Combos
Warrior's Instinctual Defense: The pupil's of his eyes flash golden as suddenly his senses become magnified 10,000fold. He does not seem to move from one defensive postion to another instead suddenly seeming to be in a post block pose, the attack against him deflected with the weapon surrounded by a faint light of Solar essence. This combination of Suprise Anticipation Method and Heavenly Gaurdian Defense is the basic groundwork of his defensive style. The cost is 4m for each use of HGD(Compassion version) and 1m for any use of SAM.
Eight Demon's Defense: Centering himself a silent pulse emits from him, a golden ring flickering along the ground outward from him. The unique lethal intent of those who would attack him pings a responding ring back at him telling him how and where they will attack as well as how to strike back at them for their assault. This combo uses Suprise Anticipation Method, Heavenly Gaurdian Defense and Ready in Eight Directions Stance.
Blade of the Eight: Now the spirit of the eight warrior demons rises in him. Golden power slides along the edge of his weapon to cut down all who stand before him even as supernal awareness turns all blades aside. This combo uses Suprise Anticipation Method, Heavenly Gaurdian Defense and Ready in Eight Directions Stance and Hungry Tiger Technique.
Immortal Shining Blade: Immortal Blade Triumphant along with Blade Lair Discipline is added to Blade of the Eight.

Description
Lu Zhin is a handsome man with features placing him as a man of the Realm in his early to mid 20s. He is one of those few he can get away with not putting a lot of time into his looks and still pull off a handsome rogueish figure. Often in hand or tied to his belt at his side is a ceramic jug carrying pure water(Once was his booze jug) and saying in Old Realm Wisdom on it. A rice hat keeps the sun from his eyes when he walks or happens to be lounging around in a tavern in town or such. Looking very out of place is a golden shafted spear he keeps always with him too. Inlay of Orichalcum work up and down its length and the tip is hidden under a bag seeming made of spun silver and gold. His hair is dark like coal and his eyes are a warm sky blue often smiling with them as well as the smirk on his lips. He dresses as a man who has high opinions of himself and carries the look off well. He is at ease in the fine garments and they match well the almost noble airs he gives off.

He is well educated, well read, charming, able to put people at ease with words and smile with barely any effort. He has almost a tangible charm to him that draws others in.

History
Lu Zhin is actually surprisingly enough a man from the Realm. More surprisingly his full name would be Cathak Lu Zhin. This member of the Dynasty, born to no less then Cathak Cainan, was once a promising and devoted member of the family. Things changed however about a year ago. It was four years after the disappearnace of the Empress. Lu Zhin and several family members were in the Scavanger Lands. Himself, a married pair of Dragonblooded of the House, and several other mortal workers and servants. The couple had bought an old book off a Guild merchant which after translation of its Old Realm dialect spoke of a spear that slew the Juggernaut. Gambling on the books information about where it lay the pair gathered up some family and headed off into the wilds of the southeast.

They found it. The ancient ruin where it lay. Time had not been kind to the place but surely at one point a city was around this ruined manse. Weapons like this are never left around unprotected however. The guardian demons they found in the central chamber of this manse would have overwhelmed the group had Lu Zhin not become Exalted then and there. The demons recognized him as the rightful owner of the Spear and vanished back to their hellish realm leaving Lu Zhin to face off against his own family. They were weakened by the fight though while he was strengthened from his Exaltation and the weapon he now carried. Left with no choice he killed them all.

He gave his family proper burials and knowing certain old contacts in the Scavanger Lands that did dealings with the Realm he sold family weapons and armor knowing they would slowly make their way back to the Realm and the Cathak's so that his father would know they were dead. The profits taken from that he used wisely and invested into metalworking operations in Nexus. He had no head for business himself he knew but was experienced enough to know where to put his money so that it would sustain him while he went about his new life.

