history

Lu Xiang was born into a impoverished travelling Mongolian trading tribe which inhabited the outskirts of the country, often shifting between the two during times of political unrest. Roughly eighty members which often slept with one another to increase the numbers; it wasn't unusual for cousins or aunt/uncles to take several families as partners to ensure the continuation of the tribe.

He spent many of his early days assisting his father with making a living, in which he learnt how to barter alongside his father. Often making trips into the surrounding countries trading with foreigners. He spent a lot of the time admiring the soldiers on display, their uniform, their weapons; his father dismissed his dreams. "You will never be like them boy.." he said. He was quite short for a child, what would a peasant boy bring to an army?

His father died from cholera when he was eight years old which brought horror to his childhood. He didn't deal with the loss very well and often would run away for hours, sometimes even days. Things quickly slipped through his fingers with his Mother being raped and killed by bandits not long after. Lu Xiang was taken capture and sold as slave to a affluent family in China. He served for several years around the household, often with the physical word as he developed throughout his early teenage years. His muscles began to grow and physical changes around him - the household owner promoted him to serve as his private bodyguard.. it was better than washing dishes.




Although like all things in Lu Xiang's life the good was only there to taste the bitter sour taste of the aftermath; and the residence owner soon died and his son inherited the estate. His son was jealous of Lu Xiang's and his fathers relationship. Especially towards the end of his life and criticized the Mongolian so much so to accuse him of taking his fathers life. He striped him of any possessions he held and banished him from the household. Lu Xiang was infuriated, and in fury he murdered the man later that night.. only to find himself regretting it.

He was taken away by the local authorities to the local prefecture, a man known as Cao Ren; who saw more in him than he saw in himself. He dealt the punishment; a life-time of service within the Wei army, 500 lashes and a levy he would never fully pay as well as community service to assist in the rebuilding of Wan Castle - but it sure was better than being a slave.

The enlisted himself within the army, participating in several skirmished and quickly distinguishing himself through his sheer presence.
