| − | == BRIEF HISTORY ==
| |
| | | | |
| − | Born into considerable political clout as the child of the present Taimyo of the First Field Force, Karal Linwei, great things were expected of Shin. Unfortunately, the child disappointed: he had no lack of talent but suffered under a debilitating lack of ambition.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Though his tutors at the House of the Five Winds helped develop his natural tactical acumen by utilising lessons outside the normal scope of the education provided, Shin still lacked the determination to truly excel. Nonetheless, his talents were adequate and his natural leadership ability was impressive enough that he was accepted into the Lookshy military as an officer.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | By design however, he was to take command under his father, Linwei so that he could personally see to it that the wayward child learnt what it meant to be a real officer of the Seventh Legion, by taking him in hand to prevent even the hint of favouritism. Shin's first deployment out of his father's watchful eye was the training exercise that eventually led to the Battle of Emerald Tears; the days that built up to its climax saw more and more of his men dying under his command.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the final battle, once they had realised the truth of Varash's invasion, Shin was jolted from his stupour by the reality of suffering and of the responsibilities that were his to address. Shin's first true act of selfless leadership called him to the attention of the Unconquered Sun, and in rallying his men against the seemingly-impossible odds, he was Exalted.

| |
| − | == APPEARANCE ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Shin is a lean but built young man with long red-brown hair and intense brown eyes, a legacy of House Karal's strongly Fire-aspected bloodline. His hair is commonly tied up in a tight ponytail or even braided in an oriental style for formal occasions. He is of average height and can sometimes be mistaken for a fire-aspected Dragonblooded, albeit a weak one.

| |
| − | Shin has an intuitive understanding of tactics - this carries over into any situation where it can be reasonably believed to be useful, from mass-combat to strategic games.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <b>Mechanics:</b> During any reasonable situation, Shin can put aside an action to roll his Wits + Awareness to determine how much information on the situation he has taken in and understood.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The successes on this roll are accumulated into a pool of bonus dice that he can divide among any relevant rolls (leadership, combat, strategy), as long as the bonus dice do not exceed 3. The pool of bonus dice remains until they are all used or until the end of the scene.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | At any time, Shin can put aside another action to reroll his Wits + Awareness to reevaluate the situation but he will have to have used all his bonus dice before he can do so.