He had a new purpose now for himself. He had found books in that ruined manse and they spoke of a terrible weapon system called the Seperra System. The Seperra System was meant to be a form of next generation Thousand-Forged Dragons. Instead of attacking a manse directly this system could absord and ruin the geomantic energy from any land powering and strengthening itself as it went. It could leave blighted wastes wherever it went and never needed to approach a stronghold of the enemy to ruin the energies that fead it. According to the notes the prototype was finished but they never went into mass production after it was learned that the feeding effect of this machine also tended to produce Shadowlands. He had a memory of that. Of sealing the machine away into a mountain. He is sure it still exists and with the rising power of the Deathlords fears what would come if they claimed it. So he seeks it himself to destroy it.

He has little to go on he knows. Just memories of what the surrounding area of the mountain was once like. So he travels the lands investigating old accounts of areas in the first age so he can zero in on where it lies.

Contacts
Lady Butterfly. She runs a very high class escort service and pleasure house in Great Forks, the House of Flowers. She also is well connected and hears a lot of things. She knows enough about him to wonder where his money came from but doesn't know about his old Realm life.
Daban Gren. A dealer in first age curios and such matters based out of Nexus. It was to this man that he sold the family artifacts to. Once from the Realm himself he took at face value the idea that after the failure of the expidition that Lu Zhin didn't want his father to know he lived and just live quietly with the shame. He doesn't know he is a Solar.
Akmar Varzeem. A Guild Merchant Prince in the region round and inside the developing Celestial Empire. Lu Zhin made aquiantinces with the man shortly after the founding of Seven Sentinals and in exchange for information from him keeps the man aware of potentially profitable information about what the leadership of the Empire is doing.

Views on People and Things

Joyous Sky: Her heart is in the right place but she is too young and too stubborn. Gotta watch out for her until she gets a few more years on her.
Mina: Beautiful and strong. I trust her with my life. Wish she had a bit more ambition though. Still no one else I would rather have at my side on the battlefield.
Linarra: Keen mind and good with tactics. Don't understand why she stays with Sky but oh well. She will go far in life and I can't afford to let her go and do her own thing.
Viola: A bit more active and tempermental then her sister. Wonderful girl though. Devoted to me surely and such devotion must be rewarded and appreciated.
Latrani: He is good at what he does...but damn annoying at times. Too much a trickster and too unwilling to embrace what he is.
White Sparrow: Perhaps another Solar who thinks more like I do? A beautiful woman regardless and with her powers and my ambition we can make great changes to help all Creation.
Lana Ironwood Breaker: A friend and ally like her must be treasured. Packs a mean punch though.
Ivory: If there is anyone I can truely trust its her.
Sweet Mercy: I owe her my life. Beyond that I care much for this wonderful air aspect. You can't pin down the air but I hope she will be with us for a while.
Harmony: Pretty and so far loyal. She seems to be a blind spot for Sky though.
Mist Silhouette: Loyal to Sky and thats enough.
Flickering Star: Cute and young. She will be an asset in time.
Zee: An ancient ally. We must do what we can to help their race.
Cathak Theras: My loyal nephew I know I can trust to his support.
Cathak Emerald Lily: My niece and though she follows a strange way of the Immaculate Order she too will follow.
Altena: The representative from Lookshy. We will need her support and perhaps her loyalty can be shifted to us.
Mystic: She is one of us in heart though her Exaltation was corrupted. We have to help her.
Whisper: A wonderful woman and makes such...interesting novels.
Penitent: This one I feel will not be able to be helped until the soul has found a new incarnation. However for the moment a debt is owed her for helping Mystic.
Eris: All monsters show their claws eventually.
Kei: Young and charming and she is on the right path.
Anise: ...Complicated.
Triumphant Pillar: A solid man. Will be dependable in time.
Distant Crane: Heh...what an attitude.
Juniper: I like this girls style.
Disir: She had best make sure she keeps up her side of the agreement.
Eyes in Darkness aka Beloved Marisha: *pounce into a bed*
Samar: Don't know her well enough but a friend of Eyes is a friend of mine.
Kanna: Strong and will be stronger once she has found her focus again.
Adan: A good and noble man.
Answer: Amusing. Sometimes a child and sometimes an adult.
Vevina: Not sure about her yet.
Jezriel: *pleased and happy noises at the massage*
Sahmela: Every group needs a princess.
Suza: A gentle soul.
Nalia: Interesting but if we have learned anything from Whisper and others she deserves a chance.
