The Poleblade Man, He Who Commands Women
The Poleblade Man, He Who Commands Women
[/li][li]Men
Age: 32
Religion and Language: Qi Shu Han worships one of the two native religions, Shintoism. He is also a speaker of the Yamatai language due to him being from there.
Faction Loyalty: Qi Shu Han is loyal to his own family, which is the Qi faction, therefore, he is not apart of the Yamatai.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Profession: Qi Shu Han is a warlord who commands his own army in Yamatai. He commands an army of only 500 of this moment. 400 of them are women, and the 100 are men. 2 of his top advisers are women. In total, he has 5 talented advisers. He has no land to call home yet as of this moment.
Appearance: In his casual wear, he wears a robe and it's coloured the same as his armour. He has a bun on top of his head. His hair is also tied up and usually, he's cleanly shaved. He often ties up his hair into a pony tail if he is fighting or is being casual.
Personality: Though he commands his own army, and is a warlord, Shu Han is patient, calm and serious. Shu Han is usually concentrated on the matter at hand. He knows quite much about females, and how they react to certain things. Infact, he commands an entire brigade of them, yet he shares no interest in a female. He wishes to wait until the wars are over, so then he can settle down and then start thinking about that. During times of war, Qi Shu Han is a valiant commander and usually people fear him while he is on the battle field, since his fearful face and shouts usually scare the enemy.
History: Born in a small village north of Yamatai in the Chuuritsuchitai region on the 17th of August in the year 388 C.E, Qi Shu Han was raised by Qi Lu (齊魯) and Xiao Shuang (肖爽). His father was a strong full hearted warrior, and his mother was a rich merchant. Qi Shu Han was splashed in the Oxicuan river, which was supposed to be a holy river that bring good fortune and tells the faith of the child. Shu Han's faith was to follow the path of the warrior, which lead his parents into shock. So, all of his life, Shu Han had followed the path of the warrior.
When Shu Han was 6 years of age, he was chosen to choose his weapon of choice by both his father and mother, who taught him the way of the warrior. He chose a Poleblade which was one of the many weapons in the Spear family. He learned how to use three types of the weapon, A Pike, a Poleblade and a Spear. Perfecting all three of them, Shu Han at the age of 10, practiced with his new signature poleblade which he titles it the "Qixiao (奇效)", which is named after his father and mother respectively.
Most childhood stories would end with their parents dying at the age of 14 or so. Shu Han's parents though, never died, and remained with him until he grew up to be 16 years of age, which was his trial of manhood was going to begin. Telling his faith to master Tai Huzhen (大埔壺鎮), Shu Han took his trials of the warrior, by defeating 4 of the greatest warriors in his home village. Huzhen made it clear that Shu Han was officially going to be a warrior, and is ready to begin his own story. His parents, who held on to him in tears, wished him fairwell, and good luck on his journey. Though, Shu Han decided to stay at his home village until he departed at the age of 26. A few years later, he had arrived back in Yamatai with an army, ready to set out what is ahead of his ambitions. Shu Han then eventually took volunteers from his home village and begun to train them for a few years. Traveling from village to town seeking people with talent and strength, Shu Han hopes to one day bring order back to the Chuuritsuchitai region.
It would seem his years of being a simple man would come to an end, but Shu Han may have different plans sometime in the future. Of course, he could always go back to his parents and show how much support he has gotten.

Valencia gave a small sigh. She couldn't still think of a way to describe how she truly felt of reclaiming the east. Why would they want to even listen to a girl like Valencia anyways? She'll very well be the downfall of the very kingdom that Arthur wants to conquer. She doesn't want to kill millions of innocent lives just for the sake of her becoming the new quote on quote "Mother of the Realm". But at the same time, what Lady Marei left damaged, and Bilthe coming in to damage it more, shaken Valencia again. How could someone not care for their own people? It's cruel and oppressive! Valencia then spoke again to the god of war. "and if I ever do become "Mother of the Realm"," she started. "I hope for you to help me achieve my dream of a land of peace, where no one wishes to fight eachother... atleast for a while. Peace and Benevolence is great, but it's sadly temporary. Even if I had a benevolent grip on the people, there shall be that one person who will hate it, and would want to provoke something to start Chaos and Malevolence. My liege, we can't force people to be happy and free. Sometimes, we have to have Chaos, or there would be no balance, and the world would be rendered useless.".
