Description:
Handsome and unassuming, Xou's looks bely his tough character and even tougher fighting style. Xou has dark hair of medium length, and tends to wear simple clothes – a cotton shirt, and cotton trousers, rubber sandles in the contemporary era, or simple trousers and tunic in the 1850 or 69 AD junctures. When he needs it, he wraps his Manriki-Gusari around his waist or shoulder.

Xou Chien is normally a happy-go-lucky fellow who enjoys the simple things in life – good food, good people, and gambling with his buddies. Among the rough crowd he has earned some respect for his fighting skills and his stand-out-like-a-thumb honorable manner.

Story:
Xou Chien used to lead a pretty normal life – for a Transcended Animal. Living was pretty easy, until the Eaters of the Lotus rose to power. The Emperor's court began to issue very harsh decrees, and soldiery began to oppress the peasants.

In Xou's village of Tien-Yi, an entourage arrived one day, with one of the eunuch officials of the South Chamber. Stopping on their long journey, they made demands of the peasantry in the village that were imposible to fulfil. In outrage, the eunoch, named Ho Yar Quan, ordered the entire village put to the torch.

Many in the village were secretly living the lives of humans...as transformed animals. That day, they banded together to stop the pillaging of their village and earned the label 'outlaw'.

Chien was sent away to the distant mountains to avoid capture for himself punching the eunuch in the face. Chien was recruited into the 100 Wooden Avengers, a group of bandits who were opposed to the new regime in the capital. Over the years, Chien learned that the eunuchs, led by a man named Gao, had taken control of the emporer and planned on turning their perverse magics on the entire Middle Kingdom (ie, China)!

The 100 Wooden Men were recently scattered, and their mighty leader Iron Yu killed and executed...the remnants of the bandit group have been scattered and Chien is contemplating his next step...
