Zhengyi Deshi

Zhengyi Deshi is an orc from Hua Xia, specifically the depths of Gorya (undefined due to unable to point accurate location on the map). He lives in Osteria, wandering around, reading his mantras every day. He is currently 29 years old. Zhengyi is not his last name, rather an ancient prefix title given that means celestial master in Hua Xian. Celestial masters are now known as priests, with Zhengyi being the highest honor one could achieve.

Appearance
Deshi is 5 feet 10 inches tall, has a slightly tall but slim build, and wears a plain green long tunic with boots and a lighter green cloak. Around his main tunic is a belt that holds various smaller pockets. He also has a shoulder bag around him, and a bandolier to carry smaller vials and a small book (which is his mantra book).

History
Deshi was born in first years of Gorya's terrible fog curse brought on by the king of Gorya. His family barely survived on what they could find to eat, and stayed with a very small collection of people. Eventually, the group would find themselves in a huge abandoned chapel, where Deshi was raised for his childhood. The group took to the books in the large library, and soon found the reason why the chapel was abandoned.

Inside the books contained the rituals to unseen, forbidden magic dealing with the blood. Part of the group demanded to stow away the books and it was never to be read.

This didn't stop some of the others in the group though. They read them in secret, and slowly took to their new abilties with blood magic. They continued to learn but hit the blockade of a deep ritual that needed to be done to seal the magic into their body known as the '''Hunter's Bane. '''They were not afraid though; they knew that doing this would give them the power to not only defend the chapel and the group, but be able to strive and build a new community.

And so, many in the group took the ritual, sealing the darkness they knew into their bodies. Some formed into werewolves, being stuck between the two forms. Some grew horns, their souls forever damned to be able to fight off the demons, and some took to speaking with the spirits of the chapel, learning much about the Blood Hunter ritual. Those who opposed either left or tried to fight off the newly created Blood Hunters, failing to do so. They were exiled from the chapel.

The new group of Blood Hunters soon formed the Forbidden Chapel of Zhong Kui, taking on the forgotten god of evil spirit and demon slaying ( The chapel would be considered forbidden because of both the ritual they had taken, and the god they had chosen, who had killed himself but was redeemed in death and placed into his role as ghost/demon vanquisher ).

Deshi and his parents remained, taking on this role themselves. Deshi would later become a Blood Hunter through the ritual completed by the elders, and rose through the ranks fast with his intelligence and his quick feet. It quickly gained the attention of a group unknown to the chapel known as the Undaunted, and Deshi would then be knighted as an Undaunted under the protection of Zhong Kui. He, however, swore to stay at the chapel and protect his people, but would also swear to protect all those who came to the chapel for protection and for provision.

During his daily mantra reading, however, Deshi was brought from the cold, dark halls of the chapel, to the dark catacombs of Necropolis in Osteria, and he fought his way out to the surface, beginning his new journey in Daleos.

--

He did his best to fit in Daleos, but never found his place. He soon found it when Queen Westrianna came to Daleos seeking any help to fight against the oppressive emperor. Deshi happily took the offer and was able to return to Hua Xia, though he would never go back to Gorya again.
