could shake the very fabric of society and change the course of history once again.
But hey, a job is a job, and money is money.
