History:



The beginning of Zhou Tai is unknown but it is known to have been born somewhere in Xiacai in the Kiukiang Country however his childhood is a mystery. Nothing is known afterwards until he was a young adult where he joined a crew of pirates and lived on the sea's plundering any ship or port in sight. Zhou Ti did this for a great amount of time though over time, he felt little more then a barbarian with no purpose which  vegan to eat at hime slowly at first but quickly overwhelmed soon enough. Eventually he had enough and left and wondered for a time to find his answer and met many people and there ways of life and ideals. Over one summer, he boarded a ship and went across the land to the east to how there ideals and there ways of life. While he traveled the land of the east, Zhou Tai met a warrior claded in silver armor who was said to have slain a dragon using his mastery of the sword. Zhou Tai became interested in the man and pleaded with the man to take him under his wing. The man hesitated at first but eventually agreed after seeing the warrior within Zhou Tai's eyes. For over four years, Zhou Tai stayed with his master, learning the way of the sword and the code of a true warrior, making him one of the deadliest warriors by the time of his completion of training was finished. During his time under his master's training, Zhou Tai learned and forged his own Kai Ma Dao, Dusk and with over six months of refining crafted a sword of mastery. Even after his training was finished, he never learned his master's name and soon afterwards his master disappeared without a trace, only telling to find the The Wolf of Amne Machin to complete his training.



Zhou Tai soon returned to China and after traveling into western china for many months afterwards, finally hr arrived at  Luoyang where he heard of the monk's reputation as a warrior and traveled to the school to challenge the monk to a duel of martial abilities. The monk agreed on the condition he stay to train under him if he was too lose. Zhou Tai agreed and short heated battle began but quickly ended as soon as it started as the monk was able to use a Technique to quickly disarm Zhou Tai by shutting down his chi gates. Zhou Tai became fascinated with this ability and asked to be tought how to aquire, falling to realize he had lost the duel in the first place which allowed him to train under the monk. The monk happily accepted Zhou Tai as a student and promised to make him a great warrior on the condition he uses this ability for an honorable cause, Zhou Tai agreed and after many years of the most intense training possible he finally was able to fully open his Chi gates and transformed into his Ascended form however he still had great difficulty with this ability and would never master it. Though he did not master this ability, he believed he learned all he could from his master and gave him his farewells and contiuned his travels. Even after years of traveling and learning many skills and abilities, he still did not find his purpose until one day he was at Xuancheng where he saw a great battle taking place. During the battle, near one of the walls became heavily damaged and sever dozens of bandits used the damaged fortifications to there advantage to kill Sun Quan. Sun Quan tried to run off on his steed but he was quickly surrounded. His attackers were able to cut off his horse's saddle and he was isolated. While the rest of the army's attendants were shocked by the situation. Without hesitation,without thought, Zhou Tai on horseback charged towards the dozens of bandits and faced death and alone to rescue to save the helpless man. He rode through there ranks, slaying as many as he could before his mount was killed and rushed to the man as soon as possible, showing skill and determination. His courage while facing the bandits was enough to inspire the rest of the noble's army to hurry to their aid. By the time the bandits fled, Zhou Tai was deeply wounded in twelve different parts of his body, which would take many years to fully recover. Hearing that his heroics inevitably saved his brother's life, Sun Ce greatly praised Zhou Tai and appointed him as the Chief of Chungu Prefecture but Zhou Tai denied saying he was a simple warrior. Not taking a no for an answer the person he saved was no other then Sun Quan himself who asked Zhou Tai to serve him directly as a Warrior and bodyguard. After a few moments Zhou Tai agreed and was quickly made a Captain in Wu's army though he often take his bodyguard duties more seriously. He served for many years afterwards, eventually being named a Flash Bladed General although Zhou Tai often disliked fancy titles.

Although incredibly effective in battle for a time, After the body weakens and can no longer control it's Chi, it will the body very weak and possibly extreme damage to their own body depending on the level of Chi Energy released.