Valencia was not that simple minded to believe that there would be a land of peace. Of course there can't be... this land is in an never-ending chaos, where peace shall be hard to find and keep. It's a luxury that only the VERY wealthy can afford. Simple scoundrels like them are the cause of the suffering. She wish she could just end it all. Arthur spoke about her guards again, saying that they are just soldiers, and how they will follow a commander to the depth of... wait, what was the last word he said...? Hell? Where Valencia was from, "hell" meant something else. Hmm, perhaps it was something Valencia remember hearing again, but it didn't really mattered for her. But Arthur spoke lowly about her guards again, which made her stomp her foot. "Would you quit calling my guards just soldiers?!?" she snapped, which was quite common for this young lady. "I believe that they worked extremely hard to protect me, and I pay them well. They train nearly every day, and they have their own lives and families! I want men to have their mind not just focused on me, but also focused on their lives as well! Think about it, they go into battle, and they may never come back to see their loved ones again!" Valencia begun to tear up as she kept on speaking. "And for the lives of these men... DYING infront of me... it... it just hurts! It HURTS!!!".
The last thing Benedict wanted to see was for Valencia to cry. Infact, he HATED when she cried. It's not the fact that he finds it annoying, he had a soft heart for kids, and well, Valencia was apparently a kid. She's only nine years old, and he's in his mid 20's, a strong and powerful warrior for Chrenia, who is loyal to Valencia. Though, he's normally the group's comedy relief character, whenever he saw Valencia cries, he gets serious. He bent down and place his arm over Valencia's shoulder, wiped off a tear from her eye and spoke. "Hey ki-... no, my lady." Benedict said, surprisingly more serious than he was ever in his life. He never referred Valencia as "lady". Only "Princess" or "Kid" since he found little girls different from little boys. It was something that had to do with his birthplace or something... hm, he don't know, and he don't care. "It's not your fault that men die in battle. If ever, it's their own fault. They want glory in battle, therefore, they serve a lord or lady who will give them that. That is why you see them every day leaving out into battle with a sword in their hand, and charging towards the enemy. They do this all for you. If you don't like it, then you should not be a general or a commander anymore, and stay at home. Otherwise, you're going to have to deal with that fact. War is hell, or in your country as they would call it... well... I don't know. But for a fact, if anything happens to you, me and my three other men are there just for you. That is why our God assigned us to be along your side.". Benedict then got up and looked towards his three other comrades. "Isn't this right, my friends? We four men will survive and fight to the death for our lady?!
When Benedict knelled and wiped a tear off of her eye, Valencia looked at Benedict and heard what he had to say. "Yes but...". Valencia couldn't really speak for how upset she was at herself, and other conditions she is. But when she heard Benedict mentioning that she shouldn't be a general and commander anymore if she detests seeing men die for glory for her, she quickly turned and spoke "Oh? And how about the ones who DON'T fight by force?!?". Today was just not the day for Valencia to speak about war. Of course she had soldiers who were forced to fight, and now she noticed that it was too late. But she gave another sigh. "But sometimes... you do have to be a bit cruel to stay in your position" she said. But then Benedict said something inspiring towards her other guards. It was something that Benedict would ever do, infact, he'd never do something like this. He's always the sarcastic one, but now he seems to be the confident, and smartest of them all as of this moment.
Christopher heard what Benedict said, and was quite shocked himself. He never heard Benedict spoke in such a bold and amazing matter. Infact, he felt that Benedict was more mature than Christopher can ever could be. But he didn't really cared about that. All he cared about was what he had to say. Christopher gave a salute with his sword on his chest. "Yes." he said. "If anything happens to our lady, we shall strike back at them!". The two remained silent, though they both were quite startled what Benedict said. They gave a salute as well as soon as he spoke. "We are guards of Lady Valencia!" Marcus said. "We shall protect her with our lives!". Roderick gave a salute towards his lady and raised his sword. "Hail our lady! We die for honour! We die for her! We are her blade and shield!" he said gracefully.
Apparently, Valencia had some very loyal and compassionate companions... for now. But even then, she still felt bad. Even though her guards gave a speech that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for her, it gave her a bad feeling that something bad might happen next. She took at a look at Arthur. "Please, just let them stay with me forever. If they die in battle... I will never forgive myself.". A girl with compassion... a bit too much of it, that could lead to her downfall.
